PROFILE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2011
(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Organization and Description of Business

Profile Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in 1986 and commenced operations in fiscal year 1988.  The Company is in the business of providing pipeline inspection services to locate corrosion and other anomalies that require assessment to verify pipeline integrity.  The Company has developed a patented, non-destructive and non-invasive, high speed scanning process that uses electromagnetic waves to inspect remotely buried and above ground, cased and insulated pipelines for corrosion and other anomalies. The Company’s inspection services are available to owners and operators of natural gas and oil pipelines, power plants, refineries, utilities, and other facilities which have cased or insulated pipe. The Company is actively marketing to these sectors.  In conjunction with providing inspection services, the Company continues its research and development of new applications for its patented technology, including inspecting pipes for internal corrosion and other anomalies and direct buried pipes for external corrosion and other anomalies.

Note 2.  Going Concern Uncertainties

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has not generated positive cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $22,249,382 and negative working capital of $1,147,025 as of March 31, 2011.  The Company faces all of the risks common to companies that are actively marketing to customers utilizing a relatively new technology, including under capitalization and uncertainty of funding sources, high expenditure levels, uncertain revenue streams, and difficulties managing growth.  Additionally, the Company has expended a significant amount of cash in developing its technology and patented processes.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management recognizes that in order to meet the Company’s capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing, including seeking industry-partner investment through joint ventures or other possible arrangements, will be necessary.  The Company is evaluating alternative sources of financing to improve its cash position and is undertaking efforts to raise capital.  If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure revenue contracts and generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
 
Note 3.  Presentation of Interim Information

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended June 30, 2011 or any other interim period.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 4.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Estimates
 
 
7

 
 
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies.   Critical accounting policies for the Company include service contract revenue and cost recognition, accounting for research and development costs, accounting for stock-based compensation, and advances. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates.  Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.
 
Fair Value
 
The Company measures fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The Company utilizes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  The Company has no assets or liabilities valued with Level 1 inputs.

Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.  The Company has no assets or liabilities valued with Level 2 inputs. 

Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no assets or liabilities valued with Level 3 inputs. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, advances, accounts payable, and note payable to stockholder approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments and their liquidity. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Service Contract Revenue and Cost Recognition
 
Pursuant to the Company’s service contracts, it has two outputs, inspection of the pipelines (service) and delivery of the final inspection report (product).  The Company offers both a service and a product in a single transaction in which the product (final inspection report) is incidental to the rendering of the inspection services.  The service transaction is based on a pre-determined fixed fee, consisting of:
 
 
·
the pipeline inspection fee,
 
·
reimbursement of costs incurred to mobilize and demobilize field crews and inspection equipment to and from the inspection site,
 
·
proceeds from the sale of permanent connectors, and
 
·
other travel related costs.

The final act (delivery of the inspection report) is not so significant to the entire transaction taken as a whole that performance cannot be considered to have taken place until delivery.  The customer is obligated to fulfill their contractual obligation (via payment) based on the performance of the inspection services.
 
Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue from its service contracts (i.e. pipeline inspections) using the proportional performance method of accounting because performance determines the extent to which the earnings process is complete or virtually complete.  Contract revenue earned is measured based on the number of measurable units of pipelines inspected to the total number of units contracted to be inspected.  Revenue is recognized based on the completion of such measurable units.  The proportional performance method is used to recognize revenue because management considers measurable units of completion to be the best available measure of progress towards the completion of service contracts.  Changes in estimated revenue on service contracts are recognized during the period in which the change in estimate becomes known.
 
 
8

 
 
Cost of revenue includes time incurred and materials used to plan the pipeline inspections, mobilize and demobilize field crews, perform the inspection services, analyze the resulting data and prepare the final inspection report.  Cost of revenue also includes any idle time incurred by personnel scheduled to work on customer contracts. Costs are recognized as incurred as they are not an indicator of the progress towards completion of the pipeline inspection services.
 
Revenue from the sale of permanent connectors is recognized when the permanent connector is both delivered and installed on the pipeline. Cost of revenue related to permanent connectors represents the cost of the parts and components required to build the permanent connectors and the time incurred to build and install the permanent connectors.
 
Anticipated losses on service contracts, if any, are charged to earnings in their entirety as soon as such losses can be estimated.
 
Research and Development

Research and development costs represent costs incurred to develop the Company’s technology, including employee and consultant time and material and equipment expense.  Research and development costs are expensed when incurred, except for nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities which are capitalized and recognized as expense as the related services are performed.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $208,836 and $131,993 in research and development activities.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $377,257 and $471,600 in research and development activities.
 
Stock-based Compensation

The Company measures all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method on the date of grant and recognizes such expense in its financial statements over the requisite service period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant.  The Black-Scholes pricing model requires management to make assumptions regarding the warrant and option lives, expected volatility, risk free interest rates, and forfeitures. See “Note 5. Stock Based Compensation, Stock Options, and Warrants” for additional information on the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.

Advances
 
From time to time, the Company makes advances for expenses incurred by employees. Advances are short-term in nature and applied against the expenses as incurred.
 
Vendor Concentration
 
Consultant Scientist Fees
 
The Company relies on the expertise of two consultant scientists to facilitate the development and testing of the Company’s hardware and software.  These scientists are also instrumental in compiling and assisting in interpreting the data captured during the use of the hardware and software. The loss of the specialized knowledge provided by the scientists could have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to successfully market its hardware and software.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred fees for work performed by the scientists of $43,680 and $93,260. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred fees for work performed by the scientists of $144,044 and $223,865.
 
In addition to the cash fees incurred for work performed by the scientists, on February 24, 2011, the Company granted the scientists stock options to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share, expiring February 23, 2016.  The 50,000 stock options had a fair value at the date of grant of $31,778, which is included in research and development expense in the Company’s Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011.

In addition to the cash fees incurred for work performed by the scientists, on November 19, 2009, the Company granted the scientists stock options to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.34 per share, expiring November 18, 2014.  The 50,000 stock options had a fair value at the date of grant of $42,000, which is included in research and development expense in the Company’s Statements of Operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
 
At March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the Company owed the consultant scientists a total of $71,055 and $81,417, respectively, which is included in accounts payable.
 
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued.  Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable to the Company, it has not identified any standards that it believes merit further discussion.  The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

Stock Option Plans

1999 Stock Plan
 
On November 16, 1998, the stockholders of the Company (“Stockholders”) approved and adopted the 1999 Stock Plan which expired upon adoption of the 2008 Stock Plan (as defined and discussed below).  The 1999 Stock Plan originally provided for the granting of options to purchase a maximum of 500,000 shares of common stock with expiration dates of a maximum of five years from the date of grant.  In November 2006, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) amended, and the Stockholders approved, an increase in the maximum number of shares of common stock available for grant to 3,500,000 and an increase in the period of time for which stock options may be exercisable to ten years from the date of grant.
 
Since the inception of the 1999 Stock Plan, and prior to the amendment approved in November 2006, the Company made various stock option grants that had expiration dates exceeding five years from the date of grant.  These stock option grants were deemed to be granted outside of the 1999 Stock Plan.
 
2008 Stock Plan
 
On July 10, 2008, the Board approved and adopted the 2008 Stock Ownership Incentive Plan (“2008 Stock Plan”) and received Stockholder approval on November 17, 2008. Upon adoption of the 2008 Stock Plan by the Stockholders, the Company cannot grant stock options under the 1999 Stock Plan.

The 2008 Stock Plan is intended to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees and consultants, and to promote the success of the Company’s business. In accordance with the 2008 Stock Plan, the Company may grant stock options to purchase up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock.  The 2008 Plan allows incentive stock options to be granted with an expiration date of a maximum of five years and nonqualified stock options to be granted with an expiration date of a maximum of ten years from the date of grant.
 
The Company measures all stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method on the date of grant and recognizes such expense in its financial statements over the requisite service period.  In determining the grant date fair value of stock options, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make assumptions regarding the option lives, expected volatility, risk free interest rates, and forfeitures, all of which impact the fair value of the option and, ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the life of the option.
 
 
10

 
 
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for a bond with a similar term.  The Company does not anticipate declaring dividends in the foreseeable future.  Volatility is calculated based on the historical weekly closing stock prices for the same period as the expected life of the option.  The Company uses the “simplified” method for determining the expected term of its “plain vanilla” stock options.  The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the portion of stock options that are expected to vest.  Therefore, the Company applies an estimated forfeiture rate that is derived from historical employee termination data and adjusted for expected future employee turnover rates.  To date, the Company has not experienced any forfeitures.  If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by the Company, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.  The Company’s stock price volatility, option lives and expected forfeiture rates involve management’s best estimates at the time of such determination, all of which impact the fair value of the option calculated under the Black-Scholes methodology and, ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the life of the option.

Stock Option Grants on February 24, 2011
 
On February 24, 2011, the Board approved, and the Company granted, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 705,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the 2008 Stock Plan to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The stock options have a grant date of February 24, 2011 and are fully vested upon grant.  The stock options granted to directors, officers, and a certain employee are exercisable until February 23, 2021.  The stock options granted to consultants and a certain employee are exercisable until February 23, 2016.  The exercise price of the stock options granted to affiliates owning or controlling more than ten percent of the Company’s common stock was $1.21, ten percent above the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  The exercise price of the stock options granted to non-affiliates was $1.10, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  On February 24, 2011, the date of grant, the Company recognized $133,230 as research and development expense related to the fair value of 180,000 of the stock options, $375,156 as general and administrative expense related to the fair value of 475,000 of the stock options, and $31,777 as selling expense related to the fair value of 50,000 of the stock options. The fair value of the stock option grants that expire on February 23, 2021 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 99.6%, risk-free interest rate of 2.19%, expected lives of five years, and a 0% dividend yield.  The fair value of the stock option grants that expire on February 23, 2016 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 100.1%, risk-free interest rate of 1.24%, expected lives of 2.5 years, and a 0% dividend yield.

Note 6.  Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. As the Company had a net loss attributable to common stockholders in each of the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same.
 
 
13

 

Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, because their effect would be antidilutive, are stock options and warrants to acquire 8,400,028 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.05 per share.

Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, because their effect would be antidilutive, are stock options and warrants to acquire 12,856,028 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.94 per share.

For all of the periods during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, additional potential dilutive securities that were excluded from the diluted net loss per share computation are the exchange rights discussed in “Note 9. Deferred Wages and Accrued Professional Fees” that could result in options to acquire up to 223,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share at March 31, 2011 and 2010.

For purposes of earnings per share computations, shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of a reporting period are included as outstanding.

Note 7.  Note Payable to Stockholder

In April 2002, the Company issued a non-interest bearing bridge note payable to a former officer of the Company in the amount of $7,500.  The note is payable in full when the Company determines it has sufficient working capital to do so.

Note 8.  Convertible Debt

On June 19, 2003, the Board of Directors approved the offering (the “2003 Offering”) of $1,000,000 in convertible debentures (the “Debentures”).  The Debentures were convertible into that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the amount of the converted indebtedness divided by $0.50 per share.  The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly.  Delinquent interest payments bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The Company was required to redeem each Debenture on the 5th anniversary of the date of the Debenture.  The Company may, in its discretion, redeem any Debenture at any time prior to the mandatory redemption date of the Debenture by providing no less than 60 days’ prior written notice to the holder of the Debenture. Certain events of default will result in the Debentures being redeemable by the Company upon demand of the holder.
 
Upon the purchase of, and for each $0.50 of the Debenture’s principal amount, the Company issued to each investor a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase one (1) share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.  The Warrants are exercisable at any time prior to the 5th anniversary date of the redemption of the Debenture.
 
 
14

 
 
Warrants issued in connection with the 2003 Offering were recorded based on their relative fair value as compared to the fair value of the debt at issuance. The relative fair value of the warrants was recorded as paid-in capital.  The intrinsic value of the Debentures resulted in a beneficial conversion feature, recorded as a discount against the Debentures, which reduced the book value of the convertible debt to not less than zero.  The Company amortized the discount using the effective interest method over the five-year life of the Debentures.
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Board of Directors terminated the 2003 Offering.  As of the closing date of the 2003 Offering, the Company had raised $503,000 from the 2003 Offering.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2010 no investors exercised their conversion right pursuant to the terms of the 2003 Offering.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, two investors exercised their conversion right and converted their Debentures in the aggregate principal amount $35,000, pursuant to the terms of the 2003 Offering.  Accordingly, the investors were issued 70,000 shares of common stock.  The carrying value of the convertible debt was reclassified as equity upon conversion.  Since the Debentures included a beneficial conversion feature at issuance the remaining unamortized discount of $3,690 at the conversion date was recognized as interest expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
 
The Company recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the Debentures and amortization of the convertible debt discount as a result of the conversions discussed above of $0 and $13,641 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010.
 
As of June 30, 2010, all Debentures had been converted to equity.
 
Note 9.  Deferred Wages and Accrued Professional Fees

To reduce cash outflows, certain of the Company’s employees, officers, consultants, and directors have agreed to defer a portion of their salaries and professional fees until the Company has sufficient resources to pay the amounts owed or to exchange such amounts into options as described below.  At March 31, 2011, the Company has accrued $1,206,903 related to the deferred payment of salaries and professional fees of which $862,623 is included under deferred wages and $344,280 in accrued professional fees.  At June 30, 2010, the Company had accrued $1,146,761 related to the deferred payment of salaries and professional fees of which $840,111 is included under deferred wages and $306,650 in accrued professional fees.  On March 18, 2002, the Board approved a conversion right on all deferred wages and accrued professional fees deferred as of March 18, 2002 (the “Conversion Right”).  Pursuant to the Conversion Right, employees, officers, consultants, and directors may elect to convert $1.00 of fees owed to them as of March 18, 2002 for an option to purchase two shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share for a term of five years.   Of the total $1,206,903 and $1,146,761 deferred salaries and accrued professional fees at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, the amount subject to the Conversion Right is $111,500, resulting in the potential issuance of 223,000 options under the terms mentioned above.  No conversions have occurred to date.  At March 18, 2002, there was no intrinsic value associated with these Conversion Rights.  As such, no additional compensation cost was recorded.
 
Note 10.  2009 Private Placement Equity Offering

On April 2, 2009, the Company entered into a private placement offering (the “2009 Offering”) of 1,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share to accredited investors for a total offering price of $1,350,000.  On January 29, 2010, the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Company to extend the termination date of the 2009 Offering and voted to extend the expiration date to April 1, 2010.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company raised gross proceeds of $448,074 and $1,170,884 pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Offering.  Accordingly, the Company issued 497,851 and 1,300,969 shares of common stock during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Offering.

The Company engaged two brokerage firms to help in the fund raising efforts of the 2009 Offering.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreements with the brokerage firms, the Company owed the brokerage firms a ten percent cash commission on all funds that the brokerage firm helped raise.  Accordingly, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred total fees payable to the brokerage firms of $40,307 and $112,588, respectively.
 
 
15

 
 
The 2009 Offering was closed on April 1, 2010.  As of the closing date, the Company had raised gross proceeds of $1,349,564 and issued 1,499,502 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Offering.
 
Note 11.  2010 Private Placement Equity Offering

On December 21, 2010, the Company entered into a private placement offering (the “2010 Offering”) of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at $1.00 per share to accredited investors for a total offering price of $2,000,000.  The 2010 Offering terminated on April 15, 2011.

During both of the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and as of the termination date of the 2010 Offering, the Company received gross proceeds of $135,000 and issued 135,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Offering.

The Company engaged two brokerage firms to help in the fund raising efforts of the 2010 Offering.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreements with the brokerage firms, the Company owed the brokerage firms a ten percent cash commission on all funds that the brokerage firms help raise.  Accordingly, during both of the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred total fees payable to the brokerage firms of $13,500.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
 
The MD&A is based on our 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 and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Background
 
We were incorporated in 1986 under the name “Profile Technologies, Inc.” and commenced operations in fiscal year 1988.  We are in the business of providing pipeline inspection services to locate corrosion and other anomalies that require assessment to verify pipeline integrity.  We have developed a patented, non-destructive and non-invasive, high speed scanning process that uses electromagnetic waves to inspect remotely buried and above ground, cased and insulated pipelines for corrosion and other anomalies. Our inspection services are available to owners and operators of natural gas and oil pipelines, power plants, refineries, utilities, and other facilities which have cased or insulated pipe. We are actively marketing to these sectors.  In conjunction with providing inspection services, we continue our research and development of new applications for our patented technology, including inspecting pipes for internal corrosion and other anomalies and direct buried pipes for external corrosion and other anomalies.

EMW-C External Inspection Process

Our core business is based on the technologies that we have developed and patented for defect inspection of pipelines using electromagnetic waves.  Born from these technologies, we have researched and developed inspection methods that have become commercial or near commercial products and services.

The EMW-C™ inspection process is a non-destructive corrosion inspection method that we patented, for long-range external assessment of cased and insulated pipelines. The technique uses electromagnetic waves to locate and identify corrosion and other anomalous conditions at distances down the length of the pipeline. This non-intrusive and non-destructive method can be performed without disturbing the pipeline casing or removing the protective insulation. After the initial inspection is performed, permanent connectors may be left on the pipeline to allow for repeat and periodic inspections or monitoring. In addition, the EMW-C™ inspection process provides corrosion inspection over long lengths of cased or insulated pipe sections from a single location, as opposed to most other inspection methods, which may only provide for point or localized inspections.

Correlating pipeline corrosion information using our technology requires a combination of state-of-the-art instrumentation plus an understanding of the physical phenomena that are being measured. Management believes that the EMW-C™ measurement and analysis are on the leading edge of inspection technology.

Installation of Permanent Connectors, Inspection of Wax-Filled Cased Pipelines, and Internal Inspection Process

During the beginning of fiscal year 2010, we began selling two additional options with the EMW-C™ inspection service: permanent connectors for recurring inspection and dielectric fill analysis. Adding these two features increases the appeal of the EMW-C™ to the customer.  The permanent connectors are a relatively low cost option which allow for quick re-inspection of the pipeline section at later times without the need for repeat excavation or preparation by the customer.

We also now offer a modification to the EMW-C™ which inspects the condition of wax or dielectric fill in cased pipelines.  The filling of the void between the casing and the pipe with wax as a means of additional corrosion protection (the “wax-fill technology”) has become popular in the oil and gas pipeline industry with the onset of new Federal regulations allowing its use. We have worked closely with key participants in this technology to refine and demonstrate our capability to perform the initial inspection and long-term monitoring of wax-filled pipeline crossings in combination with EMW-C™ permanent connectors.

Capital will be expended to support operations until we can generate sufficient cash flows from operations. In order to do so, we must obtain additional revenue generating contracts for the use of our commercially available EMW-C™ service.
 
As revenue is generated, we will continue to manufacture our EMW-C™ inspection equipment.  We expect that as additional revenue contracts are secured, working capital requirements will increase. We will incur additional expenses as we hire and train field crews and support personnel related to the successful receipt of commercial contracts. Additionally, we anticipate that cash will be used to meet capital expenditure requirements necessary to develop infrastructure to support future growth. In time, and if sales increase, we may consider our position as a service provider and alternatively sell or lease our service to pipeline operators and/or inspection service providers while maintaining the intellectual rights to our technology and equipment.

Results of Operations

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

Revenue
 
Pursuant to our service contracts, we have two outputs, inspection of the pipelines (service) and delivery of the final inspection report (product).  We offer both a service and a product in a single transaction in which the product (final inspection report) is incidental to the rendering of the inspection services.  The service transaction is based on a pre-determined fixed fee, consisting of:
 
 
·
the pipeline inspection fee,
 
·
reimbursement of costs incurred to mobilize and demobilize field crews and inspection equipment to and from the inspection site,
 
·
proceeds from the sale of permanent connectors, and
 
·
other travel related costs.

The final act (delivery of the inspection report) is not so significant to the entire transaction taken as a whole that performance cannot be considered to have taken place until delivery.  The customer is obligated to fulfill their contractual obligation (via payment) based on the performance of the inspection services.
 
Accordingly, we recognize revenue from our service contracts (i.e. pipeline inspections) using the proportional performance method of accounting because performance determines the extent to which the earnings process is complete or virtually complete.  Contract revenue earned is measured based on the number of measurable units of pipelines inspected to the total number of units contracted to be inspected.  Revenue is recognized based on the completion of such measurable units.  The proportional performance method is used to recognize revenue because management considers measurable units of completion to be the best available measure of progress towards the completion of service contracts.  Changes in estimated revenue on service contracts are recognized during the period in which the change in estimate becomes known.   Anticipated losses on service contracts, if any, are charged to earnings in their entirety as soon as such losses can be estimated.
 
Revenue also includes the sale of permanent connectors to the customer for recurring inspections.
 
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0 and $246, respectively.  Revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $40,647 and $114,839, respectively.  There is a direct correlation between the number of pipelines for which inspection is completed and the amount of revenue recognized.
 
Cost of revenue
 
Cost of revenue includes time incurred and materials used to plan the pipeline inspections, mobilize and demobilize field crews, perform the inspection services, analyze the resulting data and prepare the final inspection report.  Cost of revenue also includes the cost of the materials and the time incurred to build and install the permanent connectors as well as any idle time incurred by personnel scheduled to work on customer contracts. Costs are recognized as incurred as they are not an indicator of the progress towards completion of the pipeline inspection services.
 
Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1,162 and $7,453, respectively. During both of the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, there was little to no revenue to offset the costs to mobilize and demobilize field crews for future inspections and amortization of equipment utilized for pipeline inspections.

Cost of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $51,729 and $120,836, respectively, resulting in negative gross margins of 27.3% and 5.2%, respectively.  Fluctuations in gross margin are caused by the unique requirements of each inspection, including location of each pipeline inspection site and time and resources required to prepare the field crews for the inspection, in addition to the cost of mobilizing and demobilizing field crews and equipment to the inspection site.

Research and Development

Research and development expense consists of fees paid to consulting scientists to develop our inspection technologies and related hardware, salary and benefit costs for employees, including stock compensation, supplies and testing equipment utilized for the development of the EMW inspection technologies and other supply and travel expenses incurred pursuant to performing research and development related activities.
 
The increase in research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 is substantially attributable to stock options granted to our consulting scientists and two employees on February 24, 2011, to purchase an aggregate of 180,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share.  The aggregate fair value of these options on the date of grant was $133,230.  Offsetting this increase is a decrease of approximately $46,900 for fees paid to the consulting scientists for research and development related activities.
 
The decrease in research and development expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 is partially due to a decrease of approximately $45,400 for fees paid to the consulting scientists for research and development related activities and a decrease of $39,970 in the aggregate fair value of stock options granted on February 24, 2011 compared to the fair value of stock options granted on November 19, 2009.   We granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 180,000 shares of our common stock to the same two employees and consulting scientists and at the same levels on each of February 24, 2011 and November 19, 2009.  The aggregate fair value of the stock options granted on February 24, 2011 and November 19, 2009 were $133,230 and $173,200, respectively.  The decrease in the fair value is substantially the result of the decline in the fair value of our common stock from November 19, 2009 to February 24, 2011, from $1.34 per share to $1.10 per share, respectively.  Terms of the stock options were otherwise the same for stock options granted on both dates.

Selling Expense
 
Selling expense is primarily comprised of salary and benefit expense for employees who spend time meeting with prospective customers, costs that we incur to provide field demonstrations to prospective customers, including costs incurred by our consulting scientists and other third party consultants, and costs incurred to attend conferences and trade shows.
 
Selling expense increased $27,807 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 substantially due to a stock option granted to an independent consultant (the “Consultant”). We retained the services of the Consultant to assist us in seeking new customer opportunities, managing existing customer relationships, and publicizing our EMW inspection technologies.  On February 24, 2011, we granted the Consultant a stock option to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share.  The aggregate fair value of this stock option on the date of grant was $31,777.  Offsetting this increase was a decrease of approximately $4,000 for fees paid to the consulting scientists for selling related activities and a decrease of approximately $4,800 in travel related expenses.
 
Selling expense increased $3,020 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010, partially due to an increase in services rendered by the Consultant and an increase in the percentage of time that employees spent on selling activities, resulting in increases in expense of approximately $17,100 and $7,800, respectively. As a result of a direct marketing approach that we enacted last year, we continue to utilize the aid of the Consultant to target specific new and existing customers in an effort to further develop sales leads and to secure additional inspection contracts.  Several meetings were held at various customer offices and conferences across the country during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  As a result of these meetings, our travel related expenses increased approximately $22,700 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  Offsetting these increases is a decrease in selling expense due to a reduction in stock-based compensation of $43,223 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  On each of February 24, 2011 and November 19, 2009, we granted a stock option to the Consultant to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at exercise prices of $1.10 per share and $1.34 per share, respectively.  The fair value on the date of grant of each of the stock options granted on February 24, 2011 and November 19, 2009 were $31,777 and $42,000, respectively.  The decrease in the fair value is substantially the result of the decline in the fair value of our common stock from November 19, 2009 to February 24, 2011, from $1.34 per share to $1.10 per share, respectively.  Terms of the stock options were otherwise the same for the stock option granted on both dates.  Additionally, on June 23, 2009, we granted the Consultant a stock option to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.30 per share, subject to certain vesting provisions, which had a grant date fair value of $44,000. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded $33,000 for the amortization of the fair value of this stock option.

 
General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expense consists of costs incurred for professional fees, wages and benefits for the executive team, travel and entertainment, patent filing and maintenance fees, shareholder relations, rent, and other administrative fees such as office supplies, postage and printing costs.

General and administrative expense increased $403,161 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 substantially as a result of stock options granted to directors, executives, employees, and consultants.   On February 24, 2011, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 475,000 shares of our common stock. The exercise price of the stock options granted to affiliates owning or controlling more than ten percent of our common stock was $1.21, ten percent above the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.  The exercise price of the stock options granted to non-affiliates was $1.10, the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.  On February 24, 2011, the date of grant, we recognized $375,156 as general and administrative expense related to the fair value of the 475,000 stock options.  Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense is an increase in legal fees of approximately $28,300 as a result of costs incurred related to the exercise of warrants and the change in SEC legal counsel during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. The change in SEC legal counsel was not the result of any disagreement between management and our former law firm, rather, the managing partner on our account transferred to another law firm and we determined that it was in our best interest to continue that relationship. We also incurred additional legal fees, including those in connection with the review and preparation of our Private Placement Memorandum dated December 21, 2010 (“2010 Offering”). Please refer to “2010 Private Placement Equity Offering” below.

 
21

 
 
General and administrative expense decreased $66,419 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010 partially due to a decrease of $145,944 in the aggregate fair value of stock options granted on February 24, 2011 compared to the fair value of stock options granted on November 19, 2009.   On February 24, 2011 and November 19, 2009, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 475,000 and 510,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, to directors, executives, employees, and consultants.  The aggregate fair value of the stock options granted on February 24, 2011 and November 19, 2009 were $375,156 and $521,100, respectively.  The decrease in the fair value is substantially the result of the decline in the fair value of our common stock from November 19, 2009 to February 24, 2011, from $1.34 per share to $1.10 per share, respectively.  Terms of the stock options were otherwise the same for stock options granted on both dates.
 
Also contributing to the decrease in general and administrative expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was a decrease in patent filing and maintenance fees of approximately $26,800.  Offsetting these decreases in general and administrative expense are increases in legal fees of approximately $70,600 and shareholder relations expense of approximately $19,200.  Legal fees increased as a result of the change in our SEC legal counsel and additional costs incurred pursuant to our 2010 Offering as previously discussed.  Shareholder relations expense increased substantially as a result of fees incurred with regard to the exercise of certain warrants issued in connection with the 2003 Offering and a private placement offering we completed in 2005 (the “Warrants”).  In March 2010, we entered into an agreement with a brokerage firm, whereby the brokerage firm receives 5% of the total value of each investor’s conversion of Warrants exercised as a direct result of the brokerage firm’s contact with such investor.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we received proceeds of $729,914 from the exercise of warrants, of which $578,000 was subject to the aforementioned agreement with the brokerage firm resulting in $28,900 paid to such firm. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we received proceeds of $172,500 from the exercise of warrants, of which $150,000 was subject to the aforementioned agreement with the brokerage firm resulting in $7,500 paid to such firm.

Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 includes $9,951 for the accretion of the discount on the Debentures and $3,690 recorded for the remaining unamortized discount on a Debenture that an investor converted to equity pursuant to the terms of the Debentures.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.  We have incurred cumulative losses of $22,249,382 through March 31, 2011, do not have positive cash flows from operating activities, and had negative working capital of $1,147,025 as of March 31, 2011.  We face all of the risks common to companies that are actively marketing to customers utilizing a relatively new technology, including under capitalization and uncertainty of funding sources, high expenditure levels, uncertain revenue streams, and difficulties managing growth.  Additionally, we have expended a significant amount of cash in developing our technology and patented processes.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Management recognizes that in order to meet our capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing, including seeking industry-partner investment through joint ventures or other possible arrangements, will be necessary.  We are evaluating alternative sources of financing to improve our cash position and are undertaking efforts to raise capital.  If we are unable to raise additional capital or secure revenue contracts and generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our principal source of liquidity is cash in the bank.  At March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $152,313. We have financed our operations primarily from funds received pursuant to the 2007 private placement equity offering completed on August 15, 2008, raising net proceeds of $2,065,864, funds received pursuant to the 2009 Offering (as further described below) completed on April 1, 2010, raising net proceeds of $1,219,108, funds received pursuant to the 2010 Offering (as further described below) completed on April 15, 2011, raising net proceeds of $135,000, and proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and warrants.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,076,228 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $951,517 for the same period in 2010.  The increase of $124,711 in cash used in operating activities is mainly attributable to increases in fees paid to the Consultant (see “Selling Expense” above) and increases in amounts paid for general and administrative expenses, specifically legal fees and shareholder relations (see “General and Administrative Expense” above). Offsetting these increases was a decrease in patent filing and maintenance fees (see “General and Administrative Expense” above).

Net cash provided by investing activities was $0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $13,645 for the same period in 2010.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we purchased contract related equipment of $13,945 for use in the testing of our EMW-C technology and for use in the field during pipeline inspections.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $851,414 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,230,796 for the same period in 2010.   During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we received proceeds of $729,914 from the exercise of warrants and net proceeds of $121,500 pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Offering.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we raised net proceeds of $1,058,296 pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Offering and received proceeds of $172,500 from the exercise of warrants.

Deferred Wages and Accrued Professional Fees

To reduce cash outflows, certain of our employees, officers, consultants, and directors have agreed to defer a portion of their salaries and professional fees until we have sufficient resources to pay the amounts owed or to exchange such amounts into options as described below.  At March 31, 2011, we have accrued $1,206,903 related to the deferred payment of salaries and professional fees of which $862,623 is included under deferred wages and $344,280 in accrued professional fees.  At June 30, 2010, we have accrued $1,146,761 related to the deferred payment of salaries and professional fees of which $840,111 is included under deferred wages and $306,650 in accrued professional fees.  On March 18, 2002, the Board approved a conversion right on all deferred wages and accrued professional fees deferred as of March 18, 2002 (the “Conversion Right”).  Pursuant to the Conversion Right, employees, officers, consultants, and directors may elect to convert $1.00 of fees owed to them as of March 18, 2002 for an option to purchase two shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share for a term of five years.   Of the total $1,206,903 and $1,146,761 deferred salaries and accrued professional fees at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, the amount subject to the Conversion Right is $111,500, resulting in the potential issuance of 223,000 options under the terms mentioned above.  No conversions have occurred to date.  At March 18, 2002, there was no intrinsic value associated with these Conversion Rights.  As such, no additional compensation cost was recorded.
 
2009 Private Placement Equity Offering

On April 2, 2009, we entered into a private placement offering (the “2009 Offering”) of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.90 per share to accredited investors for a total offering price of $1,350,000.  The 2009 Offering terminated on April 1, 2010.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, we raised gross proceeds of $448,074 and $1,170,884, respectively, and issued 497,851 and 1,300,969 shares, respectively, of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Offering.

We engaged two brokerage firms to help in the fund raising efforts of the 2009 Offering.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreements with the brokerage firms, we owed the brokerage firms a ten percent cash commission on all funds that the brokerage firm helped raise.  Accordingly, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, we incurred total fees payable to the brokerage firms of $40,307 and $112,588.
 
As of the termination date of the 2009 Offering, we had raised gross proceeds of $1,349,564 and issued 1,499,502 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Offering.
 
2010 Private Placement Equity Offering

On December 21, 2010, we entered into a private placement offering (the “2010 Offering”) of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share to accredited investors for a total offering price of $2,000,000.  The 2010 Offering terminated on April 15, 2011.

During both of the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and as of the termination date of the 2010 Offering, we received gross proceeds of $135,000 and issued 135,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Offering.

We engaged two brokerage firms to help in the fund raising efforts of the 2010 Offering.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreements with the brokerage firms, we owed the brokerage firms a ten percent cash commission on all funds that the brokerage firms help raise.  Accordingly, during both of the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011, we incurred total fees payable to the brokerage firms of $13,500.

Other Contractual Obligations

Our other contractual obligations consist of commitments under operating leases and repayment of a loan payable to a stockholder.

As of March 31, 2011, we have an outstanding loan payable to a stockholder with a principal amount of $7,500.  The terms of the stockholder note are described under “Note 7.  Note Payable to Stockholder” in the notes to the financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q.

As of March 31, 2011, we have future minimum lease payments of approximately $5,200 under our operating leases which will be incurred through May 31, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to us, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We believe that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our interim principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation 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 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our interim principal financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2011 that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our interim principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On March 25, 2011, the Company was named as a nominal defendant in a purported derivative lawsuit filed by stockholder John DeWees on behalf of the Company in the New York Supreme Court, County of Nassau (Index No. 600153/2011), against our directors and executive officers and our registered broker. Among other things, the suit alleges various breaches of fiduciary and other duties, and seeks recovery of unspecified damages and other relief.  We believe the lawsuit is without merit and are vigorously defending against it. We currently anticipate responding to the complaint on or about May 20, 2011 although this date is subject to change.
