SPO MEDICAL INC AND ITS SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(U.S. dollars in thousands (except share data))
NOTE 1 - General
SPO Medical Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "SPO" or the "Company") is engaged in the design, development and marketing of non-invasive pulse oximetry technologies to measure blood oxygen saturation and heart rate. The applications are marketed, in the following sectors; professional medical care, homecare, sports, safety and search & rescue.
The Company was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 1981 under the name "Applied DNA Systems, Inc." On November 16, 1994, the Company changed its name to "Nu-Tech Bio-Med, Inc." On December 23, 1998, the Company changed its name to "United Diagnostic, Inc." Effective April 21, 2005, the Company acquired (the "Acquisition Transaction") 100% of the outstanding capital stock of SPO Medical Equipment Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel ("SPO Ltd."), pursuant to a Capital Stock Exchange Agreement dated as of February 28, 2005 between the Company, SPO Ltd. and the shareholders of SPO Ltd., as amended and restated on April 21, 2005 (the "Exchange Agreement"). In exchange for the outstanding capital stock of SPO Ltd., the Company issued to the former shareholders of SPO Ltd. a total of 5,769,106 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), representing approximately 90% of the Common Stock then issued and outstanding after giving effect to the Acquisition Transaction. As a result of the Acquisition Transaction, SPO Ltd. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as of April 21, 2005 and, subsequent to the Acquisition Transaction, the Company changed its name to "SPO Medical Inc." Upon consummation of the Acquisition Transaction, the Company effectuated a forward subdivision of the Company's Common Stock issued and outstanding on a 2.65285:1 basis.
The merger between UNDI and the SPO Ltd was accounted for as a reverse merger. As the shareholders of SPO Ltd received the largest ownership interest in the Company, SPO Ltd was determined to be the "accounting acquirer" in the reverse acquisition. As a result, the historical financial statements of the Company were replaced with the historical financial statements of the SPO Ltd.
The Company and its subsidiary, SPO Ltd., are collectively referred to as the "Company". In January 2010, the Company restructured its operations to focus primarily on licensing its core technology for non-medical market applications. The restructuring included entering into a licensing agreement (the “License”) for the then existing medical PulseOx product line with an entity owned by the Company’s then Chief Technology Officer (hereinafter the “Licensee”). Under the terms of the License, the Licensee was granted a non-transferable, royalty bearing license, to distribute the PulseOx product line and derivatives thereof, for specifically defined medical uses. Following the License, the Company ceased its previous operations associated with the distribution of the PulseOx line in the medical field. In February 2011 the Company transferred research and development activity to subcontractors, thereby ceasing all internal research and development activities.
NOTE 2 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying un-audited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with Rule 8.03 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2012 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods indicated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2012.
| 7 |
Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified in conformity with current year's financial statements.
NOTE 3 - Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, resulted in a net loss of $250 and the Company’s balance sheet reflects a net stockholders’ deficit of $2,494. The Company’s ability to continue operating as a “going concern” is dependent on its ability to raise sufficient additional working capital. As disclosed in previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, management has been attempting to raise additional cash from current and potential stockholders and plans to continue these efforts.
NOTE 4 - Long term loans
In August and November, 2011, the Company received $75 and $200 from existing investors on account for loans. In January 2012, the Company and the investors (collectively, the “Investors”) finalized the terms of the loan and entered into definitive agreements in connection therewith. The loans, in the principal amount of $275, are evidenced by promissory notes (the “Notes”), of which $75 is scheduled to mature in August 2013 and $200 is scheduled to mature in November 2013. The loans bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Interest is payable at the end of each of January, April, July and October. The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the holder’s option at any time at a conversion price of $0.15 per share. Under the terms of the Note, the occurrence of any of the following constitute events of default (each an “Event of Default”): (i) the Company’s failure to pay the principal on the maturity date, (ii) any material representation or warranty that the Company makes in the Note, statement or certificate furnished in connection therewith shall be false or misleading in any material respect, (iii) the Company’s breach of any material covenant or other term or condition of the Note in any material respect and such breach continues for 5 business days after notice thereof from the holder, (iv) the assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors or application for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or such receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed, (v) the entry of a monetary judgment or similar process in excess of $100, if such judgment remains unvacated for 30 days and (vi) the Company’s insolvency or liquidation or a bankruptcy event. The Company issued to the Investors warrants exercisable through (i) August 11, 2015 to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock; (ii) November 2, 2015 to purchase 333,335 shares of Common Stock and (iii) November 2, 2015 to purchase 333,335 shares of Common Stock, in each case at per share exercise price of $0.15.
On January 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor pursuant to which it issued its 8% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $50. The loan, together with accrued interest, is scheduled to mature on January 31, 2013. Commencing August 7, 2012, the Investor is entitled to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount on the note, as well as the interest accrued, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to 55% of the average of the five lowest closing sale prices during the ten days preceding the conversion date.
On March 22, 2012, the Company entered into convertible note agreements with two investors pursuant to which the Company received $25 from each investor. The original maturity date of the Notes is scheduled for September 22, 2012. The Notes bear interest at a per annum rate of 20%. The Notes and accrued interest are convertible to common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.08 per share.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES RELATED TO THOSE STATEMENTS. SOME OF OUR DISCUSSION IS FORWARD-LOOKING AND INVOLVES RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. FOR INFORMATION REGARDING RISK FACTORS THAT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, REFER TO THE RISK FACTORS SECTION OF THE ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011.
OVERVIEW
SPO Medical Inc. (“we” or the “Company” or “SPO”) is engaged in the design and development of non-invasive pulse oximetry technologies to measure blood oxygen saturation and heart rate. We have developed and patented proprietary technology that enables the measurement of heart rate and oxygen saturation levels in the blood, which is known as Reflectance Pulse Oximetry (RPO). RPO functions using an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit), which is equivalent to a “customized” semi-conductor. Using this technology, a sensor can be positioned on various body parts, minimizing problems from motion artifacts and poor perfusion. The unique design features contribute to substantially lower power requirements and enhance wireless, stand-alone configurations facilitating expanded commercial possibilities. We hold 12 patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") and European Patent Authorities covering various aspects of our technologies.
We are currently focused on exploiting the sports and wellness markets by developing cutting edge products based on our proprietary technology. These are multibillion dollar markets which we intend to penetrate with our disruptive technologies. Our current wellness products include an innovative bracelet, a baby monitoring unit and a sports watch.
The SPO sports watch has been designed to measure continuous hear-rate wirelessly, without the need to wear a conventional chest strap. This is a major and unique practical advantage over current products that we believe exist in the general leisure and wellness market. As importantly, the watch will be able to read the heart rate without the sports enthusiast ceasing his physical activity. This will be made possible through the use of SPO’s patented reflectance technology. Subject to raising significant additional funds, of which no assurance can be provided, we anticipate that the product should become commercially available during 2013.
In addition to the sports watch, we are in the final stages of developing an innovative wellness bracelet that measures the number of activities and calories burned by an individual performs on a given day. The bracelet, designed for both children and adults, features a display function to continuously measure the number of daily activities against preset recommended goals. SPO has designed and patented the functionality of the bracelet to be an affordable, simple-to-use, fashion accessory to encourage users to increase their mobility and overall wellness and to wear it with pride. We anticipate that the product should become commercially available during the latter part of 2012. In December 2011, we signed an exclusive agreement with a large private time-piece manufacture to manufacture and sell our wellness bracelet to department stores, mid-tier mass-market and food & drug stores throughout North America. The agreement specifies that the manufacturer will finance all costs associated with bringing the wellness bracelet to the marketplace. We and the manufacturer have agreed to divide the profit margin from the sale of the wellness bracelet net of all costs associated with manufacturing the wellness.
In addition, we are developing an innovative home-baby monitoring device for continuous measurement of wellness information to the parent or caregiver, while the baby is sleeping. This parental reassurance tool gives the company a technological competitive edge in providing an innovative, high performance solution for a market application that is applicable to most family homes. Subject to raising significant additional funds, of which no assurance can be provided, we believe that the product could become commercially available during 2014.
| 10 |
Although we currently focus on the sports, baby monitoring and wellness markets, we have a legacy business that has been dedicated to the health care and medical products industry. In January 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary SPO Ltd. entered into an Alliance and License Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2009, with an entity owned and controlled by our former Chief Technical Officer (the “Licensee”). Under the terms of the license agreement, the PulseOx medical product line is being marketed by the Licensee in the medical field.
We have generated significant operating losses since inception and we have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects can be made. Our prospects must therefore be evaluated in light of the problems, expenses, delays and complications associated with a development stage company.
We need to raise additional funds on an immediate basis in order to realize our business plan as well as pay outstanding loans in the approximate amount of $1,288,000, of which $1,014,000 were currently due and payable at March 31, 2012, and to maintain operations. In response to the deteriorating global economic conditions that began in 2008, we have taken certain measures in an effort to reduce operating expenses and conserve our cash resources. Beginning July 2008, we have significantly curtailed our non-essential product design and development, and ceased all marketing activities and product manufacturing. We have terminated certain product development plans. In January 2010, we restructured our operations in an attempt to focus primarily on our core technology for non-medical market operations. The restructuring included entering into a licensing agreement for our then existing medical PulseOx product line, which resulted in the cessation of the Company’s production, selling and marketing activities. As of May 15, 2012, we have two employees working on a full-time basis. In addition, all research and development activities are performed on a sub-contracted basis. If we are unable to raise capital on an immediate basis, it may be necessary for us to take further cost cutting measures to reduce our cash burn including laying-off additional personnel and/or cease operations entirely. No assurance can be given that we will be able to raise the needed capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, investments, intangible assets and income taxes. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We have identified the accounting policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We generate revenues principally from the provision of subcontracted research and development services. Revenues generated from subcontracted research and development services are recognized when such services are performed.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012 AND THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011
As noted above, in January 2010, we restructured our operations to focus primarily on licensing our core technology for non-medical market application. The restructuring included entering into a licensing agreement (the “License”) for our then-existing medical PulseOx product line. Under the terms of the License, the licensee was granted a non-transferable, royalty bearing license, to distribute the PulseOx product line and derivatives thereof, for specifically defined medical uses. Following the License, we ceased our previous operations associated with the distribution of the PulseOx line in the medical field. Following the License, we are primarily engaged in developing and licensing our technology to third parties for integration with products in the recreational, baby wellness and sports monitoring fields.
REVENUES. No revenues were recorded for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
COSTS OF REVENUES. Costs of revenues include all costs related to services provided. No costs of revenues were recorded for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES, NET. Research and development expenses, net, consist primarily of expenses incurred in the design, development and testing of our products. These expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for employees, contract design and testing services, supplies used and consulting fees paid to third parties. We did not record any research and development expenses, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $50,000 for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease in research and development expenses, net, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the corresponding period in 2011 is primarily attributable to decrease in the number of employees and other personnel resulting from the cessation by us in 2011 of all internal research and development activities.
SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs relating to compensation attributable to consultants for the provision of public relations, promotion and marketing services geared to the recreational sports and wellness markets. Selling and marketing expenses for three months ended March 31, 2012 were $132,000, of which $125,000 are stock based non cash expenses, compared to $372,000 for the corresponding period in 2011, of which $370,000 are stock based non cash expenses. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the corresponding period in 2011 is primarily attributable to the reduction in our utilization of consultancy related services.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and other related costs for personnel in executive and other administrative functions. Other significant costs include professional fees for legal and accounting services. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $58,000 as compared to $214,000 for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three months as compared to the corresponding period in 2011 is primarily attributable to reductions in employee salaries and investor relation activities.
IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET. In February 2011, we transferred research and development activity to subcontractors and therefore ceased all internal research and development activities which resulted in an impairment to property and equipment in the amount of $96,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

FINANCIAL EXPENSE, NET. Financial expenses net for the three months ended March 31, 2012 period was $60,000. Financial expenses net, for the comparative 2011 Period was $103,000. The principal expenses comprising the financial expenses, net, were: (i) non cash financial expenses related to conversion features of certain of our securities of $16,000 and $0, respectively (ii) Non-cash financial (income) expenses related to evaluation of warrants for the issuance of shares of our common stock in the amount of $(2,000) and $ 78,000, respectively (iii) interest in respect of debt instruments and amortization of deferred interest of $25,000 and $16,000, respectively and (vi) exchange rate differences caused by fluctuations in the exchange rate with the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) on liabilities denominated in NIS held by the subsidiary in the amount of $21,000 and $9,000, respectively.
NET LOSS. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we had net losses of $250,000 and $835,000, respectively. The decrease in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to corresponding three month period in 2011 is primarily attributable to reduction in activities relating to research and development, selling, marketing and general administration.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We need to raise additional funds in order to meet our on-going operating requirements, pay outstanding loans in the aggregate approximate amount of $1,288,000 and to realize our restructured business plan. In response to the deteriorating global economic conditions that began in 2008, we have taken certain measures in an effort to reduce operating expenses and conserve our cash resources. Beginning in July 2008 we significantly curtailed our non-essential product design and development, marketing activities and reorganized our product manufacturing and delivery system to “just-in-time” arrangements. We have terminated certain product development plans. During 2008 until the end of 2011, we deferred part of management and employee salaries and benefits. As of April 5, 2012, we had two employees working on a full-time basis. As noted above, in our restructured operations, we are pursuing joint ventures, OEM type arrangement, research and or sub contractor agreements relating to our oximetry technology with respect to the recreational, baby wellness and sports monitoring fields. If we are unable to raise capital through a financial raise or joint-venture type of agreement on an immediate basis, it may be necessary for us to take further measures to reduce our cash burn including laying-off additional personnel, or ceasing operations entirely. No assurance can be given that we will be able to raise the needed capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Any additional equity financings is likely to be dilutive to holders of our Common Stock and debt financing, if available, may require us to be bound by significant repayment obligations and covenants that restrict our operations.
As of March 31, 2012, we had $29,000 cash and cash equivalents available to us.
We generated negative cash flow from operating activities of approximately $108,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 period compared to $77,000 for the 2011 corresponding period. We generated cash flow from financing activities of approximately $100,000 during the 2012 period compared to $77,000 in the corresponding 2011 period.
In December 2005 we completed the private placement to certain accredited investors that commenced in April 2005 for the issuance of up to $150,000 of units of its securities, with each unit comprised of (i) the Company’s 18 month 6% promissory note (collectively, the "April 2005 Notes") and (ii) three year warrants to purchase up to such number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as are determined by the principal amount of the Note purchased by such investor divided by $ 0.85 (collectively the "April 2005 Warrants"). The Company and the holders of $150,000 in principal amount of the April 2005 Notes subsequently agreed to (a) extend the maturity term of the April 2005 Notes through March 26, 2008, (b) extend the exercise period of the April 2005 Warrants from three to five years with an expiration date of September 26, 2010 and adjust the per share exercise price thereof to $0.60 and (c) increase the interest rate on the amounts outstanding under the April 2005 Notes to 8% per annum, effective July 12, 2006. All of the extended notes matured on March 26, 2008 and all warrants granted have since expired. On December 31, 2009, we and a holder of $30,000 agreed to extend the note’s maturity date (originally matured March 2007) to December 31, 2011 in consideration of the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 50,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable through the third anniversary of issuance, at a per share exercise price of $0.01. These warrants were exercised during 2011.

In March 2008, we offered to the holders of the April 2005 Notes to apply the amounts payable to them on the April 2005 Notes, to the exercise price of the April 2005 Warrants, thereby exercising these warrants, and to convert into Common Stock the accrued interest on the 2005 Notes at a per share conversion price of $0.60. Note holders who accepted this offer were issued new warrants for such number of shares of Common Stock equal to 25% of the number shares issued to them upon exercise of their existing warrants and conversion of the interest accrued on the note. The new warrants were exercisable over three years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.60 and have since expired. As of December 31, 2009, the holders of approximately $439,000 in principal amount have agreed to apply the principal amount owed to them to the exercise price of the April 2005 Warrants. Accordingly, approximately $520,000 in amounts owed under the 2005 Notes have been converted into equity and, accordingly, an aggregate of 866,528 shares of our Common Stock have been issued upon exercise of the April 2005 Warrants and conversion of the interest owing on the April 2005 Notes. Under the terms of the offer, new warrants for 216,636 share of our Common stock have been issued to these April 2005 Note holders, exercisable over three years from the date of issuance. We have been informed by the holders of $300,000 in principal amount of their election to not accept our offer, of which $250,000 of principal and the accrued interest thereon has been repaid as of December 31, 2009. On March 15, 2010, we agreed with the holder of an April 2005 Note in the principal amount of $50,000 to extend the Note’s maturity date to September 15, 2010 and, in consideration thereof, we agreed to pay the holder total amount of $45,000, which was paid in full. On March 15, 2010, we agreed with a holder of an April 2005 Note in the principal amount of $50 to extend the note’s maturity date to September 15, 2010 and, in consideration thereof, we agreed to pay the holder total amount of $45,000, which was paid in full. On May 31, 2010, we issued to two note holders of the April 2005 Note in principal amount of $239,000 warrants to purchase up to 600,000 shares of our Common Stock in consideration of such investors' extension from originally March 2008 to December 31, 2011 of the maturity date of April 2005 Notes.. The warrants are exercisable through December 31, 2013 at a per share exercise price of $0.15. On July 27, 2010, we issued to two holders of the April 2005 Notes a total of 1,370,000 restricted shares of our Common Stock in satisfaction of a note held by one of the accredited investors in the approximate amount of $202,000 and warrants, exercisable through November 15, 2010 to purchase up to 700,000 shares of tour Common Stock, at a per share exercise price of $0.15; on November 15, 2010, warrants for 666,667 shares were exercised for cash proceeds to us of $100,000 As of March 31, 2012, the outstanding April 2005 Notes principal and accrued interest were in the aggregate $650,000.
In July 2006, the Company commenced a private placement of units of its securities the “Loan Notes”, with each unit comprised of (i) the Company’s 8% month promissory note due 12 months from the date of issuance and (ii) warrants as described below, pursuant to which the Company raised $550,000. Under the terms of the offering, the principal and accrued interest was due in one balloon payment at the end of the twelve month period. Each purchaser of the notes received warrants, exercisable over a period of two years from the date of issuance, to purchase 16,250 shares of Common Stock for each $25,000 of principal loaned, at a per share exercise price equal to the lower of $1.50 or 35% less than any offering price at an initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock during the warrant exercise period.. On December 31, 2009 the Company and a holder of a Loan Notes in the principal amount of $150,000 agreed to extend the note’s maturity date to December 31, 2011 in consideration of the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 50,000 shares of the of the Company’s Common Stock, at a per share exercise price of $0.01 exercisable for a period of three years. On June 30, 2010, the company issued 105,074 restricted shares of our Common Stock to a note holder in satisfaction of $16,000 owed to such holder and the cancellation of previously issued warrants to purchase up to 7,800 shares of the Company's Common Stock. As of March 31, 2012, approximately $171,000 in respect of the principal and accrued interest on these notes remains outstanding.
In July and September 2010, we raised net proceeds of approximately $529,000 from the private placement to accredited investors of units of our securities. Each unit offered in the private placement consisted of (i) 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock and (ii) a three-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $0.25 per share.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-14(c).
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, at this time, management has decided that considering the employees involved, the control procedures in place, and the outsourcing of certain financial functions, the risks associated with such lack of segregation are low and the potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the expenses associated with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation. If the volume of the business increases and sufficient capital is secured, it is our intention to increase staffing to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general administrative and financial functions.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Such limitations include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures, such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls.
