NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts presented at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 are unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Operations

 

BioDrain Medical, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota in 2002. Effective August 6, 2013, the Company changed its name to Skyline Medical Inc. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated effective December 16, 2013, the Company merged with and into a Delaware corporation with the same name that was its wholly-owned subsidiary, with such Delaware Corporation as the surviving corporation of the merger. The Company has developed an environmentally safe system for the collection and disposal of infectious fluids that result from surgical procedures and post-operative care. The Company also makes ongoing sales of our proprietary cleaning fluid and filters to users of our systems. In April 2009, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to authorize the Company to market and sell its STREAMWAY FMS products.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a stockholders’ deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Since inception to September 30, 2014, the Company has raised approximately $9,248,000 in equity, inclusive of $2,055,000 from a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and $5,518,000 in debt financing. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

 

Recent Accounting Developments

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and created a new topic in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), Topic 606. The new standard provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition framework for all entities and supersedes nearly all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and also requires enhanced disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company evaluated and adopted ASU 2014-10 for the reporting period ended September 30, 2014.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" providing explicit guidance on how to account for share-based payments granted to employees in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our financial statements.

 

We reviewed all other significant newly issued accounting pronouncements and determined they are either not applicable to our business or that no material effect is expected on our financial position and results of our operations.

Valuation of Intangible Assets

 

We review identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350- IntangiblesGoodwill and Other, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our intangible assets are currently solely the costs of obtaining trademarks and patents. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the medical device marketplace and a significant adverse change in the business climate in which we operate. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, the undiscounted cash flows method is used to determine whether the intangible asset is impaired. Cash flows would include the estimated terminal value of the asset and exclude any interest charges. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining life of the asset, the asset is considered impaired, and the impairment is measured by reducing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value using the discounted cash flows method. The discount rate utilized is based on management's best estimate of the related risks and return at the time the impairment assessment is made.

 

Our accounting estimates and assumptions bear various risks of change, including the length of the current economic downturn facing the United States, the expansion of the slowdown in consumer spending in the U.S. medical markets despite the early expressed opinions of financial experts that the medical market would not be as affected as other markets and failure to gain acceptance in the medical market.

 

Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Presentation of Taxes Collected from Customers

 

Sales taxes are imposed on the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers. The Company collects the taxes from customers and remits the entire amounts to the governmental authorities. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the taxes collected and remitted from revenues and expenses.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling costs are recorded within cost of goods sold on the statement of operations.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $4,201 and $11,994 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and there were no advertising expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses were $72,294 and $321,929 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $73,621 and $207,162 for September 30, 2013.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 Revenue Recognition and ASC 605-Revenue Recognition.

 

8
 

 

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon either shipment of the product or arrival at its destination based on the shipping terms of the transaction. The Company’s standard terms specify that shipment is FOB Skyline and the Company will, therefore, recognize revenue upon shipment in most cases. This revenue recognition policy applies to shipments of the STREAMWAY FMS units as well as shipments of cleaning solution kits. When these conditions are satisfied, the Company recognizes gross product revenue, which is the price it charges generally to its customers for a particular product. Under the Company’s standard terms and conditions, there is no provision for installation or acceptance of the product to take place prior to the obligation of the customer. The customer’s right of return is limited only to the Company’s standard one-year warranty whereby the Company replaces or repairs, at its option, and it would be rare that the STREAMWAY FMS unit or significant quantities of cleaning solution kits may be returned. Additionally, since the Company buys both the STREAMWAY FMS units and cleaning solution kits from “turnkey” suppliers, the Company would have the right to replacements from the suppliers if this situation should occur.

 

Receivables

 

Receivables are reported at the amount the Company expects to collect on balances outstanding. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through charges to earnings and credits to the valuation based on management’s assessment of the current status of individual accounts, changes to the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory balances are as follows:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
         
Finished goods  $69,331   $56,818 
Raw materials   207,928    18,603 
Work-In-Process   38,361    46,754 
Total  $315,620   $122,175 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful asset life by classification is as follows:

 

    Years
Computers and office equipment   3 - 7
Leasehold improvements   5
Manufacturing tooling   3 - 7
Demo Equipment   3

 

The Company’s investment in Fixed Assets consists of the following:

 

   September 30,
2014
   December 31,
2013
 
Computers and office equipment  $126,234   $61,505 
Leasehold improvements   23,874    23,614 
Manufacturing tooling   97,288    89,900 
Demo Equipment   30,577    - 
Total   277,973    175,019 
Less: Accumulated depreciation   61,027    16,909 
Total Fixed Assets, Net  $216,946   $158,110 

 

9
 

 

Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of trademarks and patent costs. These assets are not subject to amortization until the property patented is in production. The assets are reviewed for impairment annually, and impairment losses, if any, are charged to operations when identified. The Company wrote-off the entire original STREAMWAY System patent of $140,588 in 2013.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740- Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

The Company reviews income tax positions expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the positions. The Company has identified no income tax uncertainties.

 

Tax years subsequent to 2010 remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

 

Patents and Intellectual Property

 

On January 25th, 2014 the Company filed a non-provisional PCT Application No. PCT/US2014/013081 claiming priority from the U.S. Provisional Patent Application, number 61756763 which was filed one year earlier on January 25th, 2013.  The PCT makes it possible to seek patent protection for an invention simultaneously in each of 148 countries, including the United States, by filing this “international” patent application instead of filing several separate national or regional patent applications.

 

Our PCT patent application is for the new model of the surgical fluid waste management system that has embodiments, based on our patent attorney’s recommendations, that are patentable over all prior art and will not infringe on any existing patents. This PCT Application adds features that are novel and non-obvious over all the Company’s previously filed applications. A feature claimed in the Patent is the ability to maintain continuous suction to the surgical field while simultaneously measuring, recording and evacuating fluid to the facilities sewer drainage system.  This provides for continuous operation of the STREAMWAY System unit in suctioning waste fluids, which means that the unit never has to be shut off or paused during a surgical operation, for example, to empty a fluid collection container or otherwise dispose of the collected fluid.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment effecting a 1:75 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which became effective under Delaware law as of October 24, 2014. At the effective time (the “Effective Time”) of the Reverse Stock Split, the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company was combined on a 1-for-75 basis such that every seventy-five shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was combined into one share of Common Stock. This share combination was effected through the exchange and replacement of certificates representing issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Time, together with immediate book-entry adjustments to the stock register of the Company maintained in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. In the event that the share combination would have resulted in a shareholder being entitled to receive less than a full share of Common Stock, the fractional share that would so result was rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. The par value of each share of issued and outstanding Common Stock was not affected by the share combination.

 

10
 

 

For purposes of trading of the common stock, the Reverse Stock Split was approved, by FINRA and became effective as of market open on October 28, 2014.

 

In the Condensed Financial Statement and Notes thereto, and elsewhere in this Report, all numbers of shares and per share amounts, as appropriate, have been restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

 

In September 2014 we filed a registration statement for the public offering of shares of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price per share of the common stock. We have applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market effective upon the completion of the public offering.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The Company has prepared the unaudited interim financial statements and related unaudited financial information in the footnotes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. These interim financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2014. The nature of the Company’s business is such that the results of any interim period may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

   

NOTE 2 – DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATIONS

 

The Company was formed April 23, 2002. Since inception to November 3, 2014, 3,021,831 shares of common stock have been issued between par value and $125.00 (post reverse split). Operations since incorporation have been devoted to raising capital, obtaining financing, development of the Company’s product, and administrative services.

 

NOTE 3 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

The Company has an equity incentive plan, which allows issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company, where permitted under the plan. The exercise price for each stock option is determined by the Board of Directors. Vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors when granted and currently range from immediate to three years. Options under this plan have terms ranging from three to ten years.

 

On February 4, 2014, (the “Closing Date”) we raised $2,055,000 in gross proceeds from a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Preferred Shares”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors (the “Purchasers”) purchased 20,550 Preferred Shares, and warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate of approximately 21,334 shares of Common Stock. The Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $19.50 per share of Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $24.38 per share and expire five years from the Closing Date. If the Common Stock is not listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE MKT within 180 days of the Closing, the Company was required to issue additional Warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, equal to 30% of the shares of Common Stock which the Preferred Shares each Purchaser purchased are convertible into. As of August 4, 2014, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase 61,539 shares to the Purchasers in connection with this provision.

 

11
 

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement requires the Company to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares (the “Underlying Shares”) and the Common Stock underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”). On September 9, 2014, a resale registration statement covering the Underlying Shares, the Warrant Shares and certain other securities (the “Resale Registration Statement”) was declared effective.

 

The Preferred Shares are convertible at the option of the holder into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the stated value of the Preferred Shares being converted by the conversion price of $19.50, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar recapitalization events. If the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock, other than certain stock that is excluded under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, in one or more capital raising transactions with an aggregate purchase price of at least $100,000 for a price less than the then existing conversion price for the Preferred Shares (the “New Issuance Price”), then the then existing conversion price shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the New Issuance Price be less than $9.75 or reduced to a price level that would be in breach of the listing rules of any stock exchange or that would have material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to list its Common Stock on a stock exchange, including but not limited to the change of accounting treatment of the Preferred Stock. In July 2014, in connection with the issuance of certain convertible notes, the conversion price of the Preferred Stock was adjusted to $9.75 per share. Further, the Company has agreed to additional shares of Common Stock to holders of the Preferred Stock in certain circumstances, as described in the following paragraph. The Preferred Shares contain certain limitations on conversion so that the holder will not own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares held by the applicable holder, with the percentage subject to increase in certain circumstances. The Preferred Shares are eligible to vote with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, but only to the extent that the Preferred Shares are eligible for conversion without exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Preferred Shares are entitled to receive dividends on a pari passu basis with the Common Stock, when, and if declared. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), after the satisfaction in full of the debts of the Company and the payment of any liquidation preference owed to the holders of shares of Common Stock ranking prior to the Preferred Shares upon liquidation, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall receive, prior and in preference to the holders of any junior securities, an amount equal to $2,055,000 times 1.2, plus all declared but unpaid dividends.

 

In July 2014, in connection with the offering of convertible notes and warrants and in connection with the waiver of certain rights, the Company agreed to issue additional shares of Common Stock to the Preferred Stockholders (the “Additional Shares”) (A) automatically upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), to the extent that (i) the Qualified Public Offering closes within six (6) months of the first closing of the convertible notes offering (“Qualified Public Offering Deadline”) and (ii) 70% of the public offering price per share of the Common Stock in the Qualified Public Offering (the “QPO Discount Price”) is less than the Conversion Price floor contained in Section 7(e)(i) of the Certificate of Designation (the “Conversion Price Floor”), or (B) if a Qualified Public Offering has not been consummated by the Qualified Public Offering Deadline, upon the Preferred Stockholders’ conversion of their shares of Preferred Stock to the extent that 70% of the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of the Common Stock during the ten Trading Days (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) immediately preceding the Qualified Public Offering Deadline (the “Non-QPO Discount Price”) is less than the Conversion Price Floor.

 

The Warrants are exercisable on any day on or after the date of issuance, have an exercise price of $24.38 per share, subject to adjustment, and a term of five years from the date they are first exercisable. However, a holder will be prohibited from exercising a Warrant if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates, would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation as described above for the Preferred Shares. If any Warrant has not been fully exercised prior to the first anniversary of the Closing and if during such period the Company has not installed or received firm purchase orders (accepted by the Company) for at least 500 STREAMWAY ® Automated Surgical Fluid Disposal Systems, then, the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may be exercised shall be increased 2.5 times.

 

In addition, in July, August and September 2014, the Company issued 71,257 warrants to investors in convertible notes as further described below.

 

Accounting for share-based payment

 

The Company has adopted ASC 718- Compensation-Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). Under ASC 718 stock-based employee compensation cost is recognized using the fair value based method for all new awards granted after January 1, 2006 and unvested awards outstanding at January 1, 2006. Compensation costs for unvested stock options and non-vested awards that were outstanding at January 1, 2006, are being recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of those options and awards, using a straight-line method. We elected the modified-prospective method under which prior periods are not retroactively restated.

 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model or other acceptable means. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period of time employees will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term, the number of options that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements, the expected dividend rate and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognized. The assumptions the Company uses in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent the Company's best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company's equity-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

 

12
 

 

Since the Company's common stock has no significant public trading history, and the Company has experienced no significant option exercises in its history, the Company is required to take an alternative approach to estimating future volatility and estimated life and the future results could vary significantly from the Company's estimates. The Company compiled historical volatilities over a period of 2 to 7 years of 15 small-cap medical companies traded on major exchanges and 10 mid-range medical companies on the OTC Bulletin Board and combined the results using a weighted average approach. In the case of ordinary options to employees the Company determined the expected life to be the midpoint between the vesting term and the legal term. In the case of options or warrants granted to non-employees, the Company estimated the life to be the legal term unless there was a compelling reason to make it shorter.

 

When an option or warrant is granted in place of cash compensation for services, the Company deems the value of the service rendered to be the value of the option or warrant. In most cases, however, an option or warrant is granted in addition to other forms of compensation and its separate value is difficult to determine without utilizing an option pricing model. For that reason the Company also uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value options and warrants granted to non-employees, which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period the investors or consultants will retain vested stock options and warrants before exercising them, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term, the number of options and warrants that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements, the expected dividend rate and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based consulting and/or compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognized.

 

Since the Company has limited trading history in its stock and no first-hand experience with how its investors and consultants have acted in similar circumstances, the assumptions the Company uses in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent its best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company's equity-based consulting and interest expense could be materially different in the future.

 

Valuation and accounting for options and warrants

 

The Company determines the grant date fair value of options and warrants using a Black-Scholes option valuation model based upon assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate, volatility and estimated term.

 

In January 2013, in connection with a private placement offering we issued 8% convertible one year promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 convertible into 33,333 shares of common stock assuming a conversion rate of $9.00 per share and five year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 33,333 shares of the corporation’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.25 per share. The value of the notes are being treated as a debt discount with an aggregate discount of $77,644, and amortized as an additional interest expense over the twelve month term of the notes. In addition, we issued to the placement agent for these sales five year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share.

 

In January and March 2013, in connection with a separate and new private placement offering we issued 95,238 shares of common stock at $5.25 per share and warrants to purchase 95,238 shares of common stock at $11.25 per share to 5 investors in return for their $500,000 investment in the Company.

In May 2013, the Company converted four (4) notes totaling $156,243, plus $11,169 in interest; issued in November 2012, the noteholders received 14,881 shares of common stock, par value $.01, at $7.50 per share. One of the noteholders was Dr. Samuel Horowitz who received 4,762 shares.

 

In May and June 2013 in connection with a private placement offering we issued 8% convertible one year promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 convertible into 80,000 shares of common stock assuming a conversion rate of $13.50 per share and five year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 61,481 shares of the corporation’s common stock at an exercise price of $14.85 per share. The value of the notes net of discount was $275,640 in 2013; due in May and June 2014. In addition, we issued to the placement agent for these sales five year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,926 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $13.50 per share.

 

In August and September 2013 the Company entered into agreements with holders of certain of its outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock to amend the exercise price of the warrant to $7.50 per share in connection with the agreement of each such holder to exercise the warrants in full. Prior to the amendments, the exercise prices of such warrants ranged from $11.25 to $34.50 per share. Twenty-four warrants were exercised with a reduced exercise price, and nineteen warrants were exercised pursuant to a net exercise provision. Together such warrant exercises resulted in aggregate cash proceeds of $1,044,490 to the Company, and the issuance of an aggregate 139,265 shares of common stock through the reduced warrant exercise and 87,117 shares which were issued pursuant to a net exercise provision.

 

In October 2013 the Company entered into agreements with a holder of certain of its outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock to amend the exercise price of the warrant to $9.38 per share in connection with the agreement of the holder to exercise the warrants in full. Prior to the amendments, the exercise price of such warrants was $18.75 per share. Two warrants were exercised with a reduced exercise price. Together the warrant exercises resulted in aggregate cash proceeds of $125,000 to the Company, and the issuance of an aggregate 13,333 shares of common stock.

 

For grants of stock options and warrants in 2013 the Company used a 0.78% to 2.04% risk-free interest rate, 0% dividend rate, 59% or 66% volatility and estimated terms of 5 or 10 years. Value computed using these assumptions ranged from $1.43 to $18.34 per share.

 

In January 2014 the Company issued 4,336 shares of common stock to the former CEO at $1.25 per share upon his exercising options.

 

In January through March 2014, 9 warrant holders exercised warrants through a cashless exercise for a total of 15,442 shares of common stock.

 

In January and February 2014 the Company issued warrants to purchase 21,538 shares pursuant to a February 4, 2014 private placement whereby the Company issued 20,550 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock raising gross proceeds of $2,055,000. The warrants are at an exercise price of $24.38.

 

In February 2014 the Company issued a warrant to purchase 1,482 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $20.25 to a major shareholder Dr. Samuel Herschkowitz. The warrant is in consideration for a bridge loan extended in December 2013 that has been paid in February 2014.

 

On March 31, 2014, the Company issued dividends to the Purchasers of the Preferred Shares as described above. The dividends are at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of the Preferred Shares paid on a quarterly basis in the form of common stock per a stipulated $19.50 per share. As a result 970 shares of common stock were issued to 16 holders of Preferred Shares.

 

In March 2014, the Company issued 4,444 shares of common stock to a warrant holder for a partial cash exercise at $11.25 per share; issued 3,333 shares to the holder via the cashless exercise of the remainder of the warrant.

In June 2014, the Company issued 3,725 shares of common stock to a warrant holder exercising cashless warrants.

 

On June 30, 2014, the Company issued dividends to the Purchasers of the Preferred Shares as described above. The dividends are at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of the Preferred Shares paid on a quarterly basis in the form of common stock per a stipulated $19.50 per share. As a result 1,561 shares of common stock were issued to 16 holders of Preferred Shares.

 

On June 30, 2014, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 5,431 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $12.38 to SOK Partners, LLC, in consideration for a bridge loan in the form of convertible notes. On September 9, 2014 the Resale Registration Statement went into effect. The convertible note agreement provided an immediate approximately 11% reduction to the warrant agreement. Therefore, the warrant has been adjusted to purchase 4,831 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $12.38 to SOK Partners, LLC in consideration for a bridge loan.

 

In July 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 28,986 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $12.38 to two lenders in consideration for a bridge loan in the form of convertible notes. The shares above reflect approximately an 11% reduction resulting from the Resale Registration Statement that went effective September 9, 2014.

  

In August 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 61,539 of common stock at an exercise price of $24.38 to the Purchasers of the Preferred Shares. The Securities Purchase Agreement with the Preferred Shareholders stipulated that if the Company was not listed on either the NASDAQ Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE MKT within 180 days of closing the agreement then warrants to purchase the above additional shares would be issued in aggregate to the Preferred Shareholders.

 

In August and September 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 37,440 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $12.38 to four lenders in consideration for a bridge loan in the form of convertible notes. The shares above reflect the approximate 11% reduction resulting from the Resale Registration Statement that went effective September 9, 2014.

  

On September 30, 2014, the Company issued dividends to the Purchasers of the Preferred Shares as described above. The dividends are at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of the Preferred Shares paid on a quarterly basis in the form of common stock per a stipulated $19.50 per share. As a result 1,561 shares of common stock were issued to 16 holders of Preferred Shares.

 

For grants of stock options and warrants in 2014 the Company used a 1.44% to 2.75% risk-free interest rate, 0% dividend rate, 59% to 66% volatility and estimated terms of 5 to 10 years. Value computed using these assumptions ranged from $3.21 to $13.91 per share.

NOTE 4 – SHORT-TERM NOTES PAYABLE

 

On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SOK Securities Purchase Agreement”) with SOK Partners, LLC, an affiliate of the Company (“SOK”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell (i) a senior convertible note, in an original principal amount of $122,196 (the “SOK Note”), which SOK Note shall be convertible into a certain amount of shares (the “SOK Conversion Shares”) of Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the SOK Note, and (ii) a warrant (the “SOK Warrant”) to initially acquire up to 5,431 additional shares of Common Stock (the “SOK Warrant Shares”, and collectively with the SOK Note, the SOK Warrant and the SOK Conversion Shares, the “SOK Securities”) for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 (with the reduced principal amount as described below representing an approximately 8.7% original issue discount) (the “SOK Convertible Notes Offering”). Upon effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement (as defined below) on September 9, 2014, the principal amount of the note was reduced to $108,696 and the number of warrants was reduced to 4,831 shares.

 

Also, on July 23, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 31 Group, LLC (an affiliate of Aegis Capital Corp., the underwriter for the Company’s pending public offering) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell (i) a senior convertible note, in an original principal amount of $610,978 (subsequently reduced to $543,478) (the “31 Group Note”), which shall be convertible into a certain amount of shares of Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the 31 Group Note, (ii) a warrant (the “31 Group Warrant”) to initially acquire up to 27,155 additional shares of Common Stock (subsequently reduced to 24,155 shares) (the “31 Group Conversion Shares”, and collectively with the 31 Group Note, the 31 Group Warrant and the 31 Conversion Shares, the “31 Group Securities”) for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 (representing an approximately 8.7% original issue discount) (the “31 Group Convertible Notes Offering”).

 

On July 31, 2014, August 8, 2014, August 12, 2014, September 4, 2014 and September 5, 2014, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (collectively, the “Affiliate Securities Purchase Agreements”) with certain affiliates of the Company and certain persons with whom the Company was required to have a pre-existing relationship (the “Affiliates”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell (i) senior convertible notes, in an original aggregate principal amount of $1,069,222 (subsequently reduced to $951,086) (the “Affiliate Notes”), which Affiliate Notes shall be convertible into a certain amount of shares (the “Affiliate Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Affiliate Notes, and (ii) warrants (the “Affiliate Warrants”) to initially acquire up to 48,879 additional shares of Common Stock (subsequently reduced to 42,271 shares) (the “Affiliate Warrant Shares”, and collectively with the Affiliate Notes, the Affiliate Warrants and the Affiliate Conversion Shares, the “Affiliate Securities”) for an aggregate purchase price of $875,000 (representing an approximately 8.7% original issue discount) (the “Affiliate Convertible Notes Offering”).

The effect of the shares that would be issued upon exercise of such options and warrants has been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because those shares are anti-dilutive.

 

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

The provision for income taxes consists of an amount for taxes currently payable and a provision for tax consequences deferred to future periods.  Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

There is no income tax provision in the accompanying statements of operations due to the cumulative operating losses that indicate a 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets and state income taxes is appropriate.

 

During September 2013, the Company experienced an "ownership change" as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code which could potentially limit the ability to utilize the Company’s net operating losses (NOLs). The general limitation rules allow the Company to utilize its NOLs subject to an annual limitation that is determined by multiplying the federal long-term tax-exempt rate by the Company’s value immediately before the ownership change.

 

18
 

  

At September 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $16.0 million of gross NOLs to reduce future federal taxable income, the majority of which are expected to be available for use in 2015, subject to the Section 382 limitation described above. The federal NOLs will expire beginning in 2022 if unused. The Company also had approximately $17.1 million of gross NOLs to reduce future state taxable income at September 30, 2014, which will expire in years 2022 through 2034 if unused. The Company's net deferred tax assets, which include the NOLs, are subject to a full valuation allowance. At September 30, 2014, the federal and state valuation allowances were $7.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

 

The components of deferred income taxes at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
         
Deferred Tax Asset:          
Net Operating Loss  $7,920,000   $3,259,000 
Other   631,000    59,000 
Total Deferred Tax Asset   8,551,000    3,318,000 
Less Valuation Allowance   8,551,000    3,318,000 
Net Deferred Income Taxes  $   $ 

 

NOTE 7 – RENT OBLIGATION

 

The Company leases its principal office under a lease that can be cancelled after three years with proper notice per the lease and an amortized schedule of adjustments that will be due to the landlord. The lease extends five years and expires January 2018. In addition to rent, the Company pays real estate taxes and repairs and maintenance on the leased property. Rent expense was $15,719 and $48,775, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and was $11,162 and $46,321 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 respectively.

 

The Company’s rent obligation for the next five years is as follows:

 

2015  $37,000 
2016  $38,000 
2017  $39,000 
2018  $3,600 
2019  $- 

 

NOTE 8 – LIABILITY FOR EQUITY-LINKED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company adopted ASC 815- Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) on January 1, 2009. ASC 815 mandates a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument or embedded feature is indexed to the entity's own stock. It was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, which was the Company's first quarter of 2009. Many of the warrants issued by the Company contain a strike price adjustment feature, which upon adoption of ASC 815, changed the classification (from equity to liability) and the related accounting for warrants with a $479,910 estimated fair value of as of January 1, 2009. An adjustment was made to remove $486,564 from paid-in capital (the cumulative values of the warrants on their grant dates), a positive adjustment of $6,654 was made to accumulated deficit, representing the gain on valuation from the grant date to January 1, 2009, and $479,910 was booked as a liability. The warrants issued in 2011 do not contain a strike price adjustment feature and, therefore, are not treated as a liability.

 

The January 1, 2009 valuation was computed using the Black-Scholes valuation model based upon a 2.5-year expected term, an expected volatility of 63%, an exercise price of $34.50 per share, a stock price of $26.25, a zero dividend rate and a 1.37% risk free interest rate. Subsequent to January 1, 2009 these warrants were re-valued at the end of each quarter and a gain or loss was recorded based upon their increase or decrease in value during the quarter. Likewise, new warrants that were issued during 2009 and 2010 were valued, using the Black-Scholes valuation model on their date of grant and an entry was made to reduce paid-in capital and increase the liability for equity-linked financial instruments. These warrants were also re-valued at the end of each quarter based upon their expected life, the stock price, the exercise price, assumed dividend rate, expected volatility and risk free interest rate. A significant reduction in the liability was realized in 2010 primarily due to a reduction from $37.50 to $16.50 per share in the underlying stock price. The Company realized a slight increase in the liability for existing warrants during the first quarter of 2012. In 2013 there was a significant decrease in the liability primarily due to current expirations and the amount of warrants reaching expiration in the near term. In 2014, all warrants expired and the liability was reduced to zero.

 

19
 

  

The inputs to the Black-Scholes model during 2009 through 2014 were as follows:

 

Stock price $4.50 to $37.50
Exercise price $.75 to $24.38
Expected life 2.0 to 6.5 years
Expected volatility 59%
Assumed dividend rate - %
Risk-free interest rate .13% to 2.97%

The remaining disclosure of this Note 9 provides historical information regarding the Herschkowitz Note, the SOK Note and certain other convertible note issuances.

 

On March 28, 2012, the Company, entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2012 (the “SOK Purchase Agreement”) with SOK Partners, LLC (“SOK Partners”), and an investment partnership. Josh Kornberg, who is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Dr. Samuel Herschkowitz are affiliates of the manager of SOK Partners and Ricardo Koenigsberger, a director, is a holder of membership units of SOK Partners. Pursuant to the SOK Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a 20.0% convertible note due August 2012 in the principal amount of up to $600,000. Principal and accrued interest on the note is due and payable on August 28, 2012. The Company’s obligations under the note are secured by the grant of a security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. The SOK Purchase Agreement and the note include customary events of default that include, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross-defaults to other indebtedness and bankruptcy and insolvency defaults. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the note, and interest rate of twenty-four (24%) percent per annum accrues if the note is not paid when due.

 

On March 28, 2012, the Company received an advance of $84,657 under the note, including a cash advance of $60,000 net of a prepayment of interest on the first $300,000 in advances under the note. The holder of the note is entitled to convert the note into shares of common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price per share of $4.88 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of (1) certain issuances of common stock or convertible securities at a price lower than the conversion price of the note, and (2) recapitalizations, stock splits, reorganizations and similar events. In addition, the Company is required to issue two installments of an equity bonus to SOK Partners in the form of common stock valued at the rate of $4.88 per share. In March 2012, the Company issued the first equity bonus to SOK Partners, consisting of 61,539 shares of common stock, with a second installment due within five business days after SOK Partners has made aggregate advances under the note of at least $300,000. In May 2012 the Company issued the second installment consisting of 61,539 shares of common stock subsequent to SOK Partners surpassing the aggregate advances of $300,000. Until the maturity date of the note, if the Company obtains financing from any other source without the consent of SOK Partners, then the Company is required to issue additional bonus equity in an amount equal to $600,000 less the aggregate advances on the note made prior to the breach. The principal balance of the SOK Note was $357,282 as of December 31, 2012.

 

As long as any amount payable under the SOK Note remains outstanding, SOK Partners or its designee is entitled to appoint a new member to the Company’s Board of Directors, who will be appointed upon request. Mr. Koenigsberger was appointed to the Board by SOK Partners on June 25, 2012.

 

On March 28, 2012, the Company signed an Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2011, with Dr. Samuel Herschkowitz (as amended, the “Herschkowitz Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Herschkowitz Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a 20.0% convertible note due June 20, 2012 in the principal amount of $240,000 for previous advances under the note. The Company’s obligations under the note are secured by the grant of a security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. The Company has previously issued to Dr. Herschkowitz an equity bonus consisting of 20,623 shares of common stock. An additional 100,000 shares were transferred to Dr. Herschkowitz effective in April 2012, upon the occurrence of an event of default on the note. On August 13, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement and forbearance agreement described below, relating to the defaults under the Herschkowitz Note and other matters.

 

21
 

  

As long as any amount payable under the Herschkowitz Note remains outstanding, Dr. Herschkowitz or his designee is entitled to appoint a special advisor to the Company’s Board of Directors, to be appointed as a member upon request. Pursuant to this authority, Josh Kornberg was appointed to the Board on March 9, 2012. In addition, pursuant to this authority, Mr. Koenigsberger was appointed to the Board on June 25, 2012.

 

Pursuant to a letter dated April 12, 2012, Dr. Herschkowitz advised the Company of the occurrence of numerous events of default under the terms of the Herschkowitz Note and the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement. As a result of such events of default, Dr. Herschkowitz asserted significant rights as a secured creditor of the Company, including his rights as a secured creditor with a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company. Without a settlement relating to the defaults and other matters, Dr. Herschkowitz could have taken action to levy upon the Company’s assets, including patents and other intellectual property.

 

In addition, the Company and Atlantic Partners Alliance LLC (“APA”) were parties to a letter agreement dated March 14, 2012, providing APA and its affiliates (including Dr. Herschkowitz and SOK) with rights to avoid dilution relating to additional issuances of equity securities by the Company through July 14, 2012, evidencing the parties’ intent that APA would be provided with significant protection against dilution. This protection was in recognition of APA’s investments in the Company involving a high degree of risk and the Company’s contemplated need for restructuring its indebtedness, which were anticipated to result, and have resulted, in significant dilution. The parties acknowledged that Dr. Herschkowitz and SOK would not have made their historical cash investments in the Company to the same degree had the dilution protection not been provided, and the investments by these parties have enabled the Company to avoid insolvency. Since the respective dates of the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement and the SOK Note Purchase Agreement, the Company had issued in excess of 213,334 shares of common stock to parties other than APA and its affiliates, resulting in significant dilution.

 

Effective August 15, 2012, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Dr. Herschkowitz, APA and SOK (the “Forbearance Agreement”). Under the Forbearance Agreement, among other things, (i) Dr. Herschkowitz agreed to forbear from asserting his rights as a secured creditor to substantially all of the Company’s assets, resulting from the Company’s defaults; (ii) the Company issued an aggregate 353,334 shares of common stock to Dr. Herschkowitz and SOK and adjusted the conversion price of their convertible notes to $1.05 per share from $4.88 per share, to satisfy the Company’s obligations to adjust for dilution; (iii) Dr. Herschkowitz and SOK agreed to extend the maturity of their notes to December 31, 2012; (iv) the Company agreed to pay certain compensation to Dr. Herschkowitz upon the achievement of financial milestones and (v) Dr. Herschkowitz clarified and waived certain of his rights, including the right to interest at a penalty rate upon default.

 

In the Forbearance Agreement, Dr. Herschkowitz agreed to forbear from exercising any of his rights arising under the Herschkowitz Note or the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement with respect to the existing defaults against the Company, subject to the limitations set forth in the letter agreement and without releasing or waiving any future breach of the letter agreement. He further agreed to forbear from exercising any rights with respect to events of default, security interests in the collateral and other similar remedies against the Company or his interests under the Herschkowitz Note or the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement until the occurrence of an event of default under the Herschkowitz Note: (a) that does not constitute an existing default and (b) occurs and accrues after the date of the letter agreement.

 

Dr. Herschkowitz and the Company acknowledged that 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, constituting the “penalty shares” under the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement, were delivered to Dr. Herschkowitz in April 2012 as provided in the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement upon an event of default. Notwithstanding a provision that would have increased the rate of interest from 20% to 24% upon an event of default, Dr. Herschkowitz agreed that the Company would not pay the increased rate of interest but would accrue interest at 20% until a subsequent event of default.

 

Under the Forbearance Agreement, the Herschkowitz Note and the SOK Note were amended as follows: (i) the due dates of the notes were extended to December 31, 2012 from the previous due dates of June 20, 2012 and August 28, 2012, respectively; (ii) Dr. Herschkowitz will release his security agreement after payment of all currently outstanding promissory notes to parties other than SOK; and (iii) the Herschkowitz Note was amended to add certain events of default relating to judgments against the Company or other creditors taking action with respect to the collateral. In consideration of the extension additional milestone fees were revised as described below. Pursuant to a Forbearance and Settlement Agreement with these parties dated August 15, 2012, as subsequently amended, the due date of these notes were extended to August 31, 2013.

 

22
 

  

APA and its affiliates agreed to terminate the letter agreement regarding dilution dated March 14, 2012. In consideration of the various provisions of the letter agreement and in recognition of the understanding of the parties regarding dilution and the agreements of APA and its affiliates to forbear and to extend the due dates of the notes, the Company (i) issued 176,667 shares to Dr. Herschkowitz, (ii) issued 176,667 shares to SOK, and (iii) the conversion price of the Herschkowitz Note and the SOK Note, respectively was changed to $1.05 per share from $4.88 per share.

 

In the event that the Company consummated the following series of transactions on or prior to June 30, 2013: (i) a merger or similar transaction with a public shell company, (ii) raising between $2 million and $4 million through an offering of the securities of the public shell company concurrent with or subsequent to the shell merger and (iii) listing the Company’s shares on NASDAQ pursuant to an underwritten offering of the Company’s securities resulting in gross proceeds of between $5 million and $30 million, then the Company would have to be required to deliver to Dr. Herschkowitz the following compensation: (A) $75,000 upon consummating the shell merger, (B) $150,000 upon consummating the qualifying financing round and (C) 3% of the gross proceeds of the NASDAQ underwriting, which payment shall under no circumstances be less than $200,000 or greater than $1,000,000. The Company was also required to reimburse Dr. Herschkowitz at his actual out-of-pocket cost for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the shell transactions, with a maximum limit of $10,000 for such expenses.

 

In connection with the extension of the due date for the Herschkowitz Note and the SOK Note on March 6, 2013, the milestone fees were revised. The following fees were payable to Dr. Herschkowitz in the event that the Company consummates the following series of transactions on or prior to December 31, 2013: (i) financing raising not less than $1 million, compensation of $75,000; (ii) a going private transaction, compensation of $200,000 or greater and (iii) 3% of the gross proceeds of the NASDAQ underwriting, which payment shall under no circumstances be less than $200,000 or greater than $3,000,000. In May 2013 Dr. Herschkowitz received $75,000 after the Company surpassed raising $1 million.

 

As a result of the transactions under the Forbearance Agreement and other investments, Dr. Herschkowitz, SOK and their affiliates currently own shares of common stock and securities representing beneficial ownership of more than 57% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, giving such parties significant control over election of the Board of Directors and other matters.

 

On November 6, 2012, the Company issued and sold convertible promissory notes in the total principal amount of $156,243 to Dr. Herschkowitz and certain of his assignees.  The Company issued to these parties an aggregate 20,833 shares of common stock in consideration of placement of the notes. The notes bear interest at a rate of 20% per annum and are secured by a security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable, patents and certain patent rights and are convertible into common stock upon certain mergers or other fundamental transactions at a conversion price based on the trading price prior to the transaction. The proceeds from this transaction were used to pay off approximately $155,000 in principal amount of secured indebtedness. Such notes were converted in April 2013 in to 13,889 shares of common stock at $7.50 per share.

 

In December 2013, the Company received an additional $300,000 in debt financing from SOK Partners under a non-convertible grid note due February 28, 2014, with 10% interest based on a 365 day year. Dr. Herschkowitz received 10% of the gross proceeds in advance, and the Company received $250,000 in three tranches in December 2013. In January 2014, the Company received an additional $20,000 from SOK Partners completing the grid note maximum. Should the company default on the note the interest rate will increase to 20% interest based on a 365 day year. In February 2014, the Company paid $305,589.04 to SOK Partners in complete payment of the grid note, including interest.

 

In connection with the sale of the Preferred Shares on February 4, 2014 as described in Note 3, Josh Kornberg, our CEO, was one of the Purchasers. Mr. Kornberg purchased 19,231 Preferred Shares for a purchase price of $25,000 and received warrants to purchase 52 shares of common stock.

 

23
 

  

On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into the SOK Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell certain securities to SOK, as described in Note 4 of this Report.

 

Note 10 – Retirement Savings Plan

 

We have a pre-tax salary reduction/profit-sharing plan under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which covers employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. In fiscal 2012, 2013 and again in 2014, we matched 100% of the employee’s contribution up to 4% of their earnings. The employer contribution was $14,102 and $9,231 for the three months ending September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, and was $29,596 and $27,328, for the nine months ending September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

On July 17, 2014, Skyline Medical Inc. (the “Company”) and a stockholder entered into a settlement agreement and release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Marshall Ryan (“Ryan”) and a company related to Ryan (together, the “Plaintiffs”). The settlement relates to a previously disclosed lawsuit by the Plaintiffs initiated in March 2014. Ryan is an engineer who previously worked with the Company on design of certain of the Company’s products. The lawsuit alleged among other things, breach of a 2008 consulting agreement, a 2006 manufacturing agreement and a 2006 supply agreement among the Plaintiffs and the Company, various claims of fraud and negligent misrepresentation, and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing.

 

Under the Settlement Agreement, the parties have agreed that the lawsuit will be dismissed. The Company has agreed to pay Ryan an aggregate of $500,000 in various cash installments through April 25, 2015, which amount includes $200,000 in installments that are payable during the remainder of 2014. The Settlement Agreement, among other things, extinguishes any prior claims of Plaintiffs for royalties or other alleged rights to payments under their prior agreements with the Company. Payment of the outstanding balance under the Settlement Agreement will be accelerated if the Company raises $2 million or more of gross dollars in a single funding round or raises aggregate funding of $4 million of gross dollars on or before April 10, 2015. If the Company defaults on the required cash payments and fails to cure as provided in the Settlement Agreement, then Ryan will have the option to either sue Skyline to enforce the Settlement Agreement or rescind the Settlement Agreement, including returning all payments previously made thereunder.

 

The Settlement Agreement also contains mutual releases covering claims other than a breach of the Settlement Agreement. In the Settlement Agreement, Ryan fully, unconditionally and irrevocably affirms and ratifies the Company’s rights to Ryan’s prior patent assignments, and disclaims any right, title or interest in the Company’s Streamway product including any claims to royalties both past and future. In addition, the parties confirmed that the patents related to the Streamway product belong exclusively to Skyline and remain in full force and effect.

 

Note 12 – Supplemental Cash Flow Data

 

Cash payments for interest were $21,627 and $14,503 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, and $43,233 and $56,433 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

As described in Note 1 to the Condensed Financial Statements under “Subsequent Events”, the Company effected a 1-for-75 reverse stock split effective October 24, 2014. In the Condensed Financial Statement and Notes thereto, and elsewhere in this Report, all numbers of shares and per share amounts, as appropriate, have been restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

 

We were incorporated in Minnesota in April 2002 under the name BioDrain Medical, Inc. Effective August 6, 2013, the Company changed its name to Skyline Medical Inc. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated effective December 16, 2013, the Company merged with and into a Delaware corporation with the same name that was its wholly-owned subsidiary, with such Delaware Corporation as the surviving corporation of the merger. We are a development stage company manufacturing an environmentally conscientious system for the collection and disposal of infectious fluids that result from surgical procedures and post-operative care.   Since our inception in 2002, we have invested significant resources into product development.  We believe that our success depends upon converting the traditional process of collecting and disposing of infectious fluids from the operating rooms of medical facilities to our wall-mounted Fluid Management System (“FMS”) and use of our proprietary cleaning fluid and filter kit.

 

We currently have six Regional Sales Managers to sell the STREAMWAY System. In the first three quarters of 2014 we have signed a contract with an Independent Distributor covering New York and surrounding areas, as well as, two other independent contracting groups handling parts of the Midwest and the Southeast. 

 

Since inception, we have been unprofitable. We incurred net losses of approximately $1.1 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We incurred net losses of approximately $4.5 million and $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $33.2 million. We received approval from the FDA in April 2009 to commence sales and marketing activities of the STREAMWAY FMS system and shipped the first system in 2009. However, there was no significant revenue prior to 2011, primarily due to lack of funds to build and ship the product.

 

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company commenced sales of an updated version of the STREAMWAY System, which provides a number of enhancements to the existing product line including a more intuitive and easier to navigate control screen, data storage capabilities, and additional inlet ports on the filters, among other improvements. This updated version utilizes improved technology, augmenting the capability for continuous flow and continuous suctioning, as covered by our provisional patent application filed in 2013 and our non-provisional patent application filed in January 2014. In total the Company has sold seventy units through September 30, 2014.

 

We expect the revenue for STREAMWAY units to increase significantly, subject to market and product risks, at such time as the hospitals approve the use of the units for their applications based on trial basis units and place orders for billable units. Trial basis units are either installed in or hung on the hospital room wall. The unit is connected to the hospital plumbing and sewer systems, as well as, the hospital vacuum system. The unit remains on the customer site for 2 – 4 weeks, as contracted, at no cost to the customer. However, the customer does purchase the disposable kits necessary to effectively operate the units. Once the trial period has expired the unit is either returned to the Company or purchased by the customer. If purchased, at that time, the Company invoices the customer based upon a contracted price negotiated prior to the trial.

 

We have never generated sufficient revenues to fund our capital requirements. We have funded our operations through a variety of debt and equity instruments. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Historical Financing” below. Our future cash requirements and the adequacy of available funds depend on our ability to sell our products. See “Plan of Financing; Going Concern Qualification” below.

 

As a company still in development, our limited history of operations makes prediction of future operating results difficult. We believe that period to period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied on as predictive of our future results.

Results of Operations

 

Revenue. The Company recognized $397,000 of revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $108,000 in revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recognized $786,000 in revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $386,000 in revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The revenue in the first nine months of 2014 included the sale of 43 STREAMWAY systems. Three STREAMWAY Systems were sold under the Company’s pay per procedure plan whereby hardware revenue is recognized on a per procedure basis. In essence, the Company adds a premium charge on top of the cleaning solution per bottle price representing an amortized amount of the STREAMWAY unit over an agreed upon period between the customer and Skyline.

 

Cost of sales. Cost of sales in the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $135,000 and $26,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2013. Cost of sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $264,000 and $135,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The gross profit margin was approximately 66% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our margins still vary as our initial production of the STREAMWAY has been released for sale. We expect our margins to increase over the next several quarters as our manufacturing production becomes more consistent, and as increased sales allow us to achieve volume purchasing discounts on both equipment components and our cleaning solution. Over the next several quarters, we expect increases in revenues to exceed increases in costs related to increasing manufacturing and sales capabilities.

 

General and Administrative expense. General and administrative expense primarily consists of management salaries, professional fees, consulting fees, travel expense, administrative fees and general office expenses.

 

General and Administrative (G&A) expenses decreased by $2,458,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the 2013 period. G&A decreased by $2,660,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the 2013 period. The primary decrease was due to stock based and investor stock compensation reductions of $2,440,000 resulting from fewer private placements quarter to quarter. Tangentially, our legal fees were down by $162,000. There were moderate offsetting increases due to salaries of $39,000 corporate insurance of $24,000 and for finder’s fees of $74,000. The decrease in the nine month period was primarily due to stock based and investor stock compensation reductions of $3,464,000 resulting from the structure of private placements in 2014. Other decreases were for reduced legal fees of $88,000, lower consulting expenses of $73,000 and amortization of $141,000 written-off in 2013 for our generation one technology. Offsetting increases were for salaries of $136,000 as a result of hiring a controller and company-wide raises, corporate insurance expenses of $42,000, recruiting fees of $60,000, fund raising consulting fees of $284,000 and $463,000 due to the Marshall Ryan settlement in 2014.

  

Operations expense. Operations expense primarily consists of expenses related to product development and prototyping and testing in the company’s current stage.

 

Operations expense decreased by $171,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the 2013 period. Operations decreased by $23,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the 2013 period. The three and nine month decreases are mainly because of lower stock based compensation of $126,000 and $127,000, respectively. There were moderate offsetting increases from consulting of $7,000 and $45,000 due to hiring a quality control contractor and additional engineers and for shipping and postage of $14,000 and $34,000 for expedited orders that were on backorder.

 

Sales and Marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense consists of expenses required to sell products through independent reps, attendance at trades shows, product literature and other sales and marketing activities.

 

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $160,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the 2013 period. Sales and marketing increased by $492,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the 2013 period. The three and nine month increases are comprised of salaries of $153,000 and $363,000 due to hiring four additional regional sales managers, commissions of $21,000 and $33,000 for both periods as system sales rose in the third quarter, a $11,000 and $35,000 increase over both periods in employee benefits resulting from the increased hires, increases in travel expense of $15,000 and $58,000 relating to new hires, a $15,000 increase in marketing expenses in the third quarter and increases in advertising of $4,000 and $12,000, respectively. There was some offset by reduced public relations expenses of $35,000 and $84,000, respectively.

 

26
 

 

Interest expense. Interest dropped significantly in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. There was a decrease of $276,000 in interest expense in the three-month period and $465,000 in the nine month period. The lower interest is due to the elimination of convertible notes and all but one settlement agreement less the addition of original issue discounts to SOK Partners and six other convertible note holders for our 2014 bridge loan.

 

The (Gain)/Loss on revaluation of equity-linked financial instruments reflected a gain of $0 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a gain of $65,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2013. The reflected gain is $11,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a gain of $154,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The reduced gain in the current periods resulted from fewer expiring warrants; there are no warrants remaining to the equity-linked financial instruments.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flows

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $3,142,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with net cash used of $3,336,000 for the 2013 period. The difference in cash used in operating activities was due to increases in accounts payables as vendors increased terms for the past quarter, increases in accrued liabilities as payroll liabilities were increased; this was offset by increased purchases of inventories as more systems were in production.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities was $122,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $102,000 dollars for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As we have grown our fixed asset acquisitions have increased as well. We have purchased furniture, computers, and software, have incurred leasehold improvements and issued demonstration units to our sales force.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,407,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to net cash provided of $3,753,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The provision in 2014 was primarily the result of completing a private placement for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock resulting in gross proceeds of $2,055,000 to the Company, and for receiving $1,475,000 in net cash as a result of issuing convertible notes for a bridge loan.

 

Capital Resources

 

We had a cash balance of $244,000 as of September 30, 2014. Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses. As of September 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $33,166,000.

 

From inception to September 30, 2014, our operations have been funded through a bank loan and private convertible debt of approximately $5,518,000 and equity investments totaling approximately $9,248,000. See “Historical Financing” below.

 

In the first quarter of 2014, we raised $2,055,000 in gross proceeds excluding offering expenses from a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In the third quarter we raised $1,475,000 in net proceeds from issuing convertible notes.

 

Plan of Financing; Going Concern Qualification

 

We have not achieved profitability and anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We expect that our operations, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses will increase, and as a result we will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability.

 

We are currently incurring operating expenses of approximately $350,000 per month. Although we are attempting to curtail our expenses, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reduce these expenses significantly, and expenses for some periods may be higher as we prepare our product for broader sales, increase our sales efforts and maintain adequate inventories. Further, we have approximately $5,208,000 in debts, liabilities and cash obligations that predominantly become due in the next twelve months.

 

27
 

  

In February 2014, we raised $2.0 million in gross proceeds from our private placement of convertible preferred stock and warrants. In July, August and September 2014, we sold convertible notes and warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $1.475 million. See “Historical Financing” below.

 

As a result of the above historical factors, which continued in effect as of September 30, 2014, our independent registered public accountant firm has indicated in their audit opinion, contained in our financial statements included our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, that they have serious doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements in the Form 10-K and in this Form 10-Q report have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Historical Financing

 

We have funded our operations through a combination of debt and equity instruments. We funded our early operations through a bank loan of $41,400, an equity investment of $68,000 from the Wisconsin Rural Enterprise Fund (“WREF”) and $30,000 in early equity investment from several individuals.  WREF had also previously held debt in the form of three loans of $18,000, $12,500 and $25,000.  In December 2006, WREF converted two of the loans totaling $37,500 into 43,000 shares of our common stock.  In August 2006, we secured a $10,000 convertible loan from one of our vendors.  In February 2007, we obtained $4,000 in officer and director loans and in March 2007, we arranged a $100,000 convertible note from two private investors.  In July 2007, we obtained a convertible bridge loan of $170,000.  In June 2008, we paid off the remaining $18,000 loan from WREF and raised approximately $1.6 million through a private common stock offering completed in October 2008.  The $170,000 convertible bridge loan and the $4,000 in officer and director loans were converted into shares of our common stock in October 2009.  During 2009, we raised an additional $725,000 in a private placement of stock units and/or convertible debt, with each stock or debt unit consisting of, or converting into, respectively, one share of our common stock, and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at $48.75 per share.   

 

In 2010, we raised approximately $229,000 in equity and $605,000 in convertible debt.

 

In 2011, we raised $1,386,000 in equity and $525,000 in convertible debt, including the convertible debt investment by Dr. Sam Herschkowitz described under Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, and Director Independence.”

 

In 2012, the Company raised $696,000 in equity and $529,000 in convertible debt, and $818,000 of debt was converted into equity. This convertible debt included advances on a convertible promissory note from SOK Partners, LLC, and an investment fund affiliated with one of our directors, for approximately $357,000. See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, and Director Independence.” On November 6, 2012, we entered into additional note purchase agreements with Dr. Samuel Herschkowitz, pursuant to which on the same date, we issued and sold convertible promissory notes in the total principal amount of $156,243 to Dr. Herschkowitz and certain of his assignees. Pursuant to the note purchase agreements, we issued to these parties an aggregate 20,833 shares of common stock in consideration of placement of the notes. The convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 20% per annum and are secured by a security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable, patents and certain patent rights and are convertible into common stock upon certain mergers or other fundamental transactions at a conversion price based on the trading price prior to the transaction. The proceeds from this financing were used to pay off approximately $155,000 in principal amount of secured indebtedness.

 

The Company also raised an additional $300,000 from the sale of convertible notes in January 2013. Also, in January and March 2013, the Company raised an additional $500,000 from a second private sale of equity securities. In addition, in March 2013, the Company completed a further private sale of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000. In June 2013, the Company raised an additional $1,000,000 from the sale of convertible notes. In the third quarter we also borrowed the remaining $243,000 principal amount of our convertible note payable to SOK, Partners, LLC. During the third quarter of 2013, the holders of convertible notes, including Dr. Samuel Herschkowitz and SOK Partners, LLC, converted $1,506,000 of outstanding debt, including principal and interest, into equity. The Company converted the promissory notes totaling $314,484 and $680,444, respectively, including principal and interest, on September 11, 2013 for 299,509 and 648,043 shares, respectively, at $1.05 per share. Also during the third quarter of 2013, we raised approximately $1,044,000 through the cash exercise of warrants by investors who were offered a reduction in the exercise price in connection with the exercise. In December 2013 the Company raised $280,000 in the form of a short term non-convertible note with 10% interest based on a 365 day year from SOK Partners, LLC. In January 2014 an additional $20,000 was raised and added to the original note to SOK, Partners, LLC. Josh Kornberg the CEO, is a 50% managing partner in SOK Partners, LLC.

2014 Sales of Preferred Stock and Warrants.

 

On February 4, 2014, (the “Closing Date”) we raised $2,055,000 in gross proceeds from a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Preferred Shares”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors (the “Purchasers”) who purchased 20,550 Preferred Shares, and warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate of approximately 21,334 shares of Common Stock. The Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price that was $19.50 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment. The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $24.38 per share and expire five years from the Closing Date. If the Common Stock is not listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE MKT within 180 days of the Closing, the Company shall issue additional Warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, equal to 30% of the shares of Common Stock which the Preferred Shares each Purchaser purchased are convertible into. As of August 4, 2014, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase 61,539 shares to the Purchasers in connection with this provision.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement requires the Company to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares (the “Underlying Shares”) and the Common Stock underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”). The Company is required to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 132 days of the Closing Date (as extended by subsequent consent of the Purchasers), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 147 days if there is no review by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and within 192 days in the event of such review.

 

The Preferred Shares are convertible at the option of the holder into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the stated value of the Preferred Shares being converted by the conversion price of $19.50, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar recapitalization events. If the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock, other than certain stock that is excluded under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, in one or more capital raising transactions with an aggregate purchase price of at least $100,000 for a price less than the then existing conversion price for the Preferred Shares (the “New Issuance Price”), then the then existing conversion price shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the New Issuance Price be less than $9.75 or reduced to a price level that would be in breach of the listing rules of any stock exchange or that would have material adverse effect on the Corporation’s ability to list its Common Stock on a stock exchange, including but not limited to the change of accounting treatment of the Preferred Stock. In July 2014, in connection with the issuance of certain convertible notes, the conversion price of the Preferred Stock was adjusted to $9.75 per share. Further, the Company has agreed to additional shares of Common Stock to holders of the Preferred Stock in certain circumstances, as described in the description of the Consent and Waiver below. The Preferred Shares contain certain limitations on conversion so that the holder will not own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares held by the applicable holder, with the percentage subject to increase in certain circumstances. The Preferred Shares are eligible to vote with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, but only to the extent that the Preferred Shares are eligible for conversion without exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Preferred Shares are entitled to receive dividends on a pari passu basis with the Common Stock, when, and if declared. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), after the satisfaction in full of the debts of the Company and the payment of any liquidation preference owed to the holders of shares of Common Stock ranking prior to the Preferred Shares upon liquidation, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall receive, prior and in preference to the holders of any junior securities, an amount equal to $2,055,000 times 1.2, plus all declared but unpaid dividends.

 

The Warrants issued in the offering of Preferred Shares are exercisable on any day on or after the date of issuance, have an exercise price of $24.38 per share, subject to adjustment, and a term of five years from the date they are first exercisable. However, a holder will be prohibited from exercising a Warrant if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates, would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation as described above for the Preferred Shares. If any Warrant has not been fully exercised prior to the first anniversary of the Closing and if during such period the Company has not installed or received firm purchase orders (accepted by the Company) for at least 500 STREAMWAY ® Automated Surgical Fluid Disposal Systems, then, the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may be exercised shall be increased 2.5 times.

·a consent to automatically convert all outstanding Preferred Shares upon a Qualified Public Offering pursuant to the Certificate of Designation as described further below.

 

In consideration of the waiver and consents provided by the Preferred Stockholders, the Company agreed:

·to provide the Preferred Stockholders with the right to participate in the Affiliate Convertible Notes Offering (as defined below) pro rata up to an aggregate of $500,000 based on their respective interests in the Preferred Shares; and
·to provide the Preferred Stockholders with the right to participate in the Affiliate Convertible Notes Offering pro rata up to an aggregate of $500,000 based on their respective interests in the Preferred Shares; and

2014 Sales of Convertible Notes and Warrants.

 

On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SOK Securities Purchase Agreement”) with SOK Partners, LLC, an affiliate of the Company (“SOK”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell (i) a senior convertible note, in an original principal amount of $122,195.60 (the “SOK Note”), which SOK Note shall be convertible into a certain amount of shares (the “SOK Conversion Shares”) of Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the SOK Note, and (ii) a warrant (the “SOK Warrant”) to initially acquire up to 5,431 additional shares of Common Stock (the “SOK Warrant Shares”, and collectively with the SOK Note, the SOK Warrant and the SOK Conversion Shares, the “SOK Securities”) for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 (with the reduced principal amount as described below representing an approximately 8.7% original issue discount) (the “SOK Convertible Notes Offering”). Upon effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement (as defined below) on September 9, 2014, the principal amount of the note was reduced to $108,695 and the number of warrants was reduced to 4,831 shares.

 

Also, on July 23, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 31 Group, LLC (an affiliate of Aegis Capital Corp., the underwriter for the Company’s pending public offering), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell (i) a senior convertible note, in an original principal amount of $610,978 (subsequently reduced to $543,478) (the “31 Group Note”), which shall be convertible into a certain amount of shares of Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the 31 Group Note, (ii) a warrant (the “31 Group Warrant”) to initially acquire up to 27,155 additional shares of Common Stock (subsequently reduced to 24,155 shares) (the “31 Group Conversion Shares”, and collectively with the 31 Group Note, the 31 Group Warrant and the 31 Conversion Shares, the “31 Group Securities”) for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 (representing an approximately 8.7% original issue discount) (the “31 Group Convertible Notes Offering”).

 

On July 31, 2014, August 8, 2014, August 12, 2014, September 4, 2014 and September 5, 2014, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (collectively, the “Affiliate Securities Purchase Agreements”) with certain affiliates of the Company and certain persons with whom the Company was required to have a pre-existing relationship (the “Affiliates”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell (i) senior convertible notes, in an original aggregate principal amount of $1,069,221 (subsequently reduced to $951,086) (the “Affiliate Notes”), which Affiliate Notes shall be convertible into a certain amount of shares (the “Affiliate Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Affiliate Notes, and (ii) warrants (the “Affiliate Warrants”) to initially acquire up to 48,879 additional shares of Common Stock (subsequently reduced to 42,271 shares) (the “Affiliate Warrant Shares”, and collectively with the Affiliate Notes, the Affiliate Warrants and the Affiliate Conversion Shares, the “Affiliate Securities”) for an aggregate purchase price of $875,000 (representing an approximately 8.7% original issue discount) (the “Affiliate Convertible Notes Offering”).

 

 

31
 

  

In this section, the SOK Note, 31 Group Note and the Affiliate Notes are referred to as the “2014 Convertible Notes.” Certain of the terms of the 2014 Convertible Notes and the accompanying Warrants are described below.

 

On September 30, 2014, the SOK Note, 31 Group Note and the Affiliate Notes had a combined amortization of $250,494. At the same point in time the SOK Note, the 31 Group Note and the Affiliate Notes had a combined original issue discount of $103,088. Additionally, as of September 30, 2014, the 31 Group, LLC converted $40,000 of their note. One of the affiliate investors also converted $40,000 of their note by September 30, 2014.

 

Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements and Affiliates Registration Rights Agreements, the Company was required to file a registration statement on Form S-1 to cover the resale of the Original Conversion Shares, the Original Warrant Shares, the Issued Affiliate Conversion Shares and the Issued Affiliate Warrant Shares (the “Resale Registration Statement”) and have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company filed the Resale Registration Statement on August 25, 2014 (as amended on September 8, 2014), and the Resale Registration Statement was declared effective on September 8, 2014. As a result of the Company filing the Resale Registration Statement and the SEC declaring it effective within the time periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreements and Affiliates Registration Rights Agreements, (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes was reduced from $1,802,395 to $1,603,270 (without any cash payment by the Company) and any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such portion of the principal amount of the Notes that was extinguished was similarly extinguished, and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants was reduced from 80,106 shares of Common Stock to 71,256 shares of Common Stock (without any cash payment by the Company).

  

Certain Terns of the 2014 Convertible Notes

 

The 2014 Convertible Notes mature on July 23, 2015 (subject to extension as provided in the 2014 Convertible Notes) and, in addition to the approximately 8.7% original issue discount (after the reduction of the principal amount in September 2014), accrue interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum. The holders have no voting rights as the holders of the 2014 Convertible Notes. Upon conversion of the 2014 Convertible Notes, the holders are entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock from and after the initial issuance date of the 2014 Convertible Notes to the same extent as if the holders had effected such conversion and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions.

 

32
 

  

 

The 2014 Convertible Notes are convertible at any time after issuance, in whole or in part, at the holder’s option into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the product of (x) the arithmetic average of the lowest three volume weighted average prices of the Common Stock during the ten consecutive trading days ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the applicable conversion date and (y) 72.5% (or if an event of default has occurred and is continuing, 70%), and (ii) $11.25 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events).

 

The 2014 Convertible Notes include customary events of default provisions. The 2014 Convertible Notes provides for a default interest rate of 15% per annum. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the holder may require the Company to pay in cash the “Event of Default Redemption Price” which is defined in the 2014 Convertible Notes to mean the greater of (i) the product of (A) the amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) 125% (or 100% if an insolvency related event of default) and (ii) the product of (X) the conversion price in effect at that time multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) 125% (or 100% if an insolvency related event of default) multiplied by (2) the greatest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such event of default and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this provision.

 

With respect to the 2014 Convertible Notes, the Company has the right at any time to redeem, in whole or in part, the outstanding amount then remaining under such 2014 Convertible Note (the “Remaining Amount”) at a price equal to the greater of (i) 125% of the Remaining Amount and (ii) the product of (X) the conversion price in effect at that time multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) 135% multiplied by (2) the greatest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the Company option redemption notice date and ending on the date immediately prior to the date that the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this provision. The Company is also required to initially reserve 10 million shares of Common Stock, and will take all action necessary to reserve and keep available 150% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of such portion of the 2014 Convertible Notes then outstanding.

  

Certain Terms of the Warrants Issued to Purchasers of 2014 Convertible Notes

 

The Warrants issued to the purchasers of the 2014 Convertible Notes are exercisable on any day on or after the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $12.38 per share, subject to adjustment, and a term of five years from the date of issuance. The holders, will not be entitled, by virtue of being holders of the Warrants, to vote, to consent, to receive dividends, to receive notice as shareholders with respect to any meeting of shareholders for the election of the Company’s directors or any other matter, or to exercise any rights whatsoever as our shareholders. If, however, the Company decides to declare a dividend or make distributions of its assets (the “Distribution”), the holders will be entitled to such Distribution to the same extent that the holder’s would have participated therein if the holder’s had held the number of share of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of the Warrants.

 

At any time commencing on the earliest to occur of (x) the public disclosure of any change of control, (y) the consummation of any change of control and (z) the holder first becoming aware of any change of control through the date that is ninety (90) days after the public disclosure of the consummation of such change of control by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, the Company or the successor entity (as the case may be) may have to purchase the Warrants from the holder in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrants).

 

Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business and operating results during the periods presented.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet activities as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recent Accounting Developments

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented, as well as our disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, fair value of stock-based compensation, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation.

 

We base our estimates and assumptions on our historical experience. We also used any other pertinent information available to us at the time that these estimates and assumptions are made.  We believe that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis for our making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results and outcomes could differ from our estimates.

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in Notes to Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe that the following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies and reflects those areas that require more significant judgments, and use of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our Financial Statements.

 

Revenue Recognition.   We recognize revenue in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 Revenue Recognition and ASC 605 – Revenue Recognition.

 

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon either shipment of the product or arrival at its destination based on the shipping terms of the transaction. Our standard terms specify that shipment is FOB Skyline and we will, therefore, recognize revenue upon shipment in most cases. This revenue recognition policy applies to shipments of our STREAMWAY FMS units as well as shipments of cleaning solution kits. When these conditions are satisfied, we recognize gross product revenue, which is the price we charge generally to our customers for a particular product.  Under our standard terms and conditions, there is no provision for installation or acceptance of the product to take place prior to the obligation of the customer.  The customer’s right of return is limited only to our standard one-year warranty, whereby we replace or repair, at our option.  We believe it would be rare that the STREAMWAY FMS unit or significant quantities of cleaning solution kits may be returned. Additionally, since we buy both the STREAMWAY FMS units and cleaning solution kits from “turnkey” suppliers, we would have the right to replacements from the suppliers if this situation should occur.

 

Stock-Based Compensation.   Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted ASC 718- Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).  Under ASC 718 stock-based employee compensation cost is recognized using the fair value based method for all new awards granted after January 1, 2006 and unvested awards outstanding at January 1, 2006. Compensation costs for unvested stock options and non-vested awards that were outstanding at January 1, 2006, are being recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of those options and awards, using a straight-line method. We elected the modified-prospective method in adopting ASC 718 under which prior periods are not retroactively restated.

 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period of time employees and directors will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the expected term, the number of options that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements and the risk-free interest rate.

 

34
 

  

Because we do not have significant historical trading data on our common stock we relied upon trading data from a composite of 10 medical companies traded on major exchanges and 15 medical companies quoted by the OTC Bulletin Board to help us arrive at expectations as to volatility of our own stock when broader public trading commences.    In 2013 the Company experienced significant exercises of options and warrants.  The options raised $6,500 in capital. Warrants exercised for cash produced $1,330,000 of capital. In the case of options and warrants issued to consultants and investors we used the legal term of the option/warrant as the estimated term unless there was a compelling reason to use a shorter term. The measurement date for employee and non-employee options and warrants is the grant date of the option or warrant.  The vesting period for options that contain service conditions is based upon management’s best estimate as to when the applicable service condition will be achieved.  Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognized.  The assumptions we use in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent our best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment.  As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our equity-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. See “Note 3 – Stockholders’ Deficit, Stock Options and Warrants” in Notes to Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

 

When an option or warrant is granted in place of cash compensation for services, we deem the value of the service rendered to be the value of the option or warrant.  In most cases, however, an option or warrant is granted in addition to other forms of compensation and its separate value is difficult to determine without utilizing an option pricing model.  For that reason we also use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value options and warrants granted to non-employees, which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period that investors or consultants will retain vested stock options and warrants before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the expected term, the number of options and warrants that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements and the risk-free interest rate.  Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognizes that. Since we have no trading history in our common stock and no first-hand experience with how our investors and consultants have acted in similar circumstances, the assumptions we use in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent our best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment.  As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our equity-based consulting and interest expense could be materially different in the future.

 

Since our common stock has no significant public trading history we were required to take an alternative approach to estimating future volatility and the future results could vary significantly from our estimates.  We compiled historical volatilities over a period of 2 to 7 years of 10 small-cap medical companies traded on major exchanges and 15 medical companies in the middle of the market cap size range on the OTC Bulletin Board and combined the results using a weighted average approach.  In the case of standard options to employees we determined the expected life to be the midpoint between the vesting term and the legal term.  In the case of options or warrants granted to non-employees, we estimated the life to be the legal term unless there was a compelling reason to make it shorter. 

 

Valuation of Intangible Assets

 

We review identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350- Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our intangible assets are currently solely the costs of obtaining trademarks and patents.  Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the medical device marketplace and a significant adverse change in the business climate in which we operate. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, the undiscounted cash flows method is used to determine whether the intangible asset is impaired. Cash flows would include the estimated terminal value of the asset and exclude any interest charges. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining life of the asset, the asset is considered impaired, and the impairment is measured by reducing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value using the discounted cash flows method. The discount rate utilized is based on management's best estimate of the related risks and return at the time the impairment assessment is made. The Company wrote off the entire original STREAMWAY product patent of $140,588 in June 2013. The balance represented intellectual property in the form of patents for our original STREAMWAY product. The Company’s enhanced STREAMWAY product has a new patent pending, see “Patents and Intellectual Property”.

Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” that indicate certain risks and uncertainties related to the Company, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth below and elsewhere in this report. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ from projections include:

 

·Inability to raise sufficient additional capital to operate our business;

 

·Unexpected costs and operating deficits, and lower than expected sales and revenues, if any;

 

·Adverse economic conditions;

 

·Adverse results of any legal proceedings;

 

·The volatility of our operating results and financial condition;

 

·Inability to attract or retain qualified senior management personnel, including sales and marketing personnel; and

 

·Other specific risks that may be alluded to in this report.

 

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report regarding the Company’s growth strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenue or losses, projected costs, prospects and plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements.  When used in this report, the words “will,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words.  All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report.  The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements or other information contained herein.  Potential investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Although Skyline believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements in this report are reasonable, the Company cannot assure potential investors that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved.  The Company discloses important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from its expectations in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf.

 

Information regarding market and industry statistics contained in this report is included based on information available to the Company that it believes is accurate.  It is generally based on academic and other publications that are not produced for purposes of securities offerings or economic analysis.  The Company has not reviewed or included data from all sources, and the Company cannot assure potential investors of the accuracy or completeness of the data included in this report.  Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and the additional uncertainties accompanying any estimates of future market size, revenue and market acceptance of products and services.  The Company has no obligation to update forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in assumptions or other factors that could affect those statements.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014.

  

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On July 17, 2014, Skyline Medical Inc. (the “Company”) and a stockholder entered into a settlement agreement and release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Marshall Ryan (“Ryan”) and a company related to Ryan (together, the “Plaintiffs”). The settlement relates to a previously disclosed lawsuit by the Plaintiffs initiated in March 2014. Ryan is an engineer who previously worked with the Company on design of certain of the Company’s products. The lawsuit alleged among other things, breach of a 2008 consulting agreement, a 2006 manufacturing agreement and a 2006 supply agreement among the Plaintiffs and the Company, various claims of fraud and negligent misrepresentation, and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing.

 

Under the Settlement Agreement, the parties have agreed that the lawsuit will be dismissed. The Company has agreed to pay Ryan an aggregate of $500,000 in various cash installments through April 25, 2015, which amount includes $200,000 in installments that are payable during the remainder of 2014. The Settlement Agreement, among other things, extinguishes any prior claims of Plaintiffs for royalties or other alleged rights to payments under their prior agreements with the Company. Payment of the outstanding balance under the Settlement Agreement will be accelerated if the Company raises $2 million or more of gross dollars in a single funding round or raises aggregate funding of $4 million of gross dollars on or before April 10, 2015. If the Company defaults on the required cash payments and fails to cure as provided in the Settlement Agreement, then Ryan will have the option to either sue Skyline to enforce the Settlement Agreement or rescind the Settlement Agreement, including returning all payments previously made thereunder.

 

The Settlement Agreement also contains mutual releases covering claims other than a breach of the Settlement Agreement. In the Settlement Agreement, Ryan fully, unconditionally and irrevocably affirms and ratifies the Company’s rights to Ryan’s prior patent assignments, and disclaims any right, title or interest in the Company’s Streamway product including any rights to royalties both past and future. In addition, the parties confirmed that the patents related to the Streamway product belong exclusively to Skyline and remain in full force and effect. 

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the reader should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 with the exception of the amendment and replacement of the first risk factor below.

 

We will require additional financing to sustain our operations, and if adequate financing is not available, we may be forced to go out of business. Such financing will be dilutive and feature restricted terms. Our independent public accounting firm has indicated in their audit opinion, contained in our financial statements, that they have serious doubts about our ability to remain a going concern.

 

37
 

  

We have never generated sufficient revenues to fund our capital requirements. We have funded our operations through a variety of debt and equity instruments. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Historical Financing” below. Our future cash requirements and the adequacy of available funds depend on our ability to sell our products. See “Plan of Financing; Going Concern Qualification” below.

  

In February 2014, we raised $2.0 million in gross proceeds from our private placement of convertible preferred stock and warrants.  In July, August and September 2014, we sold convertible notes and warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $1.475 million.

 

We expect that we will need further equity financing to maintain our operations, including further sales of convertible notes and warrants and possibly other financing. If such financing is available, it may be highly dilutive to our existing shareholders and may otherwise include burdensome or onerous terms. Our inability to raise additional working capital at all or to raise it in a timely manner would negatively impact our ability to fund our operations, to generate revenues, and to otherwise execute our business plan, leading to the reduction or suspension of our operations and ultimately forcing us to declare bankruptcy, reorganize or to go out of business.  Should this occur, the value of any investment in our securities could be adversely affected, and an investor would likely lose all or a significant portion of their investment. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Based on our current operating plan we believe that we have sufficient cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances to last approximately through November 30, 2014 after which additional financing will be needed to continue to satisfy our obligations. While holders of our warrants could exercise and provide cash to us during that time frame, we are not depending on that in our fundraising efforts. We commenced sales of our enhanced STREAMWAY in the first quarter of 2014. Sales of this product are expected to provide additional operating revenues and cash balances that could reduce the need for additional fundraising; however, cash collections for product sales are not immediate, which may result in a delay in positive operating cash flows over the next several quarters.

 

As a result of the above factors, our independent registered public accountant firm has indicated in their audit opinion, contained in our financial statements included our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, that they have serious doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements in the Form 10-K and in this Form 10-Q report have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

The following is a summary of our transactions since January 1, 2014 involving sales of our securities that were not registered under the Securities Act:

 

In January 2014 a warrant holder opted for a cashless warrant exercise resulting in issuing 1,729 shares of common stock pursuant to the warrant instruction for cashless exercise.

38
 

 

In February 2014 the Company issued 1,334 shares of common stock at $17.25 per share to a vendor as part of a contract for investor relations consulting.

 

In February 2014, as a result of completing payments for the first of three years pursuant to a settlement agreement, 13,334 shares of common stock held in escrow was canceled and reissued for 8,889 shares. The shares held in escrow will reduce by 4,445 shares in February 2015 and then again for the remaining 4,445 shares in February 2016 as the settlement is paid without default.

 

In February 2014, we raised $2,055,000 in gross proceeds from a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Preferred Shares”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors (the “Purchasers”) who purchased 20,550 Preferred Shares, and warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate of approximately 21,538 shares of Common Stock. The Preferred Shares were initially convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $19.50 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment. The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $24.38 per share and expire five years from the Closing Date. If the Common Stock is not listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE MKT within 180 days of the Closing, the Company was required to issue additional Warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, equal to 30% of the shares of Common Stock which the Preferred Shares each Purchaser purchased are convertible into. As of August 4, 2014, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase 61,542 shares to the Purchasers in connection with this provision.

 

In March 2014 four warrant holders opted for a cashless warrant exercise resulting in issuing 8,216 shares of common stock pursuant to the warrant instruction for cashless exercise.

 

In April 2014, SOK Partners transferred 20,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01, to six shareholders. Frank Mancuso is an affiliate of the Company currently serving on the Board of Directors, and Arnon Dreyfuss was an affiliate of the Company who resigned from the Board of Directors on October 1, 2014. Mr. Mancuso received 3,334 shares and Dr. Dreyfuss received 6,667 shares.

  

In May 2014, the Company issued 2,134 shares of common stock at $11.25 per share to a vendor as part of a contract for investor relations consulting.

 

In May 2014, the Company issued 1,334 shares of common stock at $18.75 per share to a vendor as part of a contract for investor relations consulting.

 

In May 2014, a warrant holder opted for a cashless warrant exercise resulting in issuing 3,725 shares of common stock pursuant to the warrant instruction for cashless exercise.

 

In July 2014, a warrant holder opted for a cashless warrant exercise resulting in issuing 1,411 shares of common stock pursuant to the warrant instruction for cashless exercise. The warrant holder notified the Company at the close of the second quarter that the original warrant had been lost in a fire. The warrant holder wanted to exercise his warrant but needed a replacement warrant to do so. The Company had already reported that the warrant had expired at the end of the second quarter. The Company issued a replacement warrant early in the third quarter and the warrant holder immediately opted for a cashless exercise.

 

In July, August and September 2014, the Company sold convertible notes and warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $1.475 million. The convertible notes originally had an aggregate principal amount of $1.802 million, which was reduced to $1.603 million in the aggregate on September 9, 2014 as a result of the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement. The warrants were originally for 81,465 shares, subsequently reduced to 71,257 shares, at an exercise price of $12.38 per share.

 

In August 2014, a warrant holder exercised his warrant resulting in issuing 11,112 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.63 per share for $62,500.

 

In August 2014 a vendor exercised a portion of options received in payment for executive placement. He received 334 shares of common stock at $5.25 per share.

 

In October 2014, SOK Partners, LLC transferred 138,977 shares of Skyline Medical common stock to Prospect Park Capital Corp. a non-affiliated company. There are two Directors, Joshua Kornberg and Frank Mancuso, Jr., on the Board of Prospect Park Capital Corp. that are also Directors on the Board of Skyline Medical Inc. Mr. Kornberg is also CEO and President of Skyline Medical Inc.

 

Unless otherwise specified above, the Company believes that all of the above transactions were transactions not involving any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, since (a) each of the transactions involved the offering of such securities to a substantially limited number of persons; (b) each person took the securities as an investment for his/her/its own account and not with a view to distribution; (c) each person had access to information equivalent to that which would be included in a registration statement on the applicable form under the Securities Act; and (d) each person had knowledge and experience in business and financial matters to understand the merits and risk of the investment; therefore no registration statement needed to be in effect prior to such issuances.
