NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

Item 1. ORGANIZATION, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Prior to January 1, 2004, Power3 Medical Products, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Power3” or “the Company”), formerly known as Surgical Safety Products, was primarily engaged in product development, sales, distribution and services for the healthcare industry.  During this period, the Company was in a prior development stage, marketing devices to aid surgical procedures.  In early 2004, Power3 became aware of a biotech company that appeared to have a set of assets and intellectual properties that it required to more effectively pursue its business model.  That company, named Advanced BioChem, doing business as ProteEx, provided contract-for-fee lab services analyzing protein biomarkers. At the conclusion of negotiations with Advanced BioChem, Power3 entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 18, 2004, whereby it purchased substantially all the assets and intellectual properties of Advanced BioChem, and assumed certain liabilities, as scheduled in the agreement, from Advanced BioChem. After the transaction, certain employees from Advanced BioChem became employees of Power3 and were later issued Employment Agreements by Power3.  As consideration in the Asset Purchase Agreement, Power3 issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock to Advanced BioChem.

 

Power3 Medical Products, Inc. did not continue the business activity of Advanced BioChem and never conducted any contract-for-fee lab service work whatsoever.  Subsequent to the asset purchase, the business model of Power3 was significantly changed and expanded to become the commercialization of the intellectual property acquired in the transaction, with its focus in the early detection, monitoring and targeting of diseases through the analysis of proteins.  Power3’s new developmental stage objective, and activity, is to develop its intellectual properties by focusing on disease diagnosis, protein and biomarker identification and early detection indicators in the areas of cancers, neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases, as well as other scientific areas of interest associated with protein biomarkers.

 

Previously the Company was the sole shareholder in a subsidary, TenthGate, Inc., a Nevada corporation, although it was not active in Power3’s current line of business activity.  As part of the acquisition of the assets of Advanced BioChem, it was contemplated that Power3 would distribute shares of TenthGate to its shareholders of record prior to the Advanced BioChem transaction.  Previous management of Power3 and TenthGate, have been independently operating TenthGate since the Advanced BioChem transaction.  The Company feels that its business focus and strategy is significantly different from that of TenthGate, and the disposition of TenthGate will allow the Company’s management to focus exclusively on its business objectives and operation and allow the market to separately identify and evaluate each business.  Current management of TenthGate has advised the Company that TenthGate has issued a significant number of shares of its common stock, thereby reducing the Company’s ownership interest to less than 1%.  In addition, counsel for TenthGate has advised the Company that, on August 19, 2005, TenthGate, Inc. was merged with and into Edmonds 5, Inc.  The Company is considering its alternatives with respect to these action and still desires to complete a divestiture of any interest it may have remaining in TenthGate, Inc.

 

The consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flow included herein are unaudited, but include, in the opinion of management, all the adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future interim period or for a full year.

Restatement of Financial Statements

 

On May 18, 2004, Power3 executed the Asset Purchase Agreement (“the Agreement”) referred to above, to purchase substantially all the assets of Advanced BioChem and assume certain liabilities in exchange for the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of common stock of Power3.  For financial statement purposes, the transaction was initially reported as a recapitalization of the equity structure of Power3 and therefore, the accumulated deficit of Power3 was eliminated, no stock-based expenses were recorded as a result of this transaction, and the assets and liabilities of Power3 and Advanced BioChem were combined, based on the accounting treatment of recapitalization, as in a reverse acquisition.   Subsequent to the filing of Form 10-QSB and Amendment No. 1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, during its interim revue, management determined that the purchase of assets and the acquisition of certain liabilities of Advanced BioChem, which occurred on May 18, 2004, should have been accounted for as a purchase transaction, in a related party transaction.  As a result, all financial statements of the Company have been reported under the revised accounting treatment since the date of the Advanced BioChem transaction on May 18, 2004.

 

Specifically, on August 10, 2005, the Company issued an 8-K reporting non-reliance on previously issued financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004 and March 31, 2005, which had been presented under the previous accounting treatment.  On September 9, 2005, the Company filed amended Form 10-QSB’s for the quarterly periods ending June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004 and March 31, 2005.  In addition, on September 9, 2005, the Company filed its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, under the restated accounting treatment discussed above.

 

Since Power3’s planned principal operations have not yet commenced, it was and is considered to be in the developmental stage, as of May 18, 2004, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7.  Accordingly, some of the Company’s accounting policies and procedures have not yet been established.  The Company has been in its current developmental stage since its acquisition of its set of intellectual properties on May 18, 2004.

 

Deemed Distribution

 

During the 2nd Quarter of 2004, the Company issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock as consideration for a set of assets and liabilities purchased from Advanced BioChem in the asset purchase transaction of May 18, 2004.  Because this transaction was between individuals and entities considered to be related parties, under the rules of the SEC, the assets are recorded at historical cost and the amount in excess of historical cost is considered to be a deemed distribution to the shareholders. As part of that transaction, the Company recorded a deemed distribution of $ 13,371,776 as the difference between the market value of the stock at $0.90 per share on the date of the agreement ($13,500,000) and $128,224, debt in excess of the assets received in the transaction.

 

During the 4th Quarter of 2004, the Company converted Series A Preferred Stock owned by former management of the Company to common shares, per the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock held by these individuals (Novak, Gray and Leonard.)  As part of that transaction the Company recorded a deemed distribution of $3,380,975, the market value of the common shares issued at the date of issue of the common shares.  Since both of these deemed distributions occurred after May 18, 2004, the date the Company entered the development stage, the total of these two deemed distributions ($16,752,750) is included in the deficit accumulated during the development stage in the Balance Sheet of the Company as presented for December 31, 2004.  The total presented in the Balance Sheet for deficit accumulated during development stage of ($46,182,137) is the combined deemed distributions of ($16,752,750) and the net loss during development stage of ($29,429,387).

 

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include only the accounts of Power3.  TenthGate’s statement of condition and operating results are not consolidated, since the Company now owns less than

1% of TenthGate’s common stock outstanding and its financial results would not be consolidated, nor are they material to the financial statements of Power3.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instruction to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.  They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 

The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.  For further information, refer to the financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, including notes thereto, and/or the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, including notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the respective periods.

 

Professional Fees have been classified in the enclosed Statement of Operations as Other Operating Expenses.

 

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 certain 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. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions management is required to make.  Estimates that are critical to the accompanying financial statements include assessing the impact of contingencies and the amortization periods for the debt issuance costs and warrant expense relative to the convertible debentures as well as estimating depreciation and amortization periods of tangible and intangible assets, and long-lived impairments, among others.  Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

 

Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Management believes the book value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair values due to their short-term nature.  Management has used certain valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of the convertible debentures, loans and notes because of the lack of similar type arrangements in the marketplace.

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.  We occasionally maintain cash and cash equivalents balances in excess of federally insured limits.  We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Furniture, Fixtures and Lab Equipment

 

Furniture, fixtures and lab equipment are stated at cost.  Major additions are capitalized, while minor additions and maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of an asset, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives.  At September 30, 2005, certain lab equipment having a net book value of approximately $37,500 serves as security for certain liabilities.

Debt Acquisition Costs

 

Debt acquisition costs are being amortized over the maximum term of the convertible debentures of three years using the straight line method.

 

Unamortized Discount on Convertible Debentures and Warrants associated with this Issue

 

Unamortized discount resulting from the allocation of value to warrants and the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures is being amortized to interest expense over the contractual lives of the debentures using the interest method.

 

Amortization of Warrant Expense not related to Convertible Debentures

 

Unamortized warrant expense resulting from the issuance of warrants to consultants and allocation of value to these warrants is being amortized to stock compensation expense over the contractual lives of the warrants.

 

Other Intangibles

 

Other intangibles consist primarily of patents which are recorded at cost and arise from legal and filing fees.  Patents and other intangibles are being amortized over ten years on a straight-line basis.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets, including certain identifiable intangibles, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets in question may not be recoverable. The Company evaluated its long-lived assets at September 30, 2005 and determined that certain impairment losses were necessary. As a result, operations have been charged for $74,131 during the period May 18, 2004 (date of acquisition) to September 30, 2005.  Management believes that the remaining balances of the Company’s long-lived assets are recoverable at September 30, 2005.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”).  Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  In periods in which they would be anti-dilutive, common equivalent shares are ignored in the loss per share calculations.  As a result, basic and diluted net loss per share is identical for each of the periods in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Stock – Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for services based on the fair market value of the equity instruments issued and accounts for equity instruments issued to those other than employees based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable.  Fair value is measured herein as the closing market price of the common stock on the effective date of the agreement or Board resolution, rather than imputed value of the agreement or imputed services.

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS No. 148). This statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”. It provides alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for employee stock based compensation. It also amends the disclosure provision of FASB statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 123 and amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company continues to apply the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” to account for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company computes income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). The Company also prepares its income taxes in accordance with this standard. Under SFAS 109, deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Also, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. There were no significant temporary differences at September 30, 2005.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs, which approximated $342,531 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and the $200,001 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, are expensed as incurred.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Investments

 

The value of Power3’s investment in Tenthgate is considered to be minimal since the Company now owns less than 1% of the common stock and Power3 does not consider that inclusion of this minimal amount would significantly effect the financial statements

 

(2) GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the development stage and has primarily been involved in research and development and capital raising activities; as such the Company has incurred significant losses from operations and has a significant stockholders’ deficit at September 30, 2005.   As a result, the Company has an immediate need for capital to continue its operations, and it will need to raise significant additional funds to implement its business plan.  This cash will have to come from equity sales and/or borrowings as management has projected that the Company will need significant additional capital for development and other ongoing operational activities before it will have any anticipated revenue generating products. The actual amount of funds that the Company will need will be determined by many factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.  These factors include:

 

                  The extent to which the Company enters into licensing arrangements or joint ventures;

                  The progress and results of research and product development;

                  The costs and timing of obtaining new patent rights;

 

12



 

                  The extent to which the Company requires or licenses other technologies; and

                  Regulatory changes and competition and technological developments in the market.

 

A current possibility available to the Company is to raise the remaining funds of $1,600,000 potentially available to them pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 28, 2004 (the “Agreement”). These funds will be immediately reduced by the payment of certain delinquent payables of approximately $451,000 of bridge financing received in April and September, 2005, the $446,500 of bridge loan financing and Officer Advances that are to be repaid upon the receipt of the $1,600,000. The Company is in immediate need of capital to continue its operations and as such its ability to continue as a going concern is subject to its ability to generate a profit or obtain necessary funding from outside sources. Management believes that even though the Company currently has limited cash resources and liquidity, assuming funding of the additional $1,600,000 available from the existing convertible debenture holders as specified in the Agreement, that the net funds available from the final closing under such Agreement will allow the Company to continue operations through December 2005.  In the event the final closing and sale of $1,600,000 in aggregate principal amount of debentures occurs, but the warrants and additional investment rights are not exercised, the Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital prior to January, 2006 to meet its operating costs. However, the Company is currently in default under the conditions set forth in the Agreement as well as the debentures and registration rights agreement and consequently, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing the sale and issuance of the remaining $1,600,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures and/or the additional investments rights pursuant to the Agreement.  If the Company is unsuccessful in the closing of the sale and issuance of the $1,600,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures at the final closing, the Company will be required to obtain alternative financing, sell or license some of its technology, or curtail or cease its operations. Any such funding may significantly further dilute existing shareholders or may limit the Company’s rights to its technology.  Moreover, the increase in the number of shares available in the public marketplace may reduce the market price for the Company’s common stock, and consequently, the price investors may receive at the time of sale.  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 possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

(3)  LOSS PER SHARE

 

The following common equivalent shares have been excluded from the fully diluted loss per share calculations because the effects would be anti-dilutive;

 

                  2,500,000 warrants and additional investment rights which were issued to certain accredited investors on October 28, 2004 under the Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, the investors purchased certain convertible debentures that if exercised, will result in the issuance of an indeterminate number of shares of common stock.

 

                  333,333 warrants which were issued to certain accredited investors on January 26, 2005 under the Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, the investors purchased certain convertible debentures that if exercised, will result in the issuance of an indeterminate number of shares of common stock.

 

                  580,000 shares of warrants which were issued to members of the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board and various other consultants in 2004 (including 100,000 to the agent that placed the convertible debentures discussed above).  The warrants, which expire five years from the dates of the respective grants and were issued at no cost to such personnel, may be converted to a like number of shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to their expiration(s).  As a result, during the period May 18, 2004 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2004, the Company recorded $626,100 of stock based compensation as a result of the issuance of these warrants, which amounts represent the fair value of the warrants on the dates

 

13



 

they were granted.

 

(4)  INCOME TAXES

 

The Company recognized losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes during each of the periods in the accompanying statements of operations.  Accordingly, no provisions for income taxes and/or deferred income taxes payable have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements.

 

At September 30, 2005 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $12,957,858 arising primarily from stock based expenses that are considered to be permanent differences.  These net operating loss carryforwards expire at various times through the period ended December 31, 2010, however because the Company has experienced changes in control and has incurred significant operating losses, utilization of the income tax loss carryforwards are not assured. As a result, the non-current deferred income tax asset arising from these net operating loss carryforwards is not recorded in the accompanying balance sheet because the Company established a valuation allowance to fully reserve such assets as their realization did not meet the required asset recognition standard established by SFAS 109.

 

(5) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

 During the three months ended March 31, 2005 the chief financial officer at the time advanced $35,000 to the Company.  The advance, which is due on demand and unsecured, bears interest at 6% per annum.  At September 30, 2005, the balance of the advance is included in Officer Advances in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.

 

On May 31, 2005, the Company received an Officer Advance in the amount of $55,000.  This advance is in the form of a short-term Note Payable to the Officer, is payable on June 30, 2005, and bears interest at a rate of 6 % per annum until paid.

 

On June 3, 2005, the Company received an Officer Advance in the amount of $50,000.  This advance is in the form of a short-term Note Payable to the Officer, is payable on June 30, 2005, and bears interest at a rate of 6 % per annum until paid.

 

During September, 2005, the Company received Officer Advances in the amount of $100,000.  These advances were in the form of a short-term Note Payable, to the Officer, and are payable on March 6, 2006.  Should the principal not be repaid as of March 6, 2006, interest of 6% per year on any unpaid principal amount will be earned by the Payee until such time as all of the principal amount is repaid.

 

(6) NOTES PAYABLE

 

Certain notes payable existing at March 31, 2005 bear interest at a fixed rate of 6% and were scheduled to mature on December 31, 2004. However, the Company has entered into agreements with the note holders to extend the maturity of the notes through June 30, 2005.  In addition, the Company has the option to convert 75% of the notes into its common stock at a mutually agreeable conversion ratio.

 

On April 5, 2005, the Company received a bridge loan in the amount of $251,000.  This bridge loan is due and payable on the sooner of August 15, 2005 or one business day following the closing of the Company’s sale and issuance of the $1,600,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures which come due on August 15, 2005.  This bridge loan bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum which, at the holder’s option may be paid in (a) cash or (b) that number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing $251,000 by the common stock price on the date of payment and multiplying the quotient so obtained by 20%.   The due date for this note has now been extended to November 15, 2005, by amendment as discussed in the 8-K filed by the Company on September 9, 2005.

 

14



 

On June 17, 2005, the Company received a bridge loan in the amount of $396,500.  This bridge loan is in the form of a promissory note, payable on the sooner of August 15, 2005, or the fifth day following the effective date of the Company’s registration statement on Form SB-2.  The note is secured by a Stock Pledge Agreement, entered into on June 17, 2005, by the CEO of Power3, wherein the Pledger agreed to pledge 6,000,000 shares of common stock as security for the performance of the Company under the note.   The note bears no interest, other than in case of default, in which case the note shall bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum from the date such interest would be due.  On September 6, 2005, the parties to this promissory note agreed to amend the original note, thereby changing the amount to be repaid, by Power3, to $446,500 and changing the due date of the note to October 31, 2005.  All other provisions of the note remain in effect, as originally stated in the Note Payable and shown as an exhibit to the 8-K filed by the Company on September 9, 2005.  This note remains outstanding and unpaid at this time.

 

On September 5, 2005, the Company received a bridge loan in the amount of $200,000.  This bridge loan is due and payable within one business day following the closing of the Company’s sale and issuance of the $1,600,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 28, 2004, as amended.  If that closing, which is to occur within five trading days of the effectiveness of the Company’s pending registration statement on Form SB-2, does not occur on or before October 31, 2005, the entire unpaid principal balance will be due on October 31, 2005.  Interest is due on the note according to certain provisions as described in the note documents, shown as an exhibit to the 8-K filed by the Company on September 9, 2005.  This note remains outstanding and unpaid at this time.

 

(7) OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Lease

 

In August 2004, the Company entered into a new lease which expires on August 31, 2009, has an initial term of sixty-three months, and requires base monthly minimum lease payments ranging from approximately $6,000 to $9,600 (plus utilities and operating expenses) over the lease term.  The lease contains a provision which allows the Company to extend the lease for two additional terms of sixty months.  Rent expense, including utilities, approximated $17,447 and $75,233, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the period September 30, 2005 respectively.

 

Employment Agreements

 

The Company is obligated under amended and restated employment agreements with its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Financial Officer.   The significant terms of the agreements are as follows:

 

Chief Executive Officer – The amended and restated employment agreement is effective as of May 18, 2004 and has an initial term of five years, subject to each party’s termination rights.  The agreement provides for a base salary of $250,000 per year and the opportunity to receive cash bonuses based on performance upon the discretion of the board of directors.  The agreement also includes participation in employee benefit plans offered to employees, as well as a grant of 13,250,000 shares of restricted common stock and 1,500,000 shares of restricted Series B preferred stock (the Series B preferred shares have not yet been issued).  Either party may terminate the Chief Executive Officer’s employment under the contract, either with or without cause upon giving the other party at least thirty days notice.  If the Company terminates the chief executive officer’s employment at any time during the initial term without cause, he will be entitled to receive compensation provided under the agreement for the remaining initial term of employment.  In addition, in the event of a change in control as defined in the agreement, the Company may waive, in whole or in part, any and all remaining restrictions on the restricted shares of common stock and Series B preferred stock granted to him.

 

Chief Scientific Officer – The amended and restated employment agreement is effective as of May 18, 2004 and has an initial term of five years, subject to each party’s termination rights.  The agreement provides for a current base salary of $125,000 through December 18, 2004 and $100,000 thereafter and

 

15



 

the opportunity to receive cash bonuses based on performance upon the discretion of the board of directors.   The agreement also includes participation in employee benefit plans offered to employees, as well as a grant of 13,250,000 shares of restricted common stock and 1,500,000 shares of restricted Series B preferred stock (the Series B preferred shares have not yet been issued).  Either party may terminate the chief scientific officer’s employment under the contract, either with or without cause upon giving the other party at least thirty days notice.  If the Company terminates the Chief Scientific Officer’s employment at any time during the initial term without cause, he will be entitled to receive compensation provided under the agreement for the remaining initial term of employment.  In addition, in the event of a change in control as defined in the agreement, the Company may waive, in whole or in part, any and all remaining restrictions on the restricted shares of common stock and Series B preferred stock granted to him.

 

Chief Financial Officer – The amended and restated employment agreement is effective as of September 15, 2005 and has an initial term of three years, subject to each party’s termination rights.  The agreement provides for a base salary of $100,000 per year and the opportunity to receive cash bonuses based on performance upon the discretion of our board of directors.  The agreement also includes participation in employee benefit plans offered by us to our employees, as well as a grant of 140,000 shares of restricted common stock.  Either party may terminate the Chief Financial Officer’s employment under the contract, either with or without cause upon giving the other party at least thirty days notice.  If the Company terminates the chief financial officer’s employment at any time during the initial term without cause, he will be entitled to receive compensation provided under the agreement for the remaining initial term of employment.  In addition, in the event of a change in control as defined in the agreement, the Company may waive, in whole or in part, any and all remaining restrictions on the restricted shares of common stock granted to him.

 

Other Common Stock Grants

 

In addition to the above common stock grants, the Company granted 1,305,000 shares of its common stock to various other employees.  Because all of the shares were granted at no cost to the employees, and because the shares generally vest over a period of one-three years, the Company recorded a total of $27,850,500 of deferred compensation upon the dates of the employee stock grants (which amount was determined based on the total number of shares granted times the trading values of the shares on the dates the stock grants were made).  This amount is being amortized to stock based compensation expense over the vesting period.

 

As mentioned above, the Company has agreed to issue a total of 3,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to two of its officers.  However, for various reasons, including certain restrictions required by the indebtedness (which preclude the shares from being issued for at least 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement that has been filed to cover the resale of the shares of common stock that will be issued upon the conversion or exercise of the securities issued by the Company for such indebtedness), the shares have not yet been issued.  The Company intends to issue such shares of the Series B Preferred Stock at such time as it is permitted. The shares will be convertible into a like number of common shares as vesting occurs over a period which is expected to be two years.

 

Future required payments for base compensation under all of the employment agreements discussed above are approximately as follows:

Contingencies

 

On August 8, 2005, Industrial Enterprises of America, formerly Advanced BioChem, filed suit against Power3, Steven B. Rash and Ira Goldknopf claiming damages of at least $3,000,000 including the costs of litigation and of addressing the claims of the creditors of Advanced BioChem that remain unpaid.  Advanced BioChem has, in its public reports, announced their assertion that the parties to the law suit are responsible for all of the liabilities of Advanced BioChem, at the date of the asset purchase transaction on May 18, 2004.   The terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement are not clear and are subject to different interpretations.  While we believe that we have properly interpreted the provisions of the Agreement, fulfilled our obligations thereunder and reflected the terms of the transaction in our financial statements and previous filings, we have previously had discussions and negotiations with Advanced BioChem in an effort to resolve this disagreement and the alleged liabilities.  Recently as a result of Advanced BioChem’s refusal to further negotiate to settle the question, management has reviewed the liabilities in question and has determined that we are not liable for any of the aforementioned liabilities and these liabilities have not been included in the financial statements of the Company.  We intend to file an answer denying all claims in the lawsuit.  We believe that Advanced BioChem’s claims are without merit, however we cannot be assured we will prevail or if the outcome of the action will adversely affect our financial position or results of operations.

 

On September 30, 2005, the Company received a communication from an attorney representing former management of Power3, requesting a clarification of statements made in Form 10-QSB/A for the period ended June 30, 2004 and for the period ended September 30, 2004.  Based on the Company’s knowledge and reports it received from the Company’s stock transfer agent, the Company previously stated that shares of stock were issued to Emeritus Group LP, Southshore Harbor Group LLP and Arborcrest Assets LLP on May 17, 2004, based on authorization from Power3 Medical Products, Inc’s management at the time.  After further investigation and provision of documents by previous management,, it appears that the Company’s previous management authorized issuance of shares to three individuals, rather than to the limited partnership entities previously named, for consulting agreements, although no such consulting agreements were provided by previous management.  Based on copies provided, and prior to the actual issuance of shares to these individuals, these three individuals notified the stock transfer agent, by letter, to issue their shares to the limited partnership entities, Emeritus Group LP, Southshore Harbor Group LLP and Arborcrest Assts LLP.  The common shares of Power3 were later issued to these three limited partnership entities and have been reported in the outstanding common shares of the Company.

 

(8) SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

Convertible Debentures

 

The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 28, 2004 (the “Agreement”) with certain accredited investors, and an Amendment to such Securities Purchase agreement on January 19, 2005 in which four investors accelerated the purchase of debentures in exchange for additional warrants.   Pursuant to the Agreement, the purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company convertible debentures due three (3) years from the date of issuance in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000. The Agreement also provides for the issuance to the purchasers, at no additional cost to the purchasers, warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and additional investment rights to purchase additional convertible debentures.  In connection with the Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the purchasers, which requires that the Company file a registration statement with the SEC registering, on behalf of the purchasers, the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures and the exercise of the warrants.  On October 6, 2005, the

 

17



 

Company filed an amended registration statement for the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures.

 

Effective October 28, 2004, the Company issued and sold to the purchasers the first $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of such debentures at the initial closing under the Agreement. Effective January 26, 2005, the Company issued and sold to certain investors $400,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures.  Subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, as amended, the purchasers are required to purchase the remaining $1,600,000 in aggregate principal amount of such debentures at the final closing, which is to occur on or before the fifth trading day after the effective date of the registration statement. The Company is currently in default under the Agreement and the previously issued debentures and related registration rights agreement, and therefore the conditions of the Agreement were not satisfied or otherwise met on a timely basis. As stated, the Company has now filed the aforementioned registration statement, however it has not been declared effective yet.  Consequently, there are no assurances that the investors will purchase all or any portion of the remaining $1,600,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures. The $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures issued in the initial closing and the $400,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures issued on January 26, 2005 are due and payable in accordance with their original terms in full three years after the date of issuance and will not bear interest. The debentures which may be issued at the final closing will be due and payable in full three (3) years after the date of their issuance, and will not bear interest. The aggregate cash purchase price for the debentures will be $3,000,000, which is equal to the full face amount of the debentures. At any time from the closing date until the maturity date of the debentures, the purchasers have the right to convert the debentures, in whole or in part, into common stock of the Company at the then effective conversion price. The conversion price for the previously issued $1,400,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures and the 1,600,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures issuable at the final closing is equal to the lesser of (1) $0.90, (2) the 75% average of the daily volume weighted average price of the common stock for the five (5) consecutive days preceding the effective date of the registration statement or (3) the daily volume weighted average price of the common stock on the effective date of the registration statement. The conversion price shall be subject to adjustment under circumstances set forth in the debentures.

 

Under the Agreement, the Purchasers also received, at the first closing, warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock and additional investment rights to purchase additional amounts of convertible debentures.  Pursuant to the Amendment to the agreement, concurrent with the Company’s issuance of the $400,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures on January 26, 2005, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 333,333 shares of common stock.  All the issued warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.44 per share (subject to adjustment), for a period of five (5) years from October 28, 2004.

 

The additional investment rights are exercisable at a price equal to the principal amount of the debentures to be purchased, for (1) a period of nine months following the effective date of the registration statement to be filed pursuant to the registration rights agreement, or (2) a period of 18 months from the date of issuance of the additional investment rights, whichever is shorter. The debentures to be purchased upon the exercise of the additional investment rights will have the same terms as the debentures described above, except that the conversion price will be equal to $1.08 (subject to adjustment).

 

The debentures contain covenants that will limit the Company’s ability to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; incur or create liens; amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents so as to adversely affect any rights of the holders of the debentures; and repay or repurchase more than a de minimus number of shares of common stock other than as permitted in the debentures and other documents executed with the purchasers.

 

The debentures include customary default provisions and an event of default includes, among other things, a change of control of the Company, the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the failure to have the registration statement declared effective on or before the 180th day after the initial closing date, and the lapse of the effectiveness of the registration statement for more than 30 consecutive trading days during any 12-month period (with certain exceptions), the Company’s failure to timely

 

18



 

deliver certificates to holders upon conversion and a default by the Company in any obligations under any indebtedness of at least $150,000 which results in such indebtedness being accelerated. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each debenture may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by declaration of the holder of such debenture. The aggregate amount payable upon an acceleration by reason of an event of default shall be equal to the greater of 130% of the principal amount of the debentures to be prepaid or the principal amount of the debentures to be prepaid, divided by the conversion price on the date specified in the debenture, multiplied by the closing price on the date set forth in the debenture.

 

As mentioned above, the Company is in default under the provisions of the Agreement, registration rights agreement and previously issued debentures.  The events of default now principally relates to the Company’s inability to have its registration statement declared effective within the time period required by the agreements.  Although the Company intends to seek waivers or forbearance agreements from the holders of its debentures, there is no assurance that the Company will receive such concessions.  As such, the indebtedness has been classified as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet.  If the Company is unable to obtain such concessions, the aggregate amount payable under the outstanding debentures due to the acceleration thereof by reason of the default is equal to the “Mandatory Prepayment Amount” as specified in the debentures.  The Mandatory Prepayment Amount equals the sum of (i) the greater of:  (a) 130% of the principal amount of the debentures to be prepaid, or (b) the principal amount of the debentures to be prepaid, divided by the conversion price on (x) the date the payment is demanded or otherwise due, or (y) the date the payment is paid in full, whichever is less, multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on (x) the date the payment is demanded or otherwise due, or (y) the date the payment is paid in full, whichever is greater, and (ii) all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of the debentures.  In addition to the foregoing, pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Company is required to pay each holder of the debentures liquidated damages since the registration statement was not declared effective on or before February 25, 2005.  The amount of liquidated damages shall equal two percent (2%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by the holders for the debentures and shall be payable on each monthly anniversary of such date until the registration statement is declared effective.  As of September 30, 2005, the Company has recorded $232,000 of expense and accrued liabilities as a result of this provision.

 

The Company has received notice from one of the purchasers of the debentures informing the Company that it is in default under the debentures and demanding payment of the Mandatory Prepayment Amount, together with the liquidated damages, to which it is entitled pursuant to the agreement.  That amount has not been paid as of the date of filing this report.

 

In connection with such financing, the Company became obligated to issue to its placement agent a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00. If any investor exercises their additional investment rights and purchases additional debentures, the placement agent will be entitled to receive additional warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the exercise price paid upon exercise of the additional investment rights divided by ninety percent (90%) of the market price as of the initial closing.

 

Since there is no assurance that the Company will receive the remaining funds due at the time of the final closing and/or through the exercise of additional investment rights, no effect has been given to any value that may result from the issuance of these securities in the accompanying financial statements.

 

(9) OTHER SIGNIFICANT EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

 

(10) STOCK OPTION PLANS

 

The Company has various stock option and warrant plans outstanding.   Options granted under the 1998 stock option plans are exercisable only after the respective vesting period, which is determined by the Company’s stock option committee. Options expire seven years from the date of grant. Under the 1999 stock option plan, options granted to employees vest ratably over three years; vesting is determined by the

 

19



 

Company’s stock option committee for options granted to officers, directors, and consultants. Options expire ten years from the date of grant.

 

On March 31, 2003, the Company approved the 2003 Stock Compensation Plan, which provides for the granting of common stock, options and/or warrants to officers, directors and employees of the Company, as well as consultants and attorneys who provide services to the Company.  Under this plan the Company is authorized to issue up to 8,000,000 shares of common stock, options or warrants. The options and warrants shall expire according to terms as determined by a committee on the date of grant, which will not exceed ten years from the date of grant, or five years in cases of a grantee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock (10% Stockholder). The exercise period of any options or warrants granted will also be determined by this committee at the date of grant. The exercise price shall be determined by the committee at the time of grant except that in the case of incentive stock options, the exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, and in cases of a 10% Stockholder, for which the exercise price shall not be less than 110% of fair market value on the date of grant.

 

In addition to the above, in January 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2004 Directors, Officers and Consultants Stock Option, Stock Warrant, and Stock Award Plan (the 2004 Plan).  Pursuant to the 2004 Plan, initially 10,000,000 shares of common stock, warrants, options, preferred stock or any combination thereof may be optioned.  After the grant of any option, warrant or share of preferred stock, the number of shares that may be optioned under the 2004 Plan will be increased.  The number of shares of such increase shall be an amount such that immediately following such increase, the total number of shares issuable under this plan and reserved for issuance upon exercise of options, warrants, or conversion of shares of preferred stock will equal 15% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for all of its options and warrants (the “Warrants”)  under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for the Warrants was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for Warrants granted in 2000: risk-free interest rate of 6.03%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of .34; and a weighted-average expected life of the options of 2.7 years. The following assumptions were used for Warrants granted in 2004: risk-free interest rate of 5.0%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of 1.86 and a weighted-average expected life of the options of -0- years (as all were immediately vested). The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded Warrants that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s Warrants have characteristics significantly different from those of traded Warrants, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its Warrants.

 

All of the Company’s warrants were recorded at their fair values; accordingly stock based compensation and warrant expense actually recorded and stock based compensation and warrant expense that would be recorded using a fair value based method are identical.   A summary of the Company’s warrant activity and related information for the period January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004 is as follows:

(11) RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

SFAS 150 - Accounting for Certain ‘Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity

 

In May 2003, SFAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” was issued to establish new standards for how an entity classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  It requires that an entity classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances).  Many of these instruments were previously classified as equity.  This statement was effective when issued for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective for calendar year public companies for the third quarter of 2003.  The adoption of SFAS 150 had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

 

SFAS 123(R) ‘Share-Based Payments’

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement Number 123 (“FAS 123 (R)”), Share-Based Payments. FAS 123 (R) requires all entities to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of shared-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. The Company will be required to apply FAS 123 (R) on a modified prospective method. Under this method, the Company is required to record compensation expense (as previous awards continue to vest) for the

 

21



 

unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. In addition, the Company may elect to adopt FAS 123 (R) by restating previously issued financial statements, basing the amounts on the expense previously calculated and reported in the pro forma disclosures that had been required by FAS 123. FAS 123 (R) is effective for the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the impact of adopting this Statement will be material as there are no unvested options and warrants at December 31, 2004.

 

SFAS 153 - Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29

 

In December 2004, FASB Statement No. 153 was issued amending APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception allowing non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets to be measured based on the carrying value of the assets exchanged as opposed to at their fair values.  This exception was replaced with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  The provisions of this statement are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

(12) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On October 3, 2005, Power3 was notified that it has been sued by Kamy A. Behzadi, a former employee and a stockholder of Power3.  The suit claims breach of contract and ask that all restrictions on stock issued to the Plaintiff be removed or that the restrictions be declared null and void.  Previously on May 11, 2005, the Company filed suit against Mr. Behzadi and Search Alliance for misrepresentation of professional credentials, deceptive trade practices and breach of contract regarding his employment with Power3.

 

On October 6, 2005, Power3 filed Amendment #1 to its previously filed SB-2 to register the stock related to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 28, 2004, as amended.

 

On October 17, 2005, the Company executed a promissory note in the principal amount of $39,231 payable to Dr. Ira L. Goldknopf (the “Payee”) who is the Chief Scientific Officer, a Director and a Principal Stockholder of the Company.  Under the terms of the note, the principal amount of thirty nine thousand, two hundred and thirty one dollars ($39,231), (the “Principal”) shall be due and payable on or before March 6, 2006 (the “Maturity Date”).  Should the Principal not be repaid as of March 6, 2006, interest of 6 % per year on any unpaid Principal amount will be earned by the Payee until such time as all of the Principal amount is repaid.  This Note may be repaid at any time prior to March 6, 2006, without interest or penalty.

Overview

 

The Company is an early stage development company engaged in the early detection, monitoring, and targeting of diseases through the analysis of proteins.  The Company’s business objective is to commercialize its intellectual property by focusing on disease diagnosis, protein and biomarkers identification and drug resistance in the areas of cancers, neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases.  The Company has established a scientific advisory board to assist in the research and development of its products. The members of the scientific advisory board are recognized leaders in their chosen fields, and the Company is working with them in the development of effective early diagnosis and drug targets for early treatment of cancers, neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases.

 

Prior to the Company’s acquisition of the assets of Advanced BioChem, Inc. on May 18, 2004, the Company was primarily engaged in the production and distribution of surgical safety devices through the operations of its subsidiary, Power3 Medical, Inc.  On May 18, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of the assets of Advanced BioChem.  The Company acquired all assets and intellectual properties of Advanced BioChem and assumed certain liabilities in exchange for the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Subsequent to the transaction, the Company

 

23



 

established the new business direction described above.  After the acquisition of the assets and certain liabilities of Advanced BioChem, the Company transformed into an advanced proteomics company applying existing proprietary methodologies to commercialize the intellectual property it acquired in the Advanced BioChem transaction and subsequently developed new proprietary methodologies in the specific areas of discovery and identification of protein biomarkers associated with diseases.  The Company currently has no products for sale nor does it provide any service for hire.  The Company is focused on research and development activities and initiating the “proof of concept” of its technologies.

 

The Company is in the developmental stage of its existence.  As such, it has not begun generating revenue from the sales of products or services, nor has it produced such for sale at this time.  The Company is dependent on debt and equity capital for its activities.  Many of the internal control procedures that will be necessary when the Company moves out of the developmental stage are not developed at this time.  Our ongoing operations consist of research and development operations and activities directed toward commercializing the intellectual property of the Company at this time.  The Company has been in its current developmental stage since its acquisition of its current set of intellectual properties on May 18, 2004.

 

The Company has had significant losses from its inception. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur substantial operating losses in future years as it progresses in its research and development activities as well as the commercializing of its technologies.  The Company does not expect to produce revenues from operations in the near term and expects that its revenues will be limited to research grants, collaboration agreements, and other strategic alliances which the Company is able to obtain.  The Company has an immediate need for capital to continue its current operations

 

Recent Developments

 

Scientific Developments

 

The members of the Company’s scientific team have developed a method for the differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases utilizing blood serum, which was co-developed with neurologist, Dr. Stan Appel, Chair of Neurology and his team at The Methodist Hospital Neurological Research Institute in Houston. Under the trade name of NuroPro™, the Company is continuing development of a suite of four tests to differentiate individuals with no known neurological disorders from those with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and other disorders that have similar clinical symptoms as these diseases. Each test involves monitoring the concentration of a group of differentially expressed proteins selected from a panel of 34 biomarkers that have been identified as indicators of the different disorders. Each test employs a different combination of 4 to 10 biomarkers to achieve the desired diagnostic capability for the specific disease discrimination designed for any individual test.  The Company has just received a Notice of Allowance for the trademark NuroPro™ from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

 

At the end of the first nine months of 2005, the number of unique samples in our collection used for constructing our NuroPro™ tests has increased from 435 to over 600.  During this time, the Company has determined the protein identities for 31 of the 34 differentially expressed proteins in the pool of biomarkers targeting neurodegenerative diseases and has focused its efforts on commercializing the first 4 of the diagnostic tests in the NuroPro™ series. The first test is a “general” test designed to aid the general practitioner in differentiating individuals with no known neurological disorders from those with neuromuscular diseases including Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and other disorders with similar clinical symptoms. The second test is designed to aid the neurologist in differentiating individuals with ALS from those disorders with similar clinical symptoms as ALS. The third test is designed to aid neurologists in differentiating individuals with Alzheimer’s disease from those with similar disorders and from normal non demented individuals of the same age.  The fourth test is designed to aid neurologists and internists in differentiating individuals with Parkinson’s disease from those with similar disorders and from normal individuals of the same age.

 

24



 

Since January, 2005, the Company has converted six provisional patents to utility patent applications, 1 focusing on the Company’s biomarker discovery technologies, 1 on antibody based test designs for the company’s biomarkers, and 4 on biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases. The company has filed a provisional patent application for the Company’s first generic, blood based diagnostic test for neuromuscular disorders on May 9, 2005 and second and third provisional patent applications on July 21, 2005 and August 17, 2005 for the Company’s ALS specific test and Alzheimer’s specific test to distinguish patients with ALS from those with other diseases that have the same symptoms as ALS but with more treatment options and better prognosis. A fourth provisional patent application has been submitted, on August 24, 2005, for a functionally-related group of biomarkers that distinguish between ALS and Parkinson’s disease. These applications are included in the 9 utility patents pending, 15 provisional patent applications, and 1 issued patent, owned and/or licensed by Power3 for developing disease specific diagnostic tests for neurodegenerative disease, breast cancer, and drug resistance.

 

Following the provisional patent applications, the Company submitted a pre-market IDE (Investigational Device Exemption) application with the Division of Hematology of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the first diagnostic test in the NuroPro™ series. Currently, there are no other diagnostic tests available to the physician to assist in the diagnosis of these disorders and the Company believes the FDA is highly interested in evaluating this technology. In a meeting with the FDA on June 1, 2005, guidance was offered regarding requirements for study design, patient risk assessment and intended use. In addition, based on the FDA’s advice in preliminary discussions, Power3 presented optimized results with an increase in specificity to more than 92% and an increase in Positive Predicted Value to more than 96%. The FDA concurred with how the Company had approached the biostatistics analysis utilized to optimize the test results. Now, the Company is proceeding to make preparations for FDA applicable multiple site clinical studies for the NuroPro(TM) suite of blood serum tests. The company has since submitted its second pre-IDE application on June 22 with the FDA for the Company’s NuroPro(TM) Blood Tests for the early detection and differentiation of the neurodegenerative disease, ALS from the ALS-like disorders that have similar symptoms but different treatments and prognoses. The basis for submission is the analysis of blood serum from over 600 patients.

 

On June 28, 2004, Power3 entered into an exclusive license agreement with Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX to commercialize the neurodegenerative disease biomarkers and tests co developed and patents filed jointly with that institution. Further, on June 6, 2005, the Company entered into a research agreement with The Methodist Hospital Neurological Research Institute, Houston TX, to be effective March 17, 2005, to continue the search for biomarkers and development of the NuroPro suite of tests that directly impact the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. Power3, in collaboration with Stan Appel, M.D., Chair of Neurology at the Methodist Hospital Neurological Research Institute, has completed clinical validation, testing serum proteins from over 600 patients, normal and neurodegenerative disease controls, including patients with Lou Gehrig’s (ALS), Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

 

The results from recently completed studies measuring levels of biomarkers from blood serum to diagnose and follow patients with neurological disorders involving muscle control have provided further scientific evidence in support of the Company’s biomarker program. These studies were done with serum samples from more than 600 patients and normal controls. They revealed that 21 of 34 blood serum protein biomarkers are useful in distinguishing patients with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and Parkinson’s diseases. These studies have provided new and surprising results, revealing for the first time that 3 blood serum protein biomarkers useful in distinguishing patients with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and Parkinson’s diseases are actually different forms of the same protein, where the disease specific difference involves an important regulatory mechanism, the attachment of a chemical tag to the protein. The finding of a protein tagging difference between two distinct diseases which are members of the same type of neurological disorder, motor control, provides highly valuable clues about these specific diseases, biochemical differences that can point to targeted therapies exploiting them. New results of studies of Alzheimer’s disease by the Company have found that 15 of the 34 biomarkers appear to provide indication of disease severity and 6 provide indication of early disease. These findings offer the hope of developing specific tests for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease, for monitoring of disease progression and response to treatment, and valuable clues for drug targeting for development of early treatments.

The Company has entered into a collaborative research agreement with New Horizons Diagnostic effective March 21, 2005 for the development of antibody based diagnostic tests for neurodegenerative disease utilizing the Company’s identified biomarkers.  The research agreement is based on groups of biomarkers whose profiles are relatively sensitive and specific in distinguishing patients with ALS, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease from each other, as well as from normal patients and patients with other neuromuscular and neurological disorders. The purpose of the agreement is to tailor monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to the biomarkers, which will be incorporated into immunoassays.  Once the assays are available, they will be developed to validate diagnostic tests specifically designed to detect and discriminate among the neurodegenerative diseases.   The research agreement provides that the parties will develop an agreed upon schedule and budget for the work contemplated there under within sixty (60) days of the effective date.  The agreement provides that in the event the parties are able to achieve specified goals relating to the development of a diagnostic kit as contemplated by the research agreement, New Horizons would be compensated in any one of the following manners with respect to such diagnostic kit:  (i) a contract to manufacture at least one key component of such diagnostic kit; (ii) royalties on the sale of such diagnostic kit; (iii) the opportunity to form a joint venture with the Company for the commercialization of such diagnostic kit; or (iv) a reasonable percentage of any cash consideration that the Company receives from a third party for such diagnostic kit.  Although the form and amounts of any consideration to be paid have not been agreed upon, the parties have agreed to be reasonable in negotiating such consideration.

 

On May 24, 2005, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with BioSite Inc.  The agreement provides that Power3 and BioSite will engage in a research program in which BioSite will attempt to develop antibodies and diagnostic assays for selected target biomarkers proposed by Power3.  If the antibodies and diagnostic assays are found to have diagnostic and/or therapeutic potential, BioSite will develop and commercialize BioSite products for the detection and/or treatment of breast cancer and/or neurological diseases.  Under the agreement, BioSite will make milestone payments to the Company, as well as pay royalties on the sale of any BioSite products containing antibodies to any selected target biomarker claimed in a patent application or an issued patent.

 

Power3’s Discovery Platform of patents pending and trade secrets for identifying protein biomarkers, which signal early stages of breast cancer (pre-mammography) have led to what the Company believes to be the first test of its type that detects breast cancer earlier than current technology allows.  These discoveries establish the basis of a very sensitive, non-invasive, early detection breast cancer-screening test. With regard to the NAF test for breast cancer, the M.D. Anderson utilities patent licensed by Power3 has issued, as of February 15, 2005.  The Company’s breast Cancer NAFTest™ Clinical Validation Study continues with promising results.  The current enrollment status includes 162 patients, including all categories of normal, benign and cancer samples.  The three clinical sites include Mercy Women’s Center in Oklahoma City, OK, Obstetrical and Gynecology Associates in Houston, TX, and NYU School of Medicine in NY, NY.  It is anticipated that the enrollment will continue without changes to the sites or Primary Investigators.  The Company is pleased with the continual progress of the validation study and the advice received from the study’s principal investigator.  The Company has received a Notice of Allowance for its NAFTest™ trademark for breast cancer from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

 

The Company has extended its breast cancer diagnostic technology with a newly discovered group of 12 blood serum biomarkers found in studies of serum samples collected at Mercy Women’s Center from 144 high risk women. Preliminary biostatistical analysis of these biomarkers indicate that monitoring their concentrations has utility in distinguishing between women with breast cancer, women with benign breast disease, and normal women.

 

Power3 has obtained the exclusive worldwide license to a joint utility patent application and jointly developed technologies for early detection screening tests, identified protein biomarkers and drug targets to predict which cancer patients will be sensitive or resistant to drug therapy. The technology was

 

26



 

developed through joint collaboration between the scientific team of Power3 Medical and The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

 

The Company has accumulated an intellectual property portfolio in which the Company owns or has licensed a total of 24 patent applications, 1 issued U.S. patent and 2 License agreements, covering its biomarker discovery and diagnostic platforms and the breakthrough diagnostic and drug targeting discoveries it has obtained with its platforms.  The discoveries the Company has made include biomarkers and tests for breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, leukemia, drug resistance and neurodegenerative diseases.  The Company is also preparing several manuscripts for scientific publication covering these discoveries.

 

On October 13, 2005, the Company executed a Research Agreement with Pfizer, Inc. to further evaluate its NuroPro™ test capabilities and to test blind and unblended samples provided by Pfizer, under controlled conditions.

Revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2005 were $-0- and $-0- for the same period in 2004.  Due to the Company’s focus on disease diagnosis, protein and biomarkers identification, and research on drug resistance in the areas of cancer, neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases, it is unlikely that the Company will receive any revenues from commercial operations in the immediate future.

 

Total Operating expenses were $3,388,913 during the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $1,624,364 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $1,764,549.  The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase of $1,133,237 in stock based compensation expense and to the amortized costs of the warrants issued to consultants and to the convertible debenture holders.  Other operating expenses were $535,189 in the first three months of 2005 as compared to $362,397 during the first three months of 2004, an increase of $172,792.

 

Interest expense thus far in 2005 has amounted to $368,612 as compared to $2,752 during the same nine month period of 2004.  The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the monthly amortization of the accrued interest on the convertible debentures issued.

 

The above matters result in our Net Loss being slightly less during the first nine months in 2005 as compared to the first nine months of 2004.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has financed its operations since the date of the Advanced BioChem transaction primarily through the net proceeds generated from the sale of common stock, the sale of convertible debentures and the issuance of notes payable as bridge loans.  From the date of the Advanced BioChem transaction through September 30, 2005, the Company has raised approximately $2,538,150 in debt capital.  As described in “Recent Financing” below, the Company may sell an additional $1,600,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed by the Company for the resale of certain shares of the Company’s stock by the purchasers of the Company’s convertible debentures.  The Company is in default under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the previously issued debentures and related registration rights agreement and there can be no assurance that the existing investors will purchase all or any portion of the additional $1,600,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures.  If additional debentures are issued and sold by the Company, the Company will use a portion of the proceeds from the sale and issuance of such debentures to pay the $451,000 principal balance owing under the promissory notes dated April and September, 2005,

 

27



 

the $ 446,500 principal balance owing under the promissory note dated June 17, 2005 and amended in September, 2005 and the $240,650 in Officer Advances.

 

The Company’s liquidity and capital needs relate primarily to working capital, development and other general corporate requirements.  The Company has not received any cash from operations.  Under the terms of the license agreement with M.D. Anderson, which the Company acquired from Advanced BioChem, the Company is required to pay a nonrefundable license documentation fee of $40,000, payable in two installments.  The first $20,000 installment was previously paid following the execution of the license agreement and the second installment was paid in February 2005.  A similar license documentation fee is payable under the terms of the license agreement the Company entered into with M.D. Anderson and the Company was obligated to pay the second installment of $20,000 in August of 2005. That payment is now due and payable and has not been paid.  The Company has an immediate need for capital to continue its current operations.  In addition to seeking additional capital, the Company will seek revenues from research grants, collaboration agreements, and other strategic alliances.

 

In the event the sale and issuance of the $1,600,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures occurs and the investors exercise their warrants and additional investment rights, the Company anticipates it will have adequate cash to meet its funding requirements through the first quarter of 2006.  The foregoing projections are based upon the Company’s existing obligations.  Advanced BioChem has asserted that the Company has not assumed or recognized all liabilities for which it is obligated under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  The resolution of this dispute, including a possible settlement thereof, could result in an increase in the Company’s liabilities.  If the Company’s obligations are increased, the Company will require additional funding sooner than is currently anticipated.  (See “Recent Developments – Dispute with Advanced BioChem.”)

 

Net cash used in operating activities approximated ($210,471) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to ($970,366) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  The decrease in net cash used in operating activities during 2005 was primarily due to a smaller charge to stock-based compensation during the first nine months of 2005, as compared to the first nine months of 2004.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities approximated $338,890 for the nine months of 2005 as compared to $882,457 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  As of September 30, 2005, the Company’s principal source of liquidity was approximately $36,733 in cash.

 

Recent Financing

 

On September 5, 2005, the Company received a bridge loan in the amount of $ 200,000.  This bridge loan is due and payable within one business day following the closing of the Company’s sale and issuance of the $1,600,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 28, 2004, as amended.  If that closing, which is to occur within five trading days of the effectiveness of the Company’s pending registration statement on Form SB-2, does not occur on or before October 31, 2005, the entire unpaid principal balance will be due on October 31, 2005.  The due date for this note has been extended to November 15, 2005 and interest is due on the note according to certain provisions as described in the note documents, shown as an exhibit to the 8-K filed by the Company on September 9, 2005.

 

The Company’s earlier $251,000 bridge loan, received in the quarter ending June 30, 2005, bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum which, at the holder’s option, may be paid in (a) cash, or (b) that number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing $ 251,000 by the common stock price on the date of payment and multiplying the quotient so obtained by 20%.  This note is still outstanding and remains unpaid at this time.

 

On September 6, 2005, the Company received an Officer Advance in the amount of $ 80,000.  This advance is in the form of a short-term Note Payable, to the Officer, and is payable on March 6, 2006.

 

28



 

Should the principal not be repaid as of March 6, 2006, interest of 6% per year on any unpaid principal amount will be earned by the Payee until such time as all of the principal amount is repaid.

 

On June 17, 2005, the Company received a bridge loan in the amount of $ 396,500.  This bridge loan is in the form of a promissory note, payable on the sooner of August 15, 2005, or the fifth day following the effective date of the Company’s registration statement on Form SB-2.  The note is secured by a Stock Pledge Agreement, entered into on June 17, 2005, by the CEO of Power 3, wherein the Pledger ageed to pledge 6,000,000 shares of common stock as security for the performance of the Company under the note.

 

On September 6, 2005, the parties to this promissory note agreed to amend the original note, thereby changing the amount to be repaid, by Power3, to $446,500 and changing the due date of the note to October 31, 2005.  All other provisions of the note remain in effect, as originally stated in the Note Payable and shown as an exhibit to the 8-K filed by the Company on September 9, 2005.  This note remain unpaid and still outstanding at this time.

 

On September 29, 2005 the Company received an Officer Advance in the amount of $20,000.  This advance is in the form of a short-term Note Payable to the Officer and is payable on March 6, 2006.  Should the principal not be repaid as of March 6, 2006, interest of 6% per year on any unpaid principal amount will be earned by the Payee until such time as all of the principal amount is repaid.

 

Plan of Operations and Cash Requirements

 

The Company currently does not have operating revenues from product sales or the performance of services and it continues to experience net operating losses.  The Company is actively pursuing third party licensing agreements, collaboration agreements and similar business arrangements in order to establish a revenue base utilizing its capabilities in disease diagnosis based on protein and biomarker identification, and drug resistance in the areas of cancers, neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases.  The Company has undertaken clinical validation studies to demonstrate the diagnostic capabilities of its technologies. However, there can be no assurances that revenue-generating agreements will be in place in the next twelve months.

 

Absent a source of revenues, the Company will require funding in order to carry out its business plan until such time as it is able to generate sustained revenues.  The Company’s current cash requirements are approximately $200,000 per month and the Company anticipates that it will require approximately $2,400,000 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006 to continue its development activities, undertake and perform clinical validation studies, continue its marketing efforts and maintain its administrative infrastructure, broken down as follows:

The foregoing is based upon the Company’s current estimated cash requirements.  The resolution of the Company’s current dispute with Advanced BioChem regarding the liabilities assumed by the Company in the parties’ transaction may result in an increase in the Company’s liabilities and cash requirements. The

 

29



 

Company has no significant capital expenditure requirements and does not plan to increase its monthly expenditure rate absent an increase in revenues or additional funding.

 

As noted previously, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and an amendment to the securities purchase agreement pursuant to which certain investors agreed to purchase, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000.  Assuming the completion of the remaining closing and sale and issuance of the remaining $1,600,000 in aggregate principal amount of the convertible debentures, the Company estimates that, after repayment of the bridge loans immediately following the sale and issuance of such debentures, the Company will have adequate cash to allow it to meet its current funding requirements through the first quarter of 2005.  In the event the sale and issuance of such debentures occurs and the investors exercise their warrants and additional investment rights, the Company anticipates it will have adequate cash to meet its current funding requirements through the end of 2006.  The foregoing is based upon current estimated cash requirements and may be affected by the Company’s current dispute with Advanced BioChem regarding the liabilities assumed under the May 2004 transaction.

 

The Company will continue to require additional debt or equity financing for its operations, which may not be readily available.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to its ability to generate a profit or obtain necessary funding from outside sources.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At September 30, 2005, with the exception of the lease for its operating facility, and employment agreements entered with its three principal officers, the Company did not have any significant off balance sheet commitments.

 

On November 1, 2005, the Company executed an agreement with Dallas Jones Associates to provide financial services and receive compensation of 8 per cent of debt funds or equity funds raised for the Company, payable upon completion of any such transaction.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for services based on the intrinsic value of the equity instruments issued.  Equity instruments issued to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable are measured at fair value at the issuance date and expensed in the period over which the benefit is expected to be received.

 

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS No. 148). This statement amends FASB statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”. It provides alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for employee stock based compensation. It also amends the disclosure provision of FASB statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 123 and amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company continues to apply the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” to account for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements.

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement Number 123 (“FAS 123 (R)”), Share-Based Payments.  FAS 123 (R) requires all entities to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees.  The Company will be required to apply FAS 123 (R) on a modified prospective method.  Under this method, the Company will be required to record compensation expense (as previous awards continue to vest) for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.  In addition, the Company may elect to adopt FAS 123 (R) by restating previously issued

 

30



 

financial statements, basing the amounts on the expense previously calculated and reported in the pro forma disclosures that had been required by FAS 123, FAS 123 (R) is effective for the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Company has not yet determined the impact that FAS 123 (R) will have on its financial statements; however, it does not believe the impact of adopting this Statement will be material as there are no unvested options and warrants at September 30, 2005.

 

On May 18, 2004, Power3 executed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Advanced BioChem, doing business as ProteEx.   In the transaction, Power3 purchased substantially all of the assets and intellectual properties of Advanced BioChem and assumed certain liabilities in exchange for the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement.  For financial statement purposes, the transaction had previously been accounted for as a recapitalization, as in a reverse acquisition.  After review, the Company has concluded that a more appropriate characterization of the transaction would be purchase accounting.  Power3 has now completed a recharacterization of the transaction as purchase accounting and has produced revised financial statements for the quarterly periods ending June 30, 2004; September 30, 2004 and for the 1st Quarter of 2005, ending March 31, 2005.  The Company, and its auditors, are in complete agreement as to the accounting treatment of purchase accounting as the appropriate treatment to account for its acquisition of a set of assets and a certain set of liabilities of Advanced BioChem on May 18, 2004.

 

Item 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act).  Based on this evaluation and for the reasons set forth below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2005.

 

Management has identified certain deficiencies which have caused it to conclude that the Company’s disclosure controls are ineffective.  Certain of these deficiencies such as late filing of the Company’s 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company’s inability to hire outside professionals and consultants and the unexpected issues with the Advanced BioChem transaction, were previously reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005.

 

The Company has undertaken steps and implemented actions as disclosed in its previous Form 10-QSB in an effort to resolve these deficiencies.

 

While the actions identified in the previously filed Form 10-QSB and the actions identified below have addressed many of these deficiencies, the Company continued to have deficiencies with respect to its disclosure controls and procedures at September 30, 2005 including the following:

 

                  Although the Company has hired accounting personnel as reported in its previous Form 10-QSB, the Company’s limited financing and available capital have restricted the Company’s ability to fully implement its procedures for the improvement of its internal control over financial reporting and to engage certain outside professionals and advisors to the extent the Company has desired to support the Company’s accounting personnel in the preparation and/or audit of financial statements and reports to be filed with the SEC.

 

                  The Company continues to face unexpected issues relating to the integration of the Advanced BioChem transaction such as the dispute described in this quarterly report over the Advanced BioChem liabilities that Power3 is ultimately responsible for and such issues have caused the Company’s accounting personnel to devote significant and unanticipated time and attention to these matters.

 

31



 

The Company continues to believe that the deficiencies are attributable to many factors including issues relating to the quality of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures at the time of the Advanced BioChem transaction and the transition following the transaction.  Management is committed to a sound disclosure control and internal control environment and is continuing its efforts to improve the Company’s infrastructure, personnel, processes and controls to help ensure that the Company is able to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the first three quarters of 2005, the Company has continued the implementation of more rigorous policies with respect to its disclosure and financial reporting review process including improvements of its infrastructure and processes to improve its internal control over financial reporting.  The Company also is continuing its implementation of procedures to improve its review and processing of non-accounting documentation and contracts.  Other than the changes described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

 

On June 3, 2005, Mr. Michael Rosinski, Chief Financial Officer of Power3, resigned and terminated his employment at the Company as of that date.  On June 3, 2005, the Company named John P. Burton as its Chief Accounting Officer and Controller.  On September 15, 2005 the Company named Mr. Burton as Chief Financial Officer, according to an Employment Agreement effective as of that date.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In November 2004, Chapman Spira & Carson, LLC (“Chapman Spira”), an investment banking firm, filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York against Advanced BioChem (the Predecessor), Power3 and Steven Rash.  The suit alleges that Advanced BioChem and Power3 are liable to Chapman Spira for damages allegedly resulting from the breach of a letter agreement between Chapman Spira and Advanced BioChem relating to the performance of strategic and investment banking services.  The suit further alleges that Mr. Rash made false statements regarding the performance of services by Chapman Spira. Chapman Spira is seeking damages in the amount of $1,522,000 plus interest.  We have filed an answer in the lawsuit.  We believe that Chapman Spira’s claims are without merit; however, we cannot be assured we will prevail or if the outcome of the action will adversely affect our business, financial position or results of operations.  Inquiries to resolve this matter have been undertaken by the attorneys representing each party in this matter, but no resolution has been achieved thus far.

 

An equipment vendor filed a complaint, regarding equipment which the Company acquired in its May 18, 2004 transaction with Advanced BioChem, against Advanced BioChem in April of 2002 in a California court alleging breach of contract and seeking damages.  Advanced BioChem reached a settlement agreement in April of 2003 under which Advanced BioChem would pay the vendor $40,000 in installments through August, 2003.  At December 31, 2003, Advanced BioChem had a balance remaining of $20,000.   In April, 2005, the equipment vendor filed a lawsuit against Advanced BioChem, certain former officers of Advanced BioChem and against Power3 in order to enforce its claim for the remaining balance which is past due and may be assumed by the Company as part of the settlement of the dispute with Advanced BioChem.

 

On May 17, 2005, the Law Offices of Jerry Scheff filed suit against us seeking recovery of fees billed to us for legal fees invoiced in November, 2004.  We believe that we are not liable for the specific dollar amounts claimed in the lawsuit, however the dollar amounts are included in the accounts payable section

 

32



 

of the Company’s balance sheet.  We cannot be assured we will prevail or if the outcome of this action will adversely affect our financial position or results of operations.

 

On May 19, 2005, Quinn Capital Consulting, Inc. filed suit against Power3 and Steven B. Rash claiming breach of contract regarding payment for services claimed to be issued to Power3, with payment to have been made by issue of 500,000 shares to Quinn Capital, for which Power3 later cancelled or otherwise converted the shares from Quinn Capital.  We believe that we are not liable for the issuance of any shares to Quinn Capital regarding the service performed under any such agreement, however we cannot be assured we will prevail or if the outcome of this action will affect our financial position or results of operations.

 

In June, 2005, Charles Caudle et al filed a lawsuit in Harris County, Texas, against Advanced BioChem, Power3 and the officers and directors of both companies.  The suit alleges that Advanced BioChem, Power3 and the officers and directors of Power3, are liable to Charles Caudle et al for damages resulting from funds loaned to Advanced BioChem and which were subsequently converted into common stock of Advanced BioChem.  It is unclear as to the specific dollar amount of the claim.  We, and our officers and directors, have filed an answer denying all claims in the lawsuit.  We believe that Charles Caudle et al’s claims are without merit, however we cannot be assured we will prevail or if the outcome of the action will adversely affect our financial position or results of operations.

 

On June 27, 2005, the Company received a subpoena for documents regarding the SEC’s Division of Enforcement investigation In The Matter of Maui General Store, Inc.  It is our understanding that the Maui General Store matter relates to a promotional scheme by certain individuals to promote the stock and stock price of certain companies, during 2004.  We provided all documents in our possession pursuant to the subpoena and complied fully with the subpoena on July 11, 2005.  We have received no further correspondence from the Enforcement Division of the SEC.  We have not been notified that we are a subject of this investigation.

 

On August 8, 2005, Industrial Enterprises of America, formerly Advanced BioChem, filed suit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County against Power3, Steven B. Rash and Ira Goldknopf claiming damages of at least $3,000,000. In this action, Advanced BioChem has asserted that Power3, Steven Rash and Ira Goldknopf are responsible for all of the liabilities of Advanced BioChem, at the date of the asset purchase transaction on May 18, 2004.   On October 25, 2005, this action was discontinued without prejudice by the Plaintiff, Industrial Enterprises of America.

 

On August 29, 2005, Power3 was notified that it had been sued by Carlotta Lansford for non-payment of services rendered to Advanced BioChem.  Plaintiff claims that the liability for these services now rests with Power3 due to Power3’s assumption of liabilities in the May 18, 2004 transaction with Advanced BioChem.  While Power3 believes that it will eventually be determined to be not liable for these claims, this liability has been included in the accounts payable of the Company.

 

On October 3, 2005, Power3 was notified that it has been sued by Kamy A. Behzadi, a former employee and a stockholder of Power3.  The suit claims breach of contract and ask that all restrictions on stock issued to the Plaintiff be removed or that the restrictions be declared null and void.   Previously on May 11, 2005, the Company had filed suit against Mr. Behzadi and Search Alliance for misrepresentation of professional credentials, deceptive trade practices and breach of contract regarding his employment with Power3.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and use of Proceeds

 

(a)                Not applicable.

 

(b)               Under the terms of the $400,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures issued by the Company as of January 26, 2005, as well as the terms of the $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures issued by the Company as of October 28, 2004, the Company is prohibited

 

33



 

from taking certain actions without the approval of the holders of a two-thirds majority of the then-outstanding principal amount of the debentures.  Specifically, the Company has agreed not to, so long as any portion of the debentures are outstanding, (1) amend it certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents so as to adversely affect any rights of the holders of the debentures, or (2) repurchase more than a de minimis number of shares of its common stock or other equity securities other than as to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures described above.

 

(c)                Not applicable.

 

(d)               Not applicable.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

The Company is in default under the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, registration rights agreement and previously issued debentures.  The events of default principally relate to the Company’s inability to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and the Company’s resulting inability to have the registration statement declared effective within the time period required by the agreements.  As previously disclosed, the Company had been unable to file its 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.  The Company has now correctly recharacterized the May 18, 2004 transaction with Advanced BioChem as a purchase transaction, and on September 9, 2005, filed its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Although the Company intends to seek waivers or forbearance agreements from the holders of its debentures, there is no assurance that the Company will receive such concessions.  If the Company is unable to obtain such concessions, the aggregate amount payable under the outstanding debentures due to the acceleration thereof by reason of the default is equal to the “Mandatory Prepayment Amount” as specified in the debentures.  The Mandatory Prepayment Amount equals the sum of (i) the greater of:  (a) 130% of the principal amount of the debentures to be prepaid, or (b) the principal amount of the debentures to be prepaid, divided by the conversion price on (x) the date the payment is demanded or otherwise due, or (y) the date the payment is paid in full, whichever is less, multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on (x) the date the payment is demanded or otherwise due, or (y) the date the payment is paid in full, whichever is greater, and (ii) all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of the debentures.  In addition to the foregoing, pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Company is required to pay each holder of the debentures liquidated damages since the registration statement was not declared effective on or before February 25, 2005.  The amount of liquidated damages shall equal two percent (2%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by the holders for the debentures and shall be payable on each monthly anniversary of such date until the registration statement is declared effective.  The Company has received notice from one of the purchasers of the debentures informing the Company that it is in default under the debentures and demanding payment of the Mandatory Prepayment Amount, together with the liquidated damages, to which it is entitled pursuant to the agreement.  That amount is outstanding and has not been paid by the Company.

 

The Company has now filed its Amendment #1 to SB-2 and as soon as it is declared effective, will endeavor to resolve the issue of the monthly debenture penalty payments immediately thereafter or at time of purchase of the remaining $1,600,000 of convertible debentures.

 

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

No matters were submitted to the security holders for a vote during the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

Item 5. Other Information

 

Filing Status of Reports

 

On October 6, 2005, Power3 filed Amendment #1 to SB-2, originally filed in February, 2005, to register securities underlying a Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 28, 2004, as amended.

 

Related Party Promissory Note

 

On October 17, 2005, the Company executed a promissory note in the principal amount of $39,231 payable to Dr. Ira L. Goldknopf (the “Payee”) who is the Chief Scientific Officer, a Director and a Principal Stockholder of the Company.  Under the terms of the note, the principal amount of thirty nine thousand, two hundred and thirty one dollars ($39,231), (the “Principal”) shall be due and payable on or before March 6, 2006 (the “Maturity Date”).  Should the Principal not be repaid as of March 6, 2006, interest of 6 % per year on any unpaid Principal amount will be earned by the Payee until such time as all the Principal amount is repaid.  This Note may be repaid at any time prior to March 6, 2006, without interest or penalty.

 

$150,000 Promissory Note

 

On November 3, 2005, Power3 Medical Products, Inc. (“the Company” or “Power3”) executed a promissory note (“the Note”) in the principal amount of $150,000 payable to Trinity Financing Investments Corporation (“the Holder”).  Pursuant to the Note, the Company promises to pay to the Holder $150,000 in cash on March 2, 2006. The Note bears interest at the rate of 11% per annum until the maturity date. After the maturity date, the default rate of interest increases to 18% per annum on any portion of the principal amount of the Note remaining outstanding.

 

Payment of the Note is secured by personal Unconditional and Continuing Guarantees from both Steven B. Rash, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, and Dr. Ira Goldknopf, the Company’s Chief Scientific Officer and a Director. In addition, Mr. Rash and Mr. Goldknopf executed a Stock Pledge Agreement, as security for the Note, in the amount of 2,000,000 shares of Power3 common stock.  Further, as part of the consideration provided to the Holder for the Note, Trinity Financing Investments Corporation also received seven year warrants for the purchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.25 per share, subject to adjustment.   The warrants are exercisable, in whole or in part, any time from and after the date of issuance of the warrant and prior to the expiration of seven years following the date of issuance of the warrant.
