NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2014

(Unaudited) 

 

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows.

 

General

 

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2014. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2013 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2014.

 

Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Iris Biotechnologies Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) was incorporated on February 16, 1999 under the laws of the State of California. The Company efforts are principally devoted to developing solutions for the detection and monitoring of monogenic and complex genomic diseases. The Company has not generated any revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.

 

On April 9, 2014, the Company formed Iris Wellness Labs, Inc, a Delaware Corporation, for the purpose of developing business lines. As of June 30, 2014, there were no significant assets or liabilities in Iris Wellness Labs, Inc, or operations since its formation.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

8
 

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, plant and equipment (“ASC 360-10”). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and relate primarily to stock based compensation basis differences and Net Operating Losses.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company has provided a 100% valuation against the deferred tax benefits.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

The Company computes earnings per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, common stock equivalents derived from shares issuable on conversion of convertible notes and the exercise of options and warrants are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because they would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per share. Fully diluted shares outstanding were 16,268,027 and 14,612,348 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively; and 14,203,058 and 14,170,473 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company does not have accounts receivable at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

9
 

 

Research and Development

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenditures of $50,220 and $64,446 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively; and $7,118 and $11,760 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Dependency of Key Management

 

Since inception on February 16, 1999 through June 30, 2014, we have sustained cumulative net losses of $10,198,050. Our losses have resulted primarily from research and development expenses, patent costs and legal and accounting expenses. From inception through June 30, 2014, we have not generated any revenue from operations. We expect to incur additional losses to perform further research and development activities. We have sufficient cash to operate for one year at the current burn rate. In order to accelerate our product introduction and to grow dynamically, we will need to raise additional funds. We do not currently have any commercial products. With additional funding, we expect to launch our Nano-biochip products in the future.

 

To date the Company has generated no revenues, has incurred expenses, has used $307,289 in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $520,844 during the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the period from February 16, 1999 (date of inception) through June 30, 2014, the Company has accumulated losses of $10,176,550. Consequently, its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.

 

The future success or failure of the Company is dependent primarily upon the continued efforts of Simon Chin, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the majority shareholder who has historically provided financial support and raised funding from third party sources. As in the past, Mr. Chin has committed to provide all necessary funding needed to meet the Company’s financial obligations through the next twelve months and beyond.

  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed. There were no items required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the unaudited condensed financial statement as of June 30, 2014.

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations nor cash flows.

10
 

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the consolidated financial statements for granted, modified, or settled stock options. Compensation expense recognized included the estimated expense for stock options granted on and subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718-10, and the estimated expense for the portion vesting in the period for options granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of ASC 718-10. Results for prior periods have not been restated, as provided for under the modified-prospective method.

 

ASC 718-10 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company’s pro forma information required under ASC 718- 10 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

 

Upon adoption of ASC 718-10, the Company is using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for share-based awards granted beginning in fiscal 2006, which was also previously used for the Company’s pro forma information required under ASC 718-10 The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and certain other market variables such as the risk free interest rate.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company granted no employee stock options. The fair values of issued vesting options were $48,046 and $70,270 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively; and $23,275 and $43,220 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendments in this ASU remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915, Development Stage Entities, from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™.


A development stage entity is one that devotes substantially all of its efforts to establishing a new business and for which: (a) planned principal operations have not commenced; or (b) planned principal operations have commenced, but have produced no significant revenue. For example, many start-ups or even long-lived organizations that have not yet begun their principal operations or do not have significant revenue would be identified as development stage entities.

For public business entities, the presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The revised consolidation standards are effective one year later, in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

  

On August 20, 2012, the Company filed a motion to allow late filing of a $100 million malpractice claim against Heller Ehrman LLP, discovered after claims bar date for not forwarding United State Patent and Trademark Office correspondence to the Company resulting in the abandonment of a critical patent, in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. On November 15, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court disallowed the claim. On December 5, 2012, the Company filed an appeal in the United District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division seeking to have its $100 million malpractice claim against Heller Ehrman LLP reinstated.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The information in this report contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “could,” “possibly,” “probably,” anticipates,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or other variations or similar words. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.

 

Overview

 

Since inception on February 16, 1999 through June 30, 2014, we have sustained cumulative net losses of $10,198,050. Our losses have resulted primarily from research and development expenses, patent costs and legal and accounting expenses. From inception through June 30, 2014, we have not generated any revenue from operations. We expect to incur additional losses to perform further research and development activities. We have sufficient cash to operate for one year at the current burn rate. In order to accelerate our product introduction and to grow dynamically, we will need to raise additional funds. We do not currently have any commercial products. With additional funding, we expect to launch our Nano-biochip products in the future.

 

We have been focused on designing and building an advanced Nano-Biochip making system, streamlining the automated patient sample processing protocols and product tracking system, and interacting with physicians and patients to demonstrate the usefulness of our BioWindows™ medical informatics system. We have an extensive pipeline of disease chips including a BreastCancerChip™, ColonCancerChip™, NeuroChip™, CardioChip™, ComprehensiveCancerChip™, and MetabolicChip™.

 

We have been in discussions with various entities in regard to launching our products in the US and abroad. We have also had discussions with equipment financing sources with respect to building or buying additional equipment, which would allow us to expand our manufacturing capacity. Under the US Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project (QTDP) Program, the maximum amount of a grant application was $5 million, but the maximum amount that the government actually gave for any grant was $245,000. In 2011, we were awarded the bulk of $245,000 in recognition of our patented Nano-Biochip™ and BioWindows™ Medical Informatics System for optimizing personalized and targeted medical treatment.

 

The selection criteria includes a company’s ability to diagnose diseases or conditions; to determine molecular factors related to diseases or conditions by developing molecular diagnostic guided therapeutic decisions; or to develop a product, process, or technology to further the delivery or administration of therapeutics. The award was given to projects that show reasonable potential to result in new therapies to treat areas of unmet medical needs or to prevent, detect or treat chronic or acute diseases and conditions; to reduce long-term health care costs in the U.S.; or to significantly advance the goal of curing cancer within the next 30 years.

17
 

 

There are some risks with respect to clinical testing, regulatory approval and review cycles and uncertainty of the costs. Net positive cash inflows from any products developed may take several years to achieve. Management plans to continue financing operations with a combination of equity issuances and debt arrangements. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate our research or development programs, or cease operations.

 

History

 

We were incorporated in the State of California on February 16, 1999 and planned to sell theranostic (choosing therapy based upon personalized diagnostic results) products and services in the medical field. In an effort to develop that business, we set up operations in three locations in California - Headquarters in Santa Clara (near Stanford University), Laboratory in San Leandro (near UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco), and Business Development in Davis (near UC Davis).

 

Beginning on March 11, 1999, Simon Chin, MBA, our founder, President and CEO, Secretary and principal shareholder, entered into Common Stock Purchase Agreements with various companies, investment groups and private individuals. On March 1, 2003, Daniel Farnum, M.D., an owner of Humboldt Orthopedics and a key shareholder, and Grace Osborne, MBA, President of GCO Recruiting, joined Mr. Chin on our board of directors. On April 9, 2003, the board approved a 2 for 1 stock split, changed the authorized shares of common stock from 10 million to 20 million, and the authorized preferred stock remained at 5 million shares.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We are a life science company focused on the development and commercialization of Nano-Biochips™ and an artificial intelligence system to assist in establishing the foundation for personalized medicine, which will initially be utilized in the treatment of breast cancer. The Nano-Biochips™ have the ability to quickly and very accurately analyze the activity of multiple genes involved in a specific disease. Our manufacturing system has the capability to produce a variety of chips with a choice of mRNA, microRNA, protein, or other biomarker probes for the diagnosis and prognosis of many diseases. Although we may market our products as CLIA laboratory tests, we are designing them to be approved by the FDA, which can then be used in any certified laboratory. Starting at the point of a breast biopsy diagnosis of cancer, the Nano-Biochip and informatics program are designed to enable a treating physician to quickly prescribe a personalized treatment regimen that will have the greatest probability of success for each patient’s particular type of cancer. Our product platform is expected to lead to more effective diagnosis and treatment not only for patients with breast cancer, but also for those with neurological disorders, heart disease, diabetes and other gene-related metabolic problems.

 

Product Research and Development

 

We anticipate spending, in order to accelerate our growth, which is contingent upon raising additional funds, at least $2,000,000 for product research and development activities related to our anticipated product launches during the next twelve months.

 

Acquisition of Plant and Equipment and Other Assets

 

We do not anticipate the sale of any material property, plant or equipment during the next 12 months. We do anticipate the acquisition of some material property, plant or equipment during the next 12 months, to accelerate our growth to fulfill the unmet needs of a large, growing market.

18
 

Number of Employees

 

From our inception through June 30, 2014, we have principally relied on the services of outside consultants and part-time employees for services. We currently have 7 full-time and part-time employees and 6 full-time and part-time consultants. In order for us to attract and retain quality personnel, we anticipate we will have to offer competitive salaries to future employees. We anticipate that it may become desirable to add additional full and or part time employees to discharge certain critical functions during the next 12 months. This projected increase in personnel is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues and obtain sources of financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required or generating revenues sufficient to fund the projected increase in the number of employees. As we continue to expand, we will incur additional cost for personnel.

 

Results of Operations

 

We are in the development stage and to date have not generated revenues. The risks specifically discussed are not the only factors that could affect future performance and results. In addition to the discussion in this prospectus concerning us, our business and our operations contain forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in such forward-looking statements. We do not have a policy of updating or revising forward-looking statements and thus it should not be assumed that silence by our Management over time means that actual events or results are occurring as estimated in the forward-looking statements herein.

 

We have yet to earn revenues from operations. We may experience fluctuations in operating results in future periods due to a variety of factors, including our ability to obtain additional financing in a timely manner and on terms favorable to us, our ability to successfully develop our business model, the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure and the implementation of marketing programs, key agreements, and strategic alliances, and general economic conditions specific to our industry.

 

As a result of limited capital resources and no revenues from operations since inception, we have relied on the issuance of equity securities to employees and non-employees in exchange for services. Our management enters into equity compensation agreements with non-employees if it is in our best interest under terms and conditions consistent with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 718-10 Compensation (ASC 718-10). In order to conserve our limited operating capital resources, we anticipate continuing to compensate non-employees with equity for services during the next twelve months. This policy may have a material effect on our results of operations during the next twelve months.

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

 

Revenues

 

We have generated no operating revenues from operations since our inception. On April 9, 2014, we formed a subsidiary company called Iris Wellness Labs, Inc. for the purpose of commercializing our products and services worldwide. We believe we will begin earning revenues from operations in 2014 from actual operations as we transition to that of an active growth stage company.

 

Costs and Expenses

 

From our inception through June 30, 2014, we have not generated any revenues and have incurred cumulative losses of $10,198,050. In addition, a significant part of the overall remaining costs are associated principally with equity-based compensation to employees and consultants, research and development costs and professional services rendered.

19
 

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $176,237 from $100,327 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $276,564 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. SG&A expenses consisted of accounting, legal, consulting, public relations, startup and organizational expenses. SG&A expenses also included non-cash charges from the issuance of stock, warrants and stock options in the amounts of $104,399 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $44,004 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a period to period increase of $60,395. The remaining SG&A expenses, which required cash amounted to $172,165 and $56,323 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred additional personnel and service provider costs as compared to the same period last year. We used stock in lieu of cash to conserve our cash resources.

 

Research and development costs increased from $7,118 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $50,220 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

As a result of the above-mentioned expenses, net losses increased from $109,975 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to a net loss of $328,383 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Costs and Expenses

 

From our inception through June 30, 2014, we have not generated any revenues and have incurred cumulative losses of $10,198,050. In addition, a significant part of the overall remaining costs are associated principally with equity-based compensation to employees and consultants, research and development costs and professional services rendered.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $256,555 from $196,372 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $452,927 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. SG&A expenses consisted of accounting, legal, consulting, public relations, startup and organizational expenses. SG&A expenses also included non-cash charges from the issuance of stock, warrants and stock options in the amounts of $142,478 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $84,336 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a period to period increase of $103,061. The remaining SG&A expenses, which required cash amounted to $310,449 and $112,036 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We used stock in lieu of cash to conserve our cash resources.

 

Research and development costs increased from $11,760 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $64,446 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

As a result of the above-mentioned expenses, net losses increased from $213,095 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to a net loss of $520,844 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2014, we had working capital of $138,870 as compared to working capital deficit of $(172,256) as of December 31, 2013. Our cash position was $379,952 as of June 30, 2014 compared to $18,988 as of December 31, 2013. From six months ended June 30, 2014 we have incurred an operating cash flow deficit of $307,289, which has been principally financed through the private placement of our common stock, the exercise of stock options and warrants.

20
 

 

We expect to continue to incur additional losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the next two years.

 

Our available working capital and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including progress of our research and development programs, our progress in and the cost of pre-clinical and clinical testing, the timing and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals, the cost of filing and prosecuting patent claims and other intellectual property rights, completing technological and market developments, current and future licensing relationships, the status of our competitors, and our ability to establish collaborative arrangements with other organizations .

 

Our continued operations will depend on whether we are able to raise additional funds through various potential sources, such as equity and debt financing, collaborative and licensing agreements, strategic alliances, and our ability to realize the full potential of our technology in development. Such additional funds may not become available on acceptable terms, if at all, and there can be no assurance that any additional funding that we do obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs in the long term. Through June 30, 2014, virtually all of our financing has been through private placements of common stock, convertible notes and warrants. We intend to continue to fund operations from cash on-hand and through the similar sources of capital previously described for the foreseeable future. We can give no assurances that any additional capital that we are able to obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs. We believe that we will continue to incur net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the next two years. Based on the resources available to us, we have sufficient cash to operate for one year at the current burn rate with our CEO’s agreement to continue fund our operations. We may need additional financing thereafter.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Inflation

 

It is our opinion that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The following accounting policies are critical in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results:

 

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for our stock options and warrants using the fair value method promulgated by Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Therefore, our results include non-cash compensation expense as a result of the issuance of stock options and warrants and we expect to record additional non-cash compensation expense in the future.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We evaluated the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures to determine whether they are effective in ensuring that we disclose required information in a timely manner and in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.  The executive who serves as our President and Chief Financial Officer has participated in such evaluation.  Management concluded, based on such review, that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  The ineffectiveness of these disclosure controls is due to the matters described below in "Internal Control over Financial Reporting."

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our President and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that such controls and procedures are not effective at the "reasonable assurance" level.  The ineffectiveness of these disclosure controls is due to the matters described below in "Internal Control over Financial Reporting."

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Management assessed the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, using the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, our management concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, the internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. The reportable conditions and material weakness relate to a limited segregation of duties at the Company. Segregation of duties within our company is limited due to the small number of employees that are assigned to positions that involve the processing of financial information. Specifically, certain key financial accounting and reporting personnel had an expansive scope of duties that allowed for the creation, review, approval and processing of financial data without independent review and authorization for preparation of schedules and resulting consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We did not maintain a sufficient depth of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the selection and application of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles commensurate with financial reporting requirements. Accordingly, we place undue reliance on the finance team at corporate headquarters, specifically the executive who is our President and Chief Financial Officer along with outside accounting consulting. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. This material weakness could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

 

Going forward, management anticipates that additional staff will be necessary to mitigate these weaknesses, as well as to implement other planned improvements.  Additional staff will enable us to document and apply transactional and periodic controls procedures, permit a better review and approval process and improve quality of financial reporting.  However, the potential addition of new staff is contingent on obtaining additional financing, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.

 

 Changes in Internal Control Over financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we issued 126,500 shares of common stock to consultants for services rendered and satisfaction of certain accrued expenses in the amount of $14,890. In connection with the issuance of such shares, we relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
