SPO MEDICAL INC AND ITS
SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(U.S.
dollars in thousands (except share data))
NOTE
1 - General
SPO
Medical Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "SPO" or the "Company") was originally
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 1981 under the
name "Applied DNA Systems, Inc." On November 16, 1994, the Company changed its
name to "Nu-Tech Bio-Med, Inc." On December 23, 1998, the Company changed its
name to "United Diagnostic, Inc." Effective April 21, 2005, the Company acquired
(the "Acquisition Transaction") 100% of the outstanding capital stock of SPO
Medical Equipment Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of
Israel ("SPO Ltd."), pursuant to a Capital Stock Exchange Agreement dated as of
February 28, 2005 between the Company, SPO Ltd. and the shareholders of SPO
Ltd., as amended and restated on April 21, 2005 (the "Exchange Agreement"). In
exchange for the outstanding capital stock of SPO Ltd., the Company issued to
the former shareholders of SPO Ltd. a total of 5,769,106 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), representing
approximately 90% of the Common Stock then issued and outstanding after giving
effect to the Acquisition Transaction. As a result of the Acquisition
Transaction, SPO Ltd. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as of
April 21, 2005 and, subsequent to the Acquisition Transaction, the Company
changed its name to "SPO Medical Inc." Upon consummation of the Acquisition
Transaction, the Company effectuated a forward subdivision of the Company's
Common Stock issued and outstanding on a 2.65285:1 basis.
The
merger between UNDI and the SPO Ltd was accounted for as a reverse merger. As
the shareholders of SPO Ltd received the largest ownership interest in the
Company, SPO Ltd was determined to be the "accounting acquirer" in the reverse
acquisition. As a result, the historical financial statements of the Company
were replaced with the historical financial statements of the SPO
Ltd.
The
Company and its subsidiary, SPO Ltd., are collectively referred to as the
"Company".
In
January 2010, the Company restructured its operations to focus primarily on
licensing its core technology for non-medical market applications. The
restructuring included entering into a licensing agreement (the “License”) for
the existing medical PulseOx product line with an entity owned by the Company’s
Chief Technology Officer (hereinafter the “Licensee”). Under the terms of the
License, the Licensee was granted a non-transferable, royalty bearing license,
to distribute the PulseOx product line and derivatives thereof, for specifically
defined medical uses. Following the License, the Company ceased its previous
operations associated with the distribution of the PulseOx line in the medical
field.
NOTE
2 - Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying un-audited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and with Rule 8.03 of
Regulation S-X. These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the
Company as of March 31, 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for
the interim periods indicated in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to interim periods. Accordingly, certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2010.
Certain
prior years' amounts have been reclassified in conformity with current year's
financial statements.
NOTE
3 - Going
Concern
As
reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s operations for
the three months ended March 31, 2010, resulted in a net loss of $202 and the
Company’s balance sheet reflects a net stockholders’ deficit of $1,878. The
Company’s ability to continue operating as a “going concern” is dependent on its
ability to raise sufficient additional working capital. As disclosed in previous
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, management has been
attempting to raise additional cash from current and potential stockholders and
plans to continue these efforts.
SPO MEDICAL INC AND ITS
SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(U.S.
dollars in thousands (except share data))
NOTE
4
– Discontinued
Operations
Following
the entry into the License, the Company ceased its previous operations
associated with the distribution of the PulseOx line in the medical
field. Consequently operating results of this component has been
reported in this financial statements as discontinued operations in accordance
with ASC number 360-10 (formerly SFAS No. 144) "Accounting For The Impairment Or
Disposal Of Long Lived Assets", ("ASC 360-10") and, accordingly, the Company has
reclassified its results of operations for the quarterly period ended March 31,
2009 in accordance with provisions of ASC 360-10.
NOTE
5 - Financial
Expenses
Financial expenses, net, for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $2 and $52, respectively. The
principal components of the financial expenses during the two periods were: (i)
interest in respect of debt instruments issued by the Company between April 2005
and October 2006 in the amounts of $15 and $28, respectively, (ii) income
recoded in accordance with a settlement agreement signed with one of the holders
of a debt instrument in the principal amount of $33 in
2010 and (iii) exchange rate differences and other in the amount of $20 and $24,
respectively.

2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
THE
FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND THE NOTES RELATED TO THOSE STATEMENTS. SOME OF OUR DISCUSSION IS
FORWARD-LOOKING AND INVOLVES RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. FOR INFORMATION REGARDING
RISK FACTORS THAT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, REFER TO
THE RISK FACTORS SECTION OF THE ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 2009.
OVERVIEW
SPO
Medical Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) is engaged in the design and development of
non-invasive pulse oximetry technologies to measure blood oxygen saturation and
heart rate. We have developed and patented proprietary technology that enables
the measurement of heart rate and oxygen saturation levels in the blood, which
is known as Reflectance Pulse Oximetry (RPO). Using RPO, a sensor can be
positioned on various body parts, hence minimizing problems from motion
artifacts and poor perfusion. The unique design features contribute to
substantially lower power requirements and enhance wireless, stand-alone
configurations facilitating expanded commercial possibilities. As of May 2010,
we hold 12 patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office
("USPTO") covering various aspects of our technologies. As further discussed
below, our technologies are currently applied to products that are designed for
use by in the homecare, professional medical care, sports, safety and search and
rescue markets.
In
January 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary SPO Ltd. (“Ltd”) entered
into an Alliance and License Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2009, with an
entity owned and controlled by our Chief Technical Officer (the “Licensee”).
Under the terms of the license agreement, the PulseOx medical product line is
being marketed by the Licensee in the medical field. Under the
License, all worldwide sales, marketing and all existing inventory and
manufacturing of the PulseOx line in the medical field was transferred to the
Licensee in consideration of $200,000 in cash and the Licensee’s (and
its affiliates) agreement to pay to Ltd royalties derived from these products in
agreed upon amounts.
Following
the license agreement, we are primarily engaged in developing and licensing our
technology to third parties for integration with products in the recreational,
military, baby wellness monitoring and sleep monitoring fields. Following our
entry into the license agreement, we have restructured our business and ceased
all operating activities formerly conducted with respect to the manufacture and
marketing of our PulseOx product line to the medical market and we intend to
pursue joint ventures, OEM type arrangements, research and or subcontracting
agreements relating to our oximetry technology with respect to the recreational,
military, baby wellness monitoring and sleep monitoring fields.
We were
originally organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 1981
under the name "Applied DNA Systems, Inc." On November 16, 1994, we changed our
name to "Nu-Tech Bio-Med, Inc." On December 23, 1998, we changed our name to
"United Diagnostic, Inc." Effective April 21, 2005, we acquired 100% of the
outstanding capital stock of SPO Ltd. pursuant to a Capital Stock Exchange
Agreement dated as of February 28, 2005 among the Company, SPO Ltd. and the
shareholders of SPO Ltd., as amended and restated on April 21, 2005 pursuant to
which we issued to the former shareholders of SPO Ltd. a total of 5,769,106
shares of the Company's Common Stock representing approximately 90% of the
Common Stock then issued and outstanding.
We have
generated significant operating losses since inception and we have a limited
operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects can be made. Our
prospects must therefore be evaluated in light of the problems, expenses, delays
and complications associated with a development stage company.
We need
to raise additional funds on an immediate basis in order to meet our on-going
operating requirements and to realize our business plan as well as pay
outstanding loans in the approximate amount of $ 1.1 million, which are
currently due and payable. In response to the deteriorating global economic
conditions that began in 2008, we have taken certain measures in an effort to
reduce operating expenses and conserve our cash resources. Beginning in July
2008, we have significantly curtailed our non-essential product design and
development, and ceased all marketing activities and product manufacturing. We
have terminated certain product development plans. During 2008 we deferred part
of management and employee salaries and benefits. As of March 31, 2010, we had 6
employees working on a full-time basis. If we are unable to raise capital on an
immediate basis, it may be necessary for us to take further cost cutting
measures to reduce our cash burn including laying-off additional personnel. No
assurance can be given that we will be able to raise the needed capital. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including
those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, investments, intangible assets
and income taxes. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We have
identified the accounting policies below as critical to our business operations
and the understanding of our results of operations.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
We
generate revenues principally from the provision of research and development
services. Revenues generated from research and development services are
recognized when such services are performed.
Commencing
January 2010, revenue generation will be principally from OEM and licensing
agreements which will be recognized upon delivery of services through such
agreements.
USE
OF ESTIMATES
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON
OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2009
As noted
above, in January 2010, we restructured our operations to focus primarily on
licensing our core technology for non-medical market application. The
restructuring included entering into a licensing agreement (the “License”) for
the existing medical PulseOx productline with an entity owned by the Company’s
Chief Technology Officer (hereinafter the “Licensee”). Under the terms of the
License, the Licensee was granted a non-transferable, royalty bearing license,
to distribute the PulseOx product line and derivatives thereof, for specifically
defined medical uses. Following the License, the Company ceased its previous
operations associated with the distribution of the PulseOx line in the medical
field entered into the License pursuant to which our PulseOx medical product
line is being marketed by the Licensee in the medical field. Following the
License, we are primarily engaged in developing and licensing our technology to
third parties for integration with products in the recreational, military, baby
wellness monitoring and sleep monitoring fields.
The
cessation of operations was given effect to as of January 1, 2009. Consequently,
operating results of this segment has been reported in this financial statements
as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC number 360-10 (formerly SFAS
No. 144) "Accounting For The Impairment Or Disposal Of Long Lived Assets", ("ASC
360-10"). As a result of this treatment we have reclassified our
results of operations for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009 in
accordance with provisions of ASC 360-10.
REVENUES. Revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 were $21,000 and were generated from research
and development services that we provided. There were no revenues from continued
operations for the period ended March 31, 2009.
COSTS OF REVENUES. Costs of
revenues include all costs related to services provided and consist primarily of
direct material costs, and salaries and related expenses for personnel. Costs of
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $18,000 and were
primarily attributable to salaries and related expenses. There were
no cost of revenues recorded for the corresponding three month period in
2009.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES,
NET. Research and development expenses, net, consist primarily of
expenses incurred in the design, development and testing of our products. These
expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for employees,
contract design and testing services, supplies used and consulting and license
fees paid to third parties. Research and development expenses, net, for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $49,000 and $70,000,
respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses during three
months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period in 2009 is
primarily attributable to the decrease in the number of employees and other
personnel resulting from the restructuring of our business, including the entry
into the License. Research and development expenses, net, for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are net of $69,000 and $125,000, respectively, of
grant awards received from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Government
of Israel (“OCS”), which we recognized and were offset against expenses in the
periods.
.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
EXPENSES . General and administrative expenses primarily consist of
salaries and other related costs for personnel in executive and other
administrative functions. Other significant costs include professional fees for
legal and accounting services. General and administrative expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 were $154,000 compared to $168,000 for the
corresponding period in 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable
to the reduction in number of employees and in professional fees for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the corresponding period in
2009.
FINANCIAL EXPENSES, NET.
Financial expenses, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $2,000
compared to $52,000 for the corresponding period in 2009. The decrease in
financial expenses, net, during the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared
to the corresponding period in 2009 is primarily attributable to income recorded
during the 2009 period in respect of a settlement reached with a holder of a
promissory note in the principal amount of $33,000, the decrease in interest in
respect of debt instruments issued between April 2005 and October 2006 ($15,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $28,000 in the
corresponding period in 2009) and non-cash amortization expenses $5,000 recorded
in the three months ended March 31, 2009.
NET INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS. Following the entry into the License, we ceased all previous
operations associated with the distribution of the PulseOx line in the medical
field Consequently, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 we recorded
net income from discontinued operations consisting
of operating results of the discontinued operations. During the three
months period ended March 31, 2010 we did not record any net income from
discontinued operations as compared to $147,000 during the corresponding period
in 2009.
NET LOSS. For the three months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we had a net loss of $202,000 and $143,000,
respectively. The increase in net loss during 2010 period is primarily
attributable to our downsizing and subsequent restructuring process which
was initiated in January 2010 and designed to enable us to focus primarily on
licensing our core technology for non-medical market applications.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We need
to raise additional funds in order to meet our on-going operating requirements,
pay outstanding loans in the aggregate approximate amount of $1.1 million and to
realize our restructured business plan. In response to the deteriorating global
economic conditions that began in 2008, we have taken certain measures in an
effort to reduce operating expenses and conserve our cash resources. Beginning
in July 2008 we significantly curtailed our non-essential product design and
development, marketing activities and reorganized our product manufacturing and
delivery system to “just-in-time” arrangements. We have terminated certain
product development plans. During 2008 and 2009, we deferred part of management
and employee salaries and benefits. As of May 14, 2010, we had six employees
working on a full-time basis. As noted above, in our restructured operations, we
intend to pursue joint ventures, OEM type arrangement, research and or sub
contractor agreements relating to our oximetry technology with respect to the
recreational, military, baby wellness monitoring and sleep monitoring fields. If
we are unable to raise capital through a financial raise or joint-venture type
of agreement in the near term, it may be necessary for us to take further
measures to reduce our cash burn including laying-off additional personnel. No assurance can be given
that we will be able to raise the needed capital. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additional
equity financings is likely to be dilutive to holders of our Common Stock and
debt financing, if available, may require us to be bound by significant
repayment obligations and covenants that restrict our operations.
As at
March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $271,000
compared to $386,000 at December 31, 2009.
We
generated net negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately
$176,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $122,000
positive cash flows during the corresponding period in 2009. The decreased in
cash flows is primarily attributable to our restructuring process which was
initiated in January 2010 to focus primarily on licensing our core technology
for non-medical market applications In addition, the grants we
received from the OCS decreased from $125,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 2009 to $69,000 during the three months ended March 31,
2010.
In
December 2005 we completed the private placement to certain accredited investors
that we commenced in April 2005 for the issuance of up to $1,544,000 of units of
our securities, with each unit comprised of (i) our 18 month 6% promissory note
(collectively, the "April 2005 Notes") and (ii) three year warrants to purchase
up to such number of shares of our Common Stock as are determined by the
principal amount of the Note purchased by such investor divided by $ 0.85
(collectively the "April 2005 Warrants"). We and the holders of $1,464,000 in
principal amount of the April 2005 Notes subsequently agreed to (a) extend the
maturity term of the April 2005 Notes through March 26, 2008, (b)extend the
exercise period of the April 2005 Warrants from three to five years with an
expiration date of September 26, 2010 and adjust the per share exercise price to
$0.60 and (c) increase the interest rate on the amounts outstanding under the
April 2005 Notes to 8% per annum, effective July 12, 2006. Holders of notes in
the principal amount of $125,000 that agreed to the extension of the maturity
date on the notes , have since exercised their warrants and converted the
interest accrued there on into common stock; and a holder of an April 2005 Note
in the principal amount of $50,000 was repaid. The Amendment also provided that
if we subsequently issue shares of our Common Stock at an effective per share
exercise price less than that of the adjusted per share exercise price of the
April 2005 Warrants during the adjusted exercise period, then the exercise price
thereof is to be reduced to such lower exercise price, except for certain
specified issuances. All of the extended notes, matured on March 26, 2008. On
December 31, 2009, we and the last holder of $30,000 who did not sign the
Amendment agreed to extend the note’s maturity date to December 31, 2011 in
consideration of the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 50,000 shares of our
common stock, exercisable through the third anniversary of issuance, at a per
share exercise price of $0.01.
In
March 2008, we offered to the holders of the April 2005 Notes to apply the
amounts payable to them on the April 2005 Notes, to the exercise price of the
April 2005 Warrants, thereby exercising these warrants, and to convert into
Common Stock the accrued interest on the 2005 Notes at a per share conversion
price of $0.60. Note holders who accepted this offer were issued new warrants
for such number of shares of Common Stock equal to 25% of the number shares
issued to them upon exercise of their existing warrants and conversion of the
interest accrued on the note. The new warrants will be exercisable over three
years at an exercise price of $0.60. As of December 31, 2009, the holders of
approximately $439,000 in principal amount have agreed to apply the principal
amount owed to them to the exercise price of the April 2005 Warrants.
Accordingly, approximately $520,000 in amounts owed under the 2005 Notes have
been converted into equity and, accordingly, an aggregate of 866,528 shares of
our Common Stock have been issued upon exercise of the April 2005 Warrants and
conversion of the interest owing on the April 2005 Notes. Under the terms of the
offer, new warrants for 216,636 share of our Common stock have been issued to
these April 2005 Note holders, exercisable over three years from the date of
issuance. Three note holders of the principal amount of $200,000 have agreed to
extend their loan for a further 24 months and we agreed to pay to them the
interest accrued through the original maturity date of March 26, 2008 in the
aggregate amount of $40,000. Under the terms of the agreement with the extending
note holders, we will issue to the extending holders new warrants for an
aggregate of 50,000 shares of our Common stock, which warrants are exercisable
for three years from issuance and contain the same operative terms, including
exercise price, as the warrants that were originally issued in connection with
the issuance of the April 2005 Notes. We have been informed by the holders of
$300,000 in principal amount of their election to not accept our offer, of which
$250,000 of principal and the accrued interest thereon has been repaid as of
December 31, 2009. On March 15, 2010, we agreed with the holder of an April 2005
Note in the principal amount of $50,000 to extend the note’s maturity date to
September 15, 2010 and, in consideration thereof, we agreed to pay the holder
total amount of $45,000, of which $25,000 was paid as of the date of the filing
of this quarterly report and the rest is to be paid in payments on the amount of
$5,000 each on the 15th day of each month.. On February 5, 2009, we agreed with
one of the note holders to repay $25,000 in principal over a number of payments
during 2009 and to convert accrued interest to 26,500 shares of common
stock
In July
2006, we commenced a private placement of units of our securities, with each
unit comprised of (i) our 8% month promissory note due 12 months from the date
of issuance and (ii) warrants as described below, pursuant to which we raised
$550,000 (the maximum amount that could be raised from this offering). Under the
terms of the offering, the principal and accrued interest is due in one balloon
payment at the end of the twelve month period. Each purchaser of the notes
received warrants, exercisable over a period of two years from the date of
issuance, to purchase 16,250 shares of Common Stock for each $25,000 of
principal loaned, at a per share exercise price equal to the lower of $1.50 or
35% less than any the offering price at an initial public offering of the
Company's Common Stock during the warrant exercise period. During 2007, we
offered to the holders of the notes to convert the principal and accrued
interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a per share conversion
price of $0.90. As of March 29, 2010, the holders of $238,000 of the principal
amount agreed to convert the principal and accrued interest thereon into shares
of our Common Stock. We repaid to note holders the principal amount of $75,000
and the accrued interest thereon. On December 31, 2009 the Company and a holder
of a Loan Notes in the principal amount of $150,000 agreed to extend the note’s
maturity date to December 31, 2011 in consideration of the issuance of warrants
to purchase up to 50,000 shares of the of the Company’s common stock, at a per
share exercise price of $0.01 exercisable for a period of three
years. We already paid the holder $96,000 on account for the amount
owed to him. We have not made the scheduled payment on the principal amount of
$54,000 that remains due and owing under the notes that have not been converted
and, accordingly, under the terms of such notes, we are in
default. As of the May 14, 2010, approximately $211,000 in
respect of the principal and accrued interest on these notes remains
outstanding.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION
OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. We maintain disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief
Executive Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and
procedures" in Rule 13a-14(c).
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with participation of management, including our Chief
Executive Officer, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal
financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our
Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide
reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and
forms
Management
is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number
of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However,
at this time, management has decided that considering the employees involved,
the control procedures in place, and the outsourcing of certain financial
functions, the risks associated with such lack of segregation are low and the
potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties do
not justify the expenses associated with such increases. Management will
periodically reevaluate this situation. If the volume of the business increases
and sufficient capital is secured, it is our intention to increase staffing to
mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general
administrative and financial functions.
A
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues,
if any, within a company have been detected. Such limitations include the fact
that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in
internal control can occur because of human failures, such as simple errors or
mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.
CHANGES
IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. During the quarter ended March
31, 2010, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, these controls.

II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
We first
disclosed in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March
31, 2008, that we had not repaid principal and accrued interest that became
due during the quarterly period covered by such report. We disclosed in
subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q additional amounts that became due in
ensuing quarterly periods and the results of our efforts to resolve these
matters. As of March 31, 2010, there continues to remain outstanding, in the
aggregate, approximately $895,000 of such principal and accrued interest. We
continue to hold discussions with certain of the holders of the outstanding debt
in an attempt to resolve this matter; no assurance can be provided that we will
be successful in concluding any mutually acceptable resolution of this
matter.
