Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Nature of Operations - Alpha Innotech Corporation was incorporated and began operations in June 1992, in the state of California, with facilities in San Leandro, California. Xtrana, Inc. was incorporated in January 1987 in the state of Delaware. On October 3, 2005, Alpha Innotech Corporation was acquired by Xtrana, Inc. In the transactions, Alpha Innotech Corporation merged with a subsidiary of Xtrana, Inc. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xtrana, Inc. Xtrana, Inc. changed its corporate name to Alpha Innotech Corp. and obtained a new trading symbol APNO.OB.
 
Alpha Innotech Corp. and subsidiary (the “Company”) develop and market both macro imaging and micro imaging systems. The macro imaging systems are used for image documentation, quantitative analysis, and image archiving. These systems are used with electrophoresis samples (gel, blots, autoradiographs, etc), microscopy applications, and general imaging from insects to culture plates. The micro imaging systems address the micro array, multiplex array and cell based markets. Researchers use the microimaging products to analyze slides or multi-well microplates printed with genomic, proteomic or cellular samples and in some cases, fixed cell cultures.

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and new Article 8 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. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of “Alpha Innotech Corp and subsidiary” (“Alpha Innotech Corp and subsidiary” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
 
Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2008.

Managements Plan - In the past, the Company has incurred substantial losses. For the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company incurred a loss from operations in the amount of $15,488 and a net loss in the amount of $2,057, and has a working capital deficiency and a shareholders’ deficit as of March 31, 2008. However, the Company has generated positive cash flows from operations for seven consecutive quarters since the three months ended September 30, 2006, and specifically generated positive cash flows from operations of $254,330 and $87,209 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively. Furthermore, since March 31, 2008 the Company has received cash through new loans from Agility Capital, LLC and Montage Capital, LLC in the amount of $1,500,000. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had paid down all but $50,000 of the $1,500,000 loan it received from Alexandria Finance LLC in 2005. The primary purpose of these new loans is to fund inventory and accounts receivable requirements driven by the Company's overall growth and expansion of sales channels in Asia, as well as to pay off certain corporate debts. As a result, management believes the Company has sufficient cash to fund operations in the near term.
 
Failure to generate sufficient revenues, raise additional capital or reduce certain discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives.
 
Going Concern - - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses. These conditions raise substantial doubts about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to manage expenses and operate using new borrowings from Agility Capital, LLC and Montage Capital, LLC and the existing line of credit. The condensed 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 classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 
 
Loss Per Share - Basic net loss per share to common shareholders is calculated based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period excluding those shares that are subject to repurchase by the Company. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders would give effect to the dilutive effect of potential common stock consisting of stock options, warrants, and preferred stock. Dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted net loss per share computations as they have an antidilutive effect due to the Company’s net loss.

The following outstanding stock options, warrants, common stock subject to repurchase by the Company, and preferred stock (on an as-converted into common stock basis) were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to holders of common stock as they had an antidilutive effects of March 31, 2008 and 2007:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions,” and FSP FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.” FSP FAS 157-1 removes leasing from the scope of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 from 2008 to 2009 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, at least annually.

In September 2006, the FASB finalized SFAS No. 157 which became effective January 1, 2008 except as amended by FSP FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 as described above. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements; however, it does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 were applied prospectively to fair value measurements and disclosures for financial assets and financial liabilities and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements for fair value measurements made during the first quarter of 2008. While the Company does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements in subsequent reporting periods, the company continues to monitor any additional implementation guidance that is issued that addresses the fair value measurements for certain financial assets and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities not disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on at least an annual basis.

2.     Fair Value

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 as amended by FSP FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 on January 1, 2008. Pursuant to the provisions of FSP FAS 157-2, the Company will not apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 until January 1, 2009 for the following major categories of nonfinancial assets and liabilities from the consolidated balance sheet: property and equipment. The Company recorded no change to its opening balance of accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2008 as it did not have any financial instruments requiring retrospective application per the provisions of SFAS No. 157.

Fair Value Hierarchy - SFAS No. 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect the company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). In accordance with SFAS No. 157, these two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 - Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

SFAS No. 157 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

Measurement of Fair Value - The Company measures fair value as an exit price using the procedures described below for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value. When available, the company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value and classifies such items within Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Items valued using internally generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be inputs that are readily observable. If quoted market prices are not available, the valuation model used generally depends on the specific asset or liability being valued.

Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2008:

Effective October 26, 2007, BFI and the Company entered into a First Modification to Loan and Security Agreement ("Modification") raising the maximum amount of the line of credit to $1.5 million. The interest rate of the line of credit is variable, and bears interest at a rate of 3% over prime. The interest rate as of March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 was 8.36 % and 11.39%, respectively.

As of March 31, 2008, $737,746 of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over the respective vesting terms of each award through February 2012. The weighted average term of the unrecognized stock-based compensation is 2.75 years. As of March 31, 2008, $344,491 of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares is expected to be recognized over the remaining life of the grant through February 14, 2010.
 
In the three months ended March 31, 2008, no share-based compensation expense was capitalized and there were no recognized tax benefits associated with the share-based compensation charge. The share-based compensation charge did not significantly impact basic and diluted net loss per share in the three months ended March 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, no significant compensation costs related to the share-based awards to employees was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Total fair value of non-vested shares is $836,756 for the three month ended March 31, 2008.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, expected option term, expected volatility of the stock over the option’s expected term, risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the expected annual dividend yield. The Company believes that the valuation technique and approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculation the fair values of the stock options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

For these options, the Company calculated the fair value of each option on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model as prescribed in SFAS No. 123 using the following assumptions:

    Expected volatility

The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the expected life. The expected life was determined based on the options vesting period and exercise behavior of the employees. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The Company has not historically issued dividends and does not expect to in the future.

The aggregate intrinsic value is the total pretax intrinsic value (i.e, the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of its first quarter of 2008 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The Company’s closing stock price on March 31, 2008 was $0.80.

On May 9, 2008, Alpha Innotech Corp. (the "Company") entered into the Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Montage Capital, LLC (“Montage”) and Agility Capital, LLC (“Agility”, and together with Montage, the “Lenders”).  In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company also issued the Lenders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 281,250 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Lenders Warrants”).  The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Lenders Warrants will be increased by a number that is equal to 7.5% of the balance outstanding on December 31, 2008 divided by the exercise price of the Lenders Warrants, and again by 7.5% of the outstanding balance on April 30, 2009 divided by the exercise price of the Lenders Warrants. The Company will use the proceeds from the loan for general corporate purposes, including working capital for inventory and accounts receivable, and to retire certain of its other outstanding debt obligations.
 
Under the Loan Agreement, the Company requested one advance of $1,500,000 from the Lenders which will bear interest at a rate of 13% per year and is due on October 31, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”).  If any amount is outstanding under the Loan Agreement on December 31, 2008, the Company will pay the Lenders a fee of $7,500. If any amount is outstanding on May 7, 2009, the Company will pay an additional fee of $7,500. The Company may prepay the loan under the Loan Agreement in whole or in part at any time without penalty.  During the occurrence of an "Event of Default" under the Loan Agreement, the interest will increase to at a rate of 18% per year, the Company will have to pay an additional fee of $2,500 for every 15 days after the occurrence of the Event of Default, and the Lenders will be entitled to additional warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, as specified in the Lenders Warrants.  The Lenders Warrants are immediately exercisable until October 31, 2014 at the exercise price of $0.80 per share, as might be adjusted per the terms of the Lenders Warrants.
 
This loan is secured by all of the assets of the Company and is subordinate in right of payment to the Company's existing “Senior Debt" under the Loan and Security Agreement with BFI dated March 9, 2004, as amended.  As a condition to funding under the Loan Agreement, the outstanding balance under the Secured Promissory Note dated April 8, 2005 in favor of Alexandria  Finance,  LLC was repaid in full.  In addition, the balance under the outstanding note issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and ETP/FBR Venture Capital II, LLC dated July 21, 2008 was partially prepaid in consideration for subordinating the remaining indebtedness by ETP/FBR Venture Capital II, LLC to the Lenders.   The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, as well as various negative covenants.
 
BroadOak Partners, LLC (“BroadOak”) acted as a placement agent in connection with the Loan Agreement.  Per the terms of BroadOak engagement, the Company will issue to BroadOak a warrant to purchase 56,250 shares of the Company’s common stock on the terms similar to the terms of the Lenders Warrants (the “BroadOak Warrant”, and together with the Lenders Warrants, the “Warrants”) and pay $30,000 in cash.  William Snider, a director of the Company, is a managing partner of BroadOak.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The information contained in this Form 10-Q is intended to update the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 and presumes that readers have access to, and will have read, the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other information contained in such Form 10-KSB. The following discussion and analysis also should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
 
Except for the historical information contained herein, this report contains forward-looking statements (identified by the words “estimate,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” and similar expressions), which are based upon management’s current expectations and speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in the forward-looking statements and include the factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In addition, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. These estimates and assumptions may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In addition, we are periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and may not be known for extended periods of time.
 
    Our critical accounting policies are set forth below.
 
    Revenue Recognition - Our revenue is derived from the sale of digital imaging systems and other products, net of returns and allowances, and is recognized when a contract is executed, all delivery obligations have been met, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection is probable. All products are sold with a one year standard warranty agreement and we record an associated reserve for estimated warranty costs.
 
For products sold where software is deemed to be more than incidental, we follow Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended. Revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements is allocated to each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence, which is based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. When a digital imaging system is sold, the multiple elements are software and maintenance and support. Revenue allocated to software is recognized when a contract is executed, all delivery obligations have been met, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection is probable. Revenue allocated to maintenance and support is recognized ratably over the maintenance term, typically for a period of one year, beginning when a digital imaging system is considered sold or an extended maintenance and support contract is signed.
 
Revenue is recorded net of estimated returns. Our management makes estimates of potential future product returns related to current period revenue. We analyze historical returns, current economic trends and changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for sales returns and other allowances, such as allowance for bad debts, in any accounting period. As of March 31, 2008, our allowance for sales returns was $95,030 and our allowance for doubtful accounts was $5,000.
 
    Inventory - We record inventories at the lower of cost or market value, with cost generally determined on a first-in, first-out basis. We perform periodic valuation assessments based on projected sales forecasts and analyzing upcoming changes in future configurations of our products and record inventory write-downs for excess and obsolete inventory. As of March 31, 2008, our allowance for excess and obsolete inventory was $44,365.
 
Deferred Taxes Valuation Allowance - We believe sufficient uncertainties exist regarding the future realization of deferred tax assets, and, accordingly, a full valuation allowance is required. In subsequent periods if and when we generate pre-tax income, a tax expense will not be recorded to the extent that the remaining valuation allowance can be used to offset that expense. Once a consistent pattern of pre-tax income is established or other events occur that indicate that the deferred tax assets will be realized, additional portions or all of the remaining valuation allowance will be reversed back to income. Should we generate pre-tax losses in subsequent periods, a tax benefit will not be recorded and the valuation allowance will be increased. Despite the valuation allowance, we retain the ability to utilize the benefits of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
 
    Revenues - Our revenues are primarily derived from sale of instruments, software, consumables, and service contracts. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $121,207, or 3.4%, from $3,546,936 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, to $3,668,143 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This growth in sales is attributable primarily to increased shipments to Asia.  The sales to GE Healthcare accounted for 17.8% as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 24.1% as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
 
Revenues outside of the United States represented 50.3% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 46.2% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
 
    Cost of Goods Sold - Cost of goods sold includes direct material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $18,524 or 1.2%, to $1,556,793 from $1,575,317 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due primarily to a reduction in warranty reserve offset by a small increase in manufacturing overhead expenses related to payroll and travel expense.
 
    Gross Profit - - Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $139,731 or 7.1% to $2,111,350 from $1,971,619 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 55.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 57.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 due primarily an reduction in warranty reserve which impacted our cost of goods sold and also a reduction in our sales return allowance based on lower experience levels.
 
    Sales and Marketing Expenses - Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $130,152 or 12.3%, to $1,184,721 from $1,054,569 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 29.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 32.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Expenses increased primarily due to increased headcount and facilities allocation to an expanded technical support department and travel expenses and support costs in international sales. Expenses related to domestic sales actually decreased; increases in salary, stock based compensation and travel expenses for our direct sales force were more than offset by decreased manufacturers’ representative commissions. Non-recurring search and recruiting expenses and relocation costs incurred in 2007 also contributed to the decrease in domestic sales expenses in 2008.
 
    Research and Development Expenses - Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $71,781 or 23.7%, to $375,275 from $303,494 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 8.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 10.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in research and development spending resulted primarily from increased purchase of parts, engineering costs and software development costs related to new products, including the red™ personal imaging system and AlphaView™ Pro software. An increase in payroll from merit increases and increased stock based compensation was partially offset by a decrease in management bonuses.
 
    General and Administrative Expenses - General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $34,844 or 6.5%, to $566,842 from $531,998 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase resulted primarily from increased consulting, legal and audit expenses related to Sarbanes Oxley Act compliance and other corporate matters. Travel expense also increased. Increased payroll related to merit increases and increased stock based compensation were more than offset by a decrease in severance paid to Company founders and decreased management bonuses. The general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 15.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 15.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
 
    Other Income (Expense) - Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $83,290 as compared to $82,452 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. There was a decline in the outstanding balance owed on a term note which resulted is lower interest expense.  This was offset by higher renewals fees related to the BFI line of credit due to an increased line of credit of $1.5 million established in October, 2007 versus $1.0 million line of credit available prior to October, 2007. There was also an additional origination fees related to two short term notes from BFI which incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The Company also received $100,000 from the sale of certain patents.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
    From inception through March 31, 2008, Alpha CA has raised a total of $1,956,076, net of offering costs, in convertible notes that were converted into redeemable convertible preferred stock in 2004, a total of $7,615,319, net of offering costs, from the sale of redeemable convertible preferred stock, and $107,137, net of offering costs, from the issuance of common stock. As a result of the closing of the merger with Xtrana, on October 3, 2005 Alpha CA received an additional $2,033,000 in cash. As described below, the Company also raised a total of $375,000 from the sale of convertible notes and $142,500 in proceeds from the sale of restricted stock. As of March 31, 2008, we had $214,057 in cash and a working capital deficit.
 
At March 31, 2008, we had the following capital resources available:
 
 
Issuance of Convertible Note - On July 21, 2006, the Company completed a private placement offering of subordinated Senior Convertible Note with the principal amount of $375,000 due in 2011 (the "Note"). The Note bears interest at a rate of 3% per year and is due on July 20, 2011. During the occurrence of an "Event of Default" under the Note, the Note will bear interest at a rate of 10% per year. The Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price of $1.60 per share. As of March 31, 2007, no portion of the principal amount of the note had been repaid or converted.
 
 
 
Loan From Alexandria - On April 8, 2005, Alpha CA secured a loan in the amount of $1,500,000. The loan bears interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum and the outstanding principal amount of the loan is due and payable in 30 equal monthly installments of $50,000 per month beginning on November 1, 2005. As of March 31, 2008, $1,450,000 of the principal had been repaid, leaving $50,000 still owing. The obligations under the loan are secured by a second priority lien and security interest in substantially all our assets.
 
 
 
BFI Business Finance Line of Credit – On March 9, 2004, Alpha CA established a line of credit in the maximum amount of $1 million with BFI Business Finance (“BFI”). As of October, 2007, the line of credit was increased to $1.5 million.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company had drawn $1,078,000 leaving $422,000 available to draw. The interest rate is variable. As of March 31, 2008, the interest rate was 8.36 % and the outstanding balance was subject to a 0.50% per month administrative fee.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $254,330 and $87,209 for the three months ending March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a negative change in working capital of $39,737 offset by a net income of $214,593 net of adjusted non cash expenses.  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a positive change in working capital of $134,478 offset by a net income of $221,687 net of adjusted non cash expenses.  The non cash expense items included depreciation and amortization expense of $143,889 and imputed cost of stock based compensation of $54,722.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $76,474 and $59,349 for the three months ending March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively. Cash was used to purchase property and equipment needed to support our operations. These amounts include costs of demonstration systems used by our sales teams and which, in some cases, are ultimately sold to our customers.
 
Net cash used in financing activities was $131,537 and $177,737, for the three months ending March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively. In the three months ending March 31, 2008, two short term notes in favor of BFI were issued and repaid in the amount of $500,000, and $150,000 was used to repay Alexandria term and $ 124,037 BFI line of credit debt obligations. In the three months ended March 31, 2008, we sold common stock for a total of $212,500 and received proceeds of $142,500 and cancelled $70,000 of accounts payable. In the three months ending March 31, 2007, $177,737 was used to repay debt obligations.
 
    On May 9, 2008, the Company borrowed an additional $1,500,000, from Agility Capital, LLC and Montage Capital, LLC, as further described in Note 8 to the financial statements.

    If our capital resources are unable to meet our capital requirements, we will have to raise additional funds. We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or to raise capital on favorable terms. The sale of equity or convertible debt securities in the future may be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt financing arrangements may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness and may contain other terms that are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to curtail operations significantly or to obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Company management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because the material weaknesses discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, have not yet been fully remediated. In light of these material weaknesses, the Company performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
The material weaknesses identified and discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, have resulted in changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
Although not yet complete, during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we continued the following actions to remediate the material weaknesses we identified to be present as of December 31, 2007:
 
·  
We posted the whistleblower policy on our website.
 
·  
We continue to work with our external auditors and attorneys regarding new accounting principles and changes to SEC disclosure requirements.
 
·  
We conducted a review of existing signoff and review procedures as well as document control protocols for critical accounting spreadsheets.  We also increased management’s review of key financial documents and records.
 
·  
We made our information technology group the primary system administrator for our accounting system and restricted access to specific modules of the accounting system on a need-to-use and/or read-only basis.
