Notes to Financial Statements
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
The accompanying financial statements of Dais Analytic Corporation are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state the Companys financial position, results of operations, stockholders deficit and cash flows as of and for the dates and periods presented. The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information.
The unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted although the Company generally believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarters or for the entire year ending December 31, 2011.
1. | Background Information |
Dais Analytic Corporation (the Company), a New York corporation, has developed and is commercializing applications using its nano-structure polymer technology. The first commercial product is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) (cores and systems) for use in commercial Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) applications. In addition to direct sales, the Company licenses its nano-structured polymer technology to strategic partners in the aforementioned application and is in various stages of development with regard to other applications employing its base technologies. The Company was incorporated in April 1993 with its corporate headquarters located in Odessa, Florida.
2. | Going Concern |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,282,145. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $38,920,107, negative working capital of $1,894,975 and a stockholders deficit of $8,083,205. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt that the Company will continue as a going concern. The recoverability of recorded property and equipment, intangible assets, and other asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements is dependent upon the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends on financing its future activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities and possible exercise of warrants with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. | Significant Accounting Policies |
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, (b) the financial position at March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, and (c) cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, have been made.
The significant accounting policies followed are:
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
7
Accounts receivable - Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from the sale of our ERV products. The Company regularly reviews accounts receivable for any bad debts based on an analysis of the Companys collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. At March 31, 2011, the days sales outstanding was 94, as compared to 93 at December 31, 2010. Based on managements review of accounts receivable, no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Inventory - Inventory consists primarily of raw materials and is stated at the lower of cost, determined by first-in, first-out method, or market. Market is determined based on the net realizable value, with appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other factors.
Revenue recognition - Generally, the Company recognizes revenue for its products upon shipment to customers, provided no significant obligations remain and collection is probable. This policy applies to all of our customers, including Genertec America (a distribution agreement) and CAST Systems Control Technology Co. (an agreement for the purchase of specific goods). During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, four customers accounted for approximately 57% and 58% of revenues, respectively.
Our ConsERV product typically carries a warranty of two years for all parts contained therein with the exception of the energy recovery ventilator core which typically carries a 10 year warranty. The warranty includes replacement of defective parts. The Company has recorded an accrual of approximately $14,000 for future warranty expenses at March 31, 2011.
Revenue derived from the sale of licenses is deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license, or until the license arrangement is terminated. The Company recognized revenue of $20,500 and $20,530 from license agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Employee stock based compensation - The Company recognizes all share-based awards to employees, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The value of each award is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option model with the following assumptions for awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2011:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 |
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 |
|||||||
Dividend rate |
0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
Risk free interest rate |
2.70 | % | 3.68 | % | ||||
Expected term |
6.5 years | 6.5 years | ||||||
Expected volatility |
101 | % | 107 | % |
The basis for the above assumptions are as follows: the dividend rate is based upon the Companys history of dividends; the risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant; the expected term was calculated based on the Companys historical pattern of options granted and the period of time they are expected to be outstanding; and expected volatility was calculated by review of a peer companys historical activity.
Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated forfeitures at 0% for each the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
8
Non-employee stock-based compensation - The Companys accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring , or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services, now ASC 505 and EITF 00-18 Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees, now ASC 505. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendors performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC 718. The fair value of common stock issued for services is based on the closing stock price on the date the common stock was issued. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company issued 17,500 shares of common stock valued at $6,475 for services rendered. The Company did not issue any non-employee stock based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Research and development expenses and grant proceeds - Expenditures for research, development and engineering of products are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred research and development costs of approximately $163,400. The Company accounts for proceeds received from government grants for research as a reduction in research and development costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded approximately $161,400 in grant proceeds against research and development expenses on the statement of operations. No such grant proceeds were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Government grants - Grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that any conditions associated with the grant will be met. When grants are received related to Property and Equipment, the Company reduces the basis of the assets resulting in lower depreciation expense over the life of the associated asset. Grants received related to expenses are reflected as a reduction of the associated expense in the period in which the expense is incurred.
Financial instruments - Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entitys own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2011. The Company uses the market approach to measure fair value for its Level 1 financial assets and liabilities, which include cash equivalents of $23,627 at March 31, 2011. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities.
The respective carrying value of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Companys notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.

Income taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed on the basis of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for tax uncertainties under the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 Uncertainty in Income Taxes (ASC 740-10). The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
Loss per share - Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered antidilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. At March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had 54,636,713 and 36,711,222 potentially dilutive common shares, respectively, which were not included in the computation of loss per share.
Derivative financial instruments - The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible promissory note instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 Derivative and Hedging (ASC 815) to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.
10
Freestanding warrants issued by the Company in connection with the issuance or sale of debt and equity instruments are considered to be derivative instruments and are evaluated and accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010 to conform to the presentation as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. This new guidance requires a creditor performing an evaluation of whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, to separately conclude that both (i) the restructuring constitutes a concession and (ii) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. This standard clarifies the guidance on a creditors evaluation of whether it has granted a concession as well as the guidance on a creditors evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The update also requires entities to disclose additional quantitative activity regarding troubled debt restructurings of finance receivables that occurred during the period, as well as additional information regarding troubled debt restructurings that occurred within the previous twelve months and for which there was a payment default during the current period. The new accounting guidance is effective beginning July 1, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to January 1, 2011. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present or future financial statements.

Notes Payable
In December 2009, we secured a 10% loan in the principal amount of $1,000,000 from an investor. Pursuant to the terms of the note, we are to pay the holder simple interest at the rate of ten percent per annum commencing on the date of issuance with all interest and principal due and payable in cash on or before June 17, 2010. The notes maturity date was extended to April 30, 2011. On March 22, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Amendment and Exchange Agreement and an Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note (Convertible Note, collectively Exchange Agreements) with this investor. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreements, the Company and the Investor amended and restated the $1,000,000 unsecured promissory note to, among other things, add a conversion option and extend the maturity date to March 22, 2012 (as amended and restated, the 2011 Convertible Note). Interest in the amount of 10% per annum, commencing on December 17, 2009 and calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $1,000,000 will be due in full on March 22, 2012. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2011 Convertible Note, including limitations on conversion, the outstanding principal and interest under the 2011 Convertible Note will automatically convert into shares of the Companys common stock at the then-effective conversion price upon the closing of a qualified firm commitment underwritten public offering or may be voluntarily converted by the investor at anytime during the debt term. The initial conversion price is $0.26 per share, which is subject to adjustment for standard anti-dilution provisions. Any principal or interest which is not converted will be repaid by the Company at the earlier of a qualified offering, (as defined in the 2011 Convertible Note which is filed as an exhibit to the Form 8K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2011), or March 22, 2012. Pursuant to and during the term of the 2011 Convertible Note, the Company will not issue or allow to exist any obligation for borrowed money, except for subordinate indebtedness in payment and priority, trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, purchase money secured indebtedness for equipment or inventory, unsecured and subordinate, or unsecured and subordinate working capital guarantees provided by, the Export Import Bank of the United States (the EXIM Bank), and indebtedness evidenced by the promissory note dated February 19, 2010 issued to RBC Capital Markets- Custodian of Leonard Samuels IRA (as amended) in the principal amount of $620,000.
On March 22, 2011, in connection with the above Exchange Agreements, the Company entered into an Amendment to the 2007 Warrant and an Amendment to the 2009 Warrant to extend the terms of the Stock Purchase Warrant, dated on or about December 31, 2007, and the term of the Stock Purchase Warrant, dated on or about March 12, 2009, respectively, to March 22, 2016 and to provide for cashless exercise unless such warrant shares are registered for resale under a registration statement. In addition, on March 22, 2011, the Company issued an additional Stock Purchase Warrant to the Investor to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.45 per share, exercisable commencing on the earliest of the consummation of the qualified offering (as defined in the Exchange Agreements), the date of conversion of the Convertible Note in full, or the date of conversion of the Convertible Note by the Investor in the greatest number of shares of the Companys common stock not to exceed 9.99% beneficial ownership of Company outstanding common stock and terminating on March 22, 2016.
The 2011 Convertible Note is a hybrid financial instruments that blends characteristics of both debt and equity securities. The note embodies settlement alternatives to the holder providing for either redemption of principal and interest in cash (forward component) or conversion into the Companys common stock (embedded conversion feature). The forward component was valued using the present value of discounted cash flows arising from the contractual principal and interest payment terms and the embedded conversion feature was valued using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The fair value of the 2011 Convertible Note was estimated to be $1,964,905 on the date of the exchange, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $964,905. Further, in accordance with ASC 470-20-25 and ASC 470-50-40, the net premium of $964,905 associated with the 2011 Convertible Note was reclassified to capital in excess of par value under the presumption that such net premium represented a capital contribution. Consequently, the 2011 Convertible Note is being carried at face value. The fair value of the additional warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares and the value associated with the previously issued warrants that were amended was determined to be $716,890 using the Black-Scholes option model and is included in the aggregate loss on extinguishment of $1,681,795. Since the loan is held by a related party, the loss on extinguishment has been treated as a capital transaction and, as a result, this transaction had no net effect on capital in excess of par value.
Also, on March 22, 2011, the Company entered into a 10% Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, Secured Convertible Promissory Note and Patent Security Agreement (Financing Agreements) with the Investor. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Financing Agreements, the Investor has provided a bridge loan in the amount of $1,500,000 (Loan) to the Company, which is secured by all patents, patent applications and similar protections of the Company and all rents, royalties, license fees and accounts with respect to such intellectual property assets (collateral). Pursuant to the Secured Convertible Promissory Note (Secured Note), interest in the amount of 10% per annum, calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $1,500,000 is due and payable on March 22, 2012, but repayment is accelerated upon a qualified offering (as defined in the note). In the event of such qualified offering, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Secured Note, the outstanding principal and interest under the Secured Note will automatically convert, subject to the limitations on conversion described in the note, into shares of the Companys common stock at the then-effective conversion price upon the closing of such qualified offering. The initial conversion price is $0.26 per share which is subject to adjustment for standard anti-dilution provisions. Any principal or interest which is not converted will be repaid by the Company at the earlier of a qualified offering or March 22, 2012. No cash fees were paid to any party to the transaction in exchange for lending the money.
12
On March 22, 2011, in connection with the Financing Agreements, the Company issued a Stock Purchase Warrant to the Investor to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.45 per share, exercisable until March 22, 2016. The Warrant was fair valued on the date of issuance, which amounted to $1,204,787. The warrant value was recorded as a debt discount based on the relative fair value of the warrant to the total proceeds received, which amounted to $435,240. The Warrant was fair valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. In addition, the debt contained a beneficial conversion feature, which was valued at the date of issuance at $1,762,163; however, since this amount is in excess of the net value of the debt less the warrant discount, the beneficial conversion feature will be limited to $1,064,760 and recorded as a discount on the loan. The total debt discount of $1,500,000 is being amortized using the effective interest method over the 12-month term of the Secured Note. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recognized $117,819 in additional interest expense representing amortization of this debt discount.
Pursuant to and during the term of the Secured Note, the Company will not issue or permit to exist any obligation for borrowed money, except for trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, purchase money secured indebtedness for equipment or inventory, unsecured and subordinate indebtedness to, or unsecured and subordinate working capital guarantees provided by, the EXIM Bank, the promissory note dated February 19, 2010 issued to RBC Capital Markets- Custodian of Leonard Samuels IRA (as amended) in the principal amount of $620,000, the Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note, dated March 22, 2011, issued to the Investor in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and other unsecured indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount not to exceed $750,000.
Pursuant to the Patent Security Agreement issued in connection with the Note and Warrant Purchase of March 22, 2011, the Company shall not, without the Investors prior consent, sell, dispose or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Collateral, except for license grants in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company will take all actions reasonably necessary to prosecute to allowance applications for patents and maintain all patents, and to seek to recover damages for infringement, misappropriation or dilution of the Collateral with limited exceptions.
In connection with such qualified offering, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Note, the Company will use reasonable efforts to include the Investors securities in such offering. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreements, the Investor will not, if requested in writing by the underwriter, sell, offer to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to affiliates) any securities of the Company held by it for a period of 180 days from the date of the final prospectus relating to such qualified offering, except for certain limited sales as more fully described in the Exchange Agreements.
The Company secured a loan from an investor in the principal amounts of $620,000. The Company issued the lender an unsecured promissory note with respect to said loan on February 19, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the Company is to pay the holder simple interest at the rate ten percent per annum commencing on the date of issuance with all interest and principal due and payable in cash on or before August 10, 2010, which has been extended to May 31, 2011. After receipt of proceeds on the foregoing loans, we may not incur more than $500,000 in debt without the holders prior approval and said additional debt may not be senior to these promissory notes without holders permission. During the term of the note, the note holder has the right to participate, by investing additional funds the total amount of which may not exceed the outstanding balance of the holders note, in any subsequent financings undertaken by the Company. Any such participation shall be upon the same terms as provided for in the subsequent financing. If an event of default were to occur and said default is not cured within the allotted period, the holders may declare all principal and accrued and unpaid interest due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice. Further, in addition to all remedies available under law, each holder may in the event of a default opt to convert the principal and interest outstanding under its note into any debt or equity security which Company issued after the date of its note and prior to the date of full payment of its note in accordance with the same terms as the subsequent financing.

8. | Genertec Agreement |
On August 21, 2009, we entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Genertec, under which we are to supply and Genertec is to distribute, on an exclusive basis, three of our nanotechnology-based membrane products and related products in Great China, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The agreement provides that during the initial term of the agreement, Genertec will order and purchase these products in the aggregate amount of Two Hundred Million U.S. Dollars. A minimum quantity of said products is to be purchased by Genertec during each contract year of the initial term. In the event Genertec fails to purchase the minimum amount of products in any given year, we may convert the exclusivity provided to Genertec to a non-exclusive or terminate the agreement. Genertec has agreed to engage and appoint authorized person(s) or firm(s), to install, engineer, perform maintenance, sell and use the products within the defined distribution area and neither Genertec nor its designated buyer is permitted to alter, decompile or modify our products in any way. As consideration for entering into this agreement, Genertec agreed to pay us a deposit in monthly installments beginning in September 2009 and continuing through April 2010. All such payments are to be applied to products purchased by Genertec. During the initial term of the agreement, the parties are to negotiate in good faith a royalty bearing license agreement whereby Genertec may be granted a license to manufacture certain portions of the our products in the designated territory. The initial term of the agreement shall be for a period of five (5) years, commencing on August 21, 2009, unless earlier terminated. Unless notice of termination is delivered to the respective parties 180 days prior to the expiration of the initial term, the Agreement will automatically renew for consecutive one year periods. We may terminate this agreement in the event: (1) Genertec fails to pay the deposit as indicated, (2) Genertec does not purchase the minimum amount of our designated products during any contract year, (3) breach by Genertec of its obligations under the Agreement, or (4) at our discretion immediately upon the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of either the assets of the voting stock of Genertec to any third party. Genertec may not assign the Agreement to any party without our prior written consent. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has $406,356 in accounts receivable and $500,000 in deferred revenue to be applied against future orders. Genertec Americas partners in China have received the product and are continuing to perform tests; however there have been delays in completing this testing process. As a result, Genertec America has not yet begun to order product from the Company under this agreement. The Company is currently meeting with Genertec to resolve the payment of the receivable and expects that the amounts will be collected.

10. | Derivative Financial Instruments |
In September 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on EITF Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock (EITF 07-5) (codified as ASC 815-40-15-5). This EITF provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entitys own stock. The EITF applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all the characteristics of a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-13 through 15-130, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for purposes of determining whether that instrument or embedded feature qualifies for the first part of the scope exception. The EITF also applies to any freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in an entitys own stock, regardless of whether the instrument has all the characteristics of a derivative under ASC 815-10-13 through 15-130, for purposes of determining whether the instrument is within the scope of EITF No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock (EITF 00-19) (codified as ASC subtopic 815-40). EITF No. 07-5 was effective beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Due to certain adjustments that may be made to the exercise price of the warrants issued in December 2007, January 2008 and August 2008 if the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock at a price which is less than the then current warrant exercise price, these warrants have been classified as a liability as opposed to equity in accordance with the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC 815-10-15 as it was determined that these warrants were not indexed to the Companys stock. As a result, the fair market value of these warrants was remeasured on January 1, 2009 and marked to market at each subsequent financial reporting period. The change in fair value of the warrants is recorded in the statement of operations and is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

All warrants issued by the Company other than the above noted warrants are classified as equity.
During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company applied the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 815-40 (ASC 815-40) and recorded a $618,801 gain on the fair value of the warrant liability for the year then ended. The warrants had been issued in December 2007, January 2008 and August 2008, in connection with convertible promissory notes and were originally accounted for as an equity instrument. Upon further review of the warrants, it was determined that these warrants were not indexed to the Companys stock and therefore required derivative accounting treatment. Accordingly, the Company has restated its financial statements to reflect the proper accounting treatment. If the Company would have recorded these warrants as a derivative liability upon initial adoption of ASC 815-40, the Company would have recorded the following amounts in the accompanying balance sheet and income statement:

11. | Subsequent Events |
The Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Timothy N. Tangredi, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and director, dated as of April 11, 2011. Mr. Tangredis employment agreement provides for an initial term of three years with the term extending on the second anniversary thereof for an additional one year period and on each subsequent anniversary of the agreement for an additional year period. Mr. Tangredis initial base salary is $170,000, with an increase to $220,000 per annum or a higher sum as our board of directors may set after the date on which we obtain $10 million or more in equity or debt financing. If our market capitalization at the end of the calendar year is more than two times greater than the year before Mr. Tangredi is to receive a cash payment of 2% of the difference in capitalization from last year to the current year. Additionally, at the discretion of our board of directors and its compensation committee, Mr. Tangredi may be eligible for an annual bonus which amount, if any, will not be below 100% of his effective base salary and not exceeding 300% of his then effective base salary; provided that, under certain extraordinary circumstances, Mr. Tangredi may be eligible for an annual bonus greater than 300% of his then effective base salary. Mr. Tangredi is entitled to medical, disability and life insurance, as well as 4 weeks of vacation annually, an automobile allowance of $800 per month, reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses, automobile insurance and maintenance and up to $7,500 for one executive conference or educational venue.
For each product for which we commence commercial sale or licensing during the term and receives more than $1 million of revenue during any 12 month period, Mr. Tangredi, in addition to any other compensation which he may receive under the agreement, shall be granted options to purchase a minimum of 250,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to either (i) the lower of: (a) $.50 per share or (b) the fair market value per share of the stock on the date of grant as determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, if we have not conducted a secondary public offering prior to the date of grant, or (ii) at an exercise price equal to 75% of the market price of the common stock, if we have completed a secondary public offering of our common stock prior to the date of grant (with the market price to be the average of the closing sale prices during the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant of the option).
19
In the event that the fair market value of our common stock (the average of the closing prices of the common stock for any five consecutive trading days, as reported by the principal exchange or other stock market on which the common stock is then traded) equals or exceeds 200% of the price at which we sell common stock in a secondary public offering (the Target Value) at any time during the term of the agreement, Mr. Tangredi shall be granted options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to 75% of the Target Value, on terms identical to the options provided for above.
In April 2011, the Company entered into an employment agreement with the Companys General Counsel. The employment term is for four years with automatic renewals. The agreement includes an annual base salary of $120,000 with an increase to $150,000 upon completion of a successful Initial Public Offering of at least $10 million. The agreement also provides for a minimum of 50,000 options to be awarded annual along with other standard employment benefits.
On May 12, 2011, the holder of a promissory note issued by Dais Analytic Corporation (the Company) elected to apply all of the proceeds due and payable to the holder pursuant to such note in the principal amount of $620,000, plus accrued interest, to purchase the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock). The investor subscribed for and purchased from the Company 2,667,503 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.26 per share, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $693,550 (the principal amount and related accrued interest under the note). As part of the purchase, the investor also received a five-year warrant to purchase 962,500 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $.45 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable and subject to adjustment for standard anti-dilution events, including but not limited to stock dividends, split-up, reclassification or combination of Companys shares, exchange of stock for other Company stock, or certain capital reorganizations or reclassification of the capital stock or consolidation, merger or sale of substantially all Companys assets. In addition, as part of this transaction, the warrants issued to this investor on December 20, 2007 and December 31, 2007 were amended to include a cashless exercise provision.
No other material subsequent events have occurred since March 31, 2011 that requires recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

OVERVIEW
We have developed and patented a nano-structure polymer technology, which is being commercialized in products based on the functionality of these materials. We believe the applications of our technology have promise in a number of diverse market segments and products.
The initial product focus of the Company is ConsERV, an energy recovery ventilator. Our primary focus is to expand our marketing and sales of our ConsERV products. We also have new product applications in various developmental stages. We believe that three of these additional product applications, including an advanced air conditioning system which is projected to use less energy and emit fewer emissions than most current HVAC equipment, a water clean-up process that may be useful in the creation of potable water from sea, brackish or waste water and an electrical energy storage device, may be brought to market in the foreseeable future if we receive adequate capital funding.
We expect ConsERV to continue to be our focused commercial product through 2011 with a growing emphasis on moving the development of the NanoClear and NanoAir technologies towards commercialization.
REVENUES
We generate our revenues primarily from the sale of our ConsERV products in largely commercial HVAC markets with a small amount of revenue coming from residential sales to consumers and HVAC distributors. Sales channels for our ConsERV products include OEMs, distributors, retailers, and consumers. We also occasionally license our technology to strategic partners and sell various prototypes of other product applications that use our polymer technology.
Our near term revenue growth is dependent on continued sales from (i) more seasoned independent sales representatives, (ii) a greater number of independent sales representatives (iii) fulfilling the ventilation needs of the growing energy consultant marketplace which work to lower their clients energy costs and emissions, and (iv) from the Companys own customer direct sales activities, all of which focus on the sale of product primarily into the commercial user marketplace with a growing emphasis on low rise structures (small commercial buildings, multi-purpose structures, and residences). In addition, the Company and its independent sales representative sales force will work to secure orders for ConsERV core only sales (i) from HVAC equipment manufacturers, (ii) from distribution firms servicing the equipment needs of the HVAC installer community, and (iii) creating license/supply relationships with HVAC or ERV OEMs preferably having a dominant presence in existing direct related sales channels.
COST OF SALES
Our cost of sales consists primarily of materials (including freight), direct labor, and outsourced manufacturing expenses incurred to produce our ConsERV products.
We are dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for our nano-structured based materials and value added products made with these materials. Accordingly, a suppliers failure to supply components in a timely manner, or to supply components that meet our quality, quantity and cost requirements or our technical specifications, or the inability to obtain alternative sources of these components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us, would create delays in production of our products or increase our unit costs of production. Certain of the components contain proprietary products of our suppliers, or the processes used by our suppliers to manufacture these components are proprietary. If we are required to replace any of our suppliers, while we should be able to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers at comparable costs, it would create a delay in production.
21
Our cost of sales may fluctuate due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
| A change in key suppliers or the prices that they charge for the fundamental components of our ConsERV products; |
| An increase in the labor resources needed to expand the production of our ConsERV products; |
| Commercialization of new product applications of our polymer technology; |
| Continued technological improvements in key materials or configuration(s) to reduce our per unit cost structure; and |
| Additional outsourcing of our manufacturing and assembly processes with strategic partners to reduce our per unit cost structure. |
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related benefits, share-based compensation, professional fees, marketing and channel support costs, and other infrastructure costs such as insurance, information technology and occupancy expenses.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:
| Additional expenses as a result of being a reporting company including, but not limited to, director and officer insurance, director fees, SEC reporting and compliance expenses, transfer agent fees, additional staffing, professional fees and similar expenses; |
| Additional infrastructure needed to support the expanded commercialization of our ConsERV products and/or new product applications of our polymer technology for, among other things, administrative personnel, physical space, marketing and channel support and information technology; and |
| The fair value of new share-based awards, which is based on various assumptions including, among other things, the volatility of our stock price |

Summary of Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Results of Operations
REVENUES: Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $858,694 and $407,312, respectively, an increase of $451,382 or 111%. The increase in revenues in the 2011 period is primarily attributable to an increase in ConsERV core sales by 94% and an increase in ConsERV System sales by 125%. The increases were due to generating additional sales in product enhancements and an increase in the number and size of its sales transactions in 2011 compared to 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, four customers accounted for approximately 57% and 58% of revenues, respectively.
COST OF GOODS SOLD: Cost of goods sold increased $379,564 to $700,890 and represented 82% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $321,326 or 79% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Gross profit margin decreased from 21% in 2010 to 18% in 2011. The decrease in the gross profit margin was due to an increase in the cost of materials due to the economy. The Company also had an increase in the cost of contract labor of approximately $22,000 and an increase in the cost of freight by approximately $13,000.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: Selling, general and administrative expenses of $922,297 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $376,916 from $545,381 in the same period of 2010 or 68%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in stock based compensation by approximately $340,000 and an increase in advertising expense of approximately $22,000.
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense was $163,539 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $46,510 for the same period of 2010, an increase of $117,029. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, $117,819 of interest expense was related to the amortization of the note discount and embedded beneficial conversion feature on a convertible note.
CHANGE IN FAIR VALUE OF WARRANT LIABILITY: The change in the fair value of warrant liability increased by $844,079 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $2,352,106 from $1,508,027 in the prior period ended March 31, 2010 due to the change in the fair value of the underlying warrant liability based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 10 in the accompanying Financial Statements.
NET LOSS: Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by $1,254,080 to $3,282,145 from $2,028,065 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in net loss is primarily due to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, interest expense and the change in fair value of warrant liability as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company finances its operations primarily through sales of its ConsERV products, sales of its common stock, the issuance of convertible promissory notes, unsecured promissory notes and license agreements.
Our historical revenues have not been sufficient to sustain our operations. We have not achieved profitability in any year since inception and we expect to continue to incur net losses and negative cash flow from operations until we can produce sufficient revenues to cover our costs, which are not expected for several years. Furthermore, even if we achieve our goal of selling a greater number of ConsERV units, we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses until we can cost-effectively produce and sell our products to a wider market. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our ConsERV products and any future products we develop. No assurances can be given when this will occur.
We have filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a contemplated public offering of common stock for gross proceeds of up to fifteen million dollars. We have engaged MDB Capital Group LLC to be the underwriter of this public offering. However, we have not entered into an underwriting agreement with MDB Capital Group LLC, and we may not be able to consummate a public offering. As disclosed in our registration statement, we intend to use the proceeds of the public offering for working capital, general corporate purposes and repayment of certain outstanding indebtedness.
23
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, $50,000 of principal on the Convertible Notes was outstanding, in default and due and payable in full. On March 23, 2011 this note was paid in full by Company. As of the date of this filing all Convertible Notes issued under the Financing have been paid in full or converted.
In December 2009, we secured a 10% loan in the principal amount of $1,000,000 from an investor. Pursuant to the terms of the note, we are to pay the holder simple interest at the rate of ten percent per annum commencing on the date of issuance with all interest and principal due and payable in cash on or before June 17, 2010. The notes maturity date was extended to April 30, 2011. On March 22, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Amendment and Exchange Agreement and an Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note (2011 Convertible Note, collectively Exchange Agreements) with this investor. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreements, the Company and the Investor amended and restated the $1,000,000 unsecured promissory note issued by the Company to Investor on or about December 17, 2009 (Original Note) to, among other things, add a conversion option to the Original Note and extend maturity date to March 22, 2012. Interest in the amount of 10% per annum, commencing on December 17, 2009 and calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $1,000,000 will be due in full on March 22, 2012. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2011 Convertible Note, including limitations on conversion, the outstanding principal and interest under the 2011 Convertible Note will automatically convert into shares of the Companys common stock at the then-effective conversion price upon the closing of a qualified firm commitment underwritten public offering or may be voluntarily converted by the investor at anytime during the debt term. The initial conversion price is $0.26 per share. Any principal or interest which is not converted will be repaid by the Company at the earlier of a qualified offering, (as defined in the 2011 Convertible Note which is filed as an exhibit to the Form 8K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2011 and is incorporated by reference to this annual report on Form 10K), or March 22, 2012. Pursuant to and during the term of the 2011 Convertible Note, the Company will not issue or allow to exist any obligation for borrowed money, except for subordinate indebtedness in payment and priority, trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, purchase money secured indebtedness for equipment or inventory, unsecured and subordinate, or unsecured and subordinate working capital guarantees provided by, the Export Import Bank of the United States (the EXIM Bank), and indebtedness evidenced by the promissory note dated February 19, 2010 issued to RBC Capital Markets- Custodian of Leonard Samuels IRA (as amended) in the principal amount of $620,000.
On March 22, 2011, in connection with the above Exchange Agreements, the Company entered into an Amendment to 2007 Warrant and an Amendment to 2009 Warrant to extend the term of the Stock Purchase Warrant, dated on or about December 31, 2007, and the term of the Stock Purchase Warrant, dated on or about March 12, 2009, respectively, to March 22, 2016 and to provide for cashless exercise unless such warrant shares are registered for resale under a registration statement. In addition, on March 22, 2011, the Company issued an additional Stock Purchase Warrant to the Investor to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.45 per share, exercisable commencing on the earliest of the consummation of the qualified offering (as defined in the Exchange Agreements), the date of conversion of the 2011 Convertible Note in full, or the date of conversion of the 2011 Convertible Note by the Investor in the greatest number of shares of the Companys common stock not to exceed 9.99% beneficial ownership of Company outstanding common stock and terminating on March 22, 2016.
The 2011 Convertible Note is a hybrid financial instruments that blends characteristics of both debt and equity securities. The note embodies settlement alternatives to the holder providing for either redemption of principal and interest in cash (forward component) or conversion into the Companys common stock (embedded conversion feature). The forward component was valued using the present value of discounted cash flows arising from the contractual principal and interest payment terms and the embedded conversion feature was valued using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The fair value of the 2011 Convertible Note was estimated to be $1,964,905 on the date of the exchange, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $964,905. Further, in accordance with ASC 470-20-25 and ASC 470-50-40, the net premium of $964,905 associated with the 2011 Convertible Note was reclassified to capital in excess of par value under the presumption that such net premium represented a capital contribution. Consequently, the 2011 Convertible Note is being carried at face value. The fair value of the additional warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares and the value associated with the previously issued warrants that were amended was determined to be $716,890 using the Black-Scholes option model and is included in the aggregate loss on extinguishment of $1,681,795. Since the loan is held by a related party, the loss on extinguishment has been treated as a capital transaction and, as a result, this transaction had no net effect on capital in excess of par value.
24
Also, on March 22, 2011, the Company entered into a 10% Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, Secured Convertible Promissory Note and Patent Security Agreement (Financing Agreements) with the Investor. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Financing Agreements, the Investor has provided a bridge loan in the amount of $1,500,000 (Loan) to the Company, which will is secured by all patents, patent applications and similar protections of the Company and all rents, royalties, license fees and accounts with respect to such intellectual property assets (collateral). Pursuant to the Secured Convertible Promissory Note (Secured Note), interest in the amount of 10% per annum, calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $1,500,000 is due and payable on March 22, 2012, but repayment is accelerated upon a qualified offering (as defined in the note). In the event of such qualified offering, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Secured Note, the outstanding principal and interest under the Secured Note will automatically convert, subject to the limitations on conversion described in the note, into shares of the Companys common stock at the then-effective conversion price upon the closing of such qualified offering. The initial conversion price is $0.26 per share. Any principal or interest which is not converted will be repaid by the Company at the earlier of a qualified offering or March 22, 2012. No cash fees were paid to any party to the transaction in exchange for lending the money.
On March 22, 2011, in connection with the Financing Agreements, the Company issued a Stock Purchase Warrant to the Investor to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.45 per share, exercisable until March 22, 2016. The Warrant was fair valued on the date of issuance, which amounted to $1,204,787. The warrant value was recorded as a debt discount based on the relative fair value of the warrant to the total proceeds received, which amounted to $668,142. Warrant was fair valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. In addition, the debt contained a beneficial conversion feature, which was valued at the date of issuance at $2,019,231; however, since this amount is in excess of the net value of the debt less the warrant discount, the beneficial conversion feature will be limited to $831,859 and recorded as a discount on the loan. The total debt discount of $1,500,000 is being amortized using the effective interest method over the 12-month term of the Secured Note and for the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recognized $117,819 in additional interest expense representing amortization of this debt discount.
Pursuant to and during the term of the Secured Note, the Company will not issue or permit to exist any obligation for borrowed money, except for trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, purchase money secured indebtedness for equipment or inventory, unsecured and subordinate indebtedness to, or unsecured and subordinate working capital guarantees provided by, the EXIM Bank, the promissory note dated February 19, 2010 issued to RBC Capital Markets- Custodian of Leonard Samuels IRA (as amended) in the principal amount of $620,000, the Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note, dated March 22, 2011, issued to the Investor in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and other unsecured indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount not to exceed $750,000.
Pursuant to the Patent Security Agreement issued in connection with the Note and Warrant Purchase of March 22, 2011, the Company shall not, without the Investors prior consent, sell, dispose or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Collateral, except for license grants in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company will take all actions reasonably necessary to prosecute to allowance applications for patents and maintain all patents, and to seek to recover damages for infringement, misappropriation or dilution of the Collateral with limited exceptions.
In connection with such qualified offering, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Note, the Company will use reasonable efforts to include the Investors securities in such offering. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreements, the Investor will not, if requested in writing by the underwriter, sell, offer to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to affiliates) any securities of the Company held by it for a period of 180 days from the date of the final prospectus relating to such qualified offering, except for certain limited sales as more fully described in the Exchange Agreements.
The Company secured a loan from an investor in the principal amounts of $620,000. The Company issued the lender an unsecured promissory note with respect to said loan on February 19, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the Company is to pay the holder simple interest at the rate of ten percent per annum commencing on the date of issuance with all interest and principal due and payable in cash on or before August 10, 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the notes maturity date was extended to May 31, 2011.
At maturity, we may not be able to repay all or any of the outstanding notes when due without severely impacting our ability to continue operations and we may not be able to secure additional financing to repay the notes on acceptable terms, if at all. Should we be unable to repay or renegotiate the notes, as an alternative, management could attempt to renegotiate the repayment terms of the notes and seek extension of the maturity dates. There is no guarantee that, if we should need to renegotiate these notes, any negotiated terms we may be able to secure would be favorable to the Company. Unfavorable terms, in either a financing transaction or a debt renegotiation, could adversely impact our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Should we be unable to repay the loan and unsuccessful in securing additional financing or renegotiating the, $1.5 million dollar secured convertible note the holder would have the option to foreclose on all of our patents and patent applications which would likely result in the failure of our business.
25
Any future financing may result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders, and future debt financing, if available, may include restrictive covenants or may require us to grant a lender a security interest in any of our assets not already subject to an existing security interest. To the extent that we attempt to raise additional funds through third party collaborations and/or licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or products currently in various stages of development, or grant licenses or other rights on terms that are not favorable to us. Any failure by us to timely procure additional financing or investment adequate to fund our ongoing operations, including planned product development initiatives and commercialization efforts, will have material adverse consequences on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We will be dependent upon our existing cash of $1,231,120 at March 31, 2011, product sales and additional debt and equity issuances to finance our operations through the next 12 months, including debt service of $2,500,000 and other contractual obligations of approximately $415,400. We need to raise additional capital of approximately $13 million to $18 million, net of costs, during the next eighteen months, the proceeds of which will be used to pay down existing debt, secure new patents for innovative applications of our core technology, purchase equipment, and fund our working capital requirements through September 2012. We currently have no commitments for any such funds. If we are unable to raise the funds we may delay development plans and reduce expenditures wherever possible.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,282,145 and has incurred significant losses since inception. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $38,920,107, negative working capital of $1,894,975 and a stockholders deficit of $8,083,205. The Company used $322,067 and $576,116 of cash from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which was funded by proceeds from debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is currently pursuing the following sources of short and long-term working capital:
1. | We are currently holding preliminary discussions with parties who are interested in licensing, purchasing the rights to, or establishing a joint venture to commercialize, certain applications of our technology. |
2. | We are seeking growth capital from certain strategic and/or government (grant) related sources. In addition to said capital, these sources may, pursuant to any agreements that may be developed in conjunction with such funding, assist in the product definition and design, roll-out, and channel penetration of our products. As part of this step we will attempt to take advantage of key programs associated with the recently enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. |
The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent on our ability to obtain additional sources of cash flow sufficient to fund our working capital requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to secure such cash flow. Any failure by us to timely procure additional financing or investment adequate to fund our ongoing operations, including planned product development initiatives and commercialization efforts, will have material adverse consequences on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Furthermore, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures in place are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis in accordance with applicable Commission rules and regulations; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Certifying Officers and other persons that perform similar functions, if any, to allow us to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure in our periodic filings.
27
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company has enhanced our internal control processes in order to be able to comprehensively review the accounting and disclosure implications of complex, nonstandard transactions on a timely basis. These changes to our internal controls could materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
We are not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings. In the ordinary course of business, we may become a party to various legal proceedings generally involving contractual matters, infringement actions, product liability claims and other matters.
From time to time, claims are made against us in the ordinary course of our 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.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company issued 17,500 shares of common stock valued at $6,475 for services provided. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act.
In December, 2009, we obtained $1,000,000 of financing from Platinum-Montaur Life Sciences, LLC (Investor). Pursuant to the terms of the note, we are to pay the holder simple interest at the rate of ten percent per annum commencing on the date of issuance with all interest and principal due and payable in cash on or before June 17, 2010. The notes maturity date was extended to April 30, 2011. On March 22, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Amendment and Exchange Agreement and an Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note (2011 Convertible Note, collectively Exchange Agreements) with this investor. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreements, the Company and the Investor amended and restated the $1,000,000 unsecured promissory note issued by the Company to Investor on or about December 17, 2009 (Original Note) to, among other things, extend the term to March 22, 2012. Interest in the amount of 10% per annum, commencing on December 17, 2009 and calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $1,000,000 will be paid on March 22, 2012. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2011 Convertible Note, including limitations on conversion, the outstanding principal and interest under the 2011 Convertible Note will automatically convert into shares of the Companys common stock at the then-effective conversion price upon the closing of a qualified firm commitment underwritten public offering or may be voluntarily converted by the investor at anytime during the term. The initial conversion price is $0.26 per share. Any principal or interest which is not converted will be repaid by the Company at the earlier of a qualified offering, (as defined in the 2011 Convertible Note which is filed as an exhibit to the Form 8K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2011), or March 22, 2012. In addition, on March 22, 2011, in connection with the above Exchange Agreements, the Company entered into an Amendment to 2007 Warrant and an Amendment to 2009 Warrant to extend the term of the Stock Purchase Warrant, dated on or about December 31, 2007, and the term of the Stock Purchase Warrant, dated on or about March 12, 2009, respectively, to March 22, 2016 and to provide for cashless exercise unless such warrant shares are registered for resale under a registration statement.

28
Also, on March 22, 2011, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, Secured Convertible Promissory Note and Patent Security Agreement (Financing Agreements) with the above Investor. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Financing Agreements, the Investor has provided a bridge loan in the amount of $1,500,000 (Loan) to the Company, which is secured by all patents, patent applications and similar protections of the Company and all rents, royalties, license fees and accounts with respect to such intellectual property assets. Pursuant to this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (Secured Note), interest in the amount of 10% per annum, calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $1,500,000 will be paid on March 22, 2012, but repayment is accelerated upon a qualified offering (as defined in the note). In the event of such qualified offering, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Secured Note, the outstanding principal and interest under the Secured Note will automatically convert, subject to the limitations on conversion described in the note, into shares of the Companys common stock at the then-effective conversion price upon the closing of such qualified offering. The initial conversion price is $0.26 per share. Any principal or interest which is not converted will be repaid by the Company at the earlier of a qualified offering or March 22, 2012. No cash fees were paid to any party to the transaction in exchange for lending the money.

Item 5. | Other Information |
