1.  Basis of Presentation

The Company
 
Corporate History

Tristar Wellness Solutions, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated on August 28, 2000 in the state of Nevada under the name “Quadric Acquisitions”. Following our incorporation the Company was not actively engaged in any business activities. On April 25, 2001, the Company was acquired by Zkid Network Company and changed its name to ZKid Network Co. As a result, the Company became engaged in the business of providing media content for children through the use of our proprietary software.

On May 8, 2006, the Company closed a share exchange agreement with Star Metro Group Limited, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result of the share exchange agreement, the Company became engaged in the development, production and sale of a line of biodegradable, single use, food and beverage containers. On March 20, 2006, the Company changed its name from ZKid Network Co. to Eatware Corporation.

On November 27, 2006, the Company changed its name from “Eatware Corporation” to “Star Metro Corp.” On February 26, 2007, the Company changed the name from “Star Metro Corp.” to “Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc.” This name change was effected by merging Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc., a newly incorporated and wholly-owned subsidiary that was created for this purpose, into the Company, with the Company carrying on as the surviving corporation under the name “Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc.”.

In April 2012, the Company changed its name from “Biopack Environmental Solutions, Inc.” to “Tristar Wellness Solutions, Inc.”  This name changes was effected by the agreement between the holders of our preferred stock, which account for the voting control of the company with Rockland Group, LLC (“Rockland”), under which Rockland purchased shares of TriStar Wellness Solutions, Inc. These shares represent approximately 63% of our outstanding votes on all matters brought before the holders of our common stock for approval and, therefore, represented a change of control.

Effective January 2013 all shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding were combined and reclassified on a one-for-one thousand basis. The effect of this reverse stock split has been retroactively applied to all periods presented.

On May 6, 2013, the Company closed the acquisition of HemCon Medical Technologies Inc., an Oregon corporation (“HemCon”), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Stock entered into by and between us and HemCon (the “Agreement”). The Agreement was entered into as part of HemCon’s Fifth Amended Plan of Reorganization in its bankruptcy proceeding (United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Oregon, Case No. 12-32652-elp11) and was approved by the Court as part of HemCon’s approved Plan of Reorganization. Under the Agreement, the Company purchased 100 shares of HemCon’s common stock, representing 100% of HemCon’s then-outstanding voting securities, in exchange for $3.1 million in cash (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was paid to the Court and the Trustee of the bankruptcy proceeding to be distributed to HemCon’s creditors in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization.

Prior to closing the acquisition of HemCon the Company borrowed money from several different parties, primarily the following:

1)
A Promissory Note with DayStar Funding, LP, a Texas limited partnership and a party controlled by Frederick A. Voight one of our officers and directors, in the principal amount of $2,950.  The note has an interest rate of 1.5% per month and is due on or before November 6, 2013.  Additionally, a loan fee of 2% of the principal amount is due and payable by us to lender on or before the maturity date.  In connection with this promissory note, we issued DayStar Funding, LP, warrants to purchase 1,770,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price $2.74 per share, which was the fair market value of our common stock on the date of issuance.

2)
A Promissory Note with the Lawrence K. Ingber Trust, dated June 14, 1980, as amended and restated March 6, 2006, in the principal amount of $100.  The note has an interest rate of 1.5% per month, simple interest, and is due on or before November 6, 2013.  In connection with this promissory note, we issued the Lawrence K. Ingber Trust warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price $2.74 per share, which was the fair market value of our common stock on the date of issuance.

3)
A Promissory Note with James Linderman, the father of one of our officers and directors, in the principal amount of $100.  The note has an interest rate of 1.5% per month, simple interest, and is due on or before August 6, 2013.  In connection with this promissory note, we issued Mr. James Linderman warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price $2.74 per share, which was the fair market value of our common stock on the date of issuance.

4)
A Promissory Note with James Barickman, one of our officers and directors, in the principal amount of $50.  The note has an interest rate of 1.5% per month, simple interest, and is due on or before November 6, 2013.  In connection with this promissory note, we issued Mr. James Barickman warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price $2.74 per share, which was the fair market value of our common stock on the date of issuance.

5)
A Promissory Note with John Linderman, one of our officers and directors, in the principal amount of $50.  The note has an interest rate of 1.5% per month, simple interest, and is due on or before November 6, 2013.  In connection with this promissory note, we issued Mr. John Linderman warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price $2.74 per share, which was the fair market value of our common stock on the date of issuance.

6)
A Loan Agreement with an unaffiliated third party for a loan of up to $750 payable in two tranches, $400 was paid in connection with the closing of the acquisition of HemCon, and $350,000 payable within 20 days after the closing of the acquisition of HemCon.  The loan has an interest rate of 10% per annum and is due on or before November 6, 2013.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods are reflected herein. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts that are outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due and the customer's current ability to pay its obligation to the Company. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1 and $0, at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Product Sales Revenue
 
The Company recognizes product sales revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, prices are fixed and determinable, the product is shipped or delivered, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, and collection is reasonably assured. Certain of its product sales are made to distributors. The Company's distributor arrangements do not provide distributors with product return rights or pricing adjustments. The Company recognizes product sales to distributors on a sell-in basis, when the product is delivered. Under the terms of its distributor arrangements, substantially all of its product sales are delivered by the Company to the end customer.
 
Deferred Revenue
 
The Company defers nonrefundable up-front payments received from distributors. These fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the related contract. 

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates average cost) or market.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes based on the estimated useful lives of the various assets ranging from three to ten years. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to current earnings. Upon disposal of assets, the costs of assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Gains or losses are reflected in current earnings.

Intangible assets
 
Intangible assets consist of patents, customer lists, non-compete arrangements and a trade name. Patents, customer lists, non-compete arrangements and a trade name acquired in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting are recorded at fair value net of accumulated amortization since the acquisition date. Amortization is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:
 
   
Useful Lives
 
Patents
    12  
Customer lists
    13  
Non-compete arrangements
    4  
Trade name
    20  

The Company reviews its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of finite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a finite-lived intangible asset is measured by a comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is determined based on discounted cash flows.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets under ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets and requires an evaluation of impairment by assessing qualitative factors, and if necessary, applying a fair-value based test. The goodwill impairment test requires qualitative analysis to determine whether is it more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, including goodwill. An indication of impairment through analysis of these qualitative factors initiates a two-step process, which requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting units based on discounted cash flow models using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing the estimated fair values with the carrying values of the Company’s reporting units which include the goodwill. If the estimated fair values are less than the carrying values, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an “implied fair value” of goodwill. The determination of the Company’s “implied fair value” requires the Company to allocate the estimated fair value to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the “implied fair value” of goodwill, which is compared to the corresponding carrying value.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the Company, estimation of equipment use, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sales

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during the period resulting from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The primary difference between net income and comprehensive income for HemCon results from foreign currency translation adjustments. Accumulated other comprehensive loss was $84 for the period ended September 30, 2013 and $0 at December 31, 2012. The financial position of foreign subsidiaries is translated using the exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, while income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. The net gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period incurred and were $83 and $84 during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively and $0 during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Concentration of Source of Materials

The Company uses a raw material that must meet specific quality standards in its production process, which is currently purchased from one vendor. The Company mitigates the risk to its production process through purchasing quantities sufficient to meet its production needs in the near term and by having identified alternative sources of supply of an equivalent standard should they become necessary.

Recently Issued Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting. We have reviewed the recently issued pronouncements and concluded that there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3.  Liquidity and Going Concern
 
The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. In addition, as of September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16.4 million, and had incurred a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $6.5 million and had negative working capital of $5.1 million. Funding has been provided by related parties as well as new investors committed to make it possible to maintain, expand, and ensure the advancement of the TriStar Wellness products.

The consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 states that because the Company has suffered recurring operating losses from operations, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A “going concern” opinion indicates that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In February, 2013, the Company closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with NorthStar Consumer Products, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“NCP”), and John Linderman and James Barickman, individuals (the “Shareholders”), under which the Company exercised an option to purchase a brand of skincare and other products specifically targeted for pregnant women (the Beaute de Maman product line), in addition to an over-the-counter itch suppression formula (together, the “Business”). Previously, the Company entered into to that certain License and Asset Purchase Option Agreement dated June 25, 2012 with NCP (the “License Agreement”), under with the Company licensed the Business from NCP and had the option to purchase the Business from NCP upon certain conditions being satisfied. As set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement those conditions were either satisfied or renegotiated to the satisfaction of the parties and the Company exercised an option, and purchased, the Business from NCP. As consideration for the purchase of the Business the Company agreed to issue NCP, or its assignees, Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand (750,000) shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The fair value of the consideration given and assets received was $2 and such fair value was immediately impaired during the first quarter of 2013. There was no acquired assets other than intangible assets and therefore no purchase price is being presented. The fair values for acquired intangible assets of NCP were determined by the Company using a valuation performed by an independent valuation specialist.

HemCon

On May 6, 2013, the Company closed the acquisition of HemCon, an Oregon corporation (“HemCon”), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Stock entered into by and between us and HemCon (the “Agreement”).

Under the Agreement, the Company purchased 100 shares of HemCon’s common stock, representing 100% of HemCon’s then-outstanding voting securities, in exchange for approximately $3.1 million (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was paid to the Court and the Trustee of the bankruptcy proceeding to be distributed to HemCon’s creditors in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization.
 
The acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and the Company valued all assets and liabilities acquired at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition.

Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock. The warrants were valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date granted and amounted to $19,648. The fair value of the 25,000 warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate - 0.85%, volatility - 85%, expected term - 5 years, expected dividend n/a.
 
10.  Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 provides guidance on how to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The requirement to measure an asset as liability at fair value is determined under the U.S. GAAP.

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are considered to be financial instruments and are required to be measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Certain of these financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term debt and deferred revenue are measured at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Derivative liabilities are measured at fair value.

The Company measures fair value basis based on the following key objectives:
 
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date;
 
 
A three-level hierarchy (“Valuation Hierarchy”) which prioritizes the use of observable pricing data (Level 1 and Level 2 inputs as defined below) over unobservable pricing data (Level 3 inputs as defined below) is used in measuring value; and
 
 
The Company’s creditworthiness is considered when measuring the fair value of liabilities.

The valuation hierarchy used in measuring fair value is defined as follows:
 
 
Level 1 inputs are observed inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments inactive markets;
 
 
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments inactive markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
 
 
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 requires significant management judgment or estimation.
 
All items measures at fair value are required to be classified and disclosed as a Level 1, 2 or 3 asset or liability based on the inputs used to measure for value of an asset or liability in its entirety. An asset or liability classified as Level 1 is measured by quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. An asset or liability classified as Level 2 is measured using significant observable inputs and an asset or liability classified as Level 3 is measured using significant unobservable inputs. Refer to Note 5 Fair Value Disclosure for the fair value classification table.
 
The following table represents our assets and liabilities by level measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2013:

11.  Discontinued Operations
 
On November 3, 2011, the People’s Court of Guandong Jiangmen Pengjiang District held a hearing relating to the Company’s landlord’s claim for unpaid rent for its factory plus penalty interest and other claims. The landlord had made a claim for payment of overdue rent in the amount of RMB 1,236,000, penalty interest in the amount of RMB 1,067,930 and a claim for potential loss of income in the amount of RMB 618,000, for a total amount claimed of RMB 2,921,930 (approximately $451). At the hearing, the Court ruled that after two unsuccessful attempts to auction the factory’s assets at the minimum level set by the Court appointed independent valuation company’s fair market assessment price, the Court set the reference value at RMB 3,613,139.20 (approximately $569) and transferred all the assets to the landlord. The landlord is legally responsible for settling any claims made by creditors, and the case has been closed.

On April 27, 2012, the Company entered into a Subsidiary Acquisition Option Agreement (“Subsidiary Option Agreement”) with Xinghui Ltd., a Chinese entity (“Purchaser“), under which the Company may, in our sole discretion, sell the Subsidiary Shares to Purchaser.

On July 11, 2012, the Company exercised its rights under the Subsidiary Option Agreement by sending a signed Notice of Exercise to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Subsidiary Acquisition Agreement. The Company also sent a copy of the Notice of Exercise directly to the Purchaser as well. As a result of the Company exercising its rights under the Subsidiary Option Agreement, the Company no longer owned the Subsidiary Shares or the BPAC Subsidiaries, including any of their assets or liabilities. The Company recorded this transaction as a recapitalization and according recorded such assets and liabilities as well accumulated other comprehensive income as a $1,899 adjustment to additional paid in capital.
  
The liabilities assumed by the Purchaser included, but were not be limited to, Purchaser assuming and agreeing to fully perform and satisfy and be liable for all of the liabilities and obligations of the Company’s except for a $400 principal amount convertible note that was owed to Trilane Limited as of April 27, 2012.

These statements reflect only our current expectations. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy and actual results may differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which are unforeseen, including, among others, the risks we face as described in this filing.

Overview

We were incorporated on August 28, 2000 in the state of Nevada under the name “Quadric Acquisitions”. Following our incorporation we were not actively engaged in any business activities.  On April 25, 2001, we were acquired by Zkid Network Company and changed our name to ZKid Network Co.  As a result, we became engaged in the business of providing media content for children through the use of our proprietary software.  On February 8, 2006, we announced that we would be unable to raise the necessary funds to continue with our then-existing business model and plan. Accordingly, we decided to seek an active company to acquire.

On May 8, 2006, we closed a share exchange agreement with Star Metro Group Limited and became engaged in the development, production and sale of a line of biodegradable, single use, food and beverage containers.  On March 20, 2006, we changed our name from ZKid Network Co. to Eatware Corporation.  On November 27, 2006, we changed our name from “Eatware Corporation” to “Star Metro Corp.”  On February 26, 2007, we changed our name from “Star Metro Corp.” to “Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc.” This name change was effected by merging Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc., our newly incorporated and wholly-owned subsidiary that was created for this purpose, into our company, with our company carrying on as the surviving corporation under the name “Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc.”.

On March 27, 2007, we completed a share exchange with the shareholders of Roots Biopack Group Limited, a company formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Under the terms of the share exchange agreement we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Roots Biopack Group and we were in the business of developing, manufacturing, distributing and marketing bio-degradable food containers and disposable industrial packaging for consumer products.

HemCon, founded in 2001, is a diversified life sciences company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative wound care/infection control medical devices. These products target the emergency medical, surgical, dental, military and overthecounter (OTC), markets in the US and globally.  HemCon’s advanced wound care and infection control products are designed to quickly stop moderate to severe hemorrhaging in OTC, surgery, trauma, battlefield injuries, and surgical wounds. The company’s wound care products are presently either chitosan-based or oxidized cellulose.  Chitosan has long been recognized as a robust hemostat and provides natural antibacterial properties.  Historically chitosan has been difficult to reliably incorporate into manufactured wound care products.  HemCon has overcome these historical limitations and has been granted patents for its proprietary lyophilized and gauze-based manufacturing processes that allow for consistent and reliable commercial grade wound care and infection control products.  HemCon’s original medical device product, the HemCon Bandage, was developed in partnership with the U.S. Army.  Between 2003 and 2008, the bandage was the standard issue hemorrhage control bandage for all U.S. Army soldiers and is credited with saving hundreds of lives on the battlefield.  Under the Reorganization Plan, HemCon kept its wound care/infection control medical devices business and all assets related thereto.  The other segment of its operations, called the “LyP Product" which related to HemCon’s proprietary lyophilized human plasma and universal lyophilized plasma technology were spun out into a newly formed corporation and are not part of our acquisition of HemCon.

As a result of the above transactions, as of September 30, 2013, we were a company involved in developing, manufacturing and marketing HemCon’s innovative wound care/infection control medical devices, as well as, developing, marketing and selling, NCP’s Beaute de Maman™ product line, which is a line of skincare and other products specifically targeted for pregnant women.

Operating Loss

We had an operating loss of approximately $1,513,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to an operating loss of approximately $363,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Revenue

Our revenue from the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 2,574,000 compared to $4,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Our revenue was primarily derived from the operations of our subsidiary, HemCon.  Revenue from HemCon amounted to approximately $2,468,000 for May through September 2013, the time we owned Hemcon during the ninth months ended September 30, 2013.  This revenue was the result of sales of bleeding and wound management products for surgical, health care, consumer and military markets.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $3,260,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $379,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  This increase was primarily due to the inclusion in 2013 of expenses related to our HemCon subsidiary.  Our primary general and administrative expenses were $800,000 from compensation to related parties, $1,453,000 from professional fees related to TriStar such as audit, marketing and legal fees, and $856,000 related to salaries, occupancy cost, utilities etc. related to Hemcon.

Research and Development

Our expenses related to research and development were $1,934,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase was primarily due to the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the manufacturing, marketing and distribution license agreement with Argentum Medical, LLC in March 2013, and $412,000 attributable to the research and development conducted by HemCon.  We recorded 375,000 non-contingent warrants during the 1st quarter of 2013 with a fair value of $821,026. The fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate - 0.85%, volatility - 85%, expected term - 5 years, expected dividend n/a. The warrants were expensed due to the uncertainty of the level of future cash flows.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had $33,000 in amortization of intangible assets primary related to patents, non-compete agreements and customer lists acquired in the HemCon acquisition.  We did not have any comparable expense in the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $1,897,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 interest expense primarily relates to the amortization of debt discount on promissory notes and warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of HemCon.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Introduction

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows.  Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2013 was $315,000.  With a monthly cash burn rate of approximately we have significant short term cash needs.  These needs are being satisfied through proceeds from the sales of our securities and the issuance of convertible notes.  We currently do not believe we will be able to satisfy our cash needs from our revenues for some time.

Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of September 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012, respectively, are as follows:

Our total assets increased by $5,962,000 as of September 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012. The increase in total assets was primarily attributed to the increases in our property and equipment, inventory, current assets held for sale and accounts receivable primarily related to HemCon.

Our current liabilities increased by $8,136,000, as of September 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012.  A large portion of this increase was due to significant increases in our short terms notes, our accounts payable and accrued expenses, and our accounts payable and accrued expenses due to related parties, most of which relate to HemCon.

In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources.  There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.

Cash Requirements

We had cash available as of September 30, 2013 of $315,000 and $11,000 as of December 31, 2012.  We have significant short term cash needs.  These needs are being satisfied through proceeds from the sales of our securities and the issuance of convertible notes.  We currently do not believe we will be able to satisfy our cash needs from our revenues for some time.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operations

We had net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of ($1,446,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to ($207,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  For the period in 2013, the net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of our net loss of $6,547,000, adjusted primarily by the issuance of warrants for research and development of $921,000, issuance of warrants for services of $688,000, amortization of debt discount of $1,561,000, offset by changes in working capital related to accounts payable and accrued expenses – related party of $1,431,000, inventory of $256,000, and accounts payable and accruals of $352,000, accounts receivable ($158,000) and deferred revenue of ($95,000), and other non-current assets of ($17,000).

Investments

We had net cash used in investing activities of $3,139,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the net cash provided by investing activities all related to the acquisition of HemCon.

Financing

Our net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $4,973,000, compared to $209,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  For the period in 2013, our financing activities consisted of $3,810,000 from proceeds from issuance of short terms notes – related party, $50,000 from proceeds from issuance of convertible notes – related party, $250,000 from issuance of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, $536,000 from proceeds from issuances of short term notes, and $327,000 from proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4  Controls and Procedures

(a)           Evaluation of Disclosure Controls Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-l5(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2013, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was completed, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to satisfy the objectives for which they are intended.

(b)           Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-l5(f) of the Securities Exchange Act). Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that assessment, management believes that, as of September 30, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective based on the COSO criteria, due to the following material weaknesses listed below.
 
 
37

 

Insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel. We internally performed all aspects of our financial reporting process, including, but not limited to, access to the underlying accounting records and systems, the ability to post and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements. Due to the fact these duties were performed by limited personnel, a lack of review was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC.

Insufficient corporate governance policies. Our corporate governance activities and processes are not always formally documented.

These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

When we are financially able, we intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies and we intend to consider the results of our remediation efforts and related testing as part of our next assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

(c)           Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
(d)           Officer’s Certifications

Appearing as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “Certifications” of our Chief Executive and Financial Officer. The Certifications are required pursuant to Sections 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This section of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains information concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications. This information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
