SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Confirma, Inc. (a Washington corporation, referred to as “the Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) develops and markets computer systems for processing and presentation of data from magnetic resonance imaging studies.  Our systems are used by radiologists to facilitate the interpretation of examination results and the planning of interventional procedures.  The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Medical Imaging Education, LLC, provides CADstream training to customers, potential customers and others in the medical field.  Confirma Europe LLC and its subsidiary Confirma GmbH were established in September of 2006 for the sale and servicing of Company products in Europe.

Principles of consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Confirma, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Medical Imaging Education LLC, Confirma Europe LLC, and Confirma GmbH.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the presentation of the financial statements.

Revenue recognition – The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions (“SOP 98-9”).  These statements require that revenue not be recognized until there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collectability is probable. If an arrangement includes multiple elements, revenue is to be recognized for delivered elements only when vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value has been established for all undelivered elements in the arrangement. Revenue is allocated among the elements using the residual method, as defined in SOP 98-9. Under the residual method defined in SOP 98-9, the amount allocated to undelivered elements is equal to their fair value as established by VSOE.  Revenue excludes taxes collected for remittance to governmental bodies.

The Company’s revenue is generated from the following sources:

 
·
Computer system licenses,
 
·
Provision of post-contract support and maintenance services on licensed systems, commonly referred to as “PCS”, and
 
·
Training, education and maintenance services and sales of accessories and peripheral equipment

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Revenue recognition, continued

System Licenses: Our standard licensing arrangements include services not essential to the operation of the software and twelve months of bundled support.   Until September 1, 2008, we recognized the entire fee ratably over the term of the bundled PCS, commencing upon delivery of the essential services.  We have determined that effective September 1, 2008 we have VSOE for PCS and implementation services.  Revenues from systems sold by us to the end customers after that date are recognized when the system is installed and customer orientation is complete unless it is determined that those services will not be necessary.

We have one major customer that is a reseller of our systems under a master agreement expiring in September 2010.  Our agreement with that customer requires us to provide installation, user training, service and support at contractual rates, but only to customers in specified geographical locations.  For these sales, revenues on the system license element of the transaction are recognized upon shipment to the reseller.  Revenues associated with implementation services and PCS are initially deferred and recognized at the time of performance, or at such time that we determine such services are unlikely to be utilized.

We also previously sold systems on a fee per use basis.  We recognize revenue on those systems when usage is reported or when additional units are purchased.  If we have no contact or other indications of usage for two years, we recognize any remaining deferred revenue.

Post-Contract Support:  Our PCS includes technical support and rights to unspecified enhancements and minor upgrades, if and when issued.  Fees from PCS contracts are recognized as revenues ratably over the term of the PCS.  The value ascribed to PCS bundled with new end-user licenses was based upon the average realized fee for PCS sold to renewal customers for a period prior to our conclusion that VSOE had been established.  Our agreement with our major customer provides a two tier rate structure, depending on the end user’s operating environment.  VSOE for transactions with our major customer has been based on a weighted average of the contractual rates for PCS.

Services, Equipment and Accessories:  Revenues are recognized at the time of delivery.

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid securities and debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are pledged as collateral under the Company’s credit agreements.  As discussed in Note 8, the Company’s credit agreements require the Company to maintain certain minimum cash balances.  As a result, we maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We do not believe we are exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institution in which those deposits are held.

Accounts receivable – The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from hospitals and radiology practices. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are generally due within thirty days and are stated at amounts due from customers. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is determined by considering a number of factors including the Company’s previous loss history and specific analysis of past-due receivables and customer financial condition.  Accounts receivable are written off when it is determined that collection is unlikely.  The allowance also includes a reserve for sales returns and other adjustments which is based on known and likely adjustments.

Concentrations – Essentially all of the Company’s revenues are directly or indirectly derived from its CADstream product.  Revenues attributable to Medical Imaging Education, LLC, Confirma Europe, LLC and Confirma GmbH collectively represent less than 5% of total revenues of the Company.

The Company had one customer representing approximately 36% and 25% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Accounts receivable from this customer represents 38% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2008.

Inventories – Inventories consist primarily of computer systems and related items are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value).  During 2008, the Company entered into a settlement on outstanding litigation with a vendor whereby the Company committed to purchasing $319,357 of product from that vendor within one year of the settlement date of November 18, 2008.  Due to concerns regarding the current marketability and realizable value of the product, at December 31, 2008 management accrued a liability and simultaneously recognized an impairment expense of $319,357 which was included in research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Property and equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is charged to operations over the estimated useful service period of assets using either the straight-line or accelerated methods. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The Company uses accelerated depreciation for tax purposes.

Software development costs – We account for software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed (“SFAS 86”). Costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and significant enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until the technological feasibility of the product has been established. Technological feasibility generally occurs shortly before our software products are released to production, and costs eligible for capitalization are therefore not material. Accordingly, except for a non-transferrable license for externally developed software purchased and related costs that are included in other assets, no software development costs were capitalized in 2009 or 2008.

Impairment of long-lived assets – The Company assesses the impairment of long- lived assets whenever events of changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. When such an event occurs, management determines whether impairment has occurred by comparing the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset to its carrying value. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence demand, competition and other economic factors. The amount of recognized impairment loss would be the excess of an asset’s carrying value over its fair value.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, $87,000 and $143,724, respectively, was established as a reserve for impairment of third-party software licensed for inclusion in Company products that had not been placed into service.  The impairment charges were included in research and development expense.

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Stock-based compensation – Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”).  Under this guidance, the Company recognized non-cash compensation expense for stock options by measuring the excess, if any, of the estimated fair value of the common stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock and amortizing that excess on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the applicable stock options.  Additional paid-in capital and deferred compensation were recorded at the date of the grants to reflect the intrinsic value of the awards.  Under APB 25, the deferred compensation was amortized to expense over the vesting periods on a straight-line basis, with adjustments to forfeitures as they occurred.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”) using the modified prospective transition method.  Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized on or after January 1, 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123R.  Results for prior periods were not restated.  Under SFAS 123R, compensation is recorded over the vesting period directly to additional paid-in capital.  Thus, upon adoption, the Company eliminated the deferred compensation balance related to employee stock options with an offsetting reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Income taxes – The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and on the expected future tax benefit to be derived from the net operating loss carryforward. Additionally, deferred tax items are measured using current rates. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Advertising – Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $1,722 and $9,540 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and are $4,059 and $18,900 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Shipping and handling fees – Shipping and handling fees charged to customers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 totaling $8,918 and $19,648 respectively, and $5,607 and $15,105 respectively, and are included in software license and maintenance revenue.  Shipping and handling costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 totaling $24,201and $48,315, respectively and, $31,362 and $58,836, respectively, are included in direct product and related expenses in the statements of operations.

Research and development costs – Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Use of estimates – In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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 those estimates.

Risk of technological change – The software development industry is characterized by rapid technological change, changes in customer requirements, frequent new service and product introductions and enhancements, and emerging industry standards. The introduction of services or products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and the practices can render existing services or products obsolete and unmarketable. The Company’s future success will depend, in part on its ability to develop leading technologies, enhance its existing services and products, and develop new services and products that address the increasingly sophisticated standards and practices on a timely and cost-efficient basis. If the Company is unable, for technical or other reasons, to develop and introduce new services and products or enhancements of existing services and products in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, or if new services and products do not achieve market acceptance, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results will be materially adversely affected.

Contingencies – In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies, the Company accrues estimated losses from loss contingencies when an identified loss is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Reclassifications – Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND PENDING MERGER

The Company’s product and market development efforts have consumed substantial amounts of cash and it has incurred significant operating losses since inception.  Indications are that operating losses may continue.  The Company has funded its activities to date primarily through the issuance of equity securities, sales of computer system licenses and related services, and borrowings from banks.

On August 7, 2009, the Company, Merge Healthcare Incorporated (“Merge”), and Merge Acquisition Corporation, a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Merge ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into Confirma, with Confirma surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merge. The Company expects the transaction to be completed in September 2009.  The aggregate consideration to be received by shareholders of Confirma is approximately $22 million, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement, which will be paid in the form of common stock of Merge.  The allocation of the proceeds among shareholders will be based on prioritizations set forth in the articles of incorporation, bylaws, investor rights agreements and related governing documents.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties. The Company has also agreed not to solicit or initiate discussions with third parties regarding other proposals to acquire Confirma and to certain restrictions on its ability to respond to such proposals. The Merger Agreement also includes customary termination provisions for the Company and Merge and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company will be required to pay Merge a termination fee of $1,500,000 or, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under other specified circumstances, Merge will be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $1,000,000.

In addition, certain shareholders of Confirma have agreed to enter into a voting agreement pursuant to which such shareholders have committed to vote in favor of the transaction at a special meeting of Confirma's shareholders called for the purposes of approving the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Such shareholders hold a sufficient number of shares of Confirma to approve the transaction.

The Company’s current business plans as an independent entity anticipate expenditures for product development and commercialization efforts during the next 12 months that are in excess of available capital, credit lines and expected cash flow from operations.   If the pending merger transaction were not to be completed as planned, the Company would need to obtain additional capital.  In the event additional needed capital cannot be obtained or obtained on terms acceptable to Company shareholders, the Company may be obliged to delay, reduce in scope, or terminate planned product development and commercialization efforts.

In connection with the transaction, the Company has incurred investment banking fees, and various other obligations that are contingent for the Company.  Other agreements entered into by the Company have contingent provisions that are triggered upon the sale of the Company or other events that may arise as a result of the transaction.  These contingent obligations will be recognized should the transaction be completed.  The transaction also accelerated the vesting of stock options outstanding.

FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

At the end of 2007, the Company owed $1,467,522 under a secured revolving credit line and $2,555,616 less unamortized discount of $119,768 on a term loan.  These loans were repaid in April 2008 with the proceeds from a new credit arrangement with another bank.

Under the new agreement, the Company obtained a $2,400,000 term loan, repayable in 30 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest commencing in January 2009. Interest on the term loan accrues at a rate equal to 1.00% over the prime rate (5.00% at June 30, 2009). Borrowings under the new $4,000,000 revolving credit line permit borrowing of up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and bear interest at 0.50% over the prime rate (4.50% at June 30, 2009). The loans are secured by a blanket lien on all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets and require the Company to maintain a minimum cash balance of $5,000,000 in accounts with the lender and obtain lender approval prior to undertaking major corporate actions and timely filing of financial statements.

Effective January 2009, the agreement was amended.  The amended terms reduce the revolving line of credit to $2,500,000, with borrowings available under the line limited to 75% of eligible accounts, as defined.  The agreement also requires the Company to maintain certain financial liquidity ratios and achieve other milestones.  The maturity date of the revolving line of credit was extended to May 31, 2009.  The amendment also revised the minimum cash balance requirement to require a minimum amount equivalent to the amount outstanding under the term loan.

At various times through April 23, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with certain requirements under the credit agreement.  On May 20, 2009, the Company and the bank entered into an amendment agreement that waived the prior defaults, established revised requirements, and extended the maturity date of the revolving line of credit to August 31, 2009.  This amendment also increased the rate charged to prime rate plus 3.0% on the revolving line of credit and prime rate plus 3.5% on the term loan.

Future minimum payments due under the new term loan for the twelve month periods ending June 30 are as follows:

2010
  $ 960,000  
2011
    960,000

CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In 2005, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $1,010,599, and issued warrants to purchase 1,684,332 shares of the Company’s common stock. The notes were due and payable, upon demand by the holder, at any time after one year from the date of issuance or upon an event of default as defined in the agreement.  The notes bore interest at 8% per annum; and are secured by all assets of the Company, but are subordinated to the security agreement in connection with the line of credit and term loan (see Note 8).

In 2006, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $2,000,000, and issued warrants to purchase 324,324 shares of the Company’s common stock. The notes were due and payable, upon demand by the holder, at any time after one year from the date of issuance or upon an event of default as defined in the agreement.  The notes bore interest at 8% per annum; and were secured by all assets of the Company, but are subordinated to the security agreement in connection with the line of credit and term loan (see Note 8).

During 2007, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $3,000,000, and issued warrants to purchase 486,486 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock.  The notes were due and payable on December 31, 2007, bore interest at 8% per annum; and were secured by all assets of the Company, but were subordinated to the security agreement in connection with the line of credit and term loan (see Note 8).  In December 2007, in anticipation of the impending Series C issuance, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $430,000.

The notes and detachable warrants were accounted for under the provisions of APB Opinion 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants, EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27: Application of Issue No.98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.

In 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, $515,834, $162,783, and $326,636 of debt proceeds was attributed to the warrants and the same amount was allocated to the embedded beneficial conversion feature contained in the debt, resulting in total debt discounts of $1,031,668, $325,566, and $653,272 with corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. The total debt discount from the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature were amortized to interest expense over the term of the underlying debt using the effective interest method.

Concurrent with the December 2007 sale of Series C preferred stock (See Note 11), substantially all of the convertible note principal and related accrued interest was converted into 21,661,436 shares of Series B-1 preferred stock and 21,066,478 shares of Series C preferred stock.

Authorized stock – The Company has authorized for issuance 541,483,009 shares of no par value capital stock, consisting of 241,483,009 shares of preferred stock and 300,000,000 shares of common stock. Of the preferred shares, the Company has designated three series of convertible preferred stock: 19,403,295 shares as Series A-1, 132,079,714 shares as Series B-1, and 90,000,000 shares as Series C.

Liquidation preference – In the event of certain liquidating transactions, the holders of Series C preferred stock are entitled to receive an amount up to $0.1728 per share in lieu of converting shares into common stock. Holders of Series A-1 and B-1 preferred stock are entitled to receive, in lieu of conversion into common shares, an amount equal to $0.1728 per share from any funds remaining after satisfaction of the Series C preference.  If funds available after satisfaction of the Series C preference are insufficient to permit the payment of the total A-1 and B-1 preference amounts, the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution will be shared ratably among the A-1 and B-1 preferred stockholders. If funds remain after payment of the preferred stock preference amounts, all such remaining assets are to be distributed ratably to the common stock holders.

Conversion – Each share of Series A-1, B-1, and C preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder into common stock, at rates subject to certain adjustments based on subsequent sales of equity securities. Each share of preferred stock automatically converts into shares of common stock upon a qualified public offering or written consent of 66-2/3% of the holders of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock voting together as a single class. At June 30, 2009, each share of preferred stock was convertible into one share of common stock.

Redemption – Upon the receipt of a written request of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series C preferred on or after March 21, 2012, the Company shall redeem all Series C preferred stock outstanding at a price equal to $0.1728 per share plus all declared and unpaid dividends. The redemption price is payable within thirty days after receipt of the redemption notice. The Company shall notify Series A-1 and B-1 preferred stock holders upon the receipt of a Series C redemption request. At which time Series A-1 and B-1 shareholders, voting as separate classes, may with a 66-2/3% vote to elect to participate in the redemption request. If funds legally available for the redemption of shares is insufficient to redeem the total number of electing shares, those funds will be used first to redeem Series C preferred shares, thereafter, the Series A-1 and B-1 preferred, on a pari passu basis, together as a single class. The shares of any electing series not redeemed remain outstanding and are entitled to their original rights, preferences, and privileges. At any time thereafter when additional funds are available for the redemption of the electing series, such funds will be immediately used to redeem the balance of the shares.

Voting rights – Each holder of preferred stock shall have the right to vote for each share of common stock into which such preferred stock is convertible.  Certain stockholders have entered into a voting agreement that provides certain representation within the Board of Directors (“the Board”) for specified investors.

Dividend rights – Each preferred stock shall rank on parity with respect to the payment of dividends.  The preferred stock holders are entitled to receive dividends out of any assets legally available, when, as and if declared by the Board.  No dividend shall be paid with respect to any common stock unless the preferred stock holders are first paid all declared and unpaid dividends.  The right to dividends is not cumulative.  After payment of preferred stock dividends, any additional dividends or distributions shall be distributed among the holders of preferred and common stock pro rata based on the number of shares of common stock then held by each holder (assuming conversion of all preferred stock into common stock).

STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company has adopted two stock option plans, the 1998 Stock Option Plan (“1998 Plan”) and the 2000 Stock Option Plan (“2000 Plan”) providing for the granting of options to purchase shares of common stock to officers, employees, members of the board, consultants, and advisors. The Company had reserved 700,000 shares of common stock for issuance under each of the plans, and any remaining shares available for grant under the 1998 Plan are also available for purposes of granting under the 2000 Plan. In November 2002, the Board increased the number of options available for grant to a total of 2,700,000, inclusive of the stock options then remaining outstanding under the 1998 Plan. In 2005, the Company’s articles of incorporation were amended which increased the number of options available for grant to a total of 4,200,000 options under these plans.  During 2006 the total number of options available for grant was increased to 5,200,000.  During 2007 the total number of commons stock reserved and available for issuance under the plans was increased to 42,145,417.

The Board is authorized to administer both of the plans, and establish the stock option terms, including the grant price and vesting period. Options granted generally vest and become exercisable ratably over four years of continued employment or service as defined in each option agreement. Options granted may be designated as qualified or nonqualified at the discretion of the Board. Options granted are exercisable over a period of time, not to exceed ten years, and are subject to other terms and conditions as determined by the Board.

STOCK OPTION PLANS, continued

During 1998, the Company granted 480,000 stock options to its former Chief Executive Officer and 831,500 stock options to the Company’s founder who is also a member of the Board and serves as a consultant to the Company. These option grants are outside of the 1998 Plan. In June 2004, 330,000 stock options granted to its former Chief Executive Officer expired and are no longer available for exercise.  During 2008 the 831,500 options granted to the Company’s founder expired and are no longer available for exercise.

During 2001, the Board approved a resolution to the 2000 Plan, which provides for acceleration of vesting upon the completion of a corporate transaction, as defined in the 2000 Plan. The resolution requires 50% acceleration of unvested options for certain employees with less than one year of employment as of August 21, 2001 and 100% acceleration of unvested options for certain employees with over one year of employment as of August 21, 2001. During 2003, the Board approved an additional resolution to the 2000 Plan, which provides for the full acceleration upon a sale of the Company or similar transactions and any forfeiture provisions to which such shares are subject shall lapse. In such case, the 2000 Plan participants will be notified that the unvested portion of the option is exercisable for a specified time period, after which, provided the transaction has occurred, all options shall terminate and cease to remain outstanding.

During 2008, the Company tendered an offer to existing option holders whereby existing option holders were given the opportunity to exchange their existing options for options to purchase a greater number of shares at an exercise price of $0.08 per share.  Vesting and expiration of the new options were a continuation of each holder’s prior option holdings. The incremental cost of the option exchange was approximately $212,000.

The fair value for options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The total compensation expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 related to options granted to employees was $70,000 and $140,681, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $200,465 and $260,431, respectively.  In calculating stock-based compensation expense, the Company used an estimated forfeiture rate of 14% in 2009 and 2008.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 (as amended) and EITF Issue no. 96-18 Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with, Selling Goods or Services.  All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued, which the Company deems more reliably measurable than the fair value of consideration received.  The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which counterparty’s performance, or obligation to perform, is complete or the date on which it is probable that the performance will occur.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized  $0 and $337, respectively, and $6,098 and $7,368, respectively, in general and administrative expense related to options granted to non-employees.

Management evaluates the appropriateness of its underlying assumptions annually and allocates fair value changes from the preceding measurement ratably through the year.  To assist in validating its assumptions in 2006, the Company obtained a valuation of the Company’s common stock from an external valuation firm.  Working with management, the valuation firm identified a peer group of publicly traded companies.  Valuation calculations, including volatility, were based on that peer group.  In 2009 and 2008, valuation assumptions were determined by management based on information contained in the 2006 analysis and the value of shares implied by the Series C preferred stock offering.

Options with graded vesting are valued as single awards and expensed using the straight-line attribution method over the vesting period.   During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued 82,000 shares of common stock, resulting from the exercise of stock options.  As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options totals $260,750 and $636,140, respectively.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.046 and $0.018, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method as described by SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”).  The following are significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets computed at the tax rate of 34% at June 30:

Net deferred tax assets
  $ -     $ -  

The Company recognized net taxable income of approximately $1,300,000 during the period ended June 30, 2009.  That amount was offset by utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.  The Company has recognized a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefits of the assets. The valuation allowance decreased by $32,000 and increased by $1,382,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, based on management’s estimate of the expected realization of the net deferred tax assets.

At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $41,928,000 and $43,929,000, respectively, available to offset future income, which begin to expire in 2018.  General business credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2018.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by carryforwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50% change in ownership). As a result of these provisions, utilizations of the net operating loss and tax credit carryovers may be limited.

Employment agreement – The Company has entered into an employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer which provides for a severance package equal to nine months of salary should his employment be terminated without cause. The agreement also provides for acceleration of stock options, which would have otherwise vested over a six month period after the termination date, and certain other matters.

Future payroll taxes – The Company is subject to employer payroll taxes when employees exercise stock options. The payroll taxes are assessed on the stock option gain, which is the difference between the common stock price on the date of exercise and the exercise price. The tax rate varies depending upon the employees’ taxing jurisdiction. The timing and amount of employer payroll taxes is directly related to the timing and number of options exercised by employees, the gain thereon, and the tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction. The Company has not recorded any employer payroll taxes related to stock option exercises as no options have been exercised at a price greater than the estimated common stock valuation.  Because the Company is unable to predict the timing and amount of these future employer payroll taxes, no accrual has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
