ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

  A. General Development of Business.

 

Introduction

 

Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “NIMS”) is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of a non-invasive, therapeutic, periodic acceleration, powered exercise device, which has been designated as the AT-101. In addition, the Company developed computer assisted, non-invasive diagnostic monitoring devices and related software designed to detect abnormal respiratory, cardiac, and other medical conditions from sensors placed externally on the body’s surface. These devices provided diagnostic information regarding cardiorespiratory and sleep disorders in infants, children and adults; in addition, alarms are sounded for adverse cardiac and respiratory events in critically ill patients. These diagnostic devices have been sold to SensorMedics Division of Via Sys for cash and royalties on sales and to VivoMetrics for royalties on sales and an equity position. The Company has ceased manufacturing, marketing and sales of the diagnostic devices and now is engaged solely with marketing and sales of the AT-101 powered exercise device.

 

Business Strategy

 

During the calendar years 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Company restructured its operations and revised its business strategy to transform the Company from a research and development company into a company that will market and distribute its own innovative AT-101 powered exercise device on a worldwide basis. The Company will promote its use in diseases and conditions that fall under the Therapeutic Exercise code for Medicare and third party payer reimbursement for medical necessity of use, particularly Parkinson’s disease, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. AT-101The Company has also extensively revised its Web site to make it more user-friendly (www.AT-101.com).

 

Revenue is derived from sales of the AT-101 powered exercise device, royalties and research contracts. Management of the Company has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to focus the Company’s time and recourses of developing and marketing the AT-101 powered exercise device.

 

NIMS assigned its patents for its best-known innovation - an ambulatory monitoring shirt (the computerized LifeShirtTM system) developed by NIMS’ Chairman, Marvin A Sackner, M.D. - to VivoMetrics, Inc., a health care information company based in Ventura, California. In return for these patent rights, NIMS was given equity ownership in VivoMetrics, Inc. and paid royalties on sales and leasing of LifeShirt(TM) systems. In April, 2002, VivoMetrics, Inc. received FDA clearance allowing VivoMetrics, Inc. to market the LifeShirtTM System. Initial marketing has commenced on the LifeShirt System. There can be no assurances as to the amount of revenues that will be derived from the marketing of the LifeShirt system. The Company believes that it will receive approximately $25,000 monthly from combined royalties provided by SensorMedics and VivoMetrics for the first Nine Months of the calendar year 2004 and approximately $30,000 per year for the remainder of the calendar year 2004. There can be no assurances that the Company will achieve the anticipated revenues or that such revenues will subsequently increase.

This annual financial report strongly reflects the initial consequences of a transition to a manufacturing and marketing company and the results of this transition on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results. The Company anticipates experiencing losses at least through the next two to three fiscal quarters as it completes this transition and develops a market for its newest product, the AT-101 motion platform. NIMS controls production and marketing of its products through its new division, “Acceleration Therapeutics”.

Introduction

 

The Company is engaged in the marketing and sales of a non-invasive, therapeutic, periodic acceleration, powered exercise device which has been designated as the AT-101.

 

Current Products

 

AT-101 Powered Exercise Device

 

Sales of the AT-101 powered exercise device commenced in October 2002 in Japan and in February 2003 in USA. QTM Incorporated, an FDA registered manufacturer (Oldsmar, FL) is currently manufacturing the device. The AT-101 is built in accordance with ISO and FDA Good Manufacturing Practices.

 

Clinical presentations using the device in such diseases as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, polyneuropathy, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, restless legs syndrome, asthma, osteoarthritis and chronic heart failure have been made at national and international meetings from medical centers in Miami, Zurich, Kyoto, and Philadelphia. Investigators from Mt. Sinai Medical Center of Greater Miami found that application of the AT-101 in experimental allergic asthma in sheep produced similar benefits to treatment with corticosteroids. Animal studies have been reported on a modified version of the AT-101 as a cardiopulmonary resuscitation technology. A paper on the application of the AT-101 in fibromyalgia and the chronic fatigue syndrome from Mt. Sinai Medical Center of Greater Miami was published in the July issue of Medical Hypotheses. Two papers have been accepted for publication in medical journals from Mt. Sinai Medical Center of Greater Miami, one demonstrating the homodynamic activity brought about by the AT-101 in normal humans and patients, the other dealing with the beneficial blood changes in animals during AT-101 application.

 

Data from clinical investigations reveal that application of the AT-101 powered exercise device is associated with release of nitric oxide in humans into the circulation through addition of pulses to the natural pulse through AT-101 application. This finding supports our belief that the AT-101 will have a major impact in many disease states in which increased production of nitric oxide from the inner lining of blood vessels is beneficial.

 

The AT-101 powered exercise device is another invention by Marvin A. Sackner, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the University of Miami at Mt. Sinai and Emeritus Director of Medical Services at Mt. Sinai

Medical Center. Dr. Sackner is a past President of the American Thoracic Society, past Chairman of the Pulmonary Disease Subspecialty Board and a past Member of the American Board of Internal Medicine.

 

The AT-101 powered exercise device is a comfortable gurney styled device that moves repetitively in a head-to-foot motion similar to the movement used to comfort a child in a baby carriage but at a much more rapid pace. The AT-101 powered exercise device has been listed with the FDA as a “Class 1” exempt device and can be marketed worldwide as an aid to improving the circulation and joint mobility.

 

The Company requires additional capital to remain in business and commercialize the AT-101 powered exercise device. Management of the Company will continue to seek sources of funding. Failure to secure necessary financing will result in reduction and curtailment of operations.

 

The term the “Company” and “NIMS” refers to both the Company and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise. The Company’s offices are located at 1666 Kennedy Causeway Avenue, Suite 400, North Bay Village Florida 32341 and its telephone number is (305) 861-0075.

 

LifeShirt:

 

The LifeShirt is a Wearable Physiological Computer (patent, PhysiologicSigns Feedback System, issued April 4, 2000) that incorporates four inductive plethysmographic transducers, electrocardiographic electrodes, and a two posture sensor into a low turtle neck sleeveless garment. Pulse oximetry is an optional add-on. These transducers are connected to a miniaturized, battery powered, electronic module that has been fabricated. This in turn interfaces with a Personal Digital Assistant (“PDA”) with compact flash memory for collection of raw waveforms and digital data from the electronic module. Such data are transmitted from flash memory to a Data Collection Center that checks for quality control from full disclosure, transforms data into minute-by-minute median trends of over 30 physical and emotional signs of health and disease. In addition, the monitored patient can enter symptoms with intensity, mood, and medication diary into the PDA for integration with the physiologic information collected with the LifeShirt garment. Data from flash memory can be mailed to the VivoMetrics, Inc.’s Data Collection Center for quality control, generation of reports, and database storage. Vital and physiological signs can be obtained non-invasively, continuously, cheaply, and reliably with the comfortably worn LifeShirt garment system while at rest, during exercise, at work, and during sleep.

 

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004, the Company’s principal product development activities were focused on the AT101 motion platform.

 

Regulatory Compliance

 

Medical device manufacturers are subject to extensive federal and state regulations relating to nearly every aspect of the development, manufacture and commercialization of such products. The FDA is the principal regulatory authority over medical devices in the United States. Additionally, in order to manufacture and market medical devices overseas, which the Company believes is a significant potential market for its products, the Company must comply with regulatory requirements and procedures in various foreign countries. The CE mark is required for marketing in the European Community. The Company obtained ISO 9001 and equivalent FDA Quality Assurance certification from TUV Rheinland in May 1999. The Company has received re-certifications in 2000 and 2001 by TUV Rheinland

 

In August, 2001, the Company received 510(k) approval from the FDA to market the Company’s RespiEvents software for Windows 95/98.

Patents and Trademarks

 

The Company currently holds 4 United States and 1 foreign patents with respect to both overall design and specific features of its present and proposed products and has submitted applications with respect to an additional 2 United States and 4 (international) foreign patents. The Company transferred 14 U.S. patents to VivoMetrics, Inc. No assurance can be given as to the scope of protection afforded by any patent issued, whether patents will be issued with respect to any pending or future patent application, that patents issued will not be designed around, infringed or successfully challenged by others, that the Company will have sufficient resources to enforce any proprietary protection afforded by its patents or that the Company’s technology will not infringe on patents held by others. The Company believes that in the event its patent protection is materially impaired, a material adverse effect on its present and proposed business could result. The expiration dates of the patents are as follows:

 

     Number of Patents

With respect to its present and proposed product line, the Company has 16 trademarks and trade names which are registered in the United States and in several foreign countries, including the Company’s principal trademark.

 

Competition

 

The Company competes with several concerns that market non-invasive respiratory monitoring devices, including Respironics Corporation, Hewlett Packard, and Spacelabs, all of which are larger, have longer operating histories and have financial and personnel resources far greater than those of the Company. Management believes, however, that it effectively competes with such concerns on the basis of uniqueness and quality.

 

Employees

 

The Company currently employs four full-time employees on a full-time basis. Three are engaged in general, marketing and administrative duties and one in research and development.

 

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

 

The Company occupies approximately 9455 square feet at 1666 Kennedy Causeway Avenue, Suite 400, North Bay Village, Florida, which house its executive offices and product development facilities.

Royalties. Royalties increased from $56,847 for the year ended July 31, 2002 to $74,663 for the year ended July 31, 2003, an increase of $17,816 primarily due to royalties received from Vivometrics, Inc.

$258,022. The AT101 has a higher cost of goods then the Respitrace products and increased expenses associated with marketing efforts.

 

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased from $41,565 for the year ended July 31, 2002 to $236,863 for the year ended July 31, 2003, an increase of $195,298, primarily due to increased sales of AT101 which has a higher unit cost then the Respitrace products.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses increased from $853,880 for the year ended July 31, 2002 to $1,111,902 for the year ended July 31, 2003, an increase of $258.022, primarily due to increased expenses associated with the cost of commissions to new sales persons, legal and related expenses associated with marketing of the AT101 motion platform.

 

Research and Development. Research and development costs decreased from $605,423 for the year ended July 31, 2002 to $604,671 for the year ended July 31, 2003, a decrease of approximately $752.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company has financed its operations and other working capital requirements principally from operating cash flow. Management of the Company estimates that the Company requires a minimum cash flow of $80,000 per month to maintain operations. The Company predominantly finances its operations from the sale of the AT101 Motion Platform. In 2003, the Company raised additional capital from individual investors through a private placement offering of the Company’s securities in order to finance its operations and through a line of credit. The funds raised through the private placement offering of the Company’s securities and sales the AT101 motion platform to date will be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s current cash requirements until the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2003. Additional capital will be required after the second quarter of fiscal 2003 for the Company to continue to satisfy its cash requirements and maintain a business plan focusing on increasing revenues from the marketing of acceleration therapeutic products. The Company expects to raise additional capital subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2003. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, the Company may be required to reduce its workforce, reduce compensation levels, reduce dependency on outside consultants, or modify its growth and business plan.

 

Current Assets

 

Cash. As of July 31, 2003, the Company had $2,372 in cash as compared to $293,715 as of July 31, 2002, a decrease of $291,343. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to an increase in costs of operation.

 

Accounts Receivable and Royalties Receivable. As of July 31, 2003, the Company had $50,757 in accounts receivable and royalties receivable as compared to $33,734 as of July 31, 2002, an increase of $17,023, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivables from sales of the AT 101 Motion Platform.

Liabilities

 

Current liabilities. Current liabilities increased from $127,030 for the year ended July 31, 2002 to $1,002,571 for the year ended July 31, 2003, an increase of approximately $875,541, primarily due to an increase of $697,475 in a line of credit, loan payable to an officer of $100,000 and an increase of $82,403 in accounts payable.

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased from $99,897 for the year ended July 31, 2002 to $182,300 for the year ended July 31, 2003, an increase of approximately $82,403, primarily due to increase of accounts payable.

 

Deferred research and consulting revenue. Deferred research and consulting revenue decreased from $24,633 for the year ended July 31, 2002 to $20,296 for the year ended July 31, 2003, a decrease of $4,337.

 

Cash provided by operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities decreased from ($1,194,191) for the year ended July 31, 2002 to $(1,350,896) for the year ended July 31, 2003, a decrease of $(156,705). The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to an increase in the cost of operation of $288,543 and an increase of accounts payable of $82,404.

 

Cash used in investing activities. Cash used in investing activities decreased from $76,056 for the year ended July 31, 2002 to $30,922 for the year ended July 31, 2003, a decrease of $45,134.

Cash provided by financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities decreased from $1,405,000 for the year ended July 31, 2002 to $1,090,475 for the year ended July 31, 2003, a decrease of $314,525 primarily due to a comparative decrease in funds raised from private placement offering of the Company’s securities and an increase in a line of credit.

 

The reports of independent auditors on financial statements at and for the year ended July 31, 2004, contain an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements describe the conditions which raise this doubt and management’s plans. As previously noted, revenues generated from sales of the AT101 motion platform were insufficient to fund operations during fiscal 2004. If revenues generated from AT101 motion platform sales or other sales do not reach levels sufficient to fund working capital requirements during fiscal 2005, the Company will require further financing to continue operations during fiscal 2005 and in any event may require additional capital to fund marketing efforts beyond presently contemplated levels. Failure to secure necessary financing might result in the further reduction and curtailment of operations.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

 

The Company has approximately a 3% interest in LifeShirt.com, Inc. (now known as VivoMetrics, Inc.), a related entity. Dr. Sackner’s son-in-law is the Chief Operating Officer and a founder of VivoMetrics, Inc. Dr. Sackner currently serves as Medical Director and member of the Board of Directors of VivoMetrics, Inc. The Company is a party to a month by month agreement with VivoMetrics, Inc. for continuing research and development on the LifeShirt system.

 

The Company retains title and interest in and to any and all derivative patents related to the products incorporated within the LifeShirt System in exchange for a royalty 5% of the Company’s sales of certain products and services. The underlying agreement, executed October 28, 1999, is for a period of 10 years. Under the agreement with Vivometrics, Inc., Vivometrics, Inc. grants to the Company the non-exclusive, worldwide right and license to use of patents and software for a period of ten years. If Vivometrics, Inc. fails to earn gross revenues of $200,000 from the commercial sale of certain products and/or services to hospitals following the 2002 calendar year, the Company has the right to sell certain products to hospitals for the following three years in exchange for a royalty of 5% of the gross revenues the Company earns on these sales.

ITEM 14 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Company Comptroller, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The evaluation was undertaken in consultation with our accounting personnel. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Company Comptroller concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

 

While we believe our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting are adequate, no system of controls can prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with its policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors of

Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. (“the Company”) as of July 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. as of July 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has operating and liquidity concerns, has an accumulated deficit of $13,830,563 and a shareholders’ deficiency of $534,230 at July 31, 2004, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $691,839 at July 31, 2004 and incurred net income of $26,190 and net cash of $66,619 was provided from operations during fiscal year 2004. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans as to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

For the Years Ended July 31, 2004 and 2003

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND GOING CONCERN

 

Organization. Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), a Florida corporation, manufactured computer-aided continuous monitoring devices to detect abnormal respiratory and cardiac events using sensors placed on the body’s surface that has been sold to SensorMedics Division of ViaSys for cash and royalties and to VivoMetrics for royalties and an equity stake in VivoMetrics. It has shifted its business to marketing and sales of a therapeutic motion platform, powered exercise device designated the AT-101. The Company also performs consultative research of therapeutic medical and monitoring devices.

 

Going Concern. These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has operating and liquidity concerns, has an accumulated deficit of $13,830,563 and a shareholders’ deficiency of $534,230 at July 31, 2004, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $691,839 at July 31, 2004 and incurred net income of $26,190 and net cash of $66,619 was provided from operations during fiscal year 2004. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

Management’s plans as to these matters are for the Company to seek new sources or methods of funding operations or revenue from the sale of its products, royalties and research and consulting services to pursue its business strategy. Management also plans to obtain additional capital through the sale of the Company’s securities. However, at this time there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully implement its plans or if such plans are successfully implemented that the Company will obtain the necessary capital or revenue to continue funding operations. These factors, among others, create an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

Concentration of Credit Risk. The company maintained cash in one bank account in excess of the FDIC insurance limits by $33,671 at July 31, 2004.

 

Inventories. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method and consist primarily of components.

NON-INVASIVE MONITORING SYSTEMS, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

For the Years Ended July 31, 2004 and 2003

 

Furniture and Equipment. Furniture and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method, over the 5-year estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Patents. Costs incurred in applying for patents are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the patents. The Company incurred no costs in defending patents during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004.

 

Long-Lived Assets. The Company reviews its long-lived assets that consist of patents for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the sum of the estimated future cash flows and the carrying amount of the asset. Management reviewed its long-lived assets and determined that a reduction of $0 and $65,881 should be recorded as an impairment of the carrying amount of trademarks as of July 31,2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Income Taxes. The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109 using an asset and liability based approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of temporary differences of revenue and expense items for financial statement and income tax purposes.

 

As of July 31, 2004 the Company had a net operating loss carryforward available to offset future taxable income for federal and state income tax purposes.

 

SFAS No. 109 requires the Company to recognize income tax benefits for loss carryforwards that have not previously been recorded. The tax benefits recognized must be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that loss carryforwards will expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain. For financial statement purposes, the deferred tax asset for loss carryforwards has been fully offset by a valuation allowance since it is uncertain whether any future benefit will be realized.

 

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the guidance in the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and when collection of the fixed or determinable selling price is reasonable assured. The Company recognizes product sales revenue when products are shipped and royalties as they are earned. Research and consulting revenue is recognized over the term of the respective agreements.

 

Advertising Costs. The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. There were no advertising costs included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended July 31, 2004.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

For the Years Ended July 31, 2004 and 2003

 

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Warranties. The Company’s warranties are one-year on all products sold and are accrued based on prior warranty costs incurred. There were no warranty costs incurred during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of July 31, 2004. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include royalties receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for royalties receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several new accounting pronouncements which may apply to the Company.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150 (“Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”). This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Statement requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. The Company is currently classifying financial instruments within the scope of this Statement in accordance with this Statement. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Management does not believe that this Statement will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

3. ROYALTIES RECEIVABLE

 

In August 2000, the Company entered into license and research and consulting agreements with VivoMetrics, Inc. (“VivoMetrics”). In accordance with the terms of these agreements the Company assigned certain patents and software, as well as a non-exclusive, worldwide license under these items, to VivoMetrics in consideration for royalty fees of 3% of sales. The minimum royalty payable to the Company was $250,000 during the Minimum Royalty Year, as defined and due in full on July 30, 2004.

7. NOTE PAYABLE

 

On February 27, 2004 the Company converted its revolving line of credit to a Promissory Note in the amount of $700,000 payable to a new bank. The Company pledged all corporate assets excluding fixtures as collateral. The Promissory Note requires the Company to make twelve (12) payments of interest beginning March 27, 2004 and on the 27th day of each month thereafter; twenty three (23) payments of principal and interest in the amount of $10,211 beginning on March 27, 2005 and on the 27th day of each month thereafter; and a final payment of the entire unpaid balance of principal, earned fees and charges and accrued and unpaid interest, on February 27, 2007. The Promissory Note bears interest at an annual rate of 5.875%. Interest expense was $31,169 during the year ended July 31, 2004.

 

The following principal payments are due and payable:

 

Fiscal Year Ended July 31,

     $ 700,000
    

 

8. INCOME TAXES

 

At July 31, 2004, the Company has available net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $12,638,000 which expire in various years through 2023.

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The significant component of the Company’s deferred income tax asset would result from the net operating losses and amounted to approximately $4,900,000.

 

A valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a full $4,900,000 valuation allowance at July 31, 2004 was necessary. The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended July 31, 2004 is $600,000.

 

9. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

In March 2001, the Company issued options to acquire 720,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees and non-employee directors. These options are exercisable at $0.50 per share with 545,000 shares vested immediately and 175,000 shares vesting over a three-year period commencing March 2002. The options expire in March 2011. The fair value of the options on the grant date was $158,400 calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

For the Years Ended July 31, 2004 and 2003

 

In May 2001, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with its new President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement is for two years and grants the executive options to acquire 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These options are exercisable at $0.50 per share and vest over a four-year period commencing May 2002. The options expire in May 2011. The fair value of the options on the grant date was $108,000 calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

 

In March 2002, options to purchase 312,500 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued. These options are exercisable at $0.40 per share, vest immediately and expire in March 2007. The fair value of the options on the grant date was $78,125 calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

 

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” in accounting for stock-based employee compensation arrangements whereby no compensation cost related to stock options is deducted in determining net income or loss. Had compensation cost for stock option grants to the Company’s employees been determined pursuant to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company’s net income would have decreased for the year ended July 31, 2001 as presented in the table below. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company’s pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share, with related assumptions, are as follows:

 

Pro forma net loss

   $ (6,060 )

Pro forma loss per share

   $ (0.001 )

Risk free interest rate

     5.32 %

Expected lives

     5-10 years  

Expected volatility

     108 %

 

For purposes of these pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options granted is amortized over the options’ vesting period (0 to 5 years).
