Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.      Description of Business

     Profile Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in 1986 and commenced operations in fiscal year 1988. The Company is in the business of inspecting pipelines for corrosion and is in the final stages of researching and developing a patented, non-destructive and non-invasive, high speed scanning process, using electro magnetic waves to remotely inspect buried, encased and insulated pipelines for corrosion.

2.     Basis of Presentation

     The unaudited interim financial statements and related notes of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such instructions. The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including contract revenue recognition and impairment of long-lived assets. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

     The financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006. The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

3.     Liquidity

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred cumulative losses of $13,141,291 through September 30, 2006, and had negative working capital of $603,388 as of September 30, 2006. Additionally, the Company has expended a significant amount of cash in developing its technology and patented processes. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management recognizes that in order to meet the Company’s capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing, including seeking industry-partner investment through joint ventures or other possible arrangements, will be necessary. The Company is evaluating alternative sources of financing to improve its cash position and is undertaking efforts to raise capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure revenue contracts and generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

4.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Cash

     Cash includes highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. On occasion, the Company has amounts deposited with financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The Company has the following financial instruments: cash, accounts payable, notes payable to stockholders, and convertible debt. The carrying value of these instruments, other than the convertible debt, approximates fair value based on their liquidity. The fair value of the convertible debt was determined as the excess of the proceeds over the fair value of the warrants.

6


     Deferred Financing Fees

     The Company records costs incurred related to debt financings as deferred financing fees and amortizes, on a straight-line basis, the costs incurred over the life of the related debt. The amortization is recognized as interest in the financial statements. Upon conversion into equity or extinguishment of the related debt, the Company recognizes any unamortized portion of the deferred financing fees as interest expense.

     Contract Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognizes revenue from service contracts using the percentage of completion method of accounting. Contract revenues earned are measured using either the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs or, when the contract is based on measurable units of completion, revenue is based on the completion of such units. This method is used because management considers total cost or measurable units of completion to be the best available measure of progress on contracts. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used may change in the near term.

     Anticipated losses on contracts, if any, are charged to earnings as soon as such losses can be estimated. Changes in estimated profits on contracts are recognized during the period in which the change in estimate is known.

     Cost of revenues include contract costs incurred to date as well as any idle time incurred by personnel scheduled to work on customer contracts.

     The Company records claims for additional compensation on contracts upon revision of the contract to include the amount to be received for the additional work performed. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs, and depreciation costs. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Service contracts generally extend no more than six months.

     Research and Development

     Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. During the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred $189,489 and $57,100, respectively, on research and development activities.

     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

     The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as equipment and intangibles, for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

      Valuation of Warrants and Options

     The Company estimates the value of warrants and option grants using a Black-Scholes pricing model based on management assumptions regarding the warrant and option lives, expected volatility, and risk free interest rates.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Vendor Concentration

     The Company relies on the expertise of a scientist to facilitate the development and testing of the Company’s hardware and software. The scientist is also instrumental in interpreting the data captured during the testing of the hardware and software. The loss of the specialized knowledge provided by this scientist could have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to reach marketability of its hardware and software. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company incurred cash fees payable to the scientist of approximately $55,400, representing approximately 29% of research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company incurred cash fees payable to the scientist of approximately $26,500, representing approximately 46% of research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005. As of September 30, 2006, the Company owed the scientist approximately $73,500, which is included in accounts payable at September 30, 2006.

     The Company also relies on the computer modeling skills of a consultant to compile and interpret the data captured during the testing of the hardware and software. The loss of the know-how of this consultant could have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to reach marketability of its hardware and software. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company incurred cash fees payable to the consultant of approximately $31,000, which is included in research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

     As partial compensation for services rendered, during the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company granted the consultant a stock option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.05 per share, expiring July 12, 2011. The 100,000 options had a fair value at the date of grant of $89,000, which is included in research and development expenses in the Company’s Statements of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

     Total cash and stock compensation expense incurred for settlement of services rendered by the consultant totaled $120,000 or approximately 63% of research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

     The Company did not incur any fees payable to the consultant during the three months ended September 30, 2005. As of September 30, 2006, the Company owed the consultant approximately $5,700, which is included in accounts payable at September 30, 2006.

5.     Stock Based Compensation

     Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards under the intrinsic value method, which followed the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. The intrinsic value method of accounting resulted in compensation expense for stock options to the extent that the exercise prices were set below the fair market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant.

     As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the Company’s valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period. To date, all stock option grants have been fully vested upon grant.

     The Company did not grant any stock options to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2005 so net loss as reported is the same as the Company’s pro forma net loss as determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). Therefore, no reconciliation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) is required to be presented.

6.     Net Loss Per Share

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

     Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2006, because their effect would be antidilutive, are options and warrants to acquire 12,743,418 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.06 per share. Also excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2006 are 350,000 shares of common stock that may be issued if investors exercise their conversion right under the Debentures related to the 2003 Offering as discussed in Note 8 because their effect would be antidilutive.

     Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2005, because their effect would be antidilutive, are options and warrants to acquire 7,912,618 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.22 per share. Also excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2005 are 446,000 shares of common stock that may be issued if investors exercise their conversion right under the Debentures related to the 2003 Offering as discussed in Note 8 because their effect would be antidilutive.

     For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, additional potential dilutive securities that were excluded from the diluted net loss per share computation are the exchange rights discussed in Note 9 that could result in options to acquire up to 223,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share at September 30, 2006 and 2005.

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

7.     Related Parties

     Notes Payable – Stockholders

     In April 2002, the Company issued a non-interest bearing bridge note payable to an officer of the Company in the amount of $7,500. The note is payable in full when the Company determines it has sufficient working capital to do so. On September 29, 2002, the officer who was owed the $7,500 died.

     The Company entered into various loan agreements with Murphy Evans, President, a director and stockholder of the Company. On March 6, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Loan Amendment and Promissory Note (the “Amended Evans Loan”) between the Company and Murphy Evans. The Amended Evans Loan aggregated all previous debt and superseded and replaced all of the terms of the previous loans with Mr. Evans, including any conversion features. The Amended Evans Loan bore interest on the aggregate principal balance at a rate of 5% per annum, payable on June 30 and December 31 of each year, with the principal balance due and payable in full on December 31, 2003. The Amended Evans Loan was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

     In January 2006, Mr. Evans converted the entire then outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Amended Evans Loan pursuant to the terms of the 2005 Offering as defined below.

     Interest expense related to the Amended Evans Loan was $0 and $8,734 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

     In September 2002, the Company entered into two non-interest bearing bridge loans in the respective principal amounts of $40,000 and $10,000 (the “Stockholder Loans”) payable to two stockholders of the Company. The terms of the Stockholder Loans provide for payment at such time as the Company determines it has sufficient working capital to repay the principal balances of the Stockholder Loans. The Stockholder Loans are convertible into 57,142 and 14,286 equity units, respectively, at any time prior to re-payment. Each equity unit is comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, with a detachable 5-year warrant to purchase one additional share at an exercise price of $1.05 per share. Neither stockholder has converted either Stockholder Loan into equity units.

                                       Total  $          57,500  
 
 

8.      Convertible Debt

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

     Upon the purchase of, and for each $0.50 of the Debenture’s principal amount, the Company issued to each investor a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase one (1) share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The Warrants are exercisable at any time prior to the 5th anniversary date of the redemption of the Debenture.

     Warrants issued in connection with the 2003 Offering were recorded based on their relative fair value as compared to the fair value of the debt at issuance. The relative fair value of the warrants was recorded as paid-in capital. The intrinsic value of the Debentures results in a beneficial conversion feature, recorded as a discount against the Debentures, which reduces the book value of the convertible debt to not less than zero. The Company amortizes the discount using the effective interest method over the five-year life of the Debentures.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Board of Directors terminated the 2003 Offering. As of the closing date of the 2003 Offering, the Company had raised $503,000 from the 2003 Offering.

     During the three months ended September 30, 2005, four investors exercised their conversion right under the terms of the Debentures. Accordingly, the carrying value of the convertible debt was reclassified as equity upon conversion. Since the convertible debt instruments include a beneficial conversion feature, the remaining unamortized discount of approximately $170,000 at the conversion date was recognized as interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2005.

     As of September 30, 2006, accrued interest on the Debentures was $2,205. The Company recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the Debentures of $124 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The Company recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the Debentures and amortization of the convertible debt discount as a result of the conversions discussed above of $169,985 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. As of September 30, 2006 the carrying value of the long-term portion of the Debentures was $313, net of unamortized debt discount of $67,187

9.     Deferred Wages and Accrued Professional Fees

     To reduce cash outflows, certain of the Company’s employees, officers, consultants, and directors have agreed to defer a portion of their salaries and professional fees until the Company has sufficient resources to pay the amounts owed or to exchange such amounts into options as described below. At September 30, 2006, the Company has accrued $922,170 related to the deferred payment of salaries and professional fees of which $724,020 is included under deferred wages and $198,150 in accrued professional fees. On March 18, 2002, the Board approved a conversion right on all deferred wages and accrued professional fees deferred as of March 18, 2002 (the “Conversion Right”). Pursuant to the Conversion Right, employees, officers, consultants, and directors may elect to convert $1.00 of fees owed to them as of March 18, 2002 for an option to purchase two shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share for a term of five years. Of the total $922,170 deferred salaries and professional fees, the amount subject to the Conversion Right is $111,500, resulting in the potential issuance of 223,000 options under the terms mentioned above. No conversions have occurred to date. At March 18, 2002, there was no intrinsic value associated with these exchange rights. As such, no additional compensation cost was recorded.

10.     Common Stock and Warrants

     On January 19, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the offering (the “2005 Offering”) of 2,000,000 units (the “Units”) to accredited investors for a total offering price of $1,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to acquire common stock. On November 21, 2005, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of Units offered in the 2005 Offering to 6,000,000 Units, for a total offering price of $3,000,000. The purchase price of one Unit is $0.50. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75. The warrants are exercisable at any time prior to the fifth anniversary from the date of their issuance.

     The 2005 Offering was terminated on June 9, 2006. As of the closing date of the 2005 Offering, the Company had raised $1,801,000 from the 2005 Offering.

     The Company engaged a brokerage firm to help in the fund raising efforts of the 2005 Offering. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the brokerage firm, the Company paid the brokerage firm a ten percent cash commission on all funds that the brokerage firm helped raise. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company incurred $51,650 of fees that were paid in cash to the brokerage firm. The brokerage firm and the Company also agreed that the Company would issue warrants to purchase a total of 439,600 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60. The warrants are exercisable for up to five years from the date of issuance, which is the date the proceeds were received under the 2005 Offering. Of the total 439,600 warrants that the brokerage firm received, 103,300 were earned during the three months ended September 30, 2005 as a result of the funds raised by the brokerage firm during that period. Accordingly, during the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded $68,178 as a reduction to paid-in capital for the fair value of the 103,300 warrants. The fair value of the warrant grants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 168%, risk-free interest rate of 4.14%, expected life of five years, and a 0% dividend yield.

11.      Subsequent Events

     On October 18, 2006, a non-employee Board member exercised stock options and a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The following is a summary of the stock options and warrant exercised on October 18, 2006 by the non-employee Board member:

Number of Shares of
Common Stock Acquired

Option or Warrant

Stock Option          20,000   $     1.05
 
Stock Option         10,000   $     0.55
 
Stock Option         20,000   $     0.70

On October 18, 2006 the same non-employee Board member exercised his conversion right under the terms of the Debentures (as described more fully in Note 8: Convertible Debt) and converted his $25,000 Debenture into 50,000 shares of common stock.

     Pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934, the non-employee Board member reported his ownership of the common stock of the Company and changes to such ownership by filing a Form 4 with the SEC on October 20, 2006.


Item 2.      Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations.


Plan of Operations

     The Company is currently focused on the buried pipe market in the United States. Accordingly, the Company redesigned and improved the hardware underlying the EMW Inspection Process, which provides a different pulse waveform specifically tailored to the buried pipe environment.

     Initial testing of the new buried-pipe inspection hardware has been completed at the Company’s Ferndale, Washington pipe test facility. This hardware has also been field tested on a natural gas pipeline in Washington and is now being tested on natural gas pipelines in Pennsylvania.

     The results of all these tests should provide the Company with critical information as to the detection capabilities of its new hardware in different “real world” conditions and accelerate the commercial deployment of the Company’s new hardware and software.

     Although several important milestones have been achieved in the testing of the Company’s new hardware and software, there can be no assurance that necessary additional field testing can be funded or that the new hardware and software can be successfully deployed on a commercial basis. Failure to do so could have a serious and material effect on the business and financial condition of the Company.

     Capital will be expended to support operations until the Company can generate sufficient cash flows from operations. In order for the Company to generate cash flows from operations, the Company must obtain revenue generating contracts. Management is currently directing the Company’s activities towards obtaining service contracts, which, if obtained, will necessitate the Company attracting, hiring, training and outfitting qualified technicians. If service contracts are obtained, it will also necessitate additional field test equipment purchases in order to provide the services. The Company expects that if revenue contracts are secured, working capital requirements will increase. The Company will incur additional expenses as it hires and trains field crews and support personnel related to the successful receipt of commercial contracts. Additionally, the Company anticipates that cash will be used to meet capital expenditure requirements necessary to develop infrastructure to support future growth.

     The Company has expended a significant amount of cash in developing its technology and patented processes. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management recognizes that in order to meet the Company’s capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing, including seeking industry-partner investment through joint ventures or other possible arrangements, will be necessary within the next twelve months. The Company is evaluating alternative sources of financing to improve its cash position and is undertaking efforts to raise capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure revenue contracts and generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

12


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     
Deferred Wages and Accrued Professional Fees

     To reduce cash outflows, certain of the Company’s employees, officers, consultants, and directors have agreed to defer a portion of their salaries and professional fees until the Company has sufficient resources to pay the amounts owed or to exchange such amounts into options as described below. At September 30, 2006, the Company has accrued $922,170 related to the deferred payment of salaries and professional fees of which $724,020 is included under deferred wages and $198,150 in accrued professional fees. On March 18, 2002, the Board approved a conversion right on all deferred wages and accrued professional fees deferred as of March 18, 2002 (the “Conversion Right”). Pursuant to the Conversion Right, employees, officers, consultants, and directors may elect to convert $1.00 of fees owed to them as of March 18, 2002 for an option to purchase two shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share for a term of five years. Of the total $922,170 deferred salaries and professional fees, the amount subject to the Conversion Right is $111,500, resulting in the potential issuance of 223,000 options under the terms mentioned above. No conversions have occurred to date. At March 18, 2002, there was no intrinsic value associated with these exchange rights. As such, no additional compensation cost was recorded.

     
Convertible Debt

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

     Upon the purchase of, and for each $0.50 of the Debenture’s principal amount, the Company issued to each investor a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase one (1) share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The Warrants are exercisable at any time prior to the 5th anniversary date of the redemption of the Debenture.

     Warrants issued in connection with the 2003 Offering were recorded based on their relative fair value as compared to the fair value of the debt at issuance. The relative fair value of the warrants was recorded as paid-in capital. The intrinsic value of the Debentures results in a beneficial conversion feature, recorded as a discount against the Debentures, which reduces the book value of the convertible debt to not less than zero. The Company amortizes the discount using the effective interest method over the five-year life of the Debentures.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Board of Directors terminated the 2003 Offering. As of the closing date of the 2003 Offering, the Company had raised $503,000 from the 2003 Offering.

     During the three months ended September 30, 2005, four investors exercised their conversion right under the terms of the Debentures. Accordingly, the carrying value of the convertible debt was reclassified as equity upon conversion. Since the convertible debt instruments include a beneficial conversion feature, the remaining unamortized discount of approximately $170,000 at the conversion date was recognized as interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2005.

     As of September 30, 2006, accrued interest on the Debentures was $2,205. The Company recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the Debentures of $124 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The Company recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the Debentures and amortization of the convertible debt discount as a result of the conversions discussed above of $169,985 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. As of September 30, 2006 the carrying value of the long-term portion of the Debentures was $313, net of unamortized debt discount of $67,187.

13


     Other Commitments

     The Company’s other contractual obligations consist of commitments under an operating lease and repayment of loans payable to certain stockholders.

     As of September 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding loans payable to certain stockholders with principal amounts, in the aggregate, equal to $57,500. The terms of the various notes are described above under “Note 7: Related Parties: Notes Payable - Stockholders.”

     As of September 30, 2006, the Company has future minimum lease payments of approximately $8,427 under its operating lease.


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

     The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as the Company “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects” or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe the Company’s projected future results, future plans, objectives or goals or future conditions or events are also forward looking statements. Actual results are inherently difficult to predict. Any such forward-looking statements are subject to the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results of operations, financial condition, acquisitions, financing transactions, operations, expenditures, expansion and other events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements would be subject to a number of assumptions regarding, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions generally. Such assumptions would be based on facts and conditions as they exist at the time such statements are made as well as predictions as to future facts and conditions, the accurate prediction of which may be difficult and involve the assessment of events beyond the Company’s control.

     The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company will obtain or have access to adequate financing to continue its operations, that the Company will market and provide products and services on a timely basis, that there will be no material adverse competitive or technological change with respect to the Company’s business, demand for the Company’s products and services will significantly increase, that the Company will be able to secure additional fee-for-services or licensing contracts, that the Company’s executive officers will remain employed as such by the Company, that the Company’s forecast accurately anticipate market demand, and that there will be no material adverse change in the Company’s operations, business or governmental regulation affecting the Company or its customers. The foregoing assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.


Item 3.      Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a)      Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. They have concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at ensuring that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act.


14


(b)     Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

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


PART II — OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.      Legal Proceedings.

     The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or any other party involving the Company or its properties.

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

     Stock Options

     On July 13, 2006, the Board approved an option grant to a consultant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.05 per share. The option was granted in consideration for work the consultant is performing for the Company. The option was fully vested upon grant and is exercisable until July 13, 2011. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized $89,000 as research and development expense for the fair value of the option grant. The fair value of the option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 160%, risk-free interest rate of 5.04%, expected life of five years, and a 0% dividend yield. These securities were issued in reliance on exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
