Note 2 - Going Concern
 
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  Since its formation, the Company has generated minimal sales volumes and has incurred a cumulative net loss of ($21,103,249).  The minimal sales volumes to date and recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Continuation of the Company is dependent on achieving sufficiently profitable operations and obtaining additional financing.
 
From 2007 through 2010, the Company raised approximately $4.1 million through multiple private placement offerings at varying prices.  The Company yielded $1.67 million from the exercise of 33.4 million stock options for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The Company established a $1.0 million line of credit with First Niagara Bank on April 26, 2010. On March 17, 2011, the Company received written notice from the Guarantors of the loan agreement (two Company officers and one shareholder) that the Guarantors were required by First Niagara Bank to repay the $1.0 million principal balance of the Company’s line of credit.  The Company has no liability to the Guarantors as a result of the repayment by the Guarantors of the line of credit.  Other than accrued interest and applicable fees, which have been fully repaid, the Company had no liability to the Lender under the line of credit. As a result of this debt extinguishment, the Company recorded a $1.0 million non-cash gain during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
During 2011, the Company raised $3.2 million through private placement sales of “units” that included shares of commons stock and a warrant to purchase common stock. In March 2012, the Company sold 16 “units” generating $240,000, and in April and May 2012, an additional 6 units were sold for $90,000.  This working capital is not expected to be sufficient to fund operational growth, and the Company expects to need to raise additional capital.  There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be able to raise sufficient capital, at terms that are favorable to the Company or at all, to fund operations.
