NOTE 1:                ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS


OmniComm Systems, Inc. (“OmniComm” or the “Company”) is a healthcare technology company that provides Web-based electronic data capture (“EDC”) solutions and related value-added services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, clinical research organizations, and other clinical trial sponsors principally located in the United States and Europe. Our proprietary EDC software applications; TrialMaster®, TrialOne®, and eClinical Suite, allow clinical trial sponsors and investigative sites to securely collect, validate, transmit, and analyze clinical trial data.


Our ability to compete within the EDC industry is predicated on our ability to continue enhancing and broadening the scope of solutions offered through our EDC software and services. Our research and development (sometimes referred to as “R & D”) efforts are focused on developing new and complementary software solutions, as well as enhancing our existing software solutions through the addition of increased functionality. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 we spent approximately $1,718,079 and $1,867,778, respectively, on research and development activities, which is primarily comprised of salaries to our developers and other R & D personnel and related costs associated with the development of our software products.
