FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Portions of this Form 10-Q, including disclosure under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation,” contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. You should not unduly rely on these statements. Forward-looking statements involve assumptions and describe our plans, strategies,
and expectations. You can generally identify a forward-looking statement by words such as may, will, should, expect, anticipate, estimate, believe, intend, contemplate or project. Factors, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others,
· |
our ability to raise capital, |
· |
our ability obtain and retain customers, |
· |
our ability to provide our products and services at competitive rates, |
· |
our ability to execute our business strategy in a very competitive environment, |
· |
our degree of financial leverage, |
· |
risks associated with our acquiring and integrating companies into our own, |

· |
the impact of competitive services, |
· |
other risks referenced from time to time in our SEC filings. |
With respect to any forward-looking statement that includes a statement of its underlying assumptions or bases, we caution that, while we believe such assumptions or bases to be reasonable and have formed them in good faith, assumed facts or bases almost always vary from actual results, and the differences between assumed facts or bases and
actual results can be material depending on the circumstances. When, in any forward-looking statement, we or our management express an expectation or belief as to future results, that expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and is believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the stated expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or anyone acting on our behalf, are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. We do not undertake any obligations to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect unanticipated events that may occur.

ARRAYIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Arrayit Corporation (the “Company” or “Arrayit”) is a Nevada Corporation, formerly known as TeleChem International, Inc., that entered into the life sciences in 1996. Arrayit is a leading edge developer, manufacturer and marketer of next-generation life science tools and integrated systems for the large scale
analysis of genetic variation, biological function and diagnostics. Using Arrayit’s proprietary technologies, the Company provides a comprehensive line of products and services that currently serve the sequencing, genotyping, gene expression and protein analysis markets, and the Company expects to enter the market for molecular diagnostics.
Arrayit has earned respect as a leader in the health care and life sciences industries with its proven expertise in three key areas: the development and support of microarray tools and components, custom printing and analysis of microarrays for research, and the identification and development of diagnostic microarrays and tools
for early detection of treatable disease states. As a result, Arrayit has provided tools and services to thousands of the leading genomic research centers, pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, clinical research organizations, government agencies and biotechnology companies worldwide.
The Company’s patented tools and trade secrets provide researchers around the world with the performance, throughput, cost effectiveness and flexibility necessary to perform the billions of genetic tests needed to extract valuable medical information. The Company believes this information will enable researchers to correlate genetic
variation and biological function, which will enhance drug discovery, drug development and clinical research, allowing diseases to be detected earlier and permitting better choices of drugs for individual patients.
Effective Thursday, March 19, 2009, the final steps of the business combination with Integrated Media Holdings, Inc. were completed and the Company’s common stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Boards as “ARYC”. In addition, the Company changed its name to “Arrayit Corporation”, was reincorporated to Nevada
from Delaware, and reverse-split its common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred stock in the ratio of one for thirty shares. The reverse split was only applicable to the Company’s Class “A” Preferred shares and its Common Shares. The Class “C” Preferred Shares were not affected by the reverse split. The reverse split had no effect upon the convertible debt “Oral Agreements” which fixed the amount of shares to be issued at 12,478,357
both pre and post split. As the March 19, 2009 Directors Resolution did not change the authorized share capital of the Company, the authorized number of Common Shares was reduced from 100,000,000 to 3,333,333. The Directors approved the reverse split to create a more orderly market for the trading of its Common Shares on the OTC BB.
The effects of the Reverse Stock Split have been reflected retroactively in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for all periods presented.
Interim financial statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’
equity in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Arrayit’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated
financial statements, which would, substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2008 as reported in Form 10-K have been omitted.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements reflect the consolidated results of Arrayit Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (enumerate wholly owned entities). All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Use of Estimates
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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes all cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Arrayit reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable. Arrayit evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of future undiscounted net
cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over the estimated remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred based on expected cash flows, such loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost determined on the basis of FIFO.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss are transferred to customers upon delivery based on terms of sale and collectiblity is reasonably assured.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling costs paid to vendors are recorded as cost of sales.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows accounting guidance relating to fair value measurements. This guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the unobservable inputs.
The fair value of the Company’s notes payable and derivative liability approximates stated value. The notes payable fair value is based on Level 2 inputs and the derivative liability fair value based on Level 3 inputs. See notes 6 and 7.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company records an allowance for estimated losses on customer accounts. The allowance is increased by a provision for bad debts, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
Patent Costs
Costs incurred with registering and defending patent technology are charged to expense as incurred.
Income Taxes
Prior to February 21, 2008, the financial statements of TeleChem did not include a provision for Income Taxes because the taxable income of Telechem was included in the Income Tax Returns of the Stockholders under the Internal Revenue Service "S" Corporation elections.
Upon completion of the February 21, 2008 transaction with IMHI as more fully described in Note 1, TeleChem ceased to be treated as an "S" Corporation for Income Tax purposes. Effective February 21, 2008, Arrayit Corporation became a Nevada “C”
Corporation.
Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are not recognized unless it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized in future years.
The Company applies the provisions of income tax accounting for uncertainty in income taxes which prescribe a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position
must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
When applicable, the Company will include interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
The computation of basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus common stock equivalents which would arise from the
exercise of options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year. Options, warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock which are common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations when their effect is anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock issued to employees, officers and directors in accordance with accounting standards for share-based payments which requires all new share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.
Statement of Cash Flows
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, cash flows provided (used) by operating activities approximates net income (loss) and the net change in cash.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding accounting and disclosures related to the fair value measurement of liabilities. The new guidance establishes valuation techniques in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. Additionally, it clarifies
appropriate valuation techniques when restrictions exist that prevent the transfer of liabilities measured at fair value. Finally, it provides further guidance on the classification of liabilities measured at fair value within the fair value hierarchy. The new guidance is effective for interim periods ending after August 26, 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” an amendment of FAS 140. FAS 140 is intended to improve 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 statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 166 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. FAS 167 is intended to (1) address the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity
concept in FAS 166, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provided timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption
of FAS 167 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. FAS 168 will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive
releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending
after September 15, 2009.The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 168 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued FAS 165, “Subsequent Events”. This pronouncement establishes standards for accounting for and disclosing subsequent events (events which occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued). FAS 165 requires and entity to disclose the date subsequent
events were evaluated and whether that evaluation took place on the date financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance requiring companies to disclose information about fair value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. Prior to this guidance, fair value for these assets and liabilities was only disclosed
annually. The guidance requires all entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. In periods after initial adoption, the guidance requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations
or financial position.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance regarding the determination of fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. The new guidance provides for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or
liability have significantly decreased in relation to normal market activity. Additionally, the new guidance identifies circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The new guidance requires interim disclosures of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value reflecting changes in the valuation techniques and related inputs. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and is to be applied prospectively.
The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
NOTE 3- GOING CONCERN
Arrayit has a working capital deficit of $9,905,821, a stockholders' deficit of $9,949,074, and recurring net losses. These factors create substantial doubt about Arrayit’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Arrayit is unable to continue
as a going concern.
The ability of Arrayit to continue as a going concern is dependent on Arrayit generating cash from the sale of its common stock or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management's plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations;
however, there can be no assurance Arrayit will be successful in these efforts.
NOTE 4 – CASH AND RESTRICTED CASH
Cash on hand and bank overdrafts represent cash that may freely be used in the conduct of our business.
Restricted cash is comprised of a $100,000 Certificate of Deposit plus accrued interest lodged with our bankers as security for a $100,000 letter of deposit we were mandated to lodge with the Pennsylvania court, as part of the Pediatrix legal action more fully described in Note 9. Upon finalization of the legal action, the letter
of credit will be returned and the bankers will release the restrictions on the Certificate of Deposit.
NOTE 5 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SOLD WITH RECOURSE
Pursuant to an agreement dated July 5, 2007, the Company has sold some of its Accounts Receivable to a financial institution with full recourse. The financial institution retains a 15% portion of the proceeds from the receivable sales as reserves, which are released to the Company as the Receivables are collected. The
maximum commitment under this facility is $450,000, and is limited to receivables that are less than 31 days outstanding. The facility bears interest at prime plus 7% currently 10.25% at September 30, 2009, and is secured by an unconditional guarantee of the Company and a first charge against the Accounts Receivable. At September 30, 2009 the balance outstanding under the recourse contracts was $312,334. This amount is reflected on the balance sheet as a reduction in accounts receivable. Because
of the Company’s credit policies, repossession losses and refunds in the event of default have not been significant and losses under the present recourse obligations are not expected to be significant, it is at least reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate will change within the near term.

Predecessor Debt in Default not covered by Oral Agreements
The Company continues to be responsible for Predecessor Debt, in default, of the IMHI predecessor company that is not covered by the Oral Agreements described in Note 7 to these Financial Statements. The debt not covered by said Oral Agreements may be summarized as follows:
|
September 30, 2009 |
Note payable to Dorn & Associates, in conjunction with a 2005 funding. Payable in 36 monthly instalments of $890 at an interest rate of 5%. The Company is presently in default of the payment terms on this note, and has classified the entire note balance as current. These notes are unsecured. |
|
$ |
25,177 |
|
Convertible notes due to a former officer and shareholder of the Company, arising from a series of advances during fiscal; 2003. These notes bear interest at 12%, are unsecured, and due on demand. The Company is presently in default of the payment terms on these notes. The notes are convertible into approximately 10,251 shares at approximately
$8.00 per share. |
|
|
74,174 |
|
TOTAL PREDECESSOR DEBT IN DEFAULT |
|
$ |
99,351 |
|
At September 30, 2009 $99,351 being the Dorn note and the Former Officer note are in default. No action has been taken by the note holders to assert their rights to collect the amounts in default, and the terms of the notes do not provide for any penalties or higher interest rates once the notes are in default. The note
due to a former officer is convertible into 10,251 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Warrants
In January 2008, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock. The Company evaluated the convertible debentures and the warrants under accounting standards for accounting for derivatives" and accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to and potentially settled in a company's own stock".
The Company determined that the warrants qualified as free standing derivatives as the Company is unable to determine with certainty they will have enough shares available to settle any and all outstanding common stock equivalent instruments. The Company would be required to obtain shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares needed to share settle those contracts. Because increasing the number of shares authorized is outside of the Company’s control, this results in these
instruments being classified as liabilities.
The fair value of the derivative instruments – warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions as of September 30, 2009:

The estimated market value of the stock is measured each period end and is based reported public market prices. |
(2) |
The risk-free interest rate was estimated by management using the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield over the contractual term of the warrant on date of grant. |
(3) |
The volatility factor was estimated by management using the Company’s historical volatilities of its stock price. |
|
(4) |
Management estimated the dividend yield at 0% based upon its expectation that there will not be earnings available to pay dividends in the near term.
|
|
As the Warrant Agreement contained an anti-dilution clause, no recognition was given to the subsequent Reverse Stock Split of 30 to 1 which took place on March 22, 2009.
NOTE 7 - DEBT MODIFICATION
In 2008, Cloud Capital entered into a formal custodial arrangement with 16 participants. Cloud has no discretionary power and acts solely as custodian taking direction from each participant. Each participant lodged a basket of securities with the custodian made up of common, convertible preferred and convertible debt
at the time of the IMHI acquisition of TeleChem on February 21, 2008.
In January 2008, the Company entered into an oral agreement with each of the participants whereby the participant agreed to a fixed number of shares for their "basket" of securities. However, On February 20, 2009 the participants became discouraged with the efforts of the company to complete the regulatory filings and requested that the
original oral agreement be abrogated. The Company then came to a new oral agreement with each of the participants that included the following:
(a) All prior agreements are now null and void. This includes both the predecessor Oral as well as the predecessor Written agreements.
(b) The quantum of shares being made available to the 16 participants will be fixed at 12,478,357.
(c) The 18,695 common shares, held by the participants, are issued and outstanding and will be not be affected by the new oral agreement.
( d) The 2,926,787 pre-split, (97,560 post-split) series A preferred shares will be surrendered for cancellation without compensation by each of the participants.
(e) The debt of $1,993,450 and estimated penalty and interest of $1,555,750 for a total approximation of $3,549,200 will be converted into 12,478,357 common shares being a fixed number of common shares regardless of the interest and penalties that continue to accrue.
(f) Due to the lack of sufficient authorized capital only 2,712,500 common shares were available for conversion on March 13, 2009 and March 16, 2009.
(g) Interest and penalties cease to accrue on the debt and therefore no additional penalties or interest will become payable.
(h)The Oral Agreements constitute a formal waiver of any prior and future defaults on the underlying debt, thereby preventing the debt holders from asserting any rights and / or remedies they previously were entitled to under the written agreements.
It is the intention of the 16 debt holders and the Company that the debt will be converted into common shares, as soon a practical. Currently, the company does not have sufficient authorized share capital to satisfy this obligation, and therefore the debt may not be converted. Management is not able to practically estimate
when it will have sufficient authorized share capital as this lies outside the control of the company.
For greater certainty and as outlined in item (e) above, as a result of these Oral Agreements there will be no effect upon the company of the continuing defaults or of any changes in interest rates. The Oral Agreements fix the number of shares to be issued upon conversion regardless of any additional interest and penalties
which may have been due under the originating documents that are now superseded by the Oral Agreements.
On March 13, 2009, the date of Debt Modification, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $20,996,593 as a result of insufficient authorized shares to satisfy the debt settlement according to accounting standards for accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities and revalued the liability by recording a loss on derivative
liability of $19,021,116.
The gain of $2,533,652, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, was primarily due to the decrease in the OTCBB market value of the Company’s shares from $0.52 used to determine the derivative liability at the end of the June 30, 2009 (the Company’s second quarter) and the $0.29 used to determine the derivative liability
at the end of September 30, 2009 (the Company’s current reporting period).
The 97,560 preferred series “A” shares held by the Oral Agreement debt holders were cancelled subsequent to the debt settlement.

Unauthorized Common Stock Issuance
On or about July 13, 2009 it came to the attention of the Company that Standard Registrar & Transfer Company, Inc., of Draper, Utah, the Company’s stock transfer agent, in error and without authorization from the Company issued 190,770 common stock of the Company. It would appear that Standard received certificates from
shareholders that existed prior to the March 22, 2009 30:1 reverse stock split, and negligently did re-issue certificates for the same number of shares as the original certificate, rather than re-issuing certificates for one-thirtieth of the face value of the surrendered certificate. In doing so, the Transfer Agent effectively issued additional shares to a select number of shareholders.
The consequences of said error, made by Standard Registrar & Transfer Company, Inc., are as follows:
1) |
the Company has issued 153,246 shares in excess of the number of shares authorized by the Secretary of State for Nevada, which is not permitted by state law. |
2) |
The Company received no consideration for the issuance of said shares |
3) |
Some shareholders have been unduly enriched. |
4) |
The shares were issued without registration with the Securities Exchange Commission. |
The Company has been unable to resolve this issue with its transfer agent and has engaged legal counsel to commence action to (1) force Standard Registrar to purchase, in the open market, for cancelation the 190,770 issued by them in error, and (2) to have Standard Registrar contact each shareholder who received excess shares in
error and have said shareholders either return the shares for cancelation if they still hold the shares, or disengorge the profits they incorrectly received.
Convertible Preferred Stock
The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated dividend rate and has a liquidation preference of $.001 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock also has voting rights that entitle the preferred shareholders to vote with the common shareholders as if the preferred stock had converted to common. Both the conversion ratio of the preferred into common
and the number of shares outstanding is subject to revision upon reverse stock dividends or splits that reduce the total shares outstanding.
Subsequent to the debt settlement described in Note 7 above, 97,560 shares of Preferred A have been surrendered to and cancelled by the Company.
The Series C Preferred Stock has no stated dividend rate. The Series C Preferred Stock also has voting rights that entitle the preferred shareholders to vote with the common shareholders as if the preferred stock had converted to common. The conversion ratio of the preferred into common is not subject to revision upon reverse stock
dividends or splits that reduce the total shares outstanding.
The 103,143 Series C Preferred Stock was issued on February 21, 2008 as part of the merger with TeleChem. These Series C Preferred shares are convertible into 36,100,000 common shares at the rate of 350:1.
On August 15, 2008 the articles of designation for the Series C Preferred Stock were amended to limit the conversion to common to shares to 10% of the holders’ original holdings in any quarter.
NOTE 9 -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Pediatrix Screening, Inc., et al. V. TeleChem International, Inc.
The controversy at issue arose from a failed grant collaboration between Pediatrix and TeleChem, involving TeleChem’s proprietary microarray technology and subsequent agreement by the parties to commercialize this microarray technology through the formation of a joint corporation. Pediatrix brought a lawsuit in the United
States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania alleging multiple claims for breach of contract in connection with both the grant collaboration and Pre-Incorporation Agreement. TeleChem counterclaimed alleging breach of the Pre-Incorporation Agreement, as well as fraudulent misrepresentation and trade secret misappropriation, inter alia , stemming from the failed grant collaboration and subsequent Pre-Incorporation
Agreement.
On August 11, 2007, the jury returned a verdict finding that, while both parties were in breach of contract, Pediatrix also engaged in fraudulent misrepresentation and awarded TeleChem $500,000 in damages and $3,500,000 in punitive damages for the fraudulent misrepresentation claim and $1,000,000 in damages on the breach of contract claim. The
jury also awarded Pediatrix $1,085,000 in damages for Pediatrix’s breach of contract claim against TeleChem.
Pediatrix’s Rule 59 motion to amend the judgment was denied by the District Court. Pediatrix appealed the jury verdict on fraudulent misrepresentation and the $4,000,000 in damages awarded there under to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Pediatrix has indicated that it will not pursue on appeal
the breach of contract verdict and damage award against it. TeleChem did not appeal any portion of the jury verdict.
The appeal is currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The Company continues to wait for the Court to appoint the Appeal Panel.
Unauthorized Stock Issuance
As explained in Note 8, our transfer agent issued 190,770 shares in error. We could be faced by claims from non-affected shareholders to the extent that some shareholders were unduly enriched by the transfer agents error. The State of Nevada could take action against the Company for the issuance of 153,246
shares in excess of our authorized, if we are not able to resolve this issue.
Other Matters
Arrayit may become or is subject to investigations, claims or lawsuits ensuing out of the conduct of its business. Arrayit is currently unable to estimate the loss (if any) related to these matters. Other than the Pediatrix matter referred to above, Arrayit is not aware of any other matters.
NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
At September 30, 2009, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income of approximately $15 million including approximately $11.5 million from Integrated Media Holdings, Inc. at date of the merger. The utilization of the NOL carry-forwards is dependent upon the tax laws in effect at the time
the NOL carry-forwards can be utilized. It is also likely that utilization of the NOL carry-forwards are limited based on changes in control from the merger. A valuation allowance has been recorded against the deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty surrounding its realization caused by the Company’s recurring losses. The NOL carryforwards will expire in 2018.
Prior to merger, the financial statements of TeleChem International, Inc. (”Telechem”) did not include a provision for income taxes because the taxable income of Telechem was included in the income tax returns of the stockholders under Internal Revenue Service "S" Corporation elections. Upon completion of the merger, Telecom ceased
to be treated as an “S” Corporation for income tax purposes income tax purposes.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has reviewed material subsequent events through November 12, 2009 in accordance with accounting standards on subsequent events.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For a description of our significant accounting policies and an understanding of the significant factors that influenced our performance during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements,
including the related notes, appearing in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, as well as the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There
can be no assurance that actual results reported in the future will not differ from those estimates or that revisions of these estimates may not become necessary in the future.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, includes statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements are often characterized by the terms "may," "believes," "projects," "expects," or "anticipates," and do not reflect historical facts. Specific forward-looking statements contained in
this portion of the Annual Report include, but are not limited to the Company's (i) expectation that certain of its liabilities listed on the balance sheet under the headings "Accounts Payable," "Accrued Liabilities" and "Note Payable" will be retired by issuing stock versus cash during the next 24 months; (ii) expectation that it will continue to devote capital resources to fund continued development of the Arrayit technology; (iii) anticipation that it will incur significantly capital expenditures to further
its deployment of the Arrayit offerings; and (iv) anticipation of a significant increase in operational and SG&A costs as it accelerates the development and marketing of the Arrayit operations.

Factors and risks that could affect our results and achievements and cause them to materially differ from those
contained in the forward-looking statements include those to be identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 in the section titled “Risk Factors,” as well as other factors that we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but may exist in the future.
In addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Company Overview
Arrayit began as a division of TeleChem International in 1996 with the advent of Dr. Mark Schena’s use of microarrays as genetic research tools. Arrayit was able to generate a large customer base in a relatively short time frame by capitalizing on increased Internet access and Arrayit’s online business model. Genetic
research was advancing at a dramatic pace in the 1990s as more advanced tools became commercially available. Microarray technology, including printing, detection and scanning instrumentation, was a timely addition to the geneticist’s repertoire of advanced tools, including automated sequencing, PCR, and expanded computing capability. The sequencing of the genomes of various simple organisms and later, sequencing of the more complex genomes of humans, have led to yet another
revolution in genetic discovery: gene function and variations with regard to disease states and diagnostics. Microarray tools, having undergone FDA-validation in the 2000s, remain an important component of the new genomic industry upon which Arrayit will capitalize.
Arrayit Products and Services
In the late 1990’s, Arrayit focused on developing microarray slides, kits and reagents using an open platform strategy in order to establish a market niche. In other words, Arrayit decided to make products that integrate with components from other vendors, enabling research laboratories to utilize microarray products from
multiple vendors, in contrast to the closed platform format of the earliest competitors. Research customers especially enjoy the flexibility and continue to buy Arrayit’s products. Arrayit’s patented printing technology has become an industry standard for microarray manufacturing. Arrayit’s revenues from the printing patent and its own family of printing instrumentation illustrate the Company’s success at meeting the unmet needs of the microarray
industry. Arrayit now sells both small-scale microarray robots (SpotBot®) and high throughput versions (NanoPrint). The SpotBot® and NanoPrint product lines have been further advanced to accommodate more stringent requirements in manufacturing protein microarrays. As the industry grows, Arrayit is expanding its product line to include integrated platforms and pre-printed microarray slides with specific content.
Arrayit is now expanding its Microarray Services capabilities as well, in connection with increased demand for microarrays of all kinds, and a trend toward outsourcing high end technical manufacturing. With the investment proposed in this plan, Arrayit will create a variety of microarray based diagnostic tests using Arrayit’s patented
Healthcare technology, the Variation Identification Platform (VIP), technology. As microarrays move into clinical diagnostics and genetic screening applications, the Company also expects to earn license and royalty fees in these areas.
Arrayit has been a microarray technology market driver for more than a decade. A full microarray product list with descriptions, scientific publications , protocols and pricing is available at http://Arrayit.com
Arrayit’s principal office is in Sunnyvale, California. TeleChem presently has ten employees.
Corporate History
Integrated Media Holdings, Inc.(IMHI) is a Delaware corporation, on February 5, 2008, entered into a Plan and Agreement of Merger (the “Merger”) by and among , TeleChem International, Inc. (“TeleChem”), the majority shareholders of TeleChem (“Shareholders”), Endavo Media and Communications, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Endavo”) and TCI Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation, and wholly owned subsidiary of IMHI (“Merger Sub”). IMHI, TeleChem, Endavo, Merger Sub and Shareholders are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties”.
Effective February 21, 2008, IMHI completed the Plan and Agreement of Merger by and among us, TeleChem International, Inc., the majority shareholders of TeleChem, Endavo Media and Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation and TCI Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation, and wholly owned subsidiary of IMHI. Consummation of the
merger did not require a vote of our shareholders. IMHI issued 103,143 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to the Shareholders of TeleChem in exchange for 100% of the equity interests of TeleChem resulting in TeleChem being a wholly owned subsidiary. The former shareholders of TeleChem now own approximately 73.5% of the outstanding interest and voting rights of IMHI. The Preferred Stock is convertible into 36,100,000 shares of common stock after, but not before, the
effective date of the reverse split of the outstanding Integrated Media common stock. Finally, in connection with the merger, we changed the address of our principal executive offices to 524 East Weddell Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089. Simultaneously with the merger we transferred our wholly-owned subsidiary, Endavo to an individual. As a result, the transaction will be accounted for as a reverse merger, where Telechem is the accounting acquirer resulting in a recapitalization of
our equity.
Effective Thursday, March 19, 2009, the final steps of the business combination with Integrated Media Holdings, Inc. were completed and the Company’s common stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Boards as “ARYC”. In addition, the Company changed its name to “Arrayit Corporation”, was reincorporated to Nevada
from Delaware, and reverse-split its common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred stock in the ratio of one for thirty shares.
The reincorporation will be effected by the merger of IMHI, with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, Arrayit. Arrayit will be the surviving entity.
On the Effective Time, each of IMHI’s common stockholders will be entitled to receive one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock or preferred stock of Arrayit for each share of our common stock or preferred stock, respectively, outstanding as of the Effective Time and (ii) IMHI will cease its corporate existence in the State
of Delaware. We anticipate that the shares of the Company will cease trading on the first trading date following the Effective Time and shares of Arrayit will begin trading in their place but under a new CUSIP number and trading symbol.
Recent Developments
On April 7, 2009, Arrayit Corporation announced a new research collaboration with The Parkinson's Institute of Sunnyvale, California to discover biomarkers for Parkinson's disease. This study involves the prospective collection of samples from well-characterized Parkinson's patients combined with Arrayit's new H25K microarray technology. The
first experiments have enabled rapid and efficient sample preparation of specimens from Parkinson's disease patients, an important step in the discovery of molecular markers for Parkinson's disease.
On April 30, 2009, Arrayit Corporation announced that it is developing a microarray-based diagnostic test to detect the H1N1 swine flu virus. The Arrayit test will allow researchers and clinicians to detect the presence of the virus in infected patients and livestock and to distinguish the threatening mutated strain from less harmful
variants in humans and swine. The H1N1 kits will use Arrayit’s patented Variation Identification Platform (VIP) Technology. The H1N1 test kits will be sent to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for validation, then sold for emergency use by licensed clinics, laboratories and other health care organizations worldwide.
Market Conditions in Our Industry
The microarray industry is comprised of four areas: basic research into the function of genes in plants and animals, research on the human genome, development of diagnostics for personalized medicine, and diagnostic screening tools for drug development programs that identify toxicity patterns in patient populations.
The basic research segment constitutes a significant portion of the industry that has grown dramatically since first introduced in the mid-nineties by Arrayit’s Dr. Mark Schena. Arrayit currently sells the majority of its products to this segment of the industry. The human genetic research segment constitutes
the fastest growing segment, making up the current balance of Arrayit’s sales. However, the impact of diagnostics in personalized medicine is expected to be far greater than the above, because of its impact on the very costly healthcare industry. Better patient outcome and lower healthcare cost to medical providers will provide opportunities in a vast number of disease states as the industry grows. Diagnostic tests will become a part of every individual patient’s
care plan across the costly spectrum of disease states, including cardiovascular, oncology, neurology, and other genetic diseases that affect large numbers of the population.
Arrayit competes with large and small, public and private companies. The industry has been historically dominated by Affymetrix which achieved strong market penetration by being the first public company to commercialize and promote microarray applications. A more recent entry to the market, Illumina, has taken significant market share
from Affymetrix. However, both competitors face mid to long term scientific and technological challenges because they are limited by what they can deposit onto a microarray--DNA. Arrayit’s patented printing technology can deposit any kind of molecule into a microarray, including DNA, proteins, antibodies, diagnostic elements and other compounds. These next generation microarrays represent the largest growth opportunity in the industry. Arrayit has a long-term advantage
in its unique line of personal and high throughput microarray printers, highest sensitivity microarray scanners, top quality consumables, patented diagnostic methods, collaborative corporate culture, and competitive pricing.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes all cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Arrayit reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable. Arrayit evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of future undiscounted net
cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over the estimated remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred based on expected cash flows, such loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost determined on the basis of FIFO.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss are transferred to customers upon delivery based on terms of sale and collectiblity is reasonably assured.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling costs paid to vendors are recorded as cost of sales.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets of all financial instruments approximates their fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments or comparable interest rates of similar instruments.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company records an allowance for estimated losses on customer accounts. The allowance is increased by a provision for bad debts, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
Patent Costs
Costs incurred with registering and defending patent technology are charged to expense as incurred.
Income Taxes
Prior to February 21, 2008, the financial statements of TeleChem did not include a provision for Income Taxes because the taxable income of Telechem was included in the Income Tax Returns of the Stockholders under the Internal Revenue Service "S" Corporation elections.
Upon completion of the February 21, 2008 transaction with IMHI as more fully described in Note 1, TeleChem ceased to be treated as an "S" Corporation for Income Tax purposes. Effective February 21, 2008, Arrayit Corporation became a Nevada C
Corporation.
Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are not recognized unless it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized in future years.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Operating Results- Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
Gross revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $3,293,685 and $2,713,816 respectively. Gross revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,107,857 and $782,830 respectively. The
Company continues to be hampered by its lack of financing. The Company had in excess of $400,000 of orders on hand which it was not able to ship by September 30, 2009.
The Cost of Sales for the nine, months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 amounting to $2,332,512 and $1,811,160 respectively, resulting in gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 of $961,173 and $902,656 respectively. The
Company’s Cost of Sales is dependent upon product mix. During 2009 the Company sold products with a lower gross margin than in the comparable period for 2008, resulting in a drop in the gross profit percentage to 29% from 33%, although the effect was somewhat mitigated by increased margins during the third quarter.
The Cost of Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, amounting to $730,307 and $559,913 respectively, resulting in gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 of $377,550 and $222,917 respectively. The Company’s Cost
of Sales is dependent upon product mix. During 2009 three month period, the Company sold products with a higher gross margin than in the comparable period for 2008, resulting in an increase in the gross profit percentage to 34% from 28%. This represents a change from the pattern of decreasing gross margins experienced during the first two quarters of 2009.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,030,519 and $1,045,959 respectively. The decrease was the result of cost curtailment including renegotiated rent and salary reductions offset by the expenses incurred for complying with
the filing requirements for a public company; theses expenses include accounting fees, various public filing related fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $342,331 and $379,372 respectfully. The decrease is attributable to cost control during the quarter. Legal expenses of $160,172 and $60,287 were incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 legal fees were $124,731 and $10,396. Legal fees are incurred primarily to defend the Company’s intellectual property rights and are incurred as actions are undertaken. During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 the Company incurred costs associated with the Pediatrix law suit.
Net profit from operations was $35,219 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with a net profit from operations of $156,455 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 the company had
a loss from operations of $69,346 compared to a loss from operations of $143,303 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Interest Expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $228,240 and $435,496 respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $39,430 and $146,475. The reduction in 2009 resulted from the reduction in outstanding debt, and as explained above, due to the cessation
of interest accrual on the predecessor debt pursuant to the Oral Agreements. See Note 7 in section “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement).
Pursuant to the Oral Agreements we fixed the number of shares to be issued upon conversion of the debt covered by said agreements. As we do not have sufficient authorized share capital to allow the conversion of the debt we have a derivative. The loss on extinguishment of debt was $19,021,116 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009. There were no gains or losses during 2008. See Note 7 in section “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement).
On March 13, 2009, the date of Debt Modification, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $20,996,593 as a result of insufficient authorized shares to satisfy the debt settlement in accordance with accounting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities and revalued the liability by recording a loss on derivative liability
of $19,021,116.
The gain of $2,533,652, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, was primarily due to the decrease in the OTCBB market value of the Company’s shares from $0.52 used to determine the derivative liability at the end of the March 31, 2009 (the Company’s first quarter) and the $0.29 used to determine the derivative liability
at the end of September 30, 2009 (the Company’s current reporting period).
Cash flows from operations approximated net income (loss) for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2008. The Company has funded its operating deficits through debt financing.
Convertible Debt – SovCap
The Company upon the execution of the reverse merger with IMHI become obligated for convertible debt of $3,549,200, which is covered by the Oral Agreements. The debt is shown as a derivative in these financial statements. The continuity of the convertible loan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009

Predecessor Debt in Default not covered by Oral Agreements
The Company continues to be responsible for Predecessor Debt, in default, of the IMHI predecessor company that is not covered by the Oral Agreements described above.
At September 30, 2009 $99,351 being the Dorn note and the Former Officer note are in default. No action has been taken by the note holders to assert their rights to collect the amounts in default, and the terms of the notes do not provide for any penalties or higher interest rates once the notes are in default. The note
due to a former officer is convertible into 10,251 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2009 we had had a working capital deficiency of $9,905,821 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $9,949,074. The working capital deficiency, in addition to amounts payable in the normal course of business is primarily attributable to (1) the $2,890,937 liabilities incurred but as yet unpaid in defending our
Pediatrix lawsuit (2) $613,419 in deferred compensation (3) $292,000 in Judgement interest and (4) $3,194,582 arising from the recognition of the derivative arising from warrants outstanding and debt which cannot be converted until we are able to increase our authorized share capital.
During the nine months operations generated $8,848 of our cash resources.
We currently have no commitments, understandings or arrangements for any additional working capital. If we are unable to secure additional financing to cover our operating losses until break-even operations can be achieved we may not be able to continue as a going concern. We are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties
that have a material impact upon our short-term or long-term liquidity other than
a) |
The favourable conclusion of the appeal against our successful judgement in the Pediatrix law suit. Should the defendant in the appeal not be successful the $4,000,000 net award would allow us to liquidate some of our outstanding accounts payable. |
b) |
The trickle down effects of the federal stimulus package which provides funding for our customers and which may result in increased business for our Company. |
c) |
Our ability to increase our authorized share capital thereby allowing some of our debt holders to convert their debt to equity. |
We estimate that we may require as much as approximately $200,000 over the next twelve (12) months to meet our expenses and to continue to prefect our proprietary microarray technology. We may require additional funds over the next eighteen (18) months to assist in realizing our business objectives. The amount of timing
of additional funds required will be dependent on a variety of factors and cannot be determined at this time. The Company has been successful in paying its operating costs and funding its development from operations supplemented by short term borrowings form family members and third parties. We cannot be certain that we will be able to raise any additional capital to fund our ongoing operations.
Even if we not raise additional capital, we believe that we will be able to continue operations for the next twelve months based on the funding currently provided and revenues that we anticipate generating in the near future. Our investors should assume that any additional funding may cause substantial dilution to current
stockholders. In addition, we may not be able to raise additional funds on favourable terms, if at all.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with an objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls also are designed with an objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, in order to allow timely consideration regarding required disclosures.
The evaluation of our disclosure controls by our chief executive officer, who is also our acting chief financial officer, included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Quarterly Report. Our management, including our chief executive
officer, does not expect that disclosure controls can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Also, projections of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on his review and evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, and subject to the inherent limitations all as described above, our chief executive officer, who is also our acting chief financial officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) contain material weaknesses and are not effective.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
The material weaknesses we have identified are the direct result of a lack of adequate staffing in our accounting department. Currently, our chief executive officer and a controller have sole responsibility for receipts and disbursements. We do not employ any other parties to prepare the periodic financial statements and public filings. Reliance
on these limited resources impairs our ability to provide for a proper segregation of duties and the ability to ensure consistently complete and accurate financial reporting, as well as disclosure controls and procedures. As we grow, and as resources permit, we project that we will hire such additional competent financial personnel to assist in the segregation of duties with respect to financial reporting, and Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Civil Action number 01-2226 between TeleChem International, Inc., Pediatrix Screening, Inc. and Pediatrix Screening LP went to jury trial in the United States District Court in the Western District of Pennsylvania in the summer of 2007. The jury awarded TeleChem $5 million in damages for Pediatrix's breach of contract, fraudulent
misrepresentation, and punitive damages. The jury awarded Pediatrix $1,085,001 for TeleChem's breach of contract. Pediatrix appealed the jury's decision, and requested that the damages award to TeleChem be reduced. This appeal was denied. Pediatrix put $5 million in bond, and submitted an appeal to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals to request that the damages award to TeleChem be reduced. The parties await the Third Circuit Court's response.
Our transfer agent issued 190,770 shares in error. We could be faced by claims from non-affected shareholders to the extent that some shareholders were unduly enriched by the transfer agents error. The State of Nevada could take action against the Company for the issuance of 153,246 shares in excess of our
authorized share capital, if we are not able to resolve this issue. The Company has been unable to resolve this issue with its transfer agent and has engaged legal counsel to commence action to (1) force Standard Registrar and Transfer Company, Inc., to purchase, in the open market, for cancelation the 190,770 issued by them in error, and (2) to have Standard Registrar contact each shareholder who received excess shares in error and have said shareholders either return the shares for cancelation if
they still hold the shares, or disengorge the profits they incorrectly received.
There are no other legal proceedings, although we may, from time to time, be party to certain legal proceedings and other various claims and lawsuits in the normal course of our business, which, in the opinion of management, are not material to our business or financial condition.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 2 - UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

ITEM 3- DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
As part of the ‘reverse merger” with Integrated Media Holdings, Inc., the ongoing Company took on the financial obligation for debt outstanding at the merger date. The predecessor debt amounts to $2,047,974 at December 31, 2008, of which $1,830,300 of original debt and $163,150 of accrued interest is convertible into
common shares. The entire $2,047,974 is in default and is currently due. The debt conversion terms are such that decrease in the market value of our shares will materially increase the number of shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the debt notes. As the debt notes terms do not contain a floor on the conversion price, it is not possible to determine how many shares may ultimately be issuable under the terms of the notes payable. It is possible that the note holders, upon conversion
could own a majority of the shares of the Company and it is further possible that the issuance of this unquantifiable number of our Company’s shares will have a negative impact on the market price of our shares. While the terms of the Notes Payable limit the holdings of any one shareholder to 9.99%, there is no prohibition on that note holder from converting part of the debt, selling the resulting shares and then converting additional amounts of debt held. This could place additional
downward pressure on the market price of our shares.
However the defaulted Senior Securities are covered by an Oral Agreement that
(1) |
limits the issuance of shares upon conversion to 12,478,357 |
(2) |
provides for the cessation of additional interest and penalties on the notes now in default |
