NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We generally use words such as "believe," "may," "could," "will," "intend," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this report. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made, and our future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements may not meet these expectations. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
 
History
 
Power3 Medical Products, Inc. was incorporated in New York in May 1993.  We have been a development stage company since May 2004, with our primary business activities focused on the development of our intellectual property assets in the area of diagnoses for breast cancer, ALS, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.  In September 2008, Steven B. Rash, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board at the time, resigned from all of his positions with us.  Ira L. Goldknopf, our sole remaining director and Chief Scientific Officer, was appointed as President and Interim Chairman of the Board.  Helen R. Park was appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer.  Under the direction of our restructured management team, we implemented a new strategy focusing on commercialization of our intellectual property assets, with less emphasis on research and development.  In connection with our new focus, and in an effort to preserve cash and reduce operating costs, we reduced the amount of space we occupied and implemented a reduction in force.

Prior to May 2004, we were engaged in product development, sales, distribution and services for the healthcare industry.  We transitioned to being a development stage company on May 18, 2004, when we completed the acquisition of certain intellectual property assets from Advanced Bio/Chem, Inc. and began focusing on research and development relating to those assets.
 
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited interim financial statements of Power3 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Power3’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2009 presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
12

 
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Our revenues generated from the license agreement with Transgenomic, Inc. accounted for nearly 100% of our total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Lattice Valuation Model
 
Power3 valued the conversion features in their convertible notes using a lattice valuation model, with the assistance of a valuation consultant. The lattice model values the embedded derivatives based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. This model is based on future projections of the five primary alternatives possible for settlement of the features included within the embedded derivative, including: (1) payments are made in cash, (2) payments are made in stock, (3) the holder exercises its right to convert the debentures, (4) Power3 exercises its right to convert the debentures and (5) Power3 defaults on the debentures. Power3 uses the model to analyze (a) the underlying economic factors that influence which of these events will occur, (b) when they are likely to occur, and (c) the common stock price and specific terms of the debentures such as interest rate and conversion price that will be in effect when they occur. Based on the analysis of these factors, Power3 uses the model to develop a set of potential scenarios. Probabilities of each scenario occurring during the remaining term of the debentures are determined based on management's projections. These probabilities are used to create a cash flow projection over the term of the debentures and determine the probability that the projected cash flow will be achieved. A discounted weighted average cash flow for each scenario is then calculated and compared to the discounted cash flow of the debentures without the compound embedded derivative in order to determine a value for the compound embedded derivative.
 
Black−Scholes Valuation Model
 
Power3 uses the Black−Scholes pricing model to determine the fair values of its warrants. The model uses market sourced inputs such as interest rates, stock prices, and option volatilities, the selection of which requires management's judgment, and which may impact net income or loss. In particular, Power3 uses volatility rates based upon the closing stock price of Power3’s common stock. Power3 uses a risk free interest rate which is the U.S. Treasury bill rate for a security with a maturity that approximates the estimated expected life of the derivative or security.
 
Net Loss Per Share
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The per share amounts include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with net income. Basic and diluted loss per share is the same for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 as the effect of our potential common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
Effective January 1, 2006, Power3 began recording compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R, “Share−Based Payment,” as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Prior to January 1, 2006, Power3 had accounted for stock options according to the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and therefore no related compensation expense was recorded for awards granted with no intrinsic value. Power3 adopted the modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS 123R, and, consequently, has not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods.

Stock issued to employees is recorded at the fair value of the shares granted based upon the closing market price of Power3’s stock at the measurement date and recognized as compensation expense over the applicable requisite service period. Warrants granted to non-employees are recorded at the estimated fair value of the options granted using the Black-Scholes pricing model and recognized as general and administrative expense over the applicable requisite service period.

 
13

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded compensation expense of approximately $184,000 within employee compensation and benefits as a result of the straight-line vesting of a restricted stock award of 12 million shares and an option for 10 million shares during the year.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded no compensation expense within employee compensation and benefits as a result of the vesting of restricted stock or option awards.  As of June 30, 2009, there was approximately $233,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested restricted stock award, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of nearly three years.

The fair value of the option granted to an employee during 2009 was estimated on its respective grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The Black-Scholes model was used with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 0.72%, based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant; a dividend yield of zero percent; an expected life of 1.5 years, based on half of the term of the agreement; a volatility rate of 256.68% based on the historical volatility of our stock over a time that is consistent with the expected life of the option; and no forfeiture assumed.

All of the Company’s accounting policies are not included in this Form 10-Q.  A more comprehensive set of accounting policies adopted by the Company are included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and are herein incorporated by reference.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Power3 does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
 
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
 
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, Power3 incurred net loss chargeable to common shareholders of $2,397,304 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and has total accumulated deficits of $71,629,730 as of that date. These conditions create an uncertainty as to Power3's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through various funding arrangements. If Power3 is unable to successfully obtain additional financing, it will not have sufficient cash to continue operations.  As of June 30, 2009, Power3 had $19,312 in cash and cash equivalents.  Power3 needs additional capital immediately to fund its liquidity requirements.  Power3 is seeking between $3 million and $5 million in new financing during 2009.  Power3 believes that $3 million is the minimum amount of financing it needs to repay existing obligations and to continue funding its new business strategy for at least 12 months following the date of this report.  Power3 will need to raise additional funds from either one or a combination of additional financings or otherwise obtain capital, in order to satisfy its future liquidity requirements. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if Power3 is unable to continue as a going concern.

Overview
 
Power3 Medical Products, Inc. has been a development stage company since May 2004, with our primary business activities focused on the development of our intellectual property assets in the area of diagnoses for breast cancer, ALS, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.  In September 2008, Steven B. Rash, our then Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, resigned from all of his positions with us.  Ira L. Goldknopf, our sole remaining director and Chief Scientific Officer, was appointed as President and Interim Chairman of the Board.  Helen R. Park was appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer.  Under the direction of our restructured management team, we implemented a new strategy focusing on commercialization of our intellectual property assets, with less emphasis on research and development.  In connection with our new focus, and in an effort to preserve cash and reduce operating costs, we reduced the amount of space we occupied and implemented a reduction in force.

Prior to May 2004, we were engaged in product development, sales, distribution and services for the healthcare industry.  We transitioned to being a development stage company on May 18, 2004, when we completed the acquisition of certain intellectual property assets from Advanced Bio/Chem, Inc. and began focusing on research and development relating to those assets.  On September 12, 2003, we completed a one-for-fifty reverse stock split and changed our name from Surgical Safety Products, Inc. to Power3 Medical Products, Inc.

Results of Operations
 
Revenues
 
We had our first substantial influx of revenues resulting from our January 2009 license agreement with Transgenomic, Inc., which includes the $100,000 up-front license execution fee.   Total revenues were $35,711 and $168,477 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  We had no revenues in the same periods in 2008.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Employee compensation was reduced from $526,905 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $276,294 for the same period in 2009 as we replaced our employees with contractors and significantly reduced headcount.  Employee compensation increased from $242,984 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $258,737 for the same period in 2009 primarily due to the charge related to the warrant issued to our Chief Financial Officer on June 1, 2009 to purchase 10 million common shares of our stock.  Professional and consulting fees, mostly resulting from costs associated with our statutory filings and strategic funding initiatives, were reduced from 2008; $725,794 and $811,492 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively versus $544,518 and $625,335 for the same three and six month periods in 2009, respectively.  Occupancy and equipment is also substantially reduced due to our scaling back of our office space in 2009; $23,444 and $67,940 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively versus $4,427 and $19,126 for the same three and six month periods in 2009.  Travel and entertainment was reduced from $22,246 and $78,702 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively to just $1,963 and $2,692 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, reflecting a more scaled back operation from that in 2008.  Similarly, general and administrative expenses were reduced from $48,089 and $155,262 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 versus $40,712 and $128,716 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Other Income and Expense
 
The upward change in the derivative liabilities resulted mostly from an increase in our stock price from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009.  Our change in derivative liabilities caused a corresponding expense of $156,651 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus a gain of $2,420,860 for the same period in 2008.  However our decrease in our stock price from March 31, 2009 to June 30, 2009 resulted in a gain of $589,693 in derivative liabilities versus a gain of $252,244 for the same period in 2008.  Additionally, we had $124,295 and $1,008,029 in losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively on conversion of certain debt instruments to equity as a result of our attempt to reduce the Company’s debt load.  For the same periods in 2008, our loss was $2,384.  Interest expense was significantly reduced from $196,621 and $585,237 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively to $137,739 and $314,835 for the same periods in 2009, owing to the above-mentioned reduction in debt and elimination of debt discounts on their conversion.
 
Deemed Dividends
 
Certain of our warrants were re-priced during March 2009, resulting in a deemed dividend charge to common shareholders of $34,103 for the six months ended June 30, 2009   For the same period in 2008, we had $12,072 of such deemed dividends.
 
Net Income/ (Loss)
 
Our net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $486,987 and $2,397,304. Our net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $1,009,795, and our net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $199,316. The change is due to the factors listed above, most notably the change in value of derivative liabilities resulting from the change in our stock price.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our liquidity and capital needs relate primarily to working capital, development and other general corporate requirements. Although we have recorded our first significant revenues from our January 2009 contract with Transgenomic. Inc., we have not yet generated any net positive cash from operations. We have an immediate need for capital to continue our current operations, and in addition, are seeking additional capital from research grants, collaboration agreements, and other strategic alliances.

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $56,185 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1,007,315 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The change in net cash used in operating activities during 2009 was primarily due to changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities, and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2009.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $119,666 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $982,404 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease in cash provided by financing activities during 2009 is due to a reduction in the sale of our common stock.

As of June 30, 2009, our principal source of liquidity was $19,312 in cash.
 
Plan of Operation and Cash Requirements
 
We currently have few operating revenues from product sales or the performance of services and we continue to experience net operating losses. We are actively pursuing third party licensing agreements, collaboration agreements, distribution agreements and similar business arrangements in order to establish an adequate revenue base utilizing our capabilities in disease diagnosis based on protein and biomarker identification, and drug resistance in the areas of cancers, neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases. We have undertaken clinical validation studies to demonstrate the diagnostic capabilities of our technologies. However, there can be no assurances when revenue-generating agreements will result in continuous revenue streams.

Our goal over the next several months is to complete Phase II of our testing of our Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease clinical trials with Transgenomic, Inc.  We hope to commercialize these tests in the fourth quarter of 2009.

We are currently seeking grants and financing to fund our operation through the point of commercialization.  We expect to incur costs of approximately $1,000,000 to that point. There is no guarantee that we can raise the required capital to fund our operation, or that our products, once commercialized, will generate adequate revenues to sustain our operation.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Not applicable.
 
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 
24

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
 
Change In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During our review of our internal control over financial reporting for the period ended June 30, 2009, and in the process of preparing this report, our management discovered that there are material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  The material weaknesses identified during the preparation of this report were (i) insufficient evidence of a robust corporate governance function; (ii) lack of sufficient resources to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements could be prepared in accordance with GAAP; (iii) inadequate security over information technology; and (iv) lack of evidence to document compliance with the operation of internal accounting controls in accordance with our policies and procedures.  These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement of significant accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.  Accordingly, management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we hired a Chief Financial Officer to oversee financial reporting and instituting internal control over financial reporting.  Management is currently evaluating additional remediation plans for the above control deficiencies, including (i) appointing a director to fill the vacancy on the Board of Directors resulting from the resignation of a former director in September 2008; (ii) engaging an information technology consultant to review present security over our information technology and propose additional security measures to enhance the security of our information technology; and, (iii) engaging a consultant licensed as a Certified Public Accountant to assist us with the preparation and analysis of our interim and financial reporting to ensure compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and to ensure corporate compliance.

ARTICLE 5
COMPENSATION

5.1            Royalties.  In partial consideration for the license granted hereunder, during the term of this Agreement, Transgenomic shall pay to Power3 royalties as follows:

  5.1.1          Transgenomic shall pay to Power3 royalties for the license granted in Section 4.1 at a rate (the “Royalty Rate”) of 20% of Net Sales, but not to exceed 25% of the gross profit (as calculated pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) derived by Transgenomic from such Net Sales; provided, however, such royalties shall in no case be less than 10% of Net Sales.  Such royalties shall be due and payable on a calendar quarterly basis and shall be submitted by Transgenomic along with the report as specified in Section 6.1 below.


5.2            Third Party Licenses.  If Transgenomic is reasonably required to take a license under any Third Party patents to use the Licensed Technology as reasonably determined by Transgenomic, and Transgenomic’s total royalty burden for Net Sales exceeds the applicable Royalty Rate plus four percent  (4%) (in sum, the “Royalty Cap”), the Royalty Rate payable hereunder shall be reduced proportionally in accordance with the following formula:
 
 
7

 

R2 = R1 x (Royalty Cap/T)
Where:
R1 is the Royalty Rate
R2 is the adjusted reduced Royalty Rate hereunder
T is the total royalty rates (on a percentage basis) due to all licensors

By way of example, if the Royalty Rate owed under Section 5.1.1. is 20% (R1) and two additional patent licenses are needed from two Third Parties and these two other royalty rates are 3% and 3.25% (total of 6.25%), the value of T is 26.25 %, the Royalty Cap is 24%  and the Royalty Rate due under this Agreement, as adjusted (R2), is 20 x (24 % /26.25%) or 18.29 %.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Royalty Rate due under this Agreement be reduced to less than ten percent (10%) of Net Sales.

5.3           License Execution Fee.

 5.3.1          Within three (3) days following execution of this Agreement Transgenomic shall deliver to Power3 via wire transfer the amount of $100,000.

5.4           Milestone Fees.  Transgenomic shall pay to Power3 the following milestone fees within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the applicable milestone event:

 
$15,000 upon publication of  peer reviewed scientific journal article(s) on biomarkers, clinical validations, medical and scientific findings and implications of the Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Lou Gehrig’s disease blood tests.
 
Shares of Transgenomic Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value of $100,000 upon the First Commercial Sale
 
Shares of Transgenomic Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value of $500,000 upon reaching a cumulative total of $15,000,000 of Net Sales

For purposes of this Section 5.4, the “Fair Market Value” of each share of Transgenomic Common Stock means the average of its market prices on each of the 20 trading days prior to the date for which the determination is being made, with each market price being the average of the high and low sale prices of the Transgenomic Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market System on such trading day, or, in the event that no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices on such day, or, if the Transgenomic Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average of the high and low sale prices reported on the principal national securities exchange on which the Transgenomic Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on such trading day, or, if no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day on the principal national securities exchange on which the Transgenomic Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or, if the Transgenomic Common Stock is not quoted on such National Market System nor listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market on such day as reported through Nasdaq, or, if bid and asked prices for the Transgenomic Common Stock on such day are not reported through Nasdaq, the average of the bid and asked prices for such day as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Transgenomic Common Stock selected in good faith for such purpose by Transgenomic, or, if none of the foregoing is applicable, then the fair market value of the Transgenomic Common Stock as mutually determined in good faith by Transgenomic and Power3.

7.4           Late Fees.   Any payments required to be made by Transgenomic pursuant to this Agreement shall, if overdue, bear interest at the “prime rate” of interest as published by the Wall Street Journal for the first business day following the due date, plus one percent (1%), or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.  The payment of such interest shall not preclude Power3 from exercising any other rights it may have because any payment is overdue.

ARTICLE 8
DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION OBLIGATIONS

8.1. Continued Development. Within thirty (30) days following the execution of this Agreement, Transgenomic shall create a bank account funded with the amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000), said account to be owned by Transgenomic, and which funds will be used by Power3, with prior agreement by Transgenomic, to fund Power3’s clinical validation activities of the Neurodegenerative Diagnostic Tests; provided that the availability of such funds to Power3 shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Disbursement Control Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between Power 3 Medical Products, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), and John P. Ginzler, (the “Officer”) is executed this 1 day of June, 2009 and shall be effective for all purposes as of April 29, 2009 (the “Effective Date”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Officer commenced employment with the Company on April 29, 2009;

WHEREAS, Company and the Officer desire to continue the Officer’s employment and enter into the Agreement to reflect the parties’ mutual understanding and intent, in its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements herein provided, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. 
EMPLOYMENT TERMS

1.1            Term.  The Company hereby employs the Officer, and the Officer hereby accepts employment with the Company, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, for a term commencing on April 29, 2009 and terminating on December 31, 2012.  However, the Officer shall be considered to be employed by the Company beyond the Termination Date for purposes of receiving certain benefits conferred under this Agreement, as described in Paragraph 3.1 hereof.

 
1.2
Position and Duties.

(a)            The Company hereby employs the Officer, and the Officer agrees to serve the Company, as an Officer of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The Company has by action of its Board of Directors appointed the Officer to the position of Chief Financial Officer, however it may, in the sole and unfettered discretion of the Board of Directors, amend the Officer’s title and/or duties and responsibilities, provided that the Officer remains an officer of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)            The Officer shall be responsible for such duties as are commensurate with the office in which he serves and as may from time to time be assigned to the Officer by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 
 

 

 
1.3
Performance of Duties.

(a)            At all times prior to the Termination Date, the Officer (i) shall devote his full business time, energies, best efforts, and attention to the business of the Company, (ii) shall faithfully and diligently perform the duties of his employment with the Company, (iii) shall do all reasonably in his power to promote, develop, and extend the business of the Company, and (iv) shall not enter into the service of, or be employed in any capacity or for any purpose whatsoever by, any person, firm or corporation other than the Company without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b)            The Officer shall perform his duties in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, or regulations that apply to the Company and/or its business, assets (real or personal), or employees.

2.            COMPENSATION.

2.1           Salary.

(a)           For so long as Officer is employed by the Company, the Company agrees to pay to the Officer, and the Officer shall accept from the Company, for all of his services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, a salary of One Hundred  Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000) per annum, payable semimonthly for the period beginning May 1, 2009.

(b)           The Company’s Board of Directors, or compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), shall review the Officer’s salary annually and merit increases thereon shall be considered and may be approved, in the sole and unlimited discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, depending in part on the profits and cash flow of the Company.  If the Company’s Board of Directors elects in its discretion to increase the salary of the Officer at any time or from time to time, the new salary rate shall, without further action by the Officer or the Company, be deemed substituted for the amount set forth above.  At such time, this Agreement shall be deemed amended accordingly (notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 7.8 below), and, as so amended, shall remain in full force and effect.

2.2           Bonuses. The Company, in the sole and unfettered discretion of its Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, may from time to time award additional cash bonuses to the Officer based upon its measure of Officer’s performance.  Such bonuses may be awarded in a lump sum or may be conditioned upon the future performance or employment of Officer, in the sole and unfettered discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company.

2.3           Expenses. Upon submission of appropriate invoices or vouchers, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Officer for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Officer in the performance of his duties hereunder in furtherance of the business of the Company.

 
2

 

2.4           Benefits.

(a)           The Company extends to the Officer the right to participate in whatever employee benefit plans (excluding any employee benefit plan covered separately in this Agreement) may be in effect from time to time, to the extent the Officer is eligible under the terms of the plans.  However, no employee benefits other than those specifically conferred by the terms of this Agreement have been promised to the Officer in connection with this employment.  The adoption of one or more employee benefit plans, the terms of the plans, and the Officer’s participation in the plans, if any, are in the sole discretion of the Company and may be changed by the Company at any time and from time to time.
(b)           COBRA benefits

(i)           The Officer has elected to participate in his former company’s COBRA plan for medical and dental benefits, effective May 1, 2009.

(ii)           For so long as Officer is employed by the Company, and for so long as the Company does not extend company-sponsored medical and dental benefits to the employee as part of an employee benefit plan, the Company agrees to pay to the Officer, and the Officer shall accept from the Company, a monthly amount consistent with the Officer’s monthly Cobra premium paid by the Officer to his former employer beginning May 1, 2009.  The Company understands that the Officer’s former company may adjust the Officer’s Cobra rates in subsequent years, and the Company agrees to pay to the Officer, and the Officer shall accept from the Company, an amount consistent with revised premium amounts.

(iii)           The Officer agrees that he will reimburse the Company for any tax credits or subsidies available to him through the COBRA Premium Subsidy in conjunction with the enactment of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “Stimulus Bill”). The Company understands and agrees that such credit available through the Stimulus Bill to the Officer is highly unlikely due to the income limitations established in the Stimulus Bill, and the Officer did not elect to receive the premium reduction subsidy due to his projected income levels.

2.5           Stock Grant.

(a)           To induce the Officer to accept the position of Chief Financial Officer, and subject to the terms of this Paragraph 2.5, the Officer is hereby granted by the Company, effective upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, Twelve Million (12,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Restricted Shares”). The grant of the Restricted Shares shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) The Restricted Shares time vest in 33.33% increments annually over a three-year total period from the anniversary of the date of issue of the Restricted Shares.

 
3

 

(ii)           If the Officer’s employment with the Company shall cease or terminate for just cause, then the Officer shall forfeit all of such unvested Restricted Stock to the Company, and the Officer shall have no claim or right, either express or implied, against the Company for any compensation, payment or benefit in lieu of the Restricted Stock so forfeited or otherwise.  In addition, unless and until the Officer’s rights in the foregoing Restricted Stock become non-forfeitable by virtue of the satisfaction of the foregoing condition, the Officer shall have no right to, and the Officer hereby agrees that he shall not, sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, encumber, give, grant or otherwise transfer such Restricted Stock or alienate his then-current or expected future rights to such Restricted Stock, and the certificates representing all of such Restricted Stock shall prominently bear appropriate legends reflecting these restrictions and the Company’s stock register shall likewise reflect these restrictions. Furthermore, until such time as the restricted stock becomes non-forfietable, the Company retains the right, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, to use any of such shares as deemed necessary, solely to pledge as collateral to raise funds for the benefit of the company. In the event that such shares become forfeit of a pledge, the company may at the discretion of the board of directors issue replacement shares to the employee under the restrictions of this agreement. During the course of the pledge, the voting rights of the pledged shares remain with the employee.

(iii)           Upon issuance of the Restricted Stock, except for the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 2.5, the Officer shall have all rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to such Restricted Stock including the right to vote such Restricted Stock and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Restricted Stock; provided, however, dividends, if any, paid or distributed on the Restricted Stock shall not be paid by the Company to the Officer unless and until such time as the Restricted Stock becomes nonforfeitable.

(iv)           In the event of a Change in Control (as herein defined), the Company will waive in whole any and all remaining restrictions on the Restricted Stock.  For purposes hereof, a Change of Control shall mean, and shall be deemed to have occurred:

(A)           if any person, other than any benefit plan of the Company or Ira L. Goldknopf, as holder of the Series B Preferred Stock, directly or indirectly, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of securities representing 51% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding securities, but excluding any such acquisition pursuant to a merger, consolidation or similar business combination involving the Company; or

 
4

 

(B)           upon the consummation of a merger, consolidation, or similar business combination involving the Company, other than any such transaction which results in at least 75% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the surviving entity (or the parent entity thereof) outstanding immediately after such transaction being beneficially owned by at least 75% of the holders of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to the transaction with the voting power of each such continuing holder relative to other such continuing holders not being substantially altered in the transaction; or

(C)           upon the Board of Directors or the shareholders of the Company approving a plan of complete or substantially complete liquidation of the Company; or

(D)           upon the consummation of the sale, lease, or disposition by the Company of 50% or more of the total assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions (provided that a license, sublicense or similar transaction involving the Company’s intellectual property rights shall not be considered as a Change of Control); or

(E)           upon the individuals who constitute the Board as of the Effective Date (the “Incumbent Board”) ceasing for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director after the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than any individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either (a) an actual or threatened election contest or (b) an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board) shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board.

(v)           The Restricted Shares shall have demand registration rights or piggyback registration rights (neither of which, however, shall be effective unless and until the Officer’s rights to such shares have ceased to be subject to the risks of forfeiture as provided herein).

(vi)           The Officer agrees to pay in a timely manner deemed suitable by the Company, and to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from, any and all taxes (including all penalties and interest, if any, thereon), resulting from the grant and/or transfer of the above-referenced Restricted Stock for which ultimate responsibility is assigned to or asserted against the Officer under applicable law.  For purposes of this provision, all withholding obligations of the Company in respect of the aforementioned taxes (including any and all taxes, penalties and interest imposed on or asserted against the Company for failure to properly withhold and remit any such amounts in a timely manner) shall be considered the responsibility of the Officer and, accordingly, the Officer agrees to pay in a timely manner deemed suitable by the Company, and to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from, any and all of such obligations.

 
5

 

(b)            To induce the Officer to accept the position of Chief Financial Officer, and subject to the terms of this Paragraph 2.5, the Officer is hereby granted by the Company, effective upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, a warrant to purchase an additional Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”) at $0.02 per share three years after the date of this Warrant.

2.6           Vacation; Sick Leave. The Company’s vacation and sick leave policy has been established by the Company and may be changed by the Company at any time and from time to time.  Said policy is published in separate data files accessible to the Officer.  The Officer will not be entitled to receive payment for any unused sick leave either during employment or upon termination of employment.

2.7           Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement any and all federal, state, city, or other taxes or other amounts required to be withheld by any applicable law.

3.            TERMINATION.

3.1           Termination Upon 30 Days Notice.

(a)           Either party may terminate the Officer’s employment under this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, either with or without cause, upon giving the other party no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such termination ( the “Notice Date”).  The effective date of a termination pursuant to this Paragraph 3.1 shall be such termination date as stated on the notice, provided that the termination date can be no earlier than the 31st day following the day the notice becomes effective pursuant to Paragraph 5.4 below (the “Termination Date”).

(b)           Until the expiration of the contract on May 17, 2009 (“Transition Period”), unless terminated for “Cause” as defined in Paragraph 3.4 or if the Officer resigns from his position or duties, the Officer will continue to be considered as an employee of the Company only for the purpose of receiving the compensation and benefits awarded in Paragraphs 2.1, 2.2, and 2.4 hereof.  More specifically, for the duration of Transition Period the Officer (i) shall continue to receive his salary at the rate in effect as of the Notice Date, (ii) shall continue to be considered an employee of the Company for purposes of determining eligibility to receive any contingent or deferred bonuses awarded to the Officer prior to the Termination Date, (iii) shall continue to be considered an officer of the Company for purposes of vesting in any stock options granted to Officer (but not for purposes of the forfeiture restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock as set forth in Paragraph 2.5), and (iv) shall, to the extent allowed by such plan, remain eligible to participate in any benefit plan of the Company in which the Officer participates as of the Notice Date.

(c)           Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, however, the Officer will not be entitled to act as, or represent himself to be, an officer or employee of the Company following the Termination date and will not be entitled to receive or participate in any bonus, incentive, or benefit program, involving stock or otherwise, that is established following the Termination Date.

3.4           Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated for Cause by either party for the following reasons, only:
