1.  
ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Celsius Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 26, 2005. On January 26, 2007, the Company acquired Elite FX, Inc., a Florida corporation by merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Since the merger, the Company has been engaged in the business of Elite FX, Inc., the development, marketing, sale and distribution of “functional” calorie-burning beverages under the Celsius® brand name.
 

2.  
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of the results for the interim periods presented. A complete summary of significant accounting policies, some of which are discussed below, can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2010.
 
Earnings per Share — Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of preferred shares, exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the reverse treasury stock method). As of September 30, 2010 there were warrants and options outstanding to purchase 2.8 million shares, which exercise price averaged $4.74. The dilutive common shares equivalents, including convertible notes, preferred stock and warrants, of 150,423 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Total dilutive common shares
              150,423  
 
If all dilutive instruments were exercised using the reverse treasury stock method, then the total number of shares outstanding would be 18.6 million shares.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
All new accounting pronouncements issued (including those not yet effective) have been deemed to not be applicable; hence the adoption of these new standards does not, and is not expected to, have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
 
Liquidity
 
As of September 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.4 million and working capital of $4.8 million, and we have $2.0 million of available funds in a loan agreement. Cash used in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $11.1 million. We incurred a net loss of $13.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and our accumulated deficit increased to $33.1 million as of September 30, 2010.
 
The Company has not met its internal operating plan for the third quarter and accordingly, additional financial resources will be required to fund operations in 2011. The Company has engaged Zenith International, a consulting and advisory firm, to explore strategic options in regard to the Company’s capital needs. We expect this analysis to be complete by year-end with a possible transaction to be completed sometime in the first quarter of 2011. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The Company expects to have sufficient available capital through the first quarter of 2011.
 
 
CELSIUS HOLDINGS, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Our financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2010 were prepared assuming we would continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that could result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE, RELATED PARTIES
 
The Company entered into a loan agreement for up to $6.5 million in September 2009 and issued a convertible note to one of its shareholders. The note originally carried interest of one month LIBOR plus 3%, payable the first time on the anniversary of the agreement, thereafter quarterly. The loan matures on September 9, 2012. The outstanding balance can be immediately converted into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price. The conversion price was originally based on a price of $8.00 per share, or a market price calculation at the date of conversion. In order to comply with the listing requirements for the Nasdaq Stock Market, in January 2010, the parties amended the convertible loan agreement to set the conversion price to $10.20, which was the consolidated closing bid price of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the business day prior to the date the loan agreement was entered into. At the same time the interest rate was increased to one month LIBOR plus 7%. The Company recorded a debt discount totaling $362,500 with a credit to additional paid in capital for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the conversion option at the time of each draw on the loan. The Company recorded $32,919 and $7,225 as interest expense amortizing the debt discount during 2009 and 2010, respectively, and the remaining balance, $322,356, was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt when the loan was materially modified in January 2010. The Company considered requirements by the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the ASC and other guidance and concluded that the conversion option should not be bifurcated from the host contract and the conversion option is recorded as equity and not a liability. In January 2010, the Company borrowed $1.0 million and then owed $6.5 million. In March 2010, the shareholder converted $4.5 million of the note to 441,176 shares of the Company’s common stock, (a conversion price of $10.20 per share). The net outstanding balance as of September 30, 2010 was $2,000,000.
 
The Company entered into a refinance agreement for $615,000 in September, 2009 and issued a convertible note to one of its shareholders. The Company restructured an already existing note issued to the shareholder. The outstanding balance can be immediately converted into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price from September 8, 2009 through and including September 8, 2012, equal to the lesser of (i) $8.00 per share, or (ii) the average of the ten daily VWAPs for the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the date on which a conversion notice is received (defined in the note as the “Market Price”); or (B) after December 31, 2011 the greater of (i) $8.00 per share, or (ii) the Market Price; provided that, the conversion price shall never be less than $2.00 (two dollars) regardless of the Market Price on the conversion date. The Company recorded a debt discount totaling $184,500 with a credit to additional paid in capital for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the conversion option at the time of issuance. The shareholder converted the entire debt in March 2010 to 176,659 shares of the Company’s common stock (a conversion price of $3.48 per share). The Company recorded $10,592 and $19,133 as interest expense amortizing the debt discount during 2010 and 2009, respectively, and the remaining balance of $154,775 was recorded upon conversion as interest expense. The Company considered requirements by the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the ASC and other guidance and concluded that the conversion option should not be bifurcated from the host contract and the conversion option is recorded as equity and not a liability.
 

6.  
PREFERRED STOCK
 
On August 8, 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“SPA1”) with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC (“CDS”), an affiliate of CD Financial, LLC (“CD”). Pursuant to SPA1, the Company issued 100 Series A preferred shares (“Preferred A Shares”), as well as a warrant to purchase an additional 50 Preferred A Shares, for a cash payment of $1.5 million and the cancellation of two notes in aggregate amount of $500,000 issued to CD. The Preferred A Shares can be converted into Company common stock at any time. SPA1 was amended on December 12, 2008 to provide that until December 31, 2010 the conversion price is $1.60, after which the conversion price is the greater of $1.60 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the prior 10 trading days. Pursuant to SPA1, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company filed a registration statement for the common stock issuable upon conversion of the initially purchased Preferred A Shares. The registration statement filed in connection with the Preferred A Shares was declared effective on May 14, 2009.

9.  
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company adopted an Incentive Stock Plan on January 18, 2007. This plan is intended to provide incentives which will attract and retain highly competent persons at all levels as employees of the Company, as well as independent contractors providing consulting or advisory services to the Company, by providing them opportunities to acquire the Company's common stock or to receive monetary payments based on the value of such shares pursuant to Awards issued. While the plan terminates 10 years after the adoption date, issued options have their own schedule of termination. Until 2017, options to acquire up to 2.5 million shares of common stock may be granted at no less than fair market value on the date of grant. Upon exercise, shares of new common stock are issued by the Company.
 
The Company has issued approximately 1.4 million options, which are still outstanding or have been exercised, to purchase shares at an average price of $4.26 with a fair value of $3.0 million. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $738,295 and $346,826, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense (included in General and Administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations). As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, the Company had approximately $1.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of unrecognized pre-tax non-cash compensation expense which the Company expects to recognize, based on a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the two to three year requisite service or vesting period of the grant. There are options to purchase approximately 808,000 shares that have vested, and 236,000 shares were exercised as of September 30, 2010. The following is a summary of the assumptions used:
 
Risk-free interest rate
 
1.6% - 4.9%
Expected dividend yield
 
Expected term
 
3 – 5 years
Expected annual volatility
 
70% - 90%
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock option awards and warrant issuances. The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the Black - Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant as well as assumptions regarding the following:
 
CELSIUS HOLDINGS, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  
Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of these peer entities over a period equal to the expected life of the awards, which ranges from 3 to 4 years. The Company uses the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price in the market in which its shares trade which can be expected to repeat itself in the future. This is due to among other things that in the past the Company’s stock has traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and will now trade on the NASDAQ National Market;
 
  
The expected term represents the period of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding .With the passage of time, actual behavioral patterns surrounding the expected term will replace the current methodology;
 
  
The expected dividend yield is 0, based on the  Company’s policy not to issue cash dividends; and
 
  
The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award.
 
During 2009, the Company issued a total of 14,801 shares as compensation to a consultant and a distributor at a fair value of $36,125 and no shares have been issued in 2010.

An investment banking firm received, as placement agent for the Fusion Capital financing, a warrant to purchase 3,750 shares at a price of $26.20 per share. If unexercised, the warrant expires on June 22, 2012.
 
In March, 2008 the Company issued a total of 500,000 unregistered shares of common stock in a private placement, for an aggregate consideration of $500,100. In addition, the investor received a warrant to purchase 350,000 unregistered shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.60 per share. If unexercised, the warrant expires on March 28, 2011.
 
In February 2010 as part of the secondary offering, the company issued warrants to purchase 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.32. The warrants expire on February 8, 2013. The company also issued a warrant to the underwriter to purchase 18,000 units at $16.125 per unit, each unit consisting of four shares and a warrant to purchase one additional share at an exercise price of $5.32.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company has entered into distribution agreements with liquidated damages in case the Company cancels the distribution agreements without cause. Cause has been defined in various ways.
 
There is one agreement that also has liquidated damages, but instead of a monetary damage, the potential liability is to have to issue shares to the distributor at a purchase price of $1.20. The quantity of shares depends on this distributor’s purchases from the Company as compared to the Company’s total revenue. It is the management’s belief that no such agreement has created any liability as of September 30, 2010.
 

12.  
BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATION
 
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue derives from the sale of the Celsius beverage.
 
The Company uses single supplier relationships for its raw materials purchases and filling capacity, which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of business risk. If these suppliers had operational problems or ceased making product available to the Company, operations could be adversely affected. No vendor accounted for more than 10% of total payments.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded revenue from two customers totaling 48.2% of the Company’s total revenue.

OVERVIEW
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements including the notes to those financial statements. Dollar amounts of $1.0 million or more are rounded to the nearest one tenth of a million; all other dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars and all percentages are stated to the nearest one tenth of one percent.
 
Our Business
 
We are engaged in the development, marketing, sale and distribution of “functional” calorie-burning beverages under the Celsius® brand name. According to multiple clinical studies we funded, a single serving (12 ounce can) of Celsius® burns up to 100 calories by increasing a consumer’s metabolism an average of 12% and providing sustained energy for up to a three-hour period.
 
We seek to combine nutritional science with mainstream beverages by using our proprietary thermogenic (calorie-burning) MetaPlus® formulation, while fostering the goal of healthier everyday refreshment by being as natural as possible without the artificial preservatives often found in many energy drinks and sodas. Celsius® has no artificial preservatives, aspartame or high fructose corn syrup and is very low in sodium. Celsius® uses good-for-you ingredients and supplements such as green tea (EGCG), ginger, calcium, chromium, B vitamins and vitamin C. Celsius is sweetened with sucralose, a sugar-derived sweetener that is found in Splenda®, which makes our beverages low-calorie and suitable for consumers whose sugar intake is restricted.
 
We have undertaken significant marketing efforts aimed at building brand awareness, including a recently launched nationwide marketing campaign focused on television, radio, on-line and magazine advertising. We also undertake various promotions at the retail level such as coupons and other discounts. We have engaged Mario Lopez, a well-known television personality, to be our national celebrity spokesperson.
 
 
Until the first quarter of 2009, we mainly sold and distributed our products through a network of independent regional distributors and wholesalers.  In order to achieve more national market penetration, in April 2009, we began to implement a direct-to-retail marketing strategy by retooling our sales force, working with national food and beverage brokers and supporting these efforts through an integrated national marketing campaign, which we launched in September 2009.
 
As a result, Celsius® products are now available in most retail trade channels including grocery, convenience, drug and nutrition stores, as well as mass merchants and club retailers.  Our beverages are also available in military PXs, health clubs and online at many health and nutrition oriented c-commerce sites.  Our shift in marketing emphasis has led to broader geographic distribution and increased brand awareness and is expected to continue to be our marketing focus.
 
We do not directly manufacture our beverages, but instead outsource the manufacturing process to established third-party co-packers. We do, however, provide our co-packers with flavors, ingredient blends, cans and other raw materials for our beverages purchased by us from various suppliers.
 
Corporate History and Information
 
We were incorporated in Nevada on April 26, 2005 under the name “Vector Ventures, Inc.”  In December 2006 we changed our name to Celsius Holdings, Inc. On January 26, 2007, we acquired the Celsius® beverage business of Elite FX, Inc., a Florida corporation engaged in the development of functional beverages since 2004, in a reverse merger.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 2424 N Federal Hwy, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.  Our telephone number is (561) 276-2239 and our website is www.celsius.com.  The information accessible through our website does not constitute part of this report.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of the results for the interim periods presented. A complete summary of significant accounting policies, some of which are discussed below, can be found in our annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2010.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Information regarding newly issued accounting pronouncements is contained in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this form 10-Q.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2009
 
Revenue
 
Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $1.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The increase of 31.7 % was mainly due to sales to new or recently added retail customers. We experienced a large charge to revenue due to discounts and promotions of $1.8 million in the 2010 quarter as compared to $232,000 during 2009 quarter. This increase in discounts and promotions, consisting of coupons, temporary price reductions, co-op advertising and slotting fees, is part of our strategic marketing plan. Our case volume for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased approximately 132% compared to the same period last year.
 

Gross profit
 
Gross Profit was 1.6 % in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to 42.9 % for the same period in 2009. The decrease in gross profit is due to substantially increased promotional activity as described above and an increase in freight cost due to smaller shipments to our retailers, partially offset by improved cost of our products.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Sales and marketing expenses increased substantially to $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2010 from $2.6 million for the same three-month period in 2009, or an increase of $1.6 million. This was mainly due to increases in direct advertising expenses of $1.0 million, product samplings of $510,000, internet campaign expenses of $185,000 and co-op retailer advertising of $133,000. We have substantially increased our efforts in print and television advertising and in product samplings. We continue to participate in many trade shows, sports and exercise events across the country. General and administrative expenses increased from $624,000 for the three-month period in 2009 to $772,000 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $148,000. This was mainly due to increased expense for increased professional fees of $115,000, and increased employee related expenses of $135,000, offset to a lesser degree by reduction of option expense of $84,000,
 
Other expense
 
Total other expense decreased from $50,000 for the three-month period in 2009 to $37,000, during the second quarter in 2010, or a decrease of $13,000.
 
 
Nine months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Nine months Ended September 30, 2009
 
Revenue
 
Net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $8.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The increase of 135.9 % was mainly due to sales to new or recently added retail customers. We experienced a large charge to revenue due to discounts and promotions of $3.6 million in 2010 as compared to $519,000 during the same period last year. This increase in discounts and promotions, consisting of coupons, temporary price reductions, co-op advertising and slotting fees, are part of our strategic marketing plan. Our case volume for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately three times the volume for the same period last year.
 
Gross profit
 
Gross Profit was 33.2 % in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 42.9 % for the same period in 2009. The decrease is due to the increased promotional activity as described above and an increase in freight cost due to smaller shipments to our retailers’ distribution centers, partially offset improved cost of our products.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Sales and marketing expenses increased substantially to $12.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 from $5.3 million for the same nine-month period in 2009, or an increase of $7.6 million. This was mainly due to increases in direct advertising expenses of $4.2 million, product samplings of $1.9 million, internet campaign expenses of $242,000, co-op retailer advertising of $490,000, and retailer broker fees of $278,000. We have substantially increased our efforts in print, radio and television advertising and in product samplings. We continue to participate in many trade shows, sports and exercise events across the country. General and administrative expenses increased from $1.4 million for the nine-month period in 2009 to $3.1 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $1.7 million. This was mainly due to increased employee related expenses of $703,000, increased expense for granting options of $361,000 and increased professional fees of $312,000.
 
Other expense
 
Total other expense increased from $106,000 for the nine-month period in 2009 to $647,000 during the same period in 2010, or an increase of $541,000. This increase is mainly due to the loss on extinguishment of debt of $322,000, increase of debt discount amortization of $132,000 and increase of interest on loans of $85,000.
 

 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
As of September 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.4 million and working capital of $4.8 million, and we have $2.0 million of available funds in a loan agreement. Cash used in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $11.1 million. We incurred a net loss of $13.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and our accumulated deficit increased to $33.1 million as of September 30, 2010.
 
The Company has not met its internal operating plan for the third quarter and accordingly, additional financial resources will be required to fund operations in 2011. We have engaged Zenith International, a consulting and advisory firm, to explore strategic options in regard to the Company’s capital needs. We expect this analysis to be complete by year-end with a possible transaction to be completed sometime in the first quarter of 2011. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. We expect to have sufficient available capital through the first quarter of 2011.
 
Our financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2010 were prepared assuming we would continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that could result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
We borrowed $50,000 from the CEO of the Company in February 2006. We also owed the CEO $171,000 for accrued salaries from 2006 and 2007. The two debts were restructured in to one note accruing 3% interest, monthly payments of $5,000 and with a balloon payment of $64,000 in January 2011. The outstanding balance under the note as of September 30, 2010 was $79,000.
 
In September 2009, we entered into a $6.5 million loan agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC. The loan is due in September 2012. Interest was set at 300 basis points over the one-month LIBOR rate. The first interest payment is due in September 2010 and quarterly thereafter at 700 basis points over one (1) month LIBOR. On March 10, 2010, CDS converted $4.5 million of the convertible note into common stock.
 
In July 2010, we entered into a $3.0 million loan agreement with CD Financial, LLC. The loan is due in July 2012. Interest was set at five percent per annum and paid quarterly. As of September 30, 2010, the outstanding debt was $1.0 million and the remaining $2.0 million can be drawn by the company upon request.
 
Our Convertible Loan Agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC
 
On September 8, 2009, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC. Under the loan agreement, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC will lend us up to $6,500,000. The loan is due on September 8, 2012 and carries a variable interest rate equal to 300 basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. In January 2010, we agreed to increase the interest rate to 700 basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. Commencing on September 8, 2010 and continuing each three month period hereafter, we will make payments of all accrued but unpaid interest only on the unpaid principal amount. The loan can at any time be converted to shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” was originally based on a price at $8.00 per share of a market price calculation at the date of conversion. In order to comply with the listing requirements for the Nasdaq Stock Market, in January 2010 the parties amended the convertible loan agreement to set the Conversion Price at $10.20 per share, which was the consolidated closing bid price of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the business day prior to the date the agreement was entered into. In January 2010 we borrowed $1.0 million on the loan and at that point the full $6.5 million was outstanding.
 
In March 2010, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC gave notice of their election to convert $4.5 million of the convertible into 441,176 shares of common stock. The outstanding balance on the loan as of September 30, 2010 was $2,000,000.
 
Other Related Party Transactions
 
We have accrued $171,000 for Stephen Haley’s salary from March 2006 through May 30, 2007. Mr. Haley, our CEO, also lent us $50,000 in February 2006. The two debts were restructured in to one note accruing 3% interest, monthly payments of $5,000 and with a balloon payment of $64,000 in January 2011. The outstanding balance as of September 30, 2010 was $79,000.
 
 
The CEO guaranteed the lease agreement for the Company’s former offices. The CEO has not received any compensation for the guarantee. This lease was terminated on September 30, 2010.
 
The Company also rented offices from a company affiliated with CD Financial LLC. This lease was terminated on August 31, 2010.
 
In September, 2010, the Company consolidated its operations into offices rented from a company affiliated with CD Financial, LLC. Currently the lease is for one year, renewable, with a monthly rent of $10,662. The rental fee is commensurate with other properties available in the market.
 
 
Secondary Public Offering
 
On February 16, 2010, the Company sold 900,000 units resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $14.5 million. Each unit consists of four shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $5.32 per share at any time through February 8, 2013. The net proceeds of the offering after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses were approximately $13.1 million.

Not applicable
 

 
ITEM 4T.                 CONTROLS AND PROCEEDURES 
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively the “Certifying Officers”) maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management timely. The Certifying Officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the “reasonable assurance” level. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Furthermore, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures in place are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis in accordance with applicable Commission rules and regulations; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Certifying Officers and other persons that perform similar functions, if any, to allow us to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure in our periodic filings.
 
Changes in internal controls
 
We have made no changes to our internal controls during the third quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. Our management does not expect that our disclosure or internal controls will prevent all errors 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 benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
