AETHLON MEDICAL, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 2008
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Aethlon Medical, Inc. ("Aethlon", "We" or the "Company") is a development stage
medical device company focused on expanding the applications of our Hemopurifier
(R) platform technology, which is designed to rapidly reduce the presence of
infectious viruses and other toxins from human blood. In this regard, our core
focus is the development of therapeutic devices that treat acute viral
conditions, chronic viral diseases and pathogens targeted as potential
biological warfare agents. The Hemopurifier(R) combines the established
scientific principles of affinity chromatography and hemodialysis as a means to
mimic the immune system's response of clearing viruses and toxins from the blood
before cell and organ infection can occur. The Hemopurifier(R) cannot cure viral
conditions but can prevent virus and toxins from infecting unaffected tissues
and cells. We have completed pre-clinical blood testing of the Hemopurifier(R)
to treat HIV and Hepatitis-C, and have completed human safety trials on
Hepatitis-C infected patients in India and are in the process of obtaining
regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to
initiate clinical trials in the United States.
The commercialization of the Hemopurifier(R) will require the completion of
human efficacy clinical trials. The approval of any application of the
Hemopurifier(R) in the United States will necessitate the approval of the FDA to
initiate human studies. Such studies could take years to demonstrate safety and
effectiveness in humans and there is no assurance that the Hemopurifier(R) will
be cleared by the FDA as a device we can market to the medical community. We
also expect to face similar regulatory challenges from foreign regulatory
agencies, should we attempt to commercialize and market the Hemopurifier(R)
outside of the United States. As a result, we have not generated revenues from
the sale of any Hemopurifier(R) application. Additionally, there have been no
independent validation studies of our Hemopurifiers(R) to treat infectious
disease. We manufacture our products on a small scale for testing purposes but
have yet to manufacture our products on a large scale for commercial purposes.
All of our pre-clinical human blood studies have been conducted in our
laboratories under the direction of Dr. Richard Tullis, our Chief Science
Officer.
We are classified as a development stage enterprise under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and have not
generated revenues from our principal operations.
Our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board administered
by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("OTCBB") under the symbol
"AEMD.OB".
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial
statements not misleading have been included. The condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of March 31, 2008 was derived from our audited financial statements.
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2008
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending March 31, 2009. For further information, refer to our Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2008, which includes audited financial
statements and footnotes as of March 31, 2008 and for the years ended March 31,
2008 and 2007 and the period January 31, 1984 (Inception) through March 31,
2008.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates, among other
things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business. We have experienced continuing losses from
operations, are in default on certain debt, have negative working capital of
approximately ($4,158,000), recurring losses from operations and a deficit
accumulated during the development stage of approximately ($35,039,000) at
September 30, 2008, which among other matters, raises significant doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. We have not generated significant
revenue or any profit from operations since inception. A significant amount of
additional capital will be necessary to advance the development of our products
to the point at which they may become commercially viable. Our current financial
resources are insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital and
other cash requirements (consisting of accounts payable, accrued liabilities,
amounts due to related parties and amounts due under various notes payable) for
the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. Therefore we will be required to seek
additional funds through debt and/or equity financing arrangements to finance
our current and long-term operations.
A-5
We are currently addressing our liquidity issue by exploring investment capital
opportunities through the public markets, specifically, through private
placement of common stock. We believe that our access to capital, together with
existing cash resources, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for
fiscal 2009. However, no assurance can be given that we will receive any funds
in a connection with our capital raising efforts, in which case we will be
required to significantly curtail operations, sell or license out significant
portions of our technology, or possibly cease operations.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets that might be necessary
should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary of our significant accounting policies presented below is designed
to assist the reader in understanding our condensed consolidated interim
financial statements. Such financial statements and related notes are the
representations of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP in all material respects,
and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements.
PRINCIPLE OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Aethlon Medical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Aethlon,
Inc., Hemex, Inc. and Cell Activation, Inc. (collectively hereinafter referred
to as the "Company" or "Aethlon"). These subsidiaries are dormant and there are
no material intercompany transactions or balances.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the year in
accordance with SFAS No. 128, "EARNINGS PER SHARE."
Securities that could potentially dilute basic loss per share (prior to their
conversion, exercise or redemption) were not included in the
diluted-loss-per-share computation because their effect is anti-dilutive. Based
on the treasury method, the potentially dilutive common shares outstanding for
the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, which include
shares underlying outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible debentures
were as follows:
September 30, September 30,
2008 2007
Three months ended 3,699,270 18,459,500
Six months ended 7,065,020 17,899,812
PATENTS
We capitalize the cost of patents, some of which were acquired, and amortize
such costs over the shorter of the remaining legal life or their estimated
economic life, upon issuance of the patent.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
We incurred approximately $383,000 and $440,000 of research and development
expenses during the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
which are included in various operating expense line items in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
EQUITY INSTRUMENTS FOR SERVICES PROVIDED BY OTHER THAN EMPLOYEES
We follow SFAS No. 123-R (as interpreted by Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
Issue No. 96-18, "ACCOUNTING FOR EQUITY INSTRUMENTS THAT ARE ISSUED TO OTHER
THAN EMPLOYEES FOR ACQUIRING, OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH SELLING, GOODS OR
SERVICES") ("EITF No. 96-18") to account for transactions involving goods and
services provided by third parties where we issue equity instruments as part of
the total consideration. Pursuant to paragraph 7 of SFAS No. 123-R, we account
for such transactions using the fair value of the consideration received (i.e.
the value of the goods or services) or the fair value of the equity instruments
issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
We apply EITF No. 96-18, in transactions, when the value of the goods and/or
services are not readily determinable and (1) the fair value of the equity
instruments is more reliably measurable and (2) the counterparty receives equity
instruments in full or partial settlement of the transactions, using the
following methodology:
(a) For transactions where goods have already been delivered or services
rendered, the equity instruments are issued on or about the date the
performance is complete (and valued on the date of issuance).
(b) For transactions where the instruments are issued on a fully vested,
non-forfeitable basis, the equity instruments are valued on or about the
date of the contract.
(c) For any transactions not meeting the criteria in (a) or (b) above, we
re-measure the consideration at each reporting date based on its then
current stock value.
A-6
IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
SFAS No.144 ("SFAS 144"), "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF" addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 requires
that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If
the cost basis of a long-lived asset is greater than the projected future
undiscounted net cash flows from such asset (excluding interest), an impairment
loss is recognized. Impairment losses are calculated as the difference between
the cost basis of an asset and its estimated fair value. SFAS 144 also requires
companies to separately report discontinued operations and extends that
reporting requirement to a component of an entity that either has been disposed
of (by sale, abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as
held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the
carrying amount or the estimated fair value less costs to sell. We believe that
no impairment existed at or during the three or six months ended September 30,
2008.
BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
The convertible feature of certain notes payable provides for a rate of
conversion that is below the market value of our common stock. Such feature is
normally characterized as a "Beneficial Conversion Feature" ("BCF"). Pursuant to
EITF Issue No. 98-5, "ACCOUNTING FOR CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES WITH BENEFICIAL
CONVERSION FEATURES OR CONTINGENTLY ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION RATIO" and EITF No.
00-27, "APPLICATION OF EITF ISSUE NO. 98-5 TO CERTAIN CONVERTIBLE INSTRUMENTS,"
the estimated fair value of the BCF is recorded, when applicable, in the
consolidated financial statements as a discount from the face amount of the
notes. Such discounts are accreted to interest expense over the term of the
notes using the effective yield basis.
DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES AND CLASSIFICATION
We evaluate free-standing instruments (or embedded derivatives) indexed to its
common stock to properly classify such instruments within equity or as
liabilities in our financial statements, pursuant to the requirements of the
EITF Issue No. 00-19, "ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS INDEXED
TO AND POTENTIALLY SETTLED IN, A COMPANY'S OWN STOCK," EITF Issue No. 01-06,
"THE MEANING OF INDEXED TO A COMPANY'S OWN STOCK," FSP EITF Issue No. 00-19-2,
"ACCOUNTING FOR REGISTRATION PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS," and SFAS No. 133,
"ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES," as amended. Our
policy is to settle instruments indexed to our common shares on a
first-in-first-out basis. Pursuant to EITF Issue No. 00-19, the classification
of an instrument indexed to our stock, which is carried as a liability, must be
reassessed at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under this
Consensus changes as a result of events during a reporting period, the
instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the
reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be
reclassified.
REGISTRATION PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
We account for our liquidated damages on registration rights agreements in
accordance with FASB Staff Position EITF Issue No. 00-19-2 "ACCOUNTING FOR
REGISTRATION PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS" which specifies that the contingent
obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a
registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in
accordance with SFAS No. 5, "ACCOUNTING FOR CONTINGENCIES" ("SFAS No. 5").
Pursuant to SFAS No. 5, a liability related to potential liquidated damages if
such damages were determined to be both probable and reasonably estimable. We
had accrued liquidated damages on the 10% Series A Convertible Notes. In
connection with the amendment of these instruments and related warrants on
November 29, 2007, the liquidated damages related to these Notes were settled.
As of September 30, 2008, we made a payment to the holders of the Amended Series
A 10% Convertible Notes in the form of common stock and warrants to settle
accrued amounts of interest and liquidated damages. Since we filed a
registration statement to register the relevant securities relating to the 10%
Series A Convertible Notes and that registration statement was declared
effective in October 2008, we will not incur any further liquidated damages
relating to the 10% Series A Convertible Notes.
We also have accrued $201,900 in liquidated damages in connection with potential
liquidated damages related to other transactions that required liquidated
damages on registration rights agreements.
A-7
The following table lists the amounts of liquidated damages accrued by
Transaction. As registration has now occurred for each of the following
transactions, no further liquidated damages are being accrued.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Effective April 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123-R,
"Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS No. 123-R"). SFAS No. 123-R requires employee
stock options and rights to purchase shares under stock participation plans to
be accounted for under the fair value method and requires the use of an option
pricing model for estimating fair value. Accordingly, share-based compensation
is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award. We
previously accounted for awards granted under our equity incentive plan under
the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES," and related interpretations, and
provided the required pro forma disclosures prescribed by SFAS No. 123,
"ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION," as amended. The exercise price of
options is generally equal to the market price of our common stock (defined as
the closing price as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on the date
of grant. Accordingly, no share-based compensation was recognized in the
financial statements for periods prior to April 1, 2006.
Under the modified prospective method of adoption for SFAS No. 123-R, the
compensation cost that we recognize beginning April 1, 2006 includes (a)
compensation cost for all equity incentive awards granted prior to, but not yet
vested as of April 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in
accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation
cost for all equity incentive awards granted subsequent to April 1, 2006, based
on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 123-R.
From time to time, our Board of Directors grants common share purchase options
or warrants to selected directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors
in payment of goods or services provided by such persons on a stand-alone basis
outside of any of our formal stock plans. The terms of these grants are
individually negotiated and generally expire within five years from the grant
date. Such grants are recorded based on the grant date fair value of the equity
instruments.
In August 2000, we adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan ("Stock Option Plan"),
which was approved by our stockholders in December 2000. The Stock Option Plan
provides for the issuance of up to 500,000 options to purchase shares of common
stock. Such options can be incentive options or nonstatutory options, and may be
granted to employees, directors and consultants. The Stock Option Plan has
limits as to the eligibility of those stockholders who own more than 10% of our
stock, as defined. The options granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan may
have exercise prices of no less than 100% of fair market value of the Company's
common stock at the date of grant (incentive options), or no less than 75% of
fair market value of such stock at the date of grant (nonstatutory). At
September 30, 2008, we had granted 47,500 options under the 2000 Stock Option
Plan of which 15,000 had been forfeited. All of these options vested prior to
the adoption of SFAS 123-R. We have reserved 467,500 shares for future issuance.
Share-based compensation resulting from direct stock grants and from the
application of SFAS No. 123-R to options outstanding resulted in expenses of
$64,696 and $134,192 for the three and six month periods ended September 30,
2008 and $69,446 and $352,951 for the three and six month periods ended
September 30, 2007. We use the Binomial Lattice option pricing model for
estimating fair value of options granted.
A-8
The following table summarizes the effect of share-based compensation resulting
from direct share grants and from the application of SFAS No. 123-R to options
granted:

In accordance with SFAS No. 123-R, beginning on April 1, 2006, we adjust
share-based compensation on a quarterly basis for changes to the estimate of
expected award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience. The effect, if
any, of adjusting the forfeiture rate for all expense amortization is recognized
in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. The effect of forfeiture
adjustments for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 was
insignificant.
The following weighted average assumptions were used in the valuation of these
instruments.

At September 30, 2008, there was approximately $710,000 of unrecognized

INCOME TAXES
Under SFAS 109, "ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES," deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the
difference between the consolidated financial statements and their respective
tax basis. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts reported for income tax purposes, and (b) tax
credit carryforwards. We record a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
when, based on our best estimate of taxable income (if any) in the foreseeable
future, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets
may not be realized.
SIGNIFICANT RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS," which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance within GAAP, but does not
require any new fair value measurements. The guidance in SFAS No. 157 applies to
derivatives and other financial instruments measured at estimated fair value
under SFAS No. 133 and related pronouncements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157 ("SFAS No. 157") as of April 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157
applies to certain assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported
on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This Statement
enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to
develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality
and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The Statement
requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified
and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are
corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The fair value of our warrant liabilities is determined based on observable
market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data,
which is a Level 3 classification. We record variations in our warrant liability
account on our balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recorded
in our consolidated statements of operations.
The following outlines the significant weighted average assumptions used to
estimate the fair value information presented, with respect to warrants
utilizing the Binomial Lattice option pricing model:
Quarter Ended September 30, 2008
--------------------------------
Risk free interest rate 2.64% - 3.01%
Average expected life 3 - 5 years
Expected volatility 83.6% - 84.8%
Expected dividends None
We did not make any changes to our valuation techniques in the quarter ended
September 30, 2008.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." SFAS No. 159 expands the scope of
specific types of assets and liabilities that an entity may carry at fair value
on its statement of financial position, and offers an irrevocable option to
record the vast majority of financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with
changes in fair value recorded in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not yet elected to use the fair
value option, and as such, our adoption AFAS No. 159 as of April 1, 2008 did not
have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its
Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not
believed by management to have a material impact on our present or future
consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles ("SFAS 162"). This statement identifies the sources of and
framework for selecting the accounting principles to be used in the preparation
of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United
States ("GAAP hierarchy"). Because the current GAAP hierarchy is set forth in
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 69, it is directed to the auditor rather than to the entity
responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements
presented in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the FASB concluded the GAAP
hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB and
issued this statement to achieve that result. The provisions of SFAS 162 are
effective November 15, 2008, which is 60 days following the SEC's approval of
the Public Comp any Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. Management believes that adoption of SFAS 162 will not have a
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4. NOTES PAYABLE
12% NOTES
From August 1999 through May 2005, we entered into various borrowing
arrangements for the issuance of notes payable from private placement offerings
(the "12% Notes). At September 30, 2008, $347,500 of the principal balance of
the 12% Notes was past due, in default, and bears interest at the default rate
of 15%.
10% NOTES
From time to time, we issued convertible notes payable ("10% Note") to various
investors, bearing interest at 10% per annum, with principal and interest due
six months from the date of issuance. The 10% Notes required no payment of
principal or interest during the term and may be converted to our common stock
at the conversion price of $0.50 per share at any time at the option of the
noteholder. The total amount of the original notes issued was $275,000. One
remaining 10% Note in the amount of $5,000 was past due and in default at
September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008, interest payable on this note totaled
$3,625.
8% NOTES
In December 2007, we issued notes payable ("8% Notes") to two accredited
investors in the aggregate amount of $495,000 with 8% interest maturing on
September 5, 2008. In conjunction with the issuance of the 8% Notes, we also
issued three year warrants to acquire 1,485,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.50
per share.
Under this transaction, we are obligated to register for resale the common
shares underlying the warrants, and as a result, this warrant obligation does
not meet the scope exception of paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 133. Specifically,
at the commitment date, we did not have any uncommitted registered shares to
settle the warrant obligation and accordingly, such obligation was required to
be classified as a liability (outside of stockholders' deficit) in accordance
with EITF Issue No.00-19. The warrants were valued at $693,050 on the commitment
date using a Binomial Lattice option pricing model. Such amount was recorded as
a derivative liability with an offsetting debt discount recorded against the
$495,000 face amount of the 8% Notes and the remaining $198,050 recorded as
interest expense. The debt discount was amortized to expense over the term of
the 8% Notes.
On September 5, 2008, the 8% Notes matured. We are currently in negotiations to
extend those notes but there can be no assurance that such extension will be
obtained on terms acceptable to us or at all.
2008 9% NOTES
In January 2008, we issued notes payable ("2008 9% Notes") to an accredited
investor in the amount of $220,000 with 9% interest maturing on October 19,
2008. In conjunction with the issuance of the 2008 9% Notes, we also issued
three year warrants to acquire 660,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.50 per
share.
Under this transaction, we are obligated to register for resale the common
shares underlying the warrants, and as a result, this warrant obligation does
not meet the scope exception of paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 133. Specifically,
at the commitment date, we did not have any uncommitted registered shares to
settle the warrant obligation and accordingly, such obligation was required to
be classified as a liability (outside of stockholders' deficit) in accordance
with EITF Issue No. 00-19. The warrants were valued at $222,450 on the
commitment date using a Binomial Lattice option pricing model. Such amount was
recorded as a derivative liability with an offsetting debt discount recorded
against the $220,000 face amount of the 2008 9% Notes and the remaining $2,450
recorded as interest expense. The debt discount is amortized to expense over the
term of the 2008 9% Notes.
Notes payable consist of the following at September 30, 2008:

Our plans to satisfy the remaining outstanding balance on these notes include
converting the notes to common stock at market value or repayment with available
funds.

NOTE 5. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
10% CONVERTIBLE NOTES
On December 15, 2006, we issued two 10% Convertible Notes ("December 10% Notes")
totaling $50,000 to accredited investors. The December 10% Notes accrue interest
at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and matured on March 15, 2007. Such
notes are convertible into shares of restricted common stock at any time at the
election of the holder at a fixed conversion price of $0.17 per share for any
conversion occurring on or before the maturity date. In addition, upon issuance,
we issued five-year Warrants ("December 10% Note Warrants") to purchase a number
of shares equal to the number of shares into which the December 10% Notes can be
converted at a fixed exercise price of $0.17. Additionally, if the December 10%
Note Warrants were exercised prior to December 15, 2007, the holder would have
received an additional warrant on the same terms as the December 10% Note
Warrants on a one to one basis. The warrants can be settled in unregistered
shares of our common stock. The December 10% Note Warrants have been valued
using a Binomial Lattice option pricing model and an associated discount of
$15,627, the relative fair value measured at the commitment date, was recorded
and presented net against the face amount of the December 10% Notes. The
convertible feature of the December 10% Notes provides for an effective
conversion rate that is below market value. Pursuant to EITF No. 98-5 and EITF
No. 00-27, we estimated the fair value of such beneficial conversion feature to
be $34,373 and recorded such amount as a debt discount. The discounts associated
with the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature were accreted to
interest expense over the term of the December 10% Notes.
On May 1, 2008, a holder of $33,000 of the December 10% Notes converted his
$33,000 principal amount and accrued interest of $6,325 at the agreed conversion
rate of $0.17 per share. As a result, we issued 232,033 shares of common stock
under this conversion.
At September 30, 2008, $17,000 of the December 10% Notes remained outstanding
and were in default.
10% SERIES A CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND AMENDMENT
From July 11, 2005 through December 15, 2005 we received cash investments
totaling $1,000,000 from accredited investors based on agreed-upon terms reached
on the cash receipt dates. Such investments were documented in November and
December 2005 in several 10% Series A Convertible Promissory Notes. The 10%
Series A Convertible Notes accrue interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum and matured on January 2, 2007. The 10% Series A Convertible Notes were
convertible into shares of our common stock at any time at the election of the
holder at a fixed conversion price equal to $0.20 per share for any conversion
occurring on or prior to the maturity date.
On November 2007, we entered into Amended and Restated 10% Series A Convertible
Promissory Notes (the "Amended Notes") with the holders of certain promissory
notes that we previously issued (the "Prior Notes"), and all amendments to the
Prior Notes.
The Amended Notes, in the principal amount of $1,000,000, are convertible into
an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and mature on February 15,
2009. The Amended Notes provide for the payment of accrued and default interest
through December 31, 2007 in the aggregate amount of $295,248 to be paid in
units ("Units") at a fixed rate of $0.20 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one
share of our Common Stock and one Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the
"Class A Warrant") to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a fixed exercise
price of $0.20 per share. If the Holders exercise the Class A Warrants on or
before February 15, 2010, we will issue them one Class B Common Stock Purchase
Warrant (the "Class B Warrant") for every two Class A Warrants exercised. The
Class B Warrants will have a fixed exercise price of $0.60 per share.
The Amended Notes also provided for the payment of liquidated damages through
November 29, 2007 in the aggregate amount $269,336 to be paid in units ("Damages
Units") at a fixed rate of $0.40 per Damages Unit, each Damages Unit consisting
of one share of our Common Stock and one Class A-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrant
(the "Class A-1 Warrant") to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a fixed
exercise price of $0.40 per share. If the Holders exercise the Class A-1
Warrants on or before February 15, 2010, we will issue them one Class B-1 Common
Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Class B-1 Warrant") for every two Class A-1
Warrants exercised. The Class B-1 Warrants will have a fixed exercise price of
$0.40 per share.
In addition, the Amended Notes provided for the issuance of Class A Principal
Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Class A Principal Warrant") to purchase an
aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our Common Stock on the same terms as the Class
A Warrants.
A-12
The following table summarizes the number of shares of the our Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the Amended Notes or the exercise of the various
warrants issued or issuable pursuant to the Amended Notes.
Note Conversion 5,000,000
Accrued Interest 1,476,242
Liquidated Damages 673,340
Class A Warrants 1,476,242
Class A-1 Warrants 673,340
Class A Principal Warrants 5,000,000
Class B Warrants 738,121
Class B-1 Warrants 336,670
------------
Total 15,373,955
============
We were obligated to register the shares underlying the Class A Warrants, the
Class A-1 Warrants and the Class A Principal Warrants with the SEC by March 31,
2008, and the shares underlying the Class B Warrants and to register the Class
B-1 Warrants with the SEC by the 30th day following the issuance date of such
warrants. Since we failed to effect a registration statement by March 31, 2008,
we recorded liquidated damages of $15,000 per month through September 30, 2008,
when we stopped recording damages due to the effectiveness of a registration
statement in October 2008.
For accounting purposes, the amendment of the 10% Series A Convertible Notes was
treated as an extinguishment pursuant to EITF Issue No. 06-6. The changes in the
note agreements, conversion feature and warrants were considered substantive as
prescribed in that consensus. Consequently, at the amendment date we initially
recorded an estimated loss on extinguishment of $489,013 as follows:
Reacquisition Price (Fair value of new notes and warrants) $ 5,392,664
Less amounts relieved at date of extinguishment:
Carrying amount of the unamortized notes (166,667)
Carrying amount of derivative liability (4,172,400)
Accrued interest and liquidated damages (564,584)
------------
Loss on extinguishment $ 489,013
============
Subsequently, we engaged a third party valuation firm to value the various
components of the amendment of the Series A Convertible Notes. As a result of
that valuation, we recorded an additional $58,106 of loss on extinguishment of
debt with the offset being recorded to additional paid-in capital.
The new warrants issued in connection with the Amended Notes were evaluated
pursuant to EITF Issue No. 00-19 and classified as equity instruments. In
connection with the new warrants, we recorded $4,392,664 as an increase to
additional paid in capital, based on the estimated fair value at issuance. The
amended conversion feature contains a BCF at the date of the Amended Notes;
consequently, we recorded a discount of $1,000,000 against the notes and a
corresponding increase in additional paid in capital.
In January 2008, one of the holders of the Amended Series A Convertible Notes
converted $100,000 of their notes into 500,000 shares of common stock at the
agreed conversion rate of $0.20 per share.
On July 30, 2008, the holders of the Amended Series A Convertible Notes notified
us that we were in default on the notes due to our failure to register the
warrants by March 31, 2008 and for failing to make required interest payments.
We subsequently registered their warrants under a registration statement
declared effective in October 2008. To satisfy the accrued interest and damages
through September 30, 2008, on September 19, 2008, we issued 966,750 shares of
restricted common stock, valued at the closing price of $0.49, and 966,750
warrants with a strike price of $0.20 in payment of accrued interest of $89,500
and accrued damages of $103,850 per the payment formula in the Loan Agreement.
The difference in value of equity instruments issued upon settlement and the
liabilities settled resulted in a non-cash loss on settlement of $607,908. We
have not yet paid an agreed amount of legal fees, which total $15,379 and are
accrued in our accounts payable, associated with the amendment to the notes.
2008 10% CONVERTIBLE NOTES
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we raised an aggregate amount
of $430,000 from the sale to accredited investors of 10% convertible notes and
warrants (2008 10% Convertible Notes). The notes are convertible into our common
stock at $0.50 per share and the warrants are exercisable at $0.50 per share. We
agreed to pay to the investment banking firm that arranged this sale a cash
commission of seven percent of the proceeds and warrants equal to seven percent
of the gross.
Convertible Notes Payable consists of the following at September 30, 2008:

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL MATTERS
From time to time, claims are made against us in the ordinary course of
business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are
subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as
monetary damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting us from selling
one or more products or engaging in other activities. The occurrence of an
unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect
on our results of operations for that period or future periods. We are not
presently a party to any pending or threatened legal proceedings.
OTHER
We have not filed our income tax returns for certain prior periods. Whereas we
are in the process of remediating this matter, we may be subject to penalties;
however, those amounts are not expected to be significant.
NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 2008, we issued 51,398 registered common shares under our 2000 Stock
Option Plan to two employees as compensation.
In October and November 2008, warrant holders exercised 485,000 warrants with a
strike price of $0.50 per share and received a matching 485,000 restricted
shares of common stock. This generated $242,500 in proceeds.
In June and in November 2008, our Board of Directors approved stock option
grants in an aggregate amount of 4,050,000 shares to certain of our employees,
officers and directors. We have not yet completed the stock option agreement
forms but intend to complete that documentation during the third fiscal quarter
ending December 2008 and expect to record the related stock option expense in
that period.
In October 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective a
registration statement that we filed to fulfill registration obligations on
certain shares and warrants.
