NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1:

ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

OmniComm Systems, Inc. (“OmniComm” or the “Company”) is a healthcare technology company that provides web-based electronic data capture (“EDC”) solutions and related value-added services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, clinical research organizations (“CROs”), and other clinical trial sponsors principally located in the United States and Europe. Our proprietary EDC software applications; TrialMaster®, TrialOne®, eClinical Suite, and Promasys® allow clinical trial sponsors and investigative sites to securely collect, validate, transmit and analyze clinical trial data.

 

Our ability to compete within the EDC industry is predicated on our ability to continue enhancing and broadening the scope of solutions offered through our EDC software and services. Our research and development (“R&D”) efforts are focused on developing new and complementary software solutions, as well as enhancing our existing software solutions through the addition of increased functionality. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 we spent approximately $2,092,125 and $1,718,079, respectively, on R&D activities, which are primarily comprised of salaries to our developers and other R&D personnel and related costs associated with the development of our software products.

 

NOTE 2:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The Company’s accounts include those of all its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are more fully described in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and have been prepared in conformity with (i) accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and (ii) the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The results for the periods indicated are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring adjustments) which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of operating results.

 

The operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year-ended December 31, 2014. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year-ended December 31, 2013.

 

ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Significant estimates incorporated in our financial statements include the recorded allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimate of the appropriate amortization period of our intangible assets, the evaluation of whether our intangible assets have suffered any impairment, the allocation of revenues under multiple-element customer contracts, royalty-based patent liabilities, the value of derivatives associated with debt issued by the Company and the valuation of any corresponding discount to the issuance of our debt. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2013 financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on our net income/(loss) or shareholders’ deficit.

 

foreign currency translation

 

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements. The reporting currency for the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries, OmniComm Europe GmbH in Germany, OmniComm Spain S.L. in Spain and OmniComm Promasys B.V. in the Netherlands is the Euro. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary OmniComm Ltd., in the United Kingdom, is the British Pound Sterling. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated using an average rate of exchange during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are primarily related to intercompany accounts that have been determined to be temporary in nature and accordingly, are recorded directly to the statement of operations. We record translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. We recorded translation losses of $110,839 and $30,485 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 respectively.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY

 

The Company derives revenues from software licenses and services of its EDC products and services which can be purchased on a stand-alone basis. License revenues are derived principally from the sale of term licenses for the following software products offered by the Company: TrialMaster, TrialOne, eClinical Suite and Promasys (the “EDC Software”). Service revenues are derived principally from the Company's delivery of the hosted solutions of its TrialMaster and eClinical Suite software products, and consulting services and customer support, including training, for all of the Company's products.

 

The Company recognizes revenues when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (3) the collection of fees is probable; and (4) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.

 

The Company operates in one reportable segment which is the delivery of EDC Software and services to clinical trial sponsors. The Company segregates its revenues based on the activity cycle used to generate its revenues. Accordingly, revenues are currently generated through four main activities, including hosted applications, licensing, professional services and maintenance-related services.

 

Hosted Application Revenues

 

The Company offers its TrialMaster and eClinical Suite software products as hosted application solutions delivered through a standard web-browser, with customer support and training services. The Company's TrialOne and Promasys solutions are presently available on a licensed basis. To date, hosted applications revenues have been primarily related to TrialMaster and eClinical Suite.

 

Revenues resulting from TrialMaster and eClinical Suite application hosting services consist of three components of services for each clinical trial. The first component is comprised of application set up, including design of electronic case report forms and edit checks, installation and server configuration of the system. The second component involves application hosting and related support services as well as billable change orders which consist of amounts billed to customers for functionality changes made. The third component involves services required to close out, or lock, the database for the clinical trial.

Fees charged and costs incurred for the trial system design, set up and implementation are amortized and recognized ratably over the estimated hosting period. Work performed outside the original scope of work is contracted for separately as an additional fee and is generally recognized ratably over the remaining term of the hosting period. Fees for the first and third stages of the service are typically billed based upon milestones. Revenues earned upon completion of a contractual milestone are deferred and recognized over the estimated remaining hosting period. Fees for application hosting and related services in the second stage are generally billed monthly or quarterly in advance. Revenues resulting from hosting services for the eClinical Suite products consist of installation and server configuration, application hosting and related support services. Services for this offering are generally charged as a fixed fee payable on a quarterly or annual basis. Revenues are recognized ratably over the period of the service.

 

Licensing Revenues

 

The Company's software license revenues are earned from the sale of off-the-shelf software. From time-to-time a client might require significant modification or customization subsequent to delivery to the customer. The Company generally enters into software term licenses for its EDC Software products with its customers for three to five year periods, although customers have entered into both longer and shorter term license agreements. These arrangements typically include multiple elements: software license, consulting services and customer support. The Company bills its customers in accordance with the terms of the underlying contract. Generally, the Company bills license fees in advance for each billing cycle of the license term, which typically is either on a quarterly or annual basis. Payment terms are generally net 30 days.

 

In the past the Company has sold perpetual licenses for EDC Software products in certain situations to existing customers with the option to purchase customer support, and may, in the future, do so for new customers based on customer requirements or market conditions. The Company has established vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for the customer support. Accordingly, license revenues are recognized upon delivery of the software and when all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Customer support revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the underlying support arrangement. The Company generates customer support and maintenance revenues from its perpetual license customer base.

 

Professional Services

 

The Company may also enter into arrangements to provide consulting services separate from a license arrangement. In these situations, revenue is recognized on a time-and-materials basis. Professional services can be deemed to be as essential to the functionality of the software at inception and typically are for initial trial configuration, implementation planning, loading of software, building simple interfaces, running test data and documentation of procedures. Subsequent additions or extensions to license terms do not generally include additional professional services.

 

Pass-through Revenue and Expense

 

The Company accounts for pass-through revenue and expense in accordance with ASC 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations (“ASC 605-45”). In accordance with ASC 605-45 these amounts are recorded as revenue in the statement of operations with a corresponding expense recorded in cost of goods sold. Pass-through revenues and expenses include amounts associated with third-party services provided to our customers by our service and product partners. These third-party services are primarily comprised of Interactive Voice and Web Response software services (IVR and IWR), travel and shipping that are incurred on our clients’ behalf.

 

Maintenance Revenues

 

Maintenance includes telephone-based help desk support and software maintenance. The Company generally bundles customer support with the software license for the entire term of the arrangement. As a result, the Company generally recognizes revenues for both maintenance and software licenses ratably over the term of the software license and support arrangement. The Company allocates the revenues recognized for these arrangements to the different elements based on management's estimate of the relative fair value of each element. The Company generally invoices each of the elements based on separately quoted amounts and thus has a fairly accurate estimate of the relative fair values of each of the invoiced revenue elements.

Cost of revenues primarily consists of costs related to hosting, maintaining and supporting the Company’s application suite and delivering professional services and support. These costs include salaries, benefits, and bonuses for the Company’s professional services staff. Cost of revenues also includes outside service provider costs. Cost of revenues is expensed as incurred.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid, short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less. The carrying amount reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

Accounts receivable are judged as to collectability by management and an allowance for bad debts is established as necessary. The allowance is based on an evaluation of the collectability of accounts receivable and prior bad debt experience. The Company had recorded an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable of $142,051 as of September 30, 2014 and $65,341 as of December 31, 2013, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are deposited with major financial institutions and, at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC-insured limits. As of September 30, 2014, $767,672 was deposited in excess of FDIC-insured limits. Management believes the risk in these situations to be minimal.

 

Except as follows, the Company has no significant off-balance-sheet risk or credit risk concentrations. Financial instruments that subject the Company to potential credit risks are principally cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Concentrated credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to creditworthy customers. The Company's customers are principally located in the United States and Europe. The Company is directly affected by the overall financial condition of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries and management believes that credit risk exists and that any credit risk the Company faces has been adequately reserved for as of September 30, 2014. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on accounts past due according to contractual terms and historical collection experience. Actual losses, when incurred, are charged to the allowance. The Company's losses related to collection of accounts receivable have consistently been within management's expectations. As of September 30, 2014, the Company believes no additional credit risk exists beyond the amounts provided for in our allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company evaluates its allowance for uncollectable accounts on a monthly basis based on a specific review of receivable aging and the period that any receivables are beyond the standard payment terms. The Company does not require collateral from its customers in order to mitigate credit risk.

 

One customer accounted for 13% of our revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 or approximately $1,585,000. One customer accounted for 11% of our revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 or approximately $1,221,000. The following table summarizes the number of customers who individually comprise greater than 10% of total revenue and/or total accounts receivable and their aggregate percentage of the Company's total revenue and gross accounts receivable for the periods presented.

The Company serves all of its hosting customers from third-party web hosting facilities located in the United States. The Company does not control the operation of these facilities, and they are vulnerable to damage or interruption. The Company maintains redundant systems that can be used to provide service in the event the third-party web hosting facilities become unavailable, although in such circumstances, the Company's service may be interrupted during the transition.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Additions and betterments are capitalized; maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life, which is 5 years for leasehold improvements, computers, equipment and furniture and 3 years for software. Gains or losses on disposal are charged to operations.

 

ASSET IMPAIRMENT

 

Acquisitions and Intangible Assets 

 

We account for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and ASC 350, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). The acquisition method of accounting requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values on the date of a business acquisition. Our consolidated financial statements and results of operations reflect an acquired business from the completion date of an acquisition.

 

The judgments that we make in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact net income in periods following an asset acquisition. We generally use either the income, cost or market approach to aid in our conclusions of such fair values and asset lives. The income approach presumes that the value of an asset can be estimated by the net economic benefit to be received over the life of the asset, discounted to present value. The cost approach presumes that an investor would pay no more for an asset than its replacement or reproduction cost. The market approach estimates value based on what other participants in the market have paid for reasonably similar assets. Although each valuation approach is considered in valuing the assets acquired, the approach ultimately selected is based on the characteristics of the asset and the availability of information.

 

Long-lived Assets 

 

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether an impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount and the asset’s residual value, if any. In turn, measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of fair value, which is based on the best information available. We use quoted market prices when available and independent appraisals and management estimates of future operating cash flows, as appropriate, to determine fair value.

 

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

OmniComm’s capital structure includes the use of warrants and convertible debt features that are classified as derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires that changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments with no hedging designation be recognized as gains/(losses) in the earnings statement. The fair value measurement is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

 

DEFERRED REVENUE

 

Deferred revenue represents cash advances and amounts in accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date received in excess of revenue earned on on-going contracts. Payment terms vary with each contract but may include an initial payment at the time the contract is executed, with future payments dependent upon the completion of certain contract phases or targeted milestones. In the event of contract cancellation, the Company is generally entitled to payment for all work performed through the point of cancellation. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $8,232,798 in deferred revenues relating to contracts for services to be performed over periods ranging from one month to 6.5 years. The Company had $5,702,672 in deferred revenues that are expected to be recognized in the next twelve fiscal months.

ADVERTISING

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $338,486 and $175,095 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively and are included under selling, general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

 

Software development costs are included in R&D and are expensed as incurred. ASC 985-20, Software Industry Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased or Marketed (“ASC 985-20”), requires the capitalization of certain development costs of software to be sold once technological feasibility is established, which the Company defines as completion to the point of marketability. The capitalized cost is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been immaterial. Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs under ASC 985-20. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 we spent approximately $2,092,125 and $1,718,079 respectively, on R&D activities, which include costs associated with the development of our software products and services for our clients’ projects and which are primarily comprised of salaries and related expenses for our software developers and consulting fees paid to third-party consultants. R&D costs are primarily included under Salaries, benefits and related taxes in our Statement of Operations.

 

EMPLOYEE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

 

The OmniComm Systems, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) was approved at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders on July 10, 2009. The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 7,500,000 shares to employees, directors and key consultants. The predecessor plan, the OmniComm Systems, Inc., 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1998 Plan”) expired on December 31, 2008. The 1998 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 12,500,000 shares in accordance with the terms of the 1998 Plan document. Each plan is more fully described in “Note 14, Employee Equity Incentive Plans”. The Company accounts for its employee equity incentive plans under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.

 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company currently uses the Black Scholes option pricing model to determine grant date fair value.

 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The Company accounts for Earnings per Share using ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Unlike diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 has as its basic objective the recognition of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities based upon all events that have been recognized in the financial statements as measured by the provisions of the enacted tax laws.

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the estimated amount to be realized. Income tax expense represents the tax payable for the current period and the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

During the first nine months of 2014, we adopted the following new accounting pronouncements:

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”, (“ASU No. 2013-11”). This ASU amends ASC 740, Income Taxes, to require that an unrecognized tax benefit be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward; to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward does not exist at the reporting date, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Our adoption of this standard on January 1, 2014 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use and the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to evaluate, in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We believe the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting standards-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We regularly review all new pronouncements to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements.

 

NOTE 3:

GOING CONCERN

 

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations and have utilized debt and equity financings to help provide for our working capital, capital expenditure and R&D needs. We will continue to require substantial funds to continue our R&D activities and to market, sell and commercialize our technology. We may need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our future operations. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the following: problems, delays, expenses and complications frequently encountered by companies developing and commercializing new technologies; the progress of our R&D activities; the rate of technological advances; determinations as to the commercial potential of our technology under development; the status of competitive technology; the establishment of collaborative relationships; the success of our sales and marketing programs; and other changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions in our planned business.

 

Estimates about the adequacy of funding for our activities are based upon certain assumptions, including assumptions that the R&D programs relating to our technology can be conducted at projected costs and that progress towards the commercialization of our technology will be timely and successful. There can be no assurance that changes in our R&D plans, acquisitions or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures.

To satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek additional financing through debt and equity financings. There can be no assurance that any such funding will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research and product development and marketing programs. If we are successful in obtaining additional financings, the terms of such financings may have the effect of diluting or adversely affecting the holdings or the rights of the holders of our common and preferred stock or result in increased interest expense in future periods.

 

The ability of the Company to continue in existence is dependent on its having sufficient financial resources to bring products and services to market for marketplace acceptance. As a result of our historical operating losses, negative cash flows and accumulated deficits for the period ending September 30, 2014 there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4:

EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings/(loss) per share were calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 90,417,480 and 87,515,641 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Antidilutive shares of 81,482,435 and 79,502,620 have been omitted from the calculation of dilutive earnings/(loss) per share for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, as the shares were antidilutive. Provided below is the reconciliation between numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per shares. There were no differences between basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. The table below provides a reconciliation of anti-dilutive securities outstanding as of September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

On January 1, 2013, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $529,000 and warrants to purchase 2,116,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share with an expiration date of January 31, 2016 to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Cornelis F. Wit, in exchange for accrued interest in the amount of $529,000. The note carries an interest rate of 12% per annum and is due on January 1, 2016.

 

This issuance caused us to calculate and record a derivative liability for the warrant liability. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model. A value of $400,141 was calculated and allocated to the warrants and recorded as a liability to the issuance of the note payable. As a result of the liability we recorded a discount to the note payable. The carrying amount of the note at the time of issuance was therefore $128,859. The warrant liability (discount) will be amortized over the 36 month duration of the note payable. The Company will continue to perform a fair value calculation periodically on the warrant liability and accordingly the warrant liability is increased or decreased based on the fair value calculation. The resulting increase or decrease is reflected in operations as an unrealized gain or loss on changes in derivative liabilities.

The expiration date of the warrants associated with the promissory note was also extended to March 31, 2016.

 

On January 1, 2014, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $980,000 and warrants to purchase 3,920,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share with an expiration date of April 1, 2017 to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Cornelis F. Wit, in exchange for accrued interest in the amount of $980,000. The note carries an interest rate of 12% per annum and is due on April 1, 2017.

 

This issuance caused us to calculate and record a derivative liability for the warrant liability. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model. A value of $628,086 was calculated and allocated to the warrants and recorded as a liability to the issuance of the note payable. As a result of the liability we recorded a discount to the note payable. The carrying amount of the note at the time of issuance was therefore $351,914. The warrant liability (discount) will be amortized over the 39 month duration of the note payable. The Company will continue to perform a fair value calculation periodically on the warrant liability and accordingly the warrant liability is increased or decreased based on the fair value calculation. The resulting increase or decrease is reflected in operations as an unrealized gain or loss on changes in derivative liabilities.

 

On April 4, 2014 the Company issued a promissory note payable to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Cornelis F. Wit, in the amount of $1,600,000 in exchange for an existing promissory note in the same amount. The promissory note carries an interest rate of 12% and has a maturity date of April 1, 2017.

 

On April 4, 2014 the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $120,000 and paid $3,424 in principal in exchange for an existing promissory note in the amount of $123,424. The promissory note carries an interest rate of 10% and has a maturity date of April 1, 2017.

 

On April 4, 2014 the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $45,000 in exchange for an existing promissory note in the same amount. The promissory note carries an interest rate of 12% and has a maturity date of April 1, 2017.

 

On April 4, 2014 the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $137,500 in exchange for an existing promissory note in the same amount. The promissory note carries an interest rate of 12% and has a maturity date of April 1, 2017.

NOTE 10:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The Company measures the fair value of its assets and liabilities under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but its provisions apply to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement.

 

ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820 requires the Company to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:

    

 

  Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
     
 

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs; and

 

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities.

 

 The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

 

A.

Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities

 

 

B.

Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and excess earnings method

 

 

C.

Cost approach - Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost)

 

The Company also adopted the provisions of ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”). ASC 825 allows companies to choose to measure eligible assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in value recognized in earnings. Fair value treatment may be elected either upon initial recognition of an eligible asset or liability or, for an existing asset or liability, if an event triggers a new basis of accounting. The Company did not elect to re-measure any of its existing financial assets or liabilities under the provisions of this Statement. The Company elected the fair value option for the issuance of warrants associated with the new promissory notes issued in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013.

 

The Company’s financial assets or liabilities subject to ASC 820 as of September 30, 2014 include the conversion feature and warrant liability associated with convertible debentures issued during fiscal 2008 and 2009 and the warrants issued during 2011, 2013 and 2014 that are associated with notes payable that were issued to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Cornelis F. Wit. The conversion feature and warrants were deemed to be derivatives (the “Derivative Instruments”) since a fixed conversion price cannot be determined for either of the Derivative Instruments due to anti-dilution provisions embedded in the offering documents for the convertible debentures. The derivative instruments were not issued for risk management purposes and as such are not designated as hedging instruments under the provisions of ASC 815, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. See Note 9 – Convertible Notes Payable.

(3) The fair value of the acquired assets was estimated using the Income Approach with a discounted cash flow valuation methodology applied.

(4) The acquired Promasys B.V. software code, customer list and URLs/website are not measured on a recurring basis since their initial fair value has been deemed to have a finite life and is being amortized periodically. Instead the Company performs an impairment analysis on a quarterly basis in order to determine whether the carrying value of the assets reflects the fair value of the assets in a market based transaction.

  

 

Other identifiable intangible assets, which are subject to amortization, are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 15 years. The Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Asset subsection of ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment requires us to test the recoverability of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets with definite lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In testing for potential impairment, if the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows, we must then determine the amount by which the fair value of those assets exceeds the carrying value and determine the amount of impairment, if any.

 

The Company’s goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Goodwill

Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets are also reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that amounts may not be recoverable. If the testing performed indicates that impairment has occurred, the Company will record a noncash impairment charge for the difference between the carrying amount of the goodwill or other intangible assets and the implied fair value of the goodwill or other intangible assets in the period the determination is made. The $57,169 change in the value of Goodwill during the 9 month period ended September 30, 2014 is the result of exchange rate variance.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, of which 5,000,000 shares have been designated as 5% Series A Preferred Stock, 230,000 shares have been designated as Series B Preferred Stock, 747,500 shares have been designated as Series C Preferred Stock and 250,000 shares have been designated as Series D Preferred Stock.

 

As of September 30, 2014 we had the following outstanding securities:     

 

  o 91,504,659 shares of common stock issued and outstanding; 
  o 48,463,517 warrants issued and outstanding to purchase shares of our common stock; 
  o 4,125,224 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding;

Common Stock

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of our voting securities do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the Board of Directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to the preferences of the Series A Preferred Stockholders, each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder to participate in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.

 

Holders of common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions for the common stock. The rights of the holders of common stock are subject to any rights that may be fixed for holders of preferred stock, when and if any preferred stock is outstanding. All outstanding shares of common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

On July31, 2014, we issued 1,400,000 restricted shares of our common stock to our senior management team and our Board of Directors under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan of OmniComm Systems, Inc. (the “2009 Plan”). The restrictions on the shares lapse ratably over a 3 year period. The 2009 Plan is more fully described in “Note 14, Employee Equity Incentive Plans”. 

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Board of Directors, without further stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock in one or more series from time to time and fix or alter the designations, relative rights, priorities, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of each series. In addition, the Board of Directors may fix and determine all privileges and rights of the authorized preferred stock series including:

 

 

dividend and liquidation preferences;

 

o

voting rights;

 

o

conversion privileges; and 

 

o

redemption terms. 

 

Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock which ranks senior to our common stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation. In addition, our Board of Directors can fix limitations and restrictions, if any, upon the payment of dividends on our common stock to be effective while any shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

EMPLOYEE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

 

Stock Option Plan

 

Description of 2009 Equity Incentive Plan

 

In 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders approved the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan of OmniComm Systems, Inc. (the “2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan provides for granting Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Phantom Stock Unit Awards and Performance Share Units. Pursuant to the 2009 Plan, 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for issuance.

 

The maximum term for any option grant under the 2009 Plan is ten years from the date of the grant; however, options granted under the 2009 Plan will generally expire five years from the date of grant for most employees, officers and directors of the Company. Options granted to employees generally vest either upon grant or in two installments. The first vesting, which is equal to 50% of the granted stock options, occurs upon completion of one full year of employment from the date of grant and the second vesting occurs on the second anniversary of the date of grant. The vesting period typically begins on the date of hire for new employees and on the date of grant for existing employees. The restrictions on restricted shares granted to employees generally lapse in three equal annual installments on the anniversary of the date of grant.  Any unvested stock options or restricted shares with restrictions that have not lapsed that are granted under the 2009 Plan are forfeited and expire upon termination of employment.

 

As of September 30, 2014, there were 3,902,500 outstanding options and 2,625,000 restricted stock shares that have been granted under the 2009 Plan. At September 30, 2014, there were 972,500 shares available for grant as options or other forms of share-based compensation under the 2009 Plan.

 

Description of 1998 Stock Incentive Plan

 

In 1998, the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders approved the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan of OmniComm Systems, Inc. (the “1998 Plan”). The 1998 Plan provides for granting Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Phantom Stock Unit Awards and Performance Share Units. Pursuant to the 1998 Plan, 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized for issuance. The 1998 Plan expired as of December 31, 2008. As of September 30, 2014, there were 779,000 outstanding options that have been granted under the 1998 Plan.

The weighted average fair value (per share) of options granted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 was $0.16 and $0.17 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. The Black Scholes option-pricing model was utilized to calculate these values.

 

Basis for Fair Value Estimate of Share-Based Payments

 

Based on analysis of its historical volatility, the Company expects that the future volatility of its share price is likely to be similar to the historical volatility the Company experienced since the Company’s commercialization activities were initiated during the second half of 2000. The Company used a volatility calculation utilizing the Company’s own historical volatility to estimate its future volatility for purposes of valuing the share-based payments that have been granted. Actual volatility, and future changes in estimated volatility, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates.

 

The Company utilizes the historical data available regarding employee and director exercise activity to calculate an expected life of the options. The table below presents the weighted average expected life in years of options granted under the Plan as described above. The risk-free rate of the stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, which corresponds with the expected term of the option granted.

 

Below are the assumptions for the fair value of share-based payments for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

General 

 

The following information should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein and other information set forth in this report.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not historical fact are "forward-looking statements". These statements can often be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "estimate", "project", "believe", "expect", "may", "will", "should", "intends", or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. We wish to caution the reader that these forward-looking statements, contained in this Form 10-Q regarding matters that are not historical facts, are only predictions. No assurance can be given that plans for the future will be consummated or that the future results indicated, whether expressed or implied, will be achieved. While sometimes presented with numerical specificity, these plans and projections and other forward-looking statements are based upon a variety of assumptions, which we consider reasonable, but which nevertheless may not be realized. Because of the number and range of the assumptions underlying our projections and forward-looking statements, many of which are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are beyond our reasonable control, some of the assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur subsequent to the date of this Form 10-Q. Therefore, our actual experience and results achieved during the period covered by any particular projections or forward-looking statements may differ substantially from those projected.

Overview

 

We are a healthcare technology company that provides web-based electronic data capture (“EDC”) solutions and related value-added services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, clinical research organizations (“CROs”), and other clinical trial sponsors worldwide. Our proprietary EDC software applications: TrialMaster®; TrialOne®; eClinical Suite and Promasys® (the “eClinical Software Products”), allow clinical trial sponsors and investigative sites to securely collect, validate, transmit and analyze clinical trial data.

 

In 2014, the primary focus of our strategy includes:

 

 

Increasing our penetration of the Phase I trial market with our dedicated Phase I solution, TrialOne;

  Stimulating demand by providing clinical trial sponsors with high value eClinical applications and services;
  Expanding our penetration of the large pharmaceutical sponsor market;
  Broadening our suite of services and software applications on an organic R&D basis and on a selective basis via the acquisition or licensing of complementary solutions;
  Expanding our business development efforts in Europe to capitalize on our operational and clinical capabilities vis-à-vis our competition in that geographic market;
  Providing our services to small and midsize pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device companies and CROs; and
  Emphasizing our low operating costs.

 

Our operating focus is first, to increase our sales and marketing capabilities and penetration rate and secondly, to continue developing and improving our software solutions and services to ensure our services and products remain an attractive, high-value EDC choice.  During 2013 and the first nine months of 2014, we increased our marketing and sales efforts and expanded the scope of our CRO Preferred Program in order to increase our penetration of the domestic CRO market.  CROs are organizations that provide support and services to pharmaceutical, biotech, medical devices and other clinical trial sponsors. CROs can range from small specialty niche service providers to very large global service providers. According to a Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development study published in late 2012, the overall US market for the 15 highest CRO-concentration geographic areas is estimated at between $32.5 and $39.5 billion. A single CRO could be managing clinical trials for one or more trial sponsors. Our CRO Preferred Program is designed to help the CRO service their existing clients and win new business. By building our relationship with the CRO, we gain access to trial sponsors that we might not be able to reach through other sales channels. The CRO Preferred Program offers our suite of EDC solutions to the CROs with a number of advantages including fixed pricing with no upfront fees, product demonstration support to trial sponsors, sales support, and integrated eLearning. We will seek to expand the scope of our sales and marketing efforts both domestically and in Europe during the remainder of 2014.

Our ability to compete within the EDC and eClinical industries is predicated on our ability to continue enhancing and broadening the scope of solutions we offer. Our R&D efforts are focused on developing new, complementary software solutions, as well as enhancing our existing software solutions through the addition of increased functionality. We spent approximately $2,092,125 and $1,718,079 on R&D activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.  The majority of these expenses represent salaries and related benefits to our developers which include the costs associated with the continued development of our EDC software applications to meet current customer requirements and with our efforts at enhancing our suite of products by incorporating new features and services we believe will improve the products and consequently improve our market position. As our industry matures a critical success factor will be the ability of eClinical service providers to offer robust, end-to-end solutions than can either provide a comprehensive eClinical solution for our clients or that will allow us the ability to seamlessly integrate with complementary partnered products and services.  Our R&D team is comprised of software programmers, engineers and related support personnel. 

 

Our selling efforts include marketing our products to several Fortune 1000 pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers and several of the largest CROs. We have experienced success in broadening our client roster over the past several quarters, via both organic growth and through acquisitions. Continued success in broadening our existing client relationships and forging new relationships should provide us the opportunity to limit our need for funding our operations via debt and equity capital. Continuing to obtain contracts with clients of this size and reputation will also increase the credibility of the Company to the clinical trial market.  We believe that strengthening our reputation and broadening the scope of our brand recognition will serve to improve the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts.

 

Our business development focus continues to include increasing our penetration of all phases of the clinical trial market with a particular emphasis on becoming the market leader in Phase I EDC services. We believe this market is an operating and strategic strength of the Company due to the inherent flexibility of our solutions including the solutions provided by our TrialOne products and services. We believe we have the ability to produce trials more quickly and economically than our competitors for this specialized and large market. During 2013 and the first nine months of 2014 we experienced positive strides towards achieving this goal.  We successfully increased the number of clients utilizing our software on a licensed basis as well as increasing the scope of licenses existing clients had deployed in our eClinical and TrialMaster product lines.  In the first nine months of 2014 we added fifteen new clients to our base of installed licenses and fourteen existing clients expanded their licenses.  We expect to experience continued success in penetrating the market for larger pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device clinical trial sponsors as we continue expanding our marketing and sales efforts during the remainder of 2014 and into 2015.

 

Our clients are able to partially or completely license our EDC solutions. The licensing business model provides our clients with a more cost effective means of deploying our EDC solutions on a large-scale basis. Our licensed products, falling under the auspices of either a Tech Transition (partial transfer with some services performed by OmniComm) or Tech Transfer, allows us to broaden our potential client base, provides us with a high-margin revenue source and affords us the ability to improve our competitive position within the EDC industry.  Additionally, we continue to focus on adding CROs as strategic and marketing partners. These relationships provide marketing leverage in the form of joint marketing and sales efforts and provide an installed base of trained users for our EDC and eClinical software applications. This installed base of users increases our ability to provide rapidly developed, cost effective solutions for our clients.  Additionally, we believe we have established an effective presence in the European clinical trial market and will seek to expand the scope of our sales and marketing operations there.  In 2013 we expanded our presence in Europe with the acquisition of Promasys B.V. Our acquisition of Promasys B.V., which is located in the Netherlands, afforded us the opportunity to expand our product line. Promasys’ EDC solution is focused on academic and investigator initiated trials. It provides these unique users with a robust, feature rich solution that is quickly deployed and easy to operate. The European market accounted for approximately 15% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

We feel that the momentum established from new client acquisitions and our ability to retain clients for repeat engagements provide a good operating base from which to build during the remainder of 2014.  We increased the marketing and business development budget for our TrialOne product during 2013 and the first nine months of 2014 as we place increased emphasis on increasing our penetration of the Phase I market both in the U.S. and in Europe. We believe that segment of the EDC market is the least penetrated and allows for the greatest potential increases in market share and in sales volumes.  We expect to continue increasing the level of resources deployed in our sales and marketing efforts through the addition of sales personnel and by increasing the number of industry tradeshows and conferences that we attend. We feel that a combination of our existing infrastructure, broadened array of eClinical products and services and increased success in new client acquisition, coupled with our ability to retain our existing clients will allow us to compete effectively within the EDC market.

We recorded revenue of $8,509,671 including $3,363,576 from set-up fees and $1,770,228 from maintenance associated with our TrialMaster suite during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with revenue of $7,269,312 that included $2,584,285 in set-up fees and $2,045,492 in maintenance revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  

 

We recorded $1,618,564 in revenues associated with clients using the eClinical software application suite (“eClinical”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with $2,598,287 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  eClinical revenues are primarily comprised of license subscriptions and revenues associated with our hosting and maintenance services.  

 

We recorded $214,602 in revenues from hosting activities and $124,920 in professional services associated with the eClinical suite during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with $326,692 from hosting activities and $384,606 from professional services for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Generally, these revenues are paid quarterly and are connected to hosting and client support for clients licensing that application. In addition we recorded $1,033,184 in revenues from maintenance relating to eClinical for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $1,450,665 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

We recorded revenue of $990,253 including $366,743 from licensing and $493,235 from professional services associated with clients utilizing our TrialOne EDC software for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with revenue of $1,088,544 including $678,019 from licensing and $382,800 from professional services for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.   We are continuing our efforts at enhancing our sales and marketing campaign for the TrialOne application.  We expect to increase our participation in industry trade shows and conferences and are in the process of expanding our dedicated sales force for the TrialOne software.  TrialOne revenues are comprised of license subscriptions and maintenance services since the software is currently only sold on a technology transfer basis.

 

We recorded revenue of $797,225 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 including $401,412 from licensing and $321,010 from maintenance associated with clients utilizing the Promasys EDC solution that we acquired in the 4th quarter of 2013.

 

Our TrialMaster EDC application has historically been sold on an application service provider (“ASP”) basis that provides EDC and other services such as an enterprise management suite which assists our clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries in accelerating the completion of clinical trials. During 2009 we completed the acquisition of the eResearch EDC Assets and TrialOne and in 2013 we acquired Promasys (collectively the “Acquired Software”).  These software applications have historically been sold on a licensed or technology transfer basis.  As we continue developing our software applications and our client relationships mature, we expect some of our clients to deploy TrialMaster on a licensed, rather than ASP hosted basis. We expect the Acquired Software applications to continue to be sold primarily on a licensed basis.

 

TrialMaster contracts for ASP services provide for pricing that is based on both the size and duration of the clinical trial. Size parameters include the number of case report forms used to collect data and the number of sites utilizing TrialMaster. The client will pay a trial setup fee at the beginning of a project based on the previously mentioned factors and then pay an on-going maintenance fee for the duration of the clinical trial that provides software, network and site support during the trial.

 

Generally, ASP contracts will range in duration from one month to several years. ASP set-up fees are generally recognized in accordance with ASC 605,“Revenue Recognition”, which requires that the revenues be recognized ratably over the life of the contract. ASP maintenance fee revenues are earned and recognized monthly. Costs associated with contract revenues are recognized as incurred.

 

License contracts are typically sold on a subscription basis that takes into account system usage both on a data volume and system user basis.  Pricing includes additional charges for consulting services associated with the installation, validation, training and deployment of our eClinical software and solutions.  Licensed contracts of the eClinical suite have historically been sold both on a term and on a perpetual license basis with hosting and maintenance charges being paid quarterly.  The Company expects any licenses it sells of its software products to be sold under three to five year term licenses.

 

Our top five customers accounted for approximately 29.5% of our revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and approximately 38.7% of our revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  One customer accounted for approximately 13.3% of our revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.   One customer accounted for approximately 11.1% of our revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The loss of any of these contracts or these customers in the future could adversely affect our results of operations.

Cost of goods sold increased approximately 32.6% or $730,997 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Cost of goods sold were approximately 24.9% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to approximately 20.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Cost of goods sold relates primarily to (i) salaries and related benefits associated with the programmers, developers and systems analysts producing clinical trials on behalf of our clients and (ii) the costs associated with pass-through revenues. Cost of goods sold increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to increases in both of these categories. We added additional headcount in order to properly service both new clients and additional work from existing clients.  The costs associated with the headcount are recognized as incurred, but the revenue from the trials is recognized over the life of the trial. The pass-through revenue and expense primarily relate to specific work being performed for a few clients. At this time we do not expect the volume of the pass-through revenue and expense to grow significantly and therefore we do not expect any significant degradation of our gross margin

 

Overall, total operating expenses increased approximately 24.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in operating expenses is primarily the result of an increase in headcount to support trials from new clients and additional work from existing clients.

 

Salaries and related expenses were our biggest operating expense at 73.1% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 74.3% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Salaries and related expenses increased by 22.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period ended September 30, 2013.  The table below provides a summary of the significant components of salary and related expenses by primary cost category.

We currently employ approximately 61 employees out of our Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Corporate Office (“Corporate Office”), 12 employees out of our New Jersey regional operating office, 14 out-of-state employees, 11 employees out of a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, 20 employees out of a wholly-owned subsidiary in Bonn, Germany, 4 employees out of a wholly-owned subsidiary in Leiden, the Netherlands and 1 employee out of a wholly-owned subsidiary in Spain.  We expect to continue to selectively add experienced sales and marketing personnel in an effort to increase our market penetration, particularly as it relates to the largest pharmaceutical, biotechnology and CRO customers and to continue broadening our client base domestically as well as in Europe.  

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we incurred $122,630 and $94,637, respectively, in salary expense in connection with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments services from employees. This standard requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Rent and related expenses decreased by approximately 0.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The table below details the significant portions of our rent expense.  In particular, the decrease in 2014 is primarily associated with decreases in our Corporate Office, Co-location and disaster recovery facilities and straight line rent expenses offset by increases in our other facilities’ rent expenses.  Our primary data site is located at a Cincinnati Bell owned Co-location facility in Cincinnati, Ohio and we will continue utilizing this facility for the foreseeable future since it is designed to ensure 100% production system up-time and to provide system redundancy. We lease Co-location and disaster recovery space in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida area. This facility provides us with disaster recovery and business continuity services for our operations. This lease expires in April 2016.  We currently lease office space in Bonn, Germany for our European subsidiary, OmniComm Europe, GmbH under a lease that expires in July 2015.  We currently lease office space for a regional operating office in New Jersey under a lease that expires in February 2016.  Our OmniComm Ltd. subsidiary leases office space in Southampton, UK under a lease that expires in September 2017.  Our OmniComm Promasys B.V. subsidiary leases office space in Leiden, the Netherlands under a lease that expires in October 2018.  Our Corporate Office lease expires in September 2016.  The table below provides the significant components of our rent related expenses by location or subsidiary.  Included in rent during the nine months ending September 30, 2014 was a decrease in expense of $8,898 in non-cash, straight line rent recorded to give effect to contractual, inflation-based rent increases in our leases compared to a decrease in expense of $5,691 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2013.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased by $258,431 or approximately 40.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to increases in marketing and insurance expenses offset by a reduction in miscellaneous expenses. SG&A expenses relate primarily to costs incurred in running our offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, Southampton, England, Barcelona, Spain, Bonn, Germany and Leiden, the Netherlands on a day-to-day basis and other costs not directly related to other captioned items in our income statement. SG&A includes the cost of office equipment and supplies, the costs of attending conferences and seminars and other expenses incurred in the normal course of business. In 2013 we spent approximately $226,000 on marketing, sales and advertising. We expect that the 2014 marketing, sales and advertising expenses will be approximately $650,000 as we increase our attendance at tradeshows and our marketing efforts worldwide.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 we recognized $76,634 for bad debt expense as compared to a credit of $4,830 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013.  This increase was primarily the result of an increase in aged receivable balances that required us to increase our reserve in the period. During the remainder of 2014 we will continue to carefully and actively manage our potential exposure to bad debt by closely monitoring our accounts receivable and proactively taking the action necessary to limit our exposure.  We have been very successful in managing and collecting our outstanding accounts receivable.  We believe that our current allowance for uncollectible accounts accurately reflects any accounts which may prove uncollectible during the remainder of fiscal 2014.

 

Interest expense was $1,979,879 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1,858,279 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $121,600.  Interest incurred to related parties was $1,818,911 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $1,750,327 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Included in interest expense is the accretion of discounts recorded related to financial instrument derivatives that were deemed a part of the financings we undertook in fiscal 2008 and 2009 and relating to warrants issued during 2011, 2013 and 2014.  The table below provides detail on the significant components of interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013.

We evaluate the cost of capital available to us in combination with our overall capital structure and the prevailing market conditions in deciding what financing best fulfills our short and long-term capital needs. Given the overall economic climate and in particular the difficulties nano-cap companies have experienced in obtaining financing, we believe the structure and terms of the transactions we entered into during 2013 and 2014 were obtained at the best terms available to the Company.

 

We record unrealized gains/losses related to changes in our derivative liabilities associated with the issuance of convertible debt that occurred during fiscal 2008 and 2009 and warrants associated with promissory notes issued in 2011, 2013 and 2014.  We recorded a net unrealized gain of $4,410,241 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with a net unrealized loss of $2,524,671 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The unrealized gains/losses can be attributed to fair value calculations undertaken periodically on the warrant and conversion feature liabilities recorded by us at the time the convertible debt and promissory notes were issued.  Accordingly the warrant and conversion feature liabilities are increased or decreased based on the fair value calculations made at each balance sheet date.  These non-cash gains and losses have materially impacted our results of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 and can be reasonably anticipated to materially affect our net loss or net income in future periods. The fair value calculations are heavily reliant on the value of our common stock and on the calculated volatility of the price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. Accordingly, significant changes in our stock price will create large unrealized gains and losses on our financial statements. We are, however, unable to estimate the amount of such income/expense in future periods as the income/expense is partly based on the market price of our common stock at the end of a future measurement date. In addition, in the future if we issue securities which are classified as derivatives we will incur expense and income items in future periods. Investors are cautioned to consider the impact of this non-cash accounting treatment on our financial statements.

 

The Company recorded arrearages of $154,272 and $154,272 in its 5% Series A Preferred Stock dividends for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013, respectively. The below table contains the cumulative arrearage for each series of preferred stock.

Overall Revenue increased by $1,647,068 or 47.4%. This increase is primarily the result of increases in software licenses, set-up fees and professional services offset by minor decreases in maintenance and hosting.

 

We recorded revenue of $3,774,206 including $1,419,722 from set-up fees and $981,447 from software license revenues associated with our TrialMaster suite during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared with revenue of $2,467,960 that included $988,990 in set-up fees and $285,527 in software license revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2013.  

 

We recorded $474,841 in revenues associated with clients using the eClinical software application suite (“eClinical”) during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared with $906,747 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  eClinical revenues are primarily comprised of license subscriptions and revenues associated with our hosting and maintenance services.  

 

We recorded $60,551 in revenues from hosting activities and $27,970 in professional services associated with the eClinical suite during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared with $101,650 from hosting activities and $162,270 from professional services activities for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Generally, these revenues are paid quarterly and are connected to hosting and client support for clients licensing that application. In addition we recorded $316,113 in revenues from maintenance relating to eClinical in the three months ending September 30, 2014 as compared to $514,322 for the three months ending September 30, 2013.

 

We recorded revenue of $612,643 including $287,576 from software licensing and $262,755 from professional services associated with clients utilizing our TrialOne EDC software for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared with revenue of $102,914 including $16,291 from software licensing and $61,230 from professional services for the three months ended September 30, 2013.   We are enhancing our efforts at developing our sales and marketing campaign for the TrialOne application.  We expect to increase our participation in industry trade shows and conferences and are in the process of expanding our dedicated sales force for the TrialOne software.  TrialOne revenues are comprised of license subscriptions and maintenance services since the software is currently only sold on a technology transfer basis.

 

We recorded revenue of $262,999 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 including $105,393 from software licensing and $109,948 from maintenance associated with clients utilizing the Promasys EDC solution that we acquired in the 4th quarter of 2013.

 

Our TrialMaster EDC application has historically been sold on an application service provider (“ASP”) basis that provides EDC and other services such as an enterprise management suite which assists our clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries in accelerating the completion of clinical trials. During 2009 we completed the acquisition of the eResearch EDC Assets and TrialOne and in 2013 we acquired Promasys (collectively the “Acquired Software”).  These software applications have historically been sold on a licensed or technology transfer basis.  As we continue developing our software applications and our client relationships mature, we expect some of our clients to deploy TrialMaster on a licensed, rather than ASP hosted basis. We expect the Acquired Software applications to continue to be sold primarily on a licensed basis.

 

TrialMaster contracts for ASP services provide for pricing that is based on both the size and duration of the clinical trial. Size parameters include the number of case report forms used to collect data and the number of sites utilizing TrialMaster. The client will pay a trial setup fee at the beginning of a project based on the previously mentioned factors and then pay an on-going maintenance fee for the duration of the clinical trial that provides software, network and site support during the trial.

 

 
46

 

 

Generally, ASP contracts will range in duration from one month to several years. ASP Setup fees are generally recognized in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”, which requires that the revenues be recognized ratably over the life of the contract. ASP maintenance fee revenues are earned and recognized monthly. Costs associated with contract revenues are recognized as incurred.

 

License contracts are typically sold on a subscription basis that takes into account system usage both on a data volume and system user basis.  Pricing includes additional charges for consulting services associated with the installation, validation, training and deployment of our eClinical software and solutions.  Licensed contracts of the eClinical suite have historically been sold both on a term and on a perpetual license basis with hosting and maintenance charges being paid quarterly.  The Company expects any licenses it sells of its software products to be sold under three to five year term licenses.

 

Our top five customers accounted for approximately 37.4% of our revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and approximately 39.0% of our revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2013.  One customer accounted for approximately 14.2% of our revenues and another accounted for approximately 10.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2014.   One customer accounted for approximately 12.8% of our revenues the three months ended September 30, 2013. The loss of any of these contracts or these customers in the future could adversely affect our results of operations. 

 

Cost of goods sold increased approximately 59.9% or $426,922 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Cost of goods sold were approximately 22.2% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to approximately 20.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Cost of goods sold relates primarily to (i) salaries and related benefits associated with the programmers, developers and systems analysts producing clinical trials on behalf of our clients and (ii) the costs associated with pass-through revenues. Cost of goods sold increased during the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to increases in both of these categories. We added additional headcount in order to properly service both new clients and additional work from existing clients.  The costs associated with the headcount are recognized as incurred, but the revenue from the trials is recognized over the life of the trial. The pass-through revenue and expense primarily relate to specific work being performed for a few clients. At this time we do not expect the volume of the pass-through revenue and expense to grow significantly and therefore we do not expect any significant degradation of our gross margin.

 

Overall, total operating expenses increased approximately 29.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in operating expenses is primarily the result of an increase in headcount to support trials from new clients and additional work from existing clients.

 

Salaries and related expenses were our biggest operating expense at 75.0% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 76.1% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Salaries and related expenses increased by 28.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period ended September 30, 2013.  The table below provides a summary of the significant components of salary and related expenses by primary cost category.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and the three months ended September 30, 2013 we incurred $45,090 and $35,486, respectively, in salary expense in connection with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments services from employees. This standard requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Rent and related expenses increased by approximately 10.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The table below details the significant portions of our rent expense.  In particular, the increase in 2014 is primarily associated with an increase in our Co-location and disaster recovery facilities rent expense.  Our primary data site is located at a Cincinnati Bell owned Co-location facility in Cincinnati, Ohio and we will continue utilizing this facility for the foreseeable future since it is designed to ensure 100% production system up-time and to provide system redundancy. We lease Co-location and disaster recovery space in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida area. This facility provides us with disaster recovery and business continuity services for our operations. This lease expires in April 2016.  We currently lease office space in Bonn, Germany for our European subsidiary, OmniComm Europe, GmbH under a lease that expires in July 2015.  We currently lease office space for a regional operating office in New Jersey under a lease that expires in February 2016.  Our OmniComm Ltd. subsidiary leases office space in Southampton, UK under a lease that expires in September 2017.  Our OmniComm Promasys B.V. subsidiary leases office space in Leiden, the Netherlands under a lease that expires in October 2018.  Our Corporate Office lease expires in September 2016.  The table below provides the significant components of our rent related expenses by location or subsidiary.  Included in rent during the three months ending September 30, 2014 was a decrease in expense of $3,455 in non-cash, straight line rent recorded to give effect to contractual, inflation-based rent increases in our leases compared to a decrease in expense of $1,500 for the three month period ending September 30, 2013.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased by $102,175 or approximately 51.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to an increase in marketing and insurance expenses. SG&A expenses relate primarily to costs incurred in running our offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, Southampton, England, Barcelona, Spain, Bonn, Germany and Leiden, the Netherlands on a day-to-day basis and other costs not directly related to other captioned items in our income statement. SG&A includes the cost of office equipment and supplies, the costs of attending conferences and seminars and other expenses incurred in the normal course of business. In 2013 we spent approximately $226,000 on marketing, sales and advertising. We expect that the 2014 marketing, sales and advertising expenses will be approximately $650,000 as we increase our attendance at tradeshows and our marketing efforts worldwide.

 

During the three month period ended September 30, 2014 we recognized $632 for bad debt expense as compared to $8,191 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013.  This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in aged receivable balances that enabled us to decrease our reserve. During the remainder of 2014 we will continue to carefully and actively manage our potential exposure to bad debt by closely monitoring our accounts receivable and proactively taking the action necessary to limit our exposure.  We have been very successful in managing and collecting our outstanding accounts receivable.  We believe that our current allowance for uncollectible accounts accurately reflects any accounts which may prove uncollectible during the remainder of fiscal 2014.

 

Interest expense was $632,971 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $626,185 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $6,786.  Interest incurred to related parties was $578,735 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $588,425 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Included in interest expense is the accretion of discounts recorded related to financial instrument derivatives that were deemed a part of the financings we undertook in fiscal 2008 and 2009 and relating to warrants issued during 2011, 2013 and 2014.  The table below provides detail on the significant components of interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013.

We evaluate the cost of capital available to us in combination with our overall capital structure and the prevailing market conditions in deciding what financing best fulfills our short and long-term capital needs. Given the overall economic climate and in particular the difficulties nano-cap companies have experienced in obtaining financing, we believe the structure and terms of the transactions we entered into during 2013 and 2014 were obtained at the best terms available to the Company.

We record unrealized gains/losses related to changes in our derivative liabilities associated with the issuance of convertible debt that occurred during fiscal 2008 and 2009 and warrants associated with promissory notes issued in 2011, 2013 and 2014.  We recorded a net unrealized gain of $1,607,670 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared with a net unrealized gain of $2,418,612 during the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The unrealized gains/losses can be attributed to fair value calculations undertaken periodically on the warrant and conversion feature liabilities recorded by us at the time the convertible debt and promissory notes were issued.  Accordingly the warrant and conversion feature liabilities are increased or decreased based on the fair value calculations made at each balance sheet date.  These non-cash gains and losses have materially impacted our results of operations during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 and can be reasonably anticipated to materially affect our net loss or net income in future periods. The fair value calculations are heavily reliant on the value of our common stock and on the calculated volatility of the price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. Accordingly, significant changes in our stock price will create large unrealized gains and losses on our financial statements. We are, however, unable to estimate the amount of such income/expense in future periods as the income/expense is partly based on the market price of our common stock at the end of a future measurement date. In addition, in the future if we issue securities which are classified as derivatives we will incur expense and income items in future periods. Investors are cautioned to consider the impact of this non-cash accounting treatment on our financial statements.

 

The Company recorded arrearages of $51,989 and $51,989 in its 5% Series A Preferred Stock dividends for the three month periods ended September 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its operating, investing and financing needs for cash.   We have historically experienced negative cash flows and have relied on the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities to fund our operations. In addition, we have utilized stock-based compensation as a means of paying for consulting and salary related expenses. At September 30, 2014, we had working capital deficit of approximately $13,946,698.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $67,038 to $1,093,682 at September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily comprised of a net income of $404,914, changes in working capital accounts of $3,042,896 and a decrease from non-cash transactions of $3,589,692. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we had investing activities comprised of net purchases of property and equipment of $67,674. For financing activities, we borrowed $200,000 against our revolving line of credit and paid off $20,925 of promissory notes.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We are not currently bound by any long or short-term agreements for the purchase or lease of capital expenditures. Any amounts expended for capital expenditures would be the result of an increase in the capacity needed to adequately service any increase in our business. To date we have paid for any needed additions to our capital equipment infrastructure from working capital funds and anticipate this being the case in the future.

 

 
51

 

 

Presently, we have approximately $100,000 planned for capital expenditures to further develop our infrastructure to allow for growth in our operations during the remainder of 2014.  We expect to fund these capital expenditure needs through a combination of vendor-provided financing, the use of operating or capital equipment leases and cash provided from operations.

On April 28, 2014, the Company and the lender agreed to extend the maturity date of $100,000 of convertible debentures. The debentures carry an interest rate of 12% and have a maturity date of April 1, 2016. The expiration date of the warrants associated with the debentures was also extended to April 1, 2016.

 

During the next twelve months we expect debt in the aggregate amount of $4,103,562 to mature as follows:  

 

 

$75,000 of 10% convertible notes currently in default and due that are convertible into shares of common stock at the option of the debenture holder at a conversion rate of $1.25 per share;

  $20,000 of 12% promissory notes that mature in December 2014;
  $308,562 of 10% promissory notes that mature in January 2015; and
  $3,700,000 due on our line of credit that matures in December 2014.

 

Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Because of the losses we have experienced from operations we have needed to continue utilizing the proceeds from the issuance of debt and the sale of equity securities to fund our working capital needs. We have used a combination of equity financing, short-term bridge loans and long-term loans to fund our working capital needs. Other than our revenues, current capital and capital we may raise from future debt or equity offerings or short-term bridge loans, we do not have any additional sources of working capital.

 

We may continue to require substantial funds to continue our R&D activities and to market, sell and commercialize our technology. We may need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our future operations. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the problems, delays, expenses and complications frequently encountered by companies developing and commercializing new technologies; the progress of our R&D activities; the rate of technological advances; determinations as to the commercial potential of our technology under development; the status of competitive technology; the establishment of collaborative relationships; the success of our sales and marketing programs; the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing intellectual property rights; and other changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions in our planned business.  Estimates about the adequacy of funding for our activities are based upon certain assumptions, including assumptions that our R&D programs relating to our technology can be conducted at projected costs and that progress towards broader commercialization of our technology will be timely and successful. There can be no assurance that changes in our R&D plans or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures.

 

While we have not sought capital from venture capital or private equity sources we believe that those sources of capital remain available although possibly under terms and conditions that might be disadvantageous to existing investors.

To satisfy our capital requirements, including ongoing future operations, we may seek to raise additional financing through debt and equity financings. There can be no assurance that any such funding will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research and product development programs, and our business operations. If we are successful in obtaining additional financings, the terms of such financings may have the effect of diluting or adversely affecting the holdings or the rights of the holders of our common and preferred stock. Further, there can be no assurance that even if such additional capital is obtained or the planned cost reductions are implemented, that we will achieve positive cash flow or profitability or be able to continue as a business.

 

While several of our directors have historically, either personally or through funds with which they are affiliated, provided substantial capital either in the form of debt or equity financing there can be no assurance that they will continue to provide any such funding to us on favorable terms or at all.

 

Our ability to continue in existence is dependent on our having sufficient financial resources to bring products and services to market. As a result of our historical operating losses, negative cash flows and accumulated deficits for the periods ending September 30, 2014, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our auditors Liggett, Vogt & Webb P.A., included language which qualified their opinion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern in their report dated March 31, 2014 regarding our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Note 2 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.

 

A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: 1) we are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and 2) different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, our Management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time.  Based on a critical assessment of its accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, our Management believes that our condensed consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our Management believes that the following are our critical accounting policies:

 

ASSET IMPAIRMENT

 

Asset Acquisitions and Intangible Assets

 

We account for asset acquisitions in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The acquisition method of accounting requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values on the date of an asset acquisition.

 

The judgments that we make in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact net income in periods following an asset acquisition. We generally use either the income, cost or market approach to aid in our conclusions of such fair values and asset lives. The income approach presumes that the value of an asset can be estimated by the net economic benefit to be received over the life of the asset, discounted to present value. The cost approach presumes that an investor would pay no more for an asset than its replacement or reproduction cost. The market approach estimates value based on what other participants in the market have paid for reasonably similar assets. Although each valuation approach is considered in valuing the assets acquired, the approach ultimately selected is based on the characteristics of the asset and the availability of information.

 

 
55

 

  

Long Lived Assets

 

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether an impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount and the asset’s residual value, if any. In turn, measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of fair value, which is based on the best information available. We use quoted market prices when available and independent appraisals, as appropriate, to determine fair value.

 

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

OmniComm’s capital structure includes the use of warrants and convertible debt features that are classified as derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASC 815 requires that changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments with no hedging designation be recognized as gains/(losses) in the earnings statement. The fair value measurement is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

 

DEFERRED REVENUE

 

Deferred revenue represents cash advances and accounts receivable in excess of revenue earned on on-going contracts.  Payment terms vary with each contract but may include an initial payment at the time the contract is executed, with future payments dependent upon the completion of certain contract phases or targeted milestones.  In the event of contract cancellation, the Company is generally entitled to payment for all work performed through the point of cancellation.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY

 

OmniComm’s revenue model is transaction-based and can be implemented either as an ASP (application service provider) or licensed for implementation by a customer such as a pharmaceutical company.  Revenues are derived from the set-up of clinical trial engagements; licensing arrangements, fees earned for hosting our clients’ data and projects, on-going maintenance fees incurred throughout the duration of an engagement; and fees for report writing and project change orders.  The clinical trials that are conducted using our EDC applications can last from a few months to several years.  Most of the fees associated with our product including post-setup customer support in the form of maintenance charges are recognized ratably over the term of clinical trial projects.  Cost of sales is primarily comprised of programmer salaries and taxes and is expensed as incurred.

 

The Company recognizes revenues, for both financial statement and tax purposes in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 104)” (Codified within Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Revenue Recognition ASC 605) and AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 (SOP 97-2) “Software Revenue Recognition” as amended by SOP 98-9 (Codified within ASC 605.985, Software Industry Revenue Recognition). SAB 104 requires that revenues be recognized ratably over the life of a contract.  The Company will periodically record deferred revenues relating to advance payments in contracts.  Under its licensing arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue pursuant to SOP 97-2.  Under these arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer and/or delivery has occurred; (3) the collection of fees is probable; and (4) the fee is fixed or determinable.  SOP 97-2, as amended, requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements.  We have analyzed each element in our multiple element arrangements and determined that we have sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) to allocate revenues to license updates and product support.  License revenues are recognized on delivery if the other conditions of SOP 97-2 are satisfied.  License updates and product support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. In arrangements where term licenses are bundled with license updates and product support and such revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement, we allocate the revenue to license revenue and to license updates and product support revenue based on the VSOE of fair value for license updates and product support revenue on perpetual licenses of similar products.

 

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company accounts for its employee equity incentive plans under ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.

 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine grant date fair value.

EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

During the first nine months of 2014, we adopted the following new accounting pronouncements:

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”, (“ASU No. 2013-11”). This ASU amends ASC 740, Income Taxes, to require that an unrecognized tax benefit be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward; to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward does not exist at the reporting date, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Our adoption of this standard on January 1, 2014 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use and the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to evaluate, in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We believe the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting standards-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We regularly review all new pronouncements that have been issued since the filing of our Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013 to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, being September 30, 2014, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in  Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) are effective such that the information relating to OmniComm, including our consolidating subsidiaries, required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

However, subsequent to the closing date of our acquisition of Promasys B.V. (“Promasys”), and continuing thereafter, we determined that we incorrectly applied the provisions of Item 9 of Form 8-K and Article 8 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as a result of which, (a) we concluded, incorrectly, that our acquisition of Promasys was not a “significant acquisition” within the meaning of Regulation S-X, and (b) we did not timely file a periodic report containing the audited financial statements, unaudited interim financial statements or pro-forma financial information required under Rules 8-04 and 8-05 of Regulation S-X to be filed in connection with our acquisition of Promasys. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has indicated that a company’s failure to file a report required to be filed under the Exchange Act may be evidence of a weakness in disclosure controls. Moreover, our incorrect application of Item 9 of Form 8-K and Article 8 of Regulation S-X could be indicative of a deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 
57

 

 

We believe that our incorrect application of Item 9 of Form 8-K and Article 8 of Regulation S-X, and the resulting failure to timely file a required report under the Exchange Act, was caused by a lack of full familiarization on the part of our financial officers with the SEC’s accounting rules relating to acquisition transactions. However, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Promasys have been consolidated in our financial statements since the effective date of acquisition, and our late filing of the required audited financial statements, interim financial statements and pro-forma financial statements are not expected to have any impact on our financial statements or results of operations. In order to reduce the likelihood that a similar event will occur in the future, we have taken remedial action including (a) establishing a policy that all proposed acquisitions be discussed with both our SEC counsel and our independent auditors prior to their consummation and (b) devoting resources to bolstering our financial officers’ knowledge of SEC accounting requirements, particularly those associated with acquisition transactions.

 

While we believe the remedial steps we have taken will reduce the likelihood of a similar occurrence in the future, there is no assurance that a significant deficiency or material weakness will not be identified in the future as a result of this or other circumstances.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2014, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with the other risk factors identified in our annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the other filings we make, from time to time, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

We have not filed certain information required to be filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and until we do so, we will not be in compliance with our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.

 

Subsequent to the closing date of our acquisition of Promasys B.V., a privately held Netherlands company (“Promasys”) and continuing until recently, we determined that we incorrectly applied the provisions of Item 9 of Form 8-K and Article 8 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act, as a result of which, (a) we concluded, incorrectly, that our acquisition of Promasys was not a “significant acquisition” within the meaning of Regulation S-X, and (b) we did not timely file a periodic report containing the audited financial statements, unaudited interim financial statements or pro-forma financial information required under Rules 8-04 and 8-05 of Regulation S-X to be filed in connection with our acquisition of Promasys.  We have filed the audited financial statements, not containing the required reconciliation to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 14, 2014 (“Current Report”) and the unaudited interim financial statements and pro-forma financial information, containing the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP prepared by the Company, as exhibits to our amended Current Report filed October 23, 2014; however, after diligent attempts we have not been able to receive the required reconciliation from the auditors of our Dutch subsidiary necessary to enable us to file the audited financial statements containing the required reconciliation. We have submitted a request to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Division of Corporate Finance, Office of Chief Accountant to waive the financial reporting requirement to include the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP in the audited financial statements.

 

The assets, liabilities and results of operations of Promasys have been consolidated in our financial statements since the effective date of acquisition, and our late filing of the required audited financial statements, interim financial statements and pro-forma financial statements are not expected to have any impact on our financial statements or results of operations. However, until such time as we file the audited financial statements containing the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP, (a) we will not be considered in compliance with our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and (b) Form S-8 will not be available to us for the registration or resale of shares issued under our equity compensation plan. Our continued non-compliance with our Exchange Act reporting requirements could subject us to regulatory scrutiny and the imposition of sanctions including the revocation of our registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

 

 
58

 

 

Our failure to properly apply certain financial tests and the resulting failure to file certain information with the SEC may be indicative of weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has indicated that the failure to file a report required to be filed under the Exchange Act may be evidence of a weakness in disclosure controls. Moreover, our incorrect application of Item 9 of Form 8-K and Article 8 of Regulation S-X in connection with our acquisition of Promasys could be indicative of a deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting. In order to reduce the likelihood that a similar event will occur in the future, we have taken remedial action. While we believe the remedial steps we have taken will reduce the likelihood of a similar occurrence in the future, there is no assurance that a significant deficiency or material weakness will not be identified in the future as a result of this or other circumstances.
