DIAMETRICS MEDICAL, INC.
(A Development-Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006
(UNAUDITED)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENTS PLANS
Organization
Diametrics Medical, Inc. (the Company or Diametrics) was involved with the development, production and distribution of medical devices since its inception. Significant changes occurred in the Companys business during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
On September 29, 2003, the Company sold its intermittent blood testing business to International Technidyne Corporation (ITC). In October 2004, the Company discontinued its only line of business, the manufacture and distribution of continuous blood and tissue monitoring products, and in November 2004, the Companys wholly-owned UK subsidiary, Diametrics Medical Limited (DML), was put into liquidation. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company created a new wholly-owned subsidiary in the U.K., TGC Research Limited (TGC), which acquired certain assets and intellectual property out of the liquidation of DML for the purposes of starting a new research and development program, focusing initially on the development of products aimed at continuous glucose monitoring and control in critically ill patients in a hospital setting. The cost of purchasing the assets was approximately $333,000. Due to the lack of available funding, all operations of TGC were discontinued during the second quarter of 2005. In July 2006, the Company sold TGC with all of its intellectual property assets to GluMetrics Inc. for cash proceeds of $125,000 less a portion held in escrow pending the settlement of certain outstanding liabilities of TGC.
The Company has effectively been in the development stage since the beginning of 2005. The results of operations and cash flow accumulated from the beginning of 2005 through June 30, 2006 have been reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows. The cumulative losses incurred from the date of formation of the Company through June 30, 2006 are reported in the accumulated deficit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
On December 6, 2005, the Company concluded the exchange of certain securities. MAG, its affiliated funds, and other investors who held our 2005 Subordinated Convertible Notes, the 2007 Senior Secured Convertible Notes, the Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued May 2, 2005, and the Series F and G Convertible Preferred Stock, exchanged their securities for shares of newly created Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series H), and Ocean Park Advisors (OPA) exchanged its securities for shares of newly created Series I Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series I) collectively referred to as the Exchange Offering. Pursuant to this transaction, 10,000 and 15,000 shares of the Series F and Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, were cancelled and 27,889 and 13,794 shares of the Series H and Series I, respectively, were issued.
On December 6, 2005, Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd., a fund affiliated with MAG, and Asset Managers International Limited, each entered into an agreement to loan us up to $750,000, in the form of Convertible Secured Promissory Notes (the Convertible Notes), to use for (i) the payment of certain expenses, including the payment of $75,000 to OPA as compensation for its services in structuring the transactions mentioned above, (ii) to settle with certain creditors, and (iii) to develop and pursue strategic alternatives. On the same date, the Company made an initial draw of $450,000 under the Convertible Secured Promissory Notes. The remaining $300,000 was drawn upon on January 18, 2006.
GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES WHICH ARE ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF OUR CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE SERIES H AND I PREFERRED STOCK AND THE CONVERTIBLE NOTES, COMMON STOCKHOLDERS FACE SIGNIFICANT DILUTION OF THEIR OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN THE COMPANY. ON A FULLY-DILUTED, FULLY-CONVERTED BASIS (I.E. AS IF ALL CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES WERE CONVERTED INTO COMMON STOCK), THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AS OF JUNE 30, 2006 WOULD REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY 6% OF THE TOTAL SHARES OUTSTANDING.
The price per share of the Companys common stock at the close of trading on August 9, 2006 was $6.00. Multiplied by the fully-diluted, fully-converted number of shares outstanding (approximately 6.9 million), the price implies a value for the Companys share equity of approximately $41 million. As discussed previously, the Company is in the development stage with no revenues.
6
The report of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, as a result of recurring losses, negative cash flows and being in the development stage.
Managements Plans
Diametrics management is attempting to seek strategic alternatives, including the pursuit of additional financing for strategic acquisitions or a merger with another business. The Company has incurred significant losses from operations as of June 30, 2006 and has limited financial resources. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. Management may issue additional equity or debt securities. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or equity-related securities, current shareholders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the newly issued securities may have rights superior to those of common stock. If additional funds are raised by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to restrictive covenants that could limit its operating flexibility. There can be no assurance that adequate funds will be available when needed and on acceptable terms, or that a strategic alternative can be arranged. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim consolidated financial statements of Diametrics Medical, Inc. (the Company) are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. Operating results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.
The Company has identified certain significant accounting policies that it considers particularly important to the portrayal of the Companys results of operations and financial position which may require the application of a higher level of judgment by the Companys management and, as a result, are subject to an inherent level of uncertainty. These are characterized as critical accounting policies and address the accounting for and classification of debt and equity instruments and are more fully described under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes which are part of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Stock Split
On June 15, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a one-for-one hundred reverse stock split (reverse split) of the Companys common stock. The record date of the reverse split was June 30, 2006. As a result of the reverse split, the Company issued one (1) share of Common Stock in exchange for every one hundred (100) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse split.
In connection with this stock split, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Companys Articles of Incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock to 10,000,000, and the number of authorized shares of preferred stock to 50,000. The Board also approved amendments to the Certificates of Designations for the Companys Series H and Series I Convertible Preferred Stock to adjust the conversion price of each such Series of preferred stock to reflect the reverse split.
All share and per share information has been adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, including all references throughout the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In connection with the preparation of the Companys 2005 consolidated financial statements, and the evaluation of the accounting treatment for the sale of $1.8 million of Senior Convertible Notes in December 2004, the Company reviewed its original accounting
7
for the transaction. Upon completion of such evaluation and review, the Company determined that the accounting for the Senior Convertible Notes should be revised. At the date of issuance of $1.8 million in Senior Convertible Notes, certain provisions within the agreement were not considered conventional as defined in Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-19 (EITF 00-19). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values and record them at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Our derivative financial instruments consisted of embedded derivatives related to the Senior Convertible Notes and the underlying detachable warrants. The warrants outstanding were determined to be derivative instruments because these were considered liabilities based on paragraphs 12-33 of EITF 00-19.
During 2005, the Company also evaluated its accounting for the modification of its convertible senior secured notes and the related impact on the underlying beneficial conversion feature. The Company determined the expensing of the beneficial conversion feature was applicable to the quarter ended June 30, 2005 (see the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, and Notes 2 and 11).

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Diametrics Medical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Accounting for Conversion Features and Warrants Issued with Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock
On December 14, 2004, the Company issued $1.8 million of Senior Convertible Notes, which contained an embedded conversion feature (ECF) and warrants to purchase common stock. In accordance with the guidance in paragraph 12 of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, it was necessary to evaluate separation of the conversion option from the debt host and account for it separately as a derivative if the conversion option met certain criteria. The conversion option met all three criteria of paragraph 12: (1) the conversion feature is not clearly and closely related to the debt host component, (2) the convertible debt instrument is not accounted for at fair value, and (3) the embedded conversion option meets the definition of a derivative in paragraph 6 of SFAS No. 133.
To assess whether or not the conversion option would be classified as shareholders equity if it were freestanding, management considered the guidance in EITF 00-19. In assessing whether or not the conversion option would be classified as equity or a liability if it were freestanding, management determined whether or not the convertible debt is considered conventional. EITF 00-19 and EITF 05-2, The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instruments in issue No. 00-19, defines conventional convertible debt as debt whereby the holder will, at the issuers option, receive a fixed amount of shares or the equivalent amount of cash as proceeds when he exercises the conversion option. Management determined that convertible debt was not conventional and the Company considered all aspects of EITF 00-19, paragraphs 12-33.
This caused the ECF of this debt to be classified as a derivative financial instrument under SFAS No. 133. In addition, all warrants to purchase common stock were then deemed to be classified as derivative instruments under SFAS No. 133. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the ECF and warrants at their fair values as of each reporting date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. The derivatives were valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and were classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term liabilities because the notes were exchanged for equity as part of the Exchange Offering.
8
EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, governs the calculation of an embedded beneficial conversion, which is treated as an additional discount to the instruments where derivative accounting (explained above) does not apply. These pronouncements do apply to the Companys recent transactions involving $750,000 of convertible promissory notes, because both meet the definition of conventional convertible debt in accordance with EITF 00-19, paragraph 4. The amount of the fair value of warrants and the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature must reduce the carrying value of the instrument, but not below the face value of the notes or zero. The discounts relating to the initial recording of the derivatives or beneficial conversion features are accreted over the term of the debt.
SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity established standards for how an issuer of equity (including the equity shares of any entity whose financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements) classifies and measures on its balance sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 did not cause the Companys Series H and Series I convertible preferred stock to be recorded as liabilities since the shares do not have mandatory redemption features.
Per Share Information
Basic loss per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution to basic EPS that could occur upon conversion or exercise of securities, options or other such items to common shares using the treasury stock method, based upon the weighted average fair value of our common shares during the period. For each period presented, basic and diluted loss per share amounts are identical as the effect of potential common shares is antidilutive.
The following is a summary of outstanding securities which have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect on net loss per common share would have been antidilutive:

Stock Based Compensation.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires that the Company account for all stock-based compensation using a fair-value method and recognize the fair value of each award as an expense over the service period. For the year ended December 31, 2005 and earlier years, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations and followed the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS 148 Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure.
The Company elected to adopt SFAS 123R using the modified prospective application. Under that method, compensation expense includes the fair value of new awards, modified awards and any unvested awards outstanding at January 1, 2006. However, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense for 2005 and earlier years represents the cost of stock options and restricted stock awards determined in accordance with APB 25.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share as if compensation expense for all awards of stock-based employee compensation had been determined under the fair value-based method prescribed by SFAS 123 for periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R:

(3) CONVERTIBLE DEBT
Convertible Promissory Notes
On December 6, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to issue Convertible Promissory Notes to provide up to $750,000 in gross proceeds, of which $450,000 was advanced as of December 31, 2005. On January 18, 2006, the Company received the remaining balance available of $300,000. These notes together with accrued interest are due November 30, 2008 and have a stated interest rate of 10% per annum. The Company may, at its option, pay the interest in cash or in shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the higher of (1) $1.00 per share or (2) the average share price recorded at the close of 10 trading days prior to the date of conversion. Each dollar of outstanding principal may be converted at any time into common stock at conversion price of $0.46 per share or 2.15 shares per dollar outstanding.
The Company accounted for the conversion feature in accordance with EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27 since the ECF was considered conventional as defined in EITF 00-19 and EITF 05-02. This resulted in the calculation of the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $450,000 for the December 6, 2005 advance and $300,000 for the January 18, 2006 advance, which have been treated as a discount to the underlying debt. The discounts are being amortized into interest expense over the term of the notes.
The following is a roll forward of the Companys convertible debt from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006:
| Convertible debt, net of discounts | |||
| Balance at December 31, 2005 |
$ | 12,557 | |
| Net new additions |
| ||
| Principal payments |
| ||
| Accretion of interest |
127,636 | ||
| Balance at June 30, 2006 |
$ | 140,193 | |
During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Companys was unable to make the required installment payments under the terms of its then outstanding (see Note 1) $1,800,000 convertible senior secured notes and $7,300,000 convertible subordinated notes and was in default. As a result, the Company charged the unamortized discounts to interest expense in the amount of $7,244,732 during this period.
(4) INCOME TAXES
At June 30, 2006, the Company had available no U.S. tax net operating loss carry forwards, pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which assesses the utilization of a companys net operating loss carry forwards resulting from retaining continuity of its business operations and changes within its ownership structure. Management believes that net operating loses will be subject to limitations due to a change in ownership that occurred in December 2005. The Company provided for a valuation allowance of 100% of the net deferred tax assets.

(5) SHAREHOLDERS DEFICIT
Stock Option Plan
On March 13, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to appoint Paul Galleberg as a member of the Companys board of directors and also appointed him as chairman of the compensation committee. In connection with this agreement, the Company agreed to issue stock options to purchase 0.3% of the fully diluted common stock (equivalent to 20,715 shares as of June 30, 2006) upon the adoption of an equity compensation plan covering such shares. The equity compensation plan was subsequently adopted on August 11, 2006; furthermore, Mr. Gallebergs options were increased to 0.5% of the fully diluted common stock, and were granted on that day with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant of $0.421 per share, and vesting in full six months from March 13, 2006 (see Item 5 of Part II).
On May 4, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to appoint Jeff Lawton as a member of the Companys board of directors and also appointed him a member of the compensation committee. In connection with this agreement, the Company agreed to issue stock options to purchase 0.3% of the fully diluted common stock (20,715 shares as of June 30, 2006) upon the adoption of an equity compensation plan covering such shares. The equity compensation plan was subsequently adopted on August 11, 2006; furthermore, Mr. Lawtons options were increased to 0.5% of the fully-diluted common stock, and were granted on that day with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant of $0.421 per share, and vesting in full six months from May 4, 2006 (see Item 5 of Part II).
The Companys adoption of an equity compensation plan is subject to shareholder approval. W. Bruce Comer III and Heng Chuk, who are directors and executives of the Company, control a majority of the Companys shareholder votes (approximately 77% as of June 30, 2006) through their control of OPA, the holder of the Companys outstanding shares of voting Series I Preferred Stock. The directors service dates have commenced and shareholder approval is considered perfunctory. Prior to the grant date on August 11, 2006, management recorded $10,588 of compensation costs for the directors stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility ranging from 184% to 172%, risk free interest rate of 5%, an expected term of six months, and no dividends. Furthermore, the Company determined it was appropriate to use the dilution-adjusted Black-Scholes model, which gives effect to potential dilution from warrants and convertible securities that would increase the number of shares outstanding upon exercise or conversion.
On August 11, 2006, the Companys board of directors adopted the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2006 Plan). The 2006 Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company at a meeting of stockholders and, if approved by a majority of the voting power thereof, the 2006 Plan shall become effective as of August 11, 2006. The 2006 Plan provides for the grant of equity awards to directors, officers, other employees, consultants, independent contractors and agents of the Company and its subsidiaries, including stock options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units, bonus stock and performance shares. Up to 361,243 shares of the Companys common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events, may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and shall expire 10 years after adoption, unless terminated earlier by the Board. In the event that this Plan is not approved by the stockholders of the Company on or before May 31, 2007, the 2006 Plan and any awards granted under it shall be null and void. No options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock may be exercised prior to the date of such stockholder approval.
On August 11, 2006, the Company granted its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, options to purchase 180,622 and 86,698 shares of common stock, respectively, with exercise prices of $0.463 per share, or 110% of fair value, and vesting fully on December 1, 2006. Two directors of the Company, were each awarded an option to purchase 36,124 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.421 per share and vesting fully on September 13 and November 4, 2006, respectively (being 6 months after the appointment of each director) as discussed above. Lastly, an accounting consultant to the Company was also awarded an option to purchase 21,675 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.421 per share and vesting fully on December 1, 2006. All stock options awarded to the above individuals expire on March 15, 2007, and are not exercisable until approval by the stockholders of the Company. The Company will record the increased compensation costs of approximately $115,000 over the remaining requisite service periods using the actual fair value and exercise prices.
The Company obtained an independent, third-party opinion on the fair market value of the Companys total equity (including all classes of stock and securities convertible into equity) as of August 2, 2006, as the basis for the exercise prices per share for the option awards described in the paragraph above. The valuation analysis was performed by an independent financial advisory firm that specializes in investment banking, business valuation and financial opinion services. This third-party estimate of the value of the Companys total equity, divided by the number of common shares on a fully-converted basis (equivalent to approximately 6.9 million shares), was calculated by the Company to imply a fair market value per share of approximately $0.42.
Preferred Stock Conversions
On March 8, 2006, Camden International converted 35 shares of the Companys Series H Preferred Stock into 3,500 shares of common stock, and on June 7, 2006, Camden converted an additional 100 shares of Series H Preferred Stock into 10,000 shares of common stock. On June 6, 2006, Longview Fund, L.P., Longview Equity Fund, L.P., and Longview International Equity Fund, L.P. converted 330, 132, and 68 shares of Series H Preferred Stock into 33,000, 13,200, and 6,800 shares of commons stock respectively.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Diametrics Medical, Inc. for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 contains forward-looking statements, principally in the sections entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition and Business. Generally, you can identify these statements because they use words like anticipates, believes, expects, future, intends, plans, and similar terms. 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. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which apply only as of the date of this annual report. These forward-looking statements are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
11
amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. To the extent that such statements are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements that, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties. In any forward-looking statement where we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation of belief will be accomplished.
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our investors. There may be events in the future, however, that we are unable to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors listed in this filing, as well as any cautionary language in this annual report, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated, include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully develop new products; the ability to obtain financing for product development; changes in product strategies; general economic, financial and business conditions; changes in and compliance with governmental healthcare and other regulations; changes in tax laws; and the availability of key management and other personnel.
OVERVIEW
Significant changes occurred during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005. On September 29, 2003, we sold our intermittent blood testing business to International Technidyne Corporation (ITC). In October 2004, we discontinued our only line of business, the manufacture and distribution of continuous blood and tissue monitoring products. During the first quarter of 2005, we created a new wholly-owned subsidiary in the U.K., TGC Research Limited (TGC), for the purposes of starting a new product research and development program, to focusing initially on the development of new products aimed at continuous glucose monitoring and control in critically ill patients in a hospital setting. Due to the lack of available funding, we discontinued all operations of TGC during the second quarter of 2005. , and in July 2006, we sold TGC with all of its intellectual property assets to GluMetrics Inc. (see Note 1). The Company has effectively been in the development stage since 2005.
AT JUNE 30, 2006, OUR ONLY BUSINESS ACTIVITIES RELATED TO SEEKING STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES, INCLUDING THE PURSUIT OF ADDITIONAL FINANCING FOR STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS OR A MERGER WITH ANOTHER BUSINESS. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING SUCH FINANCING, OR ARRANGING FOR A STRATEGIC ACQUISITION OR MERGER, AND IF WE CANNOT DO SO WITHIN THE NEXT TWO TO FOUR MONTHS, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts, giving due consideration to materiality. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies during 2006.
Accounting for Conversion Features and Warrants Issued with Convertible Debt
Our derivative financial instruments consisted of embedded derivatives related to the issuance of our $1.8 million convertible senior notes. These embedded derivatives include the conversion feature and the detachable warrants. As of the inception date of the agreement, the debt was not considered conventional as defined in EITF 05-2, The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instruments in issue No. 00-19). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that we record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values and record them at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. In addition, under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, as a result of entering into the convertible senior notes, we are required to classify all other non-employee stock options and warrants as derivative liabilities and record them at fair value at each reporting date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, we will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, we will record non-operating, non-cash income. The derivatives were valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and were classified in the consolidated balance sheets as long-term liabilities, prior to their extinguishment as part of the Exchange Offering.
12
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123R requires that we account for all stock-based compensation transactions using a fair-value method and recognize the fair value of each award as an expense, generally over the service period. The fair value of stock options is based upon the market price of our common stock at the grant date. We estimate the fair value of stock option awards, as of the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes model requires that we make a number of estimates, including the expected option term, the expected volatility in the price of our common stock, the risk-free rate of interest and the dividend yield on our common stock. If our expected option term and stock-price volatility assumptions were different, the resulting determination of the fair value of stock option awards could be materially different and our results of operations could be materially impacted.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue and Cost of Revenue
As a result of discontinued operations, we have no revenue or cost of revenue related to continuing operations during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $157,493, a decrease of $260,481 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $198,380, a decrease of $1,063,326 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in general and administrative expenses resulted from reductions in our headcount and overhead expenses, offset by stock compensation expense resulting from the issuance of stock options to certain members of our board of directors. The decrease in research and development costs reflects the suspension of assets purchased from the liquidation of our subsidiary, DML and expenses of a development project that was halted during the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Interest Income (Expense)
Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $82,311, a decrease of $6,517,327 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $164,417, a decrease of $7,192,752 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. The changes between periods in interest expense occurred as a result of the accretion of $1,800,000 senior secured convertible notes and $7,300,000 of convertible subordinated notes during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and a decrease in the principle amount of debt outstanding as of June 30, 2006 as a result of the Exchange Offering in December 2005, as compared to three months ended June 30, 2006.
Other Income
Other income for the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $3,917 and $14,984 , as compared to $3,298 and $508 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The change during the 2006 periods primarily result from expense reductions and the entering into settlement agreements with certain vendors for forgiveness of trade accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
The change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $0, as compared to a gain of $328,900 and 426,556 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. As part of the Exchange Offering in December 2005, the underlying securities were exchanged for preferred stock. As such, the Companys liabilities under the convertible instrument were terminated.
Discontinued Operations
During the six months ended June 30, 2005 we recorded a gain of $14,500 resulting from the liquidation of remaining inventory balances on hand which were previously recognized as a loss from discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2004.
13
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and other commitments in the normal course of business. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of recurring losses and negative cash flows. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that would be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
At June 30, 2006, our cash balance was $84,476 and we had negative working capital of $258,908. Current liabilities of $376,715 at that date consisted primarily of accounts payable and accrued expenses. As of June 30, 2006, we had $750,000 of long-term debt outstanding, due November 28, 2008, and $39,863 of accrued interest.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $596,352 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $1,360,449 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease resulted from a reduction in our net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we did not enter into any investing activities.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $300,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with $150,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we received $300,000 in proceeds from the issuance of convertible promissory notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we received $150,000 from the issuance of convertible senior notes.
Income Tax Carryforwards
At June 30, 2006, we had no available U.S. tax net operating loss carryforwards. Pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, utilization of a companys net operating loss carryforwards is limited when continuity of business operations is not maintained or when there is a change in ownership.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant known off balance sheet arrangements.
| Item 3. | Controls and Procedures |
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As of June 30, 2006, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2006 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
14
(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
| Item 5. | Other Information |
On August 4, 2006, the Company entered into indemnification agreements with all of its current directors and officers (each an Indemnitee), substantially in the form approved by the Board of Directors as attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto. The indemnification agreements generally require the Company to indemnify and hold an Indemnitee harmless to the greatest extent permitted by law for liabilities arising out of the Indemnitees service to the Company as an officer or director, except to the extent that such liabilities are attributable to dishonest or fraudulent conduct, to personal gains to which Indemnitee is not entitled, or for which payments by the Company are not permissible under applicable law. The indemnification agreements also provide for the advancement of defense expenses by the Company. The foregoing summary is qualified by reference to the terms and provisions of the indemnification agreements.
At a meeting of the Companys Board of Directors on August 11, 2006, the Companys management and directors adopted the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2006 Plan), attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto. The 2006 Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company at a meeting of stockholders and, if approved by a majority of the voting power thereof, the 2006 Plan shall become effective as of August 11, 2006. The 2006 Plan provides for the grant of equity awards to directors, officers, other employees, consultants, independent contractors and agents of the Company and its subsidiaries, including stock options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units, bonus stock and performance shares. Up to 361,243 shares of the Companys common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events, may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and shall expire 10 years after adoption, unless terminated earlier by the Board. In the event that this Plan is not approved by the stockholders of the Company on or before May 31, 2007, the 2006 Plan and any awards granted under it shall be null and void. No options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock may be exercised prior to the date of such stockholder approval.
On August 11, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors, acting as the Committee administering the 2006 Plan, approved stock option awards to the directors, management and a consultant to the Company substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 10.3 hereto. W. Bruce Comer III, the Chief Executive Officer, and Heng Chuk, the Chief Financial Officer, were awarded options to purchase 180,622 and 86,698 shares of common stock, respectively, with exercise prices of $0.463 per share and vesting fully on December 1, 2006. Paul Galleberg and Jeffrey Lawton, directors of the Company, were each awarded an option to purchase 36,124 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.421 per share and vesting fully on September 13 and November 4, 2006, respectively (being 6 months after the appointment of each director). The options awarded to Messrs. Galleberg and Lawton thus called for a higher number of shares available for purchase than the 20,715 originally set out in each of their appointment agreements, due to the greater level of service activity required of each director than the Company had originally anticipated. Lastly, an accounting consultant to the Company was also awarded an option to purchase 21,675 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.421 per share and vesting fully on December 1, 2006. All stock options awarded to the above individuals expire on March 15, 2007, and are not exercisable until approval by the stockholders of the Company.
The Company obtained an independent, third-party opinion on the fair market value of the Companys total equity (including all classes of stock and securities convertible into equity) as of August 2, 2006, as the basis for the exercise prices per share for the option awards described in the paragraph above. The valuation analysis was performed by an independent financial advisory firm that specializes in investment banking, business valuation and financial opinion services. This third-party estimate of the value of the Companys total equity, divided by the number of common shares on a fully-converted basis (equivalent to approximately 6.9 million shares), was calculated by the Company to imply a fair market value per share of approximately $0.42.
