NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY

Nature of Operations

TherapeuticsMD, Inc. ("Therapeutics” or the “Company”) has two wholly owned subsidiaries, vitaMedMD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company incorporated on May 13, 2008 ("VitaMed”) and BocaGreenMD, Inc., a Nevada corporation, incorporated on January 10, 2012 ("BocaGreen”).

Therapeutics is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on creating safe and effective therapies exclusively for women, including (i) prenatal and women’s multi-vitamins, (ii) iron, calcium and vitamin D supplements, (iii) natural (non-hormonal) menopause relief and (iv) scar reduction creams.  The Company also has three hormone replacement therapy ("HRT”) drug candidates that have received Investigational New Drug Application ("IND”) acceptance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA”). The current product lines of the Company are sold through VitaMed and BocaGreen. We have a national sales force that calls on physicians and pharmacies and markets prescription prenatal vitamins, over-the-counter ("OTC”) nutritional supplements and other medical products through pharmacies and our website with the recommendation of physicians by creating a unique value proposition for patients, physician/providers and insurance payors. Our primary objective is to be the sole prenatal vitamin brand recommended by physicians to all their patients by becoming the new standard in prenatal vitamins with a complete line of personal products all under one quality brand.
 
New Products

The Company filed three Investigational New Drug applications ("INDs”) in 2012, all of which have been accepted by the FDA for hormone therapy. These drugs are known as TX12001HR, a combined progestin and estrogen drug candidate, TX12002HR, a progestin only drug candidate and TX12003HR, an estrogen only drug candidate. Since these INDs have been accepted by the FDA, Phase I and III clinical trials may be commenced. The Company anticipates beginning these trials in the near future.  Upon completion, the Company may seek FDA approval for these drug candidates.

On November 6, 2012, the Company released three products in its BocaGreen generic prescription line, namely: BocaGreenMD™ Prena1, BocaGreenMD™ Prena1 Plus, and BocaGreenMD™ Prena1 Chew.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred a loss from operations of approximately $10,753,000, had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $8,399,000 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $46,386,000.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans include raising additional proceeds from debt and equity transactions and to continue to increase its sales and marketing activities, however, there are no assurances that management will be successful in their efforts.  The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Therapeutics have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP”) for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the financial information included herein in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  The balance sheet at December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect that the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, vitaMed and BocaGreen.  BocaGreen began operations in November 2012.  All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability is reasonably assured.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition (continued)

Over The Counter Products

The Company generates OTC revenue by sales of products primarily to retail consumers.  The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment, when the rights of ownership and risk of loss have passed to the consumer.  Outbound shipping and handling fees are included in sales and are billed upon shipment.  Shipping expenses are included in cost of sales.  The majority of the Company’s sales are paid with credit cards and the Company usually receives the cash settlement in two to three banking days.  Credit card sales minimize accounts receivable balances relative to sales.  We provide an unconditional thirty-day money-back return policy whereby we accept product returns from our retail and eCommerce customers.  The Company’s revenue from OTC sales is recognized net of returns, sales discounts, and eCommerce fees.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded an allowance for returns of $34,713 and $0, respectively.  The Company estimates the allowance for returns based on historical return activity, which is reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, on a quarterly basis.

Prescription Products

The Company’s name brand and generic prescription products are sold primarily through drug wholesalers and retail pharmacies. The Company’s revenue from prescription product sales is recognized net of sales discounts and end-user rebates.

The Company accepts returns of unsalable product from customers within a return period of six months prior to and following product expiration.  The Company’s prescription products currently have a shelf-life of 24 months from date of manufacture.  Given the limited history of prescriptions products, the Company currently cannot reliably estimate expected returns of the prescription products at the time of shipment.  Accordingly, the Company defers recognition of revenue on prescription products until the right of return no longer exists, which occurs at the earlier of the time the prescription products are dispensed through patient prescriptions or expiration of the right of return.  As a result of this policy, the Company has a deferred revenue balance of approximately $702,000 and $0 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The Company maintains various rebate programs in an effort to maintain a competitive position in the marketplace and to promote sales and customer loyalty.  The rebate program is designed to enable the end-user to return a coupon to the Company.  If the coupon qualifies, the Company sends a rebate check to the end-user.  The Company estimates the allowance for rebates based on industry averages, which is reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, on a quarterly basis.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded rebate expense of $19,915 and $0, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories represent packaged nutritional products and supplements which are valued at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method.  The costs of manufacturing the prescription products associated with the deferred revenue (as discussed in Revenue Recognition) are recorded as deferred costs, which are included in inventory, until such time as the related deferred revenue is recognized.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Use of Estimates

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We evaluate our estimates, including those related to contingencies, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Issuance of February 2012 Notes

On February 24, 2012, the Company sold and issued the February 2012 Notes to an individual and an entity (the “Parties”), both of which are shareholders of the Company, in the principal base amount of $1,358,014 and $1,357,110 respectively (the “Principal Base Amount(s)”) and granted Warrants for the purchase in the aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (4,500,000 to each Party) (the “February 2012 Warrants”) pursuant to the terms of a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) also dated February 24, 2012.  As consideration for the February 2012 Notes and the February 2012 Warrants, the Company received an aggregate of $1,000,000 of new funding from the Parties (the “February Funding”) and the Parties surrendered certain promissory notes previously issued by the Company in the amount of $1,700,000 plus accrued interest of $15,124 (collectively known as the “Prior Notes”).  The Company granted 5,685,300 Warrants in consideration of the modification of the Prior Notes and 3,314,700 Warrants with the February Funding.  The Company determined that the resulting modification of the Prior Notes was substantial in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments.”  As such the modification was accounted for as an extinguishment and restructuring of the debt, and the 5,685,300 warrants issued were expensed. The fair value of the Prior Notes was estimated by calculating the present value of the future cash flows discounted at a market rate of return for comparable debt instruments to be $1,517,741, resulting in a debt discount of $197,384 to be amortized over the term of the February 2012 Notes.  As a result of the surrender of the February 2012 Notes on June 19, 2012 (see Issuance of June 2012 Notes below), the Company expensed the remaining unamortized debt discount.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company recorded interest expense totaling $197,384 related to the Prior Notes.  The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $10,307,864 which represented the fair value of the 5,685,300 warrants net of the difference between the carrying amount of the Prior Notes and their fair value as of the date of the modification.

The Company determined the relative fair value of the 3,314,700 Warrants granted with the February Funding to be $859,647 and recorded the amount as debt discount to be amortized over the term of the February 2012 Notes.  As a result of the surrender of the February 2012 Notes on June 19, 2012 (see Issuance of June 2012 Notes below), the Company expensed the remaining unamortized debt discount.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount totaling $859,647 related to the February 2012 Notes.

Under the February 2012 Notes, the Parties loaned the Company an additional $2,000,000 during March, April, and May 2012.

On June 19, 2012 the Company settled $3,102,000 in principle and interest of the February 2012 Notes in exchange for the exercise of 8,145,486 Common Stock purchase warrants.  As discussed below, the remaining balance of $2,691,847 of the February 2012 Notes was modified on June 19, 2012 through the issuance of secured promissory notes (the “June 2012 Notes”).

Conversion of July 2011 Secured Notes

In July 2011, VitaMed sold two senior secured promissory notes (the “Secured Notes”) in the amount of $500,000 each and also entered into a security agreement under which VitaMed pledged all of its assets to secure the obligation. The Secured Notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum, are due on the one year anniversary thereof, and are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the option of the Company.  The Company may pay the Secured Notes by delivering such number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as shall be determined by dividing the outstanding principal then due and owing by the Company’s Share Price.  For purposes of the Secured Notes, the “Share Price” shall mean the lower of the most recent price at which the Company offered and sold shares of its Common Stock (not including any shares issued upon the exercise of options and/or warrants or upon the conversion of any convertible securities) or the five-day average closing bid price immediately preceding the date of conversion.  On June 19, 2012, the Company and the Parties agreed to convert the Secured Notes, and according to the terms thereof, aggregated principal and interest through June 19, 2012 of $1,054,647 was converted at $0.38 per share into an aggregate of 2,775,415 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  This resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of $6,716,504 as recorded in other income and expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded an aggregate of $33,204 as interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Common Stock

At September 30, 2012, the Company had 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value authorized, with 99,784,982 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Warrants

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock purchase warrants ("Warrants”) is the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model ("Black-Scholes Model”).  The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate and the term of the Warrant.  The weighted average fair value per share of Warrants granted and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Model during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are described below.  The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term.  Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the term of the award.  The Company’s estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of the stock prices of its peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available.  The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices over a period equal to the term of the awards.  The Company used the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price.

Warrants Issued in Conjunction with Debt

On February 24, 2012, the Company granted an aggregate of 5,685,300 Warrants in connection with the modification of certain existing promissory notes (the “Modification Warrants”), and 3,314,700 Warrants with the issuance of secured promissory notes (see NOTE 9 – NOTES PAYABLE, Issuance of February 2012 Notes).  Both the Modification Warrants and the February 2012 Warrants are exercisable at $0.38.  The Modification Warrants’ fair value of $10,505,247 and the February 2012 Warrants’ fair value of $6,124,873 was determined by using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of the grant.  Both valuations used a term of 5 years; a volatility of 44.5%; risk free rate of 0.89%; and a dividend yield of 0%.  The Company recorded the fair value of the Modification Warrants as part of the loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  The relative fair value of the February 2012 Warrants of $859,647 was recorded as debt discount.  As a result of the surrender of the February 2012 Notes on June 19, 2012, the Company expensed the remaining unamortized debt discount.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company recorded amortizarion of debt discount totaling $859,647 related to the February 2012 Notes.

On June 19, 2012, the Company granted an aggregate of 7,000,000 Warrants in connection with the issuance of secured promissory notes (the “June 2012 Warrants”) (see NOTE 9 – NOTES PAYABLE, Issuance of June 2012 Notes).  Of the 7,000,000 June 2012 Warrants, 6,000,000 are exercisable at $2.00 and 1,000,000 are exercisable at $3.00.  The fair value of the June 2012 Warrants of $9,424,982 was determined by using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of the grant.  The Warrants were valued on the date of the grant using a term of 5 years; a volatility of 44.64%; risk free rate of 0.75%; and a dividend yield of 0%.  The relative fair value of the June 2012 Warrants of $1,649,890 was

Share-based compensation expense for Options recognized in our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 ($1,004,472 and $166,233, respectively) is based on awards vested and we estimated no forfeitures.  ASC 718-10, “Stock Compensation” requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates.

At September 30, 2012, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to non-vested Options granted prior to that date was approximately $1,730,000 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. No tax benefit was realized due to a continued pattern of operating losses.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company does not expect to pay any significant federal or state income tax for 2012 as a result of the losses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, additional losses expected for the remainder of 2012 as well as from net operating loss carry forwards from prior years. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2012, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets. Based on these requirements, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been recorded. There were no recorded unrecognized tax benefits at the end of the reporting period.

General

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management of the Company believes to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

These forward-looking statements include statements relating to our belief that we will further differentiate our products from the competition, our expectation to begin clinical trials in the near future, our plans to file New Drug Applications ("NDA”), our planned use of proceeds from our private placement transaction, our lack of financial resources, our belief that we will be able to raise capital to execute our business, our expectations of research and development expenditures, our estimation of inventory growth, our belief that we will be able to meet the costs of growth and public reporting and our belief regarding securing required financing. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company also has three hormone replacement therapy ("HRT”) drug candidates that have received Investigational New Drug Application ("IND”) acceptance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA”). The current product lines of the Company are sold through VitaMed and BocaGreen. We have a national sales force that calls on physicians and pharmacies and markets prescription prenatal vitamins, over-the-counter ("OTC”) nutritional supplements and other medical products through pharmacies and our website with the recommendation of physicians by creating a unique value proposition for patients, physician/providers and insurance payors. Our primary objective is to be the sole prenatal vitamin brand recommended by physicians to all their patients by becoming the new standard in prenatal vitamins with a complete line of personal products all under one quality brand.

We began the development of our prescription women’s health products in 2011 and continue our product development efforts for both new products and refinements to existing products. The Company seeks proprietary ingredients and formulations that can be exclusively licensed or patented for use in women’s healthcare that we believe will further differentiate our products from the competition.

Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $496,000, or approximately 92%, from the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was directly attributable to the (i) increase in the number of sales territories, (ii) the associated increase in number of sales people selling in those territories and (iii) the new prescription product introduced in March 2012. Cost of goods sold increased $65,000, or approximately 27%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue was 30% and 45% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Approximately 51% of this increase was due to an increase in the amount of product sold and approximately 49% of the increase was related to product mix. The Company’s costs of individual products did not change for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011.

Product design and development costs increased as a direct result of our new hormone replacement therapy and prescription prenatal products.

Professional fees increased primarily due to higher legal fees arising from contract and patent services and public company filing related costs (approximately $116,000). Consulting costs were also higher as a result of new product development, opening new sales territories and the additional resources needed for public company filings (approximately $97,000).

Sales and marketing costs increased due to the addition of new sales territories and expanded client education.

Non-cash costs were higher as the result of the Warrants issued for services (approximate fair value of $68,000) and additional costs related to the issuance of Options (approximate fair value of $503,000).

Other Income (Expense), net

Other non-operating expense increased by approximately $324,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 in comparison to the same period in 2011 due primarily to the addition of amortization of debt discount not incurred during 2011.

Non-cash costs were higher as the result of the Warrants issued for services (approximate fair value of $236,000) and additional costs related to the issuance of Options (approximate fair value of $863,000).

Loss on extinguishment of debt

In February 2012 (as described above), the Company issued the February 2012 Notes in the aggregate of approximately $2,700,000 and granted the February 2012 Warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares. As consideration for the February 2012 Notes and the February 2012 Warrants, the Company received $1,000,000 of new funding and the surrender of certain promissory notes previously issued by the Company in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,700,000 (the “Prior Notes”). The Company determined that the resulting modification of the February 2012 Notes was substantial in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments.” As such the modification was accounted for as an extinguishment and restructuring of the debt, and the February 2012 Warrants issued, valued at approximately $10,500,000, were expensed as loss on the extinguishment of debt. The relative fair value of the Prior Notes was estimated to be $1,500,000 by calculating the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of return for comparable debt instruments. The Company recognized a reduction in loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $200,000, which represented the difference between the net carrying amount of the February Funding and its fair value. See NOTE 9 – NOTES PAYABLE and NOTE 10 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY, Warrants in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for more details.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

Beneficial conversion feature of approximately $6,717,000 consists of non-cash costs associated with the conversion of approximately $1,055,000 in debt into 2,775,415 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other non-operating expense increased by approximately $1,357,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in comparison to the same period in 2011 due primarily to the addition of amortization of debt discount not incurred during 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,196,000, our accumulated deficit was approximately $46,386,000 and our stockholders’ deficit was approximately $4,334,000. We began the operation of our current business plan in June 2008 and have not yet attained a level of revenue to allow us to meet our current overhead and there is no assurance that such a level can ever be achieved. We currently do not have financial resources adequate for the next twelve-month period.

We are dependent upon obtaining additional financing in order to adequately fund working capital, drug development, infrastructure, manufacturing expenses and significant marketing/investor related expenditures to gain market recognition so that we can achieve a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure, none of which can be assured.

We expect to spend substantial amounts on research and development, including amounts spent on conducting clinical trials for our product candidates. Further, we do not have sufficient resources to develop fully any new products or product candidates unless we are able to raise substantial additional financing on acceptable terms or secure funds from new or existing partners.
 
 
32

 

We expect to increase the market penetration of our current products and expand our product base of prescription products which will necessitate an increase in inventory levels.

We believe that we will be able to meet the costs of growth and public reporting with funds generated through debt and equity financing and operations.

We cannot be assured that financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. If additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Additionally, these conditions may increase costs to raise capital and/or result in further dilution. Our failure to raise capital when needed would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and could force us to reduce or cease our operations. If additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Even if we are successful in raising additional capital to meet our obligations and otherwise continue operations, our business will still require substantial additional investment that we have not yet secured.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

New Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as summarized in Note B of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company does not expect that the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and as such, is not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions in connection with required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Robert G. Finizio and Daniel A. Cartwright, currently serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer respectively, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, they concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC’s rules and forms. This conclusion is based on findings that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These material weaknesses include our inability to achieve the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will continue to perform or supervise the performance of additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including detailed validation work with regard to balance sheet account balances, additional analysis on income statement amounts and managerial review of all significant account balances and disclosures, to ensure that the Company’s Quarterly and Annual Reports and the financial statements forming part thereof are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Except as provided in this paragraph, the existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive against the Company, whether based on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not create a defense to the enforcement by the Company of any restrictive covenant contained herein.
 
12.8 The Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Agreement, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of the Company’s obligations to make the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Agreement.

12.10 Review by Counsel. Prior to executing this Agreement, Executive agrees that he has consulted with his attorney who represents his interests and who has fully and completely explained the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the obligations created herein.
