PART I





Item 1.  Business





The Company is a development stage company engaged in the research and commercial development of healthcare information systems and technologies.  To date, we have focused on developing a proprietary platform called Muscle Pattern Recognition (MPR), a unique clinical tool for the analysis of muscle function.





MPR is a non-invasive, proprietary technology platform that objectively analyzes muscle recruitment patterns of the neck and back - the coordinated engagement of muscle groups in order to perform specific body movements.  We believe that the MPR test results provide comprehensive information regarding those muscle recruitment patterns that can assist the healthcare professional in the evaluation and treatment of neck and back injuries and illnesses.  The results of an MPR evaluation are presented in a detailed report that we believe provides objective, clinically relevant evidence on the status of underlying biomechanical and neuromuscular integrity, or the overall health of the neck and back.





We believe that the capabilities of the MPR System are unique and that the system addresses an unmet market need for an objective, evidence-based test for the use of physicians and other health care professionals to better assess and manage patients with impaired musculoskeletal function.  We believe the MPR System supports the cost-containment and risk management goals of insurers, Workers’ Compensation carriers, self-insured employers and managed care providers by providing objective evidence to help control the soaring health care costs associated with neck and back injuries.





During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we incurred a net loss of $3,908,668 and $3,413,454, respectively, and had $983,292 cash on hand as of December 31, 2010.  We have not earned any revenue since our inception.





We continue to develop and enhance the features and performance of our technology with the goal of introducing new products based on our core research and development activities. Eight of our thirteen employees and one of our three independent consultants currently devote at least a portion of their time to our research and development activities.  We anticipate increasing levels of resources will be dedicated to sales and marketing in the implementation of our business strategy within the next 12 months.





As our business grows, we anticipate hiring additional employees and retaining additional consultants.





Historical Development





The Company was incorporated in 1997 in Nevada as Impact Medical Solutions, Inc.  On September 9, 2003, the Company acquired a patent from MPR Health Systems, Inc. for a patented medical information system called Muscle Pattern Recognition (“MPR”).  In December 2006, the Company merged into its wholly owned subsidiary Freedom 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and effectively reincorporated into Delaware.  The Company changed its name to iTech Medical Inc. in 2009.





Research and Development





We expense our research and developments expenses.  Research and development expenses consisted of costs associated with the design, development, testing, and enhancement of the MPR System.  The primary costs are salaries, consulting fees and non-recurring software development costs.  Expenses relating to research and development and clinical affairs increased to $736,049 in 2010 from $316,004 in 2009 due to an increase in the costs associated with our clinical trial and our regulatory filings in Europe and North America.  In February 2009, we initiated a research study in Salt Lake City, Utah, that we completed in the third quarter of 2010.

Market Opportunity





Overview


We believe today’s global health care environment is very complex, and the development and introduction of a new medical device such as MPR involves not just a regulatory approval process, but overcoming significant reimbursement hurdles and complex commercial challenges associated with training and educating physicians, rehabilitation specialists, patients and payers.





We believe the adoption of new and innovative healthcare technology is no longer based simply on the education of the physicians who would gain benefit from its use.  Today, technology adoption is much more complex and includes the need for evidence based scientific validation (commonly referred to as Evidence Based Medicine EBM) for not only the efficacy and safety of the device but also the financial justification in its ability to reduce costs and improve outcomes.  This new healthcare paradigm has created new and complex relationships between all organizations that populate the health care compass - integrated insurers, self-insured employers, managed care organizations, third party administrators, risk managers and physician networks. The impact on companies like iTech Medical is that we must first establish sound and credible scientific value for our device and then demonstrate these valuable attributes to both payers and the medical community alike, thus emphasizing the need for strong and effective sales and marketing programs.





Market Analysis


According to the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH), back pain is one of the most common and significant musculoskeletal medical problems in the world.  In 2001, this was confirmed when the World Health Organization declared lower back pain (LBP) an official global epidemic.  Each year, fifteen to forty-five percent of adults in developed countries suffer from lower back pain and one in twenty people present to a physician with a new episode. In developed countries, eighty-five percent of working age adults will seek care at some time in their lives for low back pain.  Ten percent of patients develop chronic pain that leads to early retirement and high health care costs.  Other notable statistics include:





·
An EU study published in 2010by the work foundation found that musculoskeletal disorders such as neck and back pain and repetitive strain injury conditions account for nearly 49% of all absences from work and 60% of permanent incapacity in the EU.  Annually, the estimated cost to society in Europe is up to $312 billion.




·
The U.S. Workers’ Compensation systems cover 127 million workers with approximately 50% of the working population reporting back pain every year.




·
Back injuries are the leading cause of disability in the United States for people younger than 45 years of age and have been the most expensive health care problem for the 20 to 50 year-old age group.  One third of all disability costs in the United States are due to low back disorders.





Back pain is classified into three categories based on the duration of symptoms:





·
Acute back pain is arbitrarily defined as pain that has been present for six weeks or less;




·
Sub acute back pain has a six- to 12-week duration; and,




·
Chronic back pain lasts longer than 12 weeks.





For most patients, the cause or causes of persistent neck and back pain remain poorly understood.  Pain in these regions of the body can result from multiple factors such as: mechanical, neurological and even psychological.




2





Although imaging procedures, including computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and conventional x-ray are able to accurately define structural pathology, the correlation of these anatomic findings with physiology, neck and back pain, and other musculoskeletal clinical complaints is imprecise.





Physician management of lower back pain varies and current evidence suggests that many tests are performed unnecessarily.  A 2004 US studyto assess the management of LBP found that 26% of lumbar spine films and 66% of CT scans and MRIs were inappropriately ordered.  Another study found that the overuse of imaging ranged from 20% in primary care doctors to 70% among orthopedic surgeons.





Acute neck and back pain is often recurrent, and most patients with a history of acute episodes eventually have more chronic symptoms.  Also, people who seek medical attention for back pain are thought to be at increased risk for chronic pain and disability.  Patients in all three groups (acute, sub acute and chronic) are appropriate candidates for MPR.





Annually, we estimate that eighty percent (967 million) of the world’s working population, ages 20 to 54, that experience a neck or back injury could be candidates for an MPR test.





Key Market Trends


Several trends have expanded the market for better solutions to diagnosing neck and back problems:





·
Increased employer and payer aggressiveness in quantifying and seeking ways to reduce the economic toll of back injuries;




·
Greater need for objective information for measuring patient treatment effectiveness and managing patients to successful outcomes;




·
Physicians’ increased use of quantifiable, evidence-based, clinical testing to aid in the diagnosis and management of patients;




·
Increased patient awareness of diagnostic and treatment alternatives and involvement in test selection and therapeutic choices; and




·
Increased health care purchaser and provider attention to injury prevention and preventative care.




We believe the convergence of these trends has magnified the large business opportunity to provide clinically proven tools to reduce the costs and improve the outcomes of patients with neck and back pain.





Target Markets for MPR


The target markets for MPR are large and include the following:





·
Primary care physicians, who initially treat the majority of patients with back pain;




·
Specialists including chiropractors, neurologists, occupational medicine practitioners, orthopedic surgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians (PM&R) and occupational medicine practitioners;




·
Physical and occupational therapists ;




·
Insurance companies and third party payers; and,




·
Health care service providers.





MPR will target all of these markets.  Because these markets are inter-related, marketing simultaneously to all targeted customers will reduce the sales cycle, sales and marketing costs and increase market penetration in each segment.

Primary Care Physicians.Primary care physicians typically include family practice physicians, internists, obstetricians, gynecologists, and pediatricians.  As neck and back pain is extremely common, these physicians actually see most of these patients and often have extensive experience in treating acute back pain due to muscle dysfunctions.  Often, they may order a variety of spinal diagnostic procedures to more fully investigate the potential causes of persistent back and neck pain and refer patients to a specialist for further diagnosis and treatment.





Specialists.There are several areas of specialty medicine that we believe represent target markets for MPR.  They include chiropractors, neurologists, orthopedists, anesthesiologists, occupational medicine physicians, and, physiatrists (physical medicine and rehabilitation), occupational medicine physicians and chiropractors.  All of these specialists have been trained to diagnosis and treat conditions related to the musculoskeletal system.





The MPR test must be prescribed by a certified physician and we believe the cultivation of a physician referral base will be important to the adoption and long-term success of MPR.





Physical and Occupational Therapy.Physical therapists (or physiotherapists) are primary healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat individuals who have medical problems or other health-related conditions, illnesses, or injuries that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities as well as they would like in their daily lives.  Their goal as health care professionals is to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairments or disabilities, including those with neck and back problems.  A physical therapist is trained extensively on anatomy and the musculoskeletal system resulting in a physical therapist usually being more knowledgeable about musculoskeletal injuries and rehabilitation than a medical doctor.





Occupational therapy primarily focuses on evaluating and improving a person’s functional abilities.  An occupational therapist does not directly treat a person's injury but helps a person optimize their independence and ability to accomplish their daily activities following an injury or in situations of physical impairment.





These specialists are responsible for the management of patients’ rehabilitation programs and make recommendations, suggestions and modification to these plans in direct consultation with both the patient and physician.  We believe the utilization and integration of the MPR assessment report into patient treatment planning and rehabilitation monitoring protocols managed by the therapists would have a profound impact on the pace and level of acceptance the technology achieves in the medical marketplace.





Insurance Companies and Third Party Payers.  The reimbursement policies and practices of insurance companies and other third party payers have a profound impact on the medical diagnostic industry.  Whether they are government sponsored universal health care programs, managed care organizations (HMO, PPO or POS), self-insured employers, workers’ compensation organizations, veteran and military organizations or private pay plans, these insurance entities largely dictate pricing policies for services rendered by practitioners and health care providers which, in turn, will directly affect the MPR technology adoption rate and our growth strategies.





Most developed countries across the globe have national health care programs.  These universal health care systems vary according to the extent of government involvement in providing care and/or health insurance.





There are three basic models for structuring national health care systems: national health insurance (NHI), national health system (NHS) and socialized health insurance (SHI).  In Canada, for example, the national health insurance program is largely financed by the government yet most of the actual care is delivered by private enterprises or private corporations, although most hospitals are public.  Approximately 30% of Canadian health care is paid for by the private sector or individuals.  This funding is directed towards services not covered, or only partially covered by Medicare such as prescription drugs, dentistry, vision care or complimentary medical care.





In Great Britain, the national health system is also financed by the government through taxes and the government manages the infrastructure for the delivery of medical care.  Under such a system the government operates most of the medical institutions and the majority of health care providers, such as physicians, are government employees.





In a socialized health insurance model like the one established in Germany, government- mandated contributions by employers and employees finance health care and private providers deliver health care.  Private, not-for-profit insurance companies, called sickness funds, are responsible for collecting the contributions and paying the physicians and hospitals.





Unlike the countries above, the United States health care delivery system, with exception to the government-financed Medicare and Medicaid, is based on private health insurance companies and private healthcare delivery institutions.  The influence of government-funded Medicare and Medicaid has created a need to use the universal diagnosis and procedure coding systems that have uniform and specific (International Code of Disease) ICD-9XXX and (Current Procedural Terminology) CPT codes.  The private insurance companies have adopted these codes as the basis upon which they will make their payments to healthcare institutions and physicians and are referred to as reimbursement payments for services rendered.  The complexity of this system comes from the need for U.S. insurance companies to develop insurance programs governed by both State and National policies.  This has led to numerous different insurance plans within each insurance company to cover patients in different states with potentially different reimbursement rates.  When one looks across the US and takes into account all of the different insurance companies and Healthcare institutions, the number of different insurance plans and programs, coupled with different reimbursement rates, it creates a very complex market in which to gain adoption of new medical technology.




4





Regardless of the type of health care program, insurance company or payer, we believe the clinical utility of MPRcan support the entire health care continuum in its effort to control direct and indirect costs while enhancing the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of the patient care being delivered.  With this in mind we believe the MPR technology will be strongly embraced by the myriad of insurers and payers financing the delivery of healthcare globally.





Health Care Service Providers.The health care service provider market will be important to the commercialization success of the MPR technology.  This segment includes hospitals, outpatient care centers, pain management treatment centers, large primary care physician practices, chiropractor offices, multi-specialty practices, rehabilitation and industrial medicine clinics, corporate health and wellness centers and diagnostic imaging centers.  We believe health care service providers will play a critical role in our adoption strategy because it is at these venues that the MPR test will be performed.





The MPR test must be performed by a trained and certified MPR technician.  Prospective technicians include nurses, medical or radiology technologists, EKG techs, physical or occupational therapists, emergency medical technicians and exercise physiologists.





Regulatory Requirements





United States.The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates all medical devices manufactured in the United States.  Within the FDA, the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is specifically charged with assuring the public that a device is safe and effective for its intended use.


The level of regulatory scrutiny is determined in good part by the class of a device.  Device classification, which is risk-based and assessed based on the intended use of the device, falls into three classes: Class I, II and III, with Class I devices requiring the least stringent controls and Class III devices requiring the most stringent controls.  All classes of devices are subject to General Controls, which include establishment (manufacturing/assembly site) registration, device listing, labelling, and current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in compliance with the Quality System Regulation.  The FDA does not actually test devices, but through various committees, it reviews pre-marketing applications for devices to assure their safety and effectiveness in accordance with their classification.





For an FDA clearance with a 510K classification, a manufacturer must first demonstrate that the device is “substantially equivalent” to a legally marketed device that has already been classified (known as a “predicate” device).  This is accomplished by submitting a Premarket Notification under Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act.  If after the 510(k) review the new device is found to be “substantially equivalent” to its “predicate” device, the FDA will allow the sale of the new device.





In February 2011, we filed a 510(k) submission for the MPR System as a new Class II device with the FDA.  While we are confident with the quality of our 510(k) submission, there is no assurance that we will receive approval of our application.





European Union.  The regulation of medical devices in the EU is different than in the Unites States and is guided by three European Commission (EC) Directives.  The main directive, which covers the vast majority of medical devices - including the MPR System - is the Medical Devices Directive (MDD).  The MDD, along with the other two EC Directives, have been enacted into the national laws of each EU Member State, resulting in a legislative framework comprised of literally dozens of medical device laws.





Before a company can sell a medical device within the EU, it must place a CE Mark (CE Marking) on its product.  The CE Mark for medical devices is not a quality mark nor is it intended for consumers.  It is a legally binding statement by the manufacturer that their product has met all of the requirements of the MDD.





We filed an application for the CE Mark for our MPR System in the third quarter of 2010 and we received approval in December 2010.





Canada.  Health Canada, through its Health Products and Food Branch (HPFB), is responsible for medical devices in Canada.  HPFB monitors and evaluates the safety, efficacy and quality of diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices.  All medical devices in Canada are subject to the Food and Drugs Act and its regulations.





Medical devices are categorized into four classes based on the level of risk associated with their use.  Class I devices present the lowest potential risk (e.g. thermometers) and Class IV devices present the greatest potential risk (e.g. pacemakers).  Class II, III and IV devices receive increasingly rigorous reviews, and must be licensed before being sold in Canada.  Class I devices do not require licenses, but manufacturers must ensure that devices are designed and manufactured to be safe, as required by the Medical Devices Regulations.





We filed an application with the HPFB in the third quarter of 2010 and we received approval to sell and market the MPR System in Canada in December 2010.





MPR





MPR is a non-invasive, proprietary technology platform that objectively analyzes muscle recruitment patterns of the neck and back - the coordinated engagement of muscle groups in order to perform specific body movements.  We believe that the MPR test results provide comprehensive information regarding those muscle recruitment patterns that can assist the healthcare professional in the evaluation and treatment of neck and back injuries and illnesses.  The results of an MPR evaluation are presented in a detailed report that we believe provides objective, clinically relevant evidence on the status of underlying biomechanical and neuromuscular integrity, or the overall health of the neck and back.




5





We believe that the capabilities of the MPR System are unique and that the system addresses an unmet market need for an objective, evidence-based test for the use of physicians and other health care professionals to better assess and manage patients with impaired musculoskeletal function.  We believe the MPR System supports the cost-containment and risk management goals of insurers, workers’ compensation carriers, self-insured employers and managed care providers by providing objective evidence to help control the soaring health care costs associated with neck and back injuries.





It is well understood that the neuromuscular behavior of muscle systems is a generic representation of the underlying integrity of the biomechanical system and its structures.  In other words, specific aspects of muscle behavior can be used as an indicator of overall health or underlying clinical dysfunction of the regions and systems in question. In this way, we believe the MPR System could serve as a ‘lab test’ much like blood pressure or body temperature is an indicator of underlying systemic dysfunction of the various structures and systems involved.





It is these principles that have been incorporated into the MPR test and that form the basis of a unique system that measures the breakdown of the functional relationships between muscles in a given movement.  By comparing the relationships of these muscle interactions, the standardized protocol of movements that makes up the MPR test provides the ability to compare patients to a proprietary reference database of typical muscle activation patterns of able-bodied, pain-free subjects.  When patients replicate the same carefully administered, standardized movements performed by the subjects in the database accurate, reliable comparisons are possible.





The MPRSystem





The MPR System is a clinical assessment tool that statistically and mathematically analyzes unique aspects of muscle behavior for specific functional movements.  Test results of an MPR assessment are based on the simultaneous measurement of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals produced by neck and back-related muscle groups during the execution of distinct body movements (an MPR Test).  A patient's readings are digitized and processed by a proprietary data analysis system that compares the patient's activation patterns with those produced by able-bodied, pain-free subjects in our proprietary normative database.   The test results can also be used as a baseline measure preceding therapy for tracking the progress of rehabilitation.





The MPR System consists of three integrated components:





·           MPR Data Acquisition Device;


·           MPR Data Analysis System; and


·           MPR Report





The MPR Data Acquisition Device





The MPR Data Acquisition Device consists of a commercially available laptop computer and a recording system equipped with a set of signal amplifiers. The amplifiers are attached to skin-surface electrodes that pick up the electrical signals produced by the underlying muscle groups. Similar recording system and signal amplifiers are available from several suppliers in the market place.





The Data Acquisition Device is controlled by proprietary data collection software developed and owned by ITM.  The software prompts and guides the Technician (operator) in performing the required data collection tasks; it assists patient and operator in the execution of body movements by providing visual and audio prompts; and it provides a real-time graphical display of muscle activity.  With the use of these tools the MPRTechnician is assisted in successfully and reliably completing the data collection process and in archiving and transmitting the data for analysis.




6





The MPRData Analysis System





The data collected during each MPRtest is processed by our computerized Data Analysis System.  Proprietary analytical software, also developed and owned by ITM, is used to assess the quality of the MPR data and, to derive a number of specific metrics used to characterize the patient’s muscle recruitment patterns, which are then compared to the same recruitment patterns of able-bodied, pain-free subjects and/or to previous baseline testing.





The MPR Report





The results of the analysis are presented in an MPR Report, which is electronically transmitted to the referring health care provider.  The MPRReport provides a health care provider with objective evidence that indicates the presence of typical or atypical muscle recruitment patterns, which we believe are indicators of underlying biomechanical integrity and clinical dysfunction.  Therefore, this objective indicator information would be integrated with the clinician’s examination findings and other clinical information for more effective overall decision-making regarding clinical assessment and treatment efficacy.





We will continue to develop and enhance the features and performance of our technology with the goal of introducing new reference data sets based on our core research and development activities.  So, where the current MPR Report provides information identifying the presence and extent of a deviation of an atypical pattern, in the future, it may be possible to specify the nature or particular aspects of an atypical pattern.





MPR - based Clinical Evaluation





MPR is expected to provide objective validation of any underlying relevant clinical (biomechanical) dysfunction.  The results from an MPR test can be integrated with a health care provider’s standard clinical examination to further clarify, confirm and corroborate relevant clinical dysfunctions to objectively evaluate the state of health of a patient.





Sales and Marketing





Overview





We believe today’s global health care environment is very complex, and the development and introduction of a new medical device such as MPR involves not just the regulatory approval process, but also overcoming significant reimbursement hurdles and complex commercial challenges associated with training and educating physicians, rehabilitation therapists, patients and payers.





We believe the traditional delivery of health care, when decision-making was based on the sole discretion of the treating physicians, has evolved toward a more financially based, protocol-driven medical care that is now known as evidence-based medicine.  We believe this new healthcare paradigm has created new and complex relationships between all organizations that populate every point of the health care compass - integrated insurers, self-insured employers, managed care organizations, third party administrators, risk managers, physician networks and health care delivery systems.  We believe complicated new relationships have evolved and must all be considered as part of our marketing effort for MPR.





Marketing Plan





We believe there are two broad markets for MPR under which all other target markets fall.  The two markets are the major medical markets and the workers’ compensation markets.  Additionally, because of the complex relationship and the financial gatekeeper role that they play, we believe insurance companies will require specific and focused attention in our sales and marketing plan.  Our initial target market for MPR is the major medical market because we believe successfully penetrating this market will allow us to reach the largest audience of potential users and referrers of the test.





Major Medical Market




The target markets for MPR within the medical profession include neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists (physiatrists), occupational medicine practitioners (OccMed), primary care physicians (GPs) and physical and occupational therapists.




7





For MPR to be broadly adopted within our targeted markets there are three objectives we believe we must achieve:





1.
We intend to validate the clinical effectiveness and economic value of MPR through independent clinical studies with publication of the results in one or more peer-reviewed journals;




2.
We will provide focused reimbursement resources to support medical professionals as they integrate the MPR procedure into their practice to help establish reimbursement levels for tests they perform; and,




3.
In addition to the reimbursement support, we believe our education on the clinical efficacy and value will allow clinicians to effortlessly integrate the MPR findings into their clinical processes enabling them to make decisions on their more challenging cases with stronger objective findings.




In support of the first objective, our clinical strategy calls for two independent clinical studies of MPR.  We expect these studies to begin in 2011 and to continue into the future as we seek additional ways to strengthen our clinical performance.  Our first study will be conducted in the United States and is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2011 with a targeted completion date in the fourth quarter.  This pilot study will be a blinded, single-center clinical study to evaluate the use of MPR as an adjunct to the clinical assessment of neck and back pain of musculoskeletal origin.  Following the completion of the pilot study, we intend to initiate a formal, multi-national, multi center pivotal outcome study.  The study will be designed to validate the hypothesis that by using an MPR assessment, clinicians can objectively distinguish between a neuromuscular system that is producing normal muscular recruitment patterns versus a system that has neuromuscular dysfunction associated with its muscle recruitment patterns.  In addition, the system will be used to monitor the rehabilitation process to validate the effectiveness of treatment.  Patient recruitment for the pilot study is expected to begin following the raising of additional funds.





We believe successful completion of our clinical trial program will allow us to receive regulatory clearance in all our major markets.  Concomitantly, we believe our studies will also provide us with the necessary data for the preparation and submission of independent scientific papers to peer-reviewed journals and the participation in selected scientific and medical conferences.





Following the pivotal outcome study, we intend to use the recognition and influence of our Medical Advisory Board members to assist us in establishing awareness of our MPR methodology with the professional societies such as the Neurological Society of America, the American Academy of Neurology, the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electro-diagnostic Medicine and the American Physical Therapy Association.





We anticipate target marketing will follow from industry and trade awareness campaigns to specific executions directed at key customers and customer segments.  We expect individual physicians and physical therapy and occupational health clinics involved in workers’ compensation will be an early initiative under our marketing plan.





The workers’ compensation system is a legally driven medical delivery system and we believe that many physicians do not wish to become involved in litigated matters and defer such cases to those specialists who are familiar with the compensation laws. It is this latter group of health care providers who take care of the overwhelming majority of such cases.  The specialties of occupational medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation (physiatry) and physical therapy are the most common care providers to the injured worker.  It is to these groups of providers that we will initially concentrate our efforts.  Through publications in medical journals, presentations at national medical conferences, lectures at smaller local medical societies and hospitals, discussions with selected teaching hospitals and universities, and the writings and endorsements of the members of our Medical Advisory Board members, we believe we can appropriately present the MPR technology to a wide audience of users.  As the members of a medical community tend to speak freely amongst themselves about emerging technologies, we believe we can also expect a greater awareness of MPR from simple doctor-to-doctor word of mouth.




8





We believe that as the awareness of the MPR technology increases, it will be easier for a physician to request a test just as they can request an x-ray or an MRI.  Through the MPR test results, we believe rehabilitation specialists can communicate more effectively with the treating physician regarding the patient’s treatment plan and their recovery progress.  Given the nature of the MPR test the physician can repeat the test for the injured patient to track the progress and impact of the prescribed treatment plan.  This follow-up testing allows the physical or occupational therapist to monitor more closely a patient’s progress during their rehabilitative recovery phase and assist them in bringing that case to closure.





At approximately the same time, we expect to contact and begin all of the necessary activity to join with other high-profile providers of healthcare and work with them as beta-sites to help spread the word and independently demonstrate the benefits of the MPR technology in the diagnosis and treatment of back and neck injuries.





Discussions have already begun with healthcare providers and large key national employers and insurers in North America and Europe.  They have all indicated their interest and intention to become involved with us both as users and buyers of the MPR services upon completion of the clinical studies and with our FDA clearance, if obtained.





Finally, through these collaborative relationships we believe that we will soon thereafter generate the clinical support and economic data necessary to obtain reimbursement for the test.  We believe obtaining reimbursement for MPR will promote and facilitate a more rapid and extensive building of awareness and utilization of the MPR technology.  This achievement will be essential to meeting the second condition in obtaining acceptance by the medical profession.





Workers’ Compensation




History and Overview





In the United States most states require employers to purchase insurance for their employees from a Workers' Compensation insurance company - also called an insurance carrier. In some states, larger employers who are clearly solvent are allowed to self-insure or act as their own insurance company, while smaller companies (with fewer than three or four employees) are not required to carry Workers' Compensation insurance at all. When a worker is injured, his or her claim is filed with the insurance company - or self-insuring employer - who pays medical and disability benefits according to a state-approved formula.





The Workers' Compensation system provides replacement income, medical expenses and sometimes vocational rehabilitation benefits (i.e. on the job training, schooling or job placement assistance). An employee temporarily unable to work due to work-related injury is often entitled to receive two-thirds of their average wage up to a fixed ceiling. These payments are tax-free, so they would fare reasonably well in most states. Many employees are eligible for these wage-loss replacement benefits as soon as they've lost a few days of work because of an injury (i.e. back injury) that is covered by Workers' Compensation.





Although state laws vary, insurance carriers are usually able to dictate or influence the sources of care for back problems, particularly in the crucial early period. These organizations have the authority to recommend the use of MPR in their assessment and treatment protocols. We believe Workers' Compensation boards and self-insured companies stand to generate substantial savings by using MPR because of the enormous costs involved in lost productivity associated with employee time away from work.




9





There are many players involved in the many facets of the implementation of the Workers' Compensation system. They include:





·
the medical profession in the broadest definition of 'medical';




·
insurance companies;




·
employers and employer organizations;




·
injured workers;




·
labor unions and workers' organizations;




·
attorneys and their organizations; and




·
the state agencies that regulate and implement the Workers' Compensation program.








We believe all of the players are in some way linked to each other under the Workers' Compensation system, and we believe each stakeholder represents a distinct market for MPR and requires a unique marketing approach. The one common element, however, that underscores each of these markets is that to be successful, we believe MPR must gain the acceptance of the medical profession and the insurance companies.





Variations of Workers’ Compensation systems exist in Canada and most European countries. It is our intention to focus our immediate sales and marketing efforts on those entities that support Workers’ Compensation organizations in the countries we he have targeted for product launch in 2011.





Insurance Companies and Payers





Addressing the needs of the insurance companies will be one of the other prime focuses of our marketing plan. Their reimbursement policies and practices may have a profound impact on our methods of distribution, our growth strategy and ultimately on our revenues because their reimbursement procedures largely dictate the pricing policies for our product. We believe that by addressing the needs of the insurance companies, we are also addressing the needs of the medical professionals who can use MPR.  Third party payers can be very controlling and onerous for physicians to deal with on a day-to-day basis and if we are successful in establishing clear reimbursement policies for MPR, we believe physicians will be more likely to use the test because they may be saved the aggravation of fighting the insurance company over billing and payment for the test.





When billing insurance companies for services like MPR, health practitioners use reimbursement codes. Reimbursement claims require the use of a coding system: one that identifies the patient's disease or medical condition and another that describes the procedures, services or supplies a practitioner provides to their patients.


In today’s health care environment, payers, whether private or public, domestic or international, are increasingly sophisticated and rely more and more upon specific clinical evidence, health care outcome data and economic value to drive the reimbursement (coverage/payment) process.





Reimbursement policies for medical technology are also highly complex and vary from country to country based on the type of health care system in place. These reimbursement policies continue to change as countries reform and restructure their healthcare provision.  Often reimbursement is used politically, as a means of price curbing and managing access to technology, which leads to frequent overhauls of the systems in an attempt at achieving the best value for money.





Increasingly, health-care policymakers want scientific, technological and economic evidence before classifying a new technology such as MPR as reimbursable. Although it is important to ensure that new medical devices are superior to conventional treatments, due to short-sightedness in certain assessment mechanisms and limited availability of clinical trial information, the reliability of estimates of the efficacy and cost-effectiveness can be questioned. As health technology assessment procedures are centralized, it becomes ever more important that coverage decisions regarding new medical devices are made on sound, robust criteria and that they include the full economic benefits to the patient, to the health-care system and to society. As pressure on health-care funding mounts, reimbursement policy, in particular, is being refocused to target the contrasting objectives of health-care expenditure containment and support of innovation.




10





These circumstances dictate that for a medical technology company like ours to be successful, it must devote significant time and resources to keeping abreast of the latest market developments while devising and implementing strategies to best address the changing requirements of the health care continuum.





In the United States the process for requesting a new reimbursement (CPT) code is well defined by the American Medical Association which has developed a formal process for evaluating coding suggestions for products like MPR. In the past, MPR has been reimbursed under a general CPT code for “Alternative Neuromuscular Disorders” (Code #95999).  To obtain broad acceptance of the MPR System with insurance companies and other third party payers, we believe it may be necessary to obtain a more specific CPT code for the test than Code #95999.  To help us achieve this goal, we are working with a leading specialized consulting firm that provides financial and regulatory services to companies that operate in regulated industries.





If we are successful in obtaining a CPT code for MPR, the marketing emphasis with the insurance companies is likely to shift from proving the safety and effectiveness of MPR to demonstrating the economic benefits associated with using the test to identify and treat muscle dysfunction of the back and the neck. We believe this shift can be accomplished through one or more independent cost/benefit studies which we plan on beginning after the current clinical studies have been completed.





We believe the value of these cost/benefit studies to us is great because insurance companies are also playing an increasingly important role as prescribers. And because we believe MPR has the potential to control direct medical costs and indirect costs such as lost time, disability claims, and litigation expenses, we believe that MPR will be well received by insurers who have the potential to become a major source of referrals, particularly in the Workers’ Compensation market. The cost of these studies is expected to be less than those associated with the current clinical studies and may be absorbed by one or more potential customers.





MPR’s market success, in large part, will depend on whether or not we are successful in securing adequate reimbursement levels for the technology’s clinical use.  To this end we are evaluating commissioning similar reimbursement and independent cost/benefit studies in Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain.





Other Target Markets





Employers





Most employers are experience-rated for Workers’ Compensation. They can directly benefit from reductions in the medical and income continuation costs due to better discernment in the diagnosis and treatment of back problems. In addition, many employers retain significant financial risk for disability and lost wages as well as health care costs under health benefit plans they purchase on behalf of their employees and dependents. We believe these employers stand to reduce their health care costs by using MPR.





Self-insurance, in the context of Workers’ Compensation, is a program under which an employer assumes the risk for the vast majority of its Workers’ Compensation liabilities, and purchases some form of excess, or stop-loss coverage, designed to protect the employer from catastrophic losses. We will initially focus our sales and marketing efforts with those employers where we believe the MPR System’s strengths and economic advantages are most easily recognized and quantified.  Some of these employers include previous users of MPR.





We will also target specific employers where MPR has the ability to serve as an occupational health assessment tool that we believe can be used not only to reduce the overall cost of healthcare and healthcare insurance but also as an assessment tool to prevent back injuries in those employees who may have a pre-existing condition. Examples of these employers include those companies working in the automobile manufacturing sector, airlines, ground transportation and heavy manufacturing.




11





Health Care Plan Administrators will also be targeted. These large organizations provide services to public and private self-insured employers. In their role to manage private plans, they can influence care strategies and/or treatment selection criteria, and they may have authority to commit funds for evaluation and treatment. Most of them have financial incentives to contain costs and limit payers' exposure related to ongoing treatment and disability.





Other target markets include firms servicing insurance companies, third-party plan administrators for self-insured employers, and risk and case management companies. We plan on targeting the medical care providers that service these markets such as hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, corporate health and wellness centers, industrial medicine clinics, diagnostic imaging centers, and physical therapy practices.  We feel this second group is also an important component of our strategy because, in addition to its capacity to prescribe MPR, it may serve as a delivery vehicle for the test.





Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) are expected to be of vital importance to us due to their leadership role in the cost containment drive and the considerable market share they enjoy.





We will also attempt to recruit hospitals, independent clinics and diagnostic centers as evaluation centers for MPR evaluations. We believe these providers have the potential to become the delivery system for corporate clients and insurance companies. They have the ability to service the medical/legal market and may later become the sites for entry into the medical back pain and physical medicine market.





We also believe that the MPR technology can have a significant impact on the cost containment related to the conservative management of neck and back patients in the rehabilitation industries. The large increase in the cost of treatments over the last decade has resulted in more and more reimbursement being based on capitation. Under capitation systems and many government-managed, universal health care systems, health care providers are awarded a fixed maximum in their fees for services. At this time, we believe there are no known objective measures that can monitor if a patient needs more treatment or not. We believe we can provide this objective evidence, and we are planning to build relationships with major national rehabilitation organizations that we believe will result in the establishment of best care practices for the delivery of back and neck rehabilitation protocols.





On a domestic and international level we expect to enter into agreements with national and regional medical product distributors to reinforce the sales and marketing of MPR, and to act as service providers to their customers and to other strategic partners. We believe that developing longer sales cycle opportunities will be accomplished through more comprehensive strategic marketing and foreign and domestic partnerships. We anticipate that this combination of efforts will establish the product awareness and acceptance.





Reimbursement for MPR - CPT Coding




When billing insurance companies for services like MPR, health practitioners use “codes”.  Reimbursement claims require the use of two coding systems: one that identifies the patient's disease or medical condition (the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification, or ICD-9-CM, codes) and another that describes the procedures, services or supplies a practitioner provides to their patients (the Current Procedural Terminology, or CPT, codes).





CPT coding was developed by the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1966 in response to the increasing need for standardized terminology and clarity so that physicians and other health care providers could describe their work for purposes of billing health insurers.  CPT is also used for administrative management purposes such as claims processing and developing guidelines for medical care review.




12





The process for requesting a new CPT code is well defined and the AMA has developed a formal process for evaluating coding suggestions.  Requests are sent to the CPT Editorial Panel and reviewed by appropriate members of the CPT Advisory Committee.  Coding proposals must contain detailed information on the procedure described, including a clinical vignette of the typical patient and, if a surgical procedure, an operative report.  Copies of peer-reviewed articles published in U.S. journals describing the safety and effectiveness of the procedure must also be included.





MPR has been reimbursed in the past under a general CPT code for “Alternative Neuromuscular Disorders” (Code #95999).  We believe that to obtain broad acceptance of the MPR System with health care practitioners, it may be important for us to obtain a more specific CPT code for the test than Code #95999.





Growth through Partnership





We are in the process of developing corporate alliances for the development, sales and marketing of MPR in a number of important markets including North America and the European Union (EU). Initially, we are targeting strategic alliances with corporate partners to gain ‘footholds’ in specific markets outside the United States.





The second level of partnerships is expected to be with U.S. corporate partners to gain access to our key domestic markets. Together we hope to encourage pilot projects with carefully selected customers - employers, workers' compensation carriers, managed care organizations and physicians groups that deliver significant services under workers' compensation.





We have entered into discussions with a European-based company for the sales, marketing and distribution of MPR in the EU but no agreement has been reached at this time.





Manufacturing and Service





We use commercially available data recording equipment and disposable electrodes from Thought Technology Ltd., an unaffiliated biofeedback and psycho-physiological instrument manufacturer based in Montreal, Canada.  Thought Technology maintains all relevant manufacturing facility registrations and Quality System certifications (ISO 13485) for the sEMG/ECG equipment and disposables used in the MPRSystem, and is in full compliance with FDA, Health Canada and European (CE Marking) requirements.





In September 2010, we received ISO 13485 certification for the production and sale of surface electromyography (sEMG) diagnostic devices for clinical use.  As a result of this certification, we currently perform the final assembly of the MPRData Acquisition Device, which includes software installation, system configuration, and final system testing.  The MPRsoftware is produced and released by us and we are currently responsible for first-line service, including software support.  Individual equipment is serviced by their corresponding manufacturers.





The MPRData Analysis System (central application server and related software) is configured, maintained, and operated by us.

The ability of individual stockholders to trade their shares in a particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state.  A number of states require that an issuer's securities be registered in their state or appropriately exempted from registration before the securities are permitted to trade in that state.  Presently, the Company has no plans to register its securities in any particular state.  Further, the Company's shares are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g- 9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.





The SEC generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC; authorized for quotation on The NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the issuer's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the SEC. Broker- dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse), are subject to additional sales practice requirements.





For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent to clients disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in the Company's common stock and may affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


For a summary of the terms and conditions of the warrants discussed in this section, see Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements included in this Report.





During the year ended December 31, 2010, we sold to Revox Ventures, Ltd.: (i) 6,000,000 shares of common stock; (ii) 4,000,000 Series F-1 Warrants; (iii) 2,000,000 Series F-2 Warrants; (iv) 1,000,000 Series F-3 Warrants; and (v) 1,000,000 Series F-4 Warrants.  We received total proceeds of $2,200,000 from the sale of these securities.   These issuances were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) as a transaction not involving a public offering and Regulation S of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We issued to two individuals an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock as finders’ fees for these sales.





In April 2011, the Company received a demand from Revox for the issuance of additional shares of common stock and a reduction in the exercise price of certain of the warrants that it had received.  Revox based this claim on the issuance by the Company of shares of common stock at a price lower than the price being paid by Revox for certain of its shares.  Under the Stock Purchase Agreement with Revox, the Company has agreed that subject to certain conditions, if it issues shares for cash for financing purposes at prices less than the shares then being sold to Revox, Revox is entitled to the lower price for all of the shares purchased during that phase of the agreement, and that the exercise prices of warrants and purchase price for shares in later phases are proportionately reduced.  The Company disputes Revox’s claim, and the Company and Revox are presently engaged in discussions regarding the claim.  If Revox were to prevail on its claim, the Company believes that: (i) it would be obligated to issue to Revox approximately 702,703 additional shares of common stock; (ii) the exercise prices of approximately 8,000,000 warrants that Revox holds would be reduced by 26%; and (iii) the p the purchase price for shares in Phase II under the stock purchase agreement (should Revox elect to participate), and the exercise of the related warrants, would be reduced by approximately 26%.





In July 2010, we issued to Frans Berndsen 500,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 Series E Warrants upon conversion of outstanding debt to Mr. Berndsen in the amount of $347,843.  This issuance was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, as no commission or remuneration was paid in connection with the exchange.





During the fourth quarter of 2010, we issued a total of 336,428 shares to three vendors for services rendered.  The services were valued a total of $157,495.  These issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving any public offering.  The Company did not use any general solicitation or advertising in connection with the sales and each vendor represented that it was an accredited investor, acquired the shares for its own account for investment purposes only and understood the shares were not registered under the Securities Act and the related restrictions on transfer and the securities were legended.

In December 2010, we issued 300,000 units to one individuals for $0.37 per unit or a total of $100,000.  Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one Series F-2 Warrant.  This issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S because the offer no directed selling efforts were made in the United States, the purchaser was not a U.S. person, the purchaser represented that it understood the securities were not registered under the Securities Act and the related restrictions on transfer, and the securities were legended.





In December 2010, we issued 410,000 units to three individuals for $0.37 per unit or a total of $150,000.  Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one Series G-4 Warrant.  This issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S because the offer no directed selling efforts were made in the United States, the purchaser was not a U.S. person, the purchaser represented that it understood the securities were not registered under the Securities Act and the related restrictions on transfer, and the securities were legended.





On July 7, 2010, we issued to Frans Berndsen 1,000,000 Series E common stock purchase warrants for converting debt ($125,000) to common stock.





During 2010, we issued 675,675 Series F-2 common stock purchase warrants and 405,405 Series G-4 common stock purchase warrants in connection with private placements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.





The information set forth and discussed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is derived from the Financial Statements of iTech Medical, Inc. and the related notes thereto which are included as exhibits to this current report. The following information and discussion should be read in conjunction with such Financial Statements and notes.  Additionally, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations constitutes forward-looking statements.  We encourage you to review our “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the front of this current report, and our “Risk Factors” set forth above.





Overview





Plan of Operations





In the next 12 months, we anticipate reaching a number of clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones.  They include:





·
completing an international, multi-center Outcome Study;




·
obtaining clearance from the FDA to begin marketing and sales of the MPR System in the U.S.;




·
sign one or more distribution deals for the MPR System in North America and/or Europe; and,




·
begin sales in North America and Europe.





18





There are many challenges that we will encounter as we build our business.  To meet these challenges, we believe it is important to assemble a team of experienced healthcare executives and medical opinion leaders to work with us to carry out the business and marketing plans of the Company.  We also believe that to be successful in the development and commercialization of the MPR System, we must not only meet the milestones discussed above, but we must also:





·
Develop an awareness of MPRwith physicians, employers, insurance companies, HMOs and other potential users of the MPRSystem;




·
Establish strong clinical and financial evidence of the key MPR value propositions through formal clinical studies representing our two target markets: North America and Europe;




·
Develop a template for consistent usage patterns of MPR in key reference accounts;




·
Establish a Reimbursement Support Services Team to assist our customers in their submissions for insurance reimbursement during the early stages of MPR market adoption;




·
Form relationships with key strategic partners with access to insurers, self-insured employers and other health care organizations that could use the MPR System;




·
Establish MPRin selected key reference accounts in geographic markets throughout Europe and the U.S., creating a delivery system to perform the tests as and where needed; and,




·
Form corporate alliances for the development, sales and marketing of MPRin a number of important yet opportunistic foreign markets that do not currently fall within our targeted geographic markets.





Funds currently available to us will not be adequate for us to complete these programs.  We had $983,292 cash on hand as of December 31, 2010.  We are in the development stage and have not earned any revenue since our inception.  Therefore, we will need to raise additional funds in order to fully implement our business plan.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising such additional funds on favorable terms if at all.  Regardless of whether our cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet our operational needs, we might seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash.





Our continued operations therefore will depend upon our ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowings, equity or debt financing.  Given the turbulence and volatility in the capital markets, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to us.  If we cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to curtail or cease our activities.  We may encounter difficulty in obtaining these funds and/or credit lines.  Moreover, even if additional financing or credit lines were to become available, it is possible that the cost of such funds or credit would be high and possibly prohibitive.





We continue to develop and enhance the features and performance of our technology with the goal of introducing new products based on our core research and development activities.  Eight of our thirteen employees and one of our three independent consultants currently devote at least a portion of their time to our research and development activities.  We anticipate increasing levels of resources will be dedicated to research and clinical development in the implementation of our business strategy within the next 12 months.





As our business grows, we anticipate hiring additional employees and retaining additional consultants.





Critical Accounting Policies





The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  We rely on historical experience and on other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances in making our judgment and estimates.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that are complex and those that require significant judgments and estimates, including the following: recognition of revenue, expensing of software development costs and valuation of our intangible assets and the determination of the valuation allowance of our deferred income taxes.





Long Lived Assets





Long-lived assets (primarily furniture and equipment and patents) are reviewed annually for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Impairment is necessary when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset.




19





Research and Development Costs





Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred in accordance with ASC 730, “Research and Development”.


Share-based Compensation





We have adopted the provisions of ASC 718 and have measured compensation cost related to stock options issued to employees at their fair value using the Black-Scholes method.  Share-based payments issued to persons other than employees is also reflected in the financial statements at fair value computed using the Black-Scholes method.





Results of Operations – Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009





Revenues





We had no revenues in 2009 or 2010.





Research and Development Expenses





Research and development expenses increased to $483,592 in 2010 from $134,504 in 2009 due to increased activity related to the further development of the MPR System and the testing of the system to support our regulatory filings in North America and Europe.





We expense our research and developments costs as incurred.  Research and development expenses consisted of costs associated with the design, development, testing, and enhancement of the MPR System.  In January 2010, we signed a 5-year Research and Development Agreement with Salus Research, Inc., a Canadian-based contract research company, to carry out the majority of the R&D work related to the development and commercialization of the MPR System.  The primary costs associated with the Salus Research agreement and our own internal R&D works are salaries, consulting fees and non-recurring software development costs.See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.





Medical and Clinical Expenses





Medical and clinical expenses consisted of costs associated with the clinical study of the MPR System.  The primary costs are salaries, consulting fees, clinical trial protocol development costs and clinical research organization costs.  Medical and clinical expenses increased to $252,457 in 2010 from $181,500 in 2009.  The increase from 2009 to 2010 is primarily due to the clinical trial at the Utah Spine and Joint Center that was completed in the third quarter of 2010.





General and Administrative Expenses





General and administrative expenses increased to $3,148,797 in 2010 from $2,612,279 in 2009 primarily due to an increase in all areas of operation of the Company.  We received $2.56 million in new funding in 2010 that allowed us to continue the development and clinical research of the MPR System, including the completion of a 600-patient research study.  The funds also allowed us to complete the work that led to our ISO 13485 Certification for quality standards, and approval of the MPR System in Europe and Canada.




Expenses related to the issuance of common stock and warrants for services decreased from $1,816,536 in 2009 to $1,665,021 in 2010.  In July 2010, the Company agreed in to convert $125,000 in promissory notes from Frans Berndsen, one of its shareholders and an Affiliate, into common stock and warrants.  This conversion resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $75,000.  The difference between the face value of Mr. Berndsen’s loan and the fair value of the common stock ($200,000) was treated as compensation and included in general and administrative expenses.   The fair value of the warrants given to Mr. Berndsen for the same transaction was $272,843, which is also included in general and administrative expenses.  Mr. Berndsen and Wim Peters, a Director of the Company, received one million two hundred and fifty thousand (1,250,000) shares of common stock each as service fees for the Revox Ventures financing completed during 2010.  This resulted in a general and administrative expense of $1,025,000 for the year ending December 31, 2010.




20





Interest Income and Expense





The interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased to $22,101 as compared with $484,255 for the year ended December 31, 2009 primarily due to the conversion of much of our short-term borrowings to common stock in 2009.  Interest paid in cash decreased to $19,192 in 2010 from $74,898 for 2009.





Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity





We are in the development stage and have not earned any revenue since our inception.  These factors have caused our auditors to express substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we incurred a net loss of $3,908,668 and $3,413,454, respectively.





At December 31, 2010, we had cash on hand of $983,292.  We utilized cash of approximately $1,734,290 in the period ended December 31, 2010 compared to $483,732 for the same period ended December 31, 2009. The cash used in operating activities in 2010 is higher than 2009 due to the resumption of our research and clinical programs, the work that was required for our ISO 13485:2003 certification and the work that was required to file for commercial approval of the MPR System in North America and Europe.  We have funded our operations primarily through private placements of equity securities. In 2010, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $115,515 from loans from related parties and $2,450,000 from the issuance of common stock.





We expect that we will require approximately $3.0 million of cash for operating activities in 2011.  This is due primarily to the work required to complete the analytical work of the MPR software, the completion of the clinical trial program and the work associated with our regulatory filings.  As of April 14, 2011 we current have approximately $275,000 which we expect to last us 60 days before we will require additional funds.





We will need to raise additional capital  to support our projected increases in staffing and other operating expenses, which we cannot give any assurance we will be able to accomplish.  If we are unable to raise additional capital, it will be necessary for us to significantly reduce expenses to stay in business.  In addition, any new equity or debt financing that we secure may not be available to us at prices that would be acceptable.  Our failure to reduce expenses or obtain necessary financing could impair our ability to stay in business. See “Risk Factors --We may need to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available.”





Risk Factors





You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision in our securities.  These risk factors are effective as of the date of this Form 10-K and shall be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained in our future filings incorporated herein by reference modifies or replaces such statement.  All of these risks may impair our business operations.  The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K and in the documents incorporated herein by reference involve risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from the results we discuss in the forward-looking statements.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.





We have a dispute with a large shareholder.





In April 2011, the Company received a demand from Revox for the issuance of additional shares of common stock and a reduction in the exercise price of certain of the warrants that it had received.  Revox based this claim on the issuance by the Company of shares of common stock at a price lower than the price being paid by Revox for certain of its shares.  Under the Stock Purchase Agreement with Revox, the Company has agreed that subject to certain conditions, if it issues shares for cash for financing purposes at prices less than the shares then being sold to Revox, Revox is entitled to the lower price for all of the shares purchased during that phase of the agreement, and that the exercise prices of warrants and purchase price for shares in later phases are proportionately reduced.  The Company disputes Revox’s claim, and the Company and Revox are presently engaged in discussions regarding the claim.  If Revox were to prevail on its claim, the Company believes that: (i) it would be obligated to issue to Revox approximately 702,703 additional shares of common stock; (ii) the exercise prices of approximately 8,000,000 warrants that Revox holds would be reduced by 26%; and (iii) the p the purchase price for shares in Phase II under the stock purchase agreement (should Revox elect to participate), and the exercise of the related warrants, would be reduced by approximately 26%.




21





We have a limited operating history and no revenues.





As a development stage company, our operations are subject to all the risks inherent in launching a new business enterprise, in developing and marketing a new product or service, and in establishing a name and a business reputation. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of problems, expenses, difficulties and delays frequently encountered in converting prototype designs into viable production designs, and in achieving market acceptance with a new type of product or service. We have had no product revenues to date, have operated at a loss since inception, and will likely sustain operating losses for an indeterminate time period. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate material revenues or that we will ever be profitable.





We may need to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available.





During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we incurred a net loss of $3,908,668 and $3,413,454, respectively, and had $983,292 cash on hand as of December 31, 2010 and an accumulated deficit of $14,666,271. We are in the development stage and have not earned any revenue since our inception.  Due to the foregoing facts, our auditors have expressed their doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  Current funds available to us will not be adequate for us to complete our clinical program.  Therefore, we will need to raise additional funds in order to fully implement our business plan.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising such additional funds.  Regardless of whether our cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet our operational needs, we might seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash.





Our continued operations therefore will depend upon our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to us.  If we cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to curtail or cease our activities.  We may encounter difficulty in obtaining these funds and/or credit lines.  Moreover, even if additional financing or credit lines were to become available, it is possible that the cost of such funds or credit would be high and possibly prohibitive.





Your share ownership will be diluted if we issue shares for capital raising purposes.





A large portion of our financing to date has been through the issuance of shares or through equity financing.  There can be no assurances that we will become self-sufficient.  Therefore, we may continue to issue shares to further the business, and existing shareholders may suffer a dilutive effect on the price of their shares as well as a loss of voting power in the Company.





We operate in a new and uncertain market.





Until now, muscle injuries have always been diagnosed and evaluated subjectively by physicians through physical examination.  Accordingly, there is no established demand for a computer assisted procedure to assist in the diagnosis of such injuries, and it is difficult to predict if, and when, the procedure will gain wide acceptance by prescribers.  A prerequisite to our success will be our ability to establish MPR as a standard medical practice for use in the diagnosis of muscle dysfunction.  We believe it will take a minimum of three to five years for such awareness to be achieved, if it can be achieved at all.  Factors that may affect market acceptance could include resistance to change, concerns over the lack of track record of the procedure, and the risk for insurance companies to use the results of the procedure to challenge or overrule the diagnostic or treatment decisions of a physician.




22





We may not be able to protect important intellectual property, and we could incur substantial costs defending against claims that our products infringe on the proprietary rights of others.





We currently hold one United States patent on the MPR technology.  While we believe that we have a proprietary position for our product, we believe that our ability to be successful will be contingent on our ability to protect the MPR technology, its future developments and its know-how.  There can be no assurance, however, that this patent will provide substantial protection of the MPR technology or that its validity will not be challenged.  We could incur substantial costs in prosecuting or defending patent infringement suits or otherwise protecting our intellectual property rights.  While we have attempted to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, we do not know whether we have been or will be completely successful in doing so.





We presently have no patent protection of the MPR technology outside the United States.





We have only developed a single product and we have not made commercial sales of that product.  The failure of such product to achieve market acceptance would result in our having to raise additional funds for research and development for new products.





Since our incorporation, we have been involved in the research and development of a single product: the Muscle Pattern Recognition System.  The MPR System uses patented technology to analyze muscle function in the back and neck.  To date, we have achieved no sales of this product and it has yet to achieve market acceptance.  Unless we are able to successfully market the MPR System, we will need to raise additional funds to engage in the research and development of new products. We may be unable to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We have a limited operating history and will continue to incur costs in launching our products.





We may not be able to grow at a rapid pace.





There is no established demand for the MPR System and we may be unable to create such a demand.  We cannot predict whether or not the MPR System will gain acceptance by doctors, chiropractors or other health professionals. In the event we are unable to create such acceptance, we will be unable to achieve significant revenues and may have to raise additional funds for research and development of additional products.





Our management controls a substantial percentage of our stock and therefore has the ability to exercise substantial control over our affairs.





As of the date of December 31, 2010, our directors and executive officers owned or controlled an aggregate of 12,978,003 shares, or approximately 35.4%, of our outstanding common stock.  Because of the large percentage of stock held by our directors and executive officers, these persons could influence the outcome of any matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders and resist any takeover bids, thereby precluding our stockholders from receiving a premium bid price on their common stock.





The loss of our executive officers and certain other key personnel could hurt our business.





Our success wholly depends upon the personal efforts and abilities of our executive officers, Steeve Asselin, Warren Baker, Wayne Cockburn, Alan Goldman and Karl Wolcott.  The loss of or unavailability of the services of any one of these individuals would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects and/or potential earning capacity.





We may not be able to hire and retain qualified personnel.





Competition for qualified personnel in the healthcare industry is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.  Failure to attract qualified personnel could harm the proposed growth of our business. In addition, companies in our industry whose employees accept positions with competitors frequently claim that the competitors have engaged in unfair hiring practices.  We may receive such notices in the future as we seek to hire qualified personnel and such notices may result in material litigation and related disruption to our operations.




23





Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.





There may be risks associated with our becoming public through a “reverse merger.”  Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us because there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock.  We cannot assure you that brokerage firms will ever want to conduct any secondary offerings on our behalf.





The limited prior public market and trading market may cause possible volatility in our stock price.





To date, there has only been a limited public market for our securities and there can be no assurance that we can attain an active trading market for our securities.  Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the ticker symbol, IMSU.OB.  The OTCBB is an unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the national securities exchanges.





Quotes for securities quoted on the OTCBB are not listed in the financial sections of newspapers as are those for the national securities exchanges.  Moreover, in recent years, the overall market for securities has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of many smaller companies.  The trading price of our common stock is expected to be subject to significant fluctuations including, but not limited to, the following:





·
Quarterly variations in operating results and achievement of key business metrics;




·
Changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts, if any;




·
Any differences between reported results and securities analysts’ published or unpublished expectations;




·
Announcements of new products by us or our competitors;




·
Market reaction to any acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic investments announced by us or our competitors;




·
Demand for our products;




·
Shares sold pursuant to Rule 144 or upon exercise of warrants and options; and




·
General economic or stock market conditions unrelated to our operating performance.




These fluctuations, as well as general economic and market conditions, may have a material or adverse affect on the market price of our common stock.





The OTCBB is a quotation system, not an issuer listing service, market or exchange.  Therefore, buying and selling stock on the OTCBB is not as efficient as buying and selling stock through an exchange.  As a result, it may be difficult for you to sell your common stock or you may not be able to sell your common stock for an optimum trading price.





The OTCBB executes trades and quotations using a manual process and cannot guarantee the market information for securities.  In some instances, quote information, or even firm quotes, may not be available.  The OTCBB’s manual execution process may delay order processing and as a result, a limit order may fail to execute or a market order may execute at a significantly different price due to intervening price fluctuations.  Trade execution, execution reporting and legal trade confirmation delivery may be delayed significantly. Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at the optimum trading prices.




24





OTCBB securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation not only because of their generally low price, but also because the OTCBB reporting requirements for these securities are less stringent than for listed or Nasdaq traded securities, and no exchange requirements are imposed.  Dealers may dominate the market and set prices that are not based on competitive forces.  Individuals or groups may create fraudulent markets and control the sudden, sharp increase of price and trading volume and the equally sudden collapse of the market price for shares of our common stock.


When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTCBB, the security’s market price may become increasingly volatile and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information.  Due to lower trading volumes of our common stock, there may be a lower likelihood that one's orders for our common stock will be executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the price one was quoted by the OTCBB at the time of one's order entry.





Orders for OTCBB securities may be canceled or edited like orders for other securities.  All requests to change or cancel an order must be submitted to, received and processed by the OTCBB.  As mentioned earlier in this document, the OTCBB executes trades using a manual process, which could cause delays in order processing and reporting, and could hamper one’s ability to cancel or edit one's order.  Consequently, selling shares of our common stock at the optimum trading prices may be impossible.





The dealer's spread (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large and may result in substantial losses to the seller of our common stock on the OTCBB if the stock must be sold immediately.  Further, purchasers of our common stock may incur an immediate "paper" loss due to the price spread. Moreover, dealers may not have a bid price for our common stock on the OTCBB. Due to the foregoing factors, demand for our common stock on the OTCBB may be decreased or eliminated.





Our common stock is considered a “penny stock.”  The application of the “penny stock” rules to our common stock could limit the trading and liquidity of the common stock, adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.





The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  As a result, our shares of common stock are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established clients and “accredited investors”.  For transactions governed by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities, must obtain the purchaser's written consent to the transaction, and must deliver to the purchaser a SEC-mandated, penny stock risk disclosure document, all prior to the purchase.  The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market.  Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.  Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our shares of common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell such shares of common stock in the secondary market and may affect the price at which investors can sell such shares.





Investors should be aware that the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse, according to the Commission. Such patterns include:





·
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;


·
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;


·
“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;


·
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and


·
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.




25




Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.





Future sales of our common stock could put downward selling pressure on our common stock, and adversely affect the per share price.  There is a risk that this downward pressure may make it impossible for an investor to sell shares of common stock at any reasonable price, if at all.





From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act), subject to certain limitations.  In general, Rule 144 permits the unlimited sale of securities by our stockholders that are non-affiliates that have satisfied a six month holding period and affiliates of our Company may sell within any three month period a number of securities that does not exceed 1% of our then outstanding shares of common stock.  Any substantial sale of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have material adverse effect on the market price of our securities.





Limitations on director and officer liability and our indemnification of officers and directors may discourage shareholders from bringing suit against a director.





Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide, with certain exceptions as permitted by governing Delaware law, that a director or officer shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or unlawful payments of dividends.  These provisions may discourage shareholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by shareholders on our behalf against a director. In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.





We may experience difficulties in the future in complying with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404.





In this Annual Report, we are required to evaluate our internal controls under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal penalties and/or stockholder litigation.  Any inability to provide reliable financial reports could harm our business.  Furthermore, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation of adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.





If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls in future periods, it could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and our ability to run our business effectively and could cause investors to lose confidence in our financial reporting.

Controls and Procedures.





Disclosure Controls and Procedures





Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.





Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting





iTech Medical’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  As required by Rule 13a-15(c) under the Exchange Act, iTech Medical’s management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of iTech Medical’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the last fiscal year.  The framework on which such evaluation was based is contained in the report entitled “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO Report”).





iTech Medical’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.





Based on its assessment, management has concluded that iTech Medical maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework”issued by the COSO.





Change in Internal Controls





There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.





Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm





This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM





To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of iTech Medical, Inc. (Formerly known as Impact Medical Solutions, Inc)





We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of iTech Medical, Inc. (formerly known as Impact Medical Solutions, Inc), a development stage company (the "Company") as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2010and from October 20, 1997 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.





We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.





In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of iTech Medical, Inc. (Formerly known as Impact Medical Solutions, Inc)as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of two the years ended December 31, 2010 , and from October 20, 1997 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.





The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Company has not recognized any revenue since inception and has a shareholders’ deficit of $14,666,271. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(Formerly known as Impact Medical Solutions, Inc.)


(A Development Stage Company)


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


December 31, 2010





1.             Organization and summary of significant accounting policies





Organization and Line of Business


iTech Medical, Inc. (a development stage company) (the "Company") was incorporated in Nevada on October 20, 1997.  From October 1997 to September 2003, the Company was a shell corporation.  On September 9, 2003, the Company acquired from MPR Health Systems, Inc., all of that company’s rights and assets, including a patent, relating to a medical information system called Muscle Pattern Recognition (“MPR”).  See Note 7.  Since 2003,  the Company has been involved in the development and pre-market clinical testing of the MPR system.





On January 22, 2010 the Company entered into a research and development contract with Salus Research, Inc. (“Salus”), a Canadian entity owned by a Company officer and two members of the Company’s Board of Directors.  Salus began conducting scientific research and experimental development activities in Canada ("SR&ED") and plans to claim for Canadian Scientific Research and Experimental Development tax credits.  The Company funds 100% of these expenditures, is at risk for 100% of its losses and owns 100% of all scientific discoveries, and as a result is the party that is the primary beneficiary of the relationship as defined by FASB ASC 810-10-05.  Salus has no financing other than amounts received from the Company.  The Company has determined Salus to be a variable interest entity.  Starting in January 2010 the Company has consolidated the financial results of Salus for financial reporting purposes to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.  During 2010, the Company remitted CND$640,000 to Salus to fund scientific research and experimental development and is obligated to remit an additional CND$452,000 through June 2011.





Principles of Consolidation and Reporting





The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Salus.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.





Development Stage Company


The Company is a development stage company as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915,Development Stage Entities.  The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business, and its planned principal operations have not yet commenced.  The Company has not generated any material revenues throughout its history.  The Company's ability to continue in business is dependent upon obtaining sufficient financing or attaining future profitable operations.





Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) that contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,908,668 and $3,413,454, respectively.  The Company has not earned any revenue since inception.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.





Recovery of the Company's assets is dependent upon future events, the outcome of which is indeterminable. In addition, successful completion of the Company's clinical development program and its transition to the attainment of profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company's cost structure.  In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements and the success of its plans to sell its products.  On March 19, 2010, the Company entered into a financing agreement with a European investor for $2.2 million of equity financing over the next 12 months.  The investor has the option to provide another $1.0 million of equity financing during the following six months (See Note 8).  The Company intends to seeking additional financing over the next year through private placements.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising such additional funds.  The Company may also seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash.




F-9





Cash and cash equivalents, other cash flow statement supplemental information and concentration of risk


The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.  Balances in bank accounts may, from time to time, exceed insured limits.  The Company believes that its loss exposure is limited due to quality of the financial institutions that hold its deposits.





Income taxes of $1,721 and $959 were paid in 2010 and 2009, respectively.  No interest payments were made in 2010 and 2009.





Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.





Furniture and Equipment


Furniture and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is 5 years.





Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized.  When furniture and equipment are retired or disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss on such disposition is reflected in operations.





Patent


Patent consists of U.S. Patent No. 6,280,395 and legal fees incurred in maintaining the patent for the Company's product.  These costs are amortized over a period of seventeen years using the straight-line method.




Long-lived assets


Long-lived assets (primarily furniture and equipment and patents) are reviewed annually for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Impairment is necessary when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset.





Research and Development Costs


Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development.





Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method required by ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities and the returns for years 2006 – 2009 are still open.




F-10





Share-based payments


Compensation costs for all share-based awards to employees and consultantsare measured based on the grant date fair value of those awards and recognized over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for the award (generally over the vesting period of the award).  The Company has no awards with market or performance conditions.  Excess tax benefits are recognized as an addition to additional paid-in-capital.





Share-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period.  Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  Based on the Company’s historical experience, the Company expects no forfeitures.





Total share-based compensation expenses recognized for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $217,184 and $0, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  The incremental share-based compensation caused our net loss to increase by the same amounts. Compensation expenses of $22,049, representing the unvested awards as of December 31, 2010 will be recognized in the first two quarters of 2011.





Since the Company has a net operating loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010, no excess tax benefits for the tax deductions related to share-based awards were recognized in the statement of operations.  Additionally, no incremental tax benefits were recognized from stock options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 that would have resulted in a reclassification to reduce net cash provided by operating activities with an offsetting increase in net cash provided by financing activities.  Share-based compensation expense also caused the basic and diluted loss per share to increase by $.01 in 2010.





The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: term of 9-10 years; risk-free interest rate of 3.5%; volatility of 181% – 187%; and weighted fair value of $.2486 - $.2493.





Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with US GAAP.  For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.  The amounts shown for note payable and loans from related parties also approximate fair value because current interest rates offered to the Company for notes payable of similar maturities are substantially the same.





Valuation Hierarchy


ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the use of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date:





Level 1.     Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.  Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative financial instruments actively traded on exchanges, as well as U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are actively traded in highly liquid over the counter markets.





Level 2.     Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are observable or can be corroborated, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.  Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt instruments that are traded less frequently than exchange traded securities and derivative instruments whose model inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by market observable data. Examples in this category are certain variable and fixed rate non-agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.




F-11





Level 3.     Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable but significant to the fair value measurement.  Examples in this category include interests in certain securitized financial assets, certain private equity investments, and derivative contracts that are highly structured or long-dated.





Determination of Fair Value


During 2010 and 2009, the Company issued warrants with notes payable and for the extension of loan due dates.  These warrants were valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes method, a level 3 input.  Further details of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes calculation may be found in Note 8.





The carrying value approximates the fair value of the notes in 2009 and 2010. The Company determined the value of its notes using a market interest rate and the value of the warrants issued at the time of the transaction less the accretion.  There is no active market for the debt and the value was based on the delayed payment terms in addition to other facts and circumstances at the end of each year end.





Net Loss Per Share


Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include dilutive options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period.  None of the outstanding options or warrants were included in the computation of loss per share because they were anti-dilutive.





Recent accounting pronouncements


In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140"(ASC 860).  This standard improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.  This standard is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  The Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and adoption had no impact on these consolidated financial statements.





In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)" (ASC 810).  This standard improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities (VIE) and is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  Among other things, the new guidance requires a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE; requires continuous assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; enhances disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE; and amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE.  Under the new guidance, a VIE must be consolidated if the enterprise has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  The Company believes that the adoption of this guidance does have an impact on the Company's financial statements in connection with its relationship with an entity named Salus Research Inc. (“Salus”), a Canadian entity formed in 2010 and owned by an executive officer and two directors of the Company.  Accordingly, the financial results of Salus have been consolidated with those of the Company beginning January 2010.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-13, "Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force" (ASU 2009-13).  This update provides amendments to the criteria of ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition," for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements.  The amendments to this update establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable.  This update will be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted.  Alternatively, an entity can elect to adopt this standard on a retrospective basis.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on its financial position and results of operations upon adoption.





In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, an update that improves the requirements related to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Subtopic 820-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification originally issued as FASB Statement 157.  This update requires disclosures about transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 assets and the disaggregated activity in the roll forward for level 3 Fair Value measurements.  These new disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and adoption had no impact on these consolidated financial statements.


On August 27, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announced that it will issue for comment a proposed roadmap regarding the potential use by U.S. issuers of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").  IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board.  Under the proposed roadmap, the Company could be required in fiscal 2014 to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and the SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS.  The Company has not yet assessed the impact that this potential change would have on its financial statements.

4.           Loans from related parties





Since 2007, the Company has borrowed funds from some of its executive officers, directors and shareholders to fund operations.  The following provides information on each of these loans including the name of the lender, the year the funds were borrowed, the annual rate of interest, the maturity date (including extensions), the consideration for the loan and the fair value of the consideration.





For information concerning the terms of the warrants discussed in this Note, see Note 8.  The fair value of all warrants was determined as of the time of issuance using the Black-Scholes valuation method and was reflected as a discount on the related loan in the accompanying financial statements and was amortized over the original life of the loan as an interest expense.  All interest has been accrued and remains unpaid.





Angelidis Loan


During 2007, the Company borrowed $25,000 from George Angelidis, one of its directors.  This loan bears interest at 10% per annum with a maturity date of June 1, 2007.  As additional consideration for the loan, the Company issued to Mr. Angelis 25,000 Series A Warrants with fair value of $11,291.From time to time thereafter the Company issued to Mr. Angelides Warrants to extend the maturity date of the loan.  In September 2009, Mr. Angelidis agreed to convert the principal amount of the loan into shares of common stock at a rate of $0.30 per share for a total of 83,333 shares.





Berndsen 2007 Loans


During 2007, the Company borrowed $100,000 from Frans Berndsen, a shareholder.  During the second quarter, $65,000 of this loan was treated as a 12% convertible note payable as described in Note 5. As such, as additional consideration for the loan, the Company issued to Mr. Berndsen 32,500 Series B Warrants, and a total debt discount of $23,599 was recorded to be amortized over the life of the loan.  On September 27, 2007 the Company and Mr. Berndsen agreed there had been a misunderstanding and restructured the loan.  The original $65,000 loan was restructured to modify the original terms, as well as for the remaining $35,000 that the Company received in the third quarter of 2007 and for which the Company had issued an additional 17,500 Series B Warrants as consideration for the loan..





These loans bear interest at 10% per annum and matured on September 27, 2007, the restructuring date. The 50,000 Series B Warrants previously issued were cancelled and the Company issued to Mr. Berndsen 100,000 Series B Warrants with a fair value of $44,154.  The future cash payments of the new loan exceed the carrying value of the loan as of the restructuring date, so no gain was recorded.





In April 2009, Mr. Berndsen agreed to convert the principal of $100,000 and accrued interest of $22,807 on the loan, and other accrued liabilities of $45,000 into 984,964 shares of common stock valued at $.30 per share.  This transaction resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $127,682, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.





On January 26, 2010, the Company borrowed $125,000 from Mr. Berndsen.  This loan bears no interest and had a maturity date of January 26, 2011.  On July 7, 2010, Mr. Berndsen agreed to convert the loan into 500,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $200,000 and 1,000,000 Series E Warrants with a fair value of $272,843.  The excess of the total fair value of the common stock and these warrants over the debt obligation amounted to $347,843 and has been accounted for as shareholder compensation expense in the statement of operations for the year ended December31, 2010.

In addition to the common stock, with each monthly purchase Revox will receive Series G-1 Warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares purchased.




Provided that Revox has timely delivered the purchase price for each monthly purchase in Phase II (with one exception of no more than eight business days), upon the last purchase under Phase II, we will issue to it: (i) 1,000,000 Series G-2 Warrant; and (ii) 1,000,000 Series G-3 Warrants.




In addition, if during Phase I or Phase II, the Company issues common stock for cash (other than upon exercise of compensatory options) for less than the purchase price paid by Revox for shares in that Phase, it will receive additional shares of common stock to reduce its effective purchase price per share to the lower price and the exercise price of the warrants will be proportionately reduced.




Under the Agreement, the Company may not sell equity securities prior to the earlier of the last day of Phase II or December 31, 2011 unless it first offers to sell such equity securities to Revox in accordance with the Agreement.  This right of first refusal is not applicable in a number of circumstances, including with respect to equity securities offered or issued for compensatory purposes; for consideration other than cash or notes; in certain public offerings; in connection with certain joint venture or strategic arrangements; or if Revox Ventures is in breach or default under the Agreement.




Revox has the option to pay for each monthly purchase in either United States dollars or Euros.  The dollar/Euro purchase prices under the Agreement were established based on the United States dollar/Euro exchange rate on December 5, 2009.  Revox will almost certainly pay the purchase price in the more favorable currency, and if the Company receives payment in Euros and upon conversion to United States dollars it receives less than the stated purchase price in United States dollars, it will record such difference as a currency loss.

2008 Equity Incentive Plan. In February 2008, the Company adopted the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”).  The purpose of the 2008 Plan is to attract, retain, and motivate certain directors, officers, employees and consultants by giving them incentives which are linked directly to increases in the value of the common stock of the Company.  The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2008 Plan is 1,000,000, subject to certain adjustment to prevent dilution.  Any shares of common stock subject to an award, which for any reason expires or terminates unexercised, are again available for issuance under the 2008 Plan.  Grants under the 2008 Plan are exercisable at the market value of the Company’s stock on the date of such grant.  All options granted under the 2008 Plan are exercisable at times as determined by the board of directors, not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant.





To date, the only equity awards under the 2008 Plan have been options.

Income taxes





The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of its assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when deemed appropriate.  For 2010 and 2009 there are no material differences between income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate.





At December 31, 2010, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward for federal tax purposes of approximately $13,185,000, which, if unused to offset future taxable income, will begin to expire in 2023.  The Company also has a California net operating loss carryforward of approximately $13,187,000 which, if unused to offset future taxable income, will begin to expire in 2013.





The Company had deferred tax assets of $5,750,000 at December 31, 2010, relating to its net operating loss.  A valuation allowance has been recognized to offset the entire related deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefit.  The valuation allowance increased $1,670,000 in 2010 and $1,210,000 in 2009, primarily related to the net taxable loss and to change in estimate for certain deductions.




F-22





The Company’s ability to utilize their U.S. Net Operating Losses may be limited by the change in control provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.





At December 31, 2010, Salus Research has a net operating loss carryforward for federal tax purposes of approximately $3,343 available to reduce future years’ income tax. These losses, if not utilized, will begin to expire through 2030.  Future tax benefits, which may arise as a result of these non-capital losses, have not been recognized in these financial statements.
