1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

SpectraScience, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Minnesota on May 4, 1983 as GV Medical, Inc. In October 1992, GV Medical discontinued its prior business, refocused its development efforts and changed its name to SpectraScience, Inc. The “Company,” hereinafter, refers to SpectraScience, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Luma Imaging Corporation (“LUMA”), Spectra Science International, Inc. (“International”) and SpectraScience (UK) Limited (“SpectraUK”). Since 1996, the Company has focused primarily on developing the WavSTAT Optical Biopsy System (the “WavSTAT System”). 

The Company has developed and received the European CE mark approval to market a proprietary, minimally invasive technology that optically illuminates tissue in real-time to distinguish between normal, pre-cancerous or cancerous cells without the need to remove the subject cell tissue from the body to make such determinations. The WavSTAT System operates by using cool, safe laser light to optically illuminate and analyze tissue, enabling the physician to make an instant diagnosis during endoscopy when screening for cancer, and if warranted, to begin immediate treatment during the same procedure. Beginning in December 2011, the WavSTAT 4 version of the product began to be sold in the European Union for colon cancer detection. In June 2012, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with PENTAX Europe, GmbH, for the sale of its systems internationally.

On November 6, 2007, the Company acquired the assets of LUMA in an equity transaction accounted for as an acquisition of assets and now operates LUMA as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. LUMA had acquired the assets from a predecessor company that had developed, and received FDA approval for, a non-invasive diagnostic imaging system that can detect cervical cancer precursors and which utilizes an underlying technology that is similar to that of the WavSTAT System. The addition of the LUMA technology to the Company’s existing WavSTAT System technology provides the Company with a broad suite of fluorescence-based intellectual property and know-how. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company wrote off the remaining fair value of the LUMA inventory in order to focus on the continued development and marketing of the WavSTAT System. The Company retained the intellectual property of LUMA for use in the development of future generations of the WavSTAT System.

The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of assets that included intellectual property, inventory and equipment. The intellectual property consisted of a total of 34 issued U.S. patents and 28 additional patent applications.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q as they are prescribed for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Going Concern

Historically, the Company’s sources of cash have come from the issuance and sales of equity securities and convertible debentures. The Company’s historical cash outflows have been primarily used for operating activities including research, development, administrative and sales activities. Fluctuations in the Company’s working capital due to timing differences of its cash receipts and cash disbursements also impact its cash flow. The Company expects to incur significant additional operating losses through at least the end of 2015, as it completes proof-of-concept trials, conducts outcome-based clinical studies and increases sales and marketing efforts to commercialize the WavSTAT4 Systems in Europe. If the Company does not receive sufficient funding, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company may incur unknown expenses or may not be able to meet its revenue forecast, and one or more of these circumstances would require the Company to seek additional capital. The Company may not be able to obtain equity capital or debt funding on terms that are acceptable. Even if the Company receives additional funding, such proceeds may not be sufficient to allow the Company to sustain operations until it becomes profitable and begins to generate positive cash flows from operations.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $7,151,369 and cash of $69,955, compared to a working capital deficit of $5,732,125 and cash of $223,529 as of December 31, 2014. In December 2011, the Company entered into an Engagement Agreement with Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., which Engagement Agreement was amended in July 2012. Under the Engagement Agreement, Laidlaw agreed to assist the Company in raising up to $20.0 million in capital over a two year period from the date of the Engagement Agreement. Subsequent to March 31, 2013, the Company has engaged other agents to assist the Company with raising capital and has commenced raising capital on its own. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company raised $386,000, net of transaction costs of $24,000, under these agreements. However, if the Company does not receive additional funds in a timely manner, the Company could be in jeopardy as a going concern. The Company may not be able to find alternative capital or raise capital or debt on terms that are acceptable. Management believes that if the events defined in the Engagement Agreements occur as expected, or if the Company is otherwise able to raise a similar level of funds, such proceeds will be sufficient to allow the Company to sustain operations until it attains profitability and positive cash flows from operations. However, the Company may incur unknown expenses or may not be able to meet its revenue expectations requiring it to seek additional capital. In such event, the Company may not be able to find capital or raise capital or debt on terms that are acceptable.

The holders of Convertible Debentures control the conversion of the Convertible Debentures and certain of the Convertible Debentures were not converted at their maturity constituting a potential default on the matured, but unconverted, Convertible Debentures. In the event of such default, principal, accrued interest and other related costs are immediately due and payable in cash. As of March 31, 2015, Convertible Debentures with a face value of $2,292,760 held by 39 individual investors are in default. None of these investors have served notice of default on the Convertible Debentures held by them.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is generally recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, the terms of which are generally free on board shipping point. The Company uses customer purchase orders to determine the existence of an arrangement. The Company uses shipping documents and third-party proof of delivery to verify that title has transferred. The Company assesses whether the price is fixed or determinable based upon the terms of the agreement associated with the transaction. To determine whether collection is probable, the Company assesses a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer.

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SpectraScience, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries LUMA, International and Spectra UK. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition, government regulation and rapid technological change. The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks associated with a short history of product sales, including the potential risk of business failure.

Use of Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, realization of long-lived assets including intangible assets, assumptions used to value stock options, assumptions used to value the common stock issued and assumptions related to the determination of the fair value of the derivative components associated with the Company’s Convertible Debentures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory Valuation

The Company states its inventory at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a specific cost basis. The Company provides inventory allowances when conditions indicate that the selling price could be less than cost due to obsolescence and reductions in estimated future demand. The Company balances the need to maintain strategic inventory levels with the risk of obsolescence due to changing technology and customer demand levels. Unfavorable changes in market conditions may result in a need for additional inventory reserves that could adversely impact the Company’s gross margins. Conversely, favorable changes in demand could result in higher gross margins when the Company sells products.

Valuation of Long-lived Assets

The Company’s long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and intangible assets. Equipment is carried at cost and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally two to three years, and leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The straight-line method is used for depreciation and amortization. Intangible assets consist of patents, which are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the patents. The Company does not capitalize external legal costs and filing fees associated with obtaining patents on its new discoveries. Acquired intellectual property is recorded at cost and is amortized over its estimated useful life. The Company believes the useful lives assigned to these assets are reasonable. The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. These computations utilize judgments and assumptions inherent in management’s estimate of future cash flows to determine recoverability of these assets. If management’s assumptions about these assets were to change as a result of events or circumstances, the Company may be required to record an impairment loss.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements (continued)

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation   (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company adopted ASC 718 on January 1, 2006. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model (the “Black-Scholes Model”). The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises its estimate in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). Under ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to employees and non-employees as the consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Any stock options issued to non-employees are recorded in expense and additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity over the applicable service periods using variable accounting through the vesting dates based on the fair value of the options at the end of each reporting period.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan under which it makes grants, the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). The EIP provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”) and restricted stock awards to full-time employees (who may also be directors) and NQSOs and restricted stock awards to non-employee directors, consultants, customers, vendors or providers of services. The exercise price of any ISO may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and the term shall not exceed ten years. The amount reserved under the 2011 EIP is 40,000,000 shares of common stock.  At March 31, 2015, the Company had options outstanding exercisable into up to 40,193,802 shares of stock under the EIP and the Company’s prior Amended 2001 Stock Plan of which up to 17,573,266 shares were exercisable. Awards under the Company’s EIP generally vest over four years.

The fair value of options granted are estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Model which includes several variables including expected life, risk free interest rate, expected stock price volatility, stock option exercise patterns and expected dividend yield. The Company also must estimate forfeitures for employee stock options. Management used the following weighted average assumptions to value stock options granted during the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

For the periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the following common equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of loss per share since their effects are anti-dilutive.

In November 2014, the Company issued for cash of $100,000 an unsecured note payable and a five year warrant with an exercise price of $0.09 per share for the purchase of up to 50,000 shares of common stock. The terms of the note were a repayment of $115,000 if paid by February 18, 2015 and, if paid thereafter, the principal balance of the note was to be increased to $115,000 and interest will accrue at 20% from February 18, 2015 until paid. The note remained outstanding at March 31, 2015 and is accruing interest at 20%. The warrant was valued at $1,659 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model and was recorded as additional paid-in capital and expensed to non-cash interest in 2014.

Convertible Debentures

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has issued and outstanding Convertible Debentures (“Debentures”) with original terms of six months to one year, an interest rate ranging from 10-20% per year and an original issue discount ranging from 5% to 10% which, at the option of the holder, may convert into common stock at an initial conversion price ranging from $0.03 to$0.099 per share. The Debentures were issued with detachable five year cashless Holders Warrants that allow the holders to purchase one share of stock for each two shares available under the converted Debentures at an exercise price ranging from $0.06 to $0.1287 per share. In addition, the Company issued five year cashless Agent Warrants equal to 10% of the total number of shares issuable under the Debentures and Holders Warrants at an exercise price ranging from $0.0745 to $0.1287 per share. For debentures issued through March 31, 2013, at the option of the Debenture holder, the terms of the Debentures and Holders Warrants are subject to an exchange feature in the event that the Company issues securities with terms more favorable than those of the then outstanding Debentures and Holders Warrants. Debentures issued subsequent to March 31, 2013 do not contain such an exchange clause.

Derivative Liability

Since the Company issued Convertible Debentures which included Holders Warrants, Agent Warrants and a conversion option that includes a possible exchange feature in the event of a future financing on terms more favorable than those of the existing warrants and debentures, this results in the warrants and conversion feature of the debentures being recorded as a liability and measured at fair value. The Company measures these warrants and conversion feature using a combination of Black-Scholes option valuation models and Binomial Lattice option valuation models using similar assumptions to those

described under “Stock-Based Compensation.” The time period over which the Company will be required to evaluate the fair value of the warrants is approximately five years and the time period over which the Company will be required to evaluate the fair value of the conversion feature is six to twelve months or conversion.

The assumptions used in determining fair value represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change, including changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, managements’ assessment of the probability of a more favorably priced future financing or significant fluctuations in the volatility of the trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s fair value estimates could be materially different in the future.

13

SpectraScience, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements (continued)

The Company computes the fair value of the derivative liability at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The key component in the value of the derivative liability is the Company’s stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under its control. The resulting effect on net loss is therefore subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the Company’s Debentures, which the convertible feature is associated with, are converted into common stock or paid in full with cash. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when its stock price increases and non-cash income when its stock price decreases.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balances of the Derivative Liability are as follows:

				Conversion
	Warrants			Feature			Total
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	803,484		$	300,939		$	1,104,423

Balance at March 31, 2015	$	1,223,601		$	466,587		$	1,690,188

Debentures issued subsequent to March 31, 2013 did not contain an exchange provision and were accounted for using the equity method of valuing the note and warrant. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, $108,124 was recorded as additional paid-in capital.

4. Shareholders’ Deficit

Common Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, holders of Convertible Debentures with a face value of $99,198 converted their debentures into 2,154,189 shares of restricted common stock. In addition, associated with these debentures, the Company paid $15,406 in accrued interest by issuing 325,188 shares of restricted common stock and recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $33,493.

Warrants

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, in conjunction with the sale of Convertible Debentures, the Company issued five year common stock purchase warrants to acquire up to 5,475,312 shares to holders of the Debentures. These warrants have exercise prices ranging from $0.06 to $0.09 per share.

In January 2015, the Company issued a warrant exercisable into up to 300,000 shares of common stock in exchange for services provided by a consultant. The value of these warrants, $2,848, was determined using the Black-Sholes Option pricing model and was included as non-cash expenses and additional paid-in capital during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The balance of all warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2015 is as follows:

In February 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of stock options exercisable into up to 5,900,002 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share to a group of employees, directors and consultants. A portion of the options contained vesting criteria conditioned on certain milestones being achieved by the Company. If the milestones are not achieved, the options are subject to being cancelled.

At March 31, 2015, total unrecognized estimated employee compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that date is $499,078, which we expect to be recognized over the next four years.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities using a hierarchy system, and defines

required disclosures. It clarifies that 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 in the market in which the reporting entity transacts business.

The Company's balance sheet contains derivative and warrant liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value is as follows:

Level 1: uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: uses observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: uses unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The fair value of the Company’s recorded derivative and warrant liabilities is determined based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, which require a Level 3 classification. A Binomial Lattice option valuation model was used to determine the fair value with similar assumptions to those described under “Stock-Based Compensation”. The Company records derivative and warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operation.

The following table presents the balances of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level as of March 31, 2015:

	Fair Value Measurements Using
	Quoted Prices in		Significant Other		Significant
	Active Markets for		Observable		Unobservable
	Identical Assets		Inputs		Inputs
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Total

Warrant liability		-		-		1,223,601		1,223,601
Total	$	-	$	-	$	1,690,188	$	1,690,188

The following table presents changes in the liabilities with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended March 31, 2015:

(1) Included in the Condensed Statements of Operation on the line “Change in fair value of derivative and warrant liabilities.”

Management used the following inputs to value the Derivative and Warrant Liabilities for the nine months ended March 31, 2015:

	Derivative Liability			Warrant Liability
Expected term		1 year			5 years
Exercise price	$	0.045 - $0.099		$	0.075 - $0.1287
Expected volatility		287	%		219	%
Expected dividends		None			None
Risk-free interest rate		0.26	%		1.37	%
Forfeitures		None			None

In computing the fair value of the derivative and warrant liability at March 31, 2015 for instruments under the Binomial Lattice option-pricing model, management estimated a 40% probability of a down round financing event at a price of $0.025 and a 20% to 75% probability that existing note holders with exchange privileges would exchange their existing debentures and warrants for new debentures and warrants.

6. Contingencies

None

7. Subsequent Events

Convertible Debentures and Warrants

During April and May 2015, the Company sold a $15,000 Unsecured Convertible Debentures (the “Debenture”) to an accredited investor for cash. The Debenture matures in twelve months, carries a fixed conversion price of $0.03, an annual interest rate of 10% and is convertible into 500,000 shares of common stock at maturity. In addition, the Company issued the holder of the Debenture a detachable five-year warrant to purchase 250,000 additional shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share.

Note Payable

In April 2015, the Company entered into a $55,000, 10% original discount note that can be repaid for $61,111 if paid within 90 days at 0% interest. If paid subsequent to 90 days, the note is convertible into common stock at a discount to the market price. Management estimates that the note will be paid within the 90 day period.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date financial statements are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Business

SpectraScience, Inc. (the “Company,” “SpectraScience,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) develops and manufactures innovative Laser Induced Fluorescence spectrophotometry systems capable of determining whether tissue is normal, pre-cancerous or cancerous without removing tissue from the body. The WavSTAT Optical Biopsy System (the “WavSTAT System”) is SpectraScience's first product to incorporate its proprietary fluorescence technology for clinical use. The WavSTAT System carries the CE mark designation which allows for the sale and marketing in the European Union for the diagnosis of cancer. We are developing light-based diagnostics for additional indications including inflammatory bowel disease and esophageal cancer. Once these additional applications are developed we plan to self-certify for CE mark approval for sale in the European Union and then file an application with the FDA seeking permission to begin marketing for that indication for use in the United States. We believe we have a strong intellectual property portfolio that will allow us to continue to expand our WavSTAT cancer diagnosis platform to address the diagnosis of multiple cancers, utilize additional proprietary bio-photonic techniques to improve the WavSTAT’s overall diagnostic performance and ultimately allow for the detection of cancer and pre-cancer over a relatively large area of examined tissue.

Our principal executive offices are located at 11568 Sorrento Valley Rd., Suite 11, San Diego, CA 92121. We can be reached by telephone at (858) 847-0200; by fax at (858) 847-0880; or by email at info@spectrascience.com. We have a Web site at http://www.spectrascience.com. The information contained on our Web site shall not be deemed to be a part of this Report.

Plan of Operation

During the three month period ended March 31, 2015, SpectraScience carried forward on the improvements made to the WavSTAT4 in fiscal 2011 and continued working with PENTAX Europe, GmbH (“PENTAX”), for distribution of its products in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

18

Over the next 12 months, SpectraScience intends to:

Market and sell the WavSTAT4 Optical Biopsy System colon cancer diagnostic application through

PENTAX and other distribution channels in the European Union;

Conduct country-specific evaluation trials to demonstrate the effectiveness and cost benefit of the

WavSTAT4 Optical Biopsy System in each relevant European jurisdiction;

Coordinate the creation and publication of scientific papers and presentations related to the

country-specific evaluation trials to support widespread education and adoption of the WavSTAT4 ;

Pursue the introduction of the WavSTAT4 colon cancer application in other international markets,

in particular China, Saudi Arabia and India;

Begin meeting with the FDA towards the preparation and submission of a Supplemental PMA filing

with the FDA and plan for additional clinical trials to support eventual approval for sale in the

United States;

Begin the design and planning for the next generation of multi-modal fluorescence and broadband

spectroscopy systems at our facility in San Diego, California.

Continue to expand and refine our intellectual property portfolio.

Revenues

There was no revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or March 31, 2014. We anticipate that revenue will resume as a result of our distribution agreement with PENTAX and continuing direct sales efforts in certain locations once sufficient information has been accumulated from our MORDIS trials in Europe.

19

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 were a negative $6,000 in each period. The reason for the decrease in cost of revenue in each of the two periods was a result of two systems installed in 2013 and two systems installed in 2012 came off of warranty with no associated costs.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by $83,510, 32.3%, to $174,680 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 from $258,190 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. This decrease was due to a decrease in payroll over the previous year’s quarter of approximately $29,000 coupled with a decrease in non-cash stock option expense of approximately $50,000. We anticipate that clinical costs will increase as we proceed with our introduction of the WaveSTAT4 in Europe.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by $138,377, 26.6%, to $381,454 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 from $519,831 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The primary reasons for the decrease was a decrease during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the previous year in non-cash stock option expense of $154,000 offset in part by an increase in payroll and consulting costs of approximately $13,000. We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will increase as we increase our activity in Europe.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $49,698, 55.5%, to $39,862 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 from $89,560 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The primary reason for the decrease was a decrease in payroll costs of approximately $42,000 as a result of the value of the Euro vs. the Dollar and a decrease in stock option expense of approximately $5,000. We anticipate that sales and marketing expenses will increase as we increase our activity in Europe.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was expense of $1,119,694 compared to expense of $2,388,586 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. This change was due primarily to a gain on the extinguishment of convertible debentures for approximately $83,000 coupled with the change in valuation of our derivative liabilities. We anticipate continued large fluctuations in other income (expense) as a result of quarterly re-evaluating these obligations.

Historically, the Company’s sources of cash have come from the issuance and sales of equity securities and convertible debentures. The Company’s historical cash outflows have been primarily used for operating activities including research, development, administrative and sales activities. Fluctuations in the Company’s working capital due to timing differences of its cash receipts and cash disbursements also impact its cash flow. The Company expects to incur significant additional operating losses through at least the end of 2015, as it completes proof-of-concept trials, conducts outcome-based clinical studies and increases sales and marketing efforts to commercialize the WavSTAT4 Systems in Europe. If the Company does not receive sufficient funding, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company may incur unknown expenses or may not be able to meet its revenue forecast, and one or more of these circumstances would require the Company to seek additional capital. The Company may not be able to obtain equity capital or debt funding on terms that are acceptable. Even if the Company receives additional funding, such proceeds may not be sufficient to allow the Company to sustain operations until it becomes profitable and begins to generate positive cash flows from operations.

21

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $7,151,369 and cash of $69,955, compared to a working capital deficit of $5,732,125 and cash of $223,529 as of December 31, 2014. In December 2011, the Company entered into an Engagement Agreement with Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., which Engagement Agreement was amended in July 2012. Under the Engagement Agreement, Laidlaw agreed to assist the Company in raising up to $20.0 million in capital over a two year period from the date of the Engagement Agreement. Subsequent to March 31, 2013, the Company has engaged other agents to assist the Company with raising capital and has commenced raising capital on its own. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, The Company raised $386,000, net of transaction costs of $24,000, under these agreements. However, if the Company does not receive additional funds in a timely manner, the Company could be in jeopardy as a going concern. The Company may not be able to find alternative capital or raise capital or debt on terms that are acceptable. Management believes that if the events defined in the Engagement Agreements occur as expected, or if the Company is otherwise able to raise a similar level of funds, such proceeds will be sufficient to allow the Company to sustain operations until it attains profitability and positive cash flows from operations. However, the Company may incur unknown expenses or may not be able to meet its revenue expectations requiring it to seek additional capital. In such event, the Company may not be able to find capital or raise capital or debt on terms that are acceptable.

With respect to the above equity securities issuances, the Company relied on exemptions provided by Sections 4(a)(2) and 3(a)9 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The securities were issued to a limited number of persons all of whom were accredited investors as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. All were capable of analyzing the merits and risks of their investment, acknowledged in writing that they were acquiring the securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale, and understood the speculative nature of their investment. All securities issued contained a restrictive legend prohibiting transfer of the shares except in accordance with federal securities laws.

3. Liabilities

Note Payable

In November 2014, the Company issued for cash of $100,000 an unsecured note payable and a five year warrant with an exercise price of $0.09 per share for the purchase of up to 50,000 shares of common stock. The terms of the note were a repayment of $115,000 if paid by February 18, 2015 and, if paid thereafter, the principal balance of the note was to be increased to $115,000 and interest will accrue at 20% from February 18, 2015 until paid. The note remained outstanding at March 31, 2015 and is accruing interest at 20%. The warrant was valued at $1,659 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model and was recorded as additional paid-in capital and expensed to non-cash interest in 2014.

Convertible Debentures

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has issued and outstanding Convertible Debentures (“Debentures”) with original terms of six months to one year, an interest rate ranging from 10-20% per year and an original issue discount ranging from 5% to 10% which, at the option of the holder, may convert into common stock at an initial conversion price ranging from $0.03 to$0.099 per share. The Debentures were issued with detachable five year cashless Holders Warrants that allow the holders to purchase one share of stock for each two shares available under the converted Debentures at an exercise price ranging from $0.06 to $0.1287 per share. In addition, the Company issued five year cashless Agent Warrants equal to 10% of the total number of shares issuable under the Debentures and Holders Warrants at an exercise price ranging from $0.0745 to $0.1287 per share. For debentures issued through March 31, 2013, at the option of the Debenture holder, the terms of the Debentures and Holders Warrants are subject to an exchange feature in the event that the Company issues securities with terms more favorable than those of the then outstanding Debentures and Holders Warrants. Debentures issued subsequent to March 31, 2013 do not contain such an exchange clause.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balances of the Debentures are as follows:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2015			2014
Balance at beginning of period	$	4,496,602		$	2,951,629

Convertible debt in default	$	2,292,760		$	1,862,160

Derivative Liability

Since the Company issued Convertible Debentures which included Holders Warrants, Agent Warrants and a conversion option that includes a possible exchange feature in the event of a future financing on terms more favorable than those of the existing warrants and debentures, this results in the warrants and conversion feature of the debentures being recorded as a liability and measured at fair value. The Company measures these warrants and conversion feature using a combination of Black-Scholes option valuation models and Binomial Lattice option valuation models using similar assumptions to those described under “Stock-Based Compensation.” The time period over which the Company will be required to evaluate the fair value of the warrants is approximately five years and the time period over which the Company will be required to evaluate the fair value of the conversion feature is six to twelve months or conversion.

The assumptions used in determining fair value represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change, including changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, managements’ assessment of the probability of a more favorably priced future financing or significant fluctuations in the volatility of the trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s fair value estimates could be materially different in the future.

The Company computes the fair value of the derivative liability at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The key component in the value of the derivative liability is the Company’s stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under its control. The resulting effect on net loss is therefore subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the Company’s Debentures, which the convertible feature is associated with, are converted into common stock or paid in full with cash. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when its stock price increases and non-cash income when its stock price decreases.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balances of the Derivative Liability are as follows:

				Conversion
	Warrants			Feature			Total
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	803,484		$	300,939		$	1,104,423
Elimination on extinguishment of debt		-			(197,482	)		(197,482	)
Change in fair value at year end		(38,526	)		193,424			154,898
Balance at December 31, 2014		764,958			296,881			1,061,839
Elimination on extinguishment of debt		-			(49,235	)		(49,235	)
Change in fair value at period end		458,643			218,941			677,584
Balance at March 31, 2015	$	1,223,601		$	466,587		$	1,690,188

Debentures issued subsequent to March 31, 2013 did not contain an exchange provision and were accounted for using the equity method of valuing the note and warrant. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, $108,124 was recorded as additional paid-in capital.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is generally recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, the terms of which are generally free on board shipping point. The Company uses customer purchase orders to determine the existence of an arrangement. The Company uses shipping documents and third-party proof of delivery to verify that title has transferred. The Company assesses whether the price is fixed or determinable based upon the terms of the agreement associated with the transaction. To determine whether collection is probable, the Company assesses a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer.

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SpectraScience, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries LUMA, International and Spectra UK. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition, government regulation and rapid technological change. The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks associated with a short history of product sales, including the potential risk of business failure.

Use of Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, realization of long-lived assets including intangible assets, assumptions used to value stock options, assumptions used to value the common stock issued and assumptions related to the determination of the fair value of the derivative components associated with the Company’s Convertible Debentures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory Valuation

The Company states its inventory at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a specific cost basis. The Company provides inventory allowances when conditions indicate that the selling price could be less than cost due to obsolescence and reductions in estimated future demand. The Company balances the need to maintain strategic inventory levels with the risk of obsolescence due to changing technology and customer demand levels. Unfavorable changes in market conditions may result in a need for additional inventory reserves that could adversely impact the Company’s gross margins. Conversely, favorable changes in demand could result in higher gross margins when the Company sells products.

Valuation of Long-lived Assets

The Company’s long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and intangible assets. Equipment is carried at cost and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally two to three years, and leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The straight-line method is used for depreciation and amortization. Intangible assets consist of patents, which are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the patents. The Company does not capitalize external legal costs and filing fees associated with obtaining patents on its new discoveries. Acquired intellectual property is recorded at cost and is amortized over its estimated useful life. The Company believes the useful lives assigned to these assets are reasonable. The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. These computations utilize judgments and assumptions inherent in management’s estimate of future cash flows to determine recoverability of these assets. If management’s assumptions about these assets were to change as a result of events or circumstances, the Company may be required to record an impairment loss.  

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation   (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company adopted ASC 718 on January 1, 2006. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model (the “Black-Scholes Model”). The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises its estimate in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). Under ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to employees and non-employees as the consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Any stock options issued to non-employees are recorded in expense and additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity over the applicable service periods using variable accounting through the vesting dates based on the fair value of the options at the end of each reporting period.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan under which it makes grants, the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). The EIP provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”) and restricted stock awards to full-time employees (who may also be directors) and NQSOs and restricted stock awards to non-employee directors, consultants, customers, vendors or providers of services. The exercise price of any ISO may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and the term shall not exceed ten years. The amount reserved under the 2011 EIP is 40,000,000 shares of common stock.  At March 31, 2015, the Company had options outstanding exercisable into up to 40,193,802 shares of stock under the EIP and the Company’s prior Amended 2001 Stock Plan of which up to 17,573,266 shares were exercisable. Awards under the Company’s EIP generally vest over four years.

The fair value of options granted are estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Model which includes several variables including expected life, risk free interest rate, expected stock price volatility, stock option exercise patterns and expected dividend yield. The Company also must estimate forfeitures for employee stock options. Management used the following weighted average assumptions to value stock options granted during the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Expected term		5 years			5 years
Exercise price	$	0.01		$	0.02
Expected volatility		210	%		187	%
Expected dividends		None			None
Risk-free interest rate		1.48	%		1.64	%
Forfeitures		None			None

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

For the periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the following common equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of loss per share since their effects are anti-dilutive.

	March 31,		March 31,
	2015		2014
Preferred Stock		3,085,000		3,085,000
Convertible debentures		101,060,673		67,809,459

Warrants		109,205,387		93,988,650
Total		253,544,862		200,351,909

Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

1.     Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

SpectraScience, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Minnesota on May 4, 1983 as GV Medical, Inc. In October 1992, GV Medical discontinued its prior business, refocused its development efforts and changed its name to SpectraScience, Inc. The “Company,” hereinafter, refers to SpectraScience, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Luma Imaging Corporation (“LUMA”), Spectra Science International, Inc. (“International”) and SpectraScience (UK) Limited (“SpectraUK”). Since 1996, the Company has focused primarily on developing the WavSTAT Optical Biopsy System (the “WavSTAT System”). 

The Company has developed and received the European CE mark approval to market a proprietary, minimally invasive technology that optically illuminates tissue in real-time to distinguish between normal, pre-cancerous or cancerous cells without the need to remove the subject cell tissue from the body to make such determinations. The WavSTAT System operates by using cool, safe laser light to optically illuminate and analyze tissue, enabling the physician to make an instant diagnosis during endoscopy when screening for cancer, and if warranted, to begin immediate treatment during the same procedure. Beginning in December 2011, the WavSTAT 4 version of the product began to be sold in the European Union for colon cancer detection. In June 2012, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with PENTAX Europe, GmbH, for the sale of its systems internationally.

On November 6, 2007, the Company acquired the assets of LUMA in an equity transaction accounted for as an acquisition of assets and now operates LUMA as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. LUMA had acquired the assets from a predecessor company that had developed, and received FDA approval for, a non-invasive diagnostic imaging system that can detect cervical cancer precursors and which utilizes an underlying technology that is similar to that of the WavSTAT System. The addition of the LUMA technology to the Company’s existing WavSTAT System technology provides the Company with a broad suite of fluorescence-based intellectual property and know-how. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company wrote off the remaining fair value of the LUMA inventory in order to focus on the continued development and marketing of the WavSTAT System. The Company retained the intellectual property of LUMA for use in the development of future generations of the WavSTAT System.

The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of assets that included intellectual property, inventory and equipment. The intellectual property consisted of a total of 34 issued U.S. patents and 28 additional patent applications.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q as they are prescribed for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Going Concern

Historically, the Company’s sources of cash have come from the issuance and sales of equity securities and convertible debentures. The Company’s historical cash outflows have been primarily used for operating activities including research, development, administrative and sales activities. Fluctuations in the Company’s working capital due to timing differences of its cash receipts and cash disbursements also impact its cash flow. The Company expects to incur significant additional operating losses through at least the end of 2015, as it completes proof-of-concept trials, conducts outcome-based clinical studies and increases sales and marketing efforts to commercialize the WavSTAT4 Systems in Europe. If the Company does not receive sufficient funding, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company may incur unknown expenses or may not be able to meet its revenue forecast, and one or more of these circumstances would require the Company to seek additional capital. The Company may not be able to obtain equity capital or debt funding on terms that are acceptable. Even if the Company receives additional funding, such proceeds may not be sufficient to allow the Company to sustain operations until it becomes profitable and begins to generate positive cash flows from operations.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $7,151,369 and cash of $69,955, compared to a working capital deficit of $5,732,125 and cash of $223,529 as of December 31, 2014. In December 2011, the Company entered into an Engagement Agreement with Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., which Engagement Agreement was amended in July 2012. Under the Engagement Agreement, Laidlaw agreed to assist the Company in raising up to $20.0 million in capital over a two year period from the date of the Engagement Agreement. Subsequent to March 31, 2013, the Company has engaged other agents to assist the Company with raising capital and has commenced raising capital on its own. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company raised $386,000, net of transaction costs of $24,000, under these agreements. However, if the Company does not receive additional funds in a timely manner, the Company could be in jeopardy as a going concern. The Company may not be able to find alternative capital or raise capital or debt on terms that are acceptable. Management believes that if the events defined in the Engagement Agreements occur as expected, or if the Company is otherwise able to raise a similar level of funds, such proceeds will be sufficient to allow the Company to sustain operations until it attains profitability and positive cash flows from operations. However, the Company may incur unknown expenses or may not be able to meet its revenue expectations requiring it to seek additional capital. In such event, the Company may not be able to find capital or raise capital or debt on terms that are acceptable.

The holders of Convertible Debentures control the conversion of the Convertible Debentures and certain of the Convertible Debentures were not converted at their maturity constituting a potential default on the matured, but unconverted, Convertible Debentures. In the event of such default, principal, accrued interest and other related costs are immediately due and payable in cash. As of March 31, 2015, Convertible Debentures with a face value of $2,292,760 held by 39 individual investors are in default. None of these investors have served notice of default on the Convertible Debentures held by them.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

5. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities using a hierarchy system, and defines required disclosures. It clarifies that 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 in the market in which the reporting entity transacts business.

The Company's balance sheet contains derivative and warrant liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value is as follows:

Level 1: uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: uses observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: uses unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The fair value of the Company’s recorded derivative and warrant liabilities is determined based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, which require a Level 3 classification. A Binomial Lattice option valuation model was used to determine the fair value with similar assumptions to those described under “Stock-Based Compensation”. The Company records derivative and warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operation.

The following table presents the balances of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level as of March 31, 2015:

	Fair Value Measurements Using
	Quoted Prices in		Significant Other		Significant
	Active Markets for		Observable		Unobservable
	Identical Assets		Inputs		Inputs

The following table presents changes in the liabilities with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended March 31, 2015:

	Warrant		Derivative			Total
	Liability		Liability			Liability

(1) Included in the Condensed Statements of Operation on the line “Change in fair value of derivative and warrant liabilities.”

Management used the following inputs to value the Derivative and Warrant Liabilities for the nine months ended March 31, 2015:

	Derivative Liability			Warrant Liability
Expected term		1 year			5 years
Exercise price	$	0.045 - $0.099		$	0.075 - $0.1287
Expected volatility		287	%		219	%
Expected dividends		None			None
Risk-free interest rate		0.26	%		1.37	%
Forfeitures		None			None

In computing the fair value of the derivative and warrant liability at March 31, 2015 for instruments under the Binomial Lattice option-pricing model, management estimated a 40% probability of a down round financing event at a price of $0.025 and a 20% to 75% probability that existing note holders with exchange privileges would exchange their existing debentures and warrants for new debentures and warrants.

Convertible Debentures and Warrants

During April and May 2015, the Company sold a $15,000 Unsecured Convertible Debentures (the “Debenture”) to an accredited investor for cash. The Debenture matures in twelve months, carries a fixed conversion price of $0.03, an annual interest rate of 10% and is convertible into 500,000 shares of common stock at maturity. In addition, the Company issued the holder of the Debenture a detachable five-year warrant to purchase 250,000 additional shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share.

Note Payable

In April 2015, the Company entered into a $55,000, 10% original discount note that can be repaid for $61,111 if paid within 90 days at 0% interest. If paid subsequent to 90 days, the note is convertible into common stock at a discount to the market price. Management estimates that the note will be paid within the 90 day period.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date financial statements are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is generally recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, the terms of which are generally free on board shipping point. The Company uses customer purchase orders to determine the existence of an arrangement. The Company uses shipping documents and third-party proof of delivery to verify that title has transferred. The Company assesses whether the price is fixed or determinable based upon the terms of the agreement associated with the transaction. To determine whether collection is probable, the Company assesses a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer.

Consolidation

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SpectraScience, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries LUMA, International and Spectra UK. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition, government regulation and rapid technological change. The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks associated with a short history of product sales, including the potential risk of business failure.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, realization of long-lived assets including intangible assets, assumptions used to value stock options, assumptions used to value the common stock issued and assumptions related to the determination of the fair value of the derivative components associated with the Company’s Convertible Debentures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory Valuation

The Company states its inventory at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a specific cost basis. The Company provides inventory allowances when conditions indicate that the selling price could be less than cost due to obsolescence and reductions in estimated future demand. The Company balances the need to maintain strategic inventory levels with the risk of obsolescence due to changing technology and customer demand levels. Unfavorable changes in market conditions may result in a need for additional inventory reserves that could adversely impact the Company’s gross margins. Conversely, favorable changes in demand could result in higher gross margins when the Company sells products.

Valuation of Long-lived Assets

Valuation of Long-lived Assets

The Company’s long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and intangible assets. Equipment is carried at cost and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally two to three years, and leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The straight-line method is used for depreciation and amortization. Intangible assets consist of patents, which are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the patents. The Company does not capitalize external legal costs and filing fees associated with obtaining patents on its new discoveries. Acquired intellectual property is recorded at cost and is amortized over its estimated useful life. The Company believes the useful lives assigned to these assets are reasonable. The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. These computations utilize judgments and assumptions inherent in management’s estimate of future cash flows to determine recoverability of these assets. If management’s assumptions about these assets were to change as a result of events or circumstances, the Company may be required to record an impairment loss.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation   (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company adopted ASC 718 on January 1, 2006. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model (the “Black-Scholes Model”). The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises its estimate in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). Under ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to employees and non-employees as the consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Any stock options issued to non-employees are recorded in expense and additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity over the applicable service periods using variable accounting through the vesting dates based on the fair value of the options at the end of each reporting period.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan under which it makes grants, the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). The EIP provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”) and restricted stock awards to full-time employees (who may also be directors) and NQSOs and restricted stock awards to non-employee directors, consultants, customers, vendors or providers of services. The exercise price of any ISO may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and the term shall not exceed ten years. The amount reserved under the 2011 EIP is 40,000,000 shares of common stock.  At March 31, 2015, the Company had options outstanding exercisable into up to 40,193,802 shares of stock under the EIP and the Company’s prior Amended 2001 Stock Plan of which up to 17,573,266 shares were exercisable. Awards under the Company’s EIP generally vest over four years.

The fair value of options granted are estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Model which includes several variables including expected life, risk free interest rate, expected stock price volatility, stock option exercise patterns and expected dividend yield. The Company also must estimate forfeitures for employee stock options. Management used the following weighted average assumptions to value stock options granted during the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Expected term		5 years			5 years
Exercise price	$	0.01		$	0.02
Expected volatility		210	%		187	%
Expected dividends		None			None
Risk-free interest rate		1.48	%		1.64	%
Forfeitures		None			None

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

For the periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the following common equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of loss per share since their effects are anti-dilutive.

Shareholders' Deficit

4. Shareholders’ Deficit

Common Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, holders of Convertible Debentures with a face value of $99,198 converted their debentures into 2,154,189 shares of restricted common stock. In addition, associated with these debentures, the Company paid $15,406 in accrued interest by issuing 325,188 shares of restricted common stock and recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $33,493.

Warrants

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, in conjunction with the sale of Convertible Debentures, the Company issued five year common stock purchase warrants to acquire up to 5,475,312 shares to holders of the Debentures. These warrants have exercise prices ranging from $0.06 to $0.09 per share.

In January 2015, the Company issued a warrant exercisable into up to 300,000 shares of common stock in exchange for services provided by a consultant. The value of these warrants, $2,848, was determined using the Black-Sholes Option pricing model and was included as non-cash expenses and additional paid-in capital during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The balance of all warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2015 is as follows:

(1) These amounts represent the excess, if any, between the exercise price and $0.01, the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2015 as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “SCIE”.

In February 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of stock options exercisable into up to 5,900,002 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share to a group of employees, directors and consultants. A portion of the options contained vesting criteria conditioned on certain milestones being achieved by the Company. If the milestones are not achieved, the options are subject to being cancelled.

At March 31, 2015, total unrecognized estimated employee compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that date is $499,078, which we expect to be recognized over the next four years.
