PART I


This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve risks and uncertainties. Purchasers of any of the shares of common stock of Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. are cautioned that our actual results will differ (and may differ significantly) from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those factors discussed herein under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report generally.  The reader is also encouraged to review other filings made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) describing other factors that may affect future results.

Item 1. Business


Fresh Medical Laboratories, Inc. (referred to herein as the Company or ProLung, or versions of we) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 19, 2004.  ProLung is a medical device company that has developed, tested, and is commercializing its non-invasive lung cancer diagnostic test (Test).  The Test is designed to be adjunctive to Computed Tomography (“CT”), or what is commonly referred to as a “CT scan” of the chest. We believe that our Test may assist in evaluating the risk associated with a questionable CT finding in the lung.   As most patients at high risk of lung cancer  receiving a lung a lug CT have questionable findings, clarifying the risk of disease has the potential to reduce the cost, anxiety, and/or time associated with the inaccurate and/or delayed diagnosis of lung cancer.  Risk clarification may also play a role in identifying those patients who need more vigilant follow-up.  From inception to date, we have generated limited revenues. We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.


The address of our principal executive office is:

Company Overview


On October 11, 2012 the Company filed a trademark application to use “ProLung in its business operations in lieu of Freshmedx in the U.S.  Subsequently, in this filing, the Company uses the term ProLung when referencing the Company name or its proprietary lung cancer test.  


The Company was incorporated on November 19, 2004, as a Delaware corporation under the name of Hilltop Group Technologies Corp. In November 2006, the Company changed its name to Fresh Medical Laboratories, Inc.

 

On November 15, 2006, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with BioMeridian Corporation (“BMC”). The license agreement allowed the Company to use certain BMC technology in the development of a medical device.  

 

Our initial focus was to develop, market, and sell noninvasive––diagnostic devices for a life threatening disease. We obtained encouraging results in a well-controlled proof of concept trial in lung cancer patients and healthy volunteers.  Our clinical studies demonstrated the utility of the device to potentially improve the timing and accuracy of risk evaluation of patients with lung lesions that may or may not have lung cancer (risk stratification).  








We are now making prepartions to sell and market the ProLung Test in US and International Markets.


US Market


In the US, an estimated $1.3 to $1.5 million, over a period of eight to twelve months, is required to obtain U.S. FDA 510(k) regulatory clearance, as well as placement of an investigational ProLung Test devices at more than 20 hospitals and clinics for research purposes. Assuming our U.S. FDA 510 (k) is granted, and that the more stringent 510(k) de Novo clearance or Premarket approval is not required, of which there can be no assurance, we plan to convert hospitals involved in research to commercial placements of the ProLung Test device and related ProLung Test Kit.


In July of 2013. the US Preventative Services Task Force recommended insurance reimbursement for the low-dose CT screening of individuals at a high risk of lung cancer.  It is proposed that reimbursement coverage under the Affordable care Act would go into effect beginning in 2015.  Health centers across the US are creating centralized nodule clinics preparatory to receiving individuals that are being screened for lung cancer.  Pending regulatory approvals, we have the unique opportunity to sell the ProLung Test as an adjunctive test at these centers.  These nodule clinics will concentrate patients for follow-up in single locations and discover additional patients with lung nodules that may benefit from our Test.


Europe Market


With over 500 million people, the European Union and its Free Trade Association members represent the second largest healthcare market outside the United States.  We plan on selling the Prolung Test in Europe through a network of distributors.  These distributors will market and sell under the Company’s European Union approval or “CE” mark which we obtained effective May 10, 2013.  In September 2013 the Company is identifying and negotiating with prospective European distributors.


China Market


In China, the growth trend of smoking is stable and growing.  Lung cancer is epidemic in China and the worst is yet to come as one in three cigarettes smoked in the world are smoked in China.  We plan on selling the ProLung Test in China through a distributor who is establishing and expanding operations near Shanghai, China


Lung Cancer Overview


According to the World Health Organization, cancer is expected to overtake heart disease as the leading worldwide cause of death. Lung cancer is by far the most deadly of all cancer sites, killing more people than breast, prostate, colon, liver, kidney, and melanoma cancers combined.  Each year there are over 1.6 million new cases of lung cancer worldwide, as well as nearly 1.4 million deaths.  It kills more women than breast cancer and the lifetime chance of developing lung cancer is 1:16 in women and 1:13 in men.1

Lung cancer patients face median five-year survival rates of only 16 percent (compared to 93 percent for breast cancer and 100 percent for prostate cancer, the only two cancers with greater incidence)1 in the rate of lung cancer survival has lagged behind that of other cancers largely due to a lack of early and effective diagnostics, resulting in delayed intervention.  This is evidenced by the fact that 84 percent of lung cancer patients present with locally advanced or metastatic disease.  With accurate early diagnosis, five-year survival could approach 80 percent.2

 

Business Objective

 

In 2008, there were almost 1.4 million deaths from lung cancer worldwide and approximately 161,000 deaths from lung cancer in the U.S.3  Lung cancer kills more than breast, prostate, colon, liver, kidney and melanoma cancers combined.4 The disease is discovered and acted upon too late to enable life-saving and life-extending treatment.   Of the patients that are diagnosed, 84 percent were diagnosed when lung cancer was locally advanced (incurable) or metastatic.  As a result the five-year survival of lung cancer is only 16 percent, far below that of other major cancers.5 If lung cancer could be diagnosed early, it is projected that survival would soar to 80 percent or more within five years.6  In addition, if most lung cancer could be diagnosed accurately at first detection of a lesion, months and years of emotional trauma from a possible lung cancer diagnosis may be eliminated.

 

The current standard of care involves the use of CT scans of the chest to evaluate incidental and symptomatic patients.  These images provide important information about the location and size of lung masses and raise suspicion, but up to 94 percent of those masses turn out to be noncancerous.7  Resolution of the suspicion of lung cancer currently involves waiting for growth to confirm lung cancer in subsequent CT scans.   

 

For the 2.5 million Americans that undergo CT scans and have suspicious lesions each year, an immediate answer is needed (i) to immediately establish or defer the need for an expensive and life-threatening biopsy or (ii) to eliminate the cost and traumatic anxiety of waiting for months or even years for radiological stability while running the risk of metastatic cancer.8

 The evaluation of patients with lesions suspicious for lung cancer needs to be immediate, the surgical biopsy needs to be better informed, and the trauma and cost of anxious waiting eliminated.

 

Business Opportunity

 

ProLung is introducing the ProLung Test that we believe is the first accurate and reliable bioconductance measurement method that has been shown to evaluate the risk of lung cancer in patients with lesions of the lung in well-controlled clinical trials.

The “ProLung Test”

 

The ProLung Test is planned to be introduced to the market like an existing pathology test except that there is no need for transmission of a physical sample or specimen.  Instead, the ProLung Test involves the acquisition of precision bioconductance measurements between a patented ProLung Test probe and disposable diaphoretic electrodes1 placed on the back and arms.  Data containing precision measurements is processed by a proprietary classifier algorithm and a report is electronically generated that may be used by the physician in addition to the CT scan, patient history and other information to evaluate patients with suspicious masses or lesions identified by CT scan.  ProLung Tests are immediate, pain-free, non-invasive, and non-radiating.  They require little patient preparation and can be completed in less than 20 minutes by a certified technician.

 

ProLung produces the following components of the ProLung Test system:

 

•      ProLung Test -  The patented high fidelity ProLung probe is placed to measure transthoracic bioconductance2 and management believes it offers improved risk evaluation in patients with lesions of the lung in well-controlled clinical trials than may be obtained by CT alone.  The ProLung Test guides the technician and self-validates measurements for immediate analysis and reporting.

 

•       ProLung Test Kit – Each single-use ProLung Test Kit displays a unique access code that is required for access to a ProLung Test report together with all of the components necessary to assure precision test performance, patient comfort and hygiene. Consumables provided in the surgical style, tear open envelope that includes 6 (six) diaphoretic electrodes, 1 (one) ProLung Probe tip and introducer and 1 (one) moistening sponge.  The ProLung Test Kit is only sold as a tamper resistant unit that may be traceable by inventory lot, physician, hospital and   distributor.

 

The ProLung Test Procedure

 

The ProLung Test procedure is performed by a qualified test technician and may be completed in 20 minutes.

 

A qualified test technician:

 

  •    Connects the ProLung Test to the ProLung Probe, ProLung electrode cables, Internet and power.   Following a brief power on sequence, the ProLung Test completes self-diagnostics.

 

 •    Seats the subject.  Removal of underclothing is typically unnecessary.

 

 •    Opens one new single-use ProLung Test kit from its tamper-proof packaging.


•      Applies single-use easily-removable diaphoretic electrodes at sites on the patient’s back and arms.

 

•      Enters test session data including technician name, physician name, report delivery method, patient data.  

 

•      Begins testing, as prompted by the device, by applying the ProLung Probe to acquire measurement data from sites on the chest, shoulders and arms.

 

•      Monitors the acquisition of real-time data.  Should re-measurement be required, the device provides visual and audible notification that it has not received usable data.


1 A self-adhesive foam conductor and medium from which an electric current is conducted to or from the human skin that can generate sweat or perspiration.


2 The measurement of electrical resistance in the human through the thoracic cavity or chest wall.








Research and Clinical Trial Results1

 

The ProLung ProLung Test and ProLung Test were evaluated in four clinical trials.  The trials include:

 

I. PROOF OF PRINCIPLE - McHenry, IL (2007)

 

      Description.  A blinded single site study of 36 subjects to detect differences in bioelectrical impedance2 measurements in age and gender-matched healthy subjects and lung cancer patients.

 

      Results. The Device discriminated perfectly between tissue-confirmed lung cancer patients and age and gender    matched healthy volunteers in a blinded trial.  

 

II. RELIABILITY AND REPEATABILITY Salt Lake City, UT (2008)

 

     Description.A single-site study to evaluate the variability in the device and subjects in 22 healthy volunteers.

 

      Results. The device showed a reliability index of 0.993 and a correlation between device replicates of 0.0985 indicating a reproducible result can be obtained from a single test result.  

 

III. EFFICACY IN THE TARGET INDICATION Baltimore, MD (2012)

 

      Description.This single arm, single site algorithm finding and internal validation trial was designed to offer efficacy and safety in the risk stratification4 of a thoracic malignancy in patients symptomatic of lung cancer who have a suspicious mass as confirmed by CT scan.  

 

     Results.Final results included the identification and internal validation of an algorithm capable of 90 percent sensitivity   (correctly identifying 26 of 29 malignant masses), 92 percent specificity (correctly identifying 11 or 12 non-malignant    masses), and ROC area (combined sensitivity and specificity) of 90 percent (correctly identifying 37 of 41 patients   overall). Final results were presented in 2011 at the World Conference of the International Association for the Study of   Lung Cancer and at the Annual Congress of the European Respiratory Society and were published in the April 2012   edition of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.5

 

IV.  A Multi-Center Trial of the ProLung Test as an Adjunct to CT Chest Scans for the Risk Stratification of Patients with Pulmonary Lesions Suspicious for Lung Cancer (in progress)

 

•      Description. A multi-site, single arm trial designed to optimize and confirm the stability of the ProLung Test risk-stratification algorithm  and Externally validate the efficacy of the ProLung Test risk-stratification algorithm by comparing the test result to the conclusive patient diagnosis

 

      Results. Pending completion of the trial.

Market Overview for the ProLung Test


Market Size

 

Pre-surgical risk evaluation of indeterminate lung nodules is a potentially massive global business. ProLung plans to vigorously pursue entry into selected international markets to provide early revenue and field testing useful for entry into the US market. The respective market sizes of the US and international regions can be estimated as follows:

 

•      MARKET: US.  ProLung estimates the US market potential to be approximately 2.5 million ProLung Tests per year, valued at $1.5 billion.  


The Company believes that this market will expand dramatically as low-dose chest CT screening is adopted.  The CT screen will concentrate the market in centers designed by healthcare providers to offer better follow-up services, discover new cases for potential ProLung Testing and centralize medical disciplines required to treat the disease.

The Company estimates that there are 123 million Americans at high risk of lung cancer (96 million current and former smokers, 27 million exposed to carcinogenic agents at home or in industry).1

 

Symptomatic:  0.2 million

 

Each year 226,160 are diagnosed with lung cancer.2  Approximately 90 percent of lung cancer patients are symptomatic at presentation (~203,544).3

  

Asymptomatic /Incidental:  2.4 million

 

In addition, an estimated 13.5 million chest CT scans are performed primarily for other purposes, of which 18 percent reveal incidental non-calcified solitary pulmonary nodules, resulting in an estimated 2.4 million patients without lung cancer symptoms whose indeterminate masses require follow-up.4

 

ProLung Test Benefits

 

Based on the number of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients who undergo CT scans and assuming that ProLung Tests will be used in conjunction with each of the CT scans, the Company estimates an initial U.S. market potential of approximately 2.5 million ProLung Tests per year at a projected wholesale price of $400 per ProLung Test.  The ProLung Test may be priced for rapid penetration at $15,000, but due to the importance of recurring ProLung Test Kit revenue the device could be given away with minimal effect on the Company’s bottom line.

 

By enhancing physicians’ patient risk-stratification capabilities, ProLung ProLung Tests enable more informed treatment decisions.  Patients shown by ProLung Test to have low probability of malignancy may enter “watchful waiting” or a periodic monitoring mode instead of proceeding to immediate biopsy of the lung, thereby reducing potential costs, risk and recovery.  Patients with high likelihood of malignancy can be prioritized for treatment, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis and improved prognosis and treatment options.

Any reduction in expensive futile biopsy procedures performed may yield significant savings to the healthcare system.  Given the number of these procedures (estimated at over 50,000 per year)1 and the complexity and risk involved (ranging from punctured lung and infection for all procedures to a 4.4 percent mortality for resection by thoracotomy),2 pre-surgical evaluation via ProLung Test may also improve outcomes for individuals whose indeterminate masses are non-cancerous.   

  

Competition

 

The development and commercialization of new products to improve the accuracy of pre-surgical staging and diagnosis of lung cancer is competitive and ProLung expects considerable competition from major medical device companies, laboratory tests and academic institutions that are conducting research in lung cancer.  Extensive research and financial resources have been invested in the discovery and development of new lung cancer identification tests. Potential competing technologies include, but are not limited to; breath markers, sputum cytology3 and markers, blood markers4 , radiography and CT imaging.

 

The timing of market introduction of some of our potential products or of competitors’ products may be an important competitive factor. Moreover, the speed with which we can develop products, complete clinical trials and approval processes and supply commercial quantities to market are expected to be important competitive factors. We expect that competition among products approved for sale will be based on various factors, including product efficacy, safety, reliability, availability, price, reimbursement and patent position.

•      7,536,220

•      7,542,796

•      7,937,139


Exclusive License Agreements

 

On January 20, 2005, the Company entered into a License Agreement with BMC whereby the Company obtained a license from BMC to use certain BMC patents worldwide.  This Agreement was amended on November 2, 2006, through an Amended and Restated License Agreement with BMC, on November 26, 2007, through the First Amendment to Amended and Restated License Agreement, and on September 1, 2008, through the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated License Agreement. Under the agreements, as amended, the Company has the right to the exclusive use of certain patents pending and related technology (the “technology”) in its medical devices and other products for an indefinite term. In return, the Company has agreed to incur a minimum of $4,750,000 in development costs by the year 2014 to develop and market its products worldwide based on a graduated schedule and to make royalty payments based on a percentage of the aggregate worldwide net sales (as defined in the agreement) of its medical device and other products that utilize the technology.  Under the agreement, the Company shall pay BMC a royalty based on the aggregate worldwide net sales during each calendar year in an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of net sales, up to $50 million in annual net sales, six percent (6%) of net sales from $50 million to $200 million in annual net sales, and five percent (5%) of net sales above $200 million in annual net sales.  The agreement, as amended, addresses certain mechanical aspects of the hardware and a portion of the software of the ProLung Test.  Specifically, the Company has licensed certain design features of the ProLung Test including the probe and platform, which are described in U.S. patent numbers 7,536,220, 7,542,796, and 7,937,139.  In addition, the Company has licensed the rights to the technology that controls the functionality of the probe.

 

Governmental Regulations



Marketing Approvals

 

We must receive separate regulatory approvals from the U.S. FDA and equivalent regulatory bodies in other countries for each of the devices before we can sell them commercially in the United States or internationally.    We cannot market any of our product candidates until we have completed the requirements for regulatory approval.  We do not know whether regulatory authorities will grant approval for any of the products our marketing or distribution partners and we develop.








A summary of the status of our of our marketing approvals in the key initial markets we have identified is set forth below:

 

     United States.  The ProLung Test has been designated a “non-significant risk device” by Institutional Review Boards associated with ProLung clinical trials, permitting uninhibited investigational use of the device.  ProLung is preparing a 510(k) Class II submission to the FDA.  Devices cleared via Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act can be marketed and sold in the United States.  ProLung plans to submit its 510(k) in August 2013.  Although governing regulations anticipate that the FDA will issue a decision on a 510(k) petition within 90 days, the FDA may extend the process in order to gather additional information.  Also, it is possible that FDA would determine the ProLung Test is not eligible for the 510(K) process and require the Company to go through a rigorous premarket approval process requiring the Company to conduct several phases of clinical trials over a period of several years.  



•      European Union. ProLung has engaged a Notified Body to assess its compliance with the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC standard required for European approval. CE marking has been granted as of May 10, 2013 and it certifies that the product has been assessed by an authorized notified conformity assessment body before being placed on the market, permitting the product to be sold throughout the European Economic Area (European Union member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), Switzerland and Turkey. CE marking also required manufacturers to maintain an ISO 13485 Quality System.  CE marking may accelerate regulatory approval in other regions.

  

•      China. State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”) roughly follows the US FDA model, and approval permits the marketing and sale of the device in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).  To be sold in China, medical devices must be registered with Chinese health authorities. This involves not only sample product testing but also factory audits.  A US ISO 13485 certificate satisfies Chinese quality system requirements.


Manufacturing Requirements


As a manufacturer of medical devices, ProLung must comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 820141 also known as the quality system regulation that outlines current good manufacturing practice regulations as established by the US FDA.  These requirements are meant to ensure that medical devices are safe and effective.  ProLung maintains a quality management system that includes standard operating procedures for key processes such as manufacturing, record keeping, post market surveillance, complaint handling and corrective and preventative action.  The ProLung quality management system is ISO 1348542 certified and complies with the FDA 21 CFR Part 820 Good Manufacturing Practice regulations.   We will also be subject to similar requirements imposed by other countries.


Manufacturing


ProLung intends to utilize contract manufacturers for the physical manufacturing of its products.  This may afford numerous benefits, including:

 

•      avoidance of significant start-up costs required to acquire manufacturing personnel and brick and mortar manufacturing facilities.

 

•      ability to ramp up production quickly.

 

•      access to leading technologies, supply chain networks and best-in-class manufacturing processes for its products.

 

•      ISO 13485 Certification, with fully automated real-time component traceability, product assembly, obsolescence mitigation, risk management and product reliability testing.

 

•      flexibility to use one or many manufacturers in any region of the world to optimize costs, production volumes, material availability, lead times, and to meet various regional regulations.

  

The Company has interviewed, performed site visits, and qualified the multiple redundant contract manufacturers required to produce its products.  As of January 1, 2013, the Company has no contractual obligations with such contract manufacturers for the manufacturing of its products.


1







The Company’s prospective contract manufacturers will source ProLung product components from multiple specialized vendors that supply plastics, sheet metal, machining, cables, wire harnesses, and other computer hardware components.  The Company maintains its own design control and ISO 13485 quality system.  

 

Distribution

 

The Company is currently in various stages of market development in finding, evaluating, selecting, and managing licensing/distribution partners in the United States and other international markets. As we obtain necessary regulatory approvals, distribution will occur from a combination of these contacts.  

 

Research and Development


The Company spent $861,520 and $639,750 on company-sponsored research and development during fiscal years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.


Employees

 

The Company currently has two full-time employees and one part-time employee.


Emerging Growth Company


We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any May 30.


Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company” and because we will have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards, we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it.  Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry.  If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.







Item 1A. Risk Factors


Risks Associated with Marketing Approvals


The processes of conducting clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approvals are uncertain, time consuming, and expensive processes.  If we or our marketing and distribution partners fail, we will not be able to rely on the results generated from those trials for purposes of advancing or filing for regulatory approvals to market and sell our products and services.  In that case, we would need to repeat studies, which would increase our development cost and may delay entry into the market.

 

Even if we complete our clinical trials successfully, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approvals.  Data obtained from clinical studies are subject to varying interpretations that could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval, and failure to observe regulatory requirements or inadequate manufacturing processes are examples of the other problems that could prevent approval.  In addition, we may encounter delays or rejections due to additional governmental regulation from future legislation, administrative action, or changes in FDA and other regulatory policy.  Even if the FDA or other regulatory authority approves our products and services, marketing the products or services for a different indication will require supplementary applications.

 

None of our products have received all of the regulatory approvals required for commercial sales.  We have completed product testing needed for approval of the European CE marking and related manufacturing approvals but there can be no assurance that the regulations for ProLung Test and its related ProLung Test device will not change in the future for the European market or that the regulatory requirements will not change for other markets in which we intend to make, market or sell our devices.  Failure to comply with applicable FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in various adverse consequences, including delay in approving or refusal to approve a product, revocation of existing licenses, criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, or injunction, as well as other regulatory action against our products, services or us.

 

Outside of the United States, our ability to market any of our potential products and services is contingent upon receiving marketing authorizations from the appropriate regulatory authorities.  Various foreign regulatory approval processes include all of the risks associated with the FDA approval processes described above.

 

We may be subject to a variety of laws and regulations relating to product safety, among other things. We believe that we are currently in compliance with such laws and have no current liabilities there under. Our intent is to maintain strict compliance with all relevant product safety laws, rules and regulations.

 

In addition, ProLung intends to pursue regulatory approval for multiple regions in parallel. CE marking, which permits sale in the European Union and selected additional countries and facilitates approval in most others, has been prioritized because of its broad utility.


Risks Associated with Patent Applications


As is the case with all patent applications, there can be no assurance that each of the patent applications listed in the Schedules above will result in the grant of a patent, or that the scope of protection provided by any patent, which is granted, will be valid or identical to the scope of the currently pending applications.  No assurance can be given that the exploitation of the inventions described and claimed in the applications will not infringe the rights of patents held by third parties.   


Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments


None.


Item 2. Properties


The Company currently maintains a corporate office at 757 East South Temple, Suite 150, Salt Lake City, Utah 84102. The Company leases this property for $2,888 a month. The term of lease expires on July 31, 2014, but may be canceled with 90 days of written notice if the Company outgrows the current leased premises. This location is approximately 2,500 square feet of office space. The Company feels this space is sufficient until the Company commences full operations.







Item 3. Legal Proceedings


We know of no existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or any of their respective affiliates, or any beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.


Not applicable.

Plan of Operation

 

The Company plans to continue the development and deployment of medical devices and procedures specializing in the immediate, non-invasive evaluation of indeterminate masses seen in CT and radiography.  The Company will need to fund expansion by raising capital over the next two (2) years.  The amount of capital could change based on the opportunities available to us and the ability to expand our markets.  The Company believes that over the next two (2) years our operations will be cash flow positive but will not provide sufficient revenue to fund the expansion and or potential acquisitions.  

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company is primarily engaged in development and deployment of medical devices and procedures specializing in the immediate, non-invasive evaluation of indeterminate masses seen in CT and radiography, securing strategic alliances, completing its reorganization, and obtaining financing.  During the period from inception (November 22, 2004) to December 31, 2012, Fresh Medical Laboratories recognized licensing income of $100,000 and incurred operating expenses totaling $6,860,036.  Our operating expenses consisted of research and development and general and administrative expenses totaling $5,186,792 and $1,673,244 respectively.  The Company did not generate any revenue prior to 2010.  During the period from inception (November 22, 2004) to December 31, 2012, Fresh Medical Laboratories recognized government grant income of $249,479 and a gain on debt extinguishment of $17,201.  During the period from inception (November 22, 2004) to December 31, 2012, the Company recognized interest expense of $859,915.

 

The Company received a reimbursement grant from the IRS under Section 48D of the Internal Revenue Code based on qualified investments in a qualifying therapeutic discovery project. The grant was limited to 50% of the qualified investment. The IRS certified the Company qualified investment of $488,959 in 2010. The Company recognized $244,479 of grant income in 2010 for the IRS grant.






 

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company has continued development and deployment of medical devices and procedures specializing in the immediate, non-invasive evaluation of indeterminate masses seen in CT and radiography, securing strategic alliances, completing its reorganization, and obtaining financing.   The Company incurred operating expenses totaling $1,277,322, a $260,205 increase from the prior year.  General and administrative expenses for the year ending December 31, 2012 increased from $377,367 to $415,802 for 2011 and 2012 respectively, due to an increase in payroll and professional fees.  Research and development expenses increased from $639,750 to $861,520 due to an increase in consulting expenses and professional fees for the year ending December 31, 2011 and 2012 respectively.  The Company did not generate any licensing revenue during the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

The Company entered into a license agreement with a third party in 2010 for the future sale of its technology in Central and South America. Under the license agreement, the third party was required to pay a non-refundable deposit of $100,000 and meet certain performance obligations. The third party failed to meet these performance obligations and the agreement was terminated. The Company recognized $100,000 of license revenue under the terms of the license. The parties are in negotiations to form a new license agreement.  

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company’s principal liquidity from inception ((November 22, 2004) to December 31, 2011, came from the issuance of equity interests and debt financing.  The Company issued 10,421,718 common shares and received for $2,373,058 of proceeds.  The Company received $2,081,000 for issuance of notes payable with interest rates between 6.5 and 15 percent.  During 2011, the Company used approximately $500,000 to fund operations.  During 2012, Fresh Medical Laboratories received proceeds of $889,000 from the issuance of notes payable to related parties.


As discussed above, the Company anticipates incurring significant expenditures during 2012 and to pursue its planned business operations including additional research and development of products and technology.  The Company’s ability to execute on these plans is dependent on its ability to generate additional investment proceeds.  In the event that the Company is unable to raise the necessary funds, it would have to modify its current business plans and may not be able to attract the customers necessary to generate positive income from operations in such case; the business plan would have to be modified to address the funding issues.  

 

As noted, the past operating expenses and cash needs are not indicative of our current operations which require substantially more cash to operate.  At this time, the Company is dependent on outside funding to support its operations and anticipates it will need outside funding for at least the next twelve to twenty four months to support its business model.  If the Company is unable to obtain continued outside funding, its operations would be severely impacted and it may not be possible to remain in business.  Given current operations, traditional debt financing is not likely and the Company will have to continue to rely on equity or debt investments for outside non-banking sources.  

 

The initial focus of the Company was to develop, market, and sell noninvasive diagnostic devices for life threatening diseases. Clinical studies demonstrated the utility of the device to evaluate risk of lung cancer in patients with lung masses suspicious for cancer and potentially improve the accuracy of pre-surgical staging and diagnosis of lung cancer.  

 

The Company now plans to enter the market through direct (U.S.) and indirect channels (international) for the marketing and sale of its ProLung Test and ProLung Test Kit.  The initial step in the U.S. requires the expenditure of an estimated $1.3 to $1.5 million, over a period of eight to twelve months, to achieve U.S. FDA 510(k) de novo regulatory clearance, as well as the completion of the placement of an estimated 22 investigational ProLung Test devices at hospitals.  The completion of this initial step is projected to allow ProLung to achieve the first sale of its product in the U.S.  Once the Company’s U.S. FDA 510 (k) de novo petition is granted, it plans to convert hospitals with investigational placements of its diagnostic to commercial installations selling its ProLung Test.  

 

Finally, the Company plans to complete a scaled commercial rollout, beginning in late 2013, following any revenue in the U.S. and initial international markets.  At this time, the Company plans to build working capital, engage additional distributors, and hire additional sales, marketing, and customer service personnel for a projected $4.0 million.  During this time, ProLung plans to add about 90 new U.S. installations.  Following this final step, the Company expects to be cash flow positive unless new, additional international markets present opportunity for additional investments.

 

The financing required to execute these steps will be approximately $2.0 million over the next twelve months of operation.  

 

The amount of funds needed for compliance with the Company’s obligations under the federal securities laws is approximately $49,500 per year. This includes an estimate of $7,500 for ongoing Edgar and XBRL filing fees, $2,000 for transfer agent fees, and $40,000 for preparation and audit of the company’s financial statements.







Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  The Company believes there have been no significant changes during the years ended December 31, 2011 or 2012.

 

The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the financial statements.  As discussed in Note 1, the preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about the future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual differences could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized by the Company when a binding sales or service agreement exists between the parties, services have been rendered, the price for the services is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured, and the Company has no significant obligations remaining with respect to the arrangement. The Company recorded no licensing income during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for the sale of international technology licenses.  

 

Stock-based Compensation – The Company measures the cost of employee and consulting services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The awards issued are valued using a fair value-based measurement method. The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which an employee or consultant is required to provide services in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. As of December 31, 2012 there were no outstanding stock options, warrants, or other common stock equivalents due to employees or directors.  There were, however, 130,000 unvested common stock awards outstanding at December 31, 2012 that were issued to officers and directors of the Company.


Income Taxes – The Company is a C corporation for income tax purposes and accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company establishes valuation allowances to reduce deferred income tax assets to their realizable values based on whether it is more likely than not that such deferred income tax assets will be realized.


Emerging Growth Company – We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates. 


At December 31, 2011, management had recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets related to temporary differences and operating losses in the current period because there is significant uncertainty as to the realizability of the deferred tax assets. Based on a number of factors, the currently available, objective evidence indicates that it is more-likely-than-not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures


Disclosure Controls and Procedures  


Based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2012, which is the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are not effective, based upon an evaluation of those controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Exchange Act.  This conclusion is based upon the Company’s failure to timely file this annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports, primarily due to lack of financial resources, and the Company’s failure to adjust its financial statements to accurately reflect certain financing transactions.


Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  


This annual report does not include a report on management’s assessment regarding internal controls over financial reporting or an attestation report from the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting   


There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting above.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the remaining $700,000 of outstanding notes payable owed to Mr. Fresh were consolidated into one note, the Principal Loan Agreement, dated November 19, 2010.  Under this agreement, both Mr. Fresh and the Company desired to convert all previous demand notes into one note.  This agreement represents the aggregate principal of the demand notes, and not the aggregate accrued interest (this was consolidated in a separate agreement and is hereinafter discussed).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and the Shareholders

Fresh Medical Laboratories, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fresh Medical Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiary (collectively a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from November 22, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fresh Medical Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiary (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from November 22, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, it incurred losses from operations and had negative cash flows from operating activities. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had negative working capital and a capital deficit. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Organization – Fresh Medical Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on November 22, 2004. The Company’s headquarters are located in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Company’s business is the development and deployment of medical devices and procedures specializing in the immediate, non-invasive evaluation of indeterminate masses seen in CT and radiography. The Company is in the development stage and its activities to date consist of research and development, developing markets for its products, securing strategic alliances, and obtaining financing.


Development Stage – For the period from November 22, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012, the Company has not generated significant revenues from operations and has been developing its products. Therefore, the Company is considered to be in the development stage in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 915-10-05, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.


Business Condition – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s products are not yet fully developed. The Company has generated minimal revenues from operations, has incurred substantial and recurring losses from operations and has used cash in its operating activities. Additionally, the Company had minimal cash, had negative working capital, and had a stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2012. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company successfully developing products that can be sold profitably, and in the near term successfully generating cash through financing activities. Management’s plans include selling equity or debt securities to fund capital requirements and ongoing operations. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.


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


Office Equipment – Office Equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over useful lives of 3 to 5 years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,958 and $0, respectively.


Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized by the Company when a binding sales or service agreement exists between the parties, services have been rendered, the price for the services is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured, and the Company has no significant obligations remaining with respect to the arrangement.


Research and Development – The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.


Stock-based Compensation – The Company measures the cost of employee and consulting services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The awards issued are valued using a fair value-based measurement method. The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which an employee or consultant is required to provide services in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were unvested common stock awards outstanding, issued as compensation to officers and directors of the Company, and common stock warrants issued as compensation to consultants.


Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company establishes valuation allowances to reduce its net deferred income tax assets to their realizable values based on whether it is more likely than not that such net deferred income tax assets will be realized.










Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share – The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company computes diluted loss per share by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were 566,337 and 416,337 outstanding common share equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 3 – Related-Party Notes Payable


In 2008, the Company issued notes payable for $100,000, $75,000 and $25,000 to a relative of an officer of the Company. The original maturity dates of the notes were September 4, 2010, January 12, 2011 and April 16, 2011, respectively, and the notes bear interest at 15% per annum. The notes were issued with a guaranteed origination fee of 20% of the face value of the notes, payable in warrants to purchase common stock. The Company recorded a $40,000 liability for the loan origination fees and an equal amount as a discount on the notes payable and amortized the discount over the term of the notes. During 2009, the Company issued warrants to purchase 20,000 shares, 15,000 shares and 5,000 shares at $0.01 per share in exchange for $20,000, $15,000, and $5,000 of the loan origination liabilities, respectively. The Company recognized a gain of $19,570 on the issuance of the warrants to extinguish the $40,000 loan origination liability based on the difference between the liability and the $20,430 grant-date fair value of the warrants issued.


During 2009, the Company issued the note holder 30,000 warrants to extend the maturity of the notes. The fair value of the warrants issued on extension was calculated to be $14,762, which was recognized as interest expense over the new life of the notes. During 2010 the Company borrowed an additional $65,000 with a January 25, 2011 maturity date at 15% from the same related party and issued 15,000 shares of common stock with a grant date fair value of $9,750. The Company recognized the relative fair value of the stock of $8,478 as a discount on the note payable and recognized the discount over the life of the note. These notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company.


On June 1, 2010, the Company authorized the conversion of $137,305 of notes payable and related accrued interest owed to a member of the board of directors into 274,611 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 54,922 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $0.45 per share through June 1, 2020. The Company recognized the common stock and the warrants issued at their fair values on the date issued, which totaled $138,623. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of the debt of $1,318 during the year ended December 31, 2010.


On November 19, 2010, $700,000 of demand notes payable to a director were consolidated into one note. The note bears interest at 11.07% per annum and is unsecured.

On November 19, 2010, accrued interest on the notes payable to the director of $99,970 was converted into a note payable. The note bears interest at 11.07%, is unsecured and principal and accrued interest are due on May 18, 2012. Accrued interest on the promissory notes payable to the director at December 31, 2011 was $98,747. On May 1, 2012, these notes were renegotiated.  The principle balances of $799,970 and accrued interest of $128,347 were consolidated into one note. This new note matures on April 30, 2015 and bears interest at 11.10%. As of December 31, 2012, the principle balance on the note was $929,536 and accrued interest was $68,974.










On June 30, 2011, the Company consolidated the notes payable and accrued interest payable into two notes with principal balances of $265,000 and $91,932, respectively. As consideration for the extension the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock. The Company recognized the grant date fair value of $25,000 as a discount on the note payable and is amortizing the discount over the term of the note. The Company recognized $16,636 and $8,364 of amortization on the note payable during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The consolidated notes bear interest at 15% per annum and matured on December 31, 2012. Accrued interest on these notes totaled $80,529 and $26,843 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During February through April 2012, the Company issued notes to related parties in the amount of $125,000.  These notes bear interest at 8% and mature in 36 months.  On June 30, 2012, these notes were all renegotiated and changed to convertible notes with accrued interest consolidated into the notes in the amount of $2,827.  The Company has recognized interest expense of $7,982 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Accrued interest on these notes totaled $5,155 as of December 31, 2012.

Note 6Warrants


The Company issues warrants to purchase its common stock for payment of consulting services and as incentives to investors. The fair value of each issuance was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates ranges of assumptions for each input. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of an appropriate industry sector index, comparable companies in the index and other factors. The Company estimates expected life of each warrant based on the midpoint between the dates the warrant vests and the contractual term of the warrant. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury bill rate for the expected life of the related warrant. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience rates.


For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock in connection with the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock for cash consideration of $50,000. The warrants issued had an exercise price of $0.45 per share with a 10 year expiration and immediate vesting. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price on the measurement date $0.50; expected term of 5 years; expected volatility of 97%; and risk-free interest rate of 1.35% to 1.96%. The total fair value of the warrants issued was calculated at $9,320.










For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock in connection with the extension of a note payable. The warrants issued had an exercise price of $0.80 per share with a 10 year expiration and immediate vesting. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price on the measurement date $0.30; expected term of 5 years; expected volatility of 97%; and risk-free interest rate of 0.64%. The total fair value of the warrants issued was calculated at $25,757. A summary of warrant activity for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is presented below:

Note 7Income Taxes


As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $7,332,500. This carry-forward is available to offset future taxable income, if any, and begins to expire in 2024. The utilization of the net operating loss carry-forward is dependent upon the tax laws in effect at the time the net operating loss carry-forward can be utilized and may be impacted by ownership changes as set forth in Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company’s U.S. federal and Utah income tax returns, constituting the returns of the major taxing jurisdictions, are subject to examination by the taxing authorities for all open years as prescribed by applicable statute. No income tax waivers have been executed that would extend the period subject to examination beyond the period prescribed by statute.
