The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of WMT, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or any other period. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for each of the two years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 has been included for comparison purposes in the accompanying balance sheet. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WMT and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Wound Care Innovations, LLC a Nevada limited liability company (“WCI”),; BioPharma Management Technologies, Inc., a Texas corporation (“BioPharma”); Resorbable Orthopedic Products, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Resorbable”); and Secure eHealth, LLC a Nevada limited liability company (“eHealth”). eHealth was purchased on February 1, 2010 and sold on December 29, 2011. The accounts of eHealth are included for the period it was under the control of the Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Fair Value Measurements As defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC Topic No. 820 are as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities. Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars. Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. At September 30, 2012, the Company’s financial instruments consist of the derivative liabilities related to stock purchase warrants and the beneficial conversion features of certain outstanding debentures and notes payable. The derivative liability on stock purchase warrants was valued using the American Options Binomial Method, a Level 3 input. The fair value of the beneficial conversion features is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic No. 470-20-25-4. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities is classified in other income (expense) in the statement of operations. Our intangible assets have also been valued using the fair value accounting treatment and a description of the methodology used, including the valuation category, is described below in Note 6 “Intangible Assets.” Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Notes Payable The convertible feature of certain notes payable provides for a rate of conversion that is below the market value of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”). Such a feature is normally characterized as a "Beneficial Conversion Feature" ("BCF"). In accordance with ASC Topic No. 470-20-25-4, the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in a convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the debt equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid in capital. When applicable, the Company records the estimated fair value of the BCF in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a discount from the face amount of the notes. Such discounts are accreted to interest expense over the term of the notes.

Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or any other period. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for each of the two years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 has been included for comparison purposes in the accompanying balance sheet. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Fair Value Measurements

As defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC Topic No. 820 are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

At September 30, 2012, the Company’s financial instruments consist of the derivative liabilities related to stock purchase warrants and the beneficial conversion features of certain outstanding debentures and notes payable. The derivative liability on stock purchase warrants was valued using the American Options Binomial Method, a Level 3 input. The fair value of the beneficial conversion features is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic No. 470-20-25-4. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities is classified in other income (expense) in the statement of operations.

Our intangible assets have also been valued using the fair value accounting treatment and a description of the methodology used, including the valuation category, is described below in Note 6 “Intangible Assets.”

Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Notes Payable

The convertible feature of certain notes payable provides for a rate of conversion that is below the market value of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”). Such a feature is normally characterized as a "Beneficial Conversion Feature" ("BCF"). In accordance with ASC Topic No. 470-20-25-4, the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in a convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the debt equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid in capital. When applicable, the Company records the estimated fair value of the BCF in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a discount from the face amount of the notes. Such discounts are accreted to interest expense over the term of the notes.
