RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities is speculative in nature and involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, the following material risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating us and our business before purchasing our securities.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT. WE ANTICIPATE CONTINUING FUTURE LOSSES. WE MAY NEVER ACHIEVE OR MAINTAIN PROFITABILITY.

We incurred net losses of $4,764,498 and $2,224,933 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $1,329,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. At March 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $33,154,805 and a working capital deficit of approximately $46,776. We expect net losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future until such time as we can generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability. We expect our operating cash flows to improve in fiscal 2007, but we have little control over the timing of contracted projects. We expect our client and contract base to expand and diversify to the point where it meets our on-going operating needs, but this may not happen in the short-term or at all. While we expect to achieve additional revenue through the growth of our business, we cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient revenue to fund our expenses and achieve and maintain profitability in any period.

WE DEPEND PRIMARILY ON THE PHARMACEUTICAL, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MEDICAL DEVICE INDUSTRIES AND ARE THEREFORE SUBJECT TO RISKS RELATING TO CHANGES IN THESE INDUSTRIES.

Our business depends on the clinical trials conducted or sponsored by pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies and other entities conducting clinical research. General economic downturns, increased consolidation or decreased competition in the industries in which these companies operate could result in fewer products under development or decreased pressure to accelerate product approval which, in turn, could materially adversely impact our revenues. Our operating results may also be adversely impacted by other developments that affect these industries generally, including:

 

   

the introduction or adoption of new technologies or products;

 

   

changes in third-party reimbursement practices;

 

   

changes in government regulation or governmental price controls;

 

   

changes in medical practices;

 

   

the assertion of product liability claims; and

 

   

changes in general business conditions.

Any decrease in R & D expenditures or in the size, scope or frequency of clinical trials conducted or sponsored by pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device companies or other entities as a result of the foregoing or other factors could materially adversely affect our operations or financial condition.

CHANGES IN REGULATIONS AND REGULATORY GUIDANCE APPLICABLE TO OUR CUSTOMERS OR POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS AND THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR THEIR PRODUCTS MAY RESULT IN OUR INABILITY TO CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS.

Demand for our software products, services and hosted solutions is largely a function of regulation and regulatory guidance associated with the approval of new drugs, biological products and medical devices imposed upon the clinical trial process by the U.S. federal government and related regulatory authorities such as the FDA, and by foreign governments. In recent years, efforts have been made to streamline the FDA approval process and coordinate U.S. standards with those of other developed countries. Any change in the scope of applicable regulations and regulatory guidance could alter the type or amount of clinical trial spending or negatively impact interest in our software products, services and hosted solutions. Any regulatory reform that limits or reduces the R & D spending of entities conducting clinical research upon which our business depends could have a material adverse effect on our revenues or gross margins.

Table of Contents

In addition, any failure to conform our software products, services and hosted solutions to domestic or international changes in regulations and regulatory guidance applicable to our customers or potential customers and the approval process for their products may result in our inability to continue to do business. Changing our software products, services and hosted solutions to allow our customers to comply with future changes in regulation or regulatory guidance, either domestically or internationally, could cause us to incur substantial costs. We cannot assure you that our product and service offerings will allow our customers and potential customers to stay in compliance with regulations and regulatory guidance as they develop. If our product and service offerings fail to allow our customers and potential customers to operate in a manner that is compliant with applicable regulations and regulatory guidance, clinical trial sponsors and other entities conducting clinical research may be unwilling to use our software products, services and hosted solutions.

IF ENTITIES ENGAGED IN CLINICAL TRIALS DO NOT SHIFT FROM TRADITIONAL PAPER-BASED METHODS OF COLLECTING CLINICAL TRIAL DATA TO ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, WE MAY NOT ACHIEVE THE MARKET PENETRATION NECESSARY TO OBTAIN OR MAINTAIN PROFITABILITY.

If entities engaged in clinical trials are unwilling to use our EDC solutions or to change the way of collecting clinical trial data, our future growth and market share may be limited. Most clinical trials today rely on pre-printed, three-part paper case report forms for data collection. Our efforts to establish an electronic process to capture clinical trial data are a significant departure from the traditional paper-based methods of collecting clinical trial data. As is typical for new and rapidly evolving industries, customer demand for recently introduced technology is highly uncertain. We may not be successful in persuading entities engaged in clinical trials to change the manner in which they have traditionally collected clinical trial data and to accept our software products, services and hosted solutions. If we fail to convince entities engaged in clinical trials to use our methods of capturing clinical trial data, our revenues may be limited and we may fail to be profitable.

OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO FALL RAPIDLY AND WITHOUT NOTICE.

Our revenues and operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, particularly because of the rapidly evolving market in which we operate and our term license model. Our results of operations in any given quarter will be based on a number of factors, including:

 

   

the extent to which TrialMaster achieves or maintains market acceptance;

 

   

our ability to introduce new products and services and enhancements to our existing products and services on a timely basis;

 

   

the competitive environment in which we operate;

 

   

the timing of our product sales and the length of our sales and implementation cycles;

 

   

changes in our operating expenses;

 

   

our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel;

 

   

changes in the regulatory environment related to the clinical trial market;

 

   

the financial condition of our current and potential customers.

A significant portion of our operating expense is relatively fixed in nature and planned expenditures are based in part on expectations regarding future revenues. Accordingly, unexpected revenue shortfalls may decrease our gross margins and could cause significant changes in our operating results from quarter to quarter. Results of operations in any quarterly period should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. In addition, our future quarterly operating results may fluctuate and may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, the trading price of our common stock could fall substantially either suddenly or over time.

Table of Contents

WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO SPEND SUBSTANTIAL TIME AND EXPENSE BEFORE WE RECOGNIZE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE REVENUES, IF ANY, ATTRIBUTABLE TO OUR CUSTOMER CONTRACTS.

The sales cycle for some of our software solutions frequently takes six months to a year or longer from initial customer contact to contract execution. During this time, we may expend substantial time, effort and financial resources without realizing any revenue with respect to the potential sale. In addition, in the case of our hosted EDC solutions, we do not begin recognizing revenue until implementation cycles are complete. Moreover, while we begin recognizing revenue upon completion of the scope of work detailed in our contracts, it may be difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from new customers is recognized over the applicable license term, typically three months to five years. As a result, we may not recognize significant revenues, if any, from some customers despite incurring considerable expense related to our sales and implementation process. Even if we do realize revenues from a contract, our pricing model may keep us from recognizing a significant portion of these revenues during the same period in which sales and implementation expenses were incurred. Those timing differences could cause our gross margins and profitability to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Similarly, a decline in new or renewed client contracts in any one quarter will not necessarily be fully reflected in the revenue in that quarter and may negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. This could cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.

THE LOSS OF ONE OR MORE MAJOR CUSTOMERS COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

Our top five customers accounted for approximately 53% of our revenues during 2006 and approximately 54% of our revenues during 2005. Three customers accounted individually for 10% or more of our revenues during 2005. One customer accounted individually for 10% or more of our revenues during 2006. These customers can terminate our services at any time. The loss of any of our major customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. We may not be able to maintain our customer relationships, and our customers may not renew their agreements with us, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any of these customers could also have a material adverse effect on the collectibility of our accounts receivables, our liquidity and our future operating results.

WE COULD INCUR SUBSTANTIAL COSTS RESULTING FROM PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS RELATING TO OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OR OUR CUSTOMERS’ USE OF OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.

Any failure or errors in a customer’s clinical trial or adverse event reporting obligations caused or allegedly caused by our products or services could result in a claim for substantial damages against us by our customers or the clinical trial participants, regardless of our responsibility for the failure. Although we are entitled to indemnification under our customer contracts against claims brought against us by third parties arising out of our customers’ use of our products, we might find ourselves entangled in lawsuits against us that, even if unsuccessful, divert our resources and energy and adversely affect our business. Further, in the event we seek indemnification from a customer, we cannot assure you that a court will enforce our indemnification right if challenged by the customer obligated to indemnify us or that the customer will be able to fund any amounts for indemnification owed to us. We also cannot assure you that our existing general liability insurance coverage will continue to be available on reasonable terms or will be available in amounts sufficient to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not disclaim coverage as to any future claim.

WE AND OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES COULD BE SUBJECTED TO GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION, REQUIRING US TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT COMPLIANCE COSTS OR TO CEASE OFFERING OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

The clinical trial process is subject to extensive and strict regulation by the FDA, as well as other regulatory authorities worldwide. Our electronic data capture, management and adverse event reporting products and services could be subjected to state, federal and foreign regulations. We cannot assure you that our products and service offerings will comply with applicable regulations and regulatory guidelines as they develop. If our products or services fail to comply with any applicable government regulations or guidelines, we could incur significant liability or be forced to cease offering our applicable products or services. Also, conforming our products and services to any applicable regulations and guidelines could substantially increase our operating expenses.

Table of Contents

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RETAIN OUR PERSONNEL AND HIRE ADDITIONAL SKILLED PERSONNEL, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS.

Our future success depends upon our ability to attract, train and retain highly skilled employees and contract workers, particularly our management team, sales and marketing personnel, professional services personnel and software engineers. Each of our executive officers and other employees could terminate his or her relationship with us at any time. The loss of any member of our management team might significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business or development objectives and could materially harm our business. In addition, because of the technical nature of our software products, services and hosted solutions and the dynamic market in which we compete, any failure to attract and retain qualified direct sales, professional services and product development personnel, as well as our contract workers, could have a material adverse affect on our ability to generate sales or successfully develop new software products, services and hosted solutions or software enhancements.

WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION AND WILL HAVE TO COMPETE FOR MARKET SHARE.

There can be no assurance that our products will achieve or maintain a competitive advantage. There are currently a number of companies who market services and products for Web-based clinical trial data collection. Barriers to entry on the Internet are relatively low, and we expect competition to increase significantly in the future. We face competitive pressures from numerous actual and potential competitors, both online and offline, many of which have longer operating histories, greater brand name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. We cannot assure you that the Web-based clinical trials maintained by our existing and potential competitors will not be perceived by clinical trial sponsors as being superior to ours.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PREVENT COMPETITORS FROM USING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND WE WOULD FACE POTENTIALLY EXPENSIVE LITIGATION TO ASSERT OUR RIGHTS AND TO DEFEND OURSELVES AGAINST PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS ASSERTED BY OTHERS. IF WE CANNOT PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, WE MAY LOSE A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AND SUFFER DECREASED REVENUES AND CASH FLOW.

We are dependent, in part, on proprietary data, analytical computer programs and methods and related know-how for our day-to-day operations. We rely on a combination of confidentiality agreements, contract provisions and trade secret laws to protect our proprietary rights. Although we intend to protect our rights vigorously, there can be no assurance we will be successful in protecting our proprietary rights. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights, or if our proprietary information and methods become widely available, we may lose any ability to obtain or maintain a competitive advantage within our market niche.

FAILURE TO ADAPT TO EVOLVING TECHNOLOGIES AND USER DEMANDS COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF USERS.

To be successful, we must adapt to rapidly changing technologies and user demands by continuously enhancing our products and services and introducing new products and services. If we need to modify our products and services or infrastructure to adapt to changes affecting clinical trials, we could incur substantial development or acquisition costs. As described below, we will be dependent upon the availability of additional financing to fund these development and acquisition costs. If these funds are not available to us, and if we cannot adapt to these changes, or do not sufficiently increase the features and functionality of our products and services, our users may switch to the product and service offerings of our competitors.

A SYSTEM FAILURE COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED REVENUES.

Any system failure, including network, software or hardware failure that causes an interruption in our service could affect the performance of our TrialMaster software and result in reduced revenues. The servers that host our software are backed-up by remote servers, but we cannot be certain that the back-up servers will not fail or cause an interruption in our service. Clinical trial data could also be affected by computer viruses, electronic break-ins or

Table of Contents

other similar disruptions. Our users will depend on Internet service providers, online service providers and other web site operators for access to our products. Each of these providers may have experienced significant outages in the past and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems. Further, our systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications and/or power failure, break-ins, hurricanes, earthquake and similar events. Regionalized power loss caused by hurricanes or other storms if occurring over a long period of time could adversely impact our ability to service our clients. Our insurance policies have low coverage limits and may not adequately compensate us for any such losses that may occur due to interruptions in our service.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ADEQUATELY DEVELOP OUR SYSTEMS, PROCESSES AND SUPPORT IN A MANNER THAT WILL ENABLE US TO MEET THE DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES.

Our future success will depend on our ability to develop effectively the infrastructure, including additional hardware and software, and implement the services, including customer support, necessary to meet the demand for our services. In the event we are not successful in developing the necessary systems and implementing the necessary services on a timely basis, our revenues could be adversely affected, which would have a material adverse affect on our financial condition.

FAILURE TO MANAGE OUR RAPID GROWTH EFFECTIVELY COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

We have been experiencing a period of growth that has placed a significant strain on our operational and financial resources and our personnel. To manage our anticipated future growth effectively, we must continue to maintain and may need to enhance our information technology infrastructure, financial and accounting systems and controls and manage expanded operations in geographically distributed locations. We also must attract, integrate, train and retain a significant number of qualified sales and marketing personnel, professional services personnel, software engineers and other management personnel. Our failure to manage our rapid growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

IN THE COURSE OF CONDUCTING OUR BUSINESS, WE POSSESS OR COULD BE DEEMED TO POSSESS PERSONAL MEDICAL INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONDUCT OF CLINICAL TRIALS, WHICH IF WE FAIL TO KEEP PROPERLY PROTECTED, COULD SUBJECT US TO SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY.

Our software solutions are used to collect, manage and report information in connection with the conduct of clinical trails. This information is or could be considered to be personal medical information of the clinical trial participants. Regulation of the use and disclosure of personal medical information is complex and growing. Increased focus on individuals’ rights to confidentiality of their personal information, including personal medical information, could lead to an increase of existing and future legislative or regulatory initiatives giving direct legal remedies to individuals, including rights to damages, against entities deemed responsible for not adequately securing such personal information. In addition, courts may look to regulatory standards in identifying or applying a common law theory of liability, whether or not that law affords a private right of action. Since we receive and process personal information of clinical trial participants from our customers, there is a risk that we could be liable if there were a breach of any obligation to a protected person under contract, standard of practice or regulatory requirement. If we fail to properly protect this personal information that is in our possession or deemed to be in our possession, we could be subjected to significant liability.

OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTAIN A GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION.

Because of our significant operating losses, accumulated deficit and the uncertainty as to our ability to secure additional financing, the report of our independent auditors on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 contained an explanatory paragraph indicating there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Table of Contents

WE WILL LIKELY NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING, THE TERMS OF WHICH MAY BE UNFAVORABLE TO OUR THEN EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.

Our plan of operations will require us to raise additional working capital if our revenue projections are not realized, and even if our projections are realized, we may need to raise additional financing to meet our ongoing obligations. In addition, we may also need to raise additional funds to meet known needs or to respond to future business contingencies, which may include the need to:

 

   

fund more rapid expansion;

 

   

fund additional capital or marketing expenditures;

 

   

develop new or enhanced features, services and products;

 

   

enhance our operating infrastructure;

 

   

respond to competitive pressures; or

 

   

acquire complementary businesses or necessary technologies.

If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders or debt holders. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, repay our outstanding debt obligations and remain in business may be significantly limited.

FUTURE SALES OF SHARES BY EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS AS WELL AS THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD RESULT IN A DECLINE IN THE MARKET PRICE OF THE STOCK.

As of the date of this prospectus, we had 56,089,659 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 29,962,669 shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock or convertible notes, or exercise of warrants, options or Placement Agent Unit Options. Of these shares, 41,006,957 are, or will be upon issuance, eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 or this registration statement. In general, Rule 144 permits a shareholder who has owned restricted shares for at least one year, to sell without registration, within a three-month period, up to one percent of our then outstanding common stock. In addition, shareholders other than our officers, directors or 5% or greater shareholders who have owned their shares for at least two years may sell them without volume limitation or the need for our reports to be current.

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of common stock or the availability of these shares for sale will have on the market price of the shares from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market could adversely affect market prices for the common stock and could damage our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

THE EXERCISE OF OUTSTANDING OPTIONS AND WARRANTS AND THE CONVERSION OF OUTSTANDING SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK AND CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES WILL BE DILUTIVE TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.

As of the date of this prospectus, we had a total of 11,666,520 shares of our common stock underlying options, warrants and other convertible securities and 18,296,149 shares of common stock underlying convertible preferred stock. The exercise of these warrants and options and/or the conversion of these convertible securities will have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

THERE IS ONLY A LIMITED TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.

There is a limited trading market for our common stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active trading market or how liquid that trading market might become. If a liquid trading market does not develop or is not sustained, investors may find it difficult to dispose of shares of our common stock and may suffer a loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment in our common stock.

FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE.

Historically, there has been volatility in the market price for our common stock. Our quarterly operating results, changes in general conditions in the economy, the financial markets or our industry segment, or other developments affecting us or our competitors, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. We expect to experience significant fluctuations in our future quarterly operating results due to a variety of factors. Factors that may adversely affect our quarterly operating results include:

 

   

the announcement or introduction of new products by us and our competitors;

 

   

our ability to retain existing clients and attract new clients at a steady rate, and maintain client satisfaction;

 

   

the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business and operations;

 

   

government regulation; and

 

   

general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the clinical trials industry.

As a result of these factors, in one or more future quarters, our operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which could result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock.

BECAUSE OUR STOCK CURRENTLY TRADES BELOW $5.00 PER SHARE, AND IS QUOTED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD, OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A “PENNY STOCK” WHICH CAN ADVERSELY EFFECT ITS LIQUIDITY.

If our common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and the trading price of our common stock remains less than $5.00 per share, our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” and trading in our common stock is subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker/dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent prior to the transaction.

The Securities and Exchange Commission regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a “penny stock,” including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities. In addition to the applicability of the penny stock rules, other risks associated with trading in penny stocks could also be price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market.

PROVISIONS OF OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS MAY DELAY OR PREVENT A TAKE-OVER WHICH MAY NOT BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR COMMON STOCKHOLDERS.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and by-laws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors, of which 4,602,374 shares are currently issued and outstanding. Our Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, issue additional series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

If, and when the Placement Agent Unit Options and common stock purchase warrants are exercised by the selling stockholders using the cashless exercise we will not receive any proceeds from the exercises.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Our common stock is traded on a limited basis on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol OMCM. The following table sets forth the range of high and low closing prices for our common stock as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board for the periods indicated. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions.

Dividend Policy

Holders of our common stock are entitled to cash dividends when, and as may be declared by the Board of Directors. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently expect to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Our future payment of dividends will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, expansion plans, financial condition and other relevant factors. We are currently restricted under Delaware corporate law from declaring any cash dividends due to our current working capital and stockholders’ deficit. There can be no assurance that cash dividends of any kind will ever be paid.

A special note about penny stock rules

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common stock should be considered to be a penny stock. A penny stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination

Table of Contents

for the purchase of these securities. In addition, he must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. He must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities, and may negatively affect the ability of holders of shares of our common stock to sell them.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Statements contained in this prospectus that are not historical fact are “forward looking statements”. These statements can often be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “estimate”, “project”, “believe”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “intends”, or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. We wish to caution the reader that these forward-looking statements, such as statements relating to expectations as to operations and operational improvements; expectations as to revenue growth and earnings; the time by which certain objectives will be achieved; estimates of costs; and other matters contained in this prospectus regarding matters that are not historical facts, are only predictions. No assurance can be given that plans for the future will be consummated or that the future results indicated, whether expressed or implied, will be achieved. While sometimes presented with numerical specificity, these plans and projections and other forward-looking statements are based upon a variety of assumptions, which we consider reasonable, but which nevertheless may not be realized. Because of the number and range of the assumptions underlying our projections and forward-looking statements, many of which are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are beyond our reasonable control, some of the assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur subsequent to the date of this prospectus. Therefore, our actual experience and results achieved during the period covered by any particular projections or forward-looking statements may differ substantially from those projected. Consequently, the inclusion of projections and other forward- looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that these plans will be consummated or that estimates and projections will be realized, and actual results may vary materially. There can be no assurance that any of these expectations will be realized or that any of the forward-looking statements contained herein will prove to be accurate. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, and no inference should be drawn that we will make any updates with respect thereto. For any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, we claim protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a healthcare technology company that provides electronic data capture (“EDC”) solutions and related value-added services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, clinical research organizations (“CRO”), and other clinical trial sponsors via our Web-based software, TrialMaster. TrialMaster allows clinical trial sponsors and investigative sites to securely collect, validate, transmit, and analyze clinical study data including patient histories, patient dosing, adverse events, and other clinical trial information. All of our personnel are involved in the development, marketing or support of TrialMaster and its related products.

During fiscal 2007, the Company will seek to execute its operating strategy. The primary focus of our strategy includes:

 

   

Expanding our business model by offering our software solution, TrialMaster, on a licensed basis in addition to our existing hosted-services solutions;

 

   

Expanding our sales and marketing efforts to include larger pharmaceutical, CRO and governmental clinical trial sponsors who will be attracted to our licensed, technology-transfer business model;

 

   

Stimulating demand by providing clinical trial Sponsors with high value EDC;

 

   

Emphasizing low operating costs;

 

   

Continuing to provide EDC services to small and midsize Pharma, Bio-Tech, Medical Device Companies and CROs; and

 

   

Differentiation through service.

A crucial success factor in the EDC industry is the overall penetration of our industry into the domestic and international clinical trial market. CenterWatch, an industry publication, estimates that as of 2004 approximately 25% of clinical trials are conducted with the use of EDC. CenterWatch estimates that U.S. clinical R & D was at $31.5 billion in 2005. Based on a 2002 CenterWatch report approximately 8.5% of total R & D costs are spent on data management. Our operating focus is first to increase our sales and marketing capabilities and penetration rate and secondly, to continue developing and improving TrialMaster to ensure our services and products remain an attractive, high-value EDC choice.

Our ability to compete within the EDC industry is predicated on our ability to continue enhancing and broadening the scope of solutions offered through TrialMaster. Our R & D efforts are focused on developing new, complementary software solutions, as well as enhancing our existing software solutions through the addition of increased functionality. During the first three months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, we spent approximately $194,751 and $107,676 respectively, on R & D activities, the majority of which represented salaries to our developers which include costs associated with customization of the TrialMaster software for our client’s projects.

Results of Operations

Revenues for the three-months ended March 31, 2007 were $822,251 compared to $519,511 for the three-months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 58.3%. The revenue increase can be attributed to a 47% increase in projects under management. Additionally, the average project initiated during the year-ended March 31, 2007 was approximately 24% larger than the trials initiated during the three-month period ended March 31, 2006. Industry acceptance of EDC continues to increase and CenterWatch, an industry trade group, estimates that EDC use in 2004 was an estimated 25% of clinical trials. TrialMaster is currently sold primarily as an application service provider (“ASP”) that provides EDC and other services such as an enterprise management suite which assists its clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries in accelerating the completion of clinical trials. As we continue developing TrialMaster and our client relationships mature we expect some of our clients to deploy TrialMaster on a licensed, rather than ASP hosted basis. TrialMaster contracts provide for pricing that is based on both the size and duration of the clinical trial. Size parameters include the number of case report forms used to collect data and the number of sites utilizing TrialMaster. The client will pay a trial setup fee based on the previously mentioned factors, and then pay an on-going maintenance fee for the duration of the clinical trial that provides software, network and site support during the trial. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 approximately 65.8% of revenues was generated by trial setup activities, 27.2% was generated from on-going maintenance fees and approximately 7.0% was generated from fees charged for changes to on-going clinical trial engagements. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 we generated 71.3% of revenues from setup fees, 19.5% from on-going maintenance fees and 9.2% from project change orders. Generally, our contracts will range in duration from one month to several years. Setup fees are generally earned prior to the inception of a trial, however, the revenues will be recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition” which requires that the revenues be recognized ratably over the life of the contract. The maintenance fee revenues are earned and recognized monthly. Costs associated with contract revenues are recognized as incurred.

Our top five customers accounted for approximately 60% of our revenues during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 and approximately 48% of our revenues during the three-month period ended March 31, 2006. Three customers accounted individually for 10% or more of our revenues during three-month period ended March 31, 2007. The loss of any of these contracts or these customers in the future could adversely affect our results of operations.

Cost of goods sold increased to $214,086 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to $183,961 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 16.4%. Cost of goods sold were approximately 26.0% of sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to 35.4% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006. Cost of goods sold relates primarily to salaries and related benefits associated with the programmers, developers and systems analysts producing clinical trials on behalf of our clients. Salaries increased during 2007 due to the addition of one additional programmer and a training specialist as part of our trial operations.

We expect to increase development programming labor costs on an absolute basis as our trial revenues increase. We expect our cost of goods sold to approximate 25% of sales during fiscal 2007. We expect to continue to increase follow-on engagements from existing clients and expect to increase the CRO portion of our client base. In addition, we expect the cost of service for our licensing business model to approximate 25% of revenues. We expect the current version of TrialMaster, (V4.0), to increase the efficiency of trial building operations by 20 to 25%. V4.0 of TrialMaster is being designed using Microsoft’s .Net framework. Microsoft® .NET is described by Microsoft as a set of software technologies for connecting information, people, systems, and devices. This new generation of technology is based on Web services—small building-block applications that can connect to each other as well as to other, larger applications over the Internet.

Salaries and related expenses are our biggest expense at 72.4% of total Operating Expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 compared with 72.8% of total Operating Expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. Salaries and related expenses totaled $1,296,044 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to $726,118 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 78.5%. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 we incurred approximately $173,100 and $163,545, in salary expense, respectively, in connection with our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. We expect that the adoption of SFAS 123R will

Table of Contents

continue to have an impact on our results of operations in the future. We currently employ approximately 37 employees out of our Fort Lauderdale, Florida corporate office and have eight out-of-state employees. We expect to increase personnel within our production, project management and quality analysis functions in concert with anticipated increases in TrialMaster clients during fiscal 2007. We anticipate that the commercialization of our licensed TrialMaster product will require the addition of employees who will provide installation, implementation, training and other consulting services associated with the transfer of our TrialMaster technology on a licensed basis. We expect that the costs incurred related to the technology transfers of TrialMaster on a licensed basis will be offset by the revenues generated from these sales. We will look to selectively add experienced sales and marketing personnel in fiscal 2007 in an effort to increase our market penetration and to continue broadening our client base.

Rent and related expenses increased by $26,258 during the three month period ended March 31, 2007 when compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2006. We entered into a corporate office lease in May 2006 that runs through April 2011. In December 2001, we established a disaster recovery site at an IBM owned Co-Location facility in Atlanta, Georgia and will continue utilizing this facility for the foreseeable future since it is designed to ensure 100% production system up-time and to provide system redundancy. In August 2006, we entered into a lease with Gold Coast 1-Vault in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida area. This facility provides us with disaster recovery and business continuity services for our operations. This lease expires in August 2008.

Legal and professional fees totaled $66,849 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 compared with $22,715 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, an increase of approximately $44,134. We recorded $22,500 in financial advisory fees during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared with $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Professional fees include fees paid to our auditors for services rendered on a quarterly and annual basis in connection with out SEC filings and fees paid to our attorneys in connection with representation in matters involving litigation or for services rendered to us related to securities and SEC related matters. We expect legal and professional fees to increase during fiscal 2007 in connection with our project aimed at ensuring timely compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SGA”) were $147,980 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to $55,358 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 167.3%. These expenses relate primarily to costs incurred in running our office day-to-day and other costs not directly related to other captioned items in our income statement, and include the cost of office equipment and supplies, the costs of attending conferences and seminars and other expenses incurred in the normal course of business. The Company increased its marketing, sales and advertising expenditures by $64,632 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 from $12,947 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 to $77,579 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, an increase of approximately 499.2%. We expect SGA expenses to continue increasing as we intensify and extend our selling and marketing efforts.

Interest expense was $23,608 during the three month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to $75,755 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006, a decrease of $52,147 or 68.8%. The decrease can be attributed to the conversion of long-term debt we effected over the course of the last four calendar months. An aggregate of $2,924,260 in promissory notes were converted into shares of our common stock in December 2006. The interest expense savings associated with these conversions will be approximately $263,000 in fiscal 2007. An aggregate of $926,782 in promissory notes were converted into shares of our common stock in March 2007. The interest expense savings associated with these conversions will be approximately $66,000 in fiscal 2007.

We evaluate the cost of capital available to us in combination with our overall capital structure in deciding what financing best fulfills our short and long-term capital needs. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 we issued $211,800 in promissory notes. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 we issued $100,000 in promissory notes.

There were arrearages of $50,637 in 5% Series A Preferred Stock dividends, $9,863 in Series B Preferred Stock dividends and $66,506 in Series C Preferred Stock dividends for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, compared with arrearages of $50,637 in 5% Series A Preferred Stock dividends, $12,526 in Series B Preferred Stock dividends and $66,506 in Series C Preferred Stock dividends for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. We deducted $127,006 and $129,669 from Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders’ for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively, relating to undeclared Series A, B and C Convertible Preferred Stock dividends.

Results of Operations

Revenues for the year-ended December 31, 2006 were $2,763,039 compared to $1,753,976 for the year-ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 57.5%. The revenue increase can be attributed to a 43% increase in projects under management. Additionally, the average project initiated during the year-ended December 31, 2006 was approximately 20% larger than the trials initiated during the year-ended December 31, 2005. Industry acceptance of EDC continues to increase and CenterWatch, an industry trade group, estimates that current EDC use is approximately 15-25% of clinical trials. TrialMaster is currently sold primarily as an application service provider (“ASP”) that provides EDC and other services such as an enterprise management suite which assists its clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries in accelerating the completion of clinical trials. As we continue developing TrialMaster and our client relationships mature we expect some of our clients to deploy TrialMaster on a licensed, rather than ASP hosted basis. TrialMaster contracts provide for pricing that is based on both the size and duration of the clinical trial. Size parameters include the number of case report forms used to collect data and the number of sites utilizing TrialMaster. The client will pay a trial setup fee based on the previously mentioned factors, and then pay an on-going maintenance fee for the duration of the clinical trial that provides software, network and site support during the trial. During the year-ended 2006 approximately 69.6% of revenues was generated by trial setup activities, 21.3% was generated from on-going maintenance fees and approximately 9.1% was generated from fees charged for changes to on-going clinical trial engagements. During the year-ended 2005 we generated 69.6% of revenues from setup fees, 21.3% from on-going maintenance fees and 9.1% from project change orders. Generally, these contracts will range in duration from one month to several years. Setup fees are generally earned prior to the inception of a trial, however, the revenues will be recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition” which requires that the revenues be recognized ratably over the life of the contract. The maintenance fee revenues are earned and recognized monthly. Costs associated with contract revenues are recognized as incurred.

Our top five customers accounted for approximately 53% of our revenues during the year-ended December 31, 2006 and approximately 54% of our revenues during the year-ended December 31, 2005. One customer accounted individually for 10% or more of our revenues during fiscal 2006. The loss of any of these contracts or these customers in the future could adversely affect our results of operations.

Cost of goods sold increased to $969,323 for the year-ended December 31, 2006 compared to $387,262 for the year-ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 150.3%. Cost of goods sold were approximately 35.1% of sales for the year-ended December 31, 2006 compared to 22.1% for the year-ended December 31, 2005. Cost of goods sold relates primarily to salaries and related benefits associated with the programmers, developers and systems analysts producing clinical trials on behalf of our clients. Salaries increased during 2006 due to the addition of five additional programmers, four additional quality analysts and a training specialist as part of our trial operations.

We expect to increase development programming labor costs on an absolute basis as our trial revenues increase. We expect our cost of goods sold to return to the 25% of sales range during fiscal 2007. We expect to continue to increase follow-on engagements from existing clients and expect to increase the phase I and CRO portions of our client base. In addition, we expect the cost of service for our licensing business to approximate 25% of revenues. TrialMaster V3.0, the current release of our trial-building software has improved our ability to reduce trial production related costs since it automates many of the trial building functions that were manually performed in prior releases of our software. We expect the next release of TrialMaster, (V4.0), which is available for commercialization, to increase the efficiency of trial building operations by 20 to 25%. V4.0 is being designed using Microsoft’s .NET framework. Microsoft® .NET is described by Microsoft as a set of software technologies for connecting information, people, systems, and devices. This new generation of technology is based on Web services—small building-block applications that can connect to each other as well as to other, larger applications over the Internet.

Salaries and related expenses are our biggest expense at 72.1% of total Operating Expenses for the year-ended December 31, 2006 compared with 69.4% of total Operating Expenses for the year-ended December 31, 2005. Salaries and related expenses totaled $3,986,311 for the year-ended December 31, 2006 compared to $1,871,508 for the year-ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 113.0%. We currently employ approximately 37 employees out of our Ft. Lauderdale, Florida corporate office and have eight out-of-state employees. We expect to increase personnel within our production, project management and quality analysis functions in concert with anticipated

increases in TrialMaster clients during fiscal 2007. We will look to selectively add experienced sales and marketing personnel in fiscal 2007 in an effort to increase our market penetration and to continue broadening our client base. During the year ended December 31, 2006 we incurred approximately $786,703 in salary expense in connection with our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. We expect that the adoption of SFAS 123R will continue to have an impact on our results of operations in the future.

Rent and related expenses increased by $67,769 during the year-ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the year-ended December 31, 2005. We entered into a new corporate office lease that runs through April 2011. In December 2001, we established a disaster recovery site at an IBM owned Co-Location facility in Atlanta, Georgia and will continue utilizing this facility for the foreseeable future since it is designed to ensure 100% production system up-time and to provide system redundancy. In August 2006, we entered into a lease with Gold Coast 1-Vault in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida area. This facility provides us with disaster recovery and business continuity services for our operations. This lease expires in August 2008.

Consulting services expense was $376,152 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared with $0 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Consulting services were comprised of fees paid to recruiting consultants in helping us develop our R & D and sales and marketing recruiting programs and in helping us recruit employees in those two functions.

Legal and professional fees totaled $233,035 for the year-ended December 31, 2006 compared with $178,219 for the year-ended December 31, 2005, an increase of approximately $54,816. Professional fees represent fees paid to our auditors for services rendered on a quarterly and annual basis in connection with out SEC filings and fees paid to our attorneys in connection with representation in matters involving litigation or for services rendered to us related to securities and SEC related matters. We expect legal and professional fees to increase during fiscal 2007 in connection with our project aimed at ensuring timely compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SGA”) were $338,761 for the year-ended December 31, 2006 compared to $275,802 for the year-ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 22.8%. These expenses relate primarily to costs incurred in running our office day-to-day and other costs not directly related to other captioned items in our income statement, and include the cost of office equipment and supplies, the costs of attending conferences and seminars and other expenses incurred in the normal course of business. The Company increased its marketing, sales and advertising expenditures by $67,459 for the year-ended December 31, 2006 from $66,269 for the year-ended December 31, 2005 to $133,728, an increase of approximately 101.8%. We expect SGA expenses to continue increasing as we intensify and extend our selling and marketing efforts.

Interest expense was $509,648 during the year-ended December 31, 2006, including $195,880 in interest expense related to the conversion of our 10% Convertible Notes that were converted during 2006 compared to $365,397 for the year-ended December 31, 2005, including $104,000 in interest expense related to the conversion of our 10% convertible notes that were converted in 2005, an increase of $144,251 or 39.5%. Interest paid to related parties was $328,709 during the year ended December 31, 2006 and $129,684 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase can be attributed to the interest expense incurred on notes issued during calendar 2006 and the increase in interest expense associated with notes issued throughout calendar 2005 and the additional interest associated with conversions of or 10% Notes in both years. We evaluate the cost of capital available to us in combination with our overall capital structure in deciding what financing best fulfills our short and long-term capital needs. During the year-ended December 31, 2006 we issued $700,000 in promissory notes, including $185,000 to our Placement Agent Noesis Capital. The note for $185,000 issue to Noesis Capital included $125,000 in accrued expenses associated with financial services provided. During the year-ended December 31, 2005, we issued $708,300 in promissory notes. An aggregate of $2,924,260 in promissory notes were converted into shares of our common stock in December 2006. Included were notes converted by Cornelis F. Wit, our President and CEO in the amount of $691,501, by Guus van Kesteren, a Director, in the amount of $439,136 and by Noesis Capital, our Placement Agent and a 5% or greater shareholder, in the amount of $511,910. The interest expense savings associated with these conversions will be approximately $263,000 in fiscal 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically experienced negative cash flows and have relied on the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities to fund our operations. In addition, we have utilized stock-based compensation as a means of paying for consulting and salary related expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,693,975 from $38,254 to $1,732,229 at March 31, 2007. This was the result of cash provided by financing activities of $3,045,591 offset by cash used in operating activities of approximately $1,298,737 and $41,658 used in investing activities. The significant components of the activity include a loss from operations of approximately $1,202,894 offset by non-cash transactions of $253,702 and approximately $3,045,591 we raised through the issuance of debt and equity securities offset by $41,658 used in investing activities and decreases in cash of $349,545 from changes in working capital accounts.

We are not currently bound by any long or short-term agreements for the purchase or lease of capital expenditures. Any amounts expended for capital expenditures would be the result of an increase in the capacity needed to adequately service any increase in our business. To date we have paid for any needed additions to our capital equipment infrastructure from working capital funds and anticipate this being the case in the future. Presently, we have approximately $250,000 planned for capital expenditures to further the Company’s growth through the end of 2007, which will be funded through cash from operations.

Our selling efforts include marketing our products to several Fortune 1000 pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers and several of the largest CROs. We began providing services to some of these entities during 2003 and we have experienced success in broadening our client roster over the past three fiscal years. Continued success in broadening our existing client relationships and forging new relationships should provide us the opportunity to limit our need for funding our operations via debt and equity capital. Continuing to obtain contracts with clients of this size and reputation will also increase the credibility of the Company to the clinical trial market.

We experienced increased success in marketing TrialMaster during fiscal 2006 and the first three months of fiscal 2007. During the last five fiscal quarters we have entered into approximately $8 million in contracts for trials to be serviced over the next five years. These contracts included 27 clinical trial engagements with fifteen new clients. These contracts may however, be terminated by our clients at any time. Our focus continues to include increasing our penetration of all phases of the clinical trial market with a continued emphasis on becoming the market leader in Phase I EDC services. We believe this market is an operating and strategic strength of the Company due to the inherent flexibility that our Phase I TrialMaster product provides us. We believe we have the ability to produce trials more quickly and economically than our competitors for this specialized and large market. During fiscal 2007, we began commercializing our products on a licensed basis. Our clients will be able to partially or completely license TrialMaster. This business model provides our clients a more cost efficient means of deploying our EDC solutions on a large-scale basis. Our licensed products, falling under the auspices of either a Technology Transition (partial transfer with some services performed by OmniComm) or Technology Transfer, will allow us to broaden our potential client base, provides us with a high-margin revenue source and affords us the ability to improve our competitive position within the EDC industry. Additionally, we continue to focus on adding CROs as strategic and marketing partners. There is an industry-wide emphasis in establishing strategic relationships with CROs. These relationships provide marketing leverage in the form of joint marketing and sales efforts and provide an installed base of trained TrialMaster users. This installed base of users increases our ability to provide rapidly developed, cost effective solutions for our clients.

We feel that the momentum established from new client acquisitions and our ability to retain clients for repeat engagements provide a good operating base from which to build during 2007. We expect to continue increasing the level of resources deployed in our sales and marketing efforts. We feel that a combination of our lean operating environment and increased success in new client acquisition, coupled with our ability to retain our existing clients will allow us to compete effectively within the EDC market.

Because of the losses experienced since we began the commercialization of our TrialMaster application we have needed to continue utilizing the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities to fund our working capital needs. When available, capital has been expensive relative to the valuations that were afforded during the expansion of the Internet sector in 1999 and 2000. The softness in the capital markets earlier this decade coupled with the losses experienced have caused working capital shortfalls. We have used a combination of equity financing and short-term bridge loans to fund our working capital needs. Other than our current capital and capital we may raise from future debt or equity offerings or short-term bridge loans, we do not have any additional sources of working capital.

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

Table of Contents

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

Our ability to continue in existence is dependent on our having sufficient financial resources to bring products and services to market. As a result of our significant losses, negative cash flows from operations, and accumulated deficits for the three months ending March 31, 2007, there is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our auditors Greenberg and Company, LLC, included language which qualified their opinion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern in their report dated February 10, 2007.

RECENT CAPITAL RAISING TRANSACTIONS

From February 2007 through March 2007, we sold an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to three accredited investors resulting in gross proceeds of $2,500,000. This private placement was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

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

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

Deferred Revenue

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

Revenue Recognition Policy

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

The Company recognizes sales, for both financial statement and tax purposes in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”). SAB 101 requires that revenues be recognized ratably over the life of a contract. In accordance with SAB 101 the Company will record revenues over the estimated lives of the contracts.

Stock Based Compensation.

Beginning on January 1, 2006 we began accounting for stock options under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments” (SFAS 123(R)), which requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation. The fair value of stock options and was estimated using a Binomial option valuation model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions in implementing SFAS 123(R), including expected stock price volatility, estimated life and estimated forfeitures of each award. The fair value of equity-based awards is amortized over the vesting period of the award, and we have elected to use the straight-line method of amortization. Prior to the implementation of SFAS 123(R), we accounted for stock options and ESPP shares under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and made pro forma footnote disclosures as required by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure,” which amended SFAS No. 123, “Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation.” Pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share disclosed in the footnotes to the consolidated condensed financial statements were estimated using a Binomial option valuation model. The fair value of any restricted stock granted was calculated based upon the fair market value of OmniComm’s common stock at the date of grant.

EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 123R-4 “Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event.” FSP FAS 123(R)-4 addresses the classification of options and similar instruments issued as employee compensation that allow for cash settlement upon the occurrence of a contingent event and amends paragraphs 32 and A229 of SFAS 123(R). The Company is required to apply the guidance in FSP FAS123(R)-4 in the quarterly period ending April 30, 2006. The impact of the adoption of FSP FAS123(R)-4 was approximately $786,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. We expect that our adoption of FAS 123(R)-4 to have a significant impact on our results of operations in the future.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” This Statement amends FASB 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS 155 resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company does not expect SFAS 155 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 (“FAS 156”), “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” Among other requirements, FAS 156 requires a company to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability when it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract under certain situations. Under FAS 156 an election can also be made for subsequent fair value measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities by class, thus simplifying the accounting and provide for income statement recognition of potential offsetting changes in the fair value of servicing assets, servicing liabilities and related derivative instruments. FAS 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 156 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which is a change in accounting for income taxes. FIN 48 specifies how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured, and derecognized in financial statements; requires certain disclosures of uncertain tax matters; specifies how reserves for uncertain tax positions should be classified on the balance sheet; and provides transition and interim period guidance, among other provisions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Subsequently, in February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. We expect to adopt both SFAS 157 and SFAS 159 as of January 1, 2008. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of these statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The guidance is applicable for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not believe SAB 108 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Background and History

OmniComm Systems, Inc. was originally organized as Coral Development Corp., under the laws of the State of Delaware, on November 19, 1996, by Modern Technology Corp. (“Modern”). Modern originally completed a “blind pool/blank check” offer pursuant to Rule 419 by having Modern distribute Coral Development shares as a dividend to Modern shareholders. On February 17, 1999, OmniComm Systems, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the State of Florida as the Premisys Group, Inc. on March 4, 1997, merged with Coral Development. Coral Development was the surviving entity post-merger. The merged entity changed its name to OmniComm Systems, Inc.

Overview

OmniComm Systems, Inc. provides Web-based electronic data capture (“EDC”) software and services that streamline the clinical research process. TrialMaster® is the hub of OmniComm’s unique EDC product offering. Trial Master is designed to allow clinical trial Sponsors and investigative sites to easily and securely collect, validate, transmit, and analyze clinical study data including patient histories, patient dosing, adverse events and other clinical trial related information. TrialMaster is a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant solution designed to offer clinical trial sponsors the freedom to conduct clinical trials under multiple platforms, with significant flexibility, ease-of-use and complete control over collected data. Developed using forward-looking technology based on Microsoft® .NET architecture, TrialMaster provides a simple “drag and drop” design tool and a straightforward, logical build process

that allows easy and rapid trial development. The system’s GUI (user interface) has been designed to be clean, user friendly and intuitive. Sponsors have access to on-demand importing of various industry import standards including CDISC, core labs and patient diary data. In addition, Trial Master’s export feature allows output to client systems in various formats including SAS, CDISC, CSV, TAB and XML formats. In a market overview entitled “The Promise of Next-Gen eClinical Trial Software” by Forrester Research issued in March 2006; OmniComm was given the highest rating among its competitors for industry middleware.

TrialMaster offers significant business benefits to its customers and is designed to help clinical trial sponsors more efficiently conduct their clinical trials. This efficiency translates into more rapid initiation of data collection, less cost incurred in the data collection process and the ability to make more timely Go/No-Go decisions. We also provide business process consulting services that aim at more effectively integrating EDC into the clinical trial process. Our goal is to provide our clients a data collection process that is streamlined, efficient and cost-effective. We believe that TrialMaster is significantly more efficient than the traditional paper collection methods employed in the past. TrialMaster has been designed to make the trial building process more efficient than the technologies deployed by our competitors. The benefits of managing a clinical trial using TrialMaster for EDC include:

 

   

Real-Time Access to the Data: All interested parties will have real-time access to study data over the Internet as it is generated. This allows for the monitoring of patient enrollments and related metrics, by site, at the earliest time point.

 

   

Faster Study Completion: TrialMaster saves time at the back-end of a study by eliminating most of the time it takes for database “clean-up” in studies involving paper-based Case Report Forms (CRFs). This is done by eliminating most incorrect or incomplete entries at the time of entry. Queries for non-automatic items can be handled shortly thereafter through electronic data review by trial monitors. A 2005 Life Science Insights report estimates that trial sponsors have experienced a 53.3% reduction in clinical trial queries through EDC use . This may be critical if there are any unanticipated future delays in either the commencement or conduct of the study.

 

   

Cost Savings: EDC involves fixed upfront system development costs. The cost of TrialMaster is comparable to paper. The use of EDC can be even more cost effective when applied to multiple studies, which is relatively easy to do in certain therapeutic areas, in which there are a few primary indications and the studies are relatively simple and similar in terms of data captured. A 2005 report by Life Science Insights estimates that EDC users can expect a cost reduction of approximately 17.5% via the adoption of EDC.

A crucial success factor in the EDC industry is the overall penetration of our industry into the domestic and international clinical trial market. CenterWatch, an industry publication, estimates that as of 2004 approximately 15 to 25% of clinical trials are conducted with the use of EDC. CenterWatch estimates that U.S. clinical R & D was at $31.5 billion in 2005. Based on a 2002 CenterWatch report approximately 8.5% of total R & D costs are spent on data management. We expect that we will see an enormous transition towards EDC in the next 5 years with estimates from firms such as CenterWatch and Covance placing EDC use above 60% by the year 2010.

Our Strategy

Our primary goal is to establish OmniComm Systems as a leading EDC software and services provider by offering our customers the highest quality service with a differentiated, user-friendly product. TrialMaster is priced to provide a solid value, that stimulates market demand, while maintaining a continuous focus on cost-containment and operating efficiencies. We intend to follow a controlled growth plan designed to take advantage of our competitive strengths. Our growth has occurred through a combination of continued high-quality service to our existing clients and by adding new clients, often served by higher-cost EDC competitors or less effective “home-grown” EDC systems. The key elements of our strategy are:

Stimulate Demand by providing Clinical Trial Sponsors with High Value EDC. Deploying EDC can be an expensive proposition. Each trial is considered a stand-alone project and can incur data collection costs that are approximately 8.5% of total drug development costs. Because TrialMaster has been designed to make the trial building process more efficient than the technologies deployed by our competitors, we have been able to provide pricing that is in many cases substantially lower than that of the competition. We provide faster trial start-up times,

excellent customer service, including full project management and process improvement consulting—while maintaining significant gross margins. The combination of our cost structure and use of technology allows us to compete both on quality and price.

Emphasize Low Operating Costs. We are committed to keeping our operating and general and administrative costs low. We have achieved our low operating costs primarily by designing a flexible, customizable EDC product that does not require numerous hours of configuration time. TrialMaster has been developed in order to take advantage of several automated software tools. These tools make the trial building process more efficient and automate many tasks our competitors complete manually. We use advanced technologies and employ a well incentivized, productive and highly professional workforce. We are continually focused on improvements in efficiency, and we believe that the newest version of TrialMaster will enhance our ability to broaden our product line. As we grow, we expect some benefit from economies of scale by leveraging our current infrastructure over an expanded operation.

Provide EDC Services to Small and Midsize Pharmaceutical, Bio-Technology, Medical Device Companies and CROs (Clinical Research Organizations). In considering new markets, we focus on service to markets that are underserved. In determining which markets to select, we analyzed the size of the potential market and concluded that providing service to small and mid-sized firms provides a substantial marketing opportunity. These firms conduct many thousands of clinical trials annually. Most do not have the technological or financial wherewithal to develop a product like TrialMaster and often prefer working with small companies themselves. Yet, the advantages of EDC, such as quick trial deployment, cost-savings and more rapid Go/No-Go decisions are just as crucial to this size firm as to their Fortune 500 competitors.

During 2004-2005 we made a strategic decision to begin emphasizing sales to the CRO market. This decision allows us to add a significant number of potential users since outsourcing clinical trials in the US market is an established practice. During 2006 we increased the percentage of our revenues coming from CROs by approximately 155%. There is an industry-wide emphasis in establishing strategic relationships with CROs. In addition, CRO partnerships allow us to leverage the selling and marketing capabilities of the CRO itself. Because of our relatively small sales force and limited resources, this strategy allowed us to augment our selling efforts in a cost-effective manner by forging long-term strategic relationships. Our CRO partners gain the ability to manage the EDC decision-making process proactively and add an extension to their line of products. With the release of our CRO Preferred Program in early 2007, which offers fixed pricing and pay-as-you-go Hosted Services, we look to continue our growth within the CRO marketplace.

Differentiate Through Service. We believe that a key to our initial and long-term success is that we offer customers a robust EDC product and a distinctive experience that includes highly efficient integration with data imports and exports, quick set-up times and a growing list of TrialMaster enhancements. We strive to communicate openly and honestly with customers about their projects, especially when we believe that process improvements can be implemented to improve the overall EDC experience. Unlike most EDC providers, we have a policy of not charging clients for small, incidental changes that should be part of the EDC service in the first place. Based on customer feedback, we believe our service is an important reason why our customers choose us over other EDC providers. In 2004, we continued to improve our customers’ EDC experience by adding a Phase I version of TrialMaster. In 2005 we added TrialMaster Archive, a self-contained program that allows our client to view all of its trial data in the format that it was captured in, and TrialMaster Safety, our pharmacovigilance database which accommodates both the MedDRA® dictionary and customized client dictionaries and is HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.

Competitive Strengths

Low Operating Costs. For the year ended December 31, 2006, our Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) as a percentage of revenues was 35.1%, and for the three months ended March 31, 2007, our Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) as a percentage of revenues was 26.0%,. Our low intrinsic costs allow us to offer prices low enough to stimulate new demand and to attract customers away from higher-priced competitors.

Some of the factors that contribute to our low costs are:

 

   

Our employees are productive. Because our employees are so productive, we are able to spread our fixed costs over a greater number of clinical trials. We achieve high employee productivity in several

ways. Many of our employees are cross-trained to provide help in other functions when needed; our staff is tenured therefore avoiding the growing pains associated with new employment and as discussed, our software has been designed to be flexible and customizable thereby reducing our COGS.

 

   

We emphasize our recruiting and training programs. We take great care to hire and train employees who are enthusiastic and committed to serving our customers and we incentivize them to be productive. Our employee productivity is created through the effective use of advanced technology. For example, we have automated many of the trial building components that our competitors must still hard code for each project. Our compensation packages are designed to align the interests of our employees with our stockholders.

 

   

TrialMaster is the Core of our product offerings. Our competitors have often added functionality to their products via acquisition or by merger. We feel strongly that our core product and programming methodology provide a flexible, customizable base for product and company expansion without the issues inherent in integrating products or software designed by other companies.

Strong Company Culture. We believe that we have created a strong and vibrant service-oriented company culture, which is built around our key values: caring, integrity, innovation and passion. The first step is hiring people who are team-oriented and customer-focused. We reinforce our culture by communicating actively, on a regular basis, with all of our employees, keeping them informed about events at the Company and soliciting feedback for ways to improve teamwork and their working environment.

Proven Management Team. We are led by a management team with significant experience, including experience at international pharmaceutical companies and other EDC providers. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, Cornelis F. Wit, brings extensive worldwide pharmaceutical and general management experience to the Company. Randall G. Smith our Chairman and Chief Technology Officer is the primary architect of TrialMaster. Our Chief Financial Officer, Ronald T. Linares, has worked for publicly held companies as a Chief Financial Officer since 1994. Stephen E. Johnson, Sr. Vice President of Marketing and Sales brings more than 13 years of clinical trials experience in sales management and business development to OmniComm. Jesus. J. Rojas comes to OmniComm from the clinical trial development arena with over 11 years of experience in clinical trial research. Mr. Rojas is our Senior Vice President of Clinical Services and Support. We believe our management team provides us with a diversity of experience and talents with significant cross-functional industry experience. In addition to our management team, two of our board members, Matthew Veatch and Guus van Kesteren, have extensive worldwide pharmaceutical, EDC and CRO industry experience.

Our Business Model

We understand that each customer’s clinical trial support service needs can be very different from trial to trial and that each clinical team’s comfort level with EDC and trial management is unique. Our approach to satisfying the diverse needs of our customers is a “crawl, walk, run” approach to web-based services adoption. TrialMaster has historically been sold under an Application Service Provider (“ASP”) model, providing EDC and complementary services. However, with the release of TrialMaster V4.0 in late 2006, our customers now have several business models available to them — ASP, Technology Transition, and Technology Transfer.

We continue to offer a fully hosted ASP model, but now also offer a Technology Transition model, designed to let the client bring study administration and set-up services in-house yet continue to host the solution with us, and a complete Technology Transfer model for clients that want to bring all the technology in-house. This methodology allows our customers to use our services at their own pace, allowing us the flexibility to deliver eClinical solutions to a broader array of clinical trial sponsors.

Under our ASP and Technology Transition models, mission critical data is housed in IBM’s e-business center, built within a hardened data center environment in Atlanta, Georgia. For Technology Transfer engagements, OmniComm provides an array of implementation services such as installation, configuration, training, and validation support to assist our customers during the migration in-house.

TrialMaster contracts provide for flexible pricing that is based on both the size and duration of the clinical trial. Size parameters for Hosted Services include the number of case report forms used to collect data and the number of sites

utilizing TrialMaster. The client pays a trial setup fee based on the previously mentioned factors, and then pay an on-going maintenance fee for the duration of the clinical trial that provides software, network and site support during the trial. Generally, these contracts will range in duration from three months to five years. Setup fees are generally earned prior to the inception of a trial, however, the revenues are recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition” which requires that the revenues be recognized ratably over the life of the contract. The maintenance fee revenues are earned and recognized monthly. Costs associated with contract revenues are recognized as incurred. In the short-run this method of revenue recognition diminishes the revenues recognized on a periodic basis on our financial statements and obliges us to record a liability. In the long

run, we believe this backlog of “unrecognized” revenue, which are recorded as deferred revenues on our balance sheet, will provide our customers and investors revenue visibility and provide meaningful information on the size and scope of our selling efforts.

Pricing for Technology Transition and Technology Transfer is based on the transfer of a perpetual license and is based on the number of internal named users of the licensee and the volume of CRF pages collected annually. Under our Technology Transfer model there is also a monthly maintenance charge incurred for hosting and hosting related services.

TrialMaster includes an adverse event reporting solution that helps customers comply with the complex global safety regulations and reporting deadlines associated with clinical research, post-approval marketing and drug surveillance by expediting the clinical evaluation and tracking of adverse events. Our customers can enter adverse event data from multiple sources, code, reconcile and analyze the data reports, and then submit required adverse event reports to regulatory authorities via electronic or paper-based methods. TrialMaster provides customers with near real-time visibility of adverse event data, thereby facilitating compliance with regulatory reporting deadlines and more timely identification of therapeutics that may pose risks to patients or not warrant further investment in R & D.

TrialMaster Phase I™ TrialMaster Phase I was designed during 2003 in order to address the unique data capture requirements of Phase I clinical trials. The TrialMaster Phase I application allows the client to capitalize on the benefits of EDC without overhauling and disrupting their Phase I clinic work flow processes. Unlike other applications, TrialMaster Phase I adapts to existing processes allowing clients to increase productivity, reduce trial time, and improve data quality while reducing overall costs.

TrialMaster Phase I has enjoyed a significant amount of commercial success. We believe we are well positioned to bring value to our clients Phase I clinical trials. Because of the tight production cycles involved in Phase I clinical trials only flexible software solutions will be able to provide software solutions on an affordable, efficient basis. TrialMaster Phase I has been successfully deployed into this market.

TrialMaster Archive™ (TMA) presents client data (post database lock) in TrialMaster browser view (tree configuration) delivered to the client via CD in a read-only format with the ability to export to study specific formats. TMA does not require any software installation and affords our clients and the FDA the ability to review clinical trial data by: trial, site, patient, visit, and form parameters. Formats available are read-only and print-friendly, with and without audit trails. A PDF version of the above data is also available. All completed forms are delivered on CD, sorted by site, subject, and visit, in the same configuration as the Browse tab within TrialMaster. The form status icons are displayed in the same manner as a live EDC study.

The trial sponsor receives a CD with data for all sites, including final data exports in the formats their TrialMaster study used. Each site will is provided with a CD with just their site data. The program is self-contained, so no software is needed to view the CD, there are no minimum system requirements and no internet connection is required.

In 2005 we developed a FDA Submission Module within TMA. This Module creates a Casebook containing PDF formatted copies of all CRFs in FDA submission format. This Casebook is fully tabbed and bookmarked making it easy to find and view particular CRFs. The Submission Module is an optional component used in conjunction with our TrialMaster Archive product.

TrialMaster Safety™ As part of our clinical suite of clinical trial solutions, we offer TrialMaster Safety as our Pharmacovigilance database. Linked to TrialMaster, TrialMaster Safety accommodates both the MedDRA® and WHO-Drug dictionaries and is HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.

Technology Transfer

The primary consulting services we offer for Technology Transfers include:

Installation. There are various architectures for deploying a secure EDC solution to remote investigator sites. This service explores different security, performance, and system management alternatives and helps the client design and install an optimal solution to meet your their needs.

Configuration and Study Setup. OmniComm ensures the Trial Master set-up is configured optimally to handle design, capture, and management of site based data capture. OmniComm helps clients design their initial EDC trial(s) so that common standards and business rules are in place to support the unique challenges that apply to site based data capture and electronic Case Report Forms. Ultimately, we believe this will promote reuse of forms and clinical trial procedures and shorten study setup time for future engagements.

Validation. We offer a validation test kit that includes test cases and documentation to completely validate the installation of TrialMaster against regulatory requirements.

Industry Background

A crucial success factor in the EDC industry is the overall penetration of our industry into the domestic and international clinical trial market. CenterWatch, an industry publication, estimates that as of 2004 approximately 15 to 25% of clinical trials are conducted with the use of EDC. CenterWatch estimates that U.S. clinical R & D was at $31.5 billion in 2005. Based on a 2002 CenterWatch report approximately 8.5% of total R & D costs are spent on data management. We expect that we will see an enormous transition towards EDC in the next 5 years with estimates from firms such as CenterWatch and Covance placing EDC use above 60% by the year 2010.

We believe that certain industry and regulatory trends summarized below have led pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies to increase R & D for proprietary new drugs and medical devices. These trends have required companies to conduct increasingly complex clinical trials, and develop multinational clinical trial capability, while seeking to control costs.

Increasing Cost Containment Pressures. The increasing pressure to control rising health care costs, and the penetration of managed health care and health care reform, have caused changes in the pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology industries.

Managed Care. Managed care providers and insurance carriers have become major participants in the delivery of pharmaceuticals along with pharmacy benefits organizations. These companies are seeking to lower and control the prices of drugs and devices.

Generic Drug Effect. Competition from generic drugs following patent expiration has resulted in increasing market pressure on profit margins.

Increasingly Complex and Stringent Regulation. Increasingly complex and stringent regulatory requirements have increased the volume and quality of data required for regulatory filings and escalated the demand for real- time, high- accuracy data collection and analysis during the drug development process.

Reducing Drug Development Time Requirements. To reduce costs, maintain market share and speed revenue production, pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology companies face increasing pressure to bring new drugs to market in the shortest possible time.

New Drug Development Pressures. To respond to the demand for products for an aging population and for the treatment of chronic disorders and life-threatening conditions, R & D expenditures have increased as a result of the constant pressure to develop and patent new therapies.

Growth of Biotechnology Industry. The biotechnology industry and the number of drugs produced by it which require FDA approval have grown substantially over the past decade.

These trends have created even greater competitive demands on the industry to bring products to market efficiently and quickly.

Market Opportunity

Clinical trials are the critical component in bringing a drug or medical device to market. All prescription drug and medical device therapies must undergo extensive testing as part of the regulatory approval process. Many clinical trials continue to be conducted in an antiquated manner and fail to optimize the resources available for a successful clinical trial. We believe that our solutions significantly reduce costs, improve data quality and expedite results. The data integrity, system reliability, management control and auditable quality of TrialMaster will aid clinical trial sponsors that want to improve clinical trial efficiencies, speed-up results and ensure regulatory compliance.

In order for a drug or medical device to be marketed in the United States, Europe or Japan, the drug or device must undergo extensive testing and regulatory review to determine that it is safe and effective. The regulatory review process for new drugs and devices is time consuming and expensive. A new drug application (“NDA”) can take up to two years before the FDA approves it. This is in addition to five to nine years of studies required to provide the data to support the NDA. The amount of money and time currently spent on clinical trials is enormous. The following points are illustrative of clinical trial industry dynamics:

 

   

Drug companies lose as much as $32.9 million in potential revenue for each day a trial is delayed on a blockbuster drug such as Lipitor™.

 

   

Of 5,000 screened chemical compounds approximately 250 enter preclinical testing, 5 enter clinical testing and only one is approved by the FDA to be marketed to consumers

 

   

According to a 2004 Thompson CenterWatch report, the average drug approved for sale by the FDA cost approximately $1.13 Billion to bring to market.

Included in the above cost analysis of bringing a new medicine to market are expenses of project failures and the impact that long development times have on investment costs. The estimate also accounts for out-of-pocket discovery and preclinical development costs, post-approval marketing studies and the cost of capital. Lengthening development times caused by complex disease targets and a more intensive regulatory process have more than tripled the cost of developing a drug over the past 15 years. The estimates which were published as part of a 2001 Tufts University study cite that many factors are driving up development costs, including a greater emphasis on developing treatments for chronic diseases, the increasing size of trials and the rising cost of recruiting subjects.

Success in the EDC market is predicated on several criteria. As the industry grows and matures the ability of participants to fulfill the varied needs of clinical trial sponsors becomes more critical to achieving operational and financial success. These success criteria include:

 

   

Deployment options. EDC vendors should provide clinical trial sponsors flexibility in choosing whether to deploy EDC on an ASP, Technology Transfer or Technology Transition basis. The ultimate criteria for selection of the means of technology delivery is often predicated on the size of the clinical trial sponsor.

 

   

Interoperability. Most clinical trial sponsors have invested in other technology platforms to run their trials. These include clinical data management systems, interactive voice response systems and Central Labs. The ability for an EDC solution to integrate with existing technology platforms is a key decision making factor.

 

   

Scalability. The ability to scale the EDC solutions to absorb additional projects seamlessly is important to trial sponsors. Scalable solutions will retain their speed and performance metrics as projects and engagements increase in size.

 

   

Migration from hosted to technology transfer solutions. When clinical trial sponsors decide to bring the EDC services and solutions in-house it is vital that they do not experience a degradation speed, performance or system reliability.

 

   

Flexibility. The more robust EDC systems will be designed to provide the ability to increase functionality and guarantee interoperability with other industry technology solutions. As the industry and technology matures clinical trial sponsors will demand new functionality without loss of performance or reliability.

 

   

Vendor stability. EDC vendors should be able to demonstrate a viable business model, and financial structure that can sustain a long-term relationship with clinical trial sponsors.

 

   

Systematic adoption of best practices. EDC vendors will be expected to assimilate best-practice workflows and process tools.

Professional services. The adoption and implementation of EDC into a clinical trial environment requires significant financial, technical and human resource investment on the part of clinical trial sponsors. A robust offering of professional services that fully integrate with the technological EDC offerings will be considered an integral part of any EDC purchase.

Sales and Marketing

We sell our products through a direct sales force and through our relationships with CROs. Our marketing efforts to-date have focused on increasing market awareness of our firm and products. These efforts have primarily been comprised of attendance and participation in industry conferences and seminars. A primary focus of our future marketing efforts will be to continue increasing our market penetration and market awareness. Our efforts during 2007 will include: increasing the number of sales personnel employed; increasing our attendance and marketing efforts at industry conferences and deploying a direct sales force in Europe. As of March 31, 2007 our sales and marketing function consisted of eight field sales personnel. In addition, the efforts of our CEO and Chairman are directed at both business development and strategic planning issues.

Research and Development

Our ability to compete within the EDC industry is predicated on our ability to continue enhancing and broadening the scope of solutions offered through TrialMaster. Our R & D efforts are focused on developing new, complementary software solutions, as well as enhancing our existing software solutions through the addition of increased functionality. Our development of TrialMaster and its subsequent improvements and refinements have been handled by our in-house staff of developers. Our philosophy towards software development has been to design and implement all of our solutions through in-house development. We expect future R & D efforts to be aimed at broadening the scope of TrialMaster functionality. These efforts may include select strategic alliances with best-in-class software and service partners possessing clinical trial industry experience. During fiscal 2006, we spent approximately $742,000 on R & D activities, the majority of which represented salaries to our developers. In fiscal 2005 we spent approximately $478,000 on R & D activities, the majority of which represents salaries to our programmers and developers.

Intellectual Property

Our success and ability to compete are dependent on our efforts to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology. We rely upon a combination of trademark, trade secret, copyright and unfair competition laws, as well as contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. In addition, we attempt to protect our intellectual property and proprietary information by requiring our employees and consultants to enter into confidentiality, non-competition and assignment of inventions agreements. These legal protections afford only limited protection for our technology. We have registered trademarks in the United States. Our principal registered trademarks are our company name “OmniComm Systems” and our product name, “TrialMaster.” We cannot predict whether these trademark registrations will provide meaningful protection. Our agreements with employees, consultants and others who participate in development activities could be breached. We may not have

 

35


Table of Contents

adequate remedies for any breach, and our trade secrets may otherwise become known or independently developed by our competitors or other third parties. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and effective copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret protection may not be available in those jurisdictions.

Due to rapid technological change, we believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product and service developments and enhancements to existing products and services are more important than the various legal protections of our technology to establish and maintain a technology leadership position.

We currently hold several domain names, including the domain name “omnicomm.com” and “trialmaster.com”. Additionally, legislative proposals have been made by the U.S. federal government that would afford broad protection to owners of databases of information, such as stock quotes. The protection of databases already exists in the European Union. The adoption of legislation protecting database owners could have a material adverse effect on our business, requiring us to develop additional, complex data protection features for our software products.

Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our software solutions or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. The laws of many countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. There can be no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technology. Any failure to meaningfully protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

Competition

The market for electronic data collection, data management and adverse event reporting systems is highly competitive, rapidly evolving, fragmented and is subject to changing technology, shifting customer needs and frequent introductions of new products and services. We compete with systems and paper-based processes utilized by existing or prospective customers, as well as other commercial vendors of EDC applications, clinical data management systems and adverse event reporting software, including:

 

   

systems developed internally by existing or prospective customers;

 

   

vendors of EDC, clinical trial management systems and adverse event reporting product suites, including Oracle Clinical, a business unit of Oracle Corporation and PhaseForward, Inc.;

 

   

vendors of stand-alone EDC, data management and adverse event reporting products; and

 

   

CROs with internally developed EDC, clinical data management systems or adverse event reporting systems.

Our ability to remain competitive will depend to a great extent upon our ongoing performance in the areas of product development, customer support and service delivery. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include the following:

 

   

product functionality and breadth of integration among the EDC, clinical trial management systems and adverse event reporting solutions;

 

   

reputation and financial stability of the vendor;

 

   

low total cost of ownership and demonstrable benefits for customers;

 

   

depth of expertise and quality of consulting and training services;

 

   

performance, security, scalability, flexibility and reliability of the solutions;

 

   

speed and ease of implementation and integration; and

 

   

sales and marketing capabilities, and the quality of customer support.

Table of Contents

We believe that our technical expertise, the knowledge and experience of our principals in the industry, quality of service, responsiveness to client needs and speed in delivering solutions will allow us to compete favorably within this market. Further, we believe that none of the aforementioned companies have developed an approach to the clinical trial process that is as flexible and customizable as TrialMaster. However, many of our competitors and potential competitors have greater name recognition, longer operating histories and significantly greater resources. There can be no assurance that our current or prospective competitors will not offer or develop products or services that are superior to, or that achieve greater market acceptance than, our products and services.

Government Regulation

The conduct of clinical trials is subject to regulation and regulatory guidance associated with the approval of new drugs, biological products and medical devices imposed upon the clinical trial process by the U.S. federal government and related regulatory authorities such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and by foreign governments. Use of our software products, services and hosted solutions by entities engaged in clinical trials must be done in a manner that is compliant with these regulations and regulatory guidance. Failure to do so could have an adverse impact on a clinical trial sponsor’s ability to obtain regulatory approval of new drugs, biological products or medical devices. If our product and service offerings fail to allow our customers and potential customers to operate in a manner that is compliant with applicable regulations and regulatory guidance, clinical trial sponsors and other entities conducting clinical research may be unwilling to use our software products, services and hosted solutions. Accordingly, we design our product and service offerings to allow our customers and potential customers to operate in a manner that is compliant with applicable regulations and regulatory guidance. We also expend considerable time and effort monitoring regulatory developments that could impact the use of our products and services by our customers and use this information in designing or modifying our product and service offerings.

The following is an overview of some of the regulations that our customers and potential customers are required to comply with in the conduct of clinical trials.

The clinical testing of drugs, biologics and medical devices is subject to regulation by the FDA and other governmental authorities worldwide. The use of software during the clinical trial process must adhere to the regulations and regulatory guidance known as Good Clinical Practices, other various codified FDA regulations, the Consolidated Guidance for Industry from the International Conference on Harmonization regarding Good Clinical Practice for Europe, Japan and the United States and other guidance documents. Our products, services and hosted solutions are developed using our domain expertise and are designed to allow compliance with applicable rules or regulations.

In addition to the aforementioned regulations and regulatory guidance, the FDA has developed regulations and regulatory guidance concerning electronic records and electronic signatures. The regulations, codified as 21 CFR Part 11, are interpreted for clinical trials in a guidance document titled Computerized Systems Used in Clinical Trials. This regulatory guidance stipulates that computerized systems used to capture or manage clinical trial data must meet certain standards for attributability, accuracy, retrievability, traceability, inspectability, validity, security and dependability. Other guidance documents have been issued that also help in the interpretation of 21 CFR Part 11.

Regulation of the use and disclosure of personal medical information is complex and growing. Federal legislation in the United States, known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, imposes a number of requirements on the use and disclosure of “protected health information” which is individually identifiable, including standards for the use and disclosure by the health care facilities and providers who are involved in clinical trials. HIPAA also imposes on these healthcare facilities and providers standards to assure the confidentiality of health information stored or processed electronically, including a series of administrative, technical and physical security procedures. This may affect us in several ways. Many users of our products and services are directly regulated under HIPAA and, to the extent our products cannot be utilized in a manner that is consistent with the users’ HIPAA compliance requirements, our products will likely not be selected. In addition, we may be directly affected by HIPAA and similar state privacy laws. Under HIPAA, to the extent we perform functions or activities on behalf of customers that are directly regulated by such medical privacy laws, such customers may be required to obtain satisfactory assurance, in the form of a written agreement, that we will comply with a number of the same HIPAA requirements.

Director Independence; Committees of our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors established a Governance and Nominating Committee, Compensation Committee and an Audit Committee. From time to time, the Board of Directors may establish additional committees.

Audit Committee. The Company has an audit committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the engagement of our independent public accountants, approves services rendered by our accountants, reviews the activities and recommendations of our internal audit department, and reviews and evaluates our accounting systems, financial controls and financial personnel. The Board has previously adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee on April 24, 2003. The Audit Committee is presently composed of Mr. van Kesteren Each member of the Audit Committee is independent, as independence for audit committee members is defined in the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.

We currently do not have an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B. In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:

 

   

understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements,

 

   

is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves,

 

   

has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements,

 

   

understands internal controls over financial reporting, and

 

   

understands audit committee functions.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee establishes and administers our executive compensation practices and policies, reviews the individual elements of total compensation for elected officers and recommends salary adjustments to the Board of Directors. In addition, the Committee determines the number of performance shares and other equity incentives awarded to elected officers and the terms and conditions on which they are granted, amends compensation plans within the scope of the Committee’s authority and recommends plans and plan amendments to the Board, sets company policy for employee benefit programs and plans and oversees administration of employee retirement plans and various other benefit plans as we may establish from time to time. The Committee consists of Mr. van Kesteren. Please see Compensation, Discussion and Analysis for additional compensation related disclosures.

Governance and Nominating Committee: The Governance and Nominating Committee, established in 2002, reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to:

 

   

the responsibilities and functions of the Board and Board committees and with respect to Board compensation,

 

   

the composition and governance of the Board, including recommending candidates to fill vacancies on, or to be elected or re-elected to, the Board,

 

40


Table of Contents
   

candidates for election as Chief Executive Officer and other corporate officers,

 

   

monitoring the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and our plans for senior management succession,

 

   

reviewing and recommending the policies and procedures necessary for the effective management of our company, and

 

   

compliance with all Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.

The Committee uses various methods to identify director nominees. The Committee assesses the appropriate size and composition of the Board and the particular needs of the Board based on whether any vacancies are expected due to retirement or otherwise. Candidates may come to the attention of the Committee through current board members, stockholders, or other sources. All candidates are evaluated based on a review of the individual’s qualifications, skills, independence, and expertise.

Our Governance and Nominating Committee, operates under a written charter which was adopted during calendar 2003. The charter is available for review on our website, www.omnicomm.com.

Mr. Veatch is the only current member of the Governance and Nominating Committee. Each member of the Governance and Nominating Committee is independent, as independence is defined in the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. The Committee does consider nominees selected by our stockholders.

Independent Directors

Two of the members of our Board of Directors (Guus van Kesteren and Matthew D. Veatch) are “independent” within the meaning of Marketplace Rule 4200 of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees

Working closely with the full Board, the Governance and Nominating Committee develops criteria for open Board positions, taking into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including, among others, the current composition of the Board, the range of talents, experiences and skills that would best complement those already represented on the Board, the balance of management and independent Directors and the need for financial or other specialized expertise. Applying these criteria, the Committee considers candidates for Board membership suggested by its members and other Board members, as well as management and shareholders. Once the Committee has identified a prospective nominee—whether the prospective nominee is recommended by a shareholder or otherwise—it makes an initial determination as to whether to conduct a full evaluation, taking into account the information provided to the Committee with the recommendation of the candidate as well as the Committee’s own knowledge, supplemented as appropriate by inquiries to third parties. The preliminary determination is based primarily on the need for additional Board members and the likelihood that the prospective nominee can satisfy the criteria that the Committee has established. If the Committee determines, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and other Directors as appropriate, that additional consideration is warranted, it will gather additional information about the prospective nominee’s background and experience. The Committee then evaluates the prospective nominee against the specific criteria that it has established for the position. If the Committee decides, on the basis of its preliminary review, to proceed with further consideration, members of the Committee, as well as other members of the Board as appropriate, interview the nominee. After completing this evaluation and interview, the Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board, which makes the final determination whether to nominate or appoint the new Director after considering the Committee’s report.

Right to Designate Members to our Board of Directors

In connection with our private placement of Series A Preferred Stock in July 1999, in which Noesis Capital Corp. acted as placement agent, we granted Noesis Capital Corp. the right to designate through July 2004 two directors to our Board of Directors pursuant to which Mr. Wit and Mr. van Kesteren were appointed to our Board of Directors.

In connection with our private placement of our Series C Preferred Stock in 2002, in which Noesis Capital Corp. acted as placement agent, we granted Noesis Capital Corp. the right to designate two directors to our Board of Directors. As of the date of this report, Noesis Capital Corp. had not yet exercised the right to name either director.

Code of Ethics

Effective March 1, 2003, our Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, all of our employees and member of our Board of Directors. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

   

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

   

full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

 

   

compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

 

   

the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

 

   

accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company’s personnel shall be accorded full access to our President with respect to any matter that may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of our company’s personnel are to be accorded full access to our company’s Board of Directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our President.

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our company’s President. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the President, the incident must be reported to any member of our Board of Directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed as Exhibit D to our Proxy Statement dated June 4, 2003 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: OmniComm Systems, Inc., 2101 W.

We do not pay fees to directors for their attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or committees; however, we may adopt a policy of making such payments in the future. We have not established standard compensation arrangements for our directors and the compensation payable, if any, to each individual for their service on our Board will be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors based upon the amount of time expended by each of the directors on our behalf. We will reimburse out-of-pocket expenses incurred by directors in attending board and committee meetings.

Each new non-employee Director elected to the Board of Directors receives an initial grant of stock options on the day following the Director’s date of election or appointment. The vesting on these options occurs in one-third increments on OmniComm Systems’ annual meeting date each year thereafter. Each year following OmniComm Systems’ annual meeting of shareholders, non-employee Directors receive a grant of stock options. The vesting of the stock options stock grants occurs one year after the grant date.

Salaries are administered to achieve a 50th percentile market rate, but vary by individual based on performance and other considerations. Bonus and Annual Incentive compensation cash payments also vary based on corporate, organizational unit and individual performance. OmniComm Systems’ did not award Annual Incentive awards cash payments at the end of fiscal 2006. Approximately three employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible for Annual Incentive awards based upon the achievement of corporate and individual goals established at the beginning of the year. Corporate goals are established by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors; individual goals are proposed by the CEO and the CTO, and recommended and approved by the Compensation Committee and, with respect to the CEO, approved by the Board of Directors. In 2006, certain executives and other key employees were awarded restricted stock which vested upon grant. Also in 2006, executives were awarded stock options with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the OmniComm Systems’ stock on the date of grant and vesting periods determined by the relative quantity of options granted. The number of restricted and option shares awarded were determined in accordance with a 50th percentile market rate long-term incentive compensation policy, with actual grants to individuals varying based on individual historic and expected performance. Retirement income benefits are provided by various pension and retirement benefit plans (see Compensation Discussion & Analysis).

For 2006, OmniComm Systems awarded some combination of restricted stock and stock options to five executive officers. Guidelines for determining the awards to Named Executive Officers were derived from long-term incentive target amounts established annually. Actual restricted stock and stock option grants in 2006 varied from the guideline number of shares to individual executives based on the executive’s contributions to the performance of the Company in 2005 and expected contributions in the future, as determined by the CEO. The 2006 restricted stock and stock option awards normally vest one-third each year after grant. Stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market value of OmniComm Systems’ stock on the date the grant was approved by the Board of Directors. Restricted stock and stock option grants to Mr. Wit in 2006 were in accordance with terms of his employment contract.

Employment Contracts and Other Arrangements

This section discusses the employment contracts and transition or other severance agreements for the Chief Executive Officer and the other Named Executive Officers.

Cornelis F. Wit, President and Chief Executive Officer and Director

In December 2006, we renewed an employment agreement with Mr. Cornelis F. Wit to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and President through December 31, 2007. As part of the renewal the employment agreement will renew for successive one-year terms unless the employment agreement is expressly cancelled by either Mr. Wit or the Company ninety days prior to the end of the term. Mr. Wit receives an annual salary of $240,200 payable in cash and/or stock plus a bonus tied to our operating results. As part of the agreement incentive options are awardable under the agreement based upon sales and cash flow objectives. In the event that the we consummate a transaction with a third party resulting in the sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination involving all or a majority of our business, assets or stock, whether effected in one transaction or a series of transactions due to the initiative of Mr. Wit (whether or not during the term of the agreement), Mr. Wit will receive a fee equal to 2% of the aggregate consideration. The agreement also provides, among other things, for participation in employee benefits available to employees and executives. Under the terms of the agreement, we may terminate Mr. Wit’s employment upon 30 days notice of a material breach and Mr. Wit may terminate the agreement under the same terms and conditions. The employment agreement contains customary non-disclosure provisions, as well as a one-year non-compete clause if Mr. Wit leaves the company voluntarily or a six-month non-compete clause following his termination by the Company.

Randall G. Smith, Chairman, and Chief Technology Officer

In December 2006, we renewed our employment agreement with Mr. Randall G. Smith to serve as our Chief Technology Officer. As part of the renewal the employment agreement will renew for successive one-year terms unless the employment agreement is expressly cancelled by either Mr. Smith or the Company ninety days prior to the end of the term. Under the terms of the agreement, as compensation for his services, Mr. Smith receives an annual salary of $233,200 to be paid in the form of cash and/or stock, as agreed upon by the parties, and he is eligible to receive a bonus based upon achieving technology related milestones. The agreement also provides, among other things, for participation in employee benefit plans or programs applicable to employees and executives. Under the terms of the agreement, we may terminate the employment of Mr. Smith upon 30 days notice of a material breach and Mr. Smith may terminate the agreement under the same terms and conditions. If Mr. Smith is terminated by us for any reason other than for cause, we must pay him severance benefits equal to six months salary.

The agreement renews automatically for one-year terms unless expressly cancelled by either Mr. Smith or the Company in writing ninety (90) days prior to termination of the term.

Stock Option Plan

Our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1998 Plan”) was adopted in January 1998, and was amended in 2004 by our Board of Directors and shareholders to increase the number of shares available under the 1998 Plan to 7,500,000 shares, and further amended in 2006 by our Board of Directors and shareholders to increase the number of shares available under the 1998 Plan to 12,500,000 shares. As of the date of this prospectus, we have outstanding options under the 1998 Plan to purchase an aggregate of 8,824,270 shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $2.75 per share.

The purpose of the 1998 Plan is to provide a means through which we can attract able persons to enter and remain in our employ, and to provide a means whereby those key persons upon whom the responsibilities of our successful administration and management rest, and whose present and potential contributions to our welfare are of importance, can acquire and maintain stock ownership, thereby strengthening their commitment to our welfare and promoting an identity of interest between stockholders and these key persons.

A further purpose of the 1998 Plan is to provide such key persons with additional incentive and reward opportunities designed to enhance our profitable growth. So that the appropriate incentive can be provided, the 1998 Plan provides for granting incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, phantom stock unit awards and performance share units, or any combination of the foregoing.

We believe that the 1998 Plan encourages the participants to contribute materially to our growth and will align the economic interests of the participants with those of our stockholders.

General

We have reserved 12,500,000 shares of our common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the 1998 Plan. These shares may be authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or may be shares that we have reacquired, including shares we may purchase on the open market. If any options or stock appreciation rights granted under the 1998 Plan expire or are terminated for any reason without being exercised or restricted shares or performance shares are forfeited, the shares of common stock underlying that award will again be available for grant under the 1998 Plan.

Administration of the 1998 Plan

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors administers and interprets the 1998 Plan. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to designate participants, grant awards and determine the terms of all grants, subject to the terms of the 1998 Plan. The Compensation Committee has the full authority to interpret the 1998 Plan and to make rules, regulations, agreements and instruments for implementing the 1998 Plan.

Eligibility

Grants may be made to any of our employees and to any non-employee member of the Board of Directors. Key advisors who perform services for us or any of our subsidiaries are eligible if they render bona fide services, not as part of the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.

Table of Contents

Options

Incentive stock options may be granted to employees, directors and key advisors. Non-qualified stock options may be granted to employees, key advisors and non-employee directors. The exercise price of common stock underlying an option is determined by the Compensation Committee at the time the option is granted, and may be equal to, greater than, or less than the fair market value of such stock on the date the option is granted; provided, that the exercise price of an incentive stock option must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the incentive stock option is granted, and the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of our common stock, or who is an officer or director, cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value. Unless the applicable option agreement provides otherwise, a participant can exercise an option award after the option has fully vested, by paying the applicable exercise price in cash, or, with the approval of the Compensation Committee, by delivering shares of common stock owned by the grantee and having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price of the grants, or by such other method as the Compensation Committee approves, including payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board.

Options vest according to the terms and conditions determined by the Compensation Committee and specified in the grant instrument. The Compensation Committee determines the term of each option up to a maximum of 10 years from the date of grant except that the term of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of our common stock, or who is an officer or director, may not exceed five years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any or all outstanding options at any time for any reason.

Restricted Stock

The Compensation Committee determines the number of restricted shares granted to a participant, subject to the maximum plan limit described above. Grants of restricted shares will be conditioned on such performance requirements, vesting provisions, transfer restrictions or other restrictions and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine in its sole discretion. The restrictions will remain in force during a restriction period set by the Compensation Committee. If the grantee is no longer employed by us during the restriction period or if any other conditions are not met, the restricted shares grant will terminate as to all shares covered by the grant for which the restrictions are still applicable, and those shares must be immediately returned to us.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Compensation Committee can grant stock appreciation rights (SARs) to any participant, subject to the maximum plan limit described above. At any time, the Compensation Committee may grant an SAR award, either separately or in connection with any option; provided, that, if an SAR is granted in connection with an incentive stock option, it must be granted at the same time that as underlying option is granted. The Compensation Committee will determine the base amount of the SAR at the time that it is granted and will establish any applicable vesting provisions, transfer restrictions or other restrictions as it may determine is appropriate in its sole discretion. When a participant exercises an SAR, he or she will receive the amount by which the value of the stock has appreciated since the SAR was granted, which may be payable to the participant in cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Performance Share Awards

The Compensation Committee can grant performance share awards to any employee or key advisor. A performance share award represents the right to receive an amount based on the value of our common stock, but may be payable only if certain performance goals that are established by the Compensation Committee are met. If the Compensation Committee determines that the applicable performance goals have been met, a performance share award will be payable to the participant in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Amendment and Termination of the 1998 Plan

Our Board of Directors can at any time terminate the 1998 Plan. With the express written consent of an individual participant, the board may cancel or reduce or otherwise alter the outstanding awards thereunder if, in its judgment, the tax, accounting, or other effects of the 1998 Plan or potential payouts thereunder would not be in our best interest. The board may, at any time, or from time to time, amend or suspend and, if suspended, reinstate, the 1998 Plan in whole or in part, provided, however, that without further stockholder approval the board shall not:

 

   

Increase the maximum number of shares of our common stock which may be issued on exercise of awards under the 1998 Plan;

 

   

Change the maximum option price;

 

   

Extend the maximum option term;

 

   

Extend the termination date of the 1998 Plan; or

 

   

Change the class of persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan.

Adjustment Provisions

In the event that certain reorganizations of our company or similar transactions or events occur, the maximum number of shares of stock available for grant, the maximum number of shares that any participant in the 1998 Plan may be granted, the number of shares covered by outstanding grants, the kind of shares issued under the 1998 Plan and the price per share or the applicable market value of such grants shall be adjusted by the committee to reflect changes to our common stock as a result of such occurrence to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights of any individual under the 1998 Plan.

Change of Control and Reorganization

Upon a change of control, as defined in the 1998 Plan, the Compensation Committee may:

 

   

determine that the outstanding grants, whether in the form of options and stock appreciation rights, shall immediately vest and become exercisable;

 

   

determine that the restrictions and conditions on all outstanding restricted stock or performance share awards shall immediately lapse;

 

   

require that grantees surrender their outstanding options and stock appreciation rights in exchange for payment by us, in cash or common stock, in an amount equal to the amount by which the then fair market value of the shares of our common stock subject to the grantee’s unexercised options or stock appreciation rights exceeds the exercise price of those options; and/or

 

   

after giving grantees an opportunity to exercise their outstanding options and stock appreciation rights, terminate any or all unexercised options and stock appreciation rights.

Upon a reorganization, as defined in the 1998 Plan, where we are not the surviving entity or where we survive only as a subsidiary of another entity, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, all outstanding option or SAR grants shall be assumed by or replaced with comparable options or rights by the surviving corporation. In addition, the Compensation Committee may require that grantees surrender their outstanding options in exchange for payment by us, in cash or common stock, at an amount equal to the amount by which the then fair market value of the shares of common stock subject to the grantee’s unexercised options exceeds the exercise price of those options and/or after accelerating all vesting and giving grantees an opportunity to exercise their outstanding options or SARs, terminate any or all unexercised options and SARs.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders’ derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach

 

52


Table of Contents

of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Our By Laws also provide that the Board of Directors may also authorize us to indemnify our employees or agents, and to advance the reasonable expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to our directors and officers. As of the date of this prospectus, the Board of Directors has not extended indemnification rights to persons other than directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Preferred stock

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

 

   

dividend and liquidation preferences,

 

   

voting rights,

 

   

conversion privileges, and

 

   

redemption terms.

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

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth:

 

   

the name of each selling stockholder;

 

   

the amount of common stock owned beneficially by each selling stockholder (which includes those shares underlying options and warrants);

 

   

the number of shares that may be offered by each selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus;

 

   

the number of shares to be owned by each selling stockholder following sale of the shares covered by this prospectus; and

 

   

the percentage of our common stock to be owned by each selling stockholder following sale of the shares covered by this prospectus (based on 56,089,659 shares of our common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus), as adjusted to give effect to the issuance of shares upon the conversion of the named selling stockholder’s preferred stock and exercise of the named selling stockholder’s warrants, but no other person’s preferred stock or warrants.

The costs of registering the shares offered by the selling stockholders are being paid by us. The selling stockholders will pay all other costs of the sale of the shares offered by them.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to outstanding voting securities, as well as any voting securities which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days, through the conversion or exercise of any security or other right. The information as to the number of shares of our common stock owned by each selling stockholder is based upon our books and records and the information provided by our transfer agent.

We may amend or supplement this prospectus, from time to time, to update the disclosure set forth in the table. All of the shares being registered for resale under this prospectus for the selling security holders may be offered hereby. Because the selling stockholders identified in the table may sell some or all of the shares owned by them which are included in this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares available for resale hereby that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of this offering. We have, therefore, assumed for the purposes of the following table, that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares owned beneficially by them, which are covered by this prospectus, but will not sell any other shares of our common stock that they presently own.

None of the selling stockholders has had, or within the past three years has had, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates other than as set forth herein. None of the selling stockholders are broker/dealers or affiliates of broker/dealers other than as set forth above. Noesis Capital Corp. is a registered NASD broker-dealer and it received the securities as compensation for acting as placement agent for our Series C Preferred Stock offering. To our knowledge Noesis Capital Corp., nor any of the selling stockholders, have any arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution of such securities.

We have agreed to pay full costs and expenses, incentives to the issuance, offer, sale and delivery of the shares, including all fees and expenses in preparing, filing and printing the registration statement and prospectus and related exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto and mailing of those items. We will not pay selling commissions and expenses associated with any sale by the selling security holders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling security holders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

   

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

   

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

   

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

   

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

   

privately negotiated transactions;

 

   

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

 

   

broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

   

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

   

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.

 

72


Table of Contents

Broker-dealers may agree to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for us or a selling shareholder, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions, which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above, in the over-the-counter markets or otherwise at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices then related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, broker-dealers may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such shares, commissions as described above. In the event that shares are resold to any broker-dealer, as principal, who is acting as an underwriter, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, identifying the broker-dealer(s), providing required information relating to the plan of distribution and filing any agreement(s) with such broker-dealer(s) as an exhibit. The involvement of a broker-dealer as an underwriter in the offering will require prior clearance of the terms of underwriting compensation and arrangements from the Corporate Finance Department of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

The selling security holder and these broker-dealers and agents and any other participating broker-dealers, or agents may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, in connection with the sales. Because selling security holders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

The selling security holders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares or common stock or warrants owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424 (b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling security holders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors-in-interest as selling security holders under this prospectus.

The selling security holders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. We will supplement this prospectus to disclose the names of any pledges, donees, transferees, or other successors-in-interest that intend to offer common stock through this prospectus.

Special considerations related to penny stock rules

Shares of our common stock may be subject to rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks”. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in those securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document which contains the following:

 

   

a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

 

   

a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to these duties or other requirements of securities laws;

 

   

a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the “bid” and “ask” price;

 

   

a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

 

   

definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and

 

   

other information as the SEC may require by rule or regulation.

 

73


Table of Contents

Prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer the following:

 

   

the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

 

   

the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

 

   

the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

 

   

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling those shares because our common stock may be subject to the penny stock rules.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

At the date of this prospectus, we have 56,089,569 shares of common stock issued and outstanding of which 27,183,248 shares are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by an affiliate of ours. This does not include 12,500,000 shares issuable upon exercise of options under our stock option plan, 8,824,270 of which have been granted or 1,768,350 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants. They may be resold by their holders as long as they are covered by a current registration statement or under an available exemption from registration.

The remaining 28,906,321 shares of common stock currently outstanding are restricted securities. The remaining restricted shares will become eligible for sale under Rule 144 at various times provided that they have been held for at least one year. In general, Rule 144 permits a stockholder who has owned restricted shares for at least one year, to sell without registration, within a three month period, up to one percent of our then outstanding common stock. We must be current in our reporting obligations in order for a stockholder to sell shares under Rule 144. In addition, shareholders other than our officers, directors or 10% or greater stockholders who have owned their shares for at least two years, may sell them without volume limitation or the need for our reports to be current.

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of common stock or the availability of these shares for sale will have on the market price of the shares from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market could adversely affect market prices for the common stock and could damage our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Schneider Weinberger and Beilly, LLC, 2200 Corporate Boulevard, N.W., Suite 210, Boca Raton, 33431.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

OmniComm Systems, Inc.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OmniComm Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based upon 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis of designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 statements presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements presented above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of OmniComm Systems, Inc. at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 3. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

OmniComm Systems, Inc. is a healthcare technology company that provides Web-based electronic data capture (“EDC”) solutions and related value-added services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, clinical research organizations, and other clinical trial sponsors. TrialMaster® allows clinical trial sponsors and investigative sites to securely collect, validate, transmit, and analyze clinical trial data.

Our ability to compete within the EDC industry is predicated on our ability to continue enhancing and broadening the scope of solutions offered through TrialMaster. Our research and development efforts are focused on developing new, complementary software solutions, as well as enhancing our existing software solutions through the addition of increased functionality. During fiscal 2006, we spent approximately $742,000 on research and development activities, the majority of which represented salaries to our developers. In fiscal 2005 we spent approximately $478,000 on research and development activities, which include costs associated with customization of the TrialMaster software for our client’s projects.

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The Company’s accounts include those of all its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with (i) accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and (ii) the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2005 financial statements to conform to the 2006 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on net income (loss) or shareholders’ equity.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in one reportable segment.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

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

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are judged as to collectibility by management and an allowance for bad debts is established as necessary. The Company had recorded an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable of $58,539 and $58,539 as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Accounts receivable subject the Company to its highest potential concentration of credit risk. The Company reserves for credit losses. The Company does not require collateral on trade accounts receivables. Our top five customers accounted for approximately 53% of our revenues during 2006 and approximately 54% of our revenues during 2005. One customer accounted individually for 10%, approximately $609,282, or more of our revenues during 2006.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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

DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred revenue represents cash advances received in excess of revenue earned on on-going contracts. Payment terms vary with each contract but may include an initial payment at the time the contract is executed, with future payments dependent upon the completion of certain contract phases or targeted milestones. In the event of contract cancellation, the Company is entitled to payment for all work performed through the point of cancellation. As of December 31, 2006 the Company had $1,643,566 in deferred revenues relating to contracts for services to be performed over periods ranging from 1 month to 5 years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY

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

The Company recognizes sales, for both financial statement and tax purposes in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101)”. SAB 101 requires that revenues be recognized ratably over the life of a contract. The Company will periodically record deferred revenues relating to advance payments in contracts.

ADVERTISING

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $26,203 and $10,256 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Software development costs are included in research and development and are expensed as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”, (“SFAS 86”), requires the capitalization of certain development costs of software to be sold once technological feasibility is established, which the Company defines as completion to the point of marketability. The capitalized cost is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been immaterial. Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs under SFAS 86. Research and development expense was approximately $742,114 and $478,463 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively.

EMPLOYEE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

The company has an employee equity incentive plan, which is more fully described in “Note 13: Employee Equity Incentive Plans.” On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) is a revision to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123(R) requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS No. 123(R).

SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Stock-based compensation recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes compensation expense for share-based awards granted prior to, but not fully vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS No. 123 as well as compensation expense for share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). The Company currently uses the American Binomial option pricing model to determine grant date fair value.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share”, (“SFAS 128”). SFAS 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. The diluted earnings per share calculation is very similar to the previously utilized fully diluted earnings per share calculation method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

Basic earnings per share were calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 34,936,930 and 26,122,694 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. There were no differences between basic and diluted earnings per share. Options to purchase 8,824,270 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.15 to $2.75 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2006. Stock warrants to purchase 2,531,400 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2006.

The Company granted a Unit Purchase Option (“Agent Option”) to the Placement Agent of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock that provides the Placement Agent the ability to purchase 24,848 Series C Preferred Shares with 496,950 detachable common stock warrants. The exercise of the Agent Option would result in the issuance of an aggregate of 1,490,850 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The warrants and Agent Options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.

The Company’s convertible debt and convertible preferred stock have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”, (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 has as its basic objective the recognition of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities based upon all events that have been recognized in the financial statements as measured by the provisions of the enacted tax laws.

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

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 123(R)-4 “Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event.” FSP FAS 123(R)-4 addresses the classification of options and similar instruments issued as employee compensation that allow for cash settlement upon the occurrence of a contingent event and amends paragraphs 32 and A229 of SFAS 123(R). The Company was required to apply the guidance in FSP FAS123(R)-4 in the quarterly period ending March 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2006 the Company incurred approximately $786,703 in salary expense in connection with our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)-4. The Company expects that the adoption of SFAS 123(R)-4 will continue to have an impact on our results of operations in the future.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” This Statement amends FASB 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS 155 resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying

special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company does not expect SFAS 155 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 (“FAS 156”), “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” Among other requirements, FAS 156 requires a company to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability when it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract under certain situations. Under FAS 156 an election can also be made for subsequent fair value measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities by class, thus simplifying the accounting and provide for income statement recognition of potential offsetting changes in the fair value of servicing assets, servicing liabilities and related derivative instruments. FAS 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 156 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which is a change in accounting for income taxes. FIN 48 specifies how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured, and derecognized in financial statements; requires certain disclosures of uncertain tax matters; specifies how reserves for uncertain tax positions should be classified on the balance sheet; and provides transition and interim period guidance, among other provisions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” Among other requirements, FAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and also expands disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. FAS 157 is effective beginning the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 157 on its financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The guidance is applicable for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not believe SAB 108 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3: OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

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

 

F - 12

OMNICOMM SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

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

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

The ability of the Company to continue in existence is dependent on its having sufficient financial resources to bring products and services to market for marketplace acceptance. As a result of its significant losses, negative cash flows from operations, and accumulated deficits for the year ending December 31, 2006 there is doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 6: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (which for the Company equals its net loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and dilutive EPS adds the dilutive effect of stock options and other common stock equivalents. Antidilutive shares aggregating 31,222,670 and 46,734,169 have been omitted from the calculation of dilutive EPS for the years December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

NOTE 13: EMPLOYEE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

Stock Option Plan

Description of Stock Option Plan

In 1998, the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders approved the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan of OmniComm Systems, Inc. (the “1998 Plan”). The 1998 Plan provides for granting Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Phantom Stock Unit Awards and Performance Share Units. Pursuant to the 1998 Plan, the Company may grant options to purchase up to 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The term of each option may not exceed ten years from the date of grant, and options vest in accordance with a vesting schedule established by the Plan administrator. As of December 31, 2006, substantially all of the Company’s employees were participating in the 1998 Plan.

The maximum term for any option grant under the 1998 Plan is ten years from the date of the grant, however, options granted under the 1998 Plan will generally expire ten years from the date of grant for most employees and seven years from the date of grant for officers and directors of the company. Options granted to employees generally vest either upon grant or in three installments with the first installment vesting 33% upon completion of one full year from date of grant and on an annual basis over the following two years of their employment. The vesting period typically begins on the date of hire for new employees and on the date of grant for existing employees.

In March 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of restricted stock to each of the Company’s executive officers and two Directors, in the aggregate totaling 100,000 shares. The restricted stock vested immediately at the date of grant and the Company recorded $40,000 in compensation expense in connection with the issuance.

At December 31, 2006, there were 3,675,730 shares available for grant as options or other forms of share-based compensation under the 1998 Plan.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the 1998 Plan:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price at fiscal year end and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2006. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised, the difference between the closing stock price on the date of exercise and the exercise price, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $403,948 and $0, respectively.

The weighted average fair value (per share) of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005 using the American Binomial option-pricing model was $0.42 and $0.28, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $826,703 related to stock option and other share-based awards made from its equity compensation plan, including $40,000 of stock-based compensation related to restricted stock grants. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for those plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB No. 25. Accordingly, the Company generally recognized compensation expense only when it granted options with an exercise price below the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock.

Prior to the adoption of SF0AS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation: An Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25” (issued in March 2000), to account for its fixed plan stock options. Under this method, compensation expense was recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (an amendment

to SFAS No. 123), established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As permitted by the accounting standards, the Company had elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and had adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148. The Company amortized deferred compensation on a graded vesting methodology in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Award Plans.”

The Company applied APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option grants to employees. Accordingly, except as mentioned below for 2005 and 2004, no compensation expense had been recognized relating to these stock option grants in the consolidated financial statements. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income attributable to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2005 would have decreased to the pro forma amount presented below. The Company did not have any employee stock options outstanding prior to January 1, 1998.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company provided pro forma disclosure amounts in accordance with SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS No. 148”), as if the fair value method defined by SFAS No. 123 had been applied to its stock-based compensation. The pro forma table below reflects net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2005, had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, as follows:

As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the impact to the Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $786,703 greater than if the Company had continued to account for its stock options under APB No. 25.

Basis for Fair Value Estimate of Share-Based Payments

Based on analysis of its historical volatility, the Company expects that the future volatility of its share price is likely to be similar to the historical volatility the Company experienced since the Company’s commercialization activities were initiated during the second half of 2000. The Company used a volatility calculation utilizing the Company’s own historical volatility to estimate its future volatility for purposes of valuing the share-based payments granted during fiscal 2005 and 2006. Actual volatility, and future changes in estimated volatility, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates.

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

The following table summarizes weighted average grant date fair value activity for the 1998 Plan:

   $ 0.23

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 2,397,505 and 1,701,833 stock options vested, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the vested options was $806,302 and $408,994, respectively.

The fair value of share-based payments was estimated using the American Binomial option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted average fair values for grants made during the periods indicated.

As of December 31, 2006, approximately $1,249,402 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.28 years.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) for income tax purposes of approximately $24,439,000. This loss is allowed to be offset against future income until the year 2026 when the NOL’s will expire. Other timing differences relate to depreciation and amortization for the stock acquisition of Education Navigator in 1998. The tax benefits relating to all timing differences have been fully reserved for in the valuation allowance account due to the lack of operating history and the substantial losses incurred through December 31, 2006.

 

NOTE 15: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

From February 2007 through March 2007, we sold an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to accredited investors resulting in gross proceeds of $2,500,000. This private placement was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with this transaction, and the certificates evidencing the shares that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability absent registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom. Each purchaser represented that he/she was an accredited investor and was acquiring the shares for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards distribution or resale except in compliance with applicable securities laws. The investors had full access to, or were otherwise provided with, all relevant information reasonably necessary to evaluate us. None of these investors were our affiliates.

Also on March 12, 2007, certain holders of Promissory Notes (“Notes Payable” or the “Notes”) of the Company, issued at various times from August 2003 to January 2007, converted the principal amount of the Notes and accrued but unpaid interest in the aggregate amount of $928,784 into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.50 per share resulting in the issuance of 1,857,568 shares of common stock equaling 3.8% of the issued and outstanding

common stock of the Company. The Company did not receive any proceeds as part of this conversion. The issuance of the shares upon conversion of the Notes was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with this transaction, and the certificates evidencing the shares that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability absent registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom. Each purchaser represented that he/she was an accredited investor and was acquiring the shares for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards distribution or resale except in compliance with applicable securities laws. The holders of the Notes had full access to, or were otherwise provided with, all relevant information reasonably necessary to evaluate us. Noesis Capital Corp., an NASD member firm, acted as placement agent in both the offering and conversions and as compensation therefore received a commission equal to $65,015 and a warrant to purchase at $0.50 per share, 10% of the shares sold, or 185,757 shares of our common stock.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1:    ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

OmniComm Systems, Inc. is a healthcare technology company that provides Web-based electronic data capture (“EDC”) solutions and related value-added services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, clinical research organizations (“CRO”), and other clinical trial sponsors. TrialMaster®, the Company’s EDC software application, allows clinical trial sponsors and investigative sites to securely collect, validate, transmit, and analyze clinical trial data.

Our ability to compete within the EDC industry is predicated on our ability to continue enhancing and broadening the scope of solutions offered through TrialMaster. Our research and development (“R & D”) efforts are focused on developing new, complementary software solutions, as well as enhancing our existing software solutions through the addition of increased functionality. During the first three months of fiscal 2007, we spent approximately $195,000 on R & D activities, the majority of which represented salaries to our developers. During the first three months of fiscal 2006 we spent approximately $108,000 on R & D activities, which include costs associated with customization of the TrialMaster software for our client’s projects.

NOTE 2:    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The Company’s accounts include those of all of its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with (i) accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and (ii) the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

The operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2007. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.

ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2006 financial statements to conform to the 2007 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on net income (loss) or shareholders’ equity.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in one reportable segment.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

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

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are judged as to collectibility by management and an allowance for bad debts is established as necessary. The Company had recorded an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable of $58,539 and $58,539 as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Accounts receivable subject the Company to its highest potential concentration of credit risk. The Company reserves for credit losses. The Company does not require collateral on trade accounts receivables. Our top five customers accounted for approximately 60% of our revenues during the first three months of 2007 and approximately 48% of our revenues during the first three months of fiscal 2006. Three customers accounted individually for 10% or more of our revenues during the first three months of fiscal 2007.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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

DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred revenue represents cash advances received in excess of revenue earned on on-going contracts. Payment terms vary with each contract but may include an initial payment at the time the contract is executed, with future payments dependent upon the completion of certain contract phases or targeted milestones. In the event of contract cancellation, the Company is entitled to payment for all work performed through the point of cancellation. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had $1,701,987 in deferred revenues relating to contracts for services to be performed over periods ranging from 1 month to 5 years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY

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

The Company recognizes sales, for both financial statement and tax purposes in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101)”. SAB 101 requires that revenues be recognized ratably over the life of a contract. The Company will periodically record deferred revenues relating to advance payments in contracts.

ADVERTISING

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $34,659 and $6,605 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Software development costs are included in R & D and are expensed as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”, (“SFAS 86”), requires the capitalization of certain development costs of software to be sold once technological feasibility is established, which the Company defines as completion to the point of marketability. The capitalized cost is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been immaterial. Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs under SFAS 86. R & D expense was approximately $195,000 and $108,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 respectively.

EMPLOYEE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

The company has an employee equity incentive plan, which is more fully described below. Until December 31, 2005, the company accounted for its equity incentive plan under the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Effective with the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company began accounting for employee stock options using the fair-value method. The exercise price of options granted is equal to the market price of OmniComm Systems common stock (defined as the closing bid price reported on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin-Board) on the date of grant. The value of the granted options is estimated using a Binomial option pricing model. Because the estimated value is determined as of the date of grant, the actual value ultimately realized by the employee may be significantly different.

OMNICOMM SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

SFAS No. 123R requires the use of option pricing models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Binomial option pricing models were developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-lived exchange-traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options. In addition, option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of employee stock options.

The estimated value of employee stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $94,490 ($9,870 for the three months ended March 31, 2006). The value of options granted in 2007 and 2006 was estimated at the date of grant using the following assumptions:

 

    2007    2006

Risk-free interest rate

  4.98%    4.51%

Expected years until exercise

  6 Years    6 Years

Expected stock volatility

  94.4%    100.9%

Dividend yield

  0%    0%

An analysis of historical information is used to determine the company’s assumptions, to the extent historical information is relevant based on the terms of the grants being issued in any given period.

Description of Stock Option Plan

In 1998, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan of OmniComm Systems, (the “1998 Plan”). The 1998 Plan provides for granting Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Phantom Stock Unit Awards and Performance Share Units. Pursuant to the 1998 Plan, the Company may grant options to purchase up to 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The term of each option may not exceed ten years from the date of grant, and options vest in accordance with a vesting schedule established by the Plan administrator. As of March 31, 2007, substantially all of the company’s employees were participating in the 1998 Plan and approximately 8,989,000 options were outstanding. Options granted under the 1998 Plan will generally expire seven years from the date of grant for most employees and seven years from the date of grant for officers and directors of the company.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share”, (“SFAS 128”). SFAS 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. The diluted earnings per share calculation is very similar to the previously utilized fully diluted earnings per share calculation method.

Basic earnings per share were calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 50,995,631 and 28,504,522 for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively. There were no differences between basic and diluted earnings per share. Options to purchase 8,989,270 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.15 to $2.75 per share were outstanding at March 31, 2007. Stock warrants to purchase 1,406,756 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.25 to $0.50 per share were outstanding at March 31, 2007.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

The Company granted a Unit Purchase Option (“Agent Option”) to the Placement Agent of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock that provides the Placement Agent the ability to purchase 24,848 Series C Preferred Shares with 496,950 detachable common stock warrants. The exercise of the Agent Option would result in the issuance of an aggregate of 1,490,850 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The warrants and Agent Options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.

The Company’s convertible debt and convertible preferred stock have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”, (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 has as its basic objective the recognition of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities based upon all events that have been recognized in the financial statements as measured by the provisions of the enacted tax laws.

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

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Subsequently, in February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. We expect to adopt both SFAS 157 and SFAS 159 as of January 1, 2008. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of these statements.

NOTE 3:    OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

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

OMNICOMM SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

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

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

The ability of the Company to continue in existence is dependent on its having sufficient financial resources to bring products and services to market for marketplace acceptance. As a result of its significant losses, negative cash flows from operations, and accumulated deficits for the period ending March 31, 2007 there is doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4:    NOTES PAYABLE

At March 31, 2007, the Company owed $296,800 in notes payable. The table below provides details as to the terms and conditions of the notes payable.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders rights (through shareholders’ derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Our by-laws also provide that the Board of Directors may also authorize the company to indemnify our employees or agents, and to advance the reasonable expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to our directors and officers. As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Board of Directors has not extended indemnification rights to persons other than directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.

ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

From January 2004 through October 2004, we sold an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to accredited investors resulting in gross proceeds of $750,000. This private placement was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) and Regulation S. Each of these transactions was an “offshore” transaction to a non-U.S. person. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with this transaction, and the certificates evidencing the shares that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability absent registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom. Each purchaser represented that he/she was an accredited investor and was acquiring the shares for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards distribution or resale except in

compliance with applicable securities laws. The investors had full access to, or were otherwise provided with, all relevant information reasonably necessary to evaluate us. None of these investors, other than Cornelis F. Wit our CEO, President and a Director and Guus van Kesteren, a Director, were our affiliates. Noesis Capital Corp., an NASD member firm, acted as placement agent in the offering and as compensation therefore received a commission equal to 8% of the sales made by it, or an aggregate of $54,000, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of the sales made by it, or an aggregate of $13,500 and a warrant to purchase at $0.25 per share, approximately 10% of the shares sold, or 270,000 shares of our common stock.

In February 2005, OmniComm converted 32,500 shares of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock into 1,300,000 shares of common stock. The shares were originally issued in 2001 as part of a private placement to accredited investors. The Series B Preferred Stock has a Stated Value of $10.00 per share and converts into common stock on a basis of 40 common shares for every share of converted preferred stock.

In May 2005, OmniComm converted $130,000 in outstanding 10% Convertible Notes and $21,986 in accrued interest into 609,943 shares of common stock at a rate of $0.25 per share. The notes were originally issued in 1998 to accredited investors and carried a conversion price of $1.25 per share.

In December 2005, OmniComm converted $165,000 in outstanding promissory notes and $3,000 in accrued interest, owed to Cornelis F. Wit, a Director and our President and CEO, into 600,000 shares of common stock at a rate of $0.28.

Noesis Capital Corp., an NASD member firm, acted as placement agent in the offering and as compensation therefore received a commission equal to 8% of the sales made by it, or an aggregate of $16,000, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of the sales made by it, or an aggregate of $4,000 and a warrant to purchase at $0.25 per share, approximately 10% of the shares sold, or 20,000 shares of our common stock.

In October 2006, our Board of Directors approved the granting of an aggregate of 1,324,270 incentive stock options to certain employees of our company vesting in equal amounts over a three-year term at exercise prices ranging from $0.50 to $0.58 per share. The employees were each provided disclosure of and access to business and financial information about our company. The recipients were non-accredited investors who had such knowledge and experience in business, investment and financial matters that they were able to evaluate the risks and merits of an investment in our company. Accordingly, the employees were “sophisticated” within the meaning of federal securities laws. Each certificate evidencing securities issued in the transaction included a legend stating that the securities were not registered under the Securities Act and may not be resold absent registration or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with the transaction. The transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(2) thereunder and/or the rules and regulations thereunder including Rule 506 of Regulation D.

On November 1, 2006, we issued an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock to five individuals in consideration of employment services and services rendered to us by a member of our Board of Directors. The employment and Director’s services were for legal, business development services and strategic services. Each of the employees or the Director (a) had a preexisting relationship with us, (b) had access to business and financial information concerning us, (c) was afforded the opportunity to ask questions of our management concerning our operations and the terms of the offering, and (d) had such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that it was able to evaluate the risks and merits of an investment. Therefore, each investor was “sophisticated” within the meaning of Federal securities laws. In addition, the certificates evidencing the shares that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability absent registration under the Act or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom. The issuance of these securities was exempt from the registration requirements of the Act by reason of Section 4(2) and/or the rules and regulations thereunder including Rule 506 of Regulation D.

On December 31, 2006, we issued 50,000 shares of our common stock to one accredited investor pursuant to the conversion of a 10% Convertible Note originally issued in May 1999. The investor was provided access to business and financial information about our company and had such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that they were able to evaluate the risks and merits of an investment in our common stock. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with the transaction and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for such exchange. The transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(2) and/or the rules and regulations thereunder including, Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act.

On December 31, 2006, certain holders of Promissory Notes (“Notes Payable” or the “Notes”) of the Company, including Cornelis F. Wit, President, CEO and a Director and Guus van Kesteren, a Director,

issued at various times from March 2005 to December 2005, converted the principal amount of the Notes and accrued but unpaid interest in the aggregate amount of $3,204,698 into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.50 per share resulting in the issuance of 6,409,396 shares of common stock. The Company did not receive any proceeds as part of this conversion. The issuance of the shares upon conversion of the Notes was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with this transaction, and the certificates evidencing the shares that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability absent registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom. Each purchaser represented that he/she was an accredited investor and was acquiring the shares for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards distribution or resale except in compliance with applicable securities laws. The holders of the Notes had full access to, or were otherwise provided with, all relevant information reasonably necessary to evaluate us.

From February 2007 through March 2007, we sold an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to accredited investors resulting in gross proceeds of $2,500,000. This private placement was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with this transaction, and the certificates evidencing the shares that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability absent registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom. Each purchaser represented that he/she was an accredited investor and was acquiring the shares for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards distribution or resale except in compliance with applicable securities laws. The investors had full access to, or were otherwise provided with, all relevant information reasonably necessary to evaluate us. None of these investors were our affiliates.

On March 12, 2007, certain holders of Promissory Notes (“Notes Payable” or the “Notes”) of the Company, issued at various times from August 2003 to January 2007, converted the principal amount of the Notes and accrued but unpaid interest in the aggregate amount of $928,784 into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.50 per share resulting in the issuance of 1,857,568 shares of common stock. The Company did not receive any proceeds as part of this conversion. The issuance of the shares upon conversion of the Notes was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with this transaction, and the certificates evidencing the shares that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability absent registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom. Each purchaser represented that he/she was an accredited investor and was acquiring the shares for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards distribution or resale except in compliance with applicable securities laws. The holders of the Notes had full access to, or were otherwise provided with, all relevant information reasonably necessary to evaluate us. Noesis Capital Corp., an NASD member firm, acted as placement agent in both the offering and conversions and as compensation therefore received a commission equal to $65,015 and a warrant to purchase at $0.50 per share, 10% of the shares sold, or 185,757 shares of our common stock.

We established the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan effective July 31, 1998, which provides for the issuance of qualified options to officers, directors and key employees, and nonqualified options to consultants, advisors and other service providers. Through May 8, 2007, we have issued and outstanding options to purchase approximately 8,824,270 shares of common stock under the Plan with exercise prices ranging from $.15 to $2.75 and various expiration dates. The options were issued to approximately 50 officers, directors, key employees, consultants, advisors and other service providers. The security issuances were exempt from registration by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and or Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. The option holders had access to information about us and had the opportunity to ask questions about us. The options issued contain a legend restricting their transferability absent registration or an available exemption.

In each of these issuances described above, the recipient represented that he was acquiring the shares for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards distribution or resale except in compliance with applicable securities laws. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with any transaction, and the certificate evidencing the securities that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned small business issuer will:

(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospects filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;

 

II-9


Table of Contents

iii. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and

iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.

(5) For determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or preceding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
