TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.
In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the
results of operations for the periods presented have been
included. The operating results of the Company on a quarterly basis
may not be indicative of operating results for the full year. For
further information, refer to the financial statements and notes included in
Matech Corp.’s (the Company’s) Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2007.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial
statements, the Company is in the development stage and, at September 30, 2008,
has an accumulated deficit of $332,547,374, continues to sustain operating
losses on a monthly basis, and expects to incur operating losses for the
foreseeable future. Management of the Company will need to raise
additional debt and/or equity capital to finance future
activities. However, no assurances can be made that current or
anticipated future sources of funds will enable the Company to finance future
periods’ operations. In light of these circumstances, substantial
doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”
(“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS
133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging.” SFAS 161 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company will adopt
SFAS 161 in the first quarter of 2009 and currently expect such adoption to have
no impact on its results of operations, financial position, or cash
flows.
In
April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination
of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the
factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions
used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets”. The Company will adopt FSP 142-3 in the first quarter of
2009 and currently expect such adoption to have no impact on its results of
operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In
May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS
162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of
financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly
in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does
not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material impact on its results
of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In
June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1,
“Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities” (“EITF 03-6-1”). EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether
instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating
securities prior to vesting, and therefore, need to be included in the earnings
allocation in calculating earnings per share under the two-class method
described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
“Earnings per Share.” EITF 03-6-1 requires companies to treat unvested
share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend or
dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings
per share. EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. EITF 03-6-1 is effective for Format, Inc. in the first
quarter of 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 03-6-1,
but does not expect that such adoption will have a material effect on its
results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

University
of Pennsylvania
In 1993,
the Company has entered into a license agreement with the University of
Pennsylvania (the “University”) for the development and marketing of
EFS.
Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company issued to the University 1 share of its
common stock, and a 5% royalty on sales of the product. The Company valued
the license agreement at $6,250. The license terminates upon the
expiration of the underlying patents, unless sooner terminated as provided in
the agreement. The Company is amortizing the license over 17
years.
In
addition to the license agreement, the Company also agreed under a modified
workout agreement relating to a prior sponsorship agreement to pay the
University, retroactive to January 1, 2005, the balance of $760,831, which
accrues interest at a monthly rate of 0.5% simple interest. The Company is
obligated to pay $25,000 annually due on the anniversary date of the Workout
Agreement. Further, the Company is also obligated to pay within ten days
following the filing of the Company’s Forms 10-QSB or 10-KSB an amount equal to
10% of the Company’s operating income (as defined) as reflected in the quarterly
and annual filings. Under the revised terms of the Workout Agreement, the
Company’s CEO’s annual cash salary is capped at $250,000. The Company
agreed to pay the University an amount equal to any cash salary paid to Mr.
Bernstein in excess of the $250,000, which will be credited against the balance
of the amounts due under the agreement.
Interest
expense charged to operations during the three months ended September 30, 2008
and 2007 amounted $9,833 and $10,232, respectively. Interest expense
charged to operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

(including accrued interest) at September 30, 2008 was $793,934 and is reflected
in research and development sponsorship payable in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet. The current portion represents the minimum
annual payment under the Workout Agreement, while the remaining balance is
reflected as non-current as the Company does not expect to be required to make
additional payments during the next twelve months.

On
September 23, 2003, the Company entered into a Class A Secured Convertible
Debenture (the “Debentures”) with Palisades, pursuant to which Palisades agreed

will be increased to a Default Interest Rate of 18% per annum, and the
total balance of principal and accrued interest of the debentures shall
bear interest at the Default Interest Rate from the date of the occurrence
of such Event of Default.

In
addition, the entry of any judgment against the Company in excess of
$150,000, regardless of where, how, to whom or under what agreement such
liability arises, shall be an Event of Default under the Debentures,
unless (i) the Company pays such judgment within 60 days, or (ii) the
Company duly files an appeal of such judgment and execution of such
judgment is stayed. Finally, the entry of any order or judgment
in favor of any judgment creditor or other creditor attaching the assets

If
an Event of Default occurs which is not cured within its applicable cure
period, if it is curable, the conversion price of these debentures after
such cure period has expired shall be reduced to half of the pre-Event of
Default conversion price. For clarification, if the conversion

As
further consideration for the Note Holders to extend the maturity date of the
debentures and to enter into the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay
an extension fee and a settlement fee totaling $554,910, which was added to the
outstanding balance of the debentures as of June 16, 2008 and grant the holders
warrants to purchase 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at
an exercise price of the lesser of (i) $0.001 per share, or (ii) 50% of market
price The warrants expire on October 16, 2016. Payment of the
warrant price may be in cash or cashless, at the option of the warrant
holder.
The Company accounted for
the modification of the convertible debt pursuant to EITF 96-19 “Debtor's
Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments” and recognized a
loss on the modification of $964,730 that was charged to
operations.
Further, Per EITF
00-19, paragraph 4, these convertible debentures do not meet the definition of a
“conventional convertible debt instrument” since the debt is not convertible
into a fixed number of shares. The debt can be converted into common stock
at a conversions price that is a percentage of the market price; therefore, the
number of shares that could be required to be delivered upon “net-share
settlement” is essentially indeterminate. Therefore, the convertible debenture
is considered “non-conventional,” which means that the conversion feature must
be bifurcated from the debt and shown as a separate derivative liability. The
Company recognized a derivative liability of $4,254,301 on June 16, 2008, with
an offset to debt discount in the same amount.
In
addition, since the convertible debenture is convertible into an indeterminate
number of shares of common stock, it is assumed that the Company could never
have enough authorized and unissued shares to settle the conversion of the
warrants into common stock. Therefore, the warrants issued in connection
with this transaction are also shown as a derivative liability.
In
connection with the settlement agreement, the Company entered into a consulting
agreement with an affiliate of the debenture holders for a term commencing on
May 1, 2008 and

For

agrees to assist the Company with implementing the Company’s business plan,
assist it in identifying, analyzing, structuring and negotiating acquisitions
and related activities. Under the terms of the consulting agreement, the Company
agreed to pay a fee of $20,000 per month and reimburse the Consultant for
reasonable expenses it incurred relating to the Company’s business. As further
consideration, the Company granted warrants to the consultant to purchase
5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of
the lesser of (i) $0.10 per share, or (ii) 50% of market
price The warrants expire on October 16, 2013. Payment of the
warrant price may be in cash or cashless, at the option of the warrant holder.
the Warrant Shares are stated after giving effect to a one for one-thousand
reverse stock split completed in October 2008.
During
the third quarter of 2008, the Company paid $20,000 and issued 30,000,000 shares
of its Class A common stock through the conversion of $114, 000 of
indebtedness.
The
balance of the Debenture, including accrued interest, at September 30, 2008 was
$905,884 (net of unamortized discount of $3,398,311). Interest charged to
operation in on the face amount of the debentures for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $107,576 and $73,713,
respectively. Interest charged to operation on the face amount of the
debentures for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $226,909
and $204,181, respectively. Amortization expense of the discount also
charged to operations as interest expense for the three months ended September
30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $630,357 and $330,697, respectively. Amortization
expense of the discount charged to operations as interest expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $1,439,401 and $1,155,111,
respectively.
At
September 30, 2008, the fair value of the derivative liabilities relating to the
above indicated convertible debt and warrants amounted to $3,126,644. As the
modification has an effective date of June 16, 2008, it impacted the Company’s
June 30, 2008 financial statements. A restatement of these financial statements
that include the effect of the above-indicated modifications is provided in Note
16.

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 122,512 shares of
its Class A common stock through the conversion of the total balance due on the
convertible debt amounting to $91,384. Interest charged to operations
relating to this debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
amounted to $281 and $2,356, respectively.
In
addition, since the Debentures allow the holders to convert the outstanding
principal amount into shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount to fair

On April
25, 2008, the Company borrowed $55,000 from an individual in exchange for
issuing a convertible promissory note. The note is assessed interest at an
annual rate of 4.71%. Principal and accrued interest is fully due and payable on
April 25, 2011. Until the note and accrued interest are fully paid, the lender
has the right to convert the amount due him into shares of the Company’s Class A
common stock equaling 3,5% of the shares outstanding on date of
conversion.
As the
number of shares that could be required to be delivered upon “net-share
settlement” is essentially indeterminate, the convertible debenture must be
bifurcated from the debt and shown as a separate derivative liability. The
Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $28,140 and a derivative
liability of $31,658 at June 30, 2008.
The
balance of the Debenture, including accrued interest, at September 30, 2008 was
$32,048 (net of unamortized discount of $24,079). Interest charged to
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 amounted to
$659 and 1,127, respectively. The beneficial conversion feature is treated as a
discount against the face amount of the debt and is amortized into interest
expense over the term of note. Amortization expense on the discount charged to
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 amounted to
$2,364 and $4,060, respectively.
The
Company’s market price of its common stock at September 30, 2008 was below the
exercise price and therefore no derivative liability was recorded at September
30, 2008.

In July
2008, the Company entered into a financing agreement to borrow a total of
$1,000,000 through the issuance of a convertible note. Interest accrues on the
outstanding loan balance at an annual rate of 10% per annum. Principal is due on
the maturity date with accrued interest due quarter; however, the
Company has the right to defer interest payments until the maturity date so long
as it does not have positive earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The maturity date of the
note is December 31, 2011. The balance owed on the note, including
accrued interest, is convertible at the election of the holder into so many free

is required to reserve the number of free trading shares of Common
Stock required pursuant to and upon the terms set forth in the Subscription
Agreement (approximately 100,000,000 shares), to permit the conversion of this
Debenture. The Company has pledged significantly all of its assets as collateral
on this loan.
As the
number of shares that could be required to be delivered upon “net-share
settlement” is essentially indeterminate, the convertible debenture must be
bifurcated from the debt and shown as a separate derivative liability. Company
recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $715,266 and a derivative
liability of the same amount upon receipt of the loan.
The
balance of the Debenture, including accrued interest, at September 30, 2008 was
$342,270 (net of unamortized discount of $674,443). Interest charged to
operations on the debenture for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008 amounted to $16,712, respectively. The beneficial conversion feature is
treated as a discount against the face amount of the debt and is amortized into
interest expense over the term of note. Amortization expense on the discount
charged to operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008
amounted to $40,823, respectively.
The
Company incurred fees in connection with obtaining the loan totaling $375,000.
The $375,000 is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the note.
The amount charged to interest expense during the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $18,292. The unamortized balance of
deferred loan fees is reflected on the balance sheet as an asset and its balance
as of September 30, 2008 amounted to $356,708.

Litigation
In
December 2006, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and release
agreement, as well as irrevocable escrow instructions, to settle the lawsuit
filed on March 8, 2006. As consideration under the settlement, the
Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to Mr. Beck, with the shares
to be held by an escrow agent and distributed to Mr. Beck monthly with a trading
limit equal to 8% of the previous month’s trading volume of the Company’s common
stock, until Mr. Beck has received a total of $800,000. As the Company has
guaranteed this debt to Mr. Beck in the amount of $800,000, the Company
originally recorded a liability for this amount at the time of the
settlement. As Mr. Beck receives proceeds from the sale of his shares
through the public market, the Company is reducing its guarantee by that
amount. As of September 30, 2008, the Company believes its guarantee
to Mr. Beck was $0.
Mr. Beck
has alleged that additional amounts are due him and filed suit against the
Company. As of September 30, 2008, the suit is on-going.

NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
The
Company has also been named as a defendant in a lawsuit alleging breach of
contract due to the Company’s failure to pay certain amounts due to a consultant
for services. The Company settled with the plaintiff in October 2008.
Under the terms of the settlement, the Company agreed to pay $250,000 with a
down payment of $15,000 due by November 30, 2008. The remaining balance is
payable in monthly installments of $5,000. In addition, the Company is required
to the Plaintiff a percentage of any net sums/dollars received by the Company
for any equity or debt instrument,
including sale by Robert Bernstein of his stock, as follows to reduce the
$250,000 settlement amount:
5% up to the first 2 million dollars
4% for $2,000,001 to $4,000,000
3% over $4,000,000
In the
event the Company is determined to be in default under the settlement agreement,
it is required to pay the plaintiff $250,000 less any amounts already paid, plus
10% interest on the remaining amount of the $250,000 settlement (commencing
October 7, 2008 to the date of default), plus $36,000 as a penalty. As September
30, 2008, the Company valued the obligation at its fair value of $222,852, based
upon the present value of the required future cash flows using an annual
interest rate of 6%.
In the
ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be involved in
other various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process
is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters
might have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition and/or results
of operations. However, in the opinion of its management, matters
currently pending or threatened against the Company are not expected to have a
material adverse effect on its financial position or results of
operations.
Indemnities and
Guarantees
During
the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and
guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to
certain transactions. These indemnities include certain agreements with
the Company’s officers under which the Company may be required to indemnify such
person for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. They
also include indemnities made to the holders of the convertible debentures, Mr.
Beck, with regards to his settlement with the Company, and the sellers of
investments in securities. The duration of these indemnities and
guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. The majority of
these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of

In
December 2006, the Company adopted the 2006/2007 Plan and reserved 3,000,000
shares of its common stock for grant. Eligible plan participants
include independent consultants, and the Company may issue the shares of the
stock or option may be granted at any price. The plan expires upon
the earlier of all reserved shares being granted or December 1,
2016.
On April
22, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted the 2008 Incentive and Nonstatutory
Stock Option Plan for its employees, directors, and consultants. The Company
initially reserved 100,000,000 shares of its Class A common shares to be issued
under the plan. The plan was later amended to increase the number of shares
reserved to 400,000,000. On April 22, 2008, the Company granted Mr. Bernstein
options under the plan to purchase 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A
common stock at a price of $.04 per share. The options expire ten years after
grant. On April 23, 2008, the Company granted Mr. Bernstein options under the
plan to purchase 300,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a
price of $.00462 per share. These options were returned by Mr. Bernstein on

Bernstein options under the plan to purchase 70,000,000 shares of the Company’s
Class A common stock at a price of $.0077 per share. The options expire ten
years after grant.
These
option agreements allow for cashless exercises when the fair market value of the
Company’s common stock exceeds the respective exercise price. The Company deemed
these options to be derivatives based upon their terms. At September 30, 2008,
the exercise price was higher than the market price of the Company’s underlying
common stock and therefore no liabilities were recorded.
On April
30, 2008, the Company granted options under its 2006/2007 Non-Qualified Stock
Grant and Option Plan to purchase a total of 800,000 shares of its common stock
to three officers and its Corporate Secretary. The exercise price of the options
is $.011 per share and they expire on April 30, 2016. The options were valued
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:
term of 8 years, a risk-free interest rate of 3.29%, a dividend yield of 0% and
volatility of 659%. Compensation recognized on the above option
grants was $8,800 and was charged to operations.
On April
9, 2008, pursuant to a consulting agreement, the Company granted options to a
consultant to purchase 15,390,546 shares of Class A common stock at a price of
$.025 per share. The options expire on April 9, 2018. The terms of the grant
allow for cashless exercises when the fair market value of the Company’s common
stock exceeds the respective exercise price. The Company deemed these options to
be derivatives based upon their terms but at September 30, 2008, the exercise
price was higher than the market price of the Company’s underlying common stock
and therefore no liabilities were recorded.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Disclaimer
Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Our
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are
historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by
their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties
include international, national and local general economic and market
conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast
growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw
material costs and availability; new product development and introduction;
existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with,
government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant
customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating
results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business
disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability
to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time
in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although
the forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of
our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently
known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements
are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and
outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the
forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider
the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we
attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect
our business, financial condition, and results of operations and
prospects.
Overview
We
research and develop technologies that detect and measure metal
fatigue. We have developed two products: (1) the Fatigue Fuse; and
(2) the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor. We generate very little
revenue from the sale and licensing of our products, and thus we are a
development stage company.
Our
biggest challenge is funding the commercialization of our products until we can
generate sufficient revenue to support our operations. We try to keep our
overhead low and utilize outside consultants as much as possible in order to
reduce expenses, and thus far we have been successful in raising enough capital
through loans and financing to fund operations. For the foreseeable
future, we plan to continue to raise capital in this manner.
Our
consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of
accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and
the
settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have
sustained operating losses since our inception (October 21, 1983). In
addition, we have used substantial amounts of working capital in our
operations. Further, at September 30, 2008, the deficit accumulated during
the development stage amounted to approximately $332,547,374.
In view
of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon our ability to meet
our financing requirements and the success of our future operations.
During 2007, we received approximately $4,000,000 in private financing,
primarily from the sale of equity and debt securities. Thus far in 2008,
we have received approximately $1,055,000 in private financing, also primarily
from the sale of equity and debt securities. We plan to continue to
raise funds through the sale of our securities for the foreseeable
future. In addition in 2007, we received contracts to inspect certain
bridges with nine states which generated gross revenue of approximately
$201,917. Thus far in 2008, we have received contracts to inspect certain
bridges with four entities which generated gross revenue of approximately
$30,359. We have begun marketing our current technologies while
continuing to develop new methods and applications. We will need to raise
additional capital to finance future activities and no assurances can be made
that current or anticipated future sources of funds will enable us to finance
future operations. In light of these circumstances, substantial doubt
exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might
be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Introduction
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as with the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, we did not generate positive cash flow. As a result,
we funded our operations through the private sale of equity and debt securities,
the issuance of our securities in exchange for services, and loans.
Our cash,
investments in marketable securities held for trading, investments in marketable
securities available for sale, accounts receivable, prepaid services, prepaid
expenses and other current assets, total current assets, total assets, total
current liabilities, and total liabilities as of September 30, 2008, as compared
to September 30, 2007, were as follows:

Cash
Requirements
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, our net cash used in operations was
$(2,381,825) compared to $(2,450,964) for the nine months ended September 30,
2007.
Negative
operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were
primarily created by a net loss from operations of $(19,338,972), offset by the
issuance of stock for services of $4,729,541, amortization of discount on
convertible debentures of $1,497,617 and an increase in officer stock based
compensation of $19,885,333. There was also an decrease in the fair value
of derivative and warrant liabilities of $(10,431,555), accrued interest on debt
of $272,077, net decrease in other assets of $19,961and net increase in other
liabilities of $19,443.
Negative
operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were
primarily created by a net loss from operations of $(84,336,192), offset by
impairment losses of $19,294,877 incurred in connection with the acquisition of
a subsidiary, the issuance of stock for services of $19,519,168, amortization of
discount on convertible debentures of $1,765,110, a decrease in the fair value
of derivative and warrant liabilities of $(14,505,323), an increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $(14,942), an increase in officer stock based
compensation of $45,000,000 and a net increase in other assets of
$(40,215). There was also a decrease in the fair value of derivative
and warrant liabilities of $14,505,323. Because of our need for cash to fund our
continuing research and development, we do not have an opinion as to how
indicative these results will be of future results.
Sources and Uses of
Cash
Net cash
provided by (used in) investing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2008 and 2007 were $1,282,833 and $(865,333), respectively. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the net cash came primarily from
the sale of securities and maturities of other investments in the amount of
$1,865,000 and $537,174, respectively, offset by the amount for purchase of
securities of $(565,000) and $(1,952,038), respectively. Net
cash
from
investment activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
were further decreased by $17,167 and $50,469, respectively, for amounts we paid
in the purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash
provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
and 2007, was $730,358 and $4,174,285, respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2008, the net cash used pertained to the purchase
of 207,000 shares of our common stock still held in treasury totaling
$3,266 and an increase in the amount of indebtedness of
$1,115,000. In addition, during the nine month ended September 30,
2008, the Company received $18,624 through the issuance of 77,600 of its common
stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the net cash
came primarily from the sale of common stock and warrants of $4,079,935 and
proceeds from convertible debentures and other notes payable of
$200,000.
We are
not generating sufficient cash flow from operations to fund growth. We
cannot predict when we will begin to generate revenue from the sale of our
products, and until that time, we will need to raise additional capital through
the sale of our securities. If we are unsuccessful in raising the required
capital, we may have to curtail operations.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
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 judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we
have identified the following accounting policies that we believe are key to an
understanding of our financial statements. These are important accounting
policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective
judgments.
The first
critical accounting policy relates to revenue recognition. Income from our
research is recognized at the time services are rendered and
billed.
The
second critical accounting policy relates to research and development
expense. Costs incurred in the development of our products are expensed as
incurred.
The third
critical accounting policy relates to the valuation of non-monetary
consideration issued for services rendered. We value all services rendered in
exchange for our common stock at the quoted price of the shares issued at date
of issuance or at the fair value of the services rendered, which ever is more
readily determinable. All other services provided in exchange for other
non-monetary consideration is valued at either the fair value of the services
received or the fair value of the consideration relinquished, whichever is more
readily determinable.
Our
accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in
exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments
That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with
Selling, Goods or Services ” and EITF 00-18, Accounting Recognition for Certain
Transactions Involving
Equity Instruments Granted to Other
Than Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the
equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which
a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the
date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the
case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity
instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting
agreement. In accordance to EITF 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange
for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not
be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet
once the equity instrument is granted for accounting
purposes. Accordingly, we record the fair value of nonforfeitable
common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in our
consolidated balance sheet.
The
fourth critical accounting policy is our accounting for conventional convertible
debt. When the convertible feature of the conventional convertible debt
provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is
characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (BCF”). We record a BCF
as a debt discount pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 (EITF 98-05), Accounting for Convertible
Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable
Conversion Ratio,” and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5
to Certain Convertible Instrument(s).” In those
circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related
to the BCF. We amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of
the debt using the effective interest method.
The fifth
critical account policy relates to the accounting for non-conventional
convertible debt and the related stock purchase warrants. In the case of
non-conventional convertible debt, we bifurcate our embedded derivative
instruments and record them under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, and
EITF Issue No. 00-19,
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially
Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” These embedded derivatives
include the conversion feature, liquidated damages related to registration
rights and default provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative
financial instruments requires that we record the derivatives and related
warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at
fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. In addition, under
the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, as a result of entering into the
non-conventional convertible debenture, we are required to value and classify
all other non-employee stock options and warrants as derivative liabilities at
that date and mark them to market at each reporting date thereafter. Any
change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or
expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is
higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, we will record a non-operating,
non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the
subsequent balance sheet date, we will record non-operating, non-cash
income. We value our derivatives primarily using the Black-Scholes Option
Pricing Model. The derivatives are classified as long-term
liabilities.
The sixth
critical accounting policy relates to the recording of marketable securities
held for trading and available-for-sale. Marketable securities purchased
with the intent of selling them in the near term are classified as trading
securities. Trading securities are initially recorded at cost and are
adjusted to their fair value, with the change in fair value during the period
included in earnings as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or
losses on dispositions are based upon the net proceeds and the adjusted book
value of the securities sold, using the specific
identification
method, and are recorded as realized gains or losses in the consolidated
statements of operations. Marketable securities that are not classified as
trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.
Available-for-sale securities are initially recorded at cost.
Available-for-sale securities with quoted market prices are adjusted to their
fair value, subject to an impairment analysis (see below). Any change in
fair value during the period is excluded from earnings and recorded, net of tax,
as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Any
decline in value of available-for-sale securities below cost that is considered
to be other than temporary is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of the
security and is included in the statement of operations as a write down of the
market value (see below).
The
seventh critical accounting policy is our accounting for the fair market value
of non-marketable securities we have acquired. Non-marketable securities
are originally recorded at cost. In the case of non-marketable
securities we acquired with our common stock, we value the securities at a
significant discount to the stated per share cost based upon our historical
experience with similar transactions as to the amount ultimately realized from
the sale of the shares. Such investments are reduced when we have
indications that a permanent decline in value has occurred. At such time
as quoted market prices become available, the net cost basis of these securities
will be reclassified to the appropriate category of marketable securities.
Until that time, the securities will be recorded at their net cost basis,
subject to an impairment analysis (see below).
In
accordance with the guidance of EITF 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, we assess any
decline in value of available-for-sale securities and non-marketable securities
below cost as to whether such decline is other than temporary. If a
decline is determined to be other than temporary, the decline is recorded as a
reduction of the cost basis of the security and is included in the statement of
operations as an impairment write down of the investment.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
about Market Risk
We are a
smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this
item.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
President and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) have evaluated
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of
period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, the
Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective to
ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that
we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including the Certifying Officers, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, due to the
material weaknesses described below.
In light
of the material weaknesses described below, the Certifying Officers performed
additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated
financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated
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.
A
material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 2) or
combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected. The Certifying Officers have
identified the following three material weaknesses which have caused the
Certifying Officers to conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. We
do not yet have written documentation of our internal control policies and
procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial
reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will be
applicable to us for the year ending December 31, 2008. The Certifying
Officers evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of
our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure
controls and procedures and have concluded that the control deficiency that
resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We
do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which
is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of
all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically
feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions,
the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by
separate individuals. The Certifying Officers evaluated the impact of our
failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure
controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that
resulted represented a material weakness.
3. We
had a significant number of audit adjustments for the last three fiscal years.
Audit adjustments are the result of a failure of the internal controls to
prevent or detect misstatements of accounting information. The failure
could be due to inadequate design of the internal controls or to a
misapplication or override of controls. The Certifying Officers evaluated
the impact of our significant number of audit adjustments last year and have
concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material
weakness.
On
November 27, 2007, our Certifying Officers concluded that in valuing previous
periods’ non-cash security transactions, we utilized discounts to the respective
share’s trading prices as well as its derivative liabilities which they have
determined are without foundation.
As a
result of this evaluation and conclusion, the Certifying Officers in conjunction
with our Board of Directors concluded that previously issued consolidated
financial statements included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, and 2007, as well as all of our
quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB during the 2005, 2006 and 2007 fiscal years,
could no longer be relied upon. In this regard, we amended and restated
our financial statements to eliminate all discounts and refiled our Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The net
effect of the restatements was to increase the accumulated deficit at June 30,
2007 from $100,909,477 to $125,493,633.
The
Certifying Officers have discussed this matter with our current independent
registered public accounting firm.
To
remediate the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures
identified above, in addition to working with our independent auditors, we have
continued to refine our internal procedures to begin to implement segregation of
duties and to reduce the number of audit adjustments.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this

Stephen
Beck
In July
2002, we settled a lawsuit related to a contract dispute with Mr. Stephen Beck.
In March 2006, Mr. Beck filed a lawsuit against us alleging breach of
contract related to the lawsuit settlement and sought monetary damages, plus the
issuance of shares of our common stock plus interest.
In
December 2006, we entered into a settlement and release agreement, as well as
irrevocable escrow instructions, to settle the lawsuit Mr. Beck filed in March
2006. As consideration under the settlement, we issued 5,000,000 shares of
our common stock to Mr. Beck, with the shares to be held by an escrow agent and
distributed to Mr. Beck monthly with a trading limit equal to 8% of the previous
month’s trading volume of our common stock, until Mr. Beck received a total of
$800,000. As Mr. Beck received proceeds from the sale of his shares into
the market and 7.5% (net of any expenses incurred by us) of any cash raised by
us from the sale of equity, we would reduce our guarantee by that
amount. We have paid a total of $285,182 to Mr. Beck in cash as part
of the settlement. Mr. Beck also had anti-dilution rights on those shares
to maintain his percentage ownership through September 27, 2008. We issued
another 5,000,000 shares to Mr. Beck to be held in escrow until the conditions
were met with respect to the anti-dilution shares. As of the date of this
report, we have issued a total of 1,393,617 shares of common stock to Mr. Beck
pursuant to the anti-dilution provision in the settlement arrangement. In
or about February 2008, Mr. Beck reached the $800,000 guarantee from the sale of
our common stock and the cash received from us for 7.5% of the capital we
raised. Therefore, as of the date of this report, we have no further
liability to Mr. Beck.
On
September 12, 2007, we filed a complaint for declaratory relief against Mr. Beck
in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central
Judicial District, seeking a judicial determination as to the respective rights
and duties of us and Mr. Beck with respect to certain terms and conditions of
the settlement agreement and escrow instructions.
On
February 7, 2008, we filed a first amended complaint in our action against Mr.
Beck for declaratory relief which now also seeks to have the settlement
agreement and escrow instructions rescinded. On March 6, 2008, Mr. Beck
filed a cross-complaint against us and Robert M. Bernstein, our President and a
Director, for breach of contract, specific performance, declaratory relief,
conversion, intentional interference with contract (against Mr. Bernstein only)
and, in the alternative, equitable restitution. Trial is scheduled
for February 2, 2009.
Gem
Advisors, Inc., GEM Global Emerging Markets, and Global Emerging Markets of
North America, Inc.
On June
15, 2005, we filed a Complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court, State of
California, case number BC336689, against Gem Advisors, Inc., GEM Global
Emerging Markets, and Global Emerging Markets of North America, Inc., seeking a
declaration regarding certain
agreements
we entered into with the parties. We did not seek monetary damages.
On November 16, 2005, Gem Advisors, Inc. filed an Answer and Cross-Complaint,
seeking approximately $1.9 million in damages arising out of finders fees for
certain transactions. On November 30, 2005, default judgments were entered
against the other defendants who failed to respond to our Complaint. In
September 2006, this case was dismissed as to all parties because the parties
thought they could agree on the terms of a written settlement agreement.
However, the parties failed to reach a settlement and no formal settlement
agreement was ever executed.
On
November 30, 2007, Gem Advisors, Inc. (“Gem”) filed a lawsuit
against us, Robert M. Bernstein, and Lawrence I. Washor (who
represented us in the lawsuit against Gem filed on June 15, 2005), for
breach of contract (settlement), breach of contract (for transfer to Gem of
585,000 shares we held in another company), breach of covenant of good faith and
fair dealing, and fraud and deceit – promise made without intention to perform
(the only cause of action asserted against Robert M. Bernstein and Lawrence I.
Washor). Gem sought damages in excess of $250,000. On April 10, 2008, the
court sustained Lawrence I. Washor’s demurrer to the complaint, and dismissed
Lawrence I. Washor from the lawsuit.
On
October 9, 2008, we agreed to a settlement with Gem on the record of the
court. The settlement provides that, in exchange for Gem’s agreement
to dismiss its lawsuit against us and our Chief Executive Officer, Robert M.
Bernstein, we would pay Gem the total sum of $250,000 as follows: (1) $15,000 by
November 30, 2008; (2) $5,000 no later than the last day of the month each month
thereafter; and (3) a percentage of any net funds received by us for any equity
or debt instrument sold, including any funds received from Robert M. Bernstein
from the sale of his stock, to reduce the $250,000 settlement amount, as
follows: (i) 5% up to the first $2,000,000 received, (ii) 4% for amounts
received between $2,000,001 to $4,000,000, and (iii) 3% of all amount received
over $4,000,000.

Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and
Use of Proceeds
On July
14, 2008, we issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock, restricted in
accordance with Rule 144, in consideration for the cancellation of $20,000 of
convertible debt. The issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), and the shareholders are
accredited investors who are familiar with our operations.
On August
14, 2008, we issued 20,000,000 shares of our common stock, restricted in
accordance with Rule 144, in consideration for the cancellation of $40,000 of
convertible debt. The issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Act, and the shareholders are accredited investors who are
familiar with our operations.
On August
29, 2008, we issued warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at
a price of $0.20 per share. We issued the securities to one non-U.S.
person (as that term is defined
in
Regulation S of the Act) in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation
S and/or Section 4(2) of the Act.
Item
3. Defaults Upon
Senior Securities.
There
have been no events which are required to be reported under this
item.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders.
On
September 9, 2008, a majority of our shareholders executed a majority written
consent in lieu of an annual meeting to avoid the expenses of holding a formal
annual meeting. The majority shareholders voted to: (a) re-elect the
current directors on our Board of Directors (Robert M. Bernstein, William Berks,
and Joel R. Freedman); (b) ratify our current capitalization of: 600,000,000
shares of Class A common stock; 600,000 shares of Class B common stock; and
50,000,000 shares of preferred stock; (c) amend our Articles of Incorporation to
effect a one for 1,000 reverse stock split; (d) amend our Articles of
Incorporation to change our name to Matech Corp.; (f) authorize our 2008 Stock
Option Plan; and (g) ratify our appointment of Gruber & Co., LLC as our
independent public accountants.
