ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

1. Organizational History

We were formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of New York on June 17, 2005 as "Vycor Medical LLC". On August 14, 2007, we converted into a Delaware corporation and changed our name to "Vycor Medical, Inc." ("Vycor" or the "Company"). The Company's listing went effective on February 2009 and on November 29, 2010, Vycor completed an acquisition of substantially all of the assets of NovaVision, Inc., a company that had been in the business of researching, developing and providing medical technologies to restore the vision of patients with neurological visual loss predominantly resulting from Stroke or Traumatic Brain Injury.

2. Overview of Business

Vycor operates two distinct business units--Vycor Medical Inc. ("Vycor Medical") and NovaVision, Inc ("NovaVision"). Vycor Medical is a medical device company that designs, develops and markets medical devices for use in neurosurgery. NovaVision develops non-invasive, computer-based visual neuro-stimulation therapy called VRT for those suffering from vision loss resulting from neurological trauma. In addition to our existing products and products in development, we actively seek acquisition, joint venture and in-licensing opportunities in the medical device field which we believe will add shareholder value.

Vycor Medical, Inc.

Introduction

Vycor Medical is a medical device company that designs, develops and markets medical devices for use in neurosurgery. Vycor Medical is ISO 13485:2003 compliant, has U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for brain and spine surgeries, CE Marking for Europe and Canadian HPB licensing for sale in Canada of its brain access system. Vycor Medical's first product, the ViewSite Brain Access System (VBAS), is a next generation access system which was commercially launched in November 2008. The VBAS addresses a market that has not changed materially in over 50 years in contrast to development in most other neuro-surgical technologies.

The second product in Vycor Medical's pipeline is the Cervical Access System (VCAS), which requires further prototyping and successful market testing prior to commercialization launch. Like the VBAS, this product is designed to assist the surgeon in cervical surgeries, allowing the surgeon to gain access to the anterior cervical surgery site.

Vycor Medical has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its products, with which we are authorized to take market our products in the U.S. without further approvals.

Vycor Medical's Products

Viewsite Brain Access System (VBAS)

To access a surgical site in the brain, the surgeon needs to remove part of the skull (crainiotomy) and then part (retract) the soft brain tissue to access the target site. The current standard of care utilizes a metal blade retractor to force the tissue apart; to maintain the opening the blades are attached to a head frame and tension is applied to the tissue

The VBAS series is used by neurosurgeons to access the surgical site in the brain. This is done by inserting the VBAS into the brain tissue and then removing the VBAS introducer, leaving the remaining hollow working channel in place to provide the surgeon with access to the precise location desired for surgery.

The VBAS is available in multiple sizes and is a single-use product. The series consists of twelve disposable products, offered in four different port diameters of 17mm and 21mm, 12mm and 28 mm and a choice of three lengths for each of 3, 5, and 7cm. We intend to add additional models in the future.

We believe our Brain Access System offers several advantages over the brain retractor systems, commonly known as ribbon or blade retractors that are metallic. When designing the products, we felt that if we could incorporate certain features into our products, the surgeon reaction and acceptance would be favorable. We attempted to incorporate the following features:

           
     
      Gently separate delicate tissue by utilizing a tapered forward edge;  
      Minimize venous pressure caused by pulling tissue in one direction in the brain;  
      To allow direct surgical visualization of the brain tissue via optically transparent construction;  
      Reduce "target shift" to allow the surgeon to reach the site accurately;  
      Minimize healthy tissue damage while reaching the target site;  
      Allow for accurate neuronavigational image guidance systems ("IGS") performance;  
      Integrate in due course with the leading surgical IGS systems such as Medtronic® and BrainLab®, Stryker and GE;  
      Improve surgical outcomes (reducing potential surgeon and hospital liability), for example, decreased insertion tissue trauma, less need for readjustment during surgery and minimum interface surface pressures;  
      Reduce damage to healthy brain tissue potentially leading to shorter post-op recovery and reduced hospital stay  

VBAS products have the potential to significantly reduce brain tissue trauma resulting from the currently used retractors when accessing deep brain targets. First, the unique design of the product can minimize the size of the brain entry access necessary for surgical procedures, and in turn the amount of brain tissue exposed. For instance, a brain procedure involving the removal of a 7cm cystic astrocyctoma would result in an access site (corticotomy) of approximately 20mm. However, the same procedure that was performed utilizing the Company's VBAS product required a corticotomy of only 2mm.

Because our products are relatively new to the market, there is no guarantee that any of the above mentioned features would prove effective and be useful to the end user.

IGS Opportunity for the Brain Access System

The VBAS product has the potential to improve accuracy in targeting the surgical site when used with Image Guidance Systems (IGS), by addressing two substantial IGS-related problems of target shifting and the lack of real-time retractor positioning data during procedures:

•     Target Shifting

The normal surgical procedure utilizing standard retractors in brain surgery require pulling away the healthy tissue to expose the targeted region of the brain located underneath. However, in many cases, the amount of pulling required causes the targeted area to shift away from what is shown on the IGS system. This target shifting then requires the surgeon to cause possible additional trauma to healthy tissue and spend additional time as the shifted target area is located and the retractor is repositioned. The VBAS system is designed to minimize or eliminate target shift, as the elliptical shape of the product distributes relatively uniform pressure on the surrounding brain tissue.

5


•     Real-Time Retractor Positioning Data

Current retractor technology (commonly known as ribbon or blade retractors) does not integrate well with IGS systems. During insertion and retraction, the surgeon typically does not have real-time data to allow visualization of retractor insertion on the IGS monitor. The VBAS product line has the potential to adapt to IGS systems, such that the use of a Brain Access System unit will allow the surgeon to see on the surgical monitor, in real-time, exactly where the retractor is in relation to critical brain structures and underlying pathologies. With the IGS enabled unit, the tip of the introducer is literally the "pointer" on the IGS system.

Vycor Medical Product Pipeline

Brain Access and Related Products

The Company's future plans include developing additional Brain Access Systems that are designed for the requirements of specific surgical applications like aneurisms, tumors and endoscopic work and identifying other products that can be used in conjunction with our VBAS product.

Cervical Access Products

The Company will continue its preliminary work to design Cervical Access System products which would be used by the surgeon to access the anterior cervical surgical site (the uppermost vertebrae located in the neck). While the Company has filed certain intellectual property applications with respect to this technology, such development is in an early stage.

Sales and Marketing

Domestic Sales Strategy

VBAS was launched in November 2008 with a strategy of driving sales through leading neurosurgeons. In this regard, the Company has adopted a dual strategy of targeting both the leading neurosurgeons and the leading neurosurgery hospitals. The Company believes that out of the 4,500 neurosurgeons in the US approximately 1,500 focus predominantly on craniotomies or cranial procedures that could potentially benefit from the VBAS product.

We are currently using independent distributors who have existing relationships with neurosurgeons and target hospitals to drive our sales. The Company's distributors have approximately 50 sales representatives who cover approximately 75% of the U.S. population.

International Sales

The Company utilizes select medical device distributors with experience in neurosurgical devices in select countries. In Europe, the company has agreements with distributors for Spain, Italy, Belgium, Scandinavia, Switzerland and the U.K. who are all focused in neurosurgery. In China, Vycor Medical has an exclusive distribution agreement for VBAS, which received SFDA approval in December 2011 when the first shipments were made. Vycor also has regulatory approval in Japan and Australia with distribution agreements in place or being put into place, and has filed for regulatory approval in Russia and Korea.

Reference Hospitals Program

The Company has developed a Reference Hospital Program to identify centers of excellence and to provide neurosurgeons with evidence of support for our products.

VBAS Market and the Hospital Adoption Process

The market for VBAS in the US is relatively concentrated, with approximately 1,500 neurosurgeons focusing on the relevant procedures. Teaching hospitals not only carry out more relevant procedures but also provide a natural way to drive adoption through the conversion of new surgeons. We focus our efforts initially on surgeons as the principle proponent within the hospital. Vycor has found that the learning curve is only 1-2 cases for surgeons, who like the simplicity of design and ease of use after trialing the product. Hospital Administration is required to approve the purchase of a new product and sometimes even a trial or evaluation product. The focus for Hospital Administration is the potential hard and soft cost savings and benefits of VBAS versus the cost compared to existing practice. We use clinical studies, papers and other peer reviews evidencing the clinical benefits of the products as well as surgery time in the operating room.

6


Experience has been that the approval process can take up to six months for each hospital, and in some cases may even be longer. However, this time reduces as more leading hospitals become approved and as more clinical paper/studies and other peer reviews are published. Management is assembling a body of clinical evidence to speed up the adoption process.

Peer Review and Other Clinical Studies

The publication of clinical papers in neurosurgery journals by surgeon-users of VBAS regarding their experiences with the products (peer review papers), and the publication of other clinical data, is important for the Company as it continues to evidence the clinical superiority of VBAS. During 2011 the following papers were published:

"Usage of a Minimally Invasive Tubular Retraction System for Deep-Seated Tumors in Pediatric Patients" in Journal of Neurosurgery in May 2011: Pediatrics. Co-authors Pablo Recinos, M.D., of the Cleveland Clinic and George Jallo, M.D., of Johns Hopkins University conclude that while access to deep-seated, intra-axial tumors is challenging, the ViewSite™ tubular retractor and frameless neuro navigation facilitated the surgical approach and the combination of these technologies adds to the surgeon's armamentarium to safely approach tumors in deep locations.

"Vycor Viewsite TC: Endoscope-guided Intraparenchimal Brain Tumor Resection," by Daniel Prevedello, M.D., Director of the Minimally Invasive Cranial Surgery Program at the Ohio State University. Dr Prevedello reported on a case with a patient taking Avastin®, which delays surgical wound healing. He said the Viewsite TC was essential to the surgery; otherwise, no procedure could have been performed on the patient.

"Minimally Invasive Trans-Portal Resection of Deep Intracranial Lesions" in Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, February 2011 a Johns Hopkins University paper by lead author A. Quinones Hinojosa. The authors reported a case series of 9 adult and pediatric patients with a variety of pathologies, including colloid cyst, DNET, papillary pineal tumor, anaplastic astrocytoma, toxoplasmosis and lymphoma. The locations of the lesions approached included: lateral ventricle, basal ganglia, pulvinar/posterior thalamus and insular cortex. Post-operative imaging was assessed to determine extent of resection and extent of white matter damage along the surgical trajectory. Satisfactory resection or biopsy was obtained in all patients. "VBAS lends itself well to minimally invasive microsurgical approaches and can be used in combination with modern navigational systems. The use of navigation permits not only the creation of a smaller craniotomy but also facilitates the creation of a trajectory that provides efficient and safe means for splitting white fiber tracts," said the authors.

A comparative clinical animal study is currently being conducted at a leading university hospital, in which procedures will be performed using VBAS and blade retractors at the same time. Time and ease of surgery, and white matter damage will be comparatively measured during surgery and by post-operative MRI.

Manufacturing

Vycor Medical has executed agreements with Lacey Manufacturing Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut ("Lacey") and C&J Industries, Meadville PA ("C&J") to provide a full range of engineering, contract manufacturing and logistical support for our products.

Lacey and C&J are recognized leaders in the medical contract manufacturing sector, providing vertically integrated full services. They are U.S. Food and Drug Administration registered and meet ISO standards and certifications. Lacey and C&J have shipped orders to Vycor Medical and have made production runs of all 12 sizes.

NovaVision, Inc.

Introduction

NovaVision develops non-invasive, computer-based visual neuro-stimulation therapy called VRT for those suffering from vision loss resulting from neurological trauma. VRT is a patient-specific diagnostic and therapeutic platform that improves patient's vision and enables them to experience significant functional improvements. VRT is currently focused on visual deficits resulting from stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other acquired brain injuries. NovaVision operates in the US and in Germany through a wholly-owned subsidiary.

VRT is successful in treating vision loss because people look with their eyes and see with their brain. VRT is based on NovaVision's platform technology which management believes induces neuroplasticity, the brain's natural ability to repair or remap broken neural connections that cause vision loss. Before VRT, such patients were informed that their vision loss would likely be permanent and they were prescribed therapy or aids to merely compensate for their lost vision.

VRT is a patient-specific diagnostic and therapeutic platform. The VRT diagnostic program maps the area of lost visual field. Proprietary algorithms help generate a customized therapy which delivers light-based stimuli to neurologically stimulate the visual cortex of the brain and restore the lost visual field. VRT is generally performed over a six month period, twice a day for an hour total, six days a week. The Company maintains broad IP protection. NovaVision has collected significant amounts of data from clinical studies and peer reviewed papers that support the Company's claims about the benefits of its platform technology for vision restoration and other indications. NovaVision has received 510(k) clearance and CE Marking for VRT.

Platform Technology

The management of NovaVision believes that the underlying basis for the visual field recovery it has witnessed, and the functional outcome improvements it has noted with its patients is largely due to neuroplasticity of the visual field which is the brain's ability to remap or repair itself in response to a pre-programmed and deliberate stimulation. Neuroplasticity has been discussed over the last 20 years or so and as far back as 1990 Gilbert & Weisel talked about the cortex not having a fixed functional architecture.. The platform technology is comprised of proprietary algorithms that generate patient-specific therapies which enable NovaVision's products to be used as both diagnostic and therapeutic tools. The platform technology generates light-based, or photic, stimulus programs consisting of a fixation point on a display screen. As the patient focuses on this fixation point, a series of photic stimuli are delivered on the screen that are specific to the patient's neurological requirements, and relayed directly to the brain using the eye as a conduit.

Management believes that it is this programmed light sequences that stimulate the border zone between the "seeing" and "blind" visual fields and which induces neuroplasticity. The diagnostic algorithm in the VRT product first maps the visual field and defines the areas of defect in patients suffering vision loss. The therapeutic algorithm in the VRT product is then specifically designed for each patient based upon the results of the diagnostic program and it repetitively challenges the visual cortex with thousands of stimuli over the course of time. While neuroplasticity for explaining VRT has never been conclusively demonstrated, Randy Mashall's study using MRI did demonstrate that VRT results in increased neural activity in the visual cortex. Management is also aware of other studies which should be published during the course of 2011 which will shed further light on this. Irrespective of mechanism, patient studies point to significantly improved functional outcomes for patients who have done VRT treatment. This improvement manifests itself in greater confidence to move around and an average shift of 4.9 degrees in the border between seeing and blind visual fields. The visual field is the portion of space surrounding an individual which is visible at any given time by that individual while their gaze is held stationary. To humans, the central 10° of visual field holds the greatest functional importance for focal and cognitive tasks.

Clinical Data Relating to VRT

NovaVision has accumulated significant amounts of clinical data as a result of company-sponsored trials as well as studies conducted by independent third parties.

A large retrospective VRT study indicated that 88% of patients experience an improvement in at least one of their daily life activities

75% of patients experience and improvement in their mobility which is regarded as the most important functional task

Time since injury does not seem to matter so historical backlog of patients can be treated

Results do not appear to be not age or gender dependent

Pipeline Products Utilizing NovaVision's Platform Technology

Management is looking to further develop its product range leveraging its existing technology platform. To this end it is in the process of launching a second generation of portable visual field screening device called head mounted perimeter (HMP). The Company has registration to sell the HMP as a Class 1 device as a screening tool for physicians. Physicians would use this novel portable HMP as a low-cost screening tool providing automated perimetry for visual field screenings performed more efficiently in the clinician's office, waiting room, nursing homes or within the hospital setting by Ophthalmologists, Optometrists and even the Primary Care Physician. The visual field test qualifies for reimbursement under CPT code 92082 (ranging from $60 - $70). While entirely focused on just screening and as such not as complex as an Oculus or Humphreys its screening ability is actually more resolute as it tests every 4 degrees compared to every 6 degrees. Its greatest advantage is its portability which enables it to be utilized in a number of situations where patients with a Visual Field Deficit may otherwise not be able to take a table mounted test.

Regulatory Matters

In the U.S., NovaVision's products are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") as Class U medical devices subject to 510(k) clearances, and in Europe NovaVision has CE Marking for VRT as a Class I device. NovaVision received its 510(k) clearance for VRT specific to Stroke and TBI indications in 2003.

Acquisition of Sight Science, Ltd.

On January 4, 2012, NovaVision, entered into various agreements with Professor Arash Sahraie ("Prof. Sahraie") and the University of Aberdeen (Scotland) (the "University"), relating to the acquisition of all of the shares of Sight Science, Ltd. ("Sight Science") by NovaVision. In consideration of the Share Purchase Agreement and other transaction agreements, the Company agreed to pay the Sight Science shareholders £200,000 (US$ 310,660) cash, of which £100,000 (US$155,330) was paid at the Closing and an additional £100,000 (US$155,330) cash to be paid to the Sight Science shareholders on the one-year anniversary of the Closing. In addition, the Sight Science shareholders received at Closing further consideration in the form of an aggregate of 14,350,000 restricted shares of the Company, which are the subject of lock-up agreements between the Parties and which at Closing were valued at £184,768 (US$287,000).

Sight Science was established in 2009 based on the research of Professor Arash Sahraie at the University of Aberdeen. Sight Science, which is owned jointly by Prof. Sahraie and the University of Aberdeen, provides an interactive computer-based therapy called Neuro-Eye Therapy ("NeET"), which patients administer at home. To date, over 100 patients have utilized NeET. The Company has 5 patents granted in the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland and Singapore and 2 patents pending in the U.S. and Canada. Prof. Sahraie has conducted extensive research on blindsight and residual visual processing after brain injury, and is highly regarded in the field.

As part of the transaction, Prof. Sahraie agreed to join NovaVision as its Chief Scientific Officer on a part-time secondment basis from the University for a minimum of 5 years. Prof. Sahraie is responsible for driving NovaVision's scientific effort to develop and validate technologies in vision rehabilitation for visual field defects resulting from brain injury. The acquisition also created a long-term relationship between the Company, NovaVision and the University, which is a leading medical research center. In connection with the transaction, the University entered into an Option Agreement with Sight Science whereby Sight Science is granted an option over certain related developments created by Prof. Sahraie and his laboratory. The University also entered into a Patent Agreement and Assignation Agreement with Sight Science where all of the intellectual property held by the University and which was related to Sight Science's business was assigned to Sight Science.

Both NovaVision's VRT and Sight Science's NeET work on the basis that repeated stimulation of the blind areas by either bright patches of light (VRT) or the specific spatial patterns (NeET) and can lead to increases in sensitivity of the blind areas. Patients progress after VRT appears to be initiated at the blind and sighted borders whereas NeET results in changes deep within the field damage. Both therapies are able to demonstrate improvements in both visual sensitivity and activities of daily living. The Company believes that these therapies are highly complementary.

The certification of a quality management system to ISO 13485, specifically for medical devices, is advantageous and often essential for medical companies to export their products to the global market, as well as maintain and enter into certain agreements and business growth opportunities within the U.S. For example, Canada requires that medical device manufacturers marketing their products in Canada must have a quality system certified to ISO 13485:2003. The certification is also required for placement of branded devices into the European Union.

Fully Quality Assurance System Directive 93/42/EEC for Medical Devices, Annex II (3)

EC Design-Examination Certificate Directive 93/42/EEC for Medical Devices, Annex II (4)

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimated. To the extent management's estimates prove to be incorrect, financial results for future periods may be adversely affected. Significant estimates and assumptions contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, amortization of intangible assets, and the fair values of options and warrant included in the determination of debt discounts and share based compensation.

14


Going Concern

The Company's financial statements have been presented on a basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, including a net loss of $4,778,541 for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the Company expects to continue to incur substantial additional losses in the future, including additional development costs, costs related to marketing and manufacturing expenses. The Company has incurred negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of December 31, 2011 the Company had a stockholders' equity of $875,324 and cash and cash equivalents of $950,841. The Company believes it would not have enough cash to meet its various cash needs unless the Company is able to obtain additional cash from the issuance of debt or equity securities. There is no assurance that additional funds from the issuance of equity will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may have to delay development or commercialization of products or technologies that the Company would otherwise seek to commercialize, or cease operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Research and Development

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the amounts charged to research and development expenses were $115,665 and $15,208, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Cash balances may at times exceed the FDIC insured limits. Cash also includes a US investment account in a money market backed by government securities up to 105% of the account balance. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Included within cash are deposits paid by patients, held by the Company until the patient returns the VRT device at the end of therapy. At December 31, 2011 and 2010 patient deposits amounted to $25,000 and $0, respectively, and are reserved against in Other Current Liabilities.

Property and equipment

The Company records property and equipment at cost and calculates depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is estimated to be between three and seven years. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense when incurred. Replacements and major renewals are capitalized

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the current authoritative guidance. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when it is more likely than not that such benefit will not be realized.

Patents and Other Intangible Assets

The Company capitalizes legal and related costs associated with the establishment and enhancement of patents for its products once patents have been applied for. Costs associated with the development of the patented item or processes are charged to research and development costs as incurred. The capitalized costs are amortized over the life of the patent. The Company reviews intangible assets on an annual basis using a present value, cash flow method based upon the authoritative guidance. Trademarks have an indefinite life and are reviewed annually by management for impairment in accordance with the authoritative guidance.

Revenue Recognition

Vycor Medical generates revenue from the sale of its surgical access system to hospitals and other medical professionals. Vycor Medical records revenue when a completed contract for the sale exists, the product is invoiced and shipped to the customer. Vycor Medical does provide for product returns or warranty costs.

15


NovaVision generates revenues from various programs, therapy services and other sources such as government grants. Therapy services revenues represent fees from NovaVision's vision restoration therapy software, diagnostic software, medical devices, clinic set up and training fees, and the professional and support services associated with the therapy. NovaVision recognizes revenue for providing the vision restoration therapy as the Company's work effort is expended. NovaVision provides vision restoration therapy directly to patients. The typical vision restoration therapy consists of six modules, performed on average over 6 months in the U.S. and 10 months in Germany. A patient contract comprise set-up fees and monthly therapy fees. Set-up fees are recognized at the outset of the contract and therapy revenue is recognized ratably over the therapy period. Patient therapy is restricted to being completed by a patient within a specified time frame.

Research grants and other subsidies represent revenue from certain German government agencies to cover certain patients within an insurance group and also to reimburse NovaVision AG for certain payroll and other costs. The Company recognizes grant revenue when services or costs have been incurred which would entitle the Company to use the German government funds, and the grant requirements have been satisfied.

Deferred revenue results from patients paying for the therapy in advance of receiving the therapy.

Accounts Receivable

The Company's accounts receivable are due from the hospitals and distributors in the case of Vycor Medical, and from patients directly therapy or physicians for diagnostic products in the case of NovaVision. Accounts receivable are due once products have been delivered or at the time the therapy is initiated; however, for NovaVision therapy patients sometimes credit is extended through various payment plans based on individual financial conditions, generally not to exceed the 9 or 10 month therapy period. The outstanding balances are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, and the customer's ability to pay its obligations. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.

Inventory

Inventories are comprised of Vycor Medical VBAS devices, components ancillary to NovaVision's medical device provided to patients and centers and diagnostic products, and are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined under the first-in, first-out method. The inventory is charged to cost of revenue at the time that a device is shipped to a customer or patient.

Foreign Currency

The Euro is the local currency of the country in which NovaVision AG conducts its operations and is considered the functional currency of this entity. All balance sheet amounts are translated to U.S. dollars using the U.S. exchange rate at the balance sheet date except for the equity section which is translated at historical rates. Operating statement amounts are translated using an average exchange rate for the period of operations. Foreign currency translation effects are accumulated as part of the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and included in shareholders' (deficit) in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Educational marketing and advertising expenses

The Company may incur costs for the education of customers on the uses and benefits of its products. The Company will include education, marketing and advertising expense as a component of selling, general and administrative costs as such costs are incurred.

Vycor Medical recorded revenue of $548,463 from the sale of its products in 2011, an increase of 78% over 2010. The increase in sales was attributable to greater penetration and usage of our product in hospitals in the United States both direct and through distributors, and increased sales internationally. In December 2011 VBAS received SFDA approval to be marketed in the People's Republic of China (PRC) and shipped its first order with a value of $170,000. Approximately 39% of sales were international in 2011 compared to 20% in 2010. Gross margin of 80% was achieved in 2011 compared to 85% for 2010. Gross margin is mostly a product of sale mix between US sales through distributors, US sales direct and international sales. International sales are all indirect through distributors and end-market prices internationally tend to be lower. In addition in 2011 Vycor Medical had one-off costs from a packaging life extension program.

NovaVision recorded revenues of $422,904 for the period ended December 31, 2011 and a gross margin of 84%.

Research and Development Expense:
Research and development expenses were $115,665 in 2011 compared to $15,208 for 2010. The increase in R&D expense relates primarily to the inclusion of NovaVision in the 2011 period and the development work carried out on new products and technologies.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses increased by $3,067,946 to $4,987,120 for 2011 from $1,919,174 for 2010. Included within General and Administrative Expenses are non-cash charges for share based compensation as the result of amortizing employee and non-employee shares, warrants and options which have been issued by the Company over various periods. The charge for 2011 was $1,755,661, an increase of $1,412,797 over $342,864 in 2010. The increase was primarily related to the recognition of $658,651 for fully vested warrants issued to Fountainhead during the 2011 period, the recognition of common stock issued to Jerrald Ginder and GreenBridge Capital Partners IV, LLC and the addition of members to the Board of Directors and the NovaVision Scientific Advisory Board who are partly compensated in stock. The remaining General and Administrative increase of $1,655,149 reflects approximately $1,150,990 of additional expenses related to the inclusion of NovaVision in 2011, increased professional and consulting fees, including increased consulting fees with Fountainhead following the NovaVision acquisition, and higher levels of marketing activities in Vycor Medical. In addition there were $119,273 of non-recurring costs; $70,463 with regard the accrual of a retention bonus to Ken Coviello, the Chief Executive, in relation to the 2009 Recapitalization Agreement; and $48,810 with regard to the accrual of a vendor settlement relating to the distribution of certain NovaVision products in Germany prior to the acquisition of NovaVision by Vycor.

Interest Expense:

Interest expense comprises: interest expense on the Company's debt and insurance policy financing. Interest expense for 2011 was increased by $81,260 to $127,142 from $45,882 for 2010, as a result of an increase in average debt levels during the year.

In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. See "Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements" above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors
Vycor Medical Inc. and Subsidiaries
Boca Raton, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vycor Medical Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vycor Medical Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred a loss since inception, has a net accumulated deficit and may be unable to raise further equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.   FORMATION AND BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

Business Description

Vycor Medical, LLC was formed on June 17, 2005 as a New York Limited Liability Company. The Company changed its name to Vycor Medical, Inc. and converted to a Delaware Corporation on August 14, 2007 and issued 16,048 shares of common stock in exchange for each of the 1,122 partnership units outstanding at date of conversion. The assets, liabilities and operations of the Company did not change pursuant to this reorganization, and the accompanying financial statements are presented as if the change occurred on the first day of the earliest period presented. Accordingly, all references to number of shares prior to the date of conversion are based upon the common stock equivalent of the partnership units outstanding on such dates.

The Company designs, develops and markets neurological medical devices and therapies through two operating divisions: Vycor Medical and NovaVision. Vycor Medical focuses on brain and cervical surgical access systems for sale to hospitals and medical professionals; NovaVision focuses on neuro-stimulation therapies and diagnostic devices for the treatment and screening of vision field loss.

2.   GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements have been presented on a basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, including a net loss of $4,778,541 for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the Company expects to continue to incur substantial additional losses in the future, including additional development costs, costs related to marketing and manufacturing expenses. The Company has incurred negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of December 31, 2011 the Company had a stockholders' equity of $875,324 and cash and cash equivalents of $950,841. The Company believes it would not have enough cash to meet its various cash needs unless the Company is able to obtain additional cash from the issuance of debt or equity securities. There is no assurance that additional funds from the issuance of equity will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may have to delay development or commercialization of products or technologies that the Company would otherwise seek to commercialize, or cease operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vycor Medical, Inc., and its subsidiaries, NovaVision, Inc. (a U.S. corporation incorporated in Delaware) and NovaVision AG (German corporation), a wholly owned subsidiary of NovaVision, Inc. (individually and collectively referred to herein as the Company), which is headquartered in Boca Raton, FL. The operations of NovaVision, Inc have been consolidated from November 30, 2010, the date of the acquisition of substantially all the assets of the former NovaVision, Inc. All material inter-company accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Research and Development

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the amounts charged to research and development expenses were $115,665 and $15,208, respectively.

Software Development Costs For Internal Use

The authoritative guidance requires software development costs to be capitalized upon completion of the preliminary project stage. Accordingly, direct internal and external costs associated with the development of the features and functionality of the Company's software for internal use, incurred during the application development stage, are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method of the estimated life of three years. The Company acquired internally developed software valued at $540,000 as part of the acquisition of the assets of NovaVision, Inc. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 there was no capitalization of software development costs.

F-5


Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Cash balances may at times exceed the FDIC insured limits. Cash also includes a US investment account in a money market backed by government securities up to 105% of the account balance. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Property and equipment

The Company records property and equipment at cost and calculates depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is estimated to be between three and ten years. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense when incurred. Replacements and major renewals are capitalized.

Patents and Other Intangible Assets

The Company capitalizes legal and related costs associated with the establishment and enhancement of patents for its products once patents have been applied for. Costs associated with the development of the patented item or processes are charged to research and development costs as incurred. The capitalized costs are amortized over the life of the patent.

The Company reviews intangible assets on an annual basis using a present value, cash flow method based upon the authoritative guidance. Trademarks have an indefinite life and are reviewed annually by management for impairment in accordance with the authoritative guidance

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the current authoritative guidance. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when it is more likely than not that such benefit will not be realized.

Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimated. To the extent management's estimates prove to be incorrect, financial results for future periods may be adversely affected. Significant estimates and assumptions contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, amortization of intangible assets, and the fair values of options and warrant included in the determination of debt discounts and share based compensation.

Revenue Recognition

Vycor Medical generates revenue from the sale of its surgical access system to hospitals and other medical professionals. Vycor Medical records revenue when a completed contract for the sale exists, the product is invoiced and shipped to the customer. Vycor Medical does provide for product returns or warranty costs.

NovaVision generates revenues from various programs, therapy services and other sources such as government grants. Therapy services revenues represent fees from NovaVision's vision restoration therapy software, diagnostic software, medical devices, clinic set up and training fees, and the professional and support services associated with the therapy. NovaVision recognizes revenue for providing the vision restoration therapy as the Company's work effort is expended. NovaVision provides vision restoration therapy directly to patients. The typical vision restoration therapy consists of six modules, performed on average over 6 months in the U.S. and 10 months in Germany. A patient contract comprises set-up fees and monthly therapy fees. Set-up fees are recognized at the outset of the contract and therapy revenue is recognized ratably over the therapy period. Patient therapy is restricted to being completed by a patient within a specified time frame.

Research grants and other subsidies represent revenue from certain German government agencies to cover certain patients within an insurance group and also to reimburse NovaVision AG for certain payroll and other costs. The Company recognizes grant revenue when services or costs have been incurred which would entitle the Company to use the German government funds, and the grant requirements have been satisfied.

Deferred revenue results from patients paying for the therapy in advance of receiving the therapy.

Accounts Receivable

The Company's accounts receivable are due from the hospitals and distributors in the case of Vycor Medical, and from patients directly therapy or physicians for diagnostic products in the case of NovaVision. Accounts receivable are due once products have been delivered or at the time the therapy is initiated; however, for NovaVision therapy patients sometimes credit is extended through various payment plans based on individual financial conditions, generally not to exceed the therapy period. The outstanding balances are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, and the customer's ability to pay its obligations. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.

Inventory

Inventories are comprised of Vycor Medical VBAS devices, components ancillary to NovaVision's medical device provided to patients and centers and diagnostic products, and are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined under the first-in, first-out method. The inventory is charged to cost of revenue at the time that a device is shipped to a customer or patient.

Foreign Currency

The Euro is the local currency of the country in which NovaVision AG conducts its operations and is considered the functional currency of this entity. All balance sheet amounts are translated to U.S. dollars using the U.S. exchange rate at the balance sheet date except for the equity section which is translated at historical rates. Operating statement amounts are translated using an average exchange rate for the period of operations. Foreign currency translation effects are accumulated as part of the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and included in shareholders' (deficit) in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Educational marketing and advertising expenses

The Company may incur costs for the education of customers on the uses and benefits of its products. The Company will include education, marketing and advertising expense as a component of selling, general and administrative costs as such costs are incurred.

Website Costs

The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the acquisition of hardware and development tools as well as the creation of database tools in connection with the Company's website pursuant to authoritative guidance. Other costs including the development of functionality and identification of software tools are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards to employees using a fair-value-based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. These standards require companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.

Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

We value financial instruments using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

There are three general valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value, as described below:

a)    Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Prices may be indicated by pricing guides, sale transactions, market trades, or other sources;

b)    Cost approach - Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost); and

c)    Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about the future amounts (includes present value techniques and option-pricing models). Net present value is an income approach where a stream of expected cash flows is discounted at an appropriate market interest rate.

F-7


Financial assets and liabilities are valued using either level 1 inputs based on unadjusted quoted market prices within active markets or using level 2 inputs based primarily on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets.  For certain long-term debt, fair value is based on present value techniques using inputs principally derived or corroborated from market data. Using level 3 inputs uses management's assessment about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability. In the Company's case this entailed assumptions used in pricing models for attached warrant calculations. Valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value are consistently applied.

The Company has no items that are subject to these standards as of December 31, 2011.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus dilutive potential common shares calculated using the treasury stock method.  Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce a net loss per share. The Company's potential dilutive shares, which include outstanding common stock options, convertible notes payable and warrants, have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for all periods as the result would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive as of the end of each period presented:

                             
        Decmeber 31,           December 31,        
        2011           2010        
  Stock options outstanding     833,333           833,333        
  Warrants to purchase common stock     262,096,921           90,191,077        
  Debentures convertible into common stock     55,308,960           47,414,223        
  Preferred shares convertible into common stock     139,555,546           -        
  Total     457,794,760           138,438,633        

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company's accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.

9.   SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Share-based payments include any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company's common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient the right to acquire shares of the Company's common stock. For share-based payments to employees, which consist only of awards made under the stock option plan described below, the Company accounts for the payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, "Stock Compensation" (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)). Share-based payments to consultants, service providers and other non-employees are accounted for under in accordance with ASC Topic 718, ASC Topic 505, "Equity Payments to Non-Employees" or other applicable authoritative guidance.

Stock Option Plan

The Company adopted the Vycor Medical, Inc Employee, Director, and Consultant Stock Plan (the "Plan") as of February 13, 2008. The Plan provides for both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to be granted to employees, officers, consultants, independent contractors, directors and affiliates of the Company.   The board of directors establishes the terms and conditions of all stock option grants, subject to the Plan and applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.  The options granted to participants owning more than 10% of the Company's outstanding voting stock must be granted at an exercise price not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.  The options

F-13


expire on the date determined by the board of directors, but may not extend mare than 10 years from the grant date, while incentive stock options granted to participants owning more than 10% of the Company's outstanding voting stock expire five years from the grant date. The vesting period for employees is generally over three years.  The vesting Period for non-employees is determined based on the services being provided. The maximum number of shares of stock which may be delivered under the plan shall automatically increase by a number sufficient to cause the number of shares covered by the plan to equal 10% of the total number of shares of stock then outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

Under ASC Topic 718, the Company estimates the fair value of option awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The grant date fair value is recognized over the option vesting period, the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Under these standards, compensation cost for employee cost for employee stock-based awards is based on the estimated grant-date fair value and recognized over the vesting period of the applicable award on a straight-line basis.  No employee stock options were granted for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Initial grants of options to purchase 500,000 shares were issued under the Plan on February 13, 2008 to each of Kenneth T. Coviello, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Heather N. Vinas, the Company's President at an exercise price of $0.135 per share.  The options vested 33-1/3% on each of the first, second, and third anniversary of the grant and expire February 12, 2018. Following Heather Vinas' resignation as President of the Company in May 2010, 166,667 unvested options were cancelled. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized share-based compensation only for the grant to Mr. Coviello, totaling $29,796.

Stock appreciation rights may be granted either on a stand alone basis or in conjunction with all or part of any other stock options granted under the plan.  As of September 30, 2011 there were no awards of any stock appreciation rights.

The Company from time to time issues common stock, stock options or common stock warrants to acquire services or goods from non-employees. Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, which is measured as of the "measurement date" using an option pricing model. The "measurement date" for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant.

The following assumptions were used in calculations of the Black-Scholes option pricing model in years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

  Vycor Common Stock fair value     $0.02-$0.03     $0.0125-$0.0175

10. INCOME TAXES  

The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. The Company has not reflected any tax benefit related to such net operating losses in the financial statements.  Prior to August 15, 2007 the Company was a limited liability company and losses were passed through to the individual members, therefore the Company only has potential tax benefits from the date it became a 'C' corporation.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income.

The authoritative guidance requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the level of historical taxable losses and projections of future taxable income (losses) over the periods in which the deferred tax assets can be realized, management currently believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. Accordingly, management has determined that a 100% valuation allowance is appropriate at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company's gross deferred tax assets and valuation allowance at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

                                         
                  December 31, 2011             December 31, 2010  
  Gross deferred tax assets                  2,100,000                 1,573,000  
  Valuation allowance                  (2,100,000 )               (1,573,000 )
  Net deferred tax asset                                   

As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,000,000 and $3,675,000, respectively.  The federal net operating loss carryforwards expire in the tax years 2027 through 2031.

Federal tax laws impose significant restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits in the event of a change in ownership of the Company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company's net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits may be subject to the above limitations.

At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company has available for carryforward German net operating losses of approximately $420,000 and $125,000 respectively, to be applied against future German taxable income which may be subject to certain restrictions and limitations. Such carryforwards are subject to certain restrictions and limitations in the event of changes in the NovaVision AG's ownership.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") (the Company's principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, and taking the matters which were the subject of certain remedial action described in our prior reports), the Company's CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(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) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  In light of the matters described above with respect to accounting for warrants issued under consulting or other service agreements and the beneficial conversion feature of certain convertible debt, the Company intends to re-evaluate its internal control over financial reporting and to implement such changes as it may deem appropriate in light of such re-evaluation.

The Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company's internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud.  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.
