HEALTH ENHANCEMENT PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Health Enhancement Products, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”).  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein.  These consolidated financial statements are condensed, and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s  December 31, 2012 consolidated audited financial statements and supplementary data included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2013.


The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, or any other period.


The Company incurred net losses of $927,104 and $1,058,721 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,522,945 and a stockholders’ deficit of $4,877,257 at March 31, 2013.  These factors continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  During the first three months of 2013, the Company raised $500,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of convertible debentures and $35,000 from loans payable - other.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital.


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year and prior period comparative financial statements to conform to the current year and period presentation.  These reclassifications had no material effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.

  

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Health Enhancement Products, Inc. and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, Health Enhancement Corporation and HEPI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.


Accounting Estimates


The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Management uses its best judgment in valuing these estimates and may, as warranted, solicit external professional advice and other assumptions believed to be reasonable.   


Cash and Cash Equivalents


For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. At March 31, 2013, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.



6




Property and Equipment


Property and equipment consists of furniture, office equipment, and leasehold improvements, and are carried at cost less allowances for depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is determined by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally five to seven years.  Repair and maintenance costs that do not improve service potential or extend the economic life of an existing fixed asset are expended as incurred.   


Fair Value Measurements


The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:


Level 1 –

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2 –

Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.


Level 3 –

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.


The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, loans payable, obligations to issue common stock, accrued expenses and customer deposits.  All of these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.


The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts payable, loans payable, obligation to issue common stock and customer deposits all approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.


Deferred Financing Costs


The Company follows authoritative guidance for accounting for financing costs as it relates to convertible debt issuance cost.  These costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt period or until redemption of the convertible debentures.  Amortization of deferred financing costs amounted to $-0- and $4,284 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable.  An impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value, is recognized if the carrying amount exceeds estimated undiscounted future cash flows.


The Company believes its current assumptions and estimates are reasonable and appropriate; however, unanticipated events and changes in market conditions could affect such estimates, resulting in the need for an impairment charge in future periods   During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company decided that the remainder of the cost of the patents related to its former product ProAlgaZyme should be written off in the amount of $6,234. The decision was based on the lack of revenue generated by this product over the course of the prior year or for the foreseeable future.




7




Revenue Recognition


For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 101”). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company ceased the sales of its sole product in the fourth quarter of 2011, and therefore recognized no provision for the three months ended March 31, 2013 or March 31, 2012.


Shipping and Handling Costs


Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, no shipping and handling costs were incurred.


Research and Development


Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company accounts for research and development expenses under two main categories.


·

Research Expenses, consisting of salaries and equipment and related expenses incurred for product research studies conducted primarily within the Company and by Company personnel. Research expenses were approximately $25,000 and $25,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively;

·

Clinical Studies Expenses, consisting of fees, charges, and related expenses incurred in the conduct of clinical studies conducted with Company products by independent external entities. External clinical studies expenses were approximately $104,000 and $77,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


Stock Based Compensation


We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.  The company generally issues grants to its employees, consultants and board members.  At the date of grant, the company determines the fair value of the stock option award and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period.  The fair value of the stock option or warrant award is calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model.


During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, warrants were granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company.  As a result of these grants, the Company recorded compensation expense of $6,037 and $10,722 for these periods, respectively.

 

The fair value of warrants was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:


 

Three Months Ended March 31,

 

2013

 

2012

Expected volatility

114.66% to 131.97%

 

125.11%

Expected dividends

0%

 

0%

Expected term

3 years

 

3 years

Risk free rate

.25% to .27%

 

.333%


The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee warrants have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee options.



8




Loss Per Share


Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted loss per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants and conversions of debentures.  Potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2013, consisted of 22,864,667 common shares from convertible debentures and 15,280,209 common shares from outstanding warrants. Potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2012, consisted of 13,142,445 common shares from convertible debentures and 20,463,430 common shares from outstanding warrants.   Diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.


Advertising / Public Relations Costs


Advertising/Public Relations costs are charged to operations when incurred. These expenses were $7,461 and $9,496 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


Concentrations of Credit Risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents.  The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit of $250,000 at times during the year.  


NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT


Property and equipment at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consists of the following:

The Company’s definite-life intangible assets are amortized, upon being placed in service, over the estimated useful lives of the assets, with no residual value. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $ - 0 - and $242, respectively.   As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s management decided to take an impairment charge of $6,234 representing the unamortized basis of the patents related to, the creation and production of its product, ProAlgaZyme which is no longer producing revenue. The writeoff of the impairment loss has been included in General and Administrative Expenses on the Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013.


NOTE 5 – LOAN PAYABLE


Related Party


During 2012, Christopher Maggiore, a significant shareholder, advanced the Company $15,000.  As of December 31, 2012 this amount was still unpaid.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, Mr. Maggiore advanced the Company an additional $462,000.  As discussed in Note 6, this amount was reclassified as a loan payable to HEP Investments, LLC.  As of March 31, 2013, there was no balance due to Mr. Maggiore.


The balance of $362 as of March 31, 2013, represented working capital advances by the officers of the Company.

On December 2, 2011, the Company and HEP Investments, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (“Lender”), entered into the following documents, effective as of December 1, 2011: (i) a Loan Agreement under which the Lender has agreed to advance up to $2,000,000 to the Company, subject to certain conditions, (ii) a Convertible Secured Promissory Note in the initial principal amount of $600,000 (“Note”) and (iii) (a) a Security Agreement, under which the Company granted the Lender a security interest in all of its assets and (b) an IP security agreement under which the Company and its subsidiaries granted the Lender a security interest in all their respective intellectual properties, including patents, in each case order to secure their respective obligations to the Lender under the Note and related documents.  In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Note.


As of December 5, 2011, the Lender had advanced the Company $600,000, consisting of $500,000 in cash and $100,000 previously advanced by the Lender in connection with a transaction previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 12, 2011.   The Lender has agreed to advance the remaining $1,400,000 in $250,000 increments (final increment of $150,000) upon request of the Company’s CEO, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.  In addition, the Company has agreed to (i) issue the Lender warrants to purchase 1,666,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.12 per share (including a cashless exercise provision), expiring September 30, 2016 and (ii) issue the lender 600,000 shares of its common stock and (iii) enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with respect to all the shares of common stock issuable to the Lender in connection with the Loan transaction, in each case subject to completion of funding of the full $2,000,000 called for by the Loan Agreement.


Amounts advanced under the Note are (i) secured by all the Company’s assets, (ii) convertible into the Company’s restricted common stock at the lesser of $.12 per share or a 25% discount off of the ten day trailing quoted price of the common stock in the over the counter (OTC) market, (iii) bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum and (iv) must be repaid as follows:  accrued interest must be paid on the first and second anniversary of the Note and unpaid principal not previously converted into common stock must be repaid on the second anniversary of the Note December 1, 2013. The Company has also agreed to a specified use of proceeds.  The Note may be prepaid upon sixty days written notice, provided that the Company shall be required to pay a prepayment premium equal to 5% of the amount repaid.

The Company has made certain agreements with the Lender which shall remain in effect as long as any amount is outstanding under the Loan.  These agreements include an agreement not to make any change in the Company’s senior management, without the prior written consent of the Lender. Two representatives of the Lender will have the right to attend Board of Director meetings as non-voting observers.


The Company recorded a debt discount of $500,000 against this transaction.  In addition, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $552,988.  This represents the future value of the stock to be issued under the terms of the convertible debt.  We valued this stock utilizing the Black-Scholes method of valuation using the following assumptions:  volatility 151.45%, annual rate of dividends 0% and a risk free interest rate of .27%.  In addition, the Company has recognized other income of $24,422 representing the change in fair value of this derivative liability.  We marked this derivative liability to fair value at December 31, 2011 utilizing the Black-Scholes method of valuation using the following assumptions:  volatility 151.49%, annual rate of dividends 0%, and a risk free rate of .25%.


During 2012, HEP Investments advanced the Company an additional $582,592 pursuant to its previously disclosed agreement to invest up to $2,000,000 in convertible notes.  


The Company recorded a debt discount in the amount of $500,000 on $500,000 principal, to reflect the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt and fair value of the warrants in accordance with ASC standards (the debt discount calculation was inclusive of investments made in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012). The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature and recorded the amount of $445,147 as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and as an addition to paid-in capital. Additionally, the relative fair value of the warrants ($54,853) was calculated and recorded as a further reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and an addition to additional paid-in capital. These transactions were valued utilizing the Black-Scholes method of valuation relying on the following assumptions: volatility of 140.93%-143.36%, annual rate of dividends 0% and a risk free interest rate of .25%. In connection with the $500,000 in convertible notes, the Company recorded non-cash finance charges of $16,575 during 2012.


On March 18, 2013, the Company was advised of a Participation Agreement between HEP Investments and Christopher Maggiore, a significant shareholder of the Company, whereby Mr. Maggiore has become a member of HEP Investments, LLC. Accordingly, loans made by Mr. Maggiore to the Company aggregating $462,000 ($15,000 at December 31, 2012 and $447,000 during the period January 1, 2013 through March 5, 2013) have been reclassified as loans payable to HEP Investments pursuant to its previously disclosed agreement entered into on December 2, 2011 to invest up to $2,000,000 in convertible notes. Upon this reclassification, HEP Investments has reached a $500,000 threshold and these advances will become convertible debt.  The Company recorded a deferred debt discount in the amount of $377,088 to reflect the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt in accordance with ASC standards (the debt discount calculation was inclusive of investments made in the fourth quarter of 2012). The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature and recorded the amount of $377,088 as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and as an addition to paid-in capital.  This transaction was valued utilizing the Black-Scholes method of valuation relying on the following assumptions:  volatility of 160.96%, annual rate of dividends 0% and a risk free interest rate of .25%.


According to the terms of the agreement, a threshold of $250,000 must be reached.  Until this threshold is reached, the differential as of March 31, 2013 of $236,592 is classified as Loan Payable – Other (Note 5).


Subsequent to the Balance Sheet date, the lender entered into an “Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note” which amended and extended the original Note, and the lender completed the $2,000,000 financing required to trigger the issuance of the contingent 600,000 common stock shares and the 1,666,667 common stock warrants (See Note 12 – Subsequent Events).

Critical Accounting Policies 

 

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and all available information. However, future events are subject to change, and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. US GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including those related to recording various accruals, income taxes, the useful lives of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, and potential losses from contingencies and litigation. We believe the policies discussed below are the most critical to our financial statements because they are affected significantly by management's judgments, assumptions and estimates. 


Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.


Net Sales.  


We had no sales during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.  We implemented a new business model starting in 2012, and expect to derive future income the from licensing and sale of  natural bioactive ingredients derived from algae cultures to much larger, better-financed animal, food, dietary supplement and medical food manufacturers.  The anticipated income streams are to be generated from a) royalties and advances for licensed natural bioactive ingredients, and b) bulk sales of such ingredients. These bulk ingredients will be made by contracted ingredient manufacturers and then sold by us to food, dietary supplement and medical food processors and/or name-brand marketers.  We do not believe it likely that we will have significant sales in 2013.


Cost of Sales.  


We had no cost of sales during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Research and Development Expenses.  


For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred $129,448 on research and development expenses, as compared to $102,050 for the comparable period in 2012.  These expenses are mainly comprised of costs associated with external research.  Our research and development costs will grow as we work to complete the research in the development of natural bioactive compounds for use as dietary supplements and food ingredients, as well as biologics for medicinal and pharmaceutical applications in humans and animals. The Company’s scientific efforts are focused on the metabolic aspects of oxidation and inflammation, with a parallel program to validate and license products for healthy cholesterol balance.


Selling and Marketing Expenses.


We had no selling and marketing expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.


General and Administrative Expenses.


General and administrative expenses were $264,413 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $225,485 for the comparable prior period.  The increase in general and administrative expense during 2013 is due primarily to increased business activity.


Professional and Consulting Expenses.


Professional and consulting expenses were $141,476 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $179,684 for the comparable prior period.  The decrease in professional and consulting expense during 2013 is due primarily to a reduction in of $85,000 in legal fees and an increase in the use of outside business consultants.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report 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.  We have a near term need for additional capital.  For the reasons discussed herein, there is a significant risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern, in which case, you would suffer a total loss of your investment in our company.


As of April 28, 2013, we had a cash balance of approximately $275,000.  We have incurred significant net losses since inception, including a net loss of $927,104 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. We have, since inception, consistently incurred negative cash flow from operations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we incurred negative cash flows from operations of $556,291.  As of March 31, 2013, we had a working capital deficiency of $4,522,945 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,877,257. Although we recently raised a limited amount of capital, we have a near term need for additional capital.


During the three months ended March 31, 2013, our operating activities used $556,291 in cash, an increase of $22,082 from the comparable prior period.  The approximate $22,000 increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable to the following (all of which are approximated): a $153,000 decrease in net loss, offset by $167,000 in non-cash expenses and a $18,000 change (decrease) in accounts payable, offset by a $10,000 change (increase) in accrued liabilities.  


Our financing activities generated $535,000, a $94,000 increase from the comparable prior period. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to a $68,000 increase in proceeds from the issuance of convertible debentures, a decrease of $48,000 in payment of deferred finance costs and other borrowings offset by a decrease of $22,000 decrease in loans payable – other.   


Although we raised a limited amount of capital during 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, we continue to experience a shortage of capital, which is materially and adversely affecting our ability to run our business. As noted above, we have been largely dependent upon external sources for funding. We have in the past had great difficulty in raising capital from external sources.  We will still be reliant upon external financing for the continuation of our research program.  




18




We estimate that we will require approximately $2,500,000 in cash over the next 12 months in order to fund our normal operations and research and development activities. HEP Investments, LLC, our senior secured lender has committed an aggregate of $3,750,000, $2,199,592 of which we have already drawn down, leaving $1,550,408 which is available to be drawn down (See Note 12 – Subsequent Events).   Based on this cash requirement and availability from our senior secured lender, we have a near term need for substantial additional funding.  Historically, we have had great difficulty raising funds from external sources; however, we recently were able to raise capital from outside sources. If we are unable to raise the required funding, we will have to curtail our research and development and other activities, in which case, there could be a material adverse effect on our business.


Significant elements of income or loss not arising from our continuing operations


We do not expect to experience any significant elements of income or loss other than those arising from our continuing operation.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized $138,749 in expense for financial

statement purposes, due to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2013.  We may incur income or expense in future periods arising out of changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities.  


Seasonality


Based on our business model implemented at the beginning of 2013, anticipated income streams are to be generated from a) royalties and advances for licensed natural bioactive ingredients, and b) bulk sales of such ingredients.  We do not anticipate that these will be affected by seasonality.


Staffing


We have conducted all of our activities since inception with a minimum level of qualified staff.  We currently do not expect a significant increase in staff.  


Off-Balance Sheet arrangements


We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that would create contingent or other forms of liability.


Item 4 Controls and Procedures


Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures.


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and we necessarily were required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible changes or additions to our controls and procedures.


As of March 31, 2013, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive/principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive/principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period.


Changes in Internal control Over Financial Reporting.


There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued Convertible debentures in the principal amount of $500,000 (convertible into common stock at $.125 per share), for gross proceeds of $500,000.


We believe that the foregoing transactions were exempt from the registration requirements under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Act”) or Section 4(2) under the Act, based on the following facts: there was no general solicitation, there was a limited number of investors, each of whom was an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Regulation D under the “1933 Act”, as amended) and was (either alone or with his/her purchaser representative) sophisticated about business and financial matters, each such investor had the opportunity to ask questions of our management and to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and all shares issued were subject to restrictions on transfer, so as to take reasonable steps to assure that the purchasers were not underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) under the 1933 Act.


Item 5.  Other Information


From April 1, 2013 through April 25, 2013: 1) we received $25,000 from the Venture Group towards their total funding commitment of $500,000 ($414,000 of gross proceeds have been received to date), 2) received $41,500 from the sale of common stock through the exercise of a warrant, 3) received $408,813 from HEP Investments, for a total of $2,199,592 relating to their additional funding relating of the First Amendment to Loan Agreement under which the Lender has agreed to advance up to a total of $3,750,000.
