(Unaudited)


1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared by Assured Pharmacy, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting.  These consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary for a fair statement for the periods presented.  The year-end consolidated data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
 
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A on April 25, 2014.
 
Going Concern Considerations

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $51.2 million and, recurring losses from operations. The Company also had negative working capital of approximately $6.0 million and debt with maturities within one year in the amount of approximately $4.8 million as of September 30, 2014.

As described in Note 14, Subsequent Events, the Company filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court.   On April 14, 2015, we received an order approving Disclosure Statement, on a final basis, and confirming Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas Sherman Division.
 
On March 27, 2015, the Company filed a Form 15-12G Certification of Termination of Registration with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to voluntary discontinue  public company reporting.  The Company made the election as a cost reduction measure and to facilitate the equity sale of the Company.
 
On April 16, 2015, the Company completed the equity sale of 100 % of the post bankruptcy common stock to Precise Analytical, LLC ., in accordance with the  terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement and as a result of the transaction became a private company.
 
2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
 

 

 

 
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions involved include the collectability of accounts receivable, accounting for stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments, convertible debt issuances, the valuation of the deferred tax asset, inventory, warrant liability and long-lived assets valuation.  Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in a highly competitive industry that is subject to intense competition.  On April 14, 2015, we received an order approving Disclosure Statement, on a final basis, and confirming Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas Sherman Division as described in Note 14, Subsequent Events.
 
On April 16, 2015, the Company completed the equity sale of 100 % of the post bankruptcy common stock to Precise Analytical, LLC ., in accordance with the  terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement and as a result of the transaction became a private company.
 
The Company may be subject to the risk of delays in obtaining (or failing to obtain) regulatory clearance and other uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks associated with an emerging business, including the risk of business failure.

The Company’s pharmacies are subject to licensing and regulation by the health, sanitation, safety, building and fire agencies in the state or municipality where located. Difficulties or failures in obtaining or maintaining the required licensing and/or approvals could prevent the continued operations of such pharmacies. Management believes that the Company is operating in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
 
Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from prescriptions dispensed on an accrual basis when the product is delivered to or picked up by the customer. Payments are received directly from the customer at the point of sale, or the customers’ insurance provider is billed electronically. For third party medical insurance and other claims, authorization to ensure payment is obtained from the customer’s insurance provider before the medication is dispensed to the customer. Authorization is obtained for these sales electronically and a corresponding authorization number is issued by the customers’ insurance provider.
 
Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations include our Gresham and Riverside pharmacies that were closed in August 2013 due to our Company’s financial condition. Management considered several factors in determining which two pharmacies to close, including historical financial performance, regulatory costs, current sales prospects, geographic and physical location and strength of existing physician relationships.  After consideration of these factors, management closed our Gresham and Riverside pharmacies.  These closures met the discontinued operations criteria and, accordingly, are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

The Company’s accounts receivable consist of amounts due from third party medical insurance carriers, pharmacy benefit management companies, patients and credit card processors. Management periodically reviews the accounts receivable to assess collectability and estimate potential doubtful accounts.  Accounts receivable are written-off after collection efforts have been completed in accordance with the Company’s policies.  The doubtful accounts allowance reduces the carrying value of the account receivable.
 
 

 
 
 

 

In March 2014, the Company entered into a $600,000 Non-Disclosable Revolving Line of Credit Loan with Third Coast Bank SSB due on March 25, 2015.  The loan is not subject to an interest rate, but is subject to service charges based on the amount of funds advanced.  The credit facility allows for the sale of receivables at collectible value less a 10% reserve to be maintained based on the outstanding balance of receivables sold. The loan is secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and is guaranteed by Pinewood Trading Fund, LP, a related party.  The Company recorded the sale of the accounts receivable by reducing the accounts receivable for the accounts receivable sold with recourse, net of the 10% reserve required.

In June 2014, the Company entered into a modification of the $600,000 Non-Disclosable Revolving Line of Credit due March 25, 2015 whereby the Revolving Line of Credit was increased to $1,200,000 and the maturity date was extended to June 5, 2015.

The Company’s accounts receivables are detailed as follows:

The provision for bad debts for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $20,773 and $7,992, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company issues options and restricted shares of common stock to employees and consultants.  Stock option and restricted share awards are granted at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The Company records all share-based payments at fair value. The total applicable compensation cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized $195,541 and $540,872, respectively, in compensation expense which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 financial statement presentation.  The reclassifications did not affect net loss attributable to the Company, cash flows, assets, liabilities or equity for the periods presented.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share

The Company computes loss per common share using Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260 “Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as stock options and warrants to issue common stock, were exercised or converted into common stock. Because the Company has incurred net losses and there are no dilutive potential common shares, basic and diluted loss per common share are the same.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exist, which is included in ASC Topic 740 (Income Taxes).  ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to net its liability for unrecognized tax positions against a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law.  The provisions of this new guidance are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013.  The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our statement of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”) which amended the FASB’s guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity under Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 250-20. The guidance as amended by ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation by requiring that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale be reported as such. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements regarding the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of discontinued operations and add new disclosure requirements for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim reporting periods within those years (early adoption is permitted only for disposals that have not been previously reported). The implementation of the amended guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This ASU further clarified that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. ASU 2014-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3.     FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company measures certain financial liabilities (warrant liability, forward contract liability and derivative liabilities) at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company follows a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1     Measurements are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2     Measurements are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3     Measurements are unobservable inputs.

Management believes that the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their fair values at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, due to their short-term nature.

Management also believes that the September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 interest rates associated with the notes payable approximates the market interest rates for these types of debt instruments and as such, the carrying amount of the notes payable approximates their fair value.

Common Stock Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for its common stock warrants under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” which requires any financial instrument, other than an outstanding share, that, at inception, embodies an obligation to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares, or is indexed to such an obligation, and it requires or may require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets, would qualify for classification as a liability. The guidance required the Company’s outstanding warrants from private placements to be classified as liabilities and to be fair valued at each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recognized as a change in fair value of warranty liability in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Specifically, the warrants issued in connection with private placements grant the warrant holder certain anti-dilution protection providing exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price per share.  Upon exercise or expiration of the warrants, the fair value of the warrant at that time will be reclassified to equity from a liability.  The following table is a summary of the warrant liability activity measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs:

Forward contracts

As part of our 2013 private placement of common stock, the Company also agreed that the 38,462 shares of common stock included in the units are subject to increase and the $0.65 per share value is subject to decrease, in each case based on the level of the Company’s consolidated net revenues derived during our 2013 fiscal year (the “Make-Whole Adjustments”) (see Note 6 Common Stock for further details).  The Company separately valued the forward contracts using Level 3 inputs.  The fair value of the forward contracts of $115,767 was recorded as a liability and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013.   The following table is a summary of the forward contract liability activity measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs:

Derivative Liability

The derivative liability relates to the conversion feature into common stock at an initial rate of 2,000 common shares for each share of Series D Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment for certain anti-dilution protection and provides exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price per share (see Note 5 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock for further details).  Management analyzed the terms of the conversion option and concluded that the conversion feature was derivative since it met the definition of a derivative and did not qualify for any of the exceptions. The Company therefore separately valued the derivative contracts using Level 3 inputs.  The fair value of the derivatives was recorded as a derivative liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.   The following table is a summary of the derivative liability activity measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs:

Unsecured Convertible Debentures

The Company completed various sales through private placements of senior convertible debentures to accredited investors.  The debentures were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.26 per share on an as converted basis, subject to adjustment.  A consent and waiver was obtained from the majority of the Series A and C Preferred holders and a waiver was obtained from a majority of the Series B Preferred holders as required in the certificate of designation.  From September 2012 through February 2013, the investors in our 2011 private placements consented to a partial anti-dilution adjustment in conversion price to $0.90 per share in the event of the minimum offering being achieved in a private placement of common stock and warrants.  In February 2013, the minimum offering was achieved resulting in an adjusted conversion price of $0.90 per share for a total of 2,072,654 common shares on an as converted basis, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits and related distributions

As part of the private placements, the investors received warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.  The warrants were initially exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $1.512, subject to adjustment (see Note 6 Stock Warrants for further details). The investor may exercise the warrant on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrant are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement.  The outstanding warrants are subject to certain anti-dilution protection clauses which provide exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price per share.  Accordingly, the fair value of the stock warrants is classified as a warrant liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

As of September 30, 2014, we had the following unsecured convertible debentures outstanding to the following:

HCI

The Company issued an aggregate total of $1,000,000 in senior convertible debentures to Hillair Capital Investment, Inc. (“HCI”) during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  As of December 31, 2013, the debentures and related interest were past due.  In February 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated 10% Senior Convertible Debenture due June 30, 2016 with HCI in the amount of $1,150,000. The amendment relates to convertible debentures with an aggregate total of $1,000,000 originally issued on May 16, 2011, August 22, 2011, November 30, 2011 and July 19, 2012.  In addition to the extension of the maturity date, the interest rate was reduced from 16% to 10% per annum, and the conversion price was decreased from $0.90 to $0.75. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to increase the principal amount of the debenture by $150,000, which represents eighteen months of interest due at the stated rate of 10% per annum.  As a result, all interest accruable and payable between February 7, 2014 and August 8, 2015 is considered paid in full and satisfied.  In addition, the Company issued 420,694 shares of common stock as payment of accrued interest of $252,417 at a rate of $0.60 per share.  Further interest will not begin accruing until August 8, 2015.  As part of the amendment, the exercise price of the related warrants was reduced from $0.90 to $0.75 resulting in the issuance of an additional 320,000 warrants per the warrant agreement terms.
 
Since the Company is experiencing financial difficulties and the debenture holder has granted a concession, the transaction met the requirement for troubled debt accounting treatment.  Management compared the value of the accrued interest to the fair value of the common stock resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $213,433 or $0.09 per common share.

AQR & CNH

In August 2011, the Company issued an aggregate total of $300,000 in senior convertible debentures to AQR Opportunistic Premium Offshore Fund, LP (“AQR”) and CNH Diversified Opportunities Master Account, LP (“CNH”).  Due to our current condition, we did not make the periodic redemption payments of $75,000 due on June 1, 2012 and September 1, 2012 and the final payment due of $150,000 on or before December 1, 2012.  Upon issuance of a notice of default, amounts owed become immediately payable to the debenture holder.  The debenture holders issued a notice of default relating to our failure to make the periodic redemption payments on June 1, 2012 or September 1, 2012 and the final payment of $150,000 due on December 1, 2012.  In August 2013, the two holders filed a lawsuit against the Company for payment of past due amounts (See Note 9 Legal Matters for further details).  In March 2014, the issuance of warrants to Series D Preferred Stockholders as part of the milestone provision with an effective conversion price of $0.40 per share qualified as a dilutive issuance per the terms of the convertible debenture.  No waivers were obtained from AQR and CNH.  The anti-dilution adjustment reduced the conversion price from $0.50 to $0.40 per share.  The amounts due on the debentures are classified as current at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
  
Coventry
 
On December 6, 2013, the Company settled a lawsuit with Coventry Enterprises, LLC (“Coventry”), a holder of $200,000 in convertible debentures issued in 2011.  The Company owes Coventry a total of $280,679, which includes unpaid principal of $200,000, unpaid interest of $53,679 and unreimbursed attorney’s fees and costs of $27,000.  The Company must pay Coventry $280,679, plus interest at the rate of 16% per annum on the following schedule:

a)    
$50,000 payable on or before December 6, 2013; and
b)    
$10,000 payable on or before the first day of each month starting January 1, 2014 and continuing thereafter until the obligation is paid.

Based on the payment terms above, the obligation will be paid in full on Apri1 1, 2016. In March 2014, the issuance of warrants to Series D Preferred Stockholders as part of the milestone provision with an effective conversion price of $0.40 per share qualified as a dilutive issuance under the terms of the Coventry convertible debentures.  No waivers were obtained from Coventry.  The anti-dilution adjustment reduced the conversion price on the Coventry debentures from $0.50 to $0.40 per share.  The Company made the required payment in accordance with the settlement agreement through September 30, 2014.
 
Interest expense related to the unsecured convertible debentures for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $205,778 and $658,893, respectively.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 included $156,056 and $364,730 at the stated rate, $45,237 and $264,648 in amortization of debt discount and $4,485 and $29,515 in amortization of deferred financing cost, respectively.  The effective interest rate on convertible debentures was calculated as 17% and 29.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of September 30, 2014, the outstanding balance on all unsecured convertible debentures, net of discounts was $1,493,844 with $400,582 classified as current.  The outstanding debentures are convertible into an aggregate total of 2,698,682 common shares.
 
As a result of the transaction with Precise Analytical, LLC. on April 16, 2015, the outstanding balances on the unsecured convertible debentures will be paid in full in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, as described in Note 14, Subsequent Events.
 
Secured Debt

In February 2013, the Company entered into a secured loan agreement with our primary wholesaler. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company received a one-year loan of $3,828,527 with an interest rate of 6.25% per annum, and interest payable monthly. Monthly payment requirements were $27,000 per month for four consecutive months, followed by four consecutive monthly payments of $37,000, followed by three consecutive monthly payments of $42,000, with remaining principal and interest due February 1, 2014. The proceeds from the note were simultaneously exchanged for $3,534,793 in outstanding vendor invoices and $293,734 in a secured note payable with the same primary wholesaler. The note is secured by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries through UCC-1 filings.  As part of the agreement, the Company is required to make a minimum of $500,000 in purchases each month.  The secured loan was subsequently extended with monthly payment requirements of $42,000, with remaining principal and interest due February 1, 2016.
 
In August 2014, we entered into an amended promissory note agreement with H.D. Smith in the amount of $4,027,666, which includes the outstanding principal of $3,804,111 plus accrued but unpaid interest of $223,555. The note bears an annual interest rate of 6.25% payable monthly and matures on March 1, 2016. As part of the agreement the Company is required to make monthly payments by the 25th of each month based on agreed upon EBITDA milestones with the remaining principal and interest payable on March 1, 2016.

As of September 30, 2014, the outstanding principal balance on the note was $4,027,666. Due to our financial condition, we have been unable to make the required monthly payments under the agreement beginning in September 2014 through April 2015.
 
On April 21, 2015, the outstanding balance on the secured note was paid in full in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, as described in Note 14, Subsequent Events.
 
Revolving Credit Facilities

Brockington Securities, Inc. - Revolver
 
In March 2009, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement with Brockington Securities, Inc., a related party, with a credit limit of $300,000, a term of one year and interest of 12% per annum. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company could request advanced payments from time to time, provided, however, that any requested advance will not, when added to the outstanding principal advanced of all previous advances, exceed the credit limit. The Company can repay accrued interest and principal at any time.  There are no financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain.

The agreement has been subsequently extended.  The latest extension occurred on December 23, 2013, in which the maturity date of the loan was extended to August 30, 2016 by mutual consent.  On November 12, 2012, pursuant to an Amendment Agreement, the credit limit was increased to $500,000.  All additional terms of the loan remain unchanged.

In May 2014, pursuant to another Amendment Agreement the credit limit was increased to $600,000.

As of September 30, 2014, the outstanding balance on the Brockington Securities, Inc. revolving line of credit was $557,000.
 
As a result of the transaction with Precise Analytical, LLC. on April 16,  2015, the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit will be paid in full in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, as described in Note 14, Subsequent Events.

5.  REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

On September 1, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Pinewood Trading Fund, LP, (“Pinewood”) an existing shareholder and related party, to purchase up to 3,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share.

In November 2013, the Company designated 15,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series D.  The Series D Preferred shares rank senior to the Series A, Series C and Series B Preferred, which all rank senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to the payment of any dividends and amounts upon liquidation or dissolution.

Pinewood must approve certain corporate actions of the Company, regardless of the total Common Stock votes for or against such actions. Such actions include, but are not limited to: any increase or decrease in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock; the delisting of any of the Company’s securities from the OTCQB or any national securities exchange; any redemption or repurchase of the Company’s Common or Preferred Stock; any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the business and affairs of the Company; any material modification or deviation from the Company’s annual business plan and operating budget; any payment or declaration of a dividend or other distribution on any shares of Common or Preferred Stock made by the Board of Directors; and any change in the principal business of the Company. In addition to the foregoing, holders of the Series D Preferred Stock have the right to elect one director of the Company so long as at least 35% of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.  Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In addition, Pinewood may, but is not obligated to, nominate one Director to add to the Company’s existing Board currently comprised of four people (for a total of five directors).  The Company is further restricted, precluded, and prohibited from increasing the number of directors beyond four (or five should Pinewood elect to nominate a director) without the consent of Pinewood.  This gives Pinewood the ability, at its sole discretion, without restriction or notice, to install a board member at any time, subject to applicable law and the Company’s charter document.

Preferred Stock Private Placements
For each share of Series D Preferred Stock purchased, the Company issued one Series A Warrant to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable for 5 years and one Series B Warrant to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock, exercisable for 5 years.

In November 2013, the Company issued 800 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to Pinewood Trading Fund, LP, a related party, for $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $800,000. Pinewood also received 800 Series A Warrants and 800 Series B Warrants.
 
In December 2013, the Company issued 200 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to Pinewood Trading Fund, LP, a related party for $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. Pinewood also received 200 Series A Warrants and 200 Series B Warrants.

In December 2013, the Company issued 20 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to Craig Eagle, a director of the Company, for $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000. Craig Eagles also received 20 Series A Warrants and 20 Series B Warrants.

In December 2013, the Company issued 50 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to an existing investor for $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. The investor also received 50 Series A Warrants and 50 Series B Warrants.

In July 2014 through September 2014, the Company issued an aggregate total of 340 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to investors for $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $340,000 which includes 30 shares of Series D Preferred Stock purchased by Sageborne, LLC, an affiliate of Pinewood for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000. For each share of Series D Preferred Stock purchased, an investor received one Series A Warrant and one Series B Warrant.

As part of the private placements, the investors received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.50, subject to adjustment.  The investor may exercise the warrant on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrant are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement.  The outstanding warrants are subject to certain anti-dilution protection clauses which provide exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price per share.  Accordingly, the stock warrants are classified as a warrant liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Securities Purchase Agreements (“SPA”) for the purchase of Series D Preferred Stock contain a Milestone Adjustment provision.   If by March 1, 2014, the Company’s income, on a Special Adjustment Basis (“SAB”) for the period beginning on January 1, 2014 and ending on February 28, 2014 (the “Measurement Period”) is not positive, then the Company will immediately issue (after the cash-flow on SAB calculation is final) 2,400 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to Investors, pro-rata based on their ownership of Series D Preferred Stock. For each share of Series D Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Milestone Adjustment provision, one Series A Warrant and one Series B Warrant will be issued and the exercise price of all warrants then held by the Investors (including the Warrants and any previously issued warrants of the Company then held by Investors) shall be reduced to $0.40, such price shall be subject to adjustment for issuances or circumstances following the Closing Date that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the exercise price of any such warrant.
 
 
 

 
 
- 16 -


 
 

 
 In addition, if the Milestone Adjustment is required, Pinewood shall be entitled thereafter to elect a majority of the Board of Directors, to be accomplished in any manner that Pinewood deems most expedient and in compliance with applicable laws and the Company’s charter documents. The SAB shall be based on the trailing two month net income of the Company, excluding stock-based compensation and non-cash other (non-operating) expenses.  The Milestone Adjustment feature is not free standing from the Series D Preferred Stock and will not be separately classified from the preferred security.  The fair value of the Milestone Adjustment will be recorded if the Milestone Adjustment is required.

In March 2014, the Company did not meet the requirements of the Milestone Provision of reaching positive net income on a Special Adjusted Basis (“SAB”) for the trailing two months ending February 2014.  As a result, the Company issued an additional 856 shares of Series D Preferred stock and additional 3,424,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $0.40 to the Series D Preferred stockholders.  In addition, the exercise price on warrants to purchase an aggregate total of 4,280,000 common shares has been reduced to $0.40 per share.  Pinewood is also entitled to elect a majority of the Board of Directors, to be accomplished in any manner that it deems most expedient and in compliance with applicable laws and the Company’s charter documents.  The Company recorded a $662,057 Milestone Adjustment for preferred stock, which is a deemed dividend distribution for accounting purposes.

The Series D Preferred Stock SPAs also contain a mandatory redemption provision. If, as of January 1, 2016: (i) the Common Stock has traded on the 20 trading days prior to January 1, 2016 at an average closing price of less than $1.00; or (ii) the Common Stock has had during the 30 trading days prior to January 1, 2016 an average daily trading volume of less than 70,000 shares, then the Company shall immediately, to the extent it may lawfully do so, redeem all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $2,000 per share, plus a cumulative preference of 8% per annum compounded annually. Such redemption shall have preference over redemption of any other class of shares.

If the mandatory redemption does not occur within 10 business days, then payments to the Convertible Debt holders shall be subordinated, pursuant to that certain Subordination Agreement executed by the Convertible Debt holders, until the shares of Series D Preferred Stock are redeemed.  If the mandatory redemption does not occur within 60 business days, Pinewood shall have the right to elect a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, and may seek a sale of the Company, subject to the determination of the Board of Directors.
 
Failure to immediately redeem the Series D Preferred shares will, at Pinewood’s election, result in the Company immediately issuing to Pinewood an additional (i) 2,400 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and (ii) for each share of Series D Preferred Stock issued above, one Series A Warrant and one Series B Warrant, and the exercise price of all warrants then held by Pinewood (including the Warrants and any previously issued warrants of the Company then held by Investor) shall be reduced to $0.10 (such price shall be subject to adjustment for issuances of circumstances following the Closing that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the exercise price of any such warrant).

The mandatory redemption feature is not freestanding from the Series D Preferred Stock and will not be separately classified from the preferred security.  Since the mandatory redemption is conditioned upon the Company’s stock price and volume which are not solely within the control of the issuer and the price and date are fixed, the Series D Preferred are classified as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  Management analyzed the terms of the mandatory redemption feature and evaluated whether it was probable that the instruments will become redeemable and concluded that it was probable that the instruments will become redeemable.  Management elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusted the redemption value as if it were also the redemption date for the instrument.  As a result, management increased the carrying value of the preferred instrument by $2,192,588 and $555,585 for the redemption feature on the Series D Preferred Stock in the year ended December 31, 2013 and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.  The redemption feature on the Series D Preferred Stock is a deemed dividend distribution for accounting purposes.

The Series D Preferred stock includes a conversion feature in which each share of Series D Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Management analyzed the terms of the conversion option and concluded that the conversion feature was derivative since it met the definition of a derivative and did not qualify for any of the exceptions. The initial aggregate fair value of the derivatives was determined to be $238,171 and $34,144, for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, which was recorded as a derivative liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013 (See Note 3 Derivative Liability for further details).
  
The Company allocated the proceeds of these preferred issuances, by first allocating the proceeds to warrant liability and derivative liability based on fair value and then allocated the remaining residual proceeds, net of closing costs to the preferred stock security.

As of September 30, 2014, a total of 2,266 Series D Shares had been issued, which is convertible into 4,532,000 shares of common stock.  As a result of the transaction with Precise Analytical, LLC. on April 16, 2015, all of the Series D Preferred shares were cancelled and the Series D preferred holders will receive  distributions in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization as described in Note 14, Subsequent Events.

6.  EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

Convertible Preferred Stock Series – A, B & C

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with 2,830 shares designated as Series A Preferred and 7,745 shares designated as Series B Preferred and 813 shares designated as Series C Preferred.
 
The Series A Preferred and Series C Preferred rank senior to the Series B Preferred, which ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to the payment of any dividends and amounts upon liquidation or dissolution. Except as required by law, the shares of preferred stock shall be voted together with the shares of common stock and not as a separate class.  In addition, so long as 35% of the aggregate amount of the shares of Series A Preferred and Series C Preferred are outstanding, the holders of the outstanding shares voting together as a separate class are entitled to elect up to four directors to the Board and separately vote on a number of defined material actions typically requiring Board approval. Respectively, holders of shares of Series A, B and C Preferred have anti-dilution protections for sale of stock below conversion rate and stock splits and other similar events.

Series A and Series B

In June 2009, in a private placement pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated February 9, 2009, with Mosaic (“MFS”), a related party (see Note 8 for further details), the Company agreed to sell 1,330 shares of its Series A Preferred and common stock purchase warrants to purchase 1,083,334 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 million, of which $750,000 was paid by the cancellation of secured indebtedness of the Company owed to MFS, with the remaining $580,000 to be paid in cash.   As a condition of closing of this transaction, the outstanding principal balance related to Short Term Notes and Unsecured Debentures of $7.7 million was exchanged for 7,720 shares of Series B Preferred.  
 
As of September 30, 2014, the Company issued a total of 559 shares of Series A Preferred for $558,500 to Mosaic under the 2009 Securities Purchase Agreement. Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into 1,111 shares of common stock.  As of September 30, 2014, no shares of Series A Preferred issued to Mosaic have been converted into common stock.
 
Series C

In May 2010, we filed a Certificate of Designation to designate 813 shares of the Company’s Preferred stock as Series C Preferred. The rights of the Series C Preferred are identical to those of the Series A Preferred.   The Company issued 813 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred at a price of $1,000 per share to an existing vendor in exchange for extinguishment of $300,000 in vendor’s secured payable and additional consideration in the form of a modification in vendor terms that are favorable to the Company and additional debt financing at terms that are significantly below market.

Common Stock
 
In January 2014, in accordance with the Make-Whole provision in our 2013 private placement of our common stock, we issued 826,907 shares of common stock to the eight investors that participated in the private placement.  Our consolidated net revenues for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 were $7,463,113, which included $2,270,536 in revenues from discontinued operations.  Since the net revenues are below the Make-Whole Adjustment minimum threshold of $17,250,000, we were required to issue additional common stock in accordance with the agreement.  As a result of the transaction with Precise Analytical, LLC. on April 16, 2015, all of the Company’s common shares will be cancelled with no distribution to common shareholders in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization as described in Note 14, Subsequent Events.

Stock Warrants

From 2009-2013, the Company issued common stock warrants to investors and placement agents in private placements of convertible debentures, common stock and preferred stock. The outstanding warrants contain certain anti-dilution protection clauses which provide exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalent is issued at an effective per share price that is less than the exercise price per share.  Accordingly, the stock warrants are classified as a warrant liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 

The estimated fair value of these warrants was determined using a lattice stock option pricing model on the issuance date, assuming that there will be no dividends, using the applicable exercisable periods, a risk-free interest rate, and an expected volatility.  

In February 2014, an additional 320,000 warrants were issued to HCI, a holder of 1,600,007 warrants as part of the modification and extension transaction (See Note 4 HCI for further details).

In March 2014, the Company did not meet the requirements of the Milestone Provision of the Series D Preferred Stock which required the Company reaching positive net income on a Special Adjusted Basis (“SAB”) for the trailing two months ending February 2014.  As a result, the Company issued an additional 3,424,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $0.40 to the Series D Preferred stockholders.  In addition, the exercise price on warrants to purchase an aggregate total of 4,280,000 common shares was been reduced to $0.40 per share.  

In March 2014, the issuance of warrants to Series D Preferred stockholders with an effective exercise price of $0.40 per share qualified as a dilutive issuance under the terms of the warrant.  (See Note 5 Preferred Stock Private Placements for further details). No waivers to make the dilutive issuance were obtained from three debenture holders that hold a total of 1,440,004 warrants.  The anti-dilution adjustment reduces the exercise price of the existing warrants from $0.50 to $0.40 and requires the issuance of an additional 360,001 warrants to the three investors.

In March 2014, the issuance of warrants to Series D Preferred stockholders with an effective exercise price of $0.40 per share qualified as a dilutive issuance per the terms of the warrant.  (See Note 5 Preferred Stock Private Placements for further details). No waivers to make the dilutive issuance were obtained from the eleven warrant holders that participated in our 2013 private placement of common stock and hold an aggregate 2,538,000 warrants.  The anti-dilution adjustment reduces the exercise price of the existing warrants from $0.50 to $0.40 and requires the issuance of an additional 634,502 warrants to the eight investors and three placement agents.

From July 2014 through September 2014, the Company issued a total of 340 Series A warrants, which are exercisable into 680,000 common shares and a total of 340 Series B warrants, which are exercisable into 680,000 common shares.  Each warrant has a term of five years and may be exercised at an initial exercise price of $0.50 per warrant share; such exercise price is subject to certain weighted average and other anti-dilution adjustments as provided in the terms of the warrant.  The Series A Warrants may only be exercised for cash. The Series B Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis at the investor’s election.

The estimated fair value of these warrants was determined to be $68,289 using the Lattice stock option pricing model on the issuance date, assuming that there will be no dividends, using the applicable exercisable periods, a risk-free rate of return range of 1.6% -1.8%, and an expected stock volatility range of 69.7% to  71.9%. The outstanding warrants are subject certain anti-dilution protection clauses which provide exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective per share price that is less than the per share exercise price.   Accordingly, the stock warrants are classified as a warrant liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014.

Expected Stock Volatility

Volatility is a measure of the tendency of investment returns to vary around a long-term average rate. Historical volatility is an appropriate starting point for setting this assumption. Companies should also consider how future experience may differ from the past. This may require using other factors to adjust historical volatility, such as implied volatility, peer-group volatility and the range and mean-reversion of volatility estimates over various historical periods. The peer-group utilized consisted of six companies in 2014 and in 2013, in the same or similar industries as the Company. In addition, if a best estimate cannot be made, management should use the mid-point in the range of reasonable estimates for volatility. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock in conjunction with the Company’s issuance of financing instruments and volatility is calculated utilizing the historical and estimated future volatility of the Company and its peer-group.
 
Risk-Free Rate of Return

The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option/warrant.
 
Expected Dividends

The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, it uses an expected dividend yield of zero.

Stock Options

In May 2012, we adopted the Assured Pharmacy, Inc. 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2012 Incentive Plan”). The 2012 Incentive Plan is intended to provide incentives that will attract and retain the best available directors, employees and appropriate third parties who can provide us with valuable services.  These purposes may be achieved through the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and phantom stock awards.

The 2012 Incentive Plan permits the grant of awards for up to 1,667,667 shares of common stock, subject to limitations on the number of shares that may issued pursuant to incentive stock options, the number shares awarded to any individual in a single year and on the number of shares issuable upon certain performance-based awards, within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Awards may vest, over time, upon the occurrence of one or more events or by the satisfaction of performance criteria, or any combination. To the extent that awards are performance based, they may be based on one or more criteria, including (without limitation) earnings, cash flow, revenues, operating income, capital reissues, or other quantifiable company, customer satisfaction or market data, or any combination. In addition to common stock, awards may also be made in similar securities whose value is derived from our common stock. 

Awards with respect to which grant, vesting, exercisability or payment depend on the achievement of performance goals and awards that are options or stock appreciation rights granted to officers and employees will be intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The 2012 Incentive Plan will be administered by the board of directors.
 
On July 15, 2014, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate 1,075,000 common shares to key employees under the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan.

9.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

Providing pharmacy services entails an inherent risk of medical and professional malpractice liability. From time to time, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits, and disputes with third parties, actions involving allegations of discrimination or breach of contract actions incidental to the normal operations of the business.  The Company may be named as a defendant in such lawsuits and become subject to the attendant risk of substantial damage awards. The Company believes it possesses adequate professional and medical malpractice liability insurance coverage. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be sued, that any such lawsuit will not exceed our insurance coverage, or that it will be able to maintain such coverage at acceptable costs and on favorable terms.
 
On March 18, 2011, a lawsuit was filed by Tim Chandler, Jodi Marshall, Christie Garner, the Estate of Thomas Pike, Jr., and Angie Hernandez in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Multnomah County against Payette Clinics, P.C., Scott Pecora, Kelly Bell, Penny Steers and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Assured Pharmacies Northwest, Inc. and Assured Pharmacy Gresham, Inc. The lawsuit arose from allegations that nurse practitioners at Payette Clinics, P.C. prescribed the five plaintiffs controlled substances in amounts that were excessive under the appropriate medical standard of care.  Only one of the plaintiffs, Tim Chandler, brought claims against our subsidiaries.  Mr. Chandler’s claims against our subsidiaries were for negligence on the basis of allegations that our subsidiaries knew or had reason to know that the prescriptions fell below the standard of care applicable to the prescription of such controlled substances but nonetheless filled the prescriptions.  The plaintiffs, as a whole, submitted a prayer for $7,500,000 in damages.  Mr. Chandler only seeks “an amount to be proven at trial” for noneconomic damages and unnecessary expenses.  Management believes that the allegations against our subsidiaries are without merit and plans to vigorously defend this claim.  We have $2,000,000 in insurance coverage for claims relating to pharmacy negligence.  This lawsuit has been stayed as a result of a co-defendant in this lawsuit (Payette Clinics, P.C.) having filed for bankruptcy.  The bankruptcy has since been discharged and the automatic stay lifted.  The case recently came out of abatement and is set for a two-week trial beginning March 16, 2015.  The Company has denied any liability and is vigorously defending against this action.
 
On August 23, 2013, AQR Opportunistic Premium Offshore Fund, LP and CNH Diversified Opportunities Master Account, LP filed a lawsuit against Assured Pharmacy in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Plaintiffs submitted a Motion for Summary Judgment in Lieu of Complaint against defendants to recover money allegedly owed by Assured Pharmacy, Inc. under two 16% Convertible Debentures totaling $300,000 issued in and around 2011 in a private placement. On September 19, 2013, Assured removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. All scheduled briefing regarding Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment in Lieu of Complaint was fully submitted to the Court as of October 18, 2013, and the parties are currently awaiting a decision and Order. Assured plans to vigorously defend against Plaintiffs’ claims. On March 4, 2015, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and General Release whereby the Company agreed to pay the debenture holders a total of $413,000 on or before May 1, 2015.

  
On December 16, 2013 a lawsuit was filed by Ann Raffaele, in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Multnomah County against Assured Pharmacy, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Assured Pharmacies Northwest, Inc. and Assured Pharmacy Gresham, Inc. The lawsuit arises from allegations of medical negligence by Dr. Edward Goering, D.O. and Assured Pharmacy.  The plaintiff submitted a prayer for $1,500,000 in damages.  Management believes that the allegations against the Company are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against this claim.  We have $2,000,000 in insurance coverage for claims relating to pharmacy negligence.  

On February 19, 2014, a lawsuit was filed by JS Barkats PLLC, in the Supreme Court of The State of New York, County of New York against Assured Pharmacy, Inc. and Robert DelVecchio, our Chief Executive Officer.  The lawsuit arises from allegations of failing to remit legal fees due under written retainer agreements of $134,300 and failing to deliver 500,000 freely traded shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to one of the retainer agreements. Defendants filed a Verified Answer on March 21, 2014. On June 19, 2014, the parties entered into a Preliminary Conference Order setting the timing and sequence of discovery in the action. On March 5, 2015, Defendant Assured Pharmacy filed a chapter 11 petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division. On March 3, 2015, Defendants filed a Suggestion of Bankruptcy and Notice of Automatic Stay as against Defendant Assured Pharmacy. A Compliance Conference has been scheduled for April 9, 2015.   Subsequent to the filing of bankruptcy, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company filed a claim for indemnification with the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division for any and all personal liability pursuant to the articles of incorporation and the bylaws.  Upon filing, the remaining matter was removed from New York State Supreme Court to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on April 30, 2015.  The matter was them moved from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on May 5, 2015.  Management believes that the allegations against the Company are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against this claim.

12.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

As a result of our financial condition and inability to secure additional funding or significantly improve our liquidity position, management reevaluated its strategic plan.  Management developed and implemented a plan to scale back operations.  We could not support the working capital needs of four pharmacies, so management decided to close two pharmacies to reduce overall fixed pharmacy costs by 50% and concentrate our limited working capital on supporting the operations of the two remaining pharmacies that, we believe, have the best prospects. Management considered several factors in determining which two pharmacies to close, including historical financial performance, regulatory costs, current sales prospects, geographic and physical location and strength of existing physician relationships.  After consideration of these factors, management closed our Gresham, Oregon and Riverside, California pharmacies on August 5, 2013 and August 8, 2013, respectively.

We recorded approximately $743,317 in expenses related to the closing of the facilities, including lease costs, asset impairment and goodwill impairment during the year ended December 31, 2013.  These closures met the discontinued operations criteria and, accordingly, are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.  The Company’s loss from operations of discontinued pharmacies, net of tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively are detailed as follows:

13.     INCOME TAXES

Due to losses incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, there is no current provision for income taxes.
 
The utilization of some or all of the Company’s net operating losses may be restricted in the future by a significant change in ownership as defined under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, utilization of the Company’s California net operating losses for the years prior to 2008 may only be carried forward ten years under State law. The Company’s estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to management’s assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at that time, pursuant to ASC 740. ASC 740 requires a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. At January 1, 2007, (adoption date), and at September 30, 2014, there were no unrecognized tax benefits.
 
The federal statute of limitations remains open for tax years 2010 through 2013. State jurisdictions generally have statutes of limitations ranging from three to five years. The Company is no longer subject to state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.
 
Any interest and penalties associated with tax positions taken by the Company would be recorded as a component of other expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no interest or penalties associated with tax positions taken by the Company.

On December 18, 2014, the Company issued $172,400 in convertible debentures due June 18, 2015 to Hillair Capital Investments, LP with an original conversion price of $1.00.  The debentures are convertible into 172,400 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
On February 6, 2015, we issued 600,000 shares of restricted common stock to Pinewood Trading Fund, LP, a related party, as consideration for the commercial guarantee on the Company’s accounts receivable revolving line of credit with Third Coast Bank.

On March 3, 2015, the Company issued $129,600 in convertible debentures due September 3, 2015 to Hillair Capital Investments, L.P. with an original conversion price of $1.00.  The debentures are convertible into a total of 129,600 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
On March 5, 2015 (“Petition Date”), Assured Pharmacy, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries Assured Pharmacy Management, Inc., Assured Pharmacy Dallas, Inc., Assured Pharmacy Boston, Inc., Assured Pharmacy Denver, Inc., Assured Pharmacies, Inc., Assured Pharmacy Gresham, Inc., Assured Pharmacy Kansas, Inc., Assured Pharmacies Northwest, Inc., and CS Compliance Group, Inc.,  (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) for reorganization relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Company has requested that the Chapter 11 cases be jointly administered and styled as In re Assured Pharmacy, Inc., et al., Case No. 15-40389 (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Debtors will continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases described above constitutes an event of default under the various agreements.  As of the Petition Date, there was a total of $3,443,166 in principal payable under these agreements. As a result of the filing of Chapter 11 Case, the Company believes that the ability of the lenders/creditors to seek remedies to enforce their rights against the Company under these and other agreements are stayed and creditor rights of enforcement against the Debtors are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

In conjunction with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases on March 5, 2015, the Company executed an Equity Purchase Agreement with Precise Analytical, LLC, a private Delaware limited liability company (“Precise”), the effectiveness of which is subject to the entry of a Confirmation Order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Debtors’ proposed plan of reorganization. The proposed plan and a proposed disclosure statement were filed with the bankruptcy petitions, and the Debtors have asked for expedited consideration of the disclosure statement. Upon the effective date of the bankruptcy plan, if approved by the Bankruptcy Court, Precise shall receive 100% of the shares of the reorganized Company’s common stock for a purchase price to be calculated based on a base purchase price of $11,500,000 with deductions from the purchase price for the Company’s debt outstanding under the DIP Facility (as defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement) and the amount, if any, by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital (such terms are defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement) and with an addition to the purchase price for the amount, if any, by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital. Upon payment of the purchase price, the Company will contribute the proceeds to the Plan Escrow and the Professional Fee Escrow. Additional adjustments to the purchase price may be made within 90 days after the closing date, depending on the Company’s balance sheets (including the subsidiaries’ balance sheets) and the actual amounts of the Closing Working Capital, cash and the amounts paid in cash pursuant to the plan. The proceeds in the Plan Escrow will then be distributed to pay creditors and certain interest holders pursuant to the plan.

On March 6, 2015, in conjunction with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases (defined above) and the execution of the Equity Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Debtor in Possession loan agreement in the amount of $1,500,000 with Precise Analytical, LLC due June 5, 2015.  The note bears an interest rate of 10% per annum.   As of April 16, 2015, the outstanding balance on the loan was $0.00.
 
On April 14, 2015, we received an order approving Disclosure Statement, on a final basis, and confirming Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas Sherman Division.
 
On April 16, 2015, the Company completed the equity sale of 100 % of the post bankruptcy common stock to Precise Analytical, LLC ., in accordance with the  terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement and as a result of the transaction became a private company.

Business Overview

We are engaged in the business of establishing and operating pharmacies that specialize in dispensing highly regulated pain medication for chronic pain management.  Because our focus is on dispensing medication, we typically do not keep in inventory non-prescription drugs, or health and beauty related products, such as walking canes, bandages and shampoo. We primarily derive our revenue from the sale of prescription medications.   The majority of our business is derived from repeat business from our customers and we have limited “walk-in” prescriptions.

Sales

Our total sales reported for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $2,321,644, a 150.6% increase from $926,552 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Our sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was generated primarily from the sale of prescription drugs through our pharmacy operations.

Sales per prescription dispensed by our pharmacies was approximately $128 per prescription for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a 37.2% increase from approximately $94 per prescription for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in our sales per prescription dispensed is primarily attributable to a shift in prescription mix from lower priced generic medications to higher priced brand medications.  

The number of prescriptions dispensed by our pharmacies was 18,073 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 9,898 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Management attributes the increase in prescription volumes to the opening our pharmacy in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area and improved inventory purchasing.

The number of patients serviced by our pharmacies was 9,141 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 5,532 patients for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Cost of Sales

The total cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $1,911,428, a 169.6% increase from $708,885 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The cost of sales consists primarily of direct cost of prescription drugs. The increase in cost of sales is primarily attributable to increased sales in the reporting period.

Gross Profit

Our total gross profit increased to $410,216, or approximately 17.7% of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This is an increase from a gross profit of $217,666, or approximately 23.5% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease in the gross profit percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2014, when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, is primarily attributable to a shift in prescription mix.  Our gross profit per prescription filled for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $22.70, a 3.2% increase from $21.99 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Operating Expenses

Operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $964,745, a 28.7% increase from $749,364 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 consisted of salaries and related expenses of $460,061 and selling, general and administrative expenses of $504,684. Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of salaries and related expenses of $445,426 and selling, general and administrative expenses of $303,938.

Salaries and related expenses increased $14,635 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to staff additions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $200,746 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The significant components of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows:

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in professional fees, delivery expenses and other general and administrative expenses and to a lesser extent an increase in provision for accounts receivable doubtful accounts, selling expenses and facility related expenses which were partially offset by decreases in stock-based compensation, travel and related expenses, vendor late fees and investor relation fees. The increase in delivery expenses is primarily due to an increase in the number of deliveries and pick-ups from our customers.   

Other (Income) Expense

Total other income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $124,008, a $64,798 decrease from $188,806 in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The significant components of other income and expenses are as follows:

The decrease was primarily attributable to a $144,003 decrease in interest expense and to a lesser extent a $3,825 gain on change in fair value of derivative, which was partially offset by a decrease in the gain in fair value of warrant liability $83,030.

The gain on change in fair value of warrant liability represents the change in fair value calculated on warrants issued in connection with private placements in the fiscal years 2011 through 2014 which grant the warrant holder certain anti-dilution protection and provide exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price per share.

The gain on change in fair value of derivative liability represents the change in fair value calculated on derivative issued in connection with our 2013 Series D Preferred Stock issuances.  The derivative relates to the conversion feature into common stock at an initial rate of 2,000 common shares for each share of Series D Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment for certain anti-dilution protection and provide exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price per share.
 
Our total outstanding debt decreased to $6,682,588 as of September 30, 2014 as compared to $7,770,406 at September 30, 2013.  The table below summarizes the components of interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense at the stated rates due to a decrease in the average debt outstanding, a decrease in amortization of debt discount of $71,268 and to a lesser extent a $593 decrease in amortization of deferred financing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $685,280, compared to a net loss of $837,305 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease in our net loss was primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit of $192,550, a decrease in other expenses of $64,798 and a decrease in the loss on discontinued operations, net of tax of $71,538, which was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of $215,381.

Our net loss per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.10, compared to a net loss per common share of $0.13 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease to our net loss per common share was primarily attributable to an increase in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to 11,951,664 from 6,339,259 which was partially offset by a $403,560 increase in our net loss applicable to common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The number of prescriptions dispensed by our pharmacies was 45,655 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 37,480 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The number of patients serviced by our pharmacies was 23,658 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 19,788 patients for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The cost of sales consists primarily of direct cost of prescription drugs. The increase in cost of sales is primarily attributable to increased sales and prescription mix in the reporting period.

Gross Profit

Our total gross profit increased to $1,157,930, or approximately 18.9% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This is an increase from a gross profit of $912,818 or approximately 22.8% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease in the gross profit percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, when compared to the prior fiscal nine months, is primarily attributable to a shift in prescription mix. Our gross profit per prescription filled for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $25.36, a 6.4% increase from $23.84 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $345,331 and a $109,740 decrease in professional fees and to a lesser extent decreases in vendor late fee expenses and investor relation expenses which were partially offset by increases in delivery expenses, selling expenses, provision for accounts receivable doubtful accounts, other general and administrative expenses and facility related expenses. The increase in delivery expenses is primarily due to an increase in the number of deliveries and pick-ups from our customers.   

Other (Income) Expense

Total other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $337,683, a $1,067,808 decrease from $730,125 in other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The significant components of other income and expenses are as follows:

The decrease was primarily attributable to a $222,655 decrease in the change in fair value of warrants, a gain on extinguishment of debt of $213,433, a decrease of $403,571 in interest expense, a $130,517 gain on change in fair value of derivative and a $97,632 decrease in change in fair value of forward contract.

The $213,433 gain on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 resulted from troubled debt restructurings that met the requirements for extinguishment accounting treatment.   

The gain on change in fair value of warrant liability represents the change in fair value calculated on warrants issued in connection with private placements in the fiscal years 2011 through 2014 which grant the warrant holder certain anti-dilution protection and provide exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price per share.

The gain on change in fair value of forward contract liability represents the change in fair value calculated on forward contract issued in connection with our 2013 private placement of common stock. The Company also agreed that the 38,462 shares of common stock included in the units is subject to increase and the $0.65 per share value is subject to decrease, in each case based on the level of the Company’s consolidated net revenues that are derived during our 2013 fiscal year (the “Make-Whole Adjustments”).
 
The gain on change in fair value of derivative liability  represents the change in fair value calculated on derivative issued in connection with our 2013 Series D Preferred Stock issuances.  The derivative relates to the conversion feature into common stock at an initial rate of 2,000 common shares for each share of Series D Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment for certain anti-dilution protection and provide exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price per share.
  
Our total outstanding debt decreased to $6,682,588 as of September 30, 2014 as compared to $7,770,406 at September 30, 2013.  The table below summarizes the components of interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to a decrease in amortization of debt discount of $219,410 and a $166,771 decrease in interest expense at the stated rates due to an decrease in the average debt outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and to a lesser extent an $17,390 decrease in amortization of deferred financing costs.

Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of tax
 
Discontinued operations include the operations of our Riverside, California and Gresham, Oregon pharmacies closed in August 2013.  Our net loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $23,847, compared to a net loss of $583,138 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $1,358,792, compared to a net loss of $3,817,840 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease in our net loss was primarily attributable to a decrease in other expenses of $1,067,808 and to a lesser extent, a decrease in operating expenses of $285,682, a decrease in the loss on discontinued operations, net of tax of $559,291 and an increase in gross profit of $245,111.

Our net loss per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.22, compared to a net loss per common share of $0.67 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease to our net loss per common share was primarily attributable to a $1,241,406 decrease in our net loss applicable to common stock and an increase in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to 11,594,294 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from 5,691,052 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Financial condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2014, we had a cash balance of $7,932, an increase from a balance of $2,856 at December 31, 2013.  At September 30, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $6,000,301, an increase from a working capital deficit of $5,151,054 of December 31, 2013.  The increase in our working capital deficit was primarily attributable to an increase in current liabilities attributable to an increase in notes payable and unsecured debentures, which was partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable due to the sale of accounts receivable.
 
Over the last several years, our operations have been funded primarily through the sale of both equity and debt securities and cash made available under certain credit facilities.  In order for us to finance operations, continue our growth plan and service our existing debt, additional funding is required from external sources. We intend to fund operations through increased sales, lower operating expenses and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash requirements for the next twelve months. Our management is seeking financing and anticipates that its efforts will result in sufficient funds to finance our operations beyond the next twelve months.  However, there can be no assurance that the additional financing necessary to finance our operations for the next twelve months will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
 
Our current cash on hand is insufficient for us to operate our three operating pharmacies at the current level for the next twelve months.  Our business plan calls for ongoing expenses in connection with salary expense and establishing additional pharmacies. These expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $2,800,000 for the next twelve months.

As of September 30, 2014, we had $300,000 in debt securities that were due in the year 2012 and $4,532,326 in debt securities that are either past due or will come due in the next twelve months.  
 
In conjunction with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases (defined below) on March 5, 2015, the Company executed an Equity Purchase Agreement with Precise Analytical, LLC, a private Delaware limited liability company (“Precise”), the effectiveness of which is subject to the entry of a Confirmation Order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Debtors’ proposed plan of reorganization. The proposed plan and a proposed disclosure statement were filed with the bankruptcy petitions, and the Debtors have asked for expedited consideration of the disclosure statement. Upon the effective date of the bankruptcy plan, if approved by the Bankruptcy Court, Precise shall receive 100% of the shares of the reorganized Company’s common stock for a purchase price to be calculated based on a base purchase price of $11,500,000 with deductions from the purchase price for the Company’s debt outstanding under the DIP Facility (as defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement) and the amount, if any, by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital (such terms are defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement) and with an addition to the purchase price for the amount, if any, by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital. Upon payment of the purchase price, the Company will contribute the proceeds to the Plan Escrow and the Professional Fee Escrow. Additional adjustments to the purchase price may be made within 90 days after the closing date, depending on the Company’s balance sheets (including the subsidiaries’ balance sheets) and the actual amounts of the Closing Working Capital, cash and the amounts paid in cash pursuant to the plan. The proceeds in the Plan Escrow will then be distributed to pay creditors and certain interest holders pursuant to the plan.
 
On March 5, 2015 (“Petition Date”), Assured Pharmacy, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries Assured Pharmacy Management, Inc., Assured Pharmacy Dallas, Inc., Assured Pharmacy Boston, Inc., Assured Pharmacy Denver, Inc., Assured Pharmacies, Inc., Assured Pharmacy Gresham, Inc., Assured Pharmacy Kansas, Inc., Assured Pharmacies Northwest, Inc., and CS Compliance Group, Inc.,  (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) for reorganization relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Company has requested that the Chapter 11 cases be jointly administered and styled as In re Assured Pharmacy, Inc., et al., Case No. 15-40389 (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Debtors will continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases described above constitutes an event of default under the various agreements.  As of the Petition Date, there was a total of $3,443,166 in principal payable under these agreements. As a result of the filing of Chapter 11 Case, the Company believes that the ability of the lenders/creditors to seek remedies to enforce their rights against the Company under these and other agreements are stayed and creditor rights of enforcement against the Debtors are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

On March 6, 2015, in conjunction with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases (defined above) and the execution of the Equity Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Debtor in Possession loan agreement in the amount of $1,500,000 with Precise Analytical, LLC due June 5, 2015.  The note bear an interest rate of 10% per annum.  On April 16, 2015, the Company completed the equity sale to Precise Analytical, LLC,  in accordance with the  terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement.   As of April 16, 2015, the outstanding balance on the loan was $0.

Operating assets and liabilities reduced the overall cash deficit in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to increases in our accounts payable and accrued expenses and decreases in our accounts receivable due to our accounts receivable revolving credit facility.

Cash used in investing activities was $11,736 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $46,649 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 consisted entirely of purchases of property and equipment.
 
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $937,809 compared to $1,260,870 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Over the last several years our operations have been funded primarily through the sale of debt securities and advances from revolving credit facilities made available to us.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we received net proceeds from related party notes payable of $540,000, net proceeds from the sale of Series D Preferred Stock of $340,000 and net proceeds on revolving credit facilities of $110,000, which were partially offset by net principal repayments of $52,191 on notes payable and convertible debentures.  
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2014, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Going Concern Assumption

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $51.2 million, recurring losses from operations and negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, of approximately $920,997. We also had negative working capital of approximately $6.0 million and debt with maturities within one year in the amount of approximately $4.8 million as of September 30, 2014.

As described in Note 14, Subsequent Events, the Company filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court.   On April 14, 2015, we received an order approving Disclosure Statement, on a final basis, and confirming Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas Sherman Division.
 
On March 27, 2015, the Company filed a Form 15-12G Certification of Termination of Registration with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to voluntary discontinue  public company reporting.  The Company made the election as a cost reduction measure and to facilitate the equity sale of the Company.
 
On April 16, 2015, the Company completed the equity sale of 100 % of the post bankruptcy common stock to Precise Analytical, LLC ., in accordance with the  terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement and as a result of the transaction became a private company.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our analysis and discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. GAAP provides the framework from which to make these estimates, assumptions and disclosures. We have chosen accounting policies within GAAP that we believe are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial position in a consistent manner. We regularly assess these policies in light of current and forecasted economic conditions. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended September 30, 2014.  Our accounting policies are stated in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  We believe the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our results of operations and the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
  
Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from prescriptions dispensed on an accrual basis when the product is delivered to or picked up by the customer. Payments are received directly from the customer at the point of sale, or the customers’ insurance provider is billed electronically. For third party medical insurance and other claims, authorization to ensure payment is obtained from the customer’s insurance provider before the medication is dispensed to the customer. Authorization is obtained for these sales electronically and a corresponding authorization number is issued by the customers’ insurance provider.

Inventories

Inventories are located at our pharmacy locations. Inventory consists solely of finished products (primarily prescription drugs) and is valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost (“FIFO”) or market. Our inventories are maintained on a periodic basis through the performance of physical inventory counts.  Our cost of sales is recorded based upon the actual results of the physical inventory counts, and is estimated when a physical inventory is not performed in a particular month. Historically, no significant adjustments have resulted from reconciliations with the physical inventories.
 
Inventories are comprised of brand and generic pharmaceutical drugs. Our pharmacies maintain a wide variety of different drug classes, known as Schedule II, Schedule III, and Schedule IV drugs, which vary in degrees of addictiveness.  Schedule II drugs, considered narcotics by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), are the most addictive; hence, they are highly regulated by the DEA and are required to be segregated and secured in a separate cabinet. Schedule III and Schedule IV drugs are less addictive and are not regulated. Because our business model focuses on servicing pain management doctors and chronic pain patients, we carry in inventory a larger amount of Schedule II drugs than most other pharmacies.

Stock-based Compensation

We issue options and restricted shares of common stock to employees and consultants.  Stock option and restricted share awards are granted at the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

The Company records all share-based payments at fair value.  The total applicable compensation cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

Inflation and Seasonality
 
Inflation has not materially affected us during the past fiscal year.  We do not believe that our business is seasonal in nature, but historically we have seen increased sales in the fourth quarter which management attributes to patient insurance deductibles that expire on December 31st of each year.
  
 
Under SEC rules and regulations, as a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2014. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that are described in Item 9A our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2014.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting.

From time to time, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits, and disputes with third parties, actions involving allegations of discrimination or breach of contract actions incidental to the normal operations of the business.  Providing pharmacy services entails an inherent risk of medical and professional malpractice liability. We may be named as a defendant in such lawsuits and thus become subject to the attendant risk of substantial damage awards. We believe that we have adequate professional and medical malpractice liability insurance coverage. There can be no assurance, however, that we will not be sued, that any such lawsuit will not exceed our insurance coverage, or that we will be able to maintain such coverage at acceptable costs and on favorable terms.

On March 18, 2011, a lawsuit was filed by Tim Chandler, Jodi Marshall, Christie Garner, the Estate of Thomas Pike, Jr., and Angie Hernandez in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Multnomah County against Payette Clinics, P.C., Scott Pecora, Kelly Bell, Penny Steers and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Assured Pharmacies Northwest, Inc. and Assured Pharmacy Gresham, Inc. The lawsuit arose from allegations that nurse practitioners at Payette Clinics, P.C. prescribed the five plaintiffs controlled substances in amounts that were excessive under the appropriate medical standard of care.  Only one of the plaintiffs, Tim Chandler, brought claims against our subsidiaries.  Mr. Chandler’s claims against our subsidiaries were for negligence on the basis of allegations that our subsidiaries knew or had reason to know that the prescriptions fell below the standard of care applicable to the prescription of such controlled substances but nonetheless filled the prescriptions.  The plaintiffs, as a whole, submitted a prayer for $7,500,000 in damages.  Mr. Chandler only seeks “an amount to be proven at trial” for noneconomic damages and unnecessary expenses.  Management believes that the allegations against our subsidiaries are without merit and plans to vigorously defend this claim.  We have $2,000,000 in insurance coverage for claims relating to pharmacy negligence.  This lawsuit has been stayed as a result of a co-defendant in this lawsuit (Payette Clinics, P.C.) having filed for bankruptcy.  The bankruptcy has since been discharged and the automatic stay lifted.  The case recently came out of abatement and is set for a two-week trial beginning March 16, 2015.  The Company has denied any liability and is vigorously defending against this action.
 
On August 23, 2013, AQR Opportunistic Premium Offshore Fund, LP and CNH Diversified Opportunities Master Account, LP filed a lawsuit against Assured Pharmacy in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Plaintiffs submitted a Motion for Summary Judgment in Lieu of Complaint against defendants to recover money allegedly owed by Assured Pharmacy, Inc. under two 16% Convertible Debentures totaling $300,000 issued in and around 2011 in a private placement. On September 19, 2013, Assured removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. All scheduled briefing regarding Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment in Lieu of Complaint was fully submitted to the Court as of October 18, 2013, and the parties are currently awaiting a decision and Order. Assured plans to vigorously defend against Plaintiffs’ claims.  On March 4, 2015, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and General Release whereby the Company agreed to pay the debenture holders a total of $413,000 on or before May 1, 2015.
  
On December 16, 2013 a lawsuit was filed by Ann Raffaele, in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Multnomah County against Assured Pharmacy, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Assured Pharmacies Northwest, Inc. and Assured Pharmacy Gresham, Inc. The lawsuit arises from allegations of medical negligence by Dr. Edward Goering, D.O. and Assured Pharmacy.  The plaintiff submitted a prayer for $1,500,000 in damages.  Management believes that the allegations against the Company are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against this claim.  We have $2,000,000 in insurance coverage for claims relating to pharmacy negligence.  

On February 19, 2014, a lawsuit was filed by JS Barkats PLLC, in the Supreme Court of The State of New York, County of New York against Assured Pharmacy, Inc. and Robert DelVecchio, our Chief Executive Officer.  The lawsuit arises from allegations of failing to remit legal fees due under written retainer agreements of $134,300 and failing to deliver 500,000 freely traded shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to one of the retainer agreements. Defendants filed a Verified Answer on March 21, 2014. On June 19, 2014, the parties entered into a Preliminary Conference Order setting the timing and sequence of discovery in the action. A Compliance Conference has been scheduled for September 4, 2014. Management believes that the allegations against the Company are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against this claim.
 
 
The most significant risk factors applicable to the Company are described in Part I Item 1A entitled “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”).  There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2013 Form 10-K.  Additional risks and uncertainties not known to management may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

The following is a summary of recent sales of our securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

For each of the following common stock, preferred stock, convertible debentures and warrant issuances, these securities were issued upon the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act provided for by Section 4(a)2 and 3(a)(9).  There were no underwriters or placement agents employed in connection with any of these transactions.  

Between July 10, 2014 and September 17, 2014, we issued 310 shares of restricted Series D Preferred Stock to three accredited investors for gross proceeds $310,000 in accordance of the terms of the certain Securities Purchase Agreements.  As part of the transaction, we also issued 310 Series A and 310 Series B five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,240,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.50.

On December 18, 2014, the Company issued $172,400 in convertible debentures to Hillair Capital Investments, LP with an original conversion price of $1.00.  The debentures are convertible into 172,400 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On March 3, 2015, the Company issued $129,600 in convertible debentures to Hillair Capital Investments, L.P. with an original conversion price of $1.00.  The debentures are convertible into a total of 129,600 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Between  September 5, 2014 and October 20, 2014,  we issued 55 shares of restricted Series D Preferred Stock to Sageborne, LLC, a related party, for gross proceeds $55,000 in accordance of the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement.  As part of the transaction, we also issued 55 Series A and 55 Series B five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate 220,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.50.

On November 24, 2014, we issued an aggregate total of 25 shares of restricted Series D Preferred Stock for gross proceeds $25,000 to Pinewood Trading Fund, LLC, a related party in accordance of the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement.  As part of the transaction, we also issued 25 Series A and 25 Series B five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate total of 100,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.50.

On September 9, 2014, we issued 1,250,000 shares of restricted common stock to Sageborne, LLC, a related party, for financial consulting services for a two year term.  The fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance was determined to be $187,500.

On February 6, 2015, we issued 600,000 shares of restricted common stock to Pinewood Trading Fund, LP, a related party, as consideration for the commercial guarantee on the Company’s accounts receivable revolving line of credit with Third Coast Bank.  The fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance was determined to be $108,000.

 
Due to our current financial condition, we did not make interest and principal payments due under various notes and debentures.  In addition, the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases on March 5, 2015 described above constitutes an event of default under the various agreements.  As of the Petition Date, there was a total of $3,443,166 in principal payable under these agreements. As a result of the filing of Chapter 11 Case, the Company believes that the ability of the lenders/creditors to seek remedies to enforce their rights against the Company under these and other agreements are stayed and creditor rights of enforcement against the Debtors are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
