PART I
ITEM 1.  
BUSINESS
The Company
We are a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Prior to becoming a shell company we were a development stage biopharmaceutical company, whose activities were focused on the research, development and commercialization of therapies for stroke and other vascular disorders. Our development efforts were focused on our SonoLysis program, which involved the administration of microspheres and ultrasound to break up blood clots and restore blood flow to oxygen deprived tissues. Our commercialization efforts were focused on the promotion and sale of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved urokinase product, Abbokinase®, which we had acquired from Abbott Laboratories.
In June 2008, in response to new risks and challenges facing the Company, we announced a restructuring that included a significant workforce reduction in which all of our employees other than Bradford Zakes, our then president and chief executive officer, and one additional employee were terminated. In furtherance of the June 2008 restructuring we discontinued substantially all research and development activity while evaluating strategic alternatives for funding and continuation of our SonoLysis program and for our other Company assets.
On September 23, 2008, we divested our urokinase business to Microbix Biosystems Inc. for an upfront payment of $2.0 million, the assumption by Microbix of up to $0.5 million in chargeback and other liabilities for commercial product then in the distribution channel and an additional $2.5 million payment from Microbix contingent upon release by the FDA of three lots of urokinase that are currently subject to a May 2008 FDA Approvable Letter. On June 15, 2009, we entered into the First Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement with Microbix which reduced the size of the contingent payment from $2.5 million to $0.2 million contingent upon receipt by Microbix of written authorization from the FDA for the release of the urokinase lots on or before September 1, 2010. As of the date of this report, the FDA has not released the three urokinase lots.
On September 4, 2009, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 15, 2009, we sold to WA 32609, Inc., now Cerevast Therapeutics, Inc., substantially all of our remaining assets and intellectual property, including but not limited to our clinical-stage SonoLysis product candidate for $0.5 million cash. The sale was subject to shareholder approval which was obtained at a special meeting of the shareholders held August 31, 2009. Following the closing of the asset sale to WA 32609, the remaining two employees of the Company, including Mr. Zakes, resigned their positions with the Company.
On March 17, 2010, we entered into an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Stock with Sycamore Films, Inc, a development stage company (“Sycamore Films”) and its shareholders (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) and an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Sycamore Films, Sweet Spot Productions, Inc. (“Sweet Spot”) and Sweet Spot’s shareholders and principals (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Sweet Spot will merge with and into Sycamore Films and the shareholders of Sweet Spot will become shareholders of Sycamore Films. Sycamore Films will continue the operation of the Sweet Spot business.
Immediately following the closing of the Merger Agreement, the purchase and sale of stock between ImaRx and Sycamore Films and it shareholders as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement will be closed. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement we will issue approximately 79,376,735 shares of our common stock to the Sycamore Films shareholders including the former shareholders of Sweet Spot. As a result, Sycamore Films will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ImaRx and the former shareholders of Sycamore Films will hold in the aggregate approximately eighty-six percent (86%) of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis. In connection with the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement all of the members of our current Board of Directors will resign and a new slate of directors and officers will be appointed for both ImaRx and Sycamore Films. At that time, the primary business of the Company will be a full-service distribution and marketing company specializing in acquisition, distribution and the development of marketing campaigns for feature films.
Each of the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Merger Agreement have agreed to certain covenants, including covenants regarding the operation of the business prior to closing and covenants prohibiting the us from soliciting or providing information or entering into discussions concerning proposals relating to alternative offers for the assets or ownership interests in us, except in limited circumstances to permit the our board of directors to comply with its fiduciary duties or as otherwise provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company expects each of the Merger Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement to close in the second quarter of 2010. We have no employees and we are carrying out these activities through the use of consultants and other outside service providers. Mr. Love, our Chairman of the Board is now acting as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.

ITEM 1A.  
RISK FACTORS
The following important factors, among others, could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Unless we are able to generate sufficient product or other revenue, we will continue to incur losses from operations and may never achieve or maintain profitability.
We have a history of net losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception. As of December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $91.9 million. We have incurred losses in each year since our inception. Our net losses applicable to common stockholders for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $0.6 million and $10.1 million, respectively. We currently do not have sufficient cash resources to further product development activities.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have received an audit report from our independent registered accounting firm containing an explanatory paragraph stating that our historical recurring losses from operations which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of $91.9 million at December 31, 2009 raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Merger Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement transactions with Sycamore Films may not close. In that event we will not have sufficient capital to fund our operations beyond the second quarter 2010. If we are not able to close those transactions, we likely will not have sufficient capital to continue our evaluation of strategic transactions or winding down the Company. As a result we may not have the resources necessary to dissolve the Company or to timely pay our debts.
We have sold substantially all of the Company’s assets and are now engaged in the orderly settlement and payment of the remaining obligations of the Company. On March 17, 2010, we entered into an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Stock with Sycamore Films, Inc. and its shareholders (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) and an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Sycamore Films, Sweet Spot, Inc. and Sweet Spot’s shareholders and principals (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Sweet Spot will merge with and into Sycamore Films and the shareholders of Sweet Spot will become shareholders of Sycamore Films. Immediately following the closing of the Merger Agreement, the purchase and sale of stock between ImaRx and Sycamore Films and it shareholders as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement will be closed. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement we will issue approximately 79,376,735 shares of our common stock to the Sycamore shareholders including the former shareholders of Sweet Spot. As a result, Sycamore Films will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ImaRx and the former shareholders of Sycamore will hold in the aggregate approximately eighty-six percent (86%) of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis. The Company has no employees and is carrying out these activities through the use of consultants and other outside service providers. Most of the Company’s resources are being consumed in pursuing this transaction to close. We cannot guaranty that all parties to the transaction will fulfill their obligations and commitments under the respective agreements or that the conditions to closing will be satisfied. In the event we are not successful in consummating the transaction, we will likely not have sufficient resources to seek another strategic transaction or to pursue the orderly liquidation and dissolution of the Company.

If the Merger Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement transactions with Sycamore Films close there is no assurance that the new company management will be successful in implementing their business strategy.
While we are pursuing the successful closing of the strategic transaction with Sycamore Films there can be no assurance that Sycamore Films will be successful in executing its business strategy and that the value of the Company’s shares of common stock will increase. Sycamore Films will need to raise additional working capital to fund its operations which will likely result in substantial dilution to the existing ImaRx stockholders.
We will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements, which may be economically burdensome.
While we are pursuing the successful closing of the strategic transaction with Sycamore Films we have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, even though compliance with such reporting requirements may be economically burdensome and of minimal value to our stockholders. We will be obligated to continue complying with the applicable reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and, as a result, will be required to continue to incur the expenses associated with these reporting requirements, which will reduce the cash available for future activities.
We have no employees. We have entered into consulting relationships. We may not have sufficient personnel to effectively consummate a strategic transaction or to orderly wind down the operations of the Company.
Our ability to consummate the strategic transaction with Sycamore Films for our remaining assets is now dependent on the services of outside consultants and our Board of Directors. Any or all of these persons may sever their ties with the Company at any time and without them we cannot be certain that we will be able to do accomplish our business objectives.
Failure of our internal control over financial reporting could harm our business and financial results.
We have no full-time or part-time employees. All accounting and financial reporting functions are being performed by outside consultants. Mr. Love, the Chairman of the Board is now acting as the principal executive and principal financial officer for the Company. As a result, due to the restructuring plan initiated in June 2008 including the significant reduction in personnel in the accounting, finance and legal function and the subsequent resignation of our remaining two employees upon closing of the sale of substantially all of our assets to WA 32609, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
If we are not able to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting limits our ability to report financial results accurately and timely or to detect and prevent fraud will be limited. A significant financial reporting failure could cause an immediate loss of investor confidence in our management and a sharp decline in the market price of our common stock.
We intend to issue approximately 79,376,735 shares of our common stock to the Sycamore Films shareholders including the former shareholders of Sweet Spot. As a result, Sycamore Films will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ImaRx and the former shareholders of Sycamore Films will hold in the aggregate approximately eighty-six percent (86%) of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis. which will result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Any merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Moreover, the common stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary basis, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially adversely affected

Table of Contents

We cannot assure you that following the strategic transaction with Sycamore Films, our common stock will be listed on NASDAQ or any other securities exchange.
Following the strategic transaction with Sycamore Films we may seek to qualify our common stock for listing on NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange. However, we cannot assure you that following such a transaction, we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or any other stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on either of those or any other stock exchange. After completing a business combination, until our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our common stock will continue to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if it failed to meet the criteria set forth in such rule, imposes various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital following a business combination.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exercise significant influence over our affairs.
Our executive officer, current directors and holders of five percent or more of our common stock own a significant portion of our common stock. These stockholders significantly influence the composition of our Board of Directors, retain the voting power to approve some matters requiring stockholder approval and continue to have significant influence over our operations. The interests of these stockholders may be different than the interests of other stockholders on these matters. This concentration of ownership could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce the price of our common stock.
If our stock price is volatile, purchasers of our common stock could incur substantial losses.
Our stock price is likely to be volatile. The stock market in general and the market for small healthcare companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.
We are at risk of securities class action litigation due to our stock price volatility.
We are at risk of being subject to securities class action lawsuits because our stock price has declined substantially since our July 2007 initial public offering. Securities class action litigation has often been brought against other companies following a decline in the market price of its securities. While no securities class action claims have been brought against us, it is possible that lawsuits will be filed based on such stock price declines naming our company, directors, and officers. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources, and seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If there are substantial sales of common stock, our stock price could decline.
If our existing stockholders sell a large number of shares of common stock or the public market perceives that existing stockholders might sell shares of common stock, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.

The financial reporting obligations of being a public company and other laws and regulations relating to corporate governance matters place significant demands on our management and cause increased costs.
The laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new rules adopted or proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, will result in ongoing costs to us as we comply with new and existing rules and regulations and respond to requirements under such rules and regulations. We are required to comply with many of these rules and regulations, and will be required to comply with additional rules and regulations in the future. With limited capital and human resources, management’s time and attention will be diverted from our business in order to ensure compliance with these regulatory requirements. This diversion of management’s time and attention as well as ongoing legal and compliance costs may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Anti-takeover defenses that we have in place could prevent or frustrate attempts to change our direction or management.
Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws and applicable provisions of Delaware law may make it more difficult or impossible for a third party to acquire control of us without the approval of our Board of Directors. These provisions:
   
limit who may call a special meeting of stockholders;
   
establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our Board of Directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on at stockholder meetings;
   
prohibit cumulative voting in the election of our directors, which would otherwise permit holders of less than a majority of our outstanding shares to elect directors;
   
prohibit stockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders; and
   
provide our Board of Directors the ability to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock without stockholder approval.
In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law generally prohibits us from engaging in any business combination with certain persons who own 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock or any of our associates or affiliates who at any time in the past three years have owned 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock. These provisions may have the effect of entrenching our management team and may deprive stockholders of the opportunity to sell their shares to potential acquirers at a premium over prevailing prices. This potential inability to obtain a control premium could reduce the price of our common stock.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock or other securities, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, our stockholders will not realize a return on their investment unless the trading price of our common stock appreciates. Our common stock price has depreciated significantly since our initial public offering and may continue to depreciate in value. The price of our common stock may never appreciate and our stockholders may never realize gain on their purchase of shares of our common stock.
ITEM 2.  
Properties
We do not presently own or lease any property.
ITEM 3.  
Legal Proceedings
We are not currently subject to any legal proceedings and are also not aware of any pending legal, arbitration or governmental proceedings against us that may have material effects on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 7.  
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.
The statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including statements under this section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, without limitation, statements regarding our or our management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those factors described in greater detail in Item IA of Part I, “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
Overview
We are currently a shell company. We were a development stage biopharmaceutical company, whose activities were focused on the research, development and commercialization of therapies for stroke and other vascular disorders. Our development efforts were focused on our SonoLysis program, which involved the administration of microspheres and ultrasound to break up blood clots and restore blood flow to oxygen deprived tissues. Our commercialization efforts were focused on the promotion and sale of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved urokinase product, Abbokinase(R), which we had acquired from Abbott Laboratories.
In June 2008, in response to new risks and challenges facing the Company, we announced a restructuring that included a significant workforce reduction in which all of our employees other than Bradford Zakes, our then president and chief executive officer, and one additional employee were terminated. In furtherance of the June 2008 restructuring we discontinued substantially all research and development activity while evaluating strategic alternatives for funding and continuation of our SonoLysis program and for our other Company assets.
On September 23, 2008, we divested our urokinase business to Microbix Biosystems Inc. for an upfront payment of $2.0 million, the assumption by Microbix of up to $0.5 million in chargeback and other liabilities for commercial product then in the distribution channel and an additional $2.5 million payment from Microbix contingent upon release by the FDA of three lots of urokinase that are currently subject to a May 2008 FDA Approvable Letter. On June 15, 2009, we entered into the First Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement with Microbix which reduced the size of the contingent payment from $2.5 million to $0.2 million contingent upon receipt by Microbix of written authorization from the FDA for the release of the urokinase lots on or before September 1, 2010. As of the date of this report, the FDA has not released the three urokinase lots.
On September 4, 2009, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 15, 2009, we sold to WA 32609, Inc., now Cerevast Therapeutics, Inc., substantially all of our remaining assets and intellectual property, including but not limited to our clinical-stage SonoLysis product candidate for $0.5 million cash. Following the closing of the asset sale to WA 32609, the remaining two employees of the Company, including Mr. Zakes, resigned their positions with the Company.
On March 17, 2010, we entered into an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Stock with Sycamore Films and Sweet Spot. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Sweet Spot will merge with and into Sycamore Films and the shareholders of Sweet Spot will become shareholders of Sycamore Films. Sycamore Films will continue the operation of the Sweet Spot business.

Table of Contents

Immediately following the closing of the Merger Agreement, the purchase and sale of stock between ImaRx and Sycamore Films and it shareholders as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement will be closed. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement we will issue approximately 79,376,735 shares of our common stock to the Sycamore Films shareholders including the former shareholders of Sweet Spot. As a result, Sycamore Films will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ImaRx and the former shareholders of Sycamore Films will hold in the aggregate approximately eighty-six percent (86%) of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis. In connection with the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement all of the members of our current Board of Directors will resign and a new slate of directors and officers will be appointed for both ImaRx and Sycamore Films. At that time, the primary business of the Company will be a full-service distribution and marketing company specializing in acquisition, distribution and the development of marketing campaigns for feature films.
Each of the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Merger Agreement have agreed to certain covenants, including covenants regarding the operation of the business prior to closing and covenants prohibiting the us from soliciting or providing information or entering into discussions concerning proposals relating to alternative offers for the assets or ownership interests in us, except in limited circumstances to permit the our board of directors to comply with its fiduciary duties or as otherwise provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company expects each of the Merger Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement to close in the second quarter of 2010. We have no employees and we are carrying out these activities through the use of consultants and other outside service providers. Mr. Love, our Chairman of the Board is now acting as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses and other costs and fees associated with our general corporate activities including legal compliance, accounting and corporate governance.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosed amounts of contingent assets and liabilities and our reported revenue and expenses. Significant management judgment was previously required to make estimates in relation to inventory and intangible asset valuation, chargebacks and administrative fee accruals, clinical trial costs and costs associated with transitioning to a public reporting company. We evaluate our estimates, and judgments related to these estimates, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe that the following accounting policies are critical to a full understanding of our reported financial results. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of our financial statements.
Long-lived and Intangible Assets
We account for long-lived assets in accordance with the FASB guidance for accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This guidance addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. It requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the expected future net cash flows generated by the asset. If it is determined that the asset may not be recoverable and if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent of the difference. The guidance requires companies to separately report discontinued operations, including components of an entity that either have been disposed of (by sale, abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
At June 30, 2008, we evaluated our intangible assets for impairment due to the receipt of the Approvable Letter from the FDA and determined that all of the intangible assets were impaired. As such, these intangibles were written off by recording a $1.3 million impairment. We also initiated a plan to sell a portion of our laboratory equipment, which we valued at fair value and recorded a $0.5 million impairment. The assets were classified as held for sale. We completed the sale of $152,000 of assets held for sale for cash of $115,000 and the termination of a lease agreement, which resulted in a reduction of future lease payments of $16,000. We recorded an additional loss on the sale of equipment in this transaction in the amount of $21,000.

On September 4, 2009, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 15, 2009, we sold to WA 32609, Inc. substantially all of our remaining assets, including but not limited to our clinical-stage SonoLysis product candidate for $0.5 million resulting in a gain on sale in the statement of operations of $0.3 million. The final payment of $0.1 million was received on February 18, 2010.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation using the FASB guidance for share-based payment. This guidance requires that share-based payment transactions with employees be recognized in the financial statements based on their value and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.
Our estimate of share-based compensation expense requires a number of complex and subjective assumptions including our stock price volatility, employee exercise patterns, and future forfeitures. The value of a stock option is derived from its potential for appreciation. The more volatile the stock, the more valuable the option becomes because of the greater possibility of significant changes in stock price. The most significant assumptions are our estimates of the expected volatility and the expected term of the award. We use guideline companies and, to a limited extent, experiences of the Company since becoming publicly traded, to determine volatility. For purposes of identifying similar entities, we have considered factors such as industry, company age, stage of life cycle, and size. The expected term of options granted represents the periods of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected option term also has a significant effect on the value of the option. The longer the term, the more time the option holder has to allow the stock price to increase without a cash investment and thus, the more valuable the option. Furthermore, lengthier option terms provide more opportunity to exploit market highs. However, historical data demonstrates that employees, for a variety of reasons, typically do not wait until the end of the contractual term of a nontransferable option to exercise. When establishing an estimate of the expected term of an award, we have elected to use the simplified method of determining expected term as permitted by accounting guidance. As a result of using estimates, when factors change and we use different assumptions, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. We review our valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, from time to time we will likely change the valuation assumptions we use to estimate the value of share-based awards granted in future periods.
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance
Our estimate of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets requires us to make significant estimates and judgments about our future operating results. Our ability to realize the deferred tax assets depends on our future taxable income as well as limitations on utilization. A deferred tax asset must be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized prior to its expiration. The projections of our operating results on which the establishment of a valuation allowance are based involve significant estimates regarding future demand for our products, competitive conditions, product development efforts, approvals of regulatory agencies and product cost. We have recorded a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future. These deferred tax assets primarily consist of net operating loss carry forwards and research and development tax credits. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, substantial changes in our ownership will limit the amount of net operating loss carry-forwards that could be utilized annually, if any, in the future to offset taxable income.
Results of Operations
Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to 2009
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased from $3.1 million in 2008 to $1.0 million in 2009. This decrease is a primarily a result of reduced activities and the termination of the remaining employees in September 2009.
Interest Income. Interest and other income of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 was related to interest earned on cash balances. Interest income of $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 is for interest earned on cash balances.

Gain on Sale of Technology. Gain on sale of technology of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 is from the sale of the SonoLysis and other research and development assets on September 4, 2009.
Net Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations. Net loss from discontinued operations of $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 is the result of the research and development activities performed for our SonoLysis program including clinical trial costs and salaries, other development activities and an asset impairment charge of $10.0 million related to the impairment of all urokinase assets offset partially by a gain on the extinguishment of debt related to our urokinase assets. Net income from discontinued operations of $47,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 is the result of a refund of franchise taxes from the State of Delaware offset by research and development expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
We have incurred losses since our inception. At December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $91.9 million. We have historically financed our operations principally through the public offering and private placement of shares of our common and preferred stock and convertible notes, government grants, and product sales of urokinase. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we received net proceeds of $0.4 million from the sale of our SonoLysis program assets to WA32609. At December 31, 2009, we had $0.1 million in cash and cash equivalents.
In April 2006, we acquired from Abbott Laboratories the assets related to urokinase, including the remaining inventory of finished product, all regulatory and clinical documentation, validated cell lines, and intellectual property rights, including trade secrets and know-how relating to the manufacture of urokinase using the tissue culture method. The purchase price for the assets was $20.0 million, which was paid in the form of $5.0 million in cash and the issuance of a $15.0 million non-recourse promissory note with an initial maturity date of December 31, 2007, which was extended to March 31, 2008. On April 17, 2008, we entered into a satisfaction, waiver and release agreement with Abbott Laboratories regarding payment of the note. Under the terms of the agreement, we were required to pay Abbott Laboratories $5.2 million in cash and upon payment of the funds, the debt obligation was deemed to be indefeasibly paid in full by us and the note was cancelled and returned to us.
On September 23, 2008, we divested our urokinase business to Microbix. Through this transaction, Microbix acquired the remaining urokinase inventory and related assets and assumed full responsibility for ongoing commercial and regulatory activities associated with the product. Microbix paid to us an upfront payment of $2.0 million and assumed up to $0.5 million in chargeback and other liabilities for commercial product currently in the distribution channel. If the assumed chargeback and other liabilities paid by Microbix are less than the $0.5 million assumed, Microbix will issue payment to us for the difference. An additional $0.2 million payment will be made to us upon release by the FDA on or before September 1, 2010 of the three lots of urokinase that are currently subject to a May 2008 Approvable Letter. As of the date of this report, the FDA has not released the three urokinase lots.
Cash Flows
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net used in operating activities was $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net cash used in 2008 primarily reflects the net loss offset in part by the gain on extinguishment of debt, asset impairment charges and changes in working capital. Net cash used in 2009 primarily reflects the reduction of prepaid expenses, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue offset in part by the gain on sale of assets.
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.2 million and $0.4 million in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities in 2008 primarily reflects the cash received in the sale of the urokinase assets and proceeds from the sale of property and equipment offset partially by purchases of property and equipment. Net cash provided by investing activities in 2009 reflects the net cash received for the sale of assets to WA 32609.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $5.9 million in 2008 and was attributable to the $6.3 million payment on the note payable to Abbott Laboratories offset partially by the $0.4 million change in the restricted cash balance.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
Historically, our primary source of liquidity has been the public offering and private placement of shares of our common and preferred stock and convertible notes, government grants and product sales of urokinase. We do not currently have a significant source of cash.

On September 4, 2009, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 15, 2009, we sold to WA 32609, Inc. substantially all of our remaining assets, including but not limited to our clinical-stage SonoLysis product candidate for $0.5 million. At the closing, WA32609 paid to us $0.4 million of the total purchase price. The remaining $0.1 million was deposited into an escrow account to satisfy certain potential claims by WA 32609 that may arise post-closing. The proceeds from the escrow account were released on February 18, 2010. Following the closing of the asset sale to WA 32609, the remaining two employees of the Company, including Mr. Zakes, resigned their positions with the Company.
On March 17, 2010, we entered into an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Stock with Sycamore Films, Inc. and its shareholders (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) and an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Sycamore Films, Sweet Spot, Inc. and Sweet Spot’s shareholders and principals (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Sweet Spot will merge with and into Sycamore Films and the shareholders of Sweet Spot will become shareholders of Sycamore Films. Sycamore Films will continue the operation of the Sweet Spot business.
Immediately following the closing of the Merger Agreement, the purchase and sale of stock between ImaRx and Sycamore Films and it shareholders as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement will be closed. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement we will issue approximately 79,376,735 shares of our common stock to the Sycamore Films shareholders including the former shareholders of Sweet Spot. As a result, Sycamore Films will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ImaRx and the former shareholders of Sycamore will hold in the aggregate approximately eighty-six percent (86%) of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis. In connection with the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement all of the members of our current Board of Directors will resign and a new slate of directors and officers will be appointed for both ImaRx and Sycamore Films. At that time, the primary business of the Company will be a full-service distribution and marketing company specializing in acquisition, distribution and the development of marketing campaigns for feature films.
We are now engaged in pursuing the closing of the strategic transaction with Sycamore Films. The Company has no employees and is carrying out these activities through the use of consultants and other outside service providers. Our ability to continue operating for a period of time that is sufficient for us to satisfy our remaining obligations and commitments, and, to complete the strategic transaction with Sycamore Films depends on our management of our current cash. Our operating needs include the planned costs to orderly settle and pay our remaining obligations and to p[ay for the fees and costs associated with the Sycamore Films transaction. At the present time, we have no material commitments for capital expenditures.
We cannot be sure that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be adequate, or that additional financing will be available if needed, or that, if available, such financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. Failure to manage our cash resources or obtain adequate cash resources may adversely affect our ability to carry out the orderly settlement and pay our remaining obligations and close the Sycamore Films transaction. If we are not able to close the Sycamore Films transaction we may not have sufficient resources to pursue another strategic transaction or to liquidate and dissolve the company. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, or enter into a strategic transaction or merger, substantial dilution to existing stockholders will likely result. If we raise additions funds by incurring debt obligations, the terms of the debt will likely involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
At December 31, 2008 and 2009, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, FASB issued guidance for fair value measurements and improving disclosures about fair value measurements. This new guidance requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. The objective of the guidance is to improve these disclosures and improve transparency in financial reporting. The guidance now requires a reporting entity to (1) separately disclose the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers and (2) present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements. In addition, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities for purposes of reporting fair value measurement and the entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll-forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance requires an entity to use an estimated selling price when vendor-specific objective evidence or acceptable third party evidence does not exist for any products or services included in a multiple-element arrangement. The arrangement consideration should be allocated among the products and services based upon their relative selling prices, thus eliminating the use of the residual method of allocation. This guidance also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding significant judgments made and changes in applying this guidance. This guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new provision.
ITEM 7.  
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to the financial statements and schedule listed in Item 15 (a)1 and (a)2 of Part IV and included in this Form 10-K Annual Report.
ITEM 8A(T).  
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Due to the fact that we have ceased all operations and currently have no employees, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was conducted as of December 31, 2009 based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on the specified criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the fact that the Company has no employees and has ceased operations. The lack of a dedicated accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation. Due to the lack of financial resources available to the company we do not expect to retain additional personnel to remediate these control deficiencies in the near future, if ever.
These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.
In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Thomas W. Pew — Director
Thomas Pew has served as a director since January 2004. Since 1994, Mr. Pew has been a private investor in formative-stage biotechnology companies. He holds a B.A. in Economics from Cornell University.
In June 2008, we implemented a significant workforce reduction in which all of our employees other than Bradford Zakes, our then president and chief executive officer, and one additional employee were terminated. In September 2009 following the sale of our SonoLysis program we terminated the services of our two remaining employees and have ceased all operations. Prior to the June 2008 workforce reduction the Board elected to use Board committees in furtherance of the discharge of its duties and for the conduct of its work. The Board had established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Due to the fact that we no longer have any employees and have ceased operations each of the respective Board committees are no longer operating and the full Board is serving in those functions when necessary.
Our Board has also determined that Mr. Ranker qualifies as an Audit Committee Financial Expert as defined in the applicable SEC rules.
Our Board has determined that each member of the Board is independent. Bradford Zakes our former president and chief executive officer and a former member of the Board was not an independent director while serving on the Board. The Board primarily utilizes The NASDAQ Stock Market’s categorical independence standards for determining whether members of the Board are independent.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires ImaRx’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of ImaRx’s common stock, to file with the Commission reports of ownership and changes in ownership of ImaRx common stock. Officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the Commission to furnish ImaRx with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
To our knowledge, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, we believe that, with the exception of one late report by Mr. Strickland with respect to the sale of shares of our common stock by him in December 2009, all of these filing requirements were satisfied by our directors, officers and 10% holders.

Employment Agreements
Bradford A. Zakes. On June 27, 2008, pursuant to the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and approval of the our Board of Directors, we entered into an amendment to the Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Bradford Zakes. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, we agreed to pay to Mr. Zakes a retention bonus in the amount of $290,000. In consideration for such payment, Mr. Zakes agreed to remain in our employ for a period of 12 months from the date of the Agreement. In the event that Mr. Zakes’ employment is terminated prior to the expiration of such 12-month period and such termination is not incident to a change-in-control, disability, death, or is not for good reason or is by us without cause, then Mr. Zakes is required to repay us a ratable portion of the bonus. Mr. Zakes is not longer employed by the Company.
Greg Cobb. Effective June 11, 2008, in connection with a general workforce reduction, Greg Cobb left us and no longer serves as our chief financial officer or treasurer.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the ownership of our common stock as of (or options and warrants exercisable within 60 days of) April 1, 2010, by: (a) all those known by us to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of our common stock; (b) each current director; (c) each of the named executive officers referenced in the Summary Compensation Table; and (d) all of our executive officers and directors as a group. This table lists applicable percentage ownership based on 11,665,733 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 1, 2010.
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC. Beneficial ownership means that a person has or shares voting or investment power of a security, and includes shares underlying options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after the measurement date. This table is based on information supplied by officers, directors and principal stockholders. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the beneficial owners of the common stock listed below, based on the information each of them has given to us or that is otherwise publicly available, have sole investment and voting power with respect to their shares, except where community property laws may apply.
Options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that are exercisable within 60 days after April 1, 2010 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the persons holding these options and warrants and outstanding for the purpose of computing percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing any other person’s ownership percentage.

Changes in Certifying Accountant
In connection with the reorganization of McKennon, Wilson & Morgan LLP (the “Former Auditors”), certain of its audit partners resigned and joined a new accounting firm called dbbmckennon. As a result, the Former Auditors resigned as the independent auditors of ImaRx Therapeutics, Inc. effective May 5, 2009. The Former Auditors had been the Company’s auditor since December 19, 2008.
The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the resignation of the Former Auditors.
The Former Auditors’ audit report on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the Former Auditors’ report on the Company’s financial statements for the past fiscal year included an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and through May 5, 2009, (a) there were no disagreements between the Company and the Former Auditors on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Auditors, would have caused the Former Auditors to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years; and (b) no reportable events as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K have occurred.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
ImaRx Therapeutics, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ImaRx Therapeutics, Inc., a shell company, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

ImaRx Therapeutics, Inc.
(A Shell Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies
The Company
We are currently a shell company engaged in the orderly settlement and payment of the remaining obligations of the Company while at the same time pursuing the closing of a strategic transaction as more particularly described below.
We were a development stage biopharmaceutical company, whose research and development efforts focused on the development of therapies for stroke and other vascular disorders, using our proprietary microsphere technology together with ultrasound. We were previously engaged in the commercialization of one drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration or FDA, urokinase, but sold all rights to that product to Microbix Biosystems, Inc., or Microbix, on September 23, 2008.
On June 11, 2008, in response to new risks and challenges facing the Company, we announced a restructuring that included a significant workforce reduction in which all of our employees other than Bradford Zakes, our president and chief executive officer, and one additional employee were terminated. We paid a retention bonus to each of the remaining employees and entered into agreements with each of them to reimburse us a portion of the retention bonus should they voluntarily leave the employ of the Company prior to certain agreed upon dates.
On September 23, 2008, we divested our urokinase business to Microbix Biosystems Inc. for an upfront payment of $2.0 million, the assumption by Microbix of up to $0.5 million in chargeback and other liabilities for commercial product then in the distribution channel and an additional $2.5 million payment from Microbix contingent upon release by the FDA of three lots of urokinase that are currently subject to a May 2008 FDA Approvable Letter. On June 15, 2009, we entered into the First Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement with Microbix which reduced the size of the contingent payment from $2.5 million to $0.2 million contingent upon receipt by Microbix of written authorization from the FDA for the release of the urokinase lots on or before September 1, 2010. As of the date of this report, the FDA has not released the three urokinase lots.
On September 4, 2009, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 15, 2009, we sold to WA 32609, Inc., now Cerevast Therapeutics, Inc., substantially all of our remaining assets and intellectual property, including but not limited to our clinical-stage SonoLysis product candidate for $0.5 million cash. The sale was subject to shareholder approval which was obtained at a special meeting of the shareholders held August 31, 2009. Following the closing of the asset sale to WA 32609, the remaining two employees of the Company, including Mr. Zakes, resigned their positions with the Company.
On March 17, 2010, we entered into an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Stock with Sycamore Films, Inc. (Sycamore Films), a development stage company, and its shareholders (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), and an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Sycamore Films, Sweet Spot Productions, Inc. (“Sweet Spot”) and Sweet Spot’s shareholders and principals (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Sweet Spot will merge with and into Sycamore Films and the shareholders of Sweet Spot will become shareholders of Sycamore Films. Sycamore Films will continue the operation of the Sweet Spot business.
Immediately following the closing of the Merger Agreement, the purchase and sale of stock between ImaRx and Sycamore Films and it shareholders as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement will be closed. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement we will issue approximately 79,376,735 shares of our common stock to the Sycamore Films shareholders including the former shareholders of Sweet Spot. As a result, Sycamore Films will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ImaRx and the former shareholders of Sycamore Films will hold in the aggregate approximately eighty-six percent (86%) of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis. In connection with the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement all of the members of our current Board of Directors will resign and a new slate of directors and officers will be appointed for both ImaRx and Sycamore Films. At that time, the primary business of the Company will be a full-service distribution and marketing company specializing in acquisition, distribution and the development of marketing campaigns for feature films.

Table of Contents

Each of the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Merger Agreement have agreed to certain covenants, including covenants regarding the operation of the business prior to closing and covenants prohibiting the us from soliciting or providing information or entering into discussions concerning proposals relating to alternative offers for the assets or ownership interests in us, except in limited circumstances to permit the our board of directors to comply with its fiduciary duties or as otherwise provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company expects each of the Merger Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement to close on or about April 20, 2010. We have no employees and we are carrying out these activities through the use of consultants and other outside service providers. Mr. Love, our Chairman of the Board is now acting as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.
Basis of Presentation
On September 23, 2008, upon the sale of the urokinase asset to Microbix, we returned to the development stage. We no longer have any commercialized products or licensed technologies that will provide significant revenue in the immediate future. The sale of urokinase assets did not result in discontinued operations reporting as this was not considered a reportable segment. We purchased this inventory as it was complimentary to our SonoLysis program efforts and assisted us in obtaining contacts that would be beneficial to our developmental products. At the time we purchased the urokinase inventory from Abbott Laboratories there were no FDA approved manufacturing facilities that could manufacture additional supplies of urokinase for commercialization. We purchase urokinase with the intention of selling the purchased inventory for cash. Due to the amount of time and resources that it would require to build new manufacturing facilities and obtain FDA approval of the facility, it was not our intention to reproduce additional commercial supplies of inventory once the existing supplies had been sold. We reflected these former activities as discontinued operations.
On September 4, 2009, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 15, 2009, we sold to WA 32609, Inc., now Cerevast Therapeutics, Inc., substantially all of our remaining assets and intellectual property, including but not limited to our clinical-stage SonoLysis product candidate for $0.5 million cash. The sale was subject to shareholder approval which was obtained at a special meeting of the shareholders held August 31, 2009. Following the closing of the asset sale to WA 32609, the remaining two employees of the Company, including Mr. Zakes, resigned their positions with the Company. We reflected these former activities as discontinued operations.
We are a shell company with no business activities. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to close the transaction with Sycamore Films, Inc. We have had recurring losses. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements include adjustments to reduce the value of certain assets to fair value, but do not include any other adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot acquire additional financing or execute the strategic alternatives being considered.
Estimates and Assumptions
Preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Examples include estimates of stock-based compensation forfeiture rates; assumptions such as the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns; and, estimating the fair value of financial instruments. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Our cash equivalents have been comprised mainly of marketable bank obligations and commercial paper.
Accounts Receivable
In the year ended December 31, 2008 accounts receivable consisted of amounts due from wholesale distributors for the purchase of urokinase product and are recorded net of allowances for sales discounts and prompt payment discounts. There was no bad debt allowance because the majority of product revenue came from sales to a limited number of established wholesale distributors, but was evaluated periodically based on credit worthiness of customers. As discussed in Note 3 activities related to these receivables have been discontinued.

 

F-35


Table of Contents

Inventory Subject to Return
Inventory subject to return was comprised of finished goods, stated at the lower of cost or market value, and represented the amount of inventory that had been sold to wholesale distributors. When product was sold by the wholesale distributor to a hospital or other health care provider, a reduction in this account occured and cost of sales was recorded.
On September 23, 2008, we divested the urokinase assets and sold all of the remaining urokinase inventory to Microbix. There was minimal inventory remaining within the distribution channel after the sale to Microbix. The Company had approximately $12,000 of product in the distribution chain as of December 31, 2008, which was eliminated in fiscal 2009, when right of return passed and it was determined that the Company would no longer be liable for future returns. The amount is included in Current assets of discontinued operations in the accompanying balance sheet. See note 9.
Costs related to shipping and handling were charged to general and administrative expense as incurred.
Property and Equipment
All property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to seven years, using the straight-line method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures. We did not record an adjustment to retained earnings as a result of the adoption of the guidance for fair value measurements, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our results of operations.
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Other Long-Lived Assets
We account for long-lived assets in accordance with the FASB guidance for accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This guidance addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the expected future net cash flows generated by the asset. If it is determined that the asset may not be recoverable and if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent of the difference. This guidance requires companies to separately report discontinued operations, including components of an entity that either have been disposed of (by sale, abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
At June 30, 2008, we evaluated our intangible assets for impairment due to the receipt of the Approvable Letter from the FDA and determined that all of the intangible assets were impaired. As such, these intangibles were written off by recording a $1.3 million impairment. We also initiated a plan to sell a portion of our laboratory equipment, which we valued at fair value based on comparable market prices and management estimates, and recorded a $0.5 million impairment. The impairment charge is included in loss from discontinued operations on the accompanying financial statements. The assets were classified as held for sale. We completed the sale of $152,000 of assets held for sale for cash of $115,000 and the termination of a lease agreement, which resulted in a reduction of future lease payments of $16,000. We recorded an additional loss on the sale of equipment in this transaction in the amount of $21,000.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product sales was recognized pursuant to guidance for revenue recognition in financial statements. Accordingly, revenue was recognized when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products has occurred; (iii) the selling price is both fixed and determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. We apply FASB guidance for revenue recognition when the right of return exists, which amongst other criteria, requires that future returns be reasonably estimated in order to recognize revenue. Due to the uncertainty of returns from wholesale distributors, we accounted for product shipments to wholesale distributors using a deferred revenue recognition model. Under this model, we did not recognize revenue upon product shipment to wholesale distributors; therefore, recognition of revenue is deferred until the product is sold by the wholesale distributor to the end user. Our returns policy allowed end users to return product within 12 months after expiration. When the product was sold to Microbix on September 23, 2008, they assumed all liabilities up to $0.5 million. We believe that we have settled all liabilities; however, we cannot be certain whether or not future liabilities will arise.
Provisions for product returns and exchanges, sales discounts, chargebacks, managed care and Medicaid rebates and other adjustments were established as a reduction of product sales revenues at the time such revenues are recognized. These deductions from gross revenue were established by management as its best estimate at the time of sale adjusted to reflect known changes in the factors that impact such reserves.
As discussed in Note 3 activities related to revenue related activity have been discontinued.
Stock-Based Compensation
We maintain performance incentive plans under which incentive and non-qualified stock options are granted primarily to employees and non-employee directors. We currently use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of our share-based payments. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We use guideline companies and, to a limited extent, experiences of the Company since becoming publicly traded, to determine volatility. The expected life of the stock options is based on historical data and future expectations. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of our stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts. The amount of stock-based compensation expense will be reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of the grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We evaluate the assumptions used to value stock awards on a quarterly basis. If factors change and we employ different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what has previously been recorded. To the extent that we grant additional equity securities to employees, the stock-based compensation expense will be increased by the additional compensation resulting from those additional grants.
The weighted-average expected option term for the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2009 reflects the application of the simplified method set out in accounting guidance for stock-based compensation. The simplified method defines the life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted-average vesting period for all option tranches.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the liability method pursuant to FASB guidance for accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when we determine that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
We adopted the FASB guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, effective January 1, 2007. This guidance contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance FASB guidance for accounting for income taxes. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Table of Contents

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders per Share
Basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is calculated by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for all periods presented. The effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive in the loss periods. At December 31, 2009, there were no options and warrants outstanding that would have had a dilutive effect should we have had net income during the year. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we had 340,685 options and 873,913 warrants outstanding, for which all of the exercise prices were in excess of the average closing price of our common stock during the corresponding year and thus no shares are considered as dilutive under the treasury-stock method of accounting. For the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company had 732,079 options and 1,023,913 warrants, to purchase shares of common stock that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effects would have been anti-dilutive due to the loss.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, FASB issued guidance for fair value measurements and improving disclosures about fair value measurements. This new guidance requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. The objective of the guidance is to improve these disclosures and improve transparency in financial reporting. The guidance now requires a reporting entity to (1) separately disclose the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers and (2) present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements. In addition, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities for purposes of reporting fair value measurement and the entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll-forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance requires an entity to use an estimated selling price when vendor-specific objective evidence or acceptable third party evidence does not exist for any products or services included in a multiple-element arrangement. The arrangement consideration should be allocated among the products and services based upon their relative selling prices, thus eliminating the use of the residual method of allocation. This guidance also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding significant judgments made and changes in applying this guidance. This guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new provision.
2. Restructuring
Our board of directors authorized a restructuring that was implemented on June 11, 2008, that included a workforce reduction in which the employment of all of our employees other than Bradford Zakes, our president and chief executive officer, and one additional employee were terminated. The costs associated with these actions for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $0.8 million, of which $0.5 million represented severance payments for the affected employees, all of which were paid prior to June 30, 2008. We also incurred a $0.5 million asset impairment for long-lived assets. All expenses incurred due to the restructuring, have been included in the statement of operations under discontinued operations. Certain of the Company’s former key employees entered into consulting agreements with us in order to conduct corporate activities.

3. Discontinued Operations
In June 2008, our board of directors authorized a restructuring that included a workforce reduction that included all employees except Bradford Zakes, the then president and chief executive officer and one additional employee. We then began to find strategic alternatives for our assets.
On September 23, 2008, we divested our urokinase business to Microbix. Under the terms of the agreement, Microbix purchased all remaining urokinase inventory and related assets and assumed full responsibility for ongoing commercial and regulatory activities associated with the product for an upfront payment of $2.0 million in cash and the assumption of up to $0.5 million of chargeback liabilities for commercial product in the distribution channel. If the assumed chargeback liabilities paid by Microbix are less than the $0.5 million assumed, Microbix will issue payment to us for the difference. Microbix also agreed to make an additional payment of $2.5 million upon release by the FDA of the three lots of urokinase that are currently subject to a May 2008 Approvable Letter. Microbix is presently working with the FDA to secure the release of the three lots of urokinase. On June 15, 2009, we entered into the First Amendment with Microbix. The Amendment provides that Microbix shall not be obligated to pay the $2.5 million bonus due under the Original Agreement on release by the FDA of certain lots of urokinase to us. Instead, Microbix shall pay to us a sum of $0.2 million within 90 calendar days of the date of receipt by Microbix of written authorization from the FDA for the release of the urokinase lots should such authorization be received on or before September 1, 2010. Microbix was unsuccessful in obtaining release of certain lots of urokinase by the FDA. The sale resulted in a loss of $10.0 million recorded in our statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.
On September 4, 2009, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 15, 2009, we sold to WA 32609, Inc. substantially all of our remaining assets, including but not limited to our clinical-stage SonoLysis product candidate for $0.5 million. At the closing, WA 32609 paid to us $0.4 million of the total purchase price. The remaining $0.1 million was deposited into an escrow account to satisfy certain potential claims by WA 32609 that may arise post-closing. The $0.1 million escrow balance was released on February 18, 2010. The sale was subject to shareholder approval which was obtained at a special meeting of the shareholders held August 31, 2009. Following the closing of the asset sale to WA 32609, the remaining two employees of the Company, including Mr. Zakes, resigned their positions with the Company. The sale resulted in a gain of $0.3 million recorded in our statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.
In connection with the June 11, 2008 restructuring, we discontinued substantially all research and development activity. As such, we initiated a process to sell certain items of laboratory equipment that will not be required for a future strategic transaction associated with our SonoLysis program. We determined that the plan of sale criteria in FASB guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, had been met. Accordingly, the carrying value of the laboratory equipment was adjusted to its fair value less costs to sell, amounting to $0.3 million, which was determined based on quoted market prices of similar assets.
On June 15, 2009, we signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with WA 32069, Inc. to sell substantially all of the assets related to our therapy programs for the treatment of ischemic stroke as well as other vascular disorders associated with blood clots, including but not limited to our clinical-stage SonoLysis product candidate, which involves the administration of our proprietary MRX-801 microspheres. This includes all laboratory equipment and IT related equipment. We determined that the plan of sale criteria in FASB guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets had been met. Accordingly, the carrying value of the IT related equipment was adjusted to its fair value less costs to sell and resulted in an impairment charge of $18,000 in the period ended June 30, 2009.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, our urokinase and research and development programs had revenues of $6.7 million and a net loss of $7.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2009, these operations had revenues of $26,000 and a net income of $0.4 million, which was primarily a result of a gain on sale of assets.

At December 31, 2009, we had net operating loss carryforwards of $59.0 million for federal tax purposes that begin to expire in the year 2020. For state income tax purposes, we had net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2009 of $42.0 million that expire within five years of being incurred and will begin to expire for state purposes in 2010. Additionally, we have research and development credit carryforwards of $1.4 million for federal purposes and $0.8 million for state purposes that begin to expire in 2020 and 2015 for federal and state purposes, respectively. Finally, we generated a capital loss carryforward of $13.6 million in 2007, which will expire in 2012 for which no tax benefit was recorded.
For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of $24.7 million and $24.9 million has been established at December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively, to offset deferred tax assets relative to the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. The gross deferred tax assets resulted from accumulated net operating loss carryforwards since inception.
We adopted the Financial FASB guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, effective January 1, 2007. This guidance contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with FASB guidance for income taxes. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We responded to an Internal Revenue Service inquiry regarding our calendar year 2005 payroll tax reporting. The IRS did not allow our initial response and did not initially abate the penalty that was assessed of $70,000. In the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, we appealed this position with the IRS. At this time, we are awaiting a response to our appeal. At this time, we estimate that it is probable that the IRS will accept the appeal and abate the penalty.
Our net operating losses and research and development credits may be subject to significant limitations under Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 which could render them to little or no benefit for future years.
5. Related Party Transactions
We leased an office facility from a partnership whose beneficial owners include a former member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Rent expense related to this lease, which was terminated on August 1, 2008, amounted to $57,000 in 2008 which is included in discontinued operations in the accompany statement of operations.
6. Equity Transactions
Proposed Reverse Stock Split
At the special meeting of stockholders held on August 31, 2009, our stockholders approved an amendment to our fifth amended and restated certificate of incorporation for a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. It is anticipated that the reverse stock split ratio will be one share for every ten shares of our common stock outstanding. Upon the effectiveness of the amendment to the fifth amended and restated certificate of incorporation effecting the reverse stock split, or the split effective time, the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock immediately prior to the split effective time will be reclassified into a smaller number of shares such that a current stockholder will own one new share of our common stock for each ten shares of issued common stock held by that stockholder immediately prior to the split effective time.
Restricted Stock Awards
On May 30, 2008, non-employee directors were issued a total of 119,050 shares of restricted stock at a grant date fair value of $0.63 per share for services rendered on the Company’s board of directors. The expense was recorded in the statement of operations under general and administrative expense.

On September 18, 2009, non-employee directors were issued a total of 1,500,000 shares of restricted stock at a grant date fair value of $0.02 per share for services rendered on the Company’s board of directors. The expense was recorded in the statement of operations under general and administrative expense.

7. Stock Options
We have two equity incentive plans; the 2000 Stock Plan (“2000 Plan”) and the 2007 Performance Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”). The 2000 Stock Plan was terminated immediately following the closing of the initial public offering on July 31, 2007. No additional grants will be issued from the 2000 Stock Plan; however, there are grants currently outstanding under this plan. The 2007 Plan became effective July 25, 2007, the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering. There were a total of 850,000 shares available for grant under the 2007 Plan upon its effective date. Any shares forfeited under the 2000 Plan would be added to the shares available for grant under the 2007 Plan. As of December 31, 2009, a cumulative total of 1,276,994 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance. As of December 31, 2009, there is no remaining compensation cost related to non-vested options. For the year ended December 31, 2009, total stock based compensation related to options was approximately $0.1 million.
We account for stock-based compensation expense according to the accounting guidance for stock-based compensation.
The following assumptions were used to determine actual stock-based compensation expense:
     
    December 31, 2008
Expected dividend yield
  0.00%
Expected stock price volatility
  84.42 – 85.01%
Risk free interest rate
  3.46 – 3.67%
Expected life of option
  7 years

On May 31, 2008, in connection with a termination of employment, stock options granted to an executive officer were modified to accelerate the vesting for certain non-vested options by 12 months from the date of termination and the option exercise period was extended for 12 months. Options to purchase 118,000 shares of common stock were subject to this acceleration, which resulted in 29,500 shares vesting and a reduction in compensation expense of $3,000 in the year ending December 31, 2008 using the assumptions on the date of modification per FASB guidance for share-based payment.
On June 11, 2008, in connection with termination of employment, the stock options granted to two executive officers were modified to accelerate the vesting for certain non-vested options by 12 months from the date of termination and the option exercise period was extended for 12 months. Options to purchase 399,666 shares of common stock were subject to this acceleration, which resulted in 132,082 shares vesting and a reduction in compensation expense of $0.1 million in the year ending December 31, 2008 using the assumptions on the date of modification
On September 18, 2009, in connection with termination of employment, the stock options granted to an executive officer was modified to accelerate the vesting for certain non-vested options by 12 months from the date of termination and the option exercise period was extended for 12 months. Options to purchase 164,560 shares of common stock were subject to this acceleration, which resulted in 75,249 shares vesting and an increase in compensation expense of $1,250 in the year ended December 31, 2009.
8. Benefit Plan
We have a 401(k) profit sharing benefit plan (401(k) Plan) covering substantially all employees who are at least 21 years of age and provide a certain number of hours of service. Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, employees may make voluntary contributions, subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. We match 25% of the employee’s contributions up to a total of 15% of the employee’s gross salary. In August 2008, we elected to discontinue the company match portion of the 401(k) Plan. Our contributions to the 401(k) Plan vest equally over five years. Our contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $43,947, for the year ended December 31, 2008. No contributions were made in the year ended December 31, 2009.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
Total rent expense was $0.4 million and $36,500 in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
On January 8, 2009, we entered into a Lease Surrender and Termination Agreement with Cambric Partners pursuant to which we agreed to terminate our lease dated December 10, 2007, as amended on January 25, 2008, for the premises located at 1730 E. River Road, Suite 200, Tucson, Arizona.
There are no future minimum lease commitments.
Contingencies
We do not currently have a returns reserve recorded in our financial statements for any potential product returns for expired product. There is a large amount of inventory that was sold to the wholesale distributors with expiry dates of November 2008, December 2008, and September 2009. When the product was sold to Microbix on September 23, 2008, they assumed all liabilities up to $0.5 million. We believe that we have settled all liabilities; however, we cannot be certain whether or not future liabilities will arise.
We responded to an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) inquiry regarding our calendar year 2005 payroll tax reporting. The IRS did not allow our initial response and did not initially abate the penalty that was assessed of $70,000. In the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, we appealed this position with the IRS. At this time, we are awaiting a response to our appeal. At this time, we estimate that it is probable that the IRS will accept the appeal and abate the penalty.
10. Subsequent Events
As disclosed in Note 1, on March 17, 2010, we entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Sweet Spot will merge with and into Sycamore Films and the shareholders of Sweet Spot will become shareholders of Sycamore Films. Sycamore Films will continue the operation of the Sweet Spot business.
Immediately following the closing of the Merger Agreement, the purchase and sale of stock between ImaRx and Sycamore Films and it shareholders as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement will be closed. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, we will issue approximately 79,376,735 shares of our common stock to the Sycamore Films shareholders including the former shareholders of Sweet Spot. As a result, Sycamore Films will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ImaRx and the former shareholders of Sycamore Films will hold in the aggregate approximately eighty-six percent (86%) of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis. In connection with the closing, our current Board of Directors will resign and a new slate of directors and officers will be appointed for both ImaRx and Sycamore Films and they will operate the business a full-service distribution and marketing company specializing in acquisition, distribution and the development of marketing campaigns for feature films.
We expect to close in the second quarter of 2010. However, the is no assurance that such will be consummated by the parties.
