(A
Development Stage Company)
Notes to Unaudited
Consolidated Financial Statements
March
31, 2009 and March 31, 2008
1.
The Company and Basis of Presentation
The Company
The
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Apogee Technology, inc.,
a Delaware corporation, have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of American and the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our last Annual
Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the
interim periods presented have been reflected therein. The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.
Apogee
Technology, Inc., (“Apogee”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is developing PyraDerm™, a proprietary
intradermal drug delivery system for vaccines and other pharmaceuticals that we
intend to market to pharmaceutical and medical device
companies. Until March 31, 2009, we were also engaged in the
development of IntellaPAL™, a proprietary
sensor-based health monitoring systems for the elderly care and other markets
that we intended to manufacture and market to individuals and health
organizations. Our two major business activities were organized under our Life
Science Group and our Health Monitoring Products Group. Apogee is
currently considered to be a development stage company, as defined by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.
Apogee is
developing PyraDerm, an
advanced intradermal drug delivery system, to meet the needs of patients, health
insurers and companies developing pharmaceuticals, as well as governments and
international health organizations. We believe PyraDerm™ has advantages over
competitive approaches for the delivery of vaccines, high potency therapeutic
protein drugs and other pharmaceuticals. We have evaluated the feasibility of
PyraDerm by performing
in vitro tests with model drugs and demonstrated its potential for intradermal
immunization in vivo. We are working to establish pharmaceutical industry
compliant manufacturing methods and to define regulatory strategies to support
its commercialization. Upon the completion of in vitro and in vivo evaluation of
PyraDerm™, if successful, we intend
to pursue licensing/development or partnership agreements with pharmaceutical
companies interested in our technologies.
We have
operated as a technology research and development stage company since October 1,
2008, under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. We
have not yet generated revenue from our principal operations. During the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2008, and continuing to date, due to our
limited resources, we invested these resources predominately in the development
of our Life Science Group. As of March 31, 2009, we closed down
operations of our Health Monitoring Products Group. Costs associated
with the closing of this group, as well as the termination of related employees
are not material. Our sole focus is and will remain on the
development and growth of our Life Science Group.
Basis
of Presentation
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has recurring
operating losses, negative cash flows from operations, negative working capital
of approximately $4.8 million and stockholder’s deficiency of approximately $4.6
million, is in arrears with substantially all of its vendors, and is in default
on a majority of its Promissory Notes. This raises substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Net losses were approximately
$691,000 and negative cash flows from operations were approximately $473,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2009. Given our current cash
position, net losses and negative cash flows from operations and our outstanding
current obligations, we will not be able to continue as a going concern without
raising additional capital which is not assured.
We had
approximately $2,500 cash balance at March 31, 2009. As of
August 11, 2010, we had cash of approximately $100,000. See
Note 13 - Subsequent Events – Additional Financings.

APOGEE
TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A
Development Stage Company)
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements
March
31, 2009 and March 31, 2008
The
long-term success of Apogee is dependent upon our ability to raise additional
funds to continue our operations, pay our outstanding liabilities and to
successfully develop and market our technologies and products and to attain
profitable operations. Although we have modified our business strategy to
improve near-term financial performance, there can be no assurance that we will
be able to obtain funds, to generate sufficient revenue, if any, or become
profitable or that additional funds will be available to us on acceptable terms,
if at all. Accordingly, we may be unable to implement current
plans. In addition, if sufficient capital cannot be obtained, Apogee
may be forced to cease operations. In the event that any future
financing is affected, to the extent it includes equity securities; the holders
of the common stock may experience additional dilution. In the event
of a cessation of operations, there may not be sufficient assets to fully
satisfy all creditors, in which case, the holders of securities may be unable to
recoup any of their investment.
We are in
the process of attempting to secure sufficient financing to meet our current
obligations and to continue development of our technology. We have
been working to obtain financing from outside investors for more than 24 months,
but have not yet been successful. In the interim, short-term debt
financing has been provided by Apogee’s significant shareholders, including our
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, an
individual investor and others, and has been utilized to keep product
development moving forward. Additionally, cost cutting measures,
including salary reduction for non-PyraDerm employees,
diminished sensor development, deferral of capital expenditures, and reduced
general spending, have been instituted until such time as financing is secured,
if ever.
Due to
the early stages of development of our products, we cannot estimate at this time
the amounts of cash or the length of time that will be required to bring our
products under development to market. It is expected that such costs
will be funded not only by external funding, if available, but also through
partnership activities. Without additional financing, we will be
unable to continue operations.
On
October 28, 2009, the Company received a “Wells Notice” from the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which states the staff’s intent to recommend
that the Commission institute a public administrative proceeding against the
Company, alleging that it violated Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. In connection with the contemplated proceedings, the staff
may seek a suspension or revocation of registration of each class of the
Company’s registered securities. Also, the staff may consider whether contempt
proceedings in a federal district court are appropriate. The Company
submitted a response to this letter on November 16, 2009. Should
suspension or revocation of our stock occur, the Company’s ability to raise
additional funding may be severely impacted.
See Note
13 – Subsequent Events for additional information.
Accounting
Principles
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Consolidated
Financial Statements
The
financial statements include the accounts of Apogee Technology, Inc., and
its wholly owned inactive subsidiary, DUBLA, Inc. All significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

APOGEE
TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A
Development Stage Company)
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements
March
31, 2009 and March 31, 2008
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such
differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods
and such differences could be material.
2. Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue
Recognition
Apogee
recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), “Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements: Revenue Recognition”, which states that revenue should be recognized
when the following revenue recognition criteria are met:
(1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the product has
been shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss;
(3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of
the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The following policies apply to
Apogee’s two sales categories for revenue recognition. Sales to end users
(“OEM”): revenue is recognized under our standard terms and conditions of
sale, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer at the time products are
shipped from our warehouse or delivered to the customer’s representative/freight
forwarder. We accrue the estimated cost of post-sale obligations including
product warranty returns, based on historical experience. To date we have
experienced minimal warranty returns.
We record
royalty revenue when earned in accordance with the underlying agreements.
Consulting and licensing revenue is recognized as services are
performed.
In April
of 2008, SigmaTel, Inc. agreed to pay Apogee a percentage of the royalties it
received from STMicroelectronics NV (“ST”) in exchange for supporting their
royalty negotiations with ST. As a result of this agreement, Apogee received
approximately $63,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008. On November 4,
2008 Apogee was notified by STMicroelectronics NV that they had reached an
agreement with Freescale (formerly SigmaTel, Inc.) reducing the quarterly
royalties due Freescale. The original agreement was a result of the
transaction with SigmaTel, Inc. (“SigmaTel”) whereby we sold certain assets of
our audio division, including the DDX technology and the associated royalties
from our license agreement with ST, for approximately $9.78
million. Upon acceptance by Freescale of the lower royalty payments,
the arrangement agreed to between Freescale and Apogee in April 2008 was
cancelled. No further revenue is expected under this
arrangement.
Loss
Per Share
Basic net
loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common
stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed
based on the weighted average number of common stock and dilutive potential
common stock outstanding. Potential common stock consists of
incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and common
stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants. The
calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential common stock as the
effect is anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding used to compute basic net loss per share for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to 12,132,332 and 11,968,332,
respectively.
Research
and Development
Costs for
research and development are expensed as incurred.

APOGEE
TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A
Development Stage Company)
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements
March
31, 2009 and March 31, 2008
Legal
Fees
We record
legal costs (such as fees and expenses of outside legal counsel and other
service providers) when incurred or when it is probable that a liability has
been incurred on or before the balance sheet date and the amount can be
reasonably estimated if invoices have not been received. Legal fees
incurred pursuant to patent applications are part of the patent costs and
capitalized.
Contingencies
Apogee is
involved in and/or indemnifies others in various legal
proceedings. Management assesses the probability of loss for such
contingencies and recognizes a liability when a loss is probable and
estimable. See Note 10 – Legal and Related Indemnification with our
Executives and Others.
Inventories
Inventories,
including inventory held at distributors, are stated at the lower of cost on a
first-in, first-out basis or market. This
policy requires us to make estimates regarding the market value of our
inventory, including an assessment of excess or obsolete inventory.
On
January 15, 2008, we sold the remaining DDX inventory held in our Norwood office
to one of our customers and on January 24, 2008, we sold the remaining DDX
inventory housed in Hong Kong to one of our former DDX
distributors. Total proceeds received from the disposition of the DDX
inventory were $17,000.
Asset
Impairment Charges
In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” long-lived assets to be held and used are
reviewed to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The
conditions considered include whether or not the asset has become obsolete, or
whether external market circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not
be recoverable. Management performs analysis for impairment on a
regular basis.
Property
and Equipment
Major
replacements and betterments of equipment are capitalized. Cost of
normal maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as
incurred. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of
the assets using accelerated methods.
Leasehold
Improvements
Leasehold
improvements are amortized over either the term of lease or the estimated useful
life of the improvement.
Patents
Costs
incurred to register and obtain patents are capitalized and amortized on a
straight-line basis over five years, their estimated useful
lives. Management performs analysis for impairment on a regular
basis.
Exclusive
License Fee
We
capitalized license fees paid to third parties for costs associated with the
exclusive rights to their patents. We amortize these fees over a
period of four years. During 2008, Apogee terminated the 2006 license
agreement with the University of Akron Research Foundation and expensed the
remaining license fees. In addition, during 2008, we expensed an
additional $30,000, which represented the minimum royalty due under this
terminated license agreement.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We
consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts
Receivable
We carry
trade receivables from customers less an allowance for doubtful accounts to
ensure that trade receivables are carried at net realizable value. On
a periodic basis, we evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable
based on a variety of factors, including length of time receivables are past
due, indication of customer ability to pay, significant one-time events and
historical experience. Accounts receivable are generally considered
past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than
90 days. If circumstances related to our customers change, estimates
of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted.
Advertising
Advertising
costs are expenses when incurred and were not significant for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Carrying
amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and notes and accounts payable, approximate
their fair values due to their relatively short maturities and based upon
comparable market information available at the respective balance sheet dates.
We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
account for our stock based compensation as permitted by Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, “Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123(R)).
Stock-based
compensation costs are generally based on the fair value calculated from the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant for stock
options. The fair values of option grants are amortized as
compensation expense over the option’s vesting period. Compensation expense
recognized is shown in the operating activities section of the consolidated
statements of cash flow.
In
anticipation of adopting SFAS 123(R), Apogee evaluated the assumptions used by
it in applying the Black-Scholes model. We continue to calculate the expected
stock price volatility based solely on historical volatility. We believe that
historical volatility provides the best estimate of future stock price
volatility.
The
expected term of options was previously and is currently calculated based on an
analysis of vesting periods and contractual life. Apogee believes that this
analysis provides a better estimate of option term periods.
We
estimate the expected life of the option and determine a risk-free rate based on
U.S. Treasury issues with remaining terms similar to the expected life of the
option. We have never paid cash dividends and do not currently intend
to pay cash dividends.
Pursuant
to SFAS 123(R), we are required to estimate potential forfeitures of stock
grants and adjust compensation cost recorded accordingly. The estimate of
forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent
that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates.
Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative
adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of stock
compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

In
connection with the issuance of the promissory notes, we issued warrants to
purchase our common stock. Each warrant expires three years from
issue date with an exercise price of $1.00 per share. As of March 31,
2009, these warrants represent, in the aggregate, an underlying seventy-nine
thousand nine hundred (79,900) shares of common stock for Mr. Spiegel, an
underlying sixty thousand ninety (60,090) shares of common stock for Mr. Stein,
an underlying one hundred one thousand five hundred (101,500) shares of common
stock for Mr. Schacter, and an underlying four thousand one hundred fifty
(4,150) shares of common stock for others. These warrants were issued
as added consideration for the notes. These warrants include
customary terms and include a cashless or net exercise provision for exercise.
The values of these warrants were determined by using the Black Scholes
valuation model.

Deficiency

Preferred
Stock
At our
Annual Meeting held on August 28, 2007, our shareholders approved an Amendment
to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizing five
million shares of undesignated preferred stock. These shares will
have future rights and preferences to be determined at the sole discretion of
our Board of Directors. No preferred stock has been issued.
Common
Stock
On April
9, 2008, Apogee sold 164,000 shares of our common stock to accredited investors
at a price of $1.00 per share. The net proceeds to Apogee were
$152,519, which we have used for general working capital and corporate
purposes. The shares of Apogee’s common stock were issued and
sold in a private placement in reliance on an exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(2) of Securities Act of 133, as amended, and Rule 506 of
Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The shares of
common stock issued in this private placement were not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 and may not be subsequently offered or sold by the
investors in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements.

Related Party Transactions
Apogee
rents its facility from an entity controlled by a stockholder for $4,400 per
month pursuant to a lease that expired December 31, 2005. Currently, we are
renting the facility on a month-to-month basis. Rent expense was
$52,800 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008. Rent has been
accrued and remains unpaid since September 2008. See also Note 7 –
Promissory Notes, Loans and Warrants from Officers and Significant
Stockholders.

Legal and Related Indemnification Arrangements with our
Executives and Others
Apogee
has assumed and will continue to assume the final legal costs and related
expenses of Herbert M. Stein, in connection with the civil action styled Joseph Shamy vs. Herbert M. Stein,
Case No.: 50 2005 CA 007719 XXXXMB. In this action instituted
in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida (the
"Court), Joseph Shamy sued Herbert M. Stein, President, Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman of the Board of Apogee in connection with Shamy’s purchase of
Apogee shares in 2003 and 2004. In February 2009, in connection with
a settlement, the Court entered a Final Judgment against Mr.
Stein. In early January 2010, a filing was made with the Court
to memorialize the Total and Complete Satisfaction of Judgment, which states
that all sums due under the civil action were fully paid and that the Final
Judgment was satisfied and canceled. Further, the Clerk of the Court
was directed to note satisfaction of the Final Judgment and cancellation of all
judgments of record in this action. Apogee was not a party to the aforementioned
settlement or the satisfaction of the Final Judgment. Through January
1, 2010, we have incurred approximately $887,000 toward this
indemnification. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, we have incurred approximately $42,000 and $62,000,
respectively.
The
Company first became aware of an investigation by the SEC in May 2005. The
subject matter of this investigation was the Company's prior revenue recognition
practices that were addressed in the Company's restatement of its financial
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. As previously disclosed
in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004,
as amended, Apogee’s Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent
counsel, conducted an investigation into Apogee’s historical accounting
practices that resulted in the implementation of remedial actions. See our
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, as amended,
for detail regarding the restatement.
In July
2008, Apogee, it’s Chief Executive Officer and other employees
received notifications from the Staff of the SEC relating to the Staff's 2005
investigation. These notifications, known as “Wells Notices,” stated that the
Staff is considering recommending that the Commission bring enforcement actions
against the Company and certain employees, based on alleged violations of
certain provisions of the federal securities laws, including Section 17(a) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A)
and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13
thereunder. The Wells Notice sent to the Company indicates that in any action
actually brought against the Company, the Staff would seek an injunction against
future violations of the federal securities laws as relief.
On May
19, 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“commission”) filed a settled
enforcement action against the Company, one employee, and one former employee
(“Others”) in connection with Apogee’s prior revenue recognition
practices. Each of the defendants has agreed to settle this matter,
without admitting or denying the allegations of the Commission’s
complaint. Apogee and others agreed to the entry of a final judgment
permanently enjoining them from variously violating or aiding and abetting
violations of Sections of the Securities Act of 1933, and Sections of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and various Rules. The others also
agreed to financial and other sanctions. Through January 1, 2010, we

Notification
from the Securities and Exchange Commission
On May
19, 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“commission”) filed a settled
enforcement action against the Company, one employee, and one former
employee (“Others”) in connection with a with the revenue recognition
practices. Each of the defendants has agreed to settle this matter,
without admitting or denying the allegations of the Commission’s
complaint. Apogee and others agreed to the entry of a final judgment
permanently enjoining them from variously violating or aiding and abetting
violations of Sections of the Securities Act of 1933, and Sections of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and various Rules. The others also
agreed to financial and other sanctions.
SEC
Administrative Proceedings
Due to
its financial condition, the Company had been unable to fund payments to its
auditors. Accordingly, the Company did not timely file its 2008 Annual Report on
10-K, as well as quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31,
2009, June 30, 2009, and September 30, 2009. Additionally, it had not timely
filed Form 8-K and related Form 4s.
On
October 28, 2009, the Company received a “Wells Notice” from the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which states the staff’s intent to recommend
that the Commission institute a public administrative proceeding against the
Company, alleging that it violated Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
In
connection with the contemplated proceedings, the staff may seek a suspension or
revocation of each class of the Company’s registered securities. Also, the staff
may consider whether contempt proceedings in a federal district court are
appropriate. The Company submitted a response to this letter as of
November 16, 2009. Suspension or revocation may substantially impact
the Company’s ability to obtain funding.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements
March
31, 2009 and March 31, 2008
Subsequently,
on December 18, 2009 we filed our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed our
2009 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and
September 30, 2009 in January 2010.
As noted
above, the Company, on December 18, 2009, filed its delinquent financial report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. This report contained a
Disclaimer of Opinion by its Independent Accountants due to significant
uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to be a going concern. On April 16, 2010
the SEC issued an Order for an Administrative Hearing based on a claim that the
filing as well as Form 10-Q’s for the first three quarters of 2009, which had
been filed on January 15, 2010, were materially deficient due to the Disclaimer
of Opinion and thus the filings remained delinquent. The Disclaimer
of Opinion was removed on a subsequent filing. The Company was also
delinquent on its Form 10-K for the Year ended December 31, 2009. An Order of
Suspension of trading in the Company’s securities was enacted at that
time. The Company also did not file its Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 2010.
In June
2010 the SEC and the Company entered into a Settlement agreement without the
above mentioned Hearing, under which the Company would file all its delinquent
filings without a material deficiency by a mutually agreed date. Failure to do
so would activate an Order to revoke the ability for the Company’s securities to
trade on an exchange.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The
following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Company’s Financial
Condition and Results of Operations for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2009 and March 31, 2008, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
Financial Statements and related footnotes included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains, in addition to historical
statements, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include the factors discussed in the section titled ITEM 1A –
RISK FACTORS, as well as other factors described in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
OVERVIEW
We are
developing proprietary intradermal drug delivery systems for vaccines and other
pharmaceuticals that we intend to market to pharmaceutical and medical device
companies, government and world health organizations. Our Life
Science Group is developing PyraDerm™, an advanced intradermal drug delivery
system to meet the needs of patients, health insurers and companies developing
pharmaceuticals, as well as, governments and international health organizations.
We believe that PyraDerm has advantages over
competitive approaches for the delivery of vaccines, high potency therapeutic
protein drugs and other pharmaceuticals. We have evaluated the feasibility of
PyraDerm by performing
in vitro tests with model drugs and conducted successful in vivo testing of
PyraDerm in the
intradermal immunization experiments. We are working to establish pharmaceutical
industry compliant manufacturing methods and to define regulatory strategies to
support its commercialization.
Our sole
focus remains on developing and growing the Life Science Group, subject to our
ability to secure additional financing to support our operations and repay our
existing indebtness. We expect that future revenue, if any, will
initially be the result of potential licensing and development revenues
resulting from the grant of rights to our intellectual property.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, virtually all of our revenue was derived
from the sale of the remaining DDX audio IC inventory.
At March
31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $23.6 million, as
compared to a deficit of approximately $22.9 million as of December 31,
2008. Since re-entering development stage on October 1, 2008, we have
an accumulated deficit of approximately $1.7 million, as compared to a deficit
of approximately $989,000 as of December 31, 2008. Our
historical net losses and accumulated deficit (since 1995) result primarily from
the costs associated with our efforts to design, develop and market our DDX
technology as well as costs associated with our efforts to develop PyraDerm™.
Through
March 31, 2009, we have received approximately $2.5 million in
loans. Since March 31 2009, we have received approximately $1.3
million in funding, which has been inadequate to meet the current needs of the
Company resulting in non-payment of loan principal and interest, vendors,
payroll, payroll withholding, and payroll taxes for the third and fourth
quarters of 2009. The proceeds from these loans were used to pay
unpaid payroll and payroll taxes up through and including payroll for the period
ended December 15, 2009 and to pay payroll and related costs to
date. These amounts exclude payroll and payroll taxes for Mr. Herbert
M. Stein, who has not drawn cash compensation from Apogee since June 30,
2009. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements -
Subsequent Events – Additional Financings.
As of March 31, 2009, we had 13
employees, compared to 14 employees at March 31, 2008. Effective as
of June 9, 2008 through October 31, 2009, 5 of the remaining employees
transitioned to part-time status in an effort to reduce human resource
costs. As of November 1, 2009 the majority of employees have returned
to full time.

Revenue
We have
historically derived our revenue from three sources:
● Product
sales, which formerly consisted of merchandise sales made either directly to
original equipment manufacturers or sell through point of sale (“POS”) by
distributors. All remaining merchandise was sold in January
2008. All such shipments were fulfilled from our contracted warehouse
in Hong Kong or from our Norwood, Massachusetts office and were reported net of
returns.
● Royalties
received as a result of an agreement between Apogee and SigmaTel, Inc. whereby
SigmaTel, Inc. agreed to pay Apogee a percentage of the royalties it received
from STMicroelectronics NV (“ST”) in exchange for supporting their royalty
negotiations with ST, as well as revenue from the sale of the remaining DDX
inventory.
● Consulting
income related to contractual services or development activities for third
parties.
We
anticipate that future revenue streams, if any, will come from our Life Science
Group, , generally in the form of strategic alliances or arrangements with
development or marketing partners, as well as, from licensing and
development-related revenues resulting from the grant of rights to our
intellectual property. We envision the future of our medical devices as
(i) licensing or selling our technologies to pharmaceutical or medical device
companies; (ii) establishing partnerships with pharmaceutical and medical device
companies to commercialize our products; and (iii) developing, producing and
marketing our own products. In order to develop and market any
products, we will need to secure additional funding.
No
revenue was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2009. We
recognized revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of approximately
$22,000. On January 15, 2008 we sold the remaining DDX inventory held
in the Norwood Office to one of our customers and on January 24, 2008 we sold
the remaining DDX inventory housed in Hong Kong to one of our former DDX
distributors. Total proceeds received for the disposition of the DDX
inventory was $17,000.
We
anticipate that we will not generate any material future revenue until such
time, if ever, that we are able to generate revenue from our PyraDerm™
technology.
26
Since
substantially all of the revenue recorded was from products related to our
former audio IC business, it had previously been fully reserved at
100%. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded cost of
revenue associated with the sale of sensor products of $696.
Research
and Development Costs
Our
research and development, or R&D, expenses consist primarily of salaries,
development material costs, and external consulting and service costs related to
the development and design of new products. Research and development expenses
decreased by approximately $138,000, or 34%, to approximately $275,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to approximately $413,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2008.
The
decrease in the three-month comparison was the result of a reduction in expenses
for our Life Science Group as well as the discontinuation of activities related
to our sensor products and the reduction in activities related to the Health
Monitoring Group. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, costs
incurred from the utilization of third-party consultants decreased by
approximately $92,000, or 94%, to approximately $6,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, compared to approximately $98,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008. This decrease was the result of our
discontinuing activities on sensor products and the reduction in third-party
consultant arrangements to support the Health Monitoring Group.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2009, human resource costs decreased by
approximately $31,000, or 12%,, to approximately $221,000, compared to
approximately $252,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2008. Stock compensation costs were reduced by approximately $10,000,
or 63%, to approximately $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009,
compared to approximately $16,000 for the same period in
2008. Effective as of June 9, 2008, human resource expense was
reduced by 20% for some R&D employees as a result of transitioning from full
time to part time in order to reduce expenses.
At March
31, 2009, we recorded a patent impairment charge of approximately $17,000 to
reflect the write-off of patent costs associated with the discontinuation of our
Health Monitoring Group.
Depreciation
and amortization expense increased by approximately $4,000, or 18%, to
approximately $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from
approximately $21,000 for the same period in 2008 as a result of our amortizing
approximately $10,000 of patent application related expenses. We had been
capitalizing license fees paid to third parties for costs associated with the
exclusive rights to their patents, and have been amortizing these fees over a
period of four years. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 we
amortized approximately $2,000 of license fees. Subsequently during
the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, we terminated our 2006 license agreement
with the University of Akron Research Foundation, as we had developed similar
technology in-house and licensed a more compatible technology. As a
result, we expensed the remaining $22,000 of unamortized license fees under this
license agreement. In addition, during this same quarter, we expensed
an additional $30,000, which represented the minimum royalty due under this
terminated license agreement.
While we
continue to conduct in-house experimentation and testing, purchases of supplies
and consumables for the medical laboratory were reduced by approximately
$23,000, or 95%, to approximately $1,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2009, compared to approximately $24,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2008.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2009, travel and entertainment expenses decreased
by approximately $11,000, or 100%. We did not incur travel expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to approximately $11,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2008.
If we are
able to secure additional financing, we anticipate that we will continue to
commit resources to research and development activities as our financial
position allows, and as a result, R&D costs are expected to increase
substantially in the future.
Selling,
General and Administrative Costs
General
and Administrative costs consist primarily of executive and administrative
salaries, professional fees and other associated corporate expenses. Selling,
General and Administrative, or SG&A, expenses were approximately $332,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to approximately $684,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease of
approximately $353,000, or 52%, was primarily attributed to a reduction in
professional fees, human resources costs, and an overall reduction in operating
expenses. Legal fees were reduced with the settlement of the SEC
investigation. We are, however, continuing to incur legal expenses in
connection with the indemnification of our President, Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman of the Board of Directors (as described below).
27
Human
resources costs decreased by approximately $52,000, or 25%, to approximately
$160,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to approximately
$212,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease was
the result of a 20% reduction in SG&A employee salaries effective as of June
9, 2008, partially offset by an increase in the stock-based compensation
expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, stock
compensation expense increased by approximately $15,000, to approximately
$17,000 compared to approximately $2,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2008.
Professional
expenses decreased by approximately $275,000, or 73%, to approximately $101,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to approximately $376,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the three months ended
March 31 2009, legal expenses decreased by $246,000, or 79%, to approximately
$63,000, compared to approximately $309,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2008. Legal fees decreased primarily as a result of the settlement of
the SEC investigation as well as a decrease in legal fees associated with the
continued indemnification of our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
of the Board of Directors in connection with the Shamy matter.
An
investigation by the SEC since settled on May 19, 2009, which the Company first
became aware of in May 2005, was ongoing through early 2009. The subject matter
of this investigation was the Company's prior revenue recognition practices that
were addressed in the Company's restatement of its financial statements for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. As previously disclosed in
our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as
amended, Apogee’s Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent counsel,
conducted an investigation into Apogee’s historical accounting practices that
resulted in the implementation of remedial actions. See our Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, as amended, for detail
regarding the restatement. In July 2008, Apogee, it’s Chief
Executive Officer and other employees received notifications from the Staff
of the SEC relating to the Staff's 2005 investigation. These notifications,
known as “Wells Notices,” stated that the Staff considered recommending that the
Commission bring enforcement actions against the Company and certain
employees, based on alleged violations of certain provisions of the federal
securities laws, including Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
Rule 10b-5 thereunder, Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the
Exchange Act, and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder. The Wells Notice
sent to the Company indicated that in any action actually brought against the
Company, the Staff would seek an injunction against future violations of the
federal securities laws as relief.
On May
19, 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“commission”) settled this
enforcement action. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial
statements – Subsequent Events – Notification from the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In light of the settlement we do not anticipate any
additional significant legal fees associated with this matter.
We have
agreed to indemnify certain employees, directors and a former employee in
connection with the SEC investigation. As of March 31, 2009, we have incurred
approximately $553,000 to date in legal expenses to indemnify these individuals
in association with this matter. During the three months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded expenses associated with this indemnification of
approximately $1,000 and $73,000, respectively.
In
addition, we incurred legal fees associated with the indemnification costs in
connection with the civil action styled Joseph Shamy vs. Herbert M. Stein
Case No.: 50 2005 CA 007719 XXXXMB. In this action instituted
in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida (the
"Court), Joseph Shamy sued Herbert M. Stein, President, Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman of the Board of Apogee in connection with Shamy’s purchase of
Apogee shares in 2003 and 2004. In February 2009, in connection with
a settlement, the Court entered a Final Judgment against Mr.
Stein. In early January 2010, a filing was made with the Court
to memorialize the Total and Complete Satisfaction of Judgment, which states
that all sums due under the civil action were fully paid and that the Final
Judgment was satisfied and canceled. Further, the Clerk of the Court
was directed to note satisfaction of the Final Judgment and cancellation of all
judgments of record in this action. Apogee was not a party to the aforementioned
settlement or the satisfaction of the Final Judgment. Through January 1, 2010,
we have incurred approximately $887,000 toward this
indemnification. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
we have incurred approximately $42,000 and $62,000, respectively. See
Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements - Legal and Related
Indemnification Arrangements with our Executives.
28
On
October 28, 2009, the Company received a “Wells Notice” from the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission – See Note – Subsequent Events – SEC
Administrative Proceeding.
We were
not receiving reimbursement under our Director and Officer insurance policy for
either the indemnification of Mr. Stein or the ongoing investigation by the
SEC. As of March 31, 2009, Apogee’s Directors and Officers Liability
Insurance was cancelled due to non-payment.
Investor
relations expense decreased by approximately $28,000, or 86 %, to approximately
$4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to approximately
$32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. As part of
our cost reduction, we have been forced to limit our investor relations
activities. If additional funding is secured, we will be in a
position to resume focusing on increasing awareness of our scientific and
corporate developments.
Travel
and Entertainment costs decreased by approximately $25,000, or 98%, for the
three months ended March 31 2009, to approximately $500, compared to
approximately $25,500 for the same period in 2008. Corporate
insurance increased by approximately $8,000, or 53%, to approximately $23,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to approximately $15,000 for
the same period in 2008. This increase was the result of increase
premiums related to the Director’s and Officer’s Insurance. As of March 31,
2009, Apogee’s Directors and Officers Liability Insurance was cancelled due to
non-payment. In addition, we had reductions to various other overhead
expenses, including: communication, marketing and
maintenance. Operating expenses are expected to increase when our
financial position allows.
Interest
income includes income from Apogee’s cash and cash equivalents and from
investments and expenses related to its financing activities. During the three
months ended March 31, 2009 we did not generate interest
income. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we generated
approximately $701 in interest income. This decrease in interest
income was due to reduced cash balances.
Interest
expense resulting from the issuance of promissory notes to Mr. Herbert M. Stein,
Mr. David Spiegel, Mr. Robert Schacter et al and others was approximately
$85,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to approximately
$13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. See below for a
detail of these expenses.

Net
Loss
Apogee’s
net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $691,000,
or $0.06 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss of
approximately $1.1 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted common share, for the
three months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease in our net loss was
the result of a decrease in legal fees and a reduction in human resource
expenses as well as an overall decrease in operating expenditures due to our
current cash restraints.

As of
March 31, 2009 we had approximately $2,500 in cash and a working capital deficit
of approximately $4.8 million. This compares to an overdraft of
approximately $49,000 as of December 31, 2008 and a working capital deficit of
approximately $4.2 million. During the three months ended March 31,
2009 and 2008, we received proceeds from loans and unsecured interest-bearing
promissory notes totaling of $530,400 and $450,000, respectively, detailed as

These
promissory notes are payable upon demand and were not subject to any premium or
penalty for prepayment. The loan interest rate is 8% per annum, payable monthly
in arrears on the outstanding balance. An additional 4% interest is
charged on any notes exceeding maturity. In addition, post maturity
notes are compounded monthly.
On April
9, 2008, Apogee sold 164,000 shares of our common stock to accredited investors
at a price of $1.00 per share. The aggregate net proceeds to Apogee,
after fees and expenses, were $152,519, which we will use for general working
capital and corporate purposes. The shares of Apogee’s common
stock were issued and sold in a private placement in reliance on an exemption
from registration provided by Section 4(2) of Securities Act of 133, as amended,
and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The shares of the
common stock issued in this private placement have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 and may not be subsequently offered or sold by the
investors in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements.
Net cash
used in operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009
decreased to approximately $473,000 compared to approximately $638,000 in the
three-month period ended March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, we sold the
remaining DDX inventory for a total of $17,000 and offset the remaining reserves
for slow moving, excess and obsolete inventory. As of March 31, 2009,
our accounts payable and accrued expenses were approximately $2.4 million, of
which a majority is composed of professional fees. We are
currently in arrears with loan and interest payments, a majority of our vendors,
payroll, payroll withholding and payroll taxes. On December 11, 15,
16, and 18, 2009, Apogee received an additional $133,000 from Herbert M. Stein,
David Spiegel. The proceeds from these loans were used to pay unpaid
payroll and payroll taxes up through and including payroll for the period ended
December 15, 2009. These amounts exclude payroll and payroll taxes
for Mr. Herbert M. Stein, who has not drawn cash compensation from Apogee since
June 30, 2009. See
Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements – Subsequent Events - Wages,
Payroll Withholding and Payroll Taxes.
Net cash
used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was
approximately $6,000, compared to approximately $22,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008. We continued to support the existing patent
applications related to our Life Science Group.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was approximately $480,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009. This compares $450,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008. During the three-month period ended March 31,
2009, we received the proceeds from unsecured interest bearing promissory notes
totaling $530,400; comprised of $64,000 from David Spiegel, a major shareholder,
$98,900 from Herbert M. Stein, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
of the Board of Directors, $270,000 from Mr. Robert Schacter, $35,000 from Leo
Spiegel, $31,000 from the Spiegel Family Limited Partnership, $30,000 from
JAZFund, LLC and $1,500 from others. These loans are
payable upon demand and are not subject to any premium or penalty for
prepayment. The loan interest rate is 8% per annum, payable monthly in
arrears on the outstanding balance. An additional 4% interest
will be charged on any notes exceeding maturity. In addition, post
maturity notes are compounded monthly. See Footnote 7 of the
consolidated financials statements - Promissory Notes, Loans and
Warrants. We are currently in default on substantially all of the
promissory notes. We must raise additional capital to continue
operations.
33
Apogee is
in the process of attempting to secure sufficient financing, to pay its
indebtedness and to continue operations. We have been working to
obtain financing from outside investors for more than 24 months, but have not
yet been successful. As of January 1, 2010 approximately $2.7 million
in promissory notes are in default. In the interim, short-term debt
financing provided primarily by two of Apogee’s significant shareholders,
including our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of
Directors as well as Mr. Robert Schacter, et al and others, is being utilized to
keep product development moving forward. Due to the early stages of
development of our products technology, we cannot estimate at this time the
amounts of cash and length of time that will be required to bring our products
under development to market. It is expected that such costs will be
funded not only by external financing, but also through partnership
activities. Additionally, cost cutting measures, including salary
reduction for non-PyraDerm employees,
discontinuation of sensor development, deferral of capital expenditures, and
reduced general spending have been instituted until such time as financing is
secured. We do not expect any significant changes in the number of
employees until funding has been secured, if ever. If we are unable
to generate or obtain financing, we will be required to further curtail our
operations, including a reduction in the number of employees, or cease
conducting business.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Apogee
prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and
assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information currently
available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Any future changes to
these estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the reported
amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities in our financial
statements. The significant accounting policies which we believe are the most
critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial
results include the following:
Revenue
Recognition
Apogee
recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin “104”, or SAB “104”, “Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements: Revenue Recognition”, which states that revenue should be
recognized when the following revenue recognition criteria are met:
(1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the product has
been shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss;
(3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of
the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We had no product
sales since the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. The following
policies applied to Apogee’s two major product sales categories for revenue
recognition. Sales to end users, OEM: revenue is recognized under our
standard terms and conditions of sale, title and risk of loss transfer to the
customer at the time products are shipped from our warehouse or delivered to the
customer’s representative/freight forwarder. We accrue the estimated
cost of post-sale obligations including product warranty returns, based on
historical experience. To date, we have experienced minimal warranty
returns.
In
addition, we record royalty revenue when earned in accordance with the
underlying agreements. Consulting and licensing revenue is recognized as
services are performed.
Accounts
Receivable
Apogee
performs credit evaluations of customers and determines credit limits based upon
payment history, customers’ creditworthiness and other factors, as determined by
our review of their current credit information. For a majority of our larger
sales, we can require the issuance of a Letter of Credit. Smaller accounts must
either pay via credit card or in advance of shipment. We continuously monitor
collections and payments from our customers, and we maintain a provision for
estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience and any specific
customer collection issues that we have identified. While we have not had any
significant credit losses to date, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to
avoid credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of our customers
were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make
payments, additional allowances may be required. Since our accounts
receivable are highly concentrated in a small number of customers, a significant
change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers
could have a material adverse impact on our ability to collect our accounts
receivable, our liquidity or our future results of operations.
Inventory
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost on a first-in, first-out basis or market. This
policy requires Apogee to make estimates regarding the market value of our
inventory, including an assessment of excess or obsolete
inventory. On January 15, 2008, we sold the remaining DDX
inventory held in our Norwood office to one of our customers, and on January 24,
2008, we also sold the remaining DDX inventory housed in Hong Kong to one of our
former DDX distributors. Total proceeds received from the disposition
of the DDX inventory were $17,000.
34
Valuation
and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Property,
plant and equipment, patents and trademarks are amortized over their estimated
useful lives. Useful lives are based on management’s estimates over the period
that such assets will generate revenue. In accordance with SFAS No. 144
“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” long lived
assets we hold and use are reviewed to determine whether any events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be
recoverable. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor
operating results of underlying capital investments or certain assets could
result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of such assets,
thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future. At
March 31, 2009, we recorded a patent impairment charge of approximately $17,000
to reflect the write-off of patent costs associated with the discontinuation of
our Health Monitoring Group. Additionally, we amortize the balance of
our patent applications over five years, which resulted in a $9,600 charge for
the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Apogee
had a stock-based compensation plan, the 1997 Employee, Director and Consultant
Stock Option Plan, also referred to as the 1997 Plan. The 1997 Plan
expired as of May 14, 2007. At our Annual Meeting held on August 28,
2007, our stockholders approved the adoption of a new stock-based compensation
plan, the 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, also referred to as
the 2007 Plan. Prior to fiscal 2006, we accounted for the stock-based
compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees”, and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, “Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123(R)).
Effective
January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R) using the
modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, stock
compensation costs recognized beginning January 1, 2006 include (a)
compensation cost for all stock-based compensation payments granted prior to,
but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair
value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123(R), and
(b) compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted on or subsequent
to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Due to the adoption of
SFAS 123(R), included in our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008, were stock-based compensation charges of approximately $23,000 and
$18,000, respectively.
Legal
Fees
We record
legal costs (such as fees and expenses of outside legal counsel and other
service providers) when incurred or when it is probable that a liability has
been incurred on or before the balance sheet date and the amount can be
reasonably estimated if invoices have not been
received. Significantly lower legal fees were incurred during the
three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the three months ended March 31,
2008 as a result of a decrease in legal fees in connection with the SEC
investigation as well as decreased legal fees associated with the
indemnification of our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the
Board of Directors for the Shamy matter.
Contingencies
Apogee is
involved in and/or indemnifies others in various legal
proceedings. Management assesses the probability of loss for such
contingencies and recognizes a liability when a loss is probable and
estimable. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements -
Legal and Related Indemnification Arrangements with our Executives and
Others
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
no off-balance sheet arrangements nor do we have any special purpose
entities.
35
ITEM 3 – QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Apogee’s
financial instruments include: cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. At March 31, 2009, the carrying value
of our cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans and notes payable, and
accounts payable approximate fair values given the short maturity of these
instruments.
We
believe that our financial instruments do not carry a material foreign currency
exchange rate risk since any international sales will be paid in U.S. dollars
and material purchases from foreign suppliers are typically also denominated in
U.S. dollars.
It is our
policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative
purposes.
(a) Evaluation of
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the
participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the design
and operation of Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such
period, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the
information required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission
reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and
(ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.
(b) Changes in
Internal Controls. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation
of such internal control that occurred during the fiscal quarter to which this
report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
PART II
- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time
to time, we may be a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of our business. If and when these proceedings arise, we are
committed to vigorously defending ourselves in any such legal
actions.
An
investigation by the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which the Company
first became aware of in May 2005, was ongoing in 2008. The subject matter of
this investigation is the Company's prior revenue recognition practices that
were addressed in the Company's restatement of its financial statements for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. As previously disclosed in our Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as amended,
Apogee’s Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent counsel, conducted
an investigation into Apogee’s historical accounting practices that resulted in
the implementation of remedial actions. See our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 2004, as amended, for detail regarding the
restatement.
In July
2008, Apogee, it’s Chief Executive Officer and other employees
received notifications from the Staff of the SEC relating to the Staff's 2005
investigation. These notifications, known as “Wells Notices,” stated that the
Staff is considering recommending that the Commission bring enforcement actions
against the Company and certain employees, based on alleged violations of
certain provisions of the federal securities laws, including Section 17(a) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A)
and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13
thereunder. The Wells Notice sent to the Company indicated that in any action
actually brought against the Company, the Staff would seek an injunction against
future violations of the federal securities laws as relief.
On May
19, 2009, the SEC settled the enforcement action with the Company, one employee,
and one former employee (“Others”). Each of the Defendants has
agreed to settle this matter, without admitting or denying the allegations of
the SEC’s complaint. Apogee and Others agreed to the entry of a final
judgment permanently enjoining them from violating or aiding and abetting
violations of Sections of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Sections
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and various Rules
thereunder. Others also agreed to financial and other
sanctions.
36
In
addition, we incurred legal fees associated with the indemnification costs in
connection with the civil action styled Joseph Shamy vs. Herbert M. Stein
Case No.: 50 2005 CA 007719 XXXXMB. In this action instituted
in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida (the
"Court), Joseph Shamy sued Herbert M. Stein, President, Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman of the Board of Apogee in connection with Shamy’s purchase of
Apogee shares in 2003 and 2004. In February 2009, in connection with
a settlement, the Court entered a Final Judgment against Mr.
Stein. In early January 2010, a filing was made with the Court
to memorialize the Total and Complete Satisfaction of Judgment, which states
that all sums due under the civil action were fully paid and that the Final
Judgment was satisfied and canceled. Further, the Clerk of the Court
was directed to note satisfaction of the Final Judgment and cancellation of all
judgments of record in this action. Apogee was not a party to the aforementioned
settlement or the satisfaction of the Final Judgment. See Note 9 to the
consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on
Form 10K.
Due to
its financial condition, the Company had been unable to fund payments to its
independent auditors as well as its financial printer. Accordingly, it did not
timely file its 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009, and September
30, 2009. Additionally, we did not file timely Current Reports on a Form 8-K and
reports under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Subsequently, during the fourth quarter of 2009, we paid the
outstanding balance to our auditors and filed our Annual Report on 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 on December 18, 2009.
On
October 28, 2009, the Company received a “Wells Notice” from the Staff of the
SEC, which stated the Staff’s intent to recommend that the SEC institute a
public administrative proceeding against the Company, alleging that it violated
Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended for failing to
file its 2008 Form 10-K and other periodic reports.
In
connection with the contemplated proceedings, the Staff may seek a suspension or
revocation of each class of the Company’s registered securities. Also, the Staff
may consider whether contempt proceedings in a federal district court are
appropriate. The Company submitted a response to this letter on
November 16, 2009. Should suspension or revocation of registration of
our stock occur, the Company’s ability to raise additional funding may be
severely impacted. On December 18, 2009 we filed our 2008 Annual
Report on Form 10-K and our 2009 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods
ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009 in January
2010.
As noted
above, the Company, on December 18, 2009, filed its delinquent financial report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. This report contained a
Disclaimer of Opinion by its Independent Accountants due to significant
uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to be a going concern. On April 16, 2010
the SEC issued an Order for an Administrative Hearing based on a claim that the
filing as well as Form 10-Q’s for the first three quarters of 2009, which had
been filed on January 15, 2010, were materially deficient due to the Disclaimer
of Opinion and thus the filings remained delinquent. The Disclaimer
of Opinion was removed on a subsequent filing. The Disclaimer of
Opinion was removed on a subsequent filing. The Company was also
delinquent on its Form 10-K for the Year ended December 31, 2009. An Order of
Suspension of trading in the Company’s securities was enacted at that
time. The Company also did not file its Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 2010.
The SEC
and the Company subsequently entered into a Settlement agreement without the
above mentioned Hearing, under which the Company would file all its delinquent
filings with out a material deficiency by a mutually agreed date. Failure to do
so would activate an Order to revoke the ability for the Company’s securities to
trade on an exchange.
ITEM
1A – RISK FACTORS
There are
a number of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements. We
disclaim any intention or 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 by law.
Aside
from those risks discussed below, there have been no material changes to the
risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form-10K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE
REQUIRE ADDITONAL CAPITAL TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS AND HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES
AND EXPECT FUTURE LOSSES.
As of
March 31, 2009, we had approximately $2,500 in cash, a stockholders’ deficiency
of approximately $4.6 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $23.6
million and a working capital deficit of approximately $4.8
million. We had a net loss of approximately $691,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of approximately $1.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. In the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2008, we recorded a net loss of approximately $4.0
million.
37
We have
substantial debt and interest obligations and expect to incur additional debt to
the extent available, to maintain our operations. As of January 15,
2010, we had approximately $3.2 million in promissory notes outstanding to a
significant shareholder, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
the Board of Directors, an individual investor and others. These
promissory notes are payable upon demand, not subject to any premium
or penalty for prepayment, bear simple interest of 8% per annum until
maturity. An additional 4% interest compounded monthly is charged on
all post-maturity notes. We are currently in default on substantially
all of the promissory notes.
We have
large unpaid balances with professional. We are currently in arrears
with loan and interest payments and a majority of our vendors.
As of
March 31, 2009, Apogee’s Directors and Officers Liability Insurance was
cancelled due to non-payment and the Company may be required to pay uninsured
losses. See Note 10 - to the consolidated financial statements -
Legal and Related Indemnification Arrangements with our Executives and
Others.
On
October 28, 2009, the Company received a “Wells Notice” from the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which states the staff’s intent to recommend
that the Commission institute a public administrative proceeding against the
Company, alleging that it violated Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 due to failure to timely file periodic reports in 2009. In
connection with the contemplated proceedings, the staff may seek a suspension or
revocation of each class of the Company’s registered securities. Also, the staff
may consider whether contempt proceedings in a federal district court are
appropriate. The Company submitted a response to this letter on
November 16, 2009. Should suspension or revocation of registration of
our stock occur, the Company’s ability to raise additional funding may be
severely impacted.
Our
requirements for additional capital and our ability to generate future revenue
depend on a number of factors, many of which are described in the Risk Factors
Section, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2008, including our ability to develop and generate revenues from the sales
of our sensor and medical device products, which are at a very early stage of
development. We cannot assure you when, if ever, we will generate meaningful
revenues from the sales of these products under development.
IF
OUR ATTEMPTS TO SECURE ADDITIONAL FINANCING ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL, WE WILL BE
REQUIRED TO CEASE OR CURTAIL OUR OPERATIONS, OR OBTAIN FUNDS ON UNFAVORABLE
TERMS. THESE FACTORS CREATE A SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO
CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Our
available resources are not sufficient to fund our operations, without
additional sources of financing we would not be able to continue our business,
and we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable
future. Consequently, in order to maintain our operations, which we
have already curtailed substantially, we will need to access additional equity
or debt capital. Securing financing is proving even more difficult
than anticipated in light of the current global economic crisis and the turmoil
impacting global financial markets. These factors create a
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. In light of our negative stockholders’ equity, there can be
no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on
a timely basis or on acceptable terms, if at all, to continue our operations
and, to the extent available, to fund the development of our business. In any of
such events, the continuation of our operations would be materially and
adversely affected and we may have to cease conducting business.
As noted
above, Apogee is in the process of attempting to secure sufficient financing to
continue operations. We have been working to obtain financing from
outside investors for more than 24 months, but have not yet been
successful. In the interim, short-term debt financing provided by
Apogee’s significant shareholders, including our President, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and two other employees are
being used to continue our operations and, to the extent possible, continue
product development efforts. Additionally, cost cutting measures,
including salary reduction for non-PyraDerm employees,
diminished pace of sensor development, deferral of capital expenditures,
non-payment of professional and other services providers and reduced general
spending have been instituted until such time as financing is secured, if
ever. If we are unable to obtain financing, we will be required to
further curtail our operations or cease conducting business. Given
our current level of debt, we do not expect that our stockholders would receive
any proceeds if we declare bankruptcy or seek to liquidate the
Company. As of March 31, 2009, we closed down operations of the
Health Monitoring Product Group. Costs associated with this cessation
of operations as well as the termination of employees associated with this Group
were not material.

Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Also, Apogee’s management may make
forward-looking statements orally or in writing to investors, analysts, the
media and others. Forward-looking statements express our expectations or
predictions of future events or results. They are not guarantees and are subject
to many risks and uncertainties. There are a number of factors that could cause

· anticipated
financing activities;

strategic alliances or arrangements with development or marketing
partners;
· anticipated
research and product development results;

development and commercialization timelines;
· descriptions
of plans or objectives of management for future operations, products or
services;

historical or current facts or events. They use words such as “anticipate”,
“estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “intend”, “opportunity”, “plan”, “potential”,
“believe” or words of similar meaning. They may also use words such as “will”,
“would”, “should”, “could” or “may”.
Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements. Moreover, we do not assume responsibility for the accuracy and
completeness of such statements. We do not intend to update any of the
forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform such
statements to actual results except as required by law. Given these
uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. You should carefully
consider that information before you make an investment decision. You should
review carefully the risks and uncertainties identified in this report and in
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008.
ITEM
2 – UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During
the period ended March 31, 2009, our unregistered sales of equity securities

ITEM
3 – DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
As of
March 31, 2009, $1,690,000 was in default and accruing post-maturity interest.
The promissory notes listed below now bear interest at 12%, the interest after
maturity, are payable on demand, and are compounded monthly as a result of
non-payment at maturity date.
