CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2013
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 -- The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
OXIS International, Inc. (collectively, “OXIS” or the “Company”) is engaged in the research, development and sale of products that counteract the harmful effects of “oxidative stress” and inflammation. Oxidative stress refers to the situations in which the body’s antioxidant and other defensive abilities to combat free radicals (a.k.a. highly reactive species of oxygen and nitrogen) are overwhelmed and normal healthy balance is lost. The Company’s current finished product and finished product candidates include therapeutic nutraceutical products, cosmeceutical products, functional foods and functional beverages. The Company also possesses intellectual property covering a number of proprietary compounds and formulations that may be out-licensed to biotech and pharmaceutical companies as drug candidates. The Company’s primary focus currently is on products that incorporate the unique amino acid naturally occurring compound, L-Ergothioneine (“ERGO”), as a key component. Ergothioneine is produced only by microorganisms in soil and is not synthesized by humans, animals or plants. The Company has spent approximately $75 million in researching and developing ERGO, and now owns a patented process to synthesize commercial quantities of ERGO in a highly stable form that is highly soluble and tasteless, making it suitable for use in combination with other nutraceuticals and botanicals in a wide variety of dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages, and topical anti-aging products including lotions and creams.
In 1965, the corporate predecessor of OXIS, Diagnostic Data, Inc. was incorporated in the State of California. Diagnostic Data changed its incorporation to the State of Delaware in 1972; and changed its name to DDI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in 1985. In 1994, DDI Pharmaceuticals merged with International BioClinical, Inc. and Bioxytech S.A. and changed its name to OXIS International, Inc.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $88,804,000 through June 30, 2013. On a consolidated basis, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11,000 at June 30, 2013. The Company's plan is to raise additional capital until such time that the Company generates sufficient revenues to cover its cash flow needs and/or it achieves profitability. However, the Company cannot assure that it will accomplish this task and there are many factors that may prevent the Company from reaching its goal of profitability.
The current rate of cash usage raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, absent any sources of significant cash flows. In an effort to mitigate this near-term concern the Company intends to seek additional equity or debt financing to obtain sufficient funds to sustain operations. The Company plans to increase revenues by introducing new nutraceutical products primarily based on its ergothioneine assets. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will successfully obtain equity or debt or other financing, if any, sufficient to finance its goals or that the Company will generate future product related revenues. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue in existence.
Use of Estimates
The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition
Product Revenue
The Company manufactures, or has manufactured on a contract basis, fine chemicals and nutraceutical products, which are its primary products to be sold to customers. Revenue from the sale of its products, including shipping fees, will be recognized when title to the products is transferred to the customer which usually occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order and when collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from sales to distributors of its products will be recognized, net of allowances, upon delivery of product to the distributors. According to the terms of individual distributor contracts, a distributor may return product up to a maximum amount and under certain conditions contained in its contract. Allowances are calculated based upon historical data, current economic conditions and the underlying contractual terms.
License Revenue
License arrangements may consist of non-refundable upfront license fees, exclusive licensed rights to patented or patent pending technology, and various performance or sales milestones and future product royalty payments. Some of these arrangements are multiple element arrangements.
Non-refundable, up-front fees that are not contingent on any future performance by us, and require no consequential continuing involvement on our part, are recognized as revenue when the license term commences and the licensed data, technology and/or compound is delivered. We defer recognition of non-refundable upfront fees if we have continuing performance obligations without which the technology, right, product or service conveyed in conjunction with the non-refundable fee has no utility to the licensee that is separate and independent of our performance under the other elements of the arrangement. In addition, if we have continuing involvement through research and development services that are required because our know-how and expertise related to the technology is proprietary to us, or can only be performed by us, then such up-front fees are deferred and recognized over the period of continuing involvement.
Payments related to substantive, performance-based milestones in a research and development arrangement are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the milestones as specified in the underlying agreements when they represent the culmination of the earnings process.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates in one reportable segment.
Stock Based Compensation to Employees
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation for employees in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees over the related vesting period.
The Company granted stock options to purchase -0- and 26,384,193 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees and directors during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The fair values of employee stock options are estimated for the calculation of the pro forma adjustments at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions during 2012: expected volatility of 116%; average risk-free interest rate of 1.04% to 2.04%; initial expected life of 5 to 10 years; no expected dividend yield; and amortized over the vesting period of typically one to four years. The Company reported an expense for share-based compensation for its employees and directors of $175,000 and $421,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(UNAUDITED)
Stock Based Compensation to Other than Employees
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC 718. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably determinable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services. 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. The Company recognized no expense in share-based compensation for non-employees for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the earnings for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the potential dilutive effect of common shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding stock options and warrants during the period. Since the Company incurred a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012, all instruments convertible into shares of common stock are excluded from net diluted loss per share because of their anti-dilutive effect. Total potentially dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of earnings per share at June 30, 2013 totaled 471,716,503.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels are defined as follows:
|
|
·
|
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. The Company’s Level 1 assets include cash equivalents, primarily institutional money market funds, whose carrying value represents fair value because of their short-term maturities of the investments held by these funds.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. The Company’s Level 2 liabilities consist of two liabilities arising from the issuance of convertible securities and in accordance with ASC 815-40: a warrant liability for detachable warrants, as well as an accrued derivative liability for the beneficial conversion feature. These liabilities are remeasured on a quarterly basis. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on observable market inputs, such as share price data and a discount rate consistent with that of a government-issued security of a similar maturity.

Note 3 – Debt
Convertible debentures
On October 25, 2006, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“2006 Purchase Agreement”) with four accredited investors (the “2006 Purchasers”). In conjunction with the signing of the 2006 Purchase Agreement, the Company issued secured convertible debentures (“2006 Debentures”) and Series A, B, C, D, and E common stock warrants (“2006 Warrants”) to the 2006 Purchasers, and the parties also entered into a security agreement (the “2006 Security Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to grant the 2006 Purchasers, pari passu, a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Purchase Agreement, the Company issued the 2006 Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $1,694,250 to the 2006 Purchasers. The 2006 Debentures are subject to an original issue discount of 20.318% resulting in proceeds to the Company of $1,350,000 from the transaction. The 2006 Debentures were due on October 25, 2008. The 2006 Debentures are convertible, at the option of the 2006 Purchasers, at any time prior to payment in full, into shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the full ratchet anti-dilution provision the current conversion price is $0.01 per share (the “2006 Conversion Price”). Beginning on the first of the month beginning February 1, 2007, the Company was required to amortize the 2006 Debentures in equal installments on a monthly basis resulting in a complete repayment by the maturity date (the “Monthly Redemption Amounts”). The Monthly Redemption Amounts could have been paid in cash or in shares, subject to certain restrictions. If the Company chose to make any Monthly Redemption Amount payment in shares of common stock, the price per share would have been the lesser of the Conversion Price then in effect and 85% of the weighted average price for the 10-trading days prior to the due date of the Monthly Redemption Amount. The Company did not make any of the required monthly redemption payments.
Pursuant to the provisions of the 2006 Debentures, such non-payment was an event of default and penalty interest has accrued on the unpaid redemption balance at an interest rate equal to the lower of 18% per annum and the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, each of the 2006 Purchasers has the right to accelerate the cash repayment of at least 130% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2006 Debenture (plus accrued but unpaid liquidated damages and interest) and to sell substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the provisions of the 2006 Security Agreement to satisfy any such unpaid balance. On June 6, 2008, the Company received notification from Bristol Investment Fund, Ltd (“Bristol”), that the collateral held under the 2006 Security Agreement would be sold to the highest qualified bidder on Thursday, June 19, 2008. On June 19, 2008, the Company received a Notice of Disposition of Collateral from Bristol in which Bristol notified the Company that Bristol, acting as the agent for itself and the three other 2006 Purchasers, purchased certain assets held as collateral under the 2006 Security Agreement. Bristol purchased 111,025 shares of common stock of BioCheck, Inc., the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, on a credit bid of $50,000, and Bristol also purchased 1,000 shares of the capital stock of OXIS Therapeutics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of OXIS, for a credit bid of $10,000. In December 2005, OXIS purchased the 111,025 shares of common stock of BioCheck, Inc. for $3,060,000. After crediting the aggregate amount of $60,000 to the aggregate amount due under the 2006 Debentures, plus fees and charges due through June 19, 2008, Bristol notified the Company that the Company remains obligated to the 2006 Purchasers in a deficiency in an aggregate amount of $2,688,000 as of June 19, 2008. As a result of the disposition of the collateral, the Company recorded a net loss aggregating $2,978,000.
Under the 2006 Purchase Agreement, the 2006 Purchasers also have a right of first refusal to participate in up to 100% of any future financing undertaken by the Company until the 2006 Debentures are no longer outstanding. In addition, the Company is also prohibited from effecting any subsequent financing involving a variable rate transaction until such time as no 2006 Purchaser holds any of the 2006 Debentures. Furthermore, so long as any 2006 Purchaser holds any of the securities issued under the 2006 Purchase Agreement, if the Company issues or sells any common stock or instruments convertible into common stock which a 2006 Purchaser reasonably believes is on terms more favorable to such investors than the terms pursuant to the 2006 Debentures or 2006 Warrants, the Company is obligated to permit such 2006 Purchaser the benefits of such better terms.
Of the 2006 Warrants issued by the Company to the 2006 Purchasers, only the Series A Warrants remain outstanding. The Series A Warrants, which now expire in October 2014, permit the holders to purchase 2,420,357 shares of common stock at an original exercise price of $0.35 per share. Such exercise price is adjustable pursuant to a full ratchet anti-dilution provision and upon the occurrence of a stock split or a related event.
During 2009, Bristol converted $177,900 of the principal amount of 2006 Debentures for 17,790,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. During 2010, Bristol converted an additional $401,000 of the principal amount of 2006 Debentures for 40,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. During 2011, an additional $605,000 of the principal amount of 2006 Debentures was converted into 60,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Of the $605,000 converted in 2011, $53,125 was converted into 5,312,500 shares of the Company’s common stock during the first quarter of 2011. During 2012, an additional $369,625 of the principal amount of 2006 Debentures was converted into 87,654,791 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The 2006 Debentures do not meet the definition of a “conventional convertible debt instrument” since they are not convertible into a fixed number of shares. The Monthly Redemption Amounts can be paid with common stock at a conversion 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 2006 Debentures are considered “non-conventional,” which means that the conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt and shown as a separate derivative liability. This beneficial conversion liability has been calculated to be $690,000 on October 25, 2006. In addition, since the 2006 Debentures are 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 2006 Warrants issues in this transaction into common stock. Therefore, the 2006 Warrants have a fair value of $2,334,000 at October 25, 2006. The value of the 2006 Warrant was calculated using the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: Discount rate of 4.5%, volatility of 158% and expected term of 1 to 6 years. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature and the 2006 Warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value on each balance sheet date with the change being shown as a component of net loss. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature and the 2006 Warrants at the inception of the 2006 Debentures were $690,000 and $2,334,000, respectively.
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company determined the fair value of the 2006 Warrants was $2,000 and $34,000, respectively.
On October 1, 2009, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with several accredited investors (the “2009 Investors”), pursuant to which it sold various securities in consideration of a maximum aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “2009 Financing”). In connection with the 2009 Financing, the Company issued the following securities to the 2009 Investors:
|
|
·
|
0% Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $2,000,000 due 24 months from the date of issuance (the “ 2009 Debentures”), convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share conversion price equal to $0.05 per share;
|
|
|
·
|
Series A warrant to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the principal amount invested by each 2009 Investor (the “2009 Class A Warrants” ) resulting in the issuance of Class A Warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
|
|
|
·
|
Series B warrant to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the principal amount invested by each 2009 Investor (the “2009 Class B Warrants”) resulting in the issuance of Class B Warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
|
The Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants (collectively, the “ 2009 Warrants”) are exercisable for up to five years from the date of issue at a per share exercise price equal to $0.0625 and $0.075 for the Class A Warrants and the Class B Warrants, respectively, on a cash or cashless basis. The 2009 Debentures and the 2009 Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “2009 Securities”.
In connection with the sale of the 2009 Securities by the Company, the Company and Bristol entered a Standstill and Forbearance Agreement, pursuant to which Bristol agreed to refrain and forbear from exercising certain rights and remedies with respect to (i) the 2006 Debentures and (ii) certain demand notes (the “Bridge Notes”) issued by the Company on October 8, 2008, March 19, 2009, April 7, 2009, April 28, 2009, May 21, 2009 and June 25, 2009 and discussed under the caption “Demand Notes” below. In connection with the sale of the 2009 Securities by the Company, the Company and Bristol have also entered into a waiver agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”) pursuant to which Bristol waived certain rights with respect to the 2006 Debentures and Bridge Notes.

The conversion price of the 2009 Debentures and the exercise price of the 2009 Warrants are subject to full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment in the event that the Company thereafter issues common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the conversion price or the exercise price, respectively, and to other normal and customary anti-dilution adjustment upon certain other events. So long as the 2009 Debentures are outstanding, if the Company effects a subsequent financing, the October 2009 Investors may elect, in their sole discretion, to exchange all or some of the October 2009 Debentures (but not the 2009 Warrants) for any securities or units issued in a subsequent financing on a $1.00 for $1.00 basis or to have any particular provisions of the subsequent financing legal documents apply to the documents utilized for the October 2009 Financing.
The Company also agreed that if it determines to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others, then it shall include the shares of common stock underlying the 2009 Securities on such registration statement. The 2009 Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert the 2009 Debentures and exercise the 2009 Warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of the Company common stock held by a 2009 Investor and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.9% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
During 2010, 2009 Investors converted $1,335,000 of the principal amount of 2009 Debentures for 26,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. During 2011, 2009 Investors converted $610,000 of the principal amount of 2009 Debentures for 12,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, at June 30, 2013, $55,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2009 Debentures remained outstanding. In addition, as of June 30, 2013, 93,125,000 of the 2009 Class A Warrants and 125,625,000 of the 2009 Class B Warrants remained outstanding.

On August 8, 2012, a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release ("Agreement") was made by and between OXIS and Bristol Investment Fund, Ltd., in order to settle certain claims regarding certain convertible debentures held by Bristol.
Pursuant to the Agreement, OXIS shall pay Bristol (half of which payment would redound to Merit Capital Limited (“Merit”)) a total of $1,119,778 as payment in full for the losses suffered and all costs incurred by Bristol in connection with the Transaction. Payment of such $1,119,778 shall be made as follows: OXIS shall issue restricted common stock to each of Bristol and Merit, in an amount such that each Bristol and Merit shall hold no more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of OXIS (including any shares that each may hold as of the date of issuance). The shares so issued represent $417,475.65 of the $1,119,778 payment (27,831,710 shares at $0.015 per share, of which 9,168,750 will be retained by Bristol and 18,662,960 will be issued to Merit). The remaining balance of the payment shall be made in the form of two convertible promissory notes in the respective amounts of $422,357.75 for Bristol and $279,944.60 for Merit (collectively, the “Notes”) with a maturity of December 1, 2017 having an 8% annual interest rate, with interest only accruing until January 1, 2013, and then level payments of $3,750 each beginning January 1, 2013 until paid in full on December 1, 2017. Through June 30, 2013, one payment of $3,750 has been made to each of the Notes holders. In the event a default in the monthly payments on the Notes has occurred and is continuing each holder of the Notes shall be permitted to convert the unpaid principal and interest of the Notes into shares of OXIS at $.01 cents per share. In the absence of such continuing default no conversion of the Notes will be permitted. OXIS will have the right to repay the Notes in full at any time without penalty.

On June 29, 2011 the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (“Joint Venture Agreement”) with John E. Repine, M.D. (“Dr. Repine”), a member of the Company’s advisory board. Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company formed a Delaware limited liability company, Ergo ARDS, LLC (the “ARDS Venture”), in which the Company holds a 60% membership interest and Dr. Repine holds a 40% membership interest. The ARDS Venture was formed to develop, acquire and market dietary supplements, cosmeceutical products, nutraceutical products, medical foods and pharmaceuticals using EGT™ for treating, diagnosing and preventing acute respiratory distress syndrome and other lung disorders (collectively “ARDS”).
Concurrently with the execution of the Joint Venture Agreement, Dr. Repine assigned his interest in the patent applications relating to the use of ERGO in treating ARDS (the “Assigned IP”) to the ARDS Venture. In consideration for the Assigned Interest, Dr. Repine was issued a 40% membership interest in the ARDS Venture.
OXIS will be responsible for supplying EGT™ to the ARDS Venture at no cost in connection with the ARDS Venture’s animal studies. OXIS will also pay all patent prosecution and maintenance costs relating to the Assigned IP. The ARDS Venture is required to make payments to Dr. Repine upon the achievement of certain milestones by the ARDS Venture. Any future payments to Dr. Repine shall be made based on the achievement of following milestones with respect to products to be commercialized using the Assigned IP:

In the event both parties agree to not proceed, the ARDS Venture will continue to hold the intellectual property. If the parties agree to proceed, OXIS will use its best efforts to raise $3 million for the ARDS Venture.

Note 4 -- Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
Under the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company was authorized to issue a total of 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
On January 5, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the shares of Common Stock that are authorized for issuance by 450,000,000 shares, bringing the total number of common shares authorized for issuance to 600,000,000.
Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company issued a total of 14,311,111 and 30,500,000 shares of common stock, respectively for retirement of debt valued at $250,300 and $305,000, respectively.
Preferred Stock
The 96,230 shares of Series C preferred stock are convertible into 27,800 shares of the Company's common stock at the option of the holders at any time. The conversion ratio is based on the average closing bid price of the common stock for the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on the date immediately preceding the date notice of conversion is given, but cannot be less than .20 or more than .2889 common shares for each Series C preferred share. The conversion ratio may be adjusted under certain circumstances such as stock splits or stock dividends. The Company has the right to automatically convert the Series C preferred stock into common stock if the Company lists its shares of common stock on the Nasdaq National Market and the average closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq National Market for 15 consecutive trading days exceeds $13.00. Each share of Series C preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to .26 divided by the average closing bid price of the Company's common stock during the fifteen consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date such shares of Series C preferred stock were purchased. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Series C preferred stock shall participate on an equal basis with the holders of the common stock (as if the Series C preferred stock had converted into common stock) in any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company. The holders of Series C preferred stock are entitled to noncumulative dividends if and when declared by the Company's board of directors. No dividends to Series C preferred stockholders were issued or unpaid through June 30, 2013.
On December 4, 2008, the Company entered into and closed an Agreement (the “Bristol Agreement”) with Bristol Investment Fund, Ltd. pursuant to which Bristol agreed to cancel the debt payable by the Company to Bristol in the amount of approximately $20,000 in consideration of the Company issuing Bristol 25,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, which such shares carry a stated value equal to $1.00 per share (the “Series G Stock”).
The Series G Stock is convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into common shares of the Company based on a conversion price equal to the lesser of $.01 or 60% of the average of the three lowest trading prices occurring at any time during the 20 trading days preceding the conversion. The Series G Stock, as amended, shall have voting rights on an as converted basis multiplied by 100.
In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series G Stock will be entitled to receive, in preference to holders of common stock, an amount equal to the stated value plus interest of 15% per year.

The Series G Stock restricts the ability of the holder to convert the Series G Stock and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of the Company common stock held by Bristol and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.9% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
The Series G Stock was previously referred to in an 8-K filed by the Company on December 10, 2008 in error as the “Series E Stock”. Further, the Series G Stock initially incorrectly provided that it voted on an as converted basis multiplied by 10. This incorrectly reflected the intent of the Company and the holder.
On October 13, 2009, the Company was informed by Theorem Group, LLC that it had purchased all of the outstanding Series G Preferred Stock and Theorem gave notice to the Company that it intended to exercise its ability to vote on all shareholder matters utilizing the super voting privileges provided by the Series G Stock.
Effective February 10, 2010, the Company issued 25,000 shares of its new Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H Preferred”) to Theorem Group, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Stockholder”), in exchange for the 25,000 shares of Series G Stock then owned by the Stockholder. The foregoing exchange was effected pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement, dated February 10, 2010, between the Company and the Stockholder (the “Exchange Agreement”).
The Certificate of Designation of the Series H Preferred is based on, and substantially similar to the form and substance of the Certificate of Designation of the Series G Preferred. Some of the corrections, changes and differences between the Certificate of Designation of the Series G Preferred and the Certificate of Designation of the Series H Preferred include the following:
|
|
·
|
As previously disclosed, the holder of the Series H Preferred is entitled to vote with the common stock, and is entitled to a number of votes equal to (i) the number of shares of common stock it can convert into (without any restrictions or limitations on such conversion), (ii) multiplied by 100.
|
|
|
·
|
The holder of the Series H Preferred cannot convert such preferred stock into shares of common stock if the holder and its affiliates after such conversion would own more than 9.9% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
|
|
|
·
|
The Series G Preferred contained a limitation that the holder of the Series G Preferred could not convert such preferred shares into more than 19.999% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock without the approval of the stockholders if the rules of the principal market on which the common stock is traded would prohibit such a conversion. Since the rules of the Company’s principal market did not require such a limitation, that provision has been deleted.

On November 8, 2010, Gemini Pharmaceuticals purchased 1,666,667 shares of the Company’s Series I Preferred Stock, $.001 par value, at a price of $0.15 per share ($250,000).
As the holder of the Series I Preferred Stock, Gemini Pharmaceuticals will be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available, dividends in cash at the annual rate of 8.0% of the Preference Amount ($0.15), when, as, and if declared by the Board. No dividends or other distributions shall be made with respect to any shares of junior stock until dividends in the same amount per share on the Series I Preferred Stock shall have been declared and paid or set apart during that fiscal year. Dividends on the Series I Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative and no right shall accrue to the Series I Preferred Stock by reason of the fact that the Company may fail to declare or pay dividends on the Series I Preferred Stock in the amount of the Dividend Rate per share or in any amount in any previous fiscal year of the Company, whether or not the earnings of the Company in that previous fiscal year were sufficient to pay such dividends in whole or in part.
Each share of Series I Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to such number of votes per share as shall equal the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole number) into which such share of Series I Preferred Stock is then convertible.

Upon any liquidation of the Company, subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Stock, the holders of the shares of Series I Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive and be paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its stockholders liquidating distributions in cash or property at its fair market value as determined by the Board in the amount of $0.15 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares).
Shares of Series I Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder thereof, be converted at any time or from time to time into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock which a holder of shares of Series I Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of such shares shall be the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Rate by the number of shares of Series I Preferred Stock being converted. Initially, the Series I Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,666,667 shares of common stock.
In the event that the per-share Market Price of the Common Stock over a period of 20 consecutive trading days is equal to at least 130% of the initial conversion price (130% of $0.15), all outstanding shares of Series I Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically into the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series I Preferred Stock are then convertible without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares of Series I Preferred Stock are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent.
