Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Authentidate Holding Corp. (AHC) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and the corresponding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

As discussed more fully in Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on November 21, 2011 the company completed a transaction whereby its ExpressMD Solutions LLC joint venture became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. In prior periods the joint venture was included in our consolidated financial statements because the company had elected to provide the majority of funding for the joint venture and was deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For a number of years the company has experienced net losses and negative cash flow from operating activities as we focused on developing new products and services, refining our business strategies, expanding our addressable markets and repositioning the company for future growth. During this period our primary sources of funds have been the issuance of equity and the incurrence of third party debt. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, the company incurred a net loss of $2,733,000 and $5,248,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $2,114,000, the company had working capital of $266,000, an accumulated deficit of $182,588,000 and total shareholders’ equity of $632,000. These conditions indicate that the company may be unable to continue as a going concern. Based on our business plan, we expect our existing resources, revenues generated from operations and proceeds received from the exercise of outstanding warrants (of which there can be no assurance) to satisfy our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months; however, these resources may not be sufficient if we are required to repay our secured notes or redeem our outstanding shares of Series B and Series C preferred stock within the next 12 months. If we are required to repay or redeem these securities within the next 12 months, we may need to renegotiate the terms of such securities. If necessary, management of the company believes that it can reduce operating expenses and/or raise additional equity or debt financing to satisfy its working capital requirements. However, no assurances can be given that we will be able to support our costs through revenues derived from operations, generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our other obligations or successfully modify the terms of these securities. In addition, there can be no assurance that the company will be successful in raising additional capital or securing financing when needed or on terms satisfactory to the company.

On August 30, 2012, the company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to implement a one-for-two reverse stock split of its common stock and the company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on August 31, 2012. The reverse stock split was approved at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 21, 2012 where the stockholders authorized the board of directors to proceed with a reverse split and to determine the ratio of the split within an approved range. All common share, option and warrant amounts and related per share amounts have been restated for all periods presented to give effect to the reverse stock split.

 

2.	Loss Per Share

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

 

		Three Months Ended December 31,								Six Months Ended December 31,
		2012				2011				2012				2011
Net loss		$	(2,733	)		$	(1,664	)		$	(5,248	)		$	(3,579	)
Preferred stock dividends			(118	)			(93	)			(236	)			(188	)
Deemed preferred stock dividends			(254	)			—				(507	)			—

The deemed preferred stock dividends included in the loss per share calculation represent the accretion of the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the extension of the redemption date of the Series C 15% convertible redeemable preferred stock over the period from issuance through the redemption date. As discussed more fully in Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. All potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share for the periods presented because their impact is antidilutive. At December 31, 2012, employee and non-executive director options (2,727,000) warrants (13,632,000) Series C preferred stock (2,500,000) and Series B preferred stock (250,000) were outstanding. At December 31, 2011, employee and non-executive director options (2,375,000), warrants (4,879,000), Series C preferred stock (2,500,000) and Series B preferred stock (250,000) were outstanding.

 

3.	Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation by category is as follows (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended December 31,								Six Months Ended December 31,
		2012				2011				2012				2011
SG&A		$	70			$	60			$	141			$	114
Product development			10				11				20				21
Cost of revenues			5				2				10				4
Share-based compensation expense		$	85			$	73			$	171			$	139

The company computed the estimated fair values of all share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions set forth in the following table. The company based its estimate of the life of these options on historical averages over the past five years and estimates of expected future behavior. The expected volatility was based on the company’s historical stock volatility. The assumptions used in the company’s Black-Scholes calculations for fiscal 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

 

		Risk Free Interest Rate				Dividend Yield				Volatility Factor				Weighted Average Option Life (Months)
Fiscal year 2013			1.8	%			0	%			107	%			48
Fiscal year 2012			1.5	%			0	%			114	%			48

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of share-based compensation for employee stock options. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation as circumstances change and additional data becomes available over time, which may result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies. Such changes could materially impact the company’s fair value determination.

On August 23, 2011, the stockholders approved the 2011 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan). The 2011 Plan replaces the 2010 Employee Stock Option Plan and the 2001 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan. The 2011 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 3,350,000 shares of the company’s common stock in connection with stock options, restricted share awards and other stock compensation vehicles.

Stock option activity under the company’s stock option plans for employees and non-executive directors for the period ended December 31, 2012 is as follows (in thousands, except per share and average life data):

 

Employees Information		Number of Options				Weighted Average Exercise Price				Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)				Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, June 30, 2012			2,290			$	4.06
Granted			227				1.42
Expired/forfeited			(108	)			2.25
Outstanding, December 31, 2012			2,409			$	3.89				6.78			$	21
Exercisable at December 31, 2012			1,076			$	6.29				4.73			$	11
Expected to vest at December 31, 2012			1,064			$	1.96				8.44			$	8

 

Non-Executive Director Information		Number of Options				Weighted Average Exercise Price				Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)				Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, June 30, 2012			243			$	3.86
Granted			80				1.13
Expired			(5	)			4.50
Outstanding, December 31, 2012			318			$	3.16				5.56			$	1

Non-executive director options are granted at market price and vest on the grant date.

As of December 31, 2012, there was approximately $1,283,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements. Approximately $358,000 of this expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 30 months. The remaining expense will be recognized if certain vesting conditions are met.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $0 and $1,400 for the six month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the six month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $0.96 and $1.24, respectively. These values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The total fair value of options vested was $161,000 and $75,000 for the six month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In December 2012, the board of directors agreed that all non-employee directors would receive all of their cash director compensation, including amounts payable for committee service, service as a committee chair and per meeting fees, in restricted shares of our common stock or stock options issued at fair value in accordance with the terms of the 2011 Plan for periods ending after December 2012. For prior periods non-employee directors had the option to receive up to 100% of their cash compensation in restricted shares of our common stock. During the six months ended December 31, 2012, the company issued 48,206 shares of restricted common stock (valued at approximately $63,000) to certain non-executive directors in connection with this program. In January 2013, the company issued 27,326 shares of restricted common stock (valued at approximately $26,000) to such directors under the program.

4.	Marketable Securities

At December 31, 2012 our marketable securities consisted primarily of money market investments. We classify our investments as “available for sale” and they have been recorded at cost which approximates fair market value due to their variable interest rates. As a result, we have had no cumulative gross unrealized holding gains (losses) or gross realized gains (losses) from such investments through December 31, 2012. All income generated from these investments is recorded as interest income.

 

5.	Business Acquisition

In June 2008 we formed a joint venture with EncounterCare Solutions, Inc., called ExpressMD™ Solutions LLC to provide in-home patient vital signs monitoring systems and services. The company and EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. each owned fifty percent of the joint venture and neither party had any special rights under the joint venture agreement. ExpressMD Solutions did not have any assets or liabilities and EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. did not have any recourse to our general credit. ExpressMD Solutions was consolidated in our financial statements because the company elected to provide the majority of funding for the joint venture and was deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

On November 21, 2011, the company entered into a definitive Joint Venture Termination Agreement (the “Agreement”) with EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. (the “Seller”), providing for the assignment and transfer to the company of all of the membership interests held by Seller in ExpressMD Solutions. At the closing on November 21, 2011, the joint venture agreement was terminated, ExpressMD Solutions became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company and the Seller and an affiliated company of the Seller granted the company a license to use certain of their intellectual property, as described in more detail below. Pursuant to the Agreement, the company agreed to pay to the Seller $1,000,000 in cash and deliver to the Seller 750,000 shares of restricted common stock of the company. The cash payment was paid as follows: $50,000 prior to the date of the Agreement; $475,000 at the closing; $200,000 in April 2012; and $275,000, net of offsets, resulted in payments of $31,000 in September 2012. The company paid the cash consideration from cash on hand and the shares were issued out of the company’s authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the company, Seller and an affiliated company of Seller entered into an Intellectual Property License and Supply Agreement (the “License Agreement”) and the company and Seller entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the License Agreement, the company was granted a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use the intellectual property of the Seller and the affiliated company of the Seller to continue to commercialize and develop the remote patient monitoring devices and related software sold by ExpressMD Solutions and to develop improvements and other products based on such intellectual property. Further, pursuant to the License Agreement, the company shall supply to Seller, and Seller shall purchase exclusively from the company, such quantities of the ExpressMD Solutions device as is reasonably requested by Seller. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement the company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale of the shares of common stock issued at closing which was declared effective on April 5, 2012. The Agreement also provides that within 90 days immediately prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing date, the company shall assign the trademark “ExpressMD” to the Seller. At that time, the company will have a limited period within which to transition to a new trademark for the ExpressMD products.

The company believes that this transaction will provide it with greater flexibility to meet emerging market needs in the telehealth space and enable it to continue to offer innovative and leading-edge products and solutions to its customers. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, as discussed above, ExpressMD Solutions will continue to be consolidated in the company’s financial statements. As noted above, the company paid $1,000,000 in cash, forgave a receivable for approximately $58,000 and issued company stock valued at $1,215,000, based on the closing market price for the shares at closing, for a total purchase price of approximately $2,273,000. The company also incurred acquisition related costs of approximately $42,000 which were expensed as selling, general and administrative expenses and approximately $15,000 to cover the registration of the common stock issued in connection with the transaction. The company allocated the entire purchase price to the licensed intangible assets referred to above since the joint venture had no assets or liabilities on the closing date. We estimated the fair value of the license using level 3 inputs for future operating results and present value techniques applied to estimated royalty amounts which is a common method used to value licensed intangible assets. There was no bargain purchase gain or goodwill related to the transaction. As discussed above, Express MD Solutions was consolidated in our financial statements for all periods presented and, accordingly, no historical or pro-forma financial information is presented.

On March 9, 2012, the company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we sold an aggregate principal amount of $4,050,000 of senior secured promissory notes and warrants to purchase a total of 3,022,388 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $4,050,000. The secured notes are senior secured promissory notes and are not convertible into equity securities. The secured notes, as amended, are due and payable on the first to occur of October 31, 2013 or a subsequent financing, as defined. No interest shall accrue on the secured notes and they contain covenants and events of default customary for similar transactions. The secured notes are collateralized by a first priority lien on all of the company’s assets in accordance with, and subject to, a security agreement. The warrants are exercisable for a period of 54 months commencing on the six

month anniversary of the closing date at an initial exercise price of $1.34 per share, which is 101% of the consolidated closing bid price reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market on March 9, 2012. The closing of this financing occurred on March 14, 2012 and the net proceeds to us from the transaction, after deducting estimated offering expenses, were approximately $4,000,000. The following investors that participated in this financing are related parties to us. J. David Luce, a member of our board of directors, purchased an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 of secured notes and 1,119,403 warrants through affiliated entities, John J. Waters, also a member of our board of directors purchased an aggregate principal amount of $150,000 of secured notes and 119,940 warrants. In addition, our chief executive officer and a member of our board of directors, O’Connell Benjamin, and our chief financial officer, William Marshall, each purchased an aggregate principal amount of $50,000 of secured notes and 37,313 warrants. Further, Lazarus Investment Partners LLLP, which was the beneficial owner of approximately 16.2% of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the offering, purchased an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 of secured notes and 746,269 warrants. The manager of the general partner of Lazarus Investment Partners, LLLP is the brother of Dr. Todd A. Borus, a member of our board of directors. The participation by these investors was on the same terms as the other investors in the transaction.

On September 24, 2012, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which the company agreed to sell and issue to the investors an aggregate principal amount of $3,300,000 of senior secured promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants to purchase a total of 2,558,139 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $3,300,000. The notes are senior secured promissory notes and are not convertible into equity securities of the company and are due and payable on the first to occur of October 31, 2013 or the consummation of a subsequent financing, as defined. The secured notes are collateralized by a first priority lien on all of the company’s assets in accordance with, and subject to, a security agreement between the company and the investors. The warrants are exercisable for a period of 54 months commencing on the six month anniversary of the date on which they are issued and have an initial exercise price of $1.34 per share. The closing of the financing occurred on September 28, 2012. The following investors that participated in the financing are related parties of the company. An entity affiliated with J. David Luce, a member of our board of directors, and his spouse agreed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $1,150,000 of notes and 891,473 warrants and our chief executive officer and a member of our board of directors, O’Connell Benjamin, and our chief financial officer, William Marshall, each agreed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $50,000 of notes and 38,760 warrants. Further, Lazarus Investment Partners LLLP, which was the beneficial owner of approximately 23.8% of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the offering, agreed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 of notes and 775,194 warrants. The manager of the general partner of Lazarus Investment Partners, LLLP, is the brother of Dr. Todd A. Borus, a member of our board of directors. The participation by these investors was on the same terms as the other investors in the offering.

On September 24, 2012, we also entered into a transaction with the holders of the senior secured promissory notes issued in March 2012, to extend the maturity date of such notes to October 31, 2013 and grant pari passu rights to the new notes issued on September 28, 2012. In connection with and in consideration of this extension, we issued the holders of the notes issued in March 2012 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,197,674 shares of common stock with the same terms as the warrants issued to the new note holders. Due to their ownership of secured notes issued in March 2012, extension warrants were issued to the following related parties: entities affiliated with Mr. Luce were issued a total of 813,953 extension warrants; John Waters, a director, was issued 81,395 extension warrants, each of the company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer were issued 27,131 extension warrants and Lazarus Investment Partners was issued 542,636 extension warrants.

The company allocated the proceeds from the secured note transactions to the secured notes and the warrants based on the relative fair values of such instruments using the present value of the secured notes at a market rate of interest and the value of the warrants based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the applicable assumptions set forth in Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This allocation resulted in an effective interest rate for the secured notes from March 2012 through September 2012 of approximately 54% per annum. Following the extension of the secured notes issued in March 2012 the effective interest rate for the remaining term of such notes was approximately 47% per annum. The effective interest rate for the secured notes issued in September 2012 was approximately 41% per annum. However, since the subjective nature of the inputs for the option pricing models can materially affect fair value estimates, in management’s opinion, such models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the warrants and the resulting effective interest rates. In connection with the secured note transactions the company recorded senior secured promissory notes of $7,350,000, debt discount of $4,726,000 and additional paid-in-capital of $4,676,000 related to the fair value of the warrants. The non-cash amortization of the debt discount of $815,000 and $1,364,000 is included in the other (expense) income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, respectively.

9.	Preferred Stock and Redeemable Preferred Stock

In connection with a private placement transaction completed in October 2010 the company issued a total of 1,250,000 shares of Series C 15% convertible redeemable preferred stock. On April 9, 2012 the stockholders of the company approved amendments to the Series C 15% convertible redeemable preferred stock whereby the maturity date was extended by 12 months through April 12, 2013 and the dividend rate was increased to 20% per annum for the extension period. Following these amendments, each share of preferred stock has a stated value of $1.60 per share, and, subject to the rights of the company’s senior securities, has the following rights: (i) to receive dividends which accrue at the rate of 20% per annum (15% prior to April 13, 2012) payable in shares of common stock upon conversion or in cash upon redemption; (ii) effective upon shareholder approval, will convert into shares of common stock determined by dividing the stated value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, by the conversion price, which is initially $0.80; (iii) to receive a liquidation preference equal to the sum of the stated value of each share of preferred stock, plus dividends; and (iv) unless converted, to be redeemed by the company 30 months from the date of issuance at a redemption price equal to the 102.5% of the stated value of the preferred stock, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. Conversion of the shares of preferred stock is subject to the approval of the company’s stockholders in accordance with the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. If the company’s shareholders approve the conversion, the aggregate stated value of the shares of preferred stock will automatically convert into 2,500,000 shares of common stock. At December 31, 2012, the company has accrued dividends in the amount of approximately $737,000 related to these shares of preferred stock. The stated value of the preferred shares and the related accrued dividends are presented as temporary equity under the caption Redeemable preferred stock in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In connection with the amendments discussed above, the company issued warrants to purchase 825,000 shares of common stock to the holders of the Series C 15% convertible redeemable preferred stock. These warrants are exercisable commencing six months following their issuance for the period of 54 months at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, which is equal to 101% of the closing bid price of the company’s common stock, as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market, on the trading day immediately before the stockholders’ meeting on April 9, 2012. The warrants are exercisable for cash or by net exercise and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the applicable assumptions set forth in Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements was approximately $1,031,000.

As of December 31, 2012, there are 28,000 shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding. The Series B preferred stock was originally issued in a private financing in October 1999 and the conversion and redemption features were amended in October 2002 to provide for the rights and obligations described in this note. The company has the right to repurchase the outstanding Series B preferred stock at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The holder of such shares has the right to convert shares of preferred stock into an aggregate of 250,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $2.80 per share. In the event the company elects to redeem these securities, the holder will be able to exercise its conversion right subsequent to the date that we issue a notice of redemption but prior to the deemed redemption date as would be set forth in such notice. The company will be required to first redeem the Series B preferred stock if it is required to redeem the Series C preferred stock. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2012, the redemption value of the preferred shares and the related accrued dividends are presented as temporary equity under the caption redeemable preferred stock in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. At December 31, 2012, the company has accrued dividends in the amount of $17,500 which remain unpaid.

11.	Commitments and Contingencies

On January 6, 2012, ExpressMD Solutions LLC, a subsidiary of the company, was served with a summons and complaint in a purported patent infringement lawsuit filed by Robert Bosch Healthcare Systems, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) against ExpressMD Solutions LLC, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Case No. 5:12-cv-00068-JW. The complaint alleges that the ExpressMD Solutions’ “Electronic House Call” product infringes one or more claims of certain patents allegedly owned by the Plaintiff. Plaintiff is seeking injunctive relief, damages, punitive damages, interest, and other costs and expenses. ExpressMD Solutions filed an answer to the complaint on January 27, 2012 and asserted counterclaims seeking declarations that the patents are invalid and not infringed. On May 11, 2012, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, dropping two patents previously asserted and adding one new patent. Express MD Solutions filed a motion to dismiss on June 15, 2012, which the Court granted with leave for Plaintiff to amend the complaint. Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on July 24, 2012. Express MD filed an answer on August 7, 2012 and asserted counterclaims seeking invalidity of the patents and a declaration of non-infringement. On September 6, 2012 the case was reassigned to a new judge. An initial case management conference was held before the court on January 11, 2013. On January 21, 2013, Express MD Solutions filed a request for reexamination of one of the four patents asserted by Plaintiff. Additionally, two of the remaining three patents asserted by Plaintiff were placed into reexamination at the end of 2012 based on requests filed by a third party. The fourth patent asserted by Plaintiff expired on November 17, 2012. On January 22, 2013, Express MD Solutions filed a motion to stay the case pending the conclusion of the reexamination of Plaintiff’s three unexpired asserted patents. On January 22, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion with the court for leave to file a third amended complaint and first amended infringement contentions. Express MD Solutions filed a response in opposition to Plaintiff’s motion on February 5, 2013 and on such date Plaintiff filed an opposition to Express MD Solutions’ motion to stay the case. Express MD Solutions is preparing a reply in further support of its motion to stay. We believe that we have strong defenses to Plaintiff’s allegations and we intend to vigorously defend the litigation. In addition, we intend to exercise our rights of set-off and indemnification as against EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. and the co-licensor to us of the patents in issue. Based on the facts of which we are currently aware, management believes that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, this matter is subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s assessment may change in the future.

We are not currently engaged in any other litigation which would be anticipated to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

We have entered into employment agreements with our chief executive officer and chief financial officer that specify the executive’s current compensation, benefits and perquisites, the executive’s entitlements upon termination of employment, and other employment rights and responsibilities.

We have entered into various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification provisions are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations related to such matters as intellectual property rights. Payments by us under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned on the other party making a claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we

may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2012, we are not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.

 

12.	Income Taxes

The company continues to fully recognize its tax benefits which are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty that the deferred tax assets will be realized. We will continue to evaluate the realizability of our net deferred tax assets and may record additional benefits in future earnings if we determine the realization of these assets is more likely than not.

 

13.	Other (Expense) Income

Other (expense) income consists of the following (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended December 31,								Six Months Ended December 31,
		2012				2011				2012				2011
Amortization of debt discount		$	(815	)		$	—			$	(1,364	)		$	—
Amortization of deferred financing costs			(9	)							(9	)
Miscellaneous income			—				2				1				2
Total other (expense) income		$	(824	)		$	2			$	(1,372	)		$	2

 

14.	Fair Value Measurements

The company measures fair value for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the provisions of the accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements. The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. A brief description of those three levels is as follows:

 

•

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

•

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

•

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs.

The company’s assets subject to fair value measurements as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):

 

		Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy
		Fair value				Level 1				Level 2				Level 3
December 31, 2012
Current marketable securities— available for sale		$	210			$	210			$	—			$	—
Total		$	210			$	210			$	—			$	—
June 30, 2012
Current marketable securities— available for sale		$	210			$	210			$	—			$	—
Total		$	210			$	210			$	—			$	—

For the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, no gains or losses resulting from the fair value measurement of financial assets were included in the company’s earnings.

The accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The company has elected not to measure any eligible items at fair value.

15.	Accounting Standards Adopted in Fiscal 2013

The company has not adopted any significant new FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) during fiscal 2013 and, accordingly there has been no impact on the company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

16.	Common Stock Warrants

Except for the warrants issued in our September 2012 financing and to a consultant in December 2012, all of the outstanding warrants are exercisable. A schedule of common stock warrant activity is as follows (in thousands, except per share and average life data):

 

		Number of Shares				Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share				Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)				Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, June 30, 2012			8,651			$	1.53
Warrants issued			4,981				1.34
Outstanding, December 31, 2012			13,632			$	1.46				3.94			$	—

 

17.	Registered Direct Offering

On October 7, 2011, the company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with C.K. Cooper & Co., Inc. (“CKCC”) and an Engagement Agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Rodman & Renshaw LLC (“Rodman”) whereby it engaged them as co-placement agents (the “Placement Agents”) relating to a registered direct offering by the company to select investors. In addition, as of October 7, 2011, the company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and/or accredited investors pursuant to which the company agreed to sell an aggregate of 2,937,497 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and warrants to purchase a total of 1,468,752 shares of common stock to the investors for gross proceeds of $4.1 million. The purchase price of a share of common stock and warrant was $1.40. The warrants are exercisable for a period of four years commencing on the six month anniversary of the date on which they were issued and have an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The value of these warrants using the Black Scholes option pricing model was approximately $1.83 million. The transaction closed on October 13, 2011 and the net proceeds to the company, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and the company’s offering expenses, were approximately $3.6 million.

Overview

Authentidate Holding Corp. (Authentidate or the company) and its subsidiaries provide secure web-based software applications and telehealth products and services that enable healthcare organizations to increase revenues, improve productivity, reduce costs, coordinate care for patients and enhance related administrative and clinical workflows and compliance with regulatory requirements. Our web-based services are delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS) to our customers interfacing seamlessly with billing and document management systems. These solutions incorporate multiple features and security technologies such as rules based electronic forms, intelligent routing, transaction management, electronic signatures, identity credentialing, content authentication, automated audit trails and remote patient monitoring capabilities. Both web and fax-based communications are integrated into automated, secure and trusted workflow solutions.

Our telehealth solutions provide in-home patient vital signs monitoring systems and services to improve care for patients with chronic illnesses and reduce the cost of care by delivering results to their healthcare providers via the Internet. Our telehealth solutions combine our Electronic House Call™ patient vital signs monitoring appliances or our Interactive Voice Response patient vital signs monitoring solution with a web-based management and monitoring software module based on our Inscrybe^® Healthcare platform. Both solutions enable unattended measurements of patients’ vital signs and related health information and are designed to aid wellness and preventative care, and deliver better care to specific patient segments who require regular monitoring of medical conditions. Healthcare providers can easily view each specific patient’s vital statistics and make adjustments to the patient’s care plans securely via the Internet. This service provides a combination of care plan schedule reminders and comprehensive disease management education as well as intelligent routing to alert on-duty caregivers whenever a patient’s vital signs are outside of the practitioner’s pre-set ranges. Healthcare providers and health insurers are also expected to benefit by having additional tools to improve patient care, and reduce overall in-person and emergency room patient visits.

Authentidate currently operates its business in the United States with technology and service offerings that address emerging growth opportunities based on the regulatory and legal requirements specific to each market. The business is engaged in the development and sale of web-based services largely based on our Inscrybe^® platform and related capabilities and telehealth services featuring our Electronic House Call and Interactive Voice Response products. In recent years we have focused our efforts on developing and introducing solutions for use in the healthcare information technology industry. We believe there are several factors that will be favorable for the healthcare information technology industry in the near future, despite lingering weakness in the global economy. Because healthcare information technology solutions play an important role in healthcare by improving safety, efficiency and reducing cost, they are often viewed as more strategic than other capital purchases. Most United States healthcare providers also recognize that they must invest in healthcare information technology to meet regulatory, compliance and government reimbursement requirements and incentive opportunities. In addition, government agencies, as well as politicians and policymakers appear to agree that the growing cost of our healthcare system is unsustainable. Leaders of both political parties recognize that the intelligent use of information systems will improve health outcomes and, correspondingly, drive down costs. The broad recognition that healthcare information technology is essential to help control healthcare costs and improve quality contributed to the inclusion of healthcare information technology incentives in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The ARRA and accompanying Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) provisions include more than $35 billion in incentives for healthcare organizations to modernize operations through “meaningful use” of healthcare information technology. We believe that these incentives are contributing to increased demand for healthcare information technology solutions and services in the United States.

Another element in the United States marketplace is ongoing healthcare reform which we believe could drive insurance coverage to an estimated 32 million additional consumers and may have many second order effects on our customers. For example, healthcare providers may face increased volumes that could create capacity constraints, and they may find it challenging to profitably provide care at the planned reimbursement rates under the expanded coverage models. We also expect additional compliance and reporting challenges for our customers in the areas of pay-for-quality, coding requirements, and waste, fraud and abuse measures. We believe the above factors create strong incentives for providers to maximize efficiency and create the need for additional investments in healthcare information technology solutions and services. Thus, while the current economic environment has impacted our business, we believe the fundamental value proposition of healthcare information technology remains strong and that the healthcare information technology industry will likely benefit as healthcare providers and governments continue to recognize that these solutions and services contribute to safer, more efficient healthcare.

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flow from operating activities while we have been focused on developing new products and services, refining our business strategies and repositioning our businesses for growth. Although we believe we are well positioned for such growth, we expect to continue to generate net losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we seek to expand our potential markets and generate increased revenues. As discussed in more detail below, we have completed several financing transactions, and sold non-core assets to fund our working capital needs. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. As discussed in more detail in Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on November 21, 2011 we completed a definitive joint venture termination agreement with our joint venture partner, EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. (Seller), whereby our joint venture relationship was terminated and ExpressMD Solutions became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. We also entered into a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use the intellectual property of the Seller and an affiliated company to continue to commercialize and develop our ExpressMD telehealth products and services. In connection with these transactions we agreed to pay the Seller $1.0 million in cash of which $0.525 million was paid through closing, $0.20 million was paid in April 2012 and $0.275 million, net of amounts offset in connection with the litigation discussed in Item 1 – Legal Proceedings, resulted in payments of $31,000 in September 2012. We also issued 750,000 shares of our common stock to the Seller. The company paid the cash consideration from cash on hand and issued the shares of common stock out of its authorized but unissued shares.

During fiscal 2013 we have continued to take steps to refine our core product and service offerings, significantly expand our addressable markets, manage operating costs and position the company for long-term growth. We are focused on refining and marketing our Inscrybe^® Healthcare Referral Management and Hospital Discharge solutions and our telehealth products and services. As discussed above, we believe our business will benefit as the federal government healthcare reforms are implemented and as trends in the U.S. healthcare industry to significantly reduce costs, shorten the length of hospital stays, reduce hospital readmissions, shift patient care towards wellness and preventative care programs and automate healthcare records and processes take hold. Although we have taken steps to focus our business in these areas, our progress will be impacted by the timing of customer contracts and implementations and the market acceptance of our products and services.

During this period we have also advanced the development of our telehealth service offerings and continued to refine the capabilities of our Electronic House Call and Interactive Voice Response products and services. In April 2011, we announced that we had been selected as a supplier to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for its core coordination home Telehealth Program and in April 2012 we announced that the VA had exercised its first one-year option to extend the term of our contract, which also includes three additional one-year extension options. In July 2012, the VA successfully completed the required test-in phase for our Electronic House Call vital signs monitoring device and web-service and in October 2012, the VA completed the required test-in phase for our Interactive Voice Response solution for weight management and we received approval to begin the national rollout of these solutions to VA facilities throughout the U.S. and its territories. During the contract period, the company will be committed to provide, subject to purchase orders from the VA, telehealth devices and certain associated software solutions. We believe that the VA telehealth project positions the company for success as this market develops in the commercial sector and provides a significant growth opportunity for the company as we work to support the VA in its efforts to deliver quality care to our veterans. There can be no assurance that the VA will exercise any of the other option periods under the agreement nor can the company provide any assurances as to the actual amount of products and solutions, if any, that may ultimately be purchased by VA facilities under the agreement.

Our current revenues consist principally of transaction fees for web-based hosted software services and revenues from hardware sales, monthly monitoring services and maintenance fees from our telehealth business. Growth in our business is affected by a number of factors, including general economic and business conditions, and is characterized by long sales cycles. The timing of customer contracts, implementations and ramp-up to full utilization can have a significant impact on results and we believe our results over a longer period of time provide better visibility into our performance.

We intend to continue our efforts to market our web-based services and related products in our target markets. We also intend to focus on identifying additional applications and markets where our technology can address customer needs.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates, which include judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on a regular basis and make changes accordingly. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected.

A critical accounting estimate is based on judgments and assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in accounting estimates could materially impact our financial statements. We believe that the policies described below represent our critical accounting policies, as they have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, you should also review our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies beginning on page F-7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, software development costs, patent costs, trademarks and licenses are reviewed for impairment using an undiscounted cash flow approach whenever events or changes in circumstances such as significant changes in the business climate, changes in product offerings, or other circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived from web-based hosted software services, telehealth products and post contract customer support services. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed and collectability is reasonably assured. Multiple-element arrangements are assessed to determine whether they can be separated into more than one unit of accounting. A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met: the delivered item has value to the customer on a standalone basis; there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items in the arrangement; if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered items, and delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in our control. If these criteria are not met, then revenue is deferred until such criteria are met or until the period over which the last undelivered element is delivered, which is typically the life of the contract agreement. If these criteria are met, we allocate total revenue among the elements based on the sales price of each element when sold separately which is referred to as vendor specific objective evidence or VSOE.

Revenue from web-based hosted software and related services and post contract customer support services is recognized when the related service is provided and, when required, accepted by the customer. Revenue from telehealth products is recognized when such products are delivered. Revenue from multiple element arrangements that cannot be allocated to identifiable items is recognized ratably over the contract term which is generally one year.

Management Estimates

Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Examples include estimates of loss contingencies and product life cycles, assumptions such as elements comprising a software arrangement, including the distinction between upgrades/enhancements and new products; when technological feasibility is achieved for our products; the potential outcome of future tax consequences; and determining when investment or other impairments exist. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We make estimates on the future recoverability of capitalized amounts, we record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when we believe it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized and we make assumptions in connection with the calculations of share-based compensation expense. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates, judgments and assumptions. We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and we evaluate our estimates on a regular basis and make changes accordingly. Historically, our estimates relative to our critical accounting estimates have not differed materially from actual results; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions. If actual results differ from these estimates and other considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated statement of operations, and in certain situations, could have a material adverse effect on liquidity and our financial condition.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation expense is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which values options based on the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price of the option, the expected life of the option, the estimated volatility, expected dividend payments and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the options.

The company computed the estimated fair values of all share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions set forth in the following table. The company based its estimate of the life of these options on historical averages over the past five years and estimates of expected future behavior. The expected volatility was based on the company’s historical stock volatility. The assumptions used in the company’s Black-Scholes calculations for fiscal 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

 

		Risk Free Interest Rate				Dividend Yield				Volatility Factor				Weighted Average Option Life (Months)
Fiscal year 2013			1.8	%			0	%			107	%			48
Fiscal year 2012			1.5	%			0	%			114	%			48

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of share-based compensation for employee and director stock options. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation as circumstances change and additional data becomes available over time, which may result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies. Such changes could materially impact the company’s fair value determination.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade accounts receivable. To reduce credit risk, we place our cash, cash equivalents and investments with several high credit quality financial institutions and typically invest in AA or better rated investments. We monitor our credit customers and we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

Reverse Stock Split

On August 30, 2012, we filed an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to implement a one for two reverse split of our outstanding common stock and our common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis on August 31, 2012. As a result of the reverse stock split, each two shares of our outstanding common stock was combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. The reverse stock split affected all stockholders of our common stock uniformly, but did not materially affect any stockholder’s percentage of ownership interest. The par value of our common stock remains unchanged at $0.001 per share and the number of authorized shares of common stock remains the same after the reverse stock split. In connection with this reverse stock split, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our equity incentive, stock option plans as well as the shares of common stock underlying outstanding shares of preferred stock, stock options and warrants were also proportionately reduced while the conversion and exercise prices of these securities were proportionately increased. All references to shares of common stock and per share data for all periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split on a retroactive basis.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

Three and six months ended December 31, 2012 compared to three and six months ended December 31, 2011

Revenues were $1,051,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to $661,000 for the prior year period. These results reflect an increase in revenues from our telehealth products and services and from our hosted software services due primarily to new customers and higher transaction volumes. Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were $1,972,000 compared to $1,412,000 for the prior year period reflecting the same trends as the quarter.

Cost of revenues increased to $817,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to $502,000 for the same period in the prior year, due primarily to the higher telehealth revenues. Cost of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were $1,517,000 compared to $1,050,000 for the prior year period. The increase reflects the higher telehealth revenues for the period as well as higher data center maintenance expenses.

Selling general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to $1,626,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to $1,385,000 for the prior year period. The increase is due primarily to higher selling expenses, special shareholder meeting costs, legal, investor relations and stock option expenses. The prior year quarter also reflects a state payroll tax credit of approximately $115,000 which lowered expenses for the period. SG&A expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were $3,362,000 compared to $3,078,000 for the prior year period reflecting the same trends as the quarter.

Product development expenses were $313,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to $209,000 for the prior year period. The increase for the current period is due primarily to higher personnel expenses. Product development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were $561,000 compared to $417,000 for the prior year period due to higher personnel expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $204,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to $231,000 for the prior year period. This change is due primarily to lower expenses for fixed assets and a decrease in amortization of capitalized software offset in part by the amortization of acquired licenses. For the six months ended December 31, 2012 depreciation and amortization expense was $408,000 compared to $448,000 for the prior year period reflecting the same trends as the quarter.

Other expense was $824,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to other income of $2,000 for the prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2012 other expense was $1,372,000 compared to other income of $2,000 for the prior year period. Other expense for the periods consists primarily of non-cash amortization of the debt discount on the company’s senior secured notes payable.

Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was $2,733,000, or $0.11 per share, compared to $1,664,000, or $0.07 per share, for the prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2012 net loss was $5,248,000, or $0.22 per share compared to $3,579,000, or $0.15 per share, for the prior year period. The increase in net loss for the periods reflects the higher expenses and non-cash debt discount amortization discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our operations and product development activities have required substantial capital investment to date. Our primary sources of funds have been the issuance of equity and the incurrence of third party debt. In February 2004, we sold 5,360,370 common shares in private placements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506, promulgated thereunder and received net proceeds of approximately $69,100,000 after payment of offering expenses and broker commissions. The proceeds received from this financing have been used to provide funding for our operations and product development activities. In addition, we completed a $3,400,000 registered direct offering of shares of common stock and warrants in December 2009 and received net proceeds of approximately $3,500,000 from this financing and the related warrant exercises and we have completed a number of transactions over the past three years to increase our cash position and monetize non-core assets. In July 2010 we completed the sale of certain non-core assets and received net proceeds of approximately $2,350,000; in October 2010 the company completed the sale of $5,000,000 of its securities to institutional and accredited investors in a private placement transaction under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated thereunder and received net proceeds of approximately $4,470,000 from this transaction; and in April 2011 the company completed the sale of all of the shares of capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Authentidate International AG to Exceet Group, AG, a Swiss corporation and received net proceeds of approximately $1,300,000. As described in greater detail in Notes 8 and 17 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in October 2011 the company entered into agreements pursuant to which it sold 2,937,497 shares of our common stock and 1,468,752 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to institutional and/or accredited investors in a registered direct offering from which we received net proceeds of approximately $3,620,000; in March 2012 the company sold $4,050,000 of senior secured promissory notes and 3,022,388 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to accredited investors including several directors, officers and significant stockholders of the company from which we received net proceeds of approximately $4,000,000 and in September 2012 the company sold $3,300,000 of senior secured promissory notes and 2,558,139 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to

Table of Contents

accredited investors, including several directors and officers and significant stockholders of the company from which we received net proceeds of approximately $3,250,000. We are using the proceeds from these transactions for working capital and general corporate purposes, including supporting the rollout of our telehealth products and services. The senior secured notes are not convertible into equity securities and are due on the first to occur of October 31, 2013 or the consummation of a subsequent financing, as defined. No interest shall accrue on the senior secured notes and they are secured by a first priority lien on all of the company’s assets. The warrants are exercisable for a period of 54 months commencing on the six month anniversary of the issue date at an initial exercise price of $1.34 per share.

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, expenditures for data center equipment and other assets totaled approximately $79,000, expenditures for software licenses totaled approximately $8,000 and expenditures for the business acquisition discussed above totaled approximately $31,000. We have developed and intend to continue to develop new applications to grow our business and address new markets.

In August 2012 we filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 and a pre-effective amendment to such registration statement under the Securities Act in December 2012. The shelf registration statement, was declared effective by the SEC in December 2012 and replaces our prior shelf registration statement. The new shelf registration statement allows us to sell, from time to time in one or more public offerings, shares of our common stock, shares of our preferred stock, debt securities or warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, or any combination of such securities, for proceeds in the aggregate amount of up to $40 million, subject to SEC limitations. The terms of any such future offerings, if any, and the type of equity or debt securities would be established at the time of the offering. This disclosure shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. Any offer of the securities will be solely by means of the prospectus included in the registration statement and one or more prospectus supplements that will be issued at the time of the offering.

In December 2011, a special meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Amended Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 100,000,000 in order to provide us greater flexibility in considering our potential business needs. On April 9, 2012, at a special meeting of our stockholders the company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the company’s Certificate of Incorporation by an amendment to the company’s Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights and Number of Shares of Series C 15% Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock to extend the maturity date and increase the dividend rate of the Series C preferred stock for the extension period. In connection with this amendment, the company issued warrants to purchase 825,000 shares of common stock to the holders of its Series C preferred stock.

Cash Flows

At December 31, 2012, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities amounted to approximately $2,114,000 and total assets at that date were $12,619,000. Since June 30, 2012 cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased approximately $132,000 reflecting the issuance of company securities offset by cash used principally to fund operating losses, product development activities, changes in working capital and capital expenditures during the six months ended December 31, 2012. Cash used for the period includes investments in data center and related infrastructure equipment of approximately $79,000, investments in inventory and the prepayment of certain insurance premiums and maintenance contracts. We expect to continue to use cash to fund operating losses, changes in working capital, product development activities, and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $3,240,000 compared to $3,133,000 for the prior year period. Net cash used by investing activities, excluding purchases and sales of marketable securities, was $118,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $803,000 for the prior year period. This change reflects a decrease in asset purchases for the current period as well as a decrease in the amount paid for the business acquisition discussed above.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $3,225,000 compared to $3,587,000 for the prior year period. The amounts reflect the net proceeds from the secured note transaction in fiscal 2013 and the registered direct offering in fiscal 2012 discussed above, less the payment of preferred stock dividends.

To date we have been largely dependent on our ability to sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities to obtain financing to fund our operating deficits, product development activities, business acquisitions, capital expenditures and telehealth activities. Under our current operating plan to grow our business, our ability to improve operating cash flow has been highly dependent on the market acceptance of our offerings. As mentioned in the “Overview section”, we believe that the company will benefit from the federal government healthcare reforms and industry trends focused on automation and cost reduction. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 the company had a net loss of $2,733,000 and $5,248,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $2,114,000, the company had working capital of $266,000 an accumulated deficit of $182,588,000 and total shareholders’ equity of $632,000. These conditions indicate that the company may be unable to continue as a going concern. Based on our business plan, we expect our existing resources, revenues generated from

Table of Contents

operations and proceeds received from the exercise of outstanding warrants (of which there can be no assurance) to satisfy our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months; however, these resources may not be sufficient if we are required to repay our secured notes or redeem our outstanding shares of Series B and Series C preferred stock within the next 12 months. If we are required to repay or redeem these securities within the next 12 months, we may need to renegotiate the terms of such securities, to enable us to manage our cash resources. No assurances can be given, however, that we will be able to attain sales levels and support our costs through revenues derived from operations, generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our other obligations or successfully modify the terms of our secured notes or preferred securities or that the company will continue as a going concern. If our available cash resources and projected revenue levels are not sufficient to sustain our operations, or otherwise meet our cash needs, we will need to raise additional capital to fund operations and to meet our obligations in the future. To meet our financing requirements, we may raise funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or strategic alliances. Raising additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities may cause our stockholders to experience substantial dilution in their ownership interests and new investors may have rights superior to the rights of our other stockholders. Raising additional funds through debt financing, if available, may involve covenants that restrict our business activities and options. In addition, there can be no assurance that the company will be successful in raising additional capital, or securing financing when needed or on terms satisfactory to the company. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital we will need to reduce costs and operations substantially. Any inability to obtain required financing on sufficiently favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned. The amount of capital that we will need in the future will depend on many factors, including:

 

•

our relationships with suppliers and customers;

 

•

the market acceptance of our software and services;

 

•

the levels of promotion and advertising that will be required to launch our new offerings and achieve and maintain a competitive position in the marketplace;

 

•

price discounts on our products and services to our customers;

 

•

our pursuit of strategic transactions;

 

•

our business, product, capital expenditure and research and development plans and product and technology roadmaps;

 

•

the level of accounts receivable and inventories that we maintain;

 

•

capital improvements to new and existing facilities;

 

•

technological advances;

 

•

our potential need to redeem our outstanding shares of preferred stock and repay our outstanding secured notes; and

 

•

our competitors’ response to our offerings.

Financing Activities

Except as discussed above, we have not engaged in any external financing activities in fiscal 2013 and 2012.

Other Matters

The events and contingencies described below have impacted or may impact our liquidity and capital resources.

Presently, 28,000 shares of our Series B preferred stock, originally issued in a private financing in October 1999, remain outstanding. As of October 1, 2004, our right to redeem these shares of Series B preferred stock is vested. Accordingly, we have the right to repurchase such shares at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The holder, however, has the right to convert these shares of preferred stock into an aggregate of 250,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $2.80. In the event we elect to redeem these securities, the holder will be able to exercise its conversion right subsequent to the date that we issue a notice of redemption but prior to the deemed redemption date as would be set forth in such notice. As of December 31, 2012, no shares of the Series B preferred stock have been redeemed.

In connection with our private placement of securities in October 2010, we issued 1,250,000 shares of Series C 15% convertible redeemable preferred stock (the “Series C preferred stock”). At our special meeting of stockholders held on April 9, 2012, our stockholders approved an amendment to the Series C Designation to extend the maturity date and increase the dividend rate of the Series C preferred stock, and also approved the issuance of 825,000 warrants to the holder of the Series C preferred stock. The Series C Designation, as amended, provides for the mandatory redemption of all outstanding shares of Series C preferred stock upon their stated maturity date of April 12, 2013, the 30 month anniversary of the original issue date, unless prior to such date, our stockholders approve the conversion of the shares of Series C preferred stock into shares of our common stock. If we are required to redeem the shares of Series C preferred stock, we will be required to pay to the holders of the shares of Series C preferred stock a total redemption price equal to 102.5% of the stated value of the Series C shares, plus dividends, which would amount to $2,900,000. In addition, if at the maturity date of the Series C preferred stock, any shares of our Series B preferred stock remain outstanding, we will be required to

 

22

Table of Contents

redeem all such outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock immediately prior to the redemption of the Series C preferred stock. There are currently 28,000 shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding and the total redemption payment for the Series B preferred stock is equal to $700,000 plus any accrued, but unpaid dividends thereon as of such redemption date. As discussed above, the company also has $7,350,000 of senior secured promissory notes that mature on October 31, 2013. Accordingly, the redemption of these securities may have an adverse effect on our cash position. To date, our stockholders have not approved the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. As described above, if necessary the company will seek to modify the terms of secured notes and the Series C preferred shares so that the company would not be required to redeem such securities on their scheduled maturity dates. However, no assurances can be given we will be able to modify the terms of these securities.

Commitments

Office Lease Commitments

We entered into the lease agreement for our executive offices on July 11, 2005. The lease was for a term of ten years and four months, with a commencement date of October 1, 2005 and covers approximately 19,700 total rentable square feet. The annual rent in the first year was $324,000 increasing to $512,000 in year 2 and increasing at regular intervals until year 10 when the annual rent would be approximately $561,000. Effective February 1, 2010, we amended our lease to reduce the annual rent to approximately $512,000 for the remaining lease term and extended the lease term for one year through January 2017. The lease also provides us with a one-time option to renew the lease for a term of five years at the then-current market rate. As part of the lease agreement, we posted a letter of credit securing our lease payments which was reduced to approximately $256,000.

Contractual Commitments

A summary of the contractual commitments associated with our lease obligations as of December 31, 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

 

		Total				Less than 1 year				1-3 years				4-5 years				More than 5 years
Total operating leases		$	2,091			$	512			$	1,536			$	43			$	—

On January 15, 2013, we entered into agreements with each of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer in order to continue the compensation modification program implemented in February 2010. Pursuant to these agreements, both officers agreed to a further reduction in their base salary to 70% of their original base salary commencing January 16, 2013 and continuing until the earlier of (i) such time as the company achieves “cash flow breakeven” or (ii) January 15, 2014. Pursuant to these continuation agreements, the term “cash flow breakeven” is defined to mean that the company has achieved positive cash flow from operations for two consecutive fiscal quarters determined by reference to the revenues and other amounts received by the company from its operations. The term “cash flow from operations”, however, shall not include (a) amounts received from the sale, lease or disposition of (i) fixed or capital assets, except for amounts received in the ordinary course of business; or (ii) any subsidiary company; (b) capital expenditures; (c) interest income and expense; and (d) other non-operating items as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States as consistently applied during the periods involved. In consideration for these agreements, we granted these officers restricted stock units under our 2011 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan based on (i) 15% of their base salary for the period commencing January 16, 2013 through September 30, 2013 attributable to the incremental 15% reduction in base salary through the expiration date of the prior salary reduction program; plus (ii) 30% of their base salary for the period commencing October 1, 2013 through January 15, 2014. The number of restricted stock units granted was determined by dividing the total amount of base salary that is reduced pursuant to the new modification agreements by the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. In connection with the program we granted our chief executive officer 62,431 restricted stock units and our chief financial officer 55,975 restricted stock units. Under the prior salary reduction program with these officers in June 2012 we granted our chief executive officer 36,250 options and granted our chief financial officer 32,500 options. The options, which were granted under the company’s 2011 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan are exercisable for a period of 10 years at an exercise price of $1.30 per share, and along with the restricted stock units, shall only vest upon either the date determined that the company achieves cash flow breakeven, as defined above, or in the event of a termination of employment either without “cause” or for “good reason”, as such terms were defined in the employment agreements we previously entered with each such officer.

Further, in connection with the continuation of the above-referenced compensation modification program, other employees of the company were granted restricted stock units under the company’s 2011 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan in consideration for the continued salary reduction. Under this program, the company reduced the salaries of non-executive employees earning $110,000 per annum or less by 10% and reduced the salaries of its other non-executive employees in the program by 30% and in consideration for such modification, awarded these employees restricted stock units for the additional reduction in base salary for the period

 

23

Table of Contents

commencing January 16, 2013 through January 15, 2014. Accordingly, we will grant our non-executive employees a total of up to 462,515 restricted stock units. The restricted stock units granted to our non-executive employees have the same material terms and conditions as the units granted to our executive officers. Under the prior salary reduction program dated June 2012 we granted our non-executive employees a total of 267,820 options. Under this program, employees’ base salary will revert to its prior level as described above, or if otherwise specified by the board of directors to be earlier. The options and restricted stock units awarded to non-executive employees will vest on the date that the company achieves cash flow breakeven, as defined above, and the options shall have the same exercise price and expiration date as the options granted to our executives. In addition, in connection with the foregoing, we also amended the vesting for the options granted in February 2010 and 2011 and June 2012 to our employees, including executive officers, under the compensation modification program. The amendment eliminates the specific measurement period to determine whether the vesting criteria of achieving “cash flow breakeven performance” has been satisfied and, accordingly, such options shall not expire if the company does not achieve cashflow breakeven performance by September 30, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or the availability of our capital resources. We have entered into various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification provisions are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations related to such matters as intellectual property rights. Payments by us under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned on the other party making a claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2012, we were not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

The impact of general inflation on our operations has not been significant to date and we believe inflation will continue to have an insignificant impact on us.

Present Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2011 the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update N0. 2011-05, to defer the effective date for the part of ASU 2011-05 that would require adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income to be presented on the components of both net income and other comprehensive income in financial statements until FASB can adequately evaluate the costs and benefits of this presentation requirement. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-11 “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” which requires disclosure of net and gross positions in covered financial instruments which are (1) offset in accordance with ASC Sections 210-20-45 or 815-10-45, or (2) subject to an enforceable netting or other similar arrangement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and will be required for all prior comparative periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We have approximately $210,000 invested in short-term investments as of December 31, 2012. We are not exposed to significant financial market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are only minimally impacted by changes in interest rates. However, in the future, we may enter into transactions denominated in non-U.S. currencies or increase the level of our borrowings, which could increase our exposure to these market risks. We have not used, and currently do not contemplate using, any derivative financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

At any time, fluctuations in interest rates could affect interest earnings on our cash and marketable securities. We believe that the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near term changes in interest rates on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would not be material. Currently, we do not hedge these interest rate exposures. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve capital. We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.

At December 31, 2012, our unrestricted cash and marketable securities totaled approximately $2,114,000, of which approximately $210,000 was invested in money market investments. The remainder of our cash was in non-interest bearing checking accounts used to pay operating expenses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit 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 our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Our management, however, believes our disclosure controls and procedures are in fact effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On January 6, 2012, Express MD Solutions LLC, a subsidiary of the company, was served with a summons and complaint in a purported patent infringement lawsuit filed by Robert Bosch Healthcare Systems, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) against Express MD Solutions LLC, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Case No. 5:12-cv-00068-JW. The complaint alleges that the Express MD Solutions’ “Electronic House Call” product infringes one or more claims of certain patents allegedly owned by the Plaintiff. Plaintiff is seeking injunctive relief, damages, punitive damages, interest, and other costs and expenses. Express MD Solutions filed an answer to the complaint on January 27, 2012 and asserted counterclaims seeking declarations that the patents are invalid and not infringed. On May 11, 2012, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, dropping two patents previously asserted and adding one new patent. Express MD Solutions filed a motion to dismiss on June 15, 2012, which the Court granted with leave for Plaintiff to amend the complaint. Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on July 24, 2012. Express MD filed an answer on August 7, 2012 and asserted counterclaims seeking invalidity of the patents and a declaration of non-infringement. On September 6, 2012 the case was reassigned to a new judge. An initial case management conference was held before the court on January 11, 2013. On January 21, 2013, Express MD Solutions filed a request for reexamination of one of the four patents asserted by Plaintiff. Additionally, two of the remaining three patents asserted by Plaintiff were placed into reexamination at the end of 2012 based on requests filed by a third party. The fourth patent asserted by Plaintiff expired on November 17, 2012. On January 22, 2013, Express MD Solutions filed a motion to stay the case pending the conclusion of the reexamination of Plaintiff’s three unexpired asserted patents. On January 22, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion with the court for leave to file a third amended complaint and first amended infringement contentions. Express MD Solutions filed a response in opposition to Plaintiff’s motion on February 5, 2013 and on such date Plaintiff filed an opposition to Express MD Solutions’ motion to stay the case. Express MD Solutions is preparing a reply in further support of its motion to stay. We believe that we have strong defenses to Plaintiff’s allegations and we intend to vigorously defend the litigation. In addition, we intend to exercise our rights of set-off and indemnification as against EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. and the co-licensor to us of the patents in issue. Based on the facts of which we are currently aware, management believes that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, this matter is subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s assessment may change in the future.

We are also subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Our management considers that any liability from any reasonably foreseeable disposition of such claims and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As provided for under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we wish to caution shareholders and investors that the following important factors, among others discussed throughout this Report on Form 10-Q and a restated description of the risk factors associated with our business is set forth below. This description includes any material changes to and supersedes the description of the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the following risk factors and the other information included in this report, in considering our business herein as well as the information included in other reports and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the matters or events described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

Failure to increase our revenue and keep our expenses consistent with revenues could prevent us from achieving and maintaining profitability.

We incurred net losses of approximately $8,352,000, $12,555,000, including a loss of approximately $5,769,000 related to discontinued operations for our former German subsidiary, and $9,005,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We also had a net loss of $5,248,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $182,588,000 at December 31, 2012. We have expended, and will continue to be required to expend, substantial funds to pursue product development projects, enhance our marketing and sales efforts and to otherwise operate our business. Therefore, we will need to generate higher revenues to achieve and maintain profitability and cannot assure you that we will be profitable in any future period. Our prospects should be considered in light of the difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of a new business line, which characterizes our business, such as the difficulty in creating a viable market, the significant related development and marketing costs and the overall competitive environment in which we operate. This risk may be more acute in light of our disposition of our other operating segments. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitable operations in future operating periods. Our business results are likely to remain uncertain as we are unable to reliably predict revenues from our current customers. Revenue levels achieved from our customers, the mix of products and solutions that we offer, our ability to introduce new products as planned and our ability to reduce and manage our operating expenses will affect our financial results. Consequently, we may not be profitable in any future period.

Our capital requirements have been significant and we may need to raise additional capital to finance our operations.

Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant. We have been substantially dependent upon private placements and registered offerings of our securities and on short-term and long-term loans to fund such requirements. We are expending significant amounts of capital to develop, promote and market our software, services and products. Due to these expenditures, we have incurred significant losses to date. We used approximately $6,513,000, $6,465,000 and $8,109,000 in cash for continuing operating activities for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $3,240,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2012. Our available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2012 totaled approximately $2,114,000. We expect our existing resources, revenues generated from operations and proceeds received from the exercise of outstanding warrants (of which there can be no assurance) to satisfy our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months; however, these resources may not be sufficient if we are required to repay our secured notes or redeem our outstanding shares of Series B and Series C preferred stock within the next 12 months. If we are required to repay or redeem these securities within the next 12 months, we may need to renegotiate the terms of such securities, if necessary, to enable us to manage our cash resources. No assurances can be given, however, that we will be able to attain sales levels and support our costs through revenues derived from operations, generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our other obligations or successfully modify the terms of these securities, or that the company will be able to continue as a going concern. If our available cash resources and projected revenue levels are not sufficient to sustain our operations, or otherwise meet our cash needs, we will need to raise additional capital to fund operations and to meet our obligations in the future. To meet our financing requirements, we may raise funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or strategic alliances. Raising additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities may cause our stockholders to experience substantial dilution in their ownership interests and new investors may have rights superior to the rights of our other stockholders. Raising additional funds through debt financing, if available, may involve covenants that restrict our

business activities and options. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in raising additional capital or securing financing when needed or on terms satisfactory to the company. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required, or on acceptable terms, we will need to reduce costs and operations substantially, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our future capital requirements will depend on, and could increase substantially as a result of many factors, including:

 

•

our need to utilize a significant amount of cash to support research and development activities and to make incremental investments in our organization;

 

•

our ability to achieve targeted gross profit margins and cost management objectives;

 

•

our ability to reach break-even or profitability;

 

•

the extent to which we consolidate our facilities and relocate employees and assets;

 

•

the success of our sales and marketing efforts;

 

•

our potential need to redeem our outstanding shares of preferred stock;

 

•

our need to repay our outstanding secured notes;

 

•

the extent and terms of any development, marketing or other arrangement,; and

 

•

changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions, including the current financial crisis.

Our revenues may be affected by changes in technology spending levels.

In the past, unfavorable or uncertain macroeconomic conditions and reduced global technology spending rates have adversely affected the markets in which we operate. Current economic conditions and uncertainty about the recovery could reduce the demand for our products and negatively impact revenues and operating profit. We are unable to predict changes in general macroeconomic conditions and when global spending rates will be affected. Furthermore, even if spending rates increase, we cannot be certain that the market for our products and solutions will be positively impacted. If there are future reductions in spending rates, or if spending rates do not increase, our revenues, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Ongoing uncertainty in the credit markets and the financial services industry may negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

For the past few years, the credit markets and the financial services industry have continued to experience significant fragility and uncertainty as the United States economy seeks to recover from the turmoil and upheaval caused by the recent economic crisis, which was characterized by the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States federal government. The ongoing post-recessionary weaknesses that impact the economy may continue to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition if our ability to obtain financing for operations or obtain credit from trade creditors were to be impaired. In addition, the recent economic crisis could also adversely impact our customers’ ability to finance the purchase of our products and solutions, which may negatively impact our business and results of operations.

The proposed spending cuts imposed by the Budget Control Act of 2011 could impact our operating results and profit.

On August 2, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the “Budget Control Act”) was enacted into law. The Budget Control Act imposes annual spending limits on many federal agencies and programs aimed at reducing budget deficits. In addition to setting budget authority for fiscal years 2012-2021, the Budget Control Act also triggered an automatic sequestration process that was originally scheduled to take effect on January 3, 2013. However, the effective date for the sequestration process was deferred for sixty days pursuant to the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. The sequestration process, if implemented, will result in automatic, across-the-board cuts to mandatory and discretionary federal spending in March 2013. Presently, federal agency budgets are uncertain for the future, which situation will be likely to remain until an agreed upon solution, if any, is enacted. We cannot predict what impact, if any, the Budget Control Act will have on our business or results of operations. However, these or other factors could result in a significant decline in, or redirection of, current and future federal expenditures and could adversely affect our operating performance, including the possible loss of revenue and reduction in our operating cash flow, particularly, but not exclusively, with respect to our telehealth products.

Healthcare policy changes, including recent laws to reform the U.S. healthcare system, may have a material adverse effect on us.

Healthcare costs have risen significantly over the past decade. There have been, and continue to be, proposals by legislators, regulators, and third-party payors to keep these costs down. Certain proposals, if passed, could impose limitations on the prices we will be able to charge for our products, or the amounts of reimbursement available for our products from governmental agencies or third-party payors. These limitations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law and on March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 was signed into law. Together, the two measures make the most sweeping and fundamental changes to the U.S. healthcare system since the creation of Medicare and Medicaid. The Health Care Reform laws include a large number of health-related provisions to take effect over the next four years, including expanding Medicaid eligibility, requiring most individuals to have health insurance, establishing new regulations on health plans, establishing health insurance exchanges, requiring manufacturers to report payments or other transfers of value made to physicians and teaching hospitals, and modifying certain payment systems to encourage more cost-effective care and a reduction of inefficiencies and waste, including through new tools to address fraud and abuse. Effective in 2013, there will be a 2.3% excise tax on the sale of certain medical devices. Further, as administrative rules implementing healthcare reform under the legislation are not yet finalized, the impact of the healthcare reform legislation on our business is unknown, and there can be no assurances that healthcare reform legislation will not adversely impact either our operational results or the manner in which we operate our business. Healthcare industry participants may respond by reducing their investments or postponing investment decisions, including investments in our solutions and services.

In addition, various healthcare reform proposals have also emerged at the state level. We cannot predict the exact effect newly enacted laws or any future legislation or regulation will have on us. However, the implementation of new legislation and regulation may lower reimbursements for our products, reduce medical procedure volumes and adversely affect our business, possibly materially. In addition, the enacted excise tax may materially and adversely affect our operating expenses and results of operations.

We may need to incur additional costs in our efforts to successfully commercialize the technology supporting our content authentication service.

In July 2007, we entered into a new three-year license agreement with the U.S. Postal Service^® (USPS) to act as a non-exclusive authorized service provider of the USPS Electronic Postmark^® (EPM). We had operated the EPM service on behalf of the USPS since March 2003, under a strategic alliance agreement that expired on July 31, 2007. This license agreement was allowed to expire as of December 31, 2010, in accordance with its terms. The USPS has notified the company that it hopes to develop a revised framework for the next generation of the USPS EPM and may revamp the program in the future and has engaged the company to provide verification services through March 2019 for EPMs issued through March 2012. The USPS and the company continue to work towards ensuring a smooth transition from the USPS EPM brand and the company will continue to provide customers with uninterrupted content authentication and time and date stamping services utilizing its proprietary intellectual property rights as it transitions to its own content authentication services under the AuthentiProof™ brand. This transition will not impact the performance or capabilities of our other products and solutions, including our suite of Incsrybe^® offerings and the telehealth products and services.

We depend on growth in the software as a service market, and lack of growth or contraction in this market could materially adversely affect our sales and financial condition.

Our hosted software and web-based solutions compete with other “software as a service” solutions. Demand for our solutions and software offerings is driven by several factors, including an increased focus on protecting business-critical applications, government and industry regulations requiring data protection and integrity, and the growth in the market for software as a service. Segments of the computer and software industry have in the past experienced significant economic downturns and decreases in demand as a result of changing market factors. A change in the market factors that are driving demand for offerings of software as a service could adversely affect our sales, profitability and financial condition.

We depend on third parties for the manufacture and distribution of our telehealth appliance, which may result in delays and quality-control issues.

We do not own or lease any manufacturing facilities. Accordingly, in order to market our telehealth solution we purchase components and finished appliances from unaffiliated suppliers and a contract manufacturer. In addition, we use unaffiliated third parties to provide distribution services for this solution. If the agreements with these third parties are terminated or if they are unable to perform their obligations under such agreements, it could take several months to establish and qualify alternative suppliers and manufacturing and distribution partners for our products and we may not be able to fulfill our customers’ orders in a timely manner. At the present time we believe that if existing third party relationships terminate, alternative providers are available on commercially reasonable terms. However, there can be no assurance that the future production capacity of our current manufacturer will be sufficient to satisfy our requirements or that alternative providers of components or manufacturing or distribution services will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The failure to identify suitable alternative supplies, manufacturers or distributors could adversely impact our customer relationships and our financial condition. In addition, due to our use of third-party manufacturers and distributors, we do not have control over the timing of product shipments. Delays in shipment could result in the deferral or cancellation of purchases of our products, which would harm our results of operations in any particular quarter. Net revenue for a period may be lower than predicted if large orders forecasted for that period are delayed or are not realized, which could impact cash flow or result in a decline in our stock price.

Our business may be adversely affected by legal proceedings.

We have been in the past, and may become in the future, involved in legal proceedings. You should carefully review and consider the various disclosures we make in our reports filed with the SEC regarding legal matters that may affect our business. As described in greater detail below, our ExpressMD Solutions subsidiary was served with a summons and complaint in a purported patent infringement lawsuit filed by Robert Bosch Healthcare Systems, Inc. alleging that the ExpressMD Solutions’ “Electronic House Call” product infringes one or more claims of certain patents allegedly owned by the plaintiff. ExpressMD Solutions filed an answer to the complaint and asserted counterclaims seeking declarations that the patents are invalid and not infringed. We believe that we have strong defenses to plaintiff’s allegations and we intend to vigorously defend the litigation. However, civil and criminal litigation is inherently unpredictable and outcomes can result in excessive verdicts, fines, penalties and/or injunctive relief that affect how we operate our business. The expense of defending such litigation may be substantial and the time required to defend the actions could divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. We cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any legal proceedings in which we become involved and it is difficult to estimate the possible costs to us stemming from any such matters. In addition, an unfavorable outcome in such litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Our success is dependent on the performance of our management and the cooperation, performance and retention of our executive officers and key employees.

Our business and operations are substantially dependent on the performance of our senior management team and executive officers. If our management team is unable to perform it may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our executive officers. The loss of one or several key employees could seriously harm our business. Any reorganization or reduction in the size of our employee base could harm our ability to attract and retain other valuable employees critical to the success of our business.

If we lose key personnel or fail to integrate replacement personnel successfully, our ability to manage our business could be impaired.

Our future success depends upon the continued service of our key management, technical, sales, finance, and other critical personnel. Other than with respect to employment agreements that we entered into with our CEO and CFO, our key personnel do not have employment agreements and we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain them. Key personnel have left our company in the past and there likely will be additional departures of key personnel from time to time in the future. The loss of any key employee could result in significant disruptions to our operations, including adversely affecting the timeliness of product releases, the successful implementation and completion of company initiatives, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting, and the results of our operations. In addition, hiring, training, and successfully integrating replacement sales and other personnel could be time consuming, may cause additional disruptions to our operations, and may be unsuccessful, which could negatively impact future revenues.

If the carrying value of our long-lived assets is not recoverable, an impairment loss must be recognized which would adversely affect our financial results.

We evaluate our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, licenses, goodwill, acquired product rights, and other intangible assets, whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate that these assets might be impaired. In April 2011 we completed the sale of our German subsidiary and recorded a non-cash loss of approximately $5,405,000 related to the goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of this subsidiary in 2002. The company initially recorded the estimated loss related to its German subsidiary as a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5,400,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 based primarily on lowered expectations for growth in future revenues and cash flows, certain unsolicited market information regarding the business and uncertainty regarding the recovery in the market for comparable assets. We will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, and we may incur substantial impairment charges, which could adversely affect our financial results.

Developing and implementing new or updated software and services and other product offerings may take longer and cost more than expected.

We rely on a combination of internal development, strategic relationships, licensing and acquisitions to develop our software and services. The cost of developing new software, services and other product offerings, such as Inscrybe Healthcare and related modules, and our telehealth offerings is inherently difficult to estimate. Our development and implementation of proposed software, services or

 

29

---

Table of Contents

other product offerings may take longer than originally expected, require greater investment of cash resources than initially expected, require more testing than originally anticipated and require the acquisition of additional personnel and other resources. Accordingly, we expect to face substantial uncertainties with respect to the performance and market acceptance of new software and services and other product offerings. If we are unable to develop new or updated software, services or other product offerings on a timely basis and implement them without significant disruptions to the existing systems and processes of our customers, we may lose potential revenues and harm our relationships with current or potential customers.

The success of any of our product acquisition and licensing activities is subject to uncertainty and any completed acquisitions or licenses may reduce our earnings, be difficult to integrate, not perform as expected or require us to obtain additional financing.

We regularly evaluate selective acquisitions and look to continue to enhance our product line by acquiring rights to additional products and services. Such acquisitions may be carried out through the purchase of assets, joint ventures and licenses or by acquiring other companies. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete acquisitions or in-licensing arrangements that meet our target criteria on satisfactory terms, if at all. Successfully integrating a product or service acquisition or in-licensing arrangement can be a lengthy and complex process. The diversion of our management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with any of our acquisitions or arrangements could result in the disruption of our ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that could negatively affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and others with whom we have business dealings. In addition, other companies, including those with substantially greater resources than ours, may compete with us for the acquisition of product or in-licensing candidates and approved products, resulting in the possibility that we devote resources to potential acquisitions or arrangements that are never completed. If we do engage in any such acquisition or arrangement, we will incur a variety of costs, and we may never realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition or arrangement in light of those costs. If we fail to realize the expected benefits from acquisitions or arrangements we may consummate in the future, whether as a result of unidentified risks, integration difficulties, regulatory setbacks or other events, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

In addition, our product acquisition and licensing activities may require us to obtain additional debt or equity financing, resulting in increased debt obligations or dilution of ownership to our existing stockholders, as applicable. Therefore, we may not be able to finance acquisitions on terms satisfactory to us, if at all.

New or updated software, services and product offerings will not become profitable unless they achieve sufficient levels of market acceptance, which may require significant efforts and costs.

There can be no assurance that customers and potential customers will accept from us new or updated software, services and other products. The future results of our business will depend, in significant part, on the success of our software, services or other product offerings. Current and potential customers may choose to use similar products and services offered by our competitors or may not purchase new or updated software, services or products, especially when they are initially offered and if they require changes in equipment or workflow. For software, services and products we are developing or may develop in the future, there can be no assurance that we will attract sufficient customers or that such offerings will generate sufficient revenues to cover their associated development, marketing and maintenance costs. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any pricing strategy that we implement for any new software and services or other product offerings will be economically viable or acceptable to the target markets. Failure to achieve broad penetration in target markets with respect to new or updated software, services and product offerings could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects. Further, achieving market acceptance for new or updated software, services and product offerings is likely to require substantial marketing efforts and expenditure of significant funds to create awareness and demand by potential customers.

We do not have patents on all the technology we use, which could harm our competitive position.

Presently, we have one issued U.S. patent. We also have been granted a license to one issued U.S. patent and one pending patent application by Authentidate International AG, and to two U.S. patents by our former joint venture partner and their affiliate. Some of the technology embodied in some of our current products cannot be patented. We have registered the trademarks “Authentidate”, “Inscrybe”, “InscrybeMD”, “AuthentiProof” and “Inscrybe Office” in the U.S., the trademark “Authentidate” in Canada, Mexico and the European Community, “Inscrybe” in the European Community and Canada, “Inscrybe Office,” and a number of other trademarks as Madrid Protocol international registrations. We continue to take steps to protect our intellectual property rights including filing additional trademark and patent applications where appropriate. We rely on confidentiality agreements with our key employees to the extent we deem it to be necessary. We further intend to file patent applications for any new products we may develop, to the extent that we believe that any technology included in such products is patentable. There can be no assurance that any patents in fact, will be issued or that any such patents that do issue will be effective to protect our products and services from duplication by other manufacturers or developers or to prevent our competitors from offering similar products and services. Other companies operating

within our business segments may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or otherwise obtain access to our know-how, much of which is maintained as trade secrets and there can be no assurance that we will be able to afford the expense of any litigation which may be necessary to enforce our rights under any patent.

In addition, with respect to our telehealth offerings, in connection with the termination of the joint venture, our former joint venture partner and an affiliate licensed to us certain intellectual property assets to enable us to continue to commercialize and develop the ExpressMD Solutions remote patient monitoring products and services. Accordingly, our right to utilize any such intellectual property is subject to the terms of this agreement. Further, and similar to the intellectual property owned by us, there can be no assurance that the intellectual property licensed to us will be effective to protect our products and services from duplication by other manufacturers or developers or to prevent our competitors from offering similar products and services.

We have investigated patents held by third parties of which we are aware and we believe that our products and services, including our telehealth offerings, do not infringe on the claims of these patents. However, we cannot provide any assurances that our products and services do not infringe upon any third party patents or violate the proprietary rights of others, including the patents we have investigated, and it is possible that such infringement or violation has occurred or may occur. As described in greater detail below, on January 6, 2012, our ExpressMD Solutions subsidiary was served with a summons and complaint in a purported patent infringement lawsuit filed by Robert Bosch Healthcare Systems, Inc. alleging that the ExpressMD Solutions’ “Electronic House Call” product infringes one or more claims of certain patents allegedly owned by the plaintiff. ExpressMD Solutions filed an answer to the complaint and asserted counterclaims seeking declarations that the patents are invalid and not infringed. We believe that we have strong defenses to plaintiff’s allegations and we intend to vigorously defend the litigation. In addition, we intend to exercise our rights of set-off and indemnification as against EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. and the co-licensor to us of the patents in issue.

In the event that products we sell or services we provide are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could be required to modify our products and/or services or obtain a license for the manufacture, use and/or sale of such products and services. There can be no assurance that, in such an event, we would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon our business. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources necessary to defend against a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action. In addition, if our products, services or proposed products or services are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages or subject to an injunction, which could also have a material adverse effect on our business.

Because we currently derive a majority of our revenues from a few hosted software and web-based service offerings, any decline in demand for these offerings could severely harm our ability to generate revenues.

We currently derive a majority of our revenues from a limited number of hosted software and web-based service offerings. In addition, our focus on building our business is concentrated on markets for hosted software and web-based services where content integrity, workflow automation, electronic signatures, time and date stamping and web-based services are important to customers. As a result, we are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in demand for these offerings, whether as a result of competition, product obsolescence, technological change, customer spending, or other factors. If our revenues derived from our hosted software and web-based service offerings were to decline significantly, our business and operating results would be adversely affected. As a result, if our relationships with significant customers were disrupted we could lose a significant percentage of our anticipated revenues which could have material adverse effect on our business.

We depend on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues, and the loss of, or a significant reduction in purchases by, one or more of these customers could adversely affect our operating results.

We receive a significant amount of our revenues from a limited number of customers. Most of our customer orders for our telehealth business, including any business we may derive from our agreement with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, are expected to be made on a purchase order basis, which does not generally require any long-term commitments nor any minimum purchase requirements. Therefore, these customers may alter their past purchasing behavior with little or no notice to us for various reasons. If our customers alter their past (or expected) purchasing behavior, or if we encounter any problems collecting amounts due from them, our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted.

Some of our hosted software and web-based service offerings have long and unpredictable sales cycles, which may impact our quarterly operating results.

Transactions for some of our hosted software and web-based service offerings may require customers to undertake customized installations to integrate the solutions into their legacy systems and require them to modify existing business practices. The period from our initial contact with a potential customer until the execution of an agreement is difficult to predict and can be in excess of six to twelve months. The sales cycles for these transactions can be long and unpredictable due to a number of uncertainties such as:

 

•

customers’ budgetary constraints;

 

•

the need to educate potential customers about our software and service offerings;

 

•

the timing of customers’ budget cycles;

 

•

delays caused by customers’ internal review processes;

 

•

customers’ willingness to invest resources and modify their network infrastructures to make use of our offerings; and

 

•

for sales to government customers, governmental regulatory approval and purchasing requirements.

We are unable to control or influence many of these factors. Further, we have experienced delays in the pace of adoption and use by our customers of our transaction-based offerings, such as Inscrybe Healthcare, which has adversely affected our earnings. We may experience similar delays with our other products and services and products and services currently under development. During the sales cycle and the implementation period, we may expend substantial time, effort and money preparing contract proposals, negotiating contracts and implementing solutions without receiving any related revenue. In addition, many of our expenses are relatively fixed in the short term, including personnel costs and technology and infrastructure costs. Accordingly, our inability to generate sufficient revenues from these offerings has a direct impact on our results of operations.

Our contract award with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, consistent with U.S. government contacts generally, includes special contracting requirements that give the government the ability to unilaterally control our contracts.

In April 2011, we announced that we had received a contract award from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (the “VA”) pursuant to which the company was selected as a supplier to the VA for its Telehealth Program for home telehealth solutions. The award is for a national contract and under this agreement the company will market its telehealth solution, to VA facilities throughout the country. The agreement consists of a one year base period that commenced May 15, 2011 and four option years, which are at the VA’s sole discretion. There is no minimum purchase requirement under the contract. On April 17, 2012, the VA exercised the first extension option, however, there can be no assurance that the VA will exercise any of the other option periods under the agreement nor can the company provide any assurances as to the actual amount of products and solutions, if any, that may ultimately be purchased by VA facilities under the agreement.

In addition, U.S. government contracts typically contain unilateral termination provisions for the government and are subject to audit and modification by the government at its sole discretion, which will subject us to additional risks. These risks include the ability of the U.S. government unilaterally to:

 

•

suspend or prevent us for a set period of time from receiving new contracts or extending existing contracts based on violations or suspected violations of laws or regulations;

 

•

terminate our contracts, including if funds are unavailable to the applicable governmental agency;

 

•

delay the issuance of the additional security clearances for our employees which may be necessary for the company to perform under the agreement; or revoke such clearances;

 

•

reduce the scope and value of our contracts and/or revise the timing for work to be performed;

 

•

audit and object to our contract-related costs and fees, including allocated indirect costs;

 

•

control and potentially prohibit the export of our products;

 

•

claim rights to products, including intellectual property, developed under the contract; and

 

•

change certain terms and conditions in our contracts.

The U.S. government will be able to terminate its contract with us either for its convenience or if we default by failing to perform in accordance with the contract schedule and terms. Termination-for-convenience provisions generally enable us to recover only our costs incurred or committed, settlement expenses, and profit on the work completed prior to termination. Termination-for-default provisions do not permit these recoveries and would make us liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. government in procuring undelivered items from another source.

Due to the economic downturn, the accompanying fall in tax revenues, and the U.S. government’s efforts to stabilize the economy, the U.S. government may be forced or choose to reduce or delay spending in the healthcare administration field, which could decrease the likelihood of future government contract awards, the likelihood that the government will exercise its right to extend its existing contracts with us and/or the likelihood that the government would procure products from us.

Our business with the VA is subject to audit by the U.S. government and a negative audit could adversely affect our business.

U.S. government agencies routinely audit and investigate government contractors. These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. Audits may also review the adequacy of, and a contractor’s compliance with, its internal control systems and policies, including the contractor’s purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed, while such costs already reimbursed must be refunded. If an audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including:

 

•

termination of contracts;

 

•

forfeiture of profits;

 

•

suspension of payments;

 

•

fines; and

 

•

suspension or prohibition from conducting business with the U.S. government.

In addition, we could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against us.

Laws and regulations affecting government contracts make it more costly and difficult for us to successfully conduct our business.

We must comply with numerous laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of government contracts, which can make it more difficult for us to retain our rights under these contracts. These laws and regulations affect how we conduct business with government agencies. Among the most significant government contracting regulations that affect our business are:

 

•

the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or FAR, and agency-specific regulations supplemental to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, which comprehensively regulate the procurement, formation, administration and performance of government contracts;

 

•

the business ethics and public integrity obligations, which govern conflicts of interest and the hiring of former government employees, restrict the granting of gratuities and funding of lobbying activities and incorporate other requirements such as the Anti-Kickback Act, the Procurement Integrity Act, the False Claims Act and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

 

•

export and import control laws and regulations; and

 

•

laws, regulations and executive orders restricting the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the exportation of certain products and technical data.

Any changes in applicable laws and regulations could restrict our ability to maintain our existing contracts and obtain new contracts, which could materially adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

The failure to properly manage our growth could cause our business to lose money.

We are using our sales and marketing efforts in order to develop and pursue existing and potential market opportunities. This growth is expected to place a significant demand on management and operational resources. In order to manage growth effectively, we must implement and improve our operational systems and controls on a timely basis. If we fail to implement these systems and controls, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.

Healthcare industry consolidation could impose pressure on our price, reduce our potential client base and reduce demand for our offerings.

Many hospitals and health care centers have consolidated to create larger healthcare enterprises with greater market power. If this consolidation trend continues, it could reduce the size of our potential customer base and give the resulting enterprises greater bargaining power, which may lead to erosion of the prices for our products and services. In addition, this consolidation could also erode our revenue base.

Our hosted software and web-based services and web site may be subject to intentional disruption.

Although we believe we have sufficient controls in place to prevent intentional disruptions, such as software viruses specifically designed to impede the performance of our software and web-based services, we may be affected by such efforts in the future. Further, despite the implementation of security measures, this infrastructure or other systems that we interface with, including the Internet and

 

33

---

Table of Contents

related systems, may be vulnerable to physical break-ins, hackers, improper employee or contractor access, programming errors, attacks by third parties or similar disruptive problems, resulting in the potential misappropriation of our proprietary information or interruptions of our services. Any compromise of our security, whether as a result of our own systems or systems that they interface with, could substantially disrupt our operations, harm our reputation and reduce demand for our services.

Performance problems with our systems or system failures could cause us to lose business or incur liabilities.

Our customer satisfaction and our business could be harmed if we experience transmission delays or failures or loss of data in the systems we use to provide services to our customers, including transaction-related services. These systems are complex and, despite testing and quality control, we cannot be certain that problems will not occur or that they will be detected and corrected promptly if they do occur. In providing these services, we rely on internal systems as well as communications and hosting services provided by third parties, such as the Internet. To operate without interruption, both we and the service providers we use must guard against:

 

•

damage from fire, power loss and other natural disasters;

 

•

communications failures;

 

•

software and hardware errors, failures or crashes;

 

•

security breaches, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems; and

 

•

other potential interruptions.

We have experienced periodic system interruptions in the past, and we cannot guarantee that they will not occur again. In the event of a catastrophic event at our data center or any third party facility we use, we may experience an extended period of system unavailability, which could negatively impact our business. Further, if such an event caused the loss of stored data, it could have a material adverse impact on our business or cause us to incur material liabilities. Although we maintain insurance for our business, we cannot guarantee that our insurance will be adequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur or that this coverage will continue to be available on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts.

In addition, some of our web-based services may, at times, be required to accommodate higher than expected volumes of traffic. At those times, we may experience slower response times or system failures. Any sustained or repeated interruptions or disruptions in these systems or slow down in their response times could damage our relationships with customers. Further, the Internet has experienced, and is likely to continue to experience, significant growth in the number of users and the amount of traffic. If the Internet continues to experience increased usage, the Internet infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed on it which could harm its reliability and performance. Any significant interruptions in our services or increases in response time could result in a loss of potential or existing users of services and, if sustained or repeated, could reduce the attractiveness of our services.

We are subject to product liability risks associated with the production, marketing and sale of products used in the healthcare industry.

The production, marketing and sale of devices used in the health-care industry have inherent risks of liability in the event of product failure or claim of harm caused by product operation. Furthermore, even meritless claims of product liability may be costly to defend against. The commercialization of the telehealth device exposes us to such claims. These types of product liability claims may result in decreased demand for this product, injury to our reputation, related litigation costs, and substantial monetary awards to plaintiffs. We attempt to limit by contract our liability, however, the limitations of liability set forth in the contracts may not be enforceable in certain jurisdictions or may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. We may also be subject to claims that are not covered by contract, such as a claim directly by a patient. Although we currently maintain product liability insurance, we may not have sufficient insurance coverage, and we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage at a reasonable cost. Our inability to obtain product liability insurance at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could inhibit the commercialization of any products that we develop. If we are sued for any injury caused by our products or processes, then our liability could exceed our product liability insurance coverage and our total assets.

We need to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements applicable to our telehealth product and our ability to generate revenue from this product is subject to our ability to obtain acceptable prices or an adequate level of reimbursement from payors of healthcare costs.

Our telehealth product is a medical device that is subject to extensive regulation in the United States. Unless an exemption applies, each medical device that we wish to market in the United States must receive either 510(k) clearance or premarket approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, before the product can be sold. Either process can be lengthy and expensive. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance procedure, also known as “premarket notification,” is the process we have used for our current telehealth product. The regulatory clearance for our telehealth product provides for its use for its intended purposes. In addition, the manufacturing, labeling, packaging, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion, distribution and record-

keeping for approved products are subject to extensive regulation. If the FDA determines that our promotional materials or activities constitute promotion of an unapproved use or we otherwise fail to comply with other FDA regulations, we may be subject to regulatory enforcement actions, including a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine, suspensions, loss of regulatory clearance, product recalls or product seizures. In the more egregious cases, criminal sanctions, civil penalties, or disgorgement of profits are possible. The subsequent discovery of previously unknown problems may also result in restrictions on the marketing of our products, and could include voluntary or mandatory recall or withdrawal of products from the market. Further, we cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action. If we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we will not be permitted to market our products and our business would suffer.

In addition, our ability to commercialize our telehealth product successfully will depend in part on the extent to which appropriate coverage and reimbursement levels for the cost of this product are obtained by us or by our direct customers from governmental authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. The ability of customers to obtain appropriate reimbursement for their products and services from private and governmental payors is critical to the success of medical technology device companies as the availability of reimbursement affects which products customers purchase and the prices they are willing to pay. The cost containment measures that healthcare payors and providers are instituting and the effect of any healthcare reform could materially and adversely affect our ability to generate revenues from this product and our profitability. In addition, given ongoing federal and state government initiatives directed at lowering the total cost of healthcare, the United States Congress and state legislatures will likely continue to focus on healthcare reform and the reform of the Medicare and Medicaid payment systems. While we cannot predict whether any proposed cost-containment measures will be adopted, the announcement or adoption of these proposals could reduce the price that we receive for our telehealth product in the future. We cannot predict the outcomes of any of legislative or regulatory efforts at reducing costs of providing healthcare and regulatory changes in this regard may have a material adverse effect on our business.

The healthcare industry is highly regulated at the local, state and federal level.

In addition to regulatory requirements concerning the commercialization of medical devices, we are subject to a significant and wide-ranging number of regulations both within the United States and elsewhere, such as regulations in the areas of healthcare fraud and the security and privacy of patient data.

Healthcare Fraud. Federal and state governments continue to enhance regulation of and increase their scrutiny over practices involving healthcare fraud affecting healthcare providers whose services are reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid and other government healthcare programs. Our healthcare provider clients are subject to laws and regulations on fraud and abuse which, among other things, prohibit the direct or indirect payment or receipt of any remuneration for patient referrals, or arranging for or recommending referrals or other business paid for in whole or in part by these federal or state healthcare programs. Federal enforcement personnel have substantial funding, powers and remedies to pursue suspected or perceived fraud and abuse. The effect of this government regulation on our clients is difficult to predict. Many of the regulations applicable to our clients and that may be applicable to us, including those relating to marketing incentives offered in connection with medical device sales, are vague or indefinite and have not been interpreted by the courts. They may be interpreted or applied by a prosecutorial, regulatory or judicial authority in a manner that could broaden their applicability to us or require our clients to make changes in their operations or the way in which they deal with us. If such laws and regulations are determined to be applicable to us and if we fail to comply with any applicable laws and regulations, we could be subject to civil and criminal penalties, sanctions or other liability, including exclusion from government health programs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Security and Privacy of Patient Information. Federal, state and local laws regulate the confidentiality of patient records and the circumstances under which those records may be released. These regulations govern both the disclosure and use of confidential patient medical record information and require the users of such information to implement specified security measures. United States regulations currently in place governing electronic health data transmissions continue to evolve and are often unclear and difficult to apply. Similarly, laws in non-U.S. jurisdictions may have similar or even stricter requirements related to the treatment of patient information. In the United States, HIPAA regulations require national standards for some types of electronic health information transactions and the data elements used in those transactions, security standards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of health information and standards to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information. Covered entities under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which include healthcare organizations such as our clients, our employer clinic business model and our claims transmission services, are required to comply with the privacy standards, the transaction regulations and the security regulations. Moreover, the recently enacted Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and associated regulatory requirements, extend many of the HIPAA obligations, formerly imposed only upon covered entities, to business associates as well. As a business associate of our clients who are covered entities, we were in most instances already contractually required to ensure compliance with the HIPAA regulations as they pertain to handling of covered client data. However, the extension of these HIPAA obligations to business associates by law has created additional liability risks related to the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information. Evolving HIPAA and HITECH related laws or regulations and regulations in non-U.S.

jurisdictions could restrict the ability of our clients to obtain, use or disseminate patient information. This could adversely affect demand for our solutions if they are not re-designed in a timely manner in order to meet the requirements of any new interpretations or regulations that seek to protect the privacy and security of patient data or enable our clients to execute new or modified healthcare transactions. We may need to expend additional capital, software development and other resources to modify our solutions and devices to address these evolving data security and privacy issues. Furthermore, our failure to maintain confidentiality of sensitive personal information in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements could damage our reputation and expose us to breach of contract claims (although we contractually limit liability, when possible and where permitted), fines and penalties.

If we are unable to generate sufficient demand for our current telehealth product and services, we may not be able to recover our inventory and other investments. Further, modifications to our current telehealth product may require new marketing clearances or approvals or require us to cease marketing or recall the modified products until such clearances or approvals are obtained.

In connection with our manufacturing and sales plans for the Electronic HouseCall Solutions telehealth products, we have purchased certain components and contract manufacturing services for the production of the monitoring appliance. Our ability to recover our investment in building inventories of our current telehealth products is subject to risks. If we are unable to generate sufficient demand for this product, we may not be able to recover our costs in acquiring these assets. As of December 31, 2012, total inventory was valued at approximately $4.5 million and we had prepaid inventory investments of approximately $0.5 million that are included in other current assets.

Further, any modification to an FDA-cleared medical device that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change or modification in its intended use, requires a new FDA 510(k) clearance or, possibly, a premarket approval. The FDA requires every manufacturer to make its own determination as to whether a modification requires a new 510(k) clearance or premarket approval, but the FDA may review and disagree with any decision reached by the manufacturer. In the future, we may make modifications to our telehealth products and, in appropriate circumstances, determine that new clearance or approval is unnecessary. Regulatory authorities may disagree with our decisions not to seek new clearance or approval and may require us to obtain clearance or approval for modifications to our products. If that were to occur for a previously cleared or approved product, we may be required to cease marketing or recall the modified device until we obtain the necessary clearance or approval. Under these circumstances, we may also be subject to significant regulatory fines or other penalties. If any of the foregoing were to occur, we may be unable to recover the cost of our investments in our telehealth business and our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted.

If our suppliers for our telehealth product fails to comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, and other applicable post market requirements, our manufacturing operations could be disrupted, our product sales and profitability could suffer, and we may be subject to a wide variety of FDA enforcement actions.

After a device is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements apply. We are subject to inspection and marketing surveillance by the FDA to determine our compliance with all regulatory requirements. Our failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in the FDA or a court instituting a wide variety of enforcement actions against us, including a public warning letter; a recall of products; fines or civil penalties; seizure or detention of our products; withdrawing 510(k) clearance already granted to us; and criminal prosecution. The manufacturing processes of some of our suppliers must comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, which governs the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the design, testing, manufacture, control, quality assurance, installation, servicing, labeling, packaging, storage and shipping of medical devices. The FDA enforces the QSR through unannounced inspections. If one of our suppliers fails a QSR inspection, or if a corrective action plan adopted by a supplier is not sufficient, the FDA may bring an enforcement action, and our operations could be disrupted and our manufacturing delayed. We are also subject to the FDA’s general prohibition against promoting our products for unapproved or “off-label” uses, the FDA’s adverse event reporting requirements and the FDA’s reporting requirements for field correction or product removals. The FDA has recently placed increased emphasis on its scrutiny of compliance with the QSR and these other post market requirements. If we or one of our suppliers violate the FDA’s requirements or fail to take adequate corrective action in response to any significant compliance issue raised by the FDA, the FDA can take various enforcement actions which could cause our product sales and profitability to suffer.

Our hosted software and web-based services and other product offerings may not be accepted by the market, which would seriously harm our business.

Demand and market acceptance for our currently available hosted software and web-based services and other product offerings remain subject to a high level of uncertainty. Achieving widespread acceptance of these or future offerings will continue to require substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds to create and maintain brand recognition and customer demand for such offerings. Demand for our software, services and other product offering depends on, among other things:

 

•

the perceived ability of our offerings to address real customer problems;

 

•

the perceived quality, price, ease-of-use and interoperability of our offerings as compared to our competitors’ offerings;

 

•

the market’s perception of the ease or difficulty in deploying our software or services, especially in complex network environments;

 

•

the continued evolution of electronic commerce as a viable means of conducting business;

 

•

market acceptance and use of new technologies and standards;

 

•

the ability of network infrastructures to support an increasing number of users and services;

 

•

the pace of technological change and our ability to keep up with these changes; and

 

•

general economic conditions, which influence how much money our customers and potential customers are willing to allocate to their information technology budgets.

There can be no assurance that adequate marketing arrangements will be made and continued for our products and services and there can be no assurance that any of these offerings will ever achieve or maintain widespread market acceptance or that such offerings will be profitable.

If we cannot continuously enhance our hosted software and web-based service offerings in response to rapid changes in the market, our business will be harmed.

The software-based services industry and computer industry are characterized by extensive research and development efforts which result in the frequent introduction of new products and services which render existing products and services obsolete. Our ability to compete successfully in the future will depend in large part on our ability to maintain a technically competent research and development staff and our ability to adapt to technological changes in the industry and enhance and improve our hosted software and web-based service offerings and successfully develop and market new offerings that meet the changing needs of our customers. Although we are dedicated to continued improvement of our offerings with a view towards satisfying market needs with the most advanced capabilities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so on a regular basis and remain competitive with products offered by other manufacturers. At the present time, we do not have a targeted level of expenditures for research and development. We will evaluate all opportunities but believe the majority of our research and development will be devoted to enhancements of our existing offerings.

If our hosted software and web-based service offerings are not competitive, our business will suffer.

We are engaged in the highly competitive businesses of developing hosted software and web-based workflow management services and telehealth solutions. These markets are continually evolving and, in some cases, subject to rapid technological change. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and other resources than we do. These organizations may be better known than we are and have more customers than we do. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against these organizations. We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our markets include performance, ease of use, quality/reliability of our offerings, scalability, features and functionality, price and customer service and support. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully incorporate these factors into our software and web-based services and compete against current or future competitors or that competitive pressure we face will not harm our business. If we are unable to develop and market products to compete with the products of competitors, our business will be materially and adversely affected.

Our business, including Inscrybe Healthcare and our telehealth appliance and service and our electronic signing solutions are relatively new business lines and although the level of competition for these offerings is uncertain at this point in time, the field of software-based solutions in which we compete is highly competitive. There can be no assurances, however, that any of our offerings will achieve market acceptance.

We also expect that competition will increase as a result of industry consolidations and the formation of new companies with new, innovative offerings. Current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their software and service offerings to address the needs of our prospective customers.

Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced operating margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm our business.

Our hosted software and web-based services are complex and are operated in a wide variety of computer configurations, which could result in errors or product failures.

Our hosted software and web-based services are complex and may contain undetected errors, failures or bugs that may arise when they are first introduced or when new versions are released. These offerings may be used in large-scale computing environments with different operating systems, system management software and equipment and networking configurations, which may cause errors or failures in our offerings or may expose undetected errors, failures or bugs in such offerings. Our customers’ computer environments are often characterized by a wide variety of configurations that make pre-release testing for programming or compatibility errors difficult and time-consuming. Despite testing by us and by others, errors, failures or bugs may not be found in new products or releases after commencement of commercial use. Errors, failures or bugs in our offerings could result in negative publicity, returns, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our hosted software or web-based services or claims by customers or others. Alleviating these problems could require significant expenditures of our capital and resources and could cause interruptions, delays or cessation of our licenses which could cause us to lose existing or potential customers and would adversely affect our financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows. Most of our license agreements with customers contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims. It is possible, however, that these provisions may not prove effective in limiting our liability.

We have a significant amount of net operating loss carry forwards which we may not be able to utilize in certain circumstances.

At June 30, 2012, we had net operating loss, or NOL, carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $139,000,000 available to offset future taxable income. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, following an “ownership change,” special limitations apply to the use by a “loss corporation” of its (i) NOL carry forwards arising before the ownership change and (ii) net unrealized built-in losses (if such losses existed immediately before the ownership change and exceed a statutory threshold amount) recognized during the five years following the ownership change ((i) and (ii) are referred to collectively as the “Applicable Tax Attributes”). After an ownership change, the amount of the loss corporation’s taxable income for each post-change taxable year that may be offset by the Applicable Tax Attributes is limited to the product of the “long-term tax-exempt rate” (published by the IRS for the month of the ownership change) multiplied by the value of the loss corporation’s stock (the “Section 382 Limitation”). To the extent that the loss corporation’s Section 382 Limitation in a given taxable year exceeds its taxable income for the year, that excess increases the Section 382 Limitation in future taxable years.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our stock price is volatile and could decline.

The price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. After giving effect to our reverse stock split, our stock price during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 traded as low as $1.10 per share and as high as $2.58 per share, and during the six months ended December 31, 2012, our common stock traded within a range of $0.55 to $1.64. We cannot assure you that your initial investment in our common stock will not fluctuate significantly. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

 

•

quarterly variations in our operating results;

 

•

announcements we make regarding significant contracts, acquisitions, dispositions, or strategic partnerships;

 

•

additions or departures of key personnel;

 

•

the introduction of competitive offerings by existing or new competitors;

 

•

uncertainty about and customer confidence in the current economic conditions and outlook;

 

•

reduced demand for any given product on web-based service offering; and

 

•

sales of our common stock.

In addition, the stock market in general, including companies whose stock is listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

We were not in compliance with The NASDAQ Capital Market $1.00 minimum bid price requirement and failure to maintain compliance with this standard could result in delisting and adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.

Our common stock is currently traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “ADAT”. If we fail to meet any of the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock will be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market. These continued listing standards include specifically enumerated criteria, such as a $1.00 minimum closing bid price. On September 19, 2011, we received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market advising that the company did not meet the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and on March 20, 2012, NASDAQ notified us that it had granted us an additional 180 days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To demonstrate compliance with this requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock needed to be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before September 17, 2012. In order to satisfy this requirement, on August 30, 2012, we filed an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to implement a one for two reverse split of our common stock and our common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis on August 31, 2012. On September17, 2012, we received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market that we had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market.

Although we have regained compliance with the minimum bid price rule, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain continued compliance with this rule or the other listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market. If we were unable to meet these requirements, we would receive another delisting notice from the Nasdaq Capital Market for failure to comply with one or more of the continued listing requirements. If our common stock were to be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market, trading of our common stock most likely will be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the OTC Bulletin Board. Such trading will reduce the market liquidity of our common stock. As a result, an investor would find it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations for the price of, our common stock. If our common stock is delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market and the trading price remains below $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock might also become subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trade involving a stock defined as a “penny stock” (generally, any equity security not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on Nasdaq that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend low-priced stocks to their clients. Moreover, various regulations and policies restrict the ability of shareholders to borrow against or “margin” low-priced stocks, and declines in the stock price below certain levels may trigger unexpected margin calls. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stocks, the current price of the common stock can result in an individual shareholder paying transaction costs that represent a higher percentage of total share value than would be the case if our share price were higher. This factor may also limit the willingness of institutions to purchase our common stock. Finally, the additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from facilitating trades in our common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the stock and the ability of investors to trade our common stock.

The holders of the Senior Secured Notes issued in our bridge financings have a first priority security interest in all of our assets and these notes include customary covenants regarding our ability to incur additional indebtedness. If we are required to repay these securities on their scheduled due date, our financial condition may be adversely affected.

On March 14, 2012 and September 28, 2012, we consummated the sales of an aggregate principal amount of $7,350,000 of senior secured promissory notes and warrants to purchase a total of 5,580,527 shares of common stock to certain accredited investors in a private placement under the Securities Act. In addition, we issued 2,197,674 warrants to the holders of the senior secured notes issued in March 2012 in consideration of the extension of the maturity date of such notes to October 31, 2013. The secured notes are senior secured promissory notes and are not convertible into our equity securities and are due and payable on the first to occur of October 31, 2013 or the consummation of a subsequent financing as defined. The secured notes are secured by a first priority lien on all of our assets in accordance with, and subject to, a security agreement between us and the investors. If we are unable to consummate a subsequent financing, we will be required to repay the secured notes on their scheduled maturity date, which may have an adverse effect on our cash position. Among the investors that purchased secured notes from us in one or both of these transactions were three members of our board of directors, Mr. J. David Luce, Mr. John J. Waters, and Mr. O’Connell Benjamin, who is also our chief executive officer, as well as Mr. William Marshall, our chief financial officer. In addition, our largest stockholder, Lazarus Investment Partners, LLLP, participated in these transactions and the manager of the general partner of Lazarus Investment Partners, LLLP, is the brother of Dr. Todd A. Borus, a member of our board of directors.

The secured notes contain covenants and events of default customary for similar transactions. Accordingly, without the consent of the holders of a majority in interest of the secured notes, we must comply with certain restrictions against incurring additional indebtedness and granting additional security interests on our assets. Among the defined events of default are defaults of our payment obligations, breach of any material covenant or representation of the secured note or the related transaction agreements, and the commencement of proceedings under applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws either against us or by us. If we are unable to repay the secured notes when due, or upon an event of default, the holders could foreclose on our assets.

Since we have not paid dividends on our common stock, you may not receive income from this investment.

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not contemplate or anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, will be used to finance the development and expansion of our business.

Trading in our stock over the last twelve months has been limited, so investors may not be able to sell as much stock as they want at prevailing prices.

The average daily trading volume in our common stock for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was approximately 23,000 shares. If limited trading in our stock continues, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares in the public market at any given time at prevailing prices. Moreover, the market price for shares of our common stock may be made more volatile because of the relatively low volume of trading in our common stock. When trading volume is low, significant price movement can be caused by the trading in a relatively small number of shares. Volatility in our common stock could cause stockholders to incur substantial losses.

Additional financings could result in dilution to existing stockholders and otherwise adversely impact the rights of our common stockholders.

Additional financings that we may require in the future will dilute the percentage ownership interests of our stockholders and may adversely affect our earnings and net book value per share. In addition, we may not be able to secure any such additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We have the authority to issue additional shares of common stock and preferred stock, as well as additional classes or series of warrants or debt obligations which may be convertible into any one or more classes or series of ownership interests. We are authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock and 5 million shares of preferred stock. Subject to compliance with the requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market, such securities may be issued without the approval or other consent of our stockholders.

We filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in August 2012, which was declared effective by the Commission in December 2012. Under this registration statement, we may sell, from time to time in one or more public offerings, shares of our common stock, shares of our preferred stock, debt securities or warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, or any combination of such securities for proceeds in the aggregate amount up to $40 million, subject to SEC limitations. This disclosure shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor shall there by any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. Any offer of the securities will be solely by means of the prospectus included in the registration statement and one or more prospectus supplements that will be issued at the time of the offering.

In the event that any future financing should be in the form of, be convertible into or exchangeable for, equity securities, and upon the conversion or exercise of such securities, investors may experience additional dilution. Moreover, we may issue undesignated shares of preferred stock, the terms of which may be fixed by our board of directors and which terms may be preferential to the interests of our common stockholders. We have issued preferred stock in the past, and our board of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to create and issue one or more additional series of such preferred stock and to determine the voting, dividend and other rights of holders of such preferred stock. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct our business. The issuance of any of such series of preferred stock or debt securities may have an adverse effect on the holders of common stock.

If we are required to redeem the shares of our Series C Preferred Stock, our financial condition would be adversely affected.

In connection with our October 2010 private placement, we filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights and Number of Shares of Series C 15% convertible redeemable preferred stock, or the Series C Designation. As amended on April 10, 2012, the Series C Designation provides for the mandatory redemption of all outstanding shares of Series C preferred stock upon their stated maturity date on April 12, 2013, which is the 30 month anniversary of the original issue date, unless prior to such date, our shareholders approve the conversion of the shares of Series C preferred stock into shares of our common stock. If we are required to redeem the shares of Series C preferred stock, we may be required to pay to the holders of the shares of Series C preferred stock a total redemption price equal to 102.5% of the stated value of the Series C shares, plus dividends, which would amount to $2,900,000. Following our special meeting of shareholders held on October 18, 2012, our shareholders have

declined to approve the conversion of the Series C preferred stock on six occasions. Consistent with our obligations under the purchase agreement entered into with the purchasers of the Series C preferred stock, we will call additional meetings of our shareholders at which shareholders will again be requested to approve the conversion of the shares of Series C preferred stock. In addition, if at the maturity date of the Series C preferred stock, any shares of our Series B preferred stock remain outstanding, we will be required to redeem all such outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock immediately prior to the redemption of the Series C preferred stock. There are currently 28,000 shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding and the total redemption payment for the Series B preferred stock is equal to $700,000 plus any accrued, but unpaid dividends thereon as of such redemption date. Accordingly, the redemption of these securities would have an adverse effect on our cash position.

The number of shares of our common stock outstanding has increased substantially as a result of our recent financings, and the exercise or conversion of the warrants and shares of preferred stock issued in these transactions could result in further dilution to holders of our common stock.

Upon the closing of our October 2010 private placement, we issued to a group of institutional and other accredited investors a total of 3,750,000 shares of our common stock, plus 1,250,000 shares of Series C preferred stock, which, as amended, are convertible into an maximum of 3,562,500 shares of common stock at the initial conversion price of $0.80 (including all shares issuable in lieu of cash dividends for the 30 month term) and common stock warrants to purchase a total of 3,125,000 additional shares of common stock. In addition, in connection with the registered direct offering of common stock and warrants we announced on October 7, 2011, we sold an additional 2,937,497 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,468,752 shares of common stock. The issuance of these securities resulted in substantial dilution to stockholders who held our common stock prior to such transactions. For example, the shares issued in our 2011 financing represented approximately 11.3% of our outstanding common stock after the offering, without giving effect to the exercise of the warrants. Further, the conversion of the shares of Series C preferred stock and exercise of warrants issued in the 2010 private placement may result in further dilution to the holders of our common stock. As of December 31, 2012, the number of shares issued to the purchasers in this private placement and warrants exercised to date represents approximately 13.9% of our outstanding common stock, without giving effect to the conversion of the shares of Series C preferred stock or the exercise of the outstanding common stock warrants. In addition, in connection with the amendments to the Series C preferred stock to extend the maturity date to April 12, 2013 and increase the dividend rate to 20% for the extension period, the company issued the holders of the Series C preferred stock warrants to purchase 825,000 shares of common stock and in connection with the senior secured promissory note transactions in March and September 2012, the company issued the note holders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,778,201 shares of common stock. The conversion of the shares of Series C preferred stock is subject to the approval of our stockholders in accordance with applicable Nasdaq requirements and under the purchase agreement with the investors, we are obligated to seek stockholder approval for the conversion of the shares of Series C preferred stock. As mentioned above, our stockholders have not approved such conversion. These stockholders, if acting together, may have significant influence over the outcome of any stockholder vote, other than any proposal to approve the conversion of such shares, including the election of directors and other significant business matters that require stockholder approval. Such other significant business matters could include, for example, the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions. The sale of these shares of common stock and any conversion of the shares of preferred stock and exercise of warrants (subject to stockholder approval, as discussed above) may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our stock price may decline substantially.

The exercise of our outstanding options and warrants, or conversion of our outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, may depress our stock price and dilute your ownership of the company.

As of December 31, 2012, the following options and warrants were outstanding:

 

•

Stock options to purchase 2,727,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.78 to $13.22 per share, not all of which are immediately exercisable. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is $3.80 per share. These stock options are employee and non-executive director options.

 

•

Warrants to purchase 13,632,000 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $1.46 per share.

In addition, there are currently outstanding 28,000 shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock and 1,250,000 shares of our Series C preferred stock. The holder of the Series B convertible preferred stock may convert these shares into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.80 per share. Accordingly, the outstanding 28,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock are presently convertible into an aggregate of 250,000 shares of our common stock, which will be available for immediate resale in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Further, as described above, the shares of Series C preferred stock (and all accrued dividends thereon) will convert into a maximum of 3,562,500 shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.80, effective upon the approval of our stockholders. If our stockholders approve the conversion of the shares of Series C preferred stock, then all shares of Series C preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of our common stock.

To the extent that these securities are exercised or converted, dilution to our stockholders will occur. Moreover, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected, since the holders of these securities can be expected to exercise or convert them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than the exercise and conversion terms provided by those securities. Further, in the event the conversion price of our outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock is lower than the actual trading price on the day of conversion, the holders could immediately sell their converted common shares, which would have a dilutive effect on the value of the outstanding common shares. Furthermore, the significant downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock as preferred stock holders converted these securities and sell the common shares received on conversion could encourage short sales by the holders of preferred stock or other stockholders. This would place further downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. Even the mere perception of eventual sales of common shares issued on the conversion of the shares of preferred stock could lead to a decline in the trading price of our common stock.

Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:

 

•

authorizing the issuance of “blank check” preferred that could be issued by our board of directors to increase the number of outstanding shares and thwart a takeover attempt;

 

•

prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates; and

 

•

advance notice provisions in connection with stockholder proposals that may prevent or hinder any attempt by our stockholders to bring business to be considered by our stockholders at a meeting or replace our board of directors.

Together these provisions may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of us, adversely affecting the market price of our common stock.
