NOTE 1:

ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

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

 

Our ability to compete within the EDC industry is predicated on our ability to continue enhancing and broadening the scope of solutions offered through our EDC Software and services. Our research and product development efforts are focused on developing new and complementary software solutions, as well as enhancing our existing software solutions through the addition of increased functionality. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 we spent approximately $664,605 and $675,041, respectively, on research and product development activities, which are primarily comprised of salaries to our developers and other research and product development personnel and related costs associated with the development of our software products.

 

NOTE 2:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The Company’s accounts include those of all its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are more fully described in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and have been prepared in conformity with (i) accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and (ii) the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

 

The operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year-ended December 31, 2016. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2015.

 

ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2015 financial statements to conform to the 2016 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on our net income/(loss) or shareholders’ deficit.

 

foreign currency translation

 

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements . The reporting currency for the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries, OmniComm Europe GmbH in Germany, OmniComm Spain S.L. in Spain and OmniComm Promasys B.V. in the Netherlands is the Euro. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary, OmniComm Ltd. in the United Kingdom, is the British Pound Sterling. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated using an average rate of exchange during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are primarily related to intercompany accounts that have been determined to be temporary in nature and accordingly, are recorded directly to the statement of operations. We record translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. We recorded translation losses of $3,156 and $105,457 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 respectively.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY  

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Hosted Application Revenues

 

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

 

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

(unaudited)

 

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

 

Licensing Revenues

 

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

 

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

 

Professional Services

 

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

 

Pass-through Revenue and Expense

 

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

 

Maintenance Revenues

 

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

COST OF REVENUES

 

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

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

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

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

Accounts receivable are judged as to collectability by management and an allowance for bad debts is established as necessary. The allowance is based on an evaluation of the collectability of accounts receivable and prior bad debt experience. The Company had recorded an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable of $92,138 as of March 31, 2016 and $116,834 as of December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

The following table summarizes activity in the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are deposited with major financial institutions and, at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC-insured limits. As of March 31, 2016, $721,382 was deposited in excess of FDIC-insured limits. Management believes the risk in these situations to be minimal.

 

Except as follows, the Company has no significant off-balance-sheet risk or credit risk concentrations. Financial instruments that subject the Company to potential credit risks are principally cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Concentrated credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to creditworthy customers. The Company's customers are principally located in the United States and Europe as well as in East Asia. The Company is directly affected by the overall financial condition of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries and management believes that credit risk exists and that any credit risk the Company faces has been adequately reserved for as of March 31, 2016. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on accounts past due according to contractual terms and historical collection experience. Actual losses , when incurred , are charged to the allowance. The Company's losses related to collection of accounts receivable have consistently been within management's expectations. As of March 31, 2016, the Company believes no additional credit risk exists beyond the amounts provided for in our allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company evaluates its allowance for uncollectable accounts on a quarterly basis based on a specific review of receivable aging and the period that any receivables are beyond the standard payment terms. The Company does not require collateral from its customers in order to mitigate credit risk.

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

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

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

 

ASSET IMPAIRMENT

 

Acquisitions and Intangible Assets  

 

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

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2016 AND MARCH 31, 2015

(unaudited)

 

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

 

Long-lived Assets  

 

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

 

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

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

 

DEFERRED REVENUE

 

Deferred revenue represents cash advances and amounts in accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date received in excess of revenue earned on on-going contracts. Payment terms vary with each contract but may include an initial payment at the time the contract is executed, with future payments dependent upon the completion of certain contract phases or targeted milestones. In the event of contract cancellation, the Company is generally entitled to payment for all work performed through the point of cancellation. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $8,584,102 in deferred revenues relating to contracts for services to be performed over periods ranging from one month to 5 years. The Company had $6,554,230 in deferred revenues that are expected to be recognized in the next twelve fiscal months.

 

ADVERTISING

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $210,954 and $182,389 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively and are included under selling, general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

 

Software development costs are expensed as incurred. ASC 985-20, Software Industry Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased or Marketed (“ASC 985-20”), requires the capitalization of certain development costs of software to be sold once technological feasibility is established, which the Company defines as completion to the point of marketability. The capitalized cost is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been immaterial. Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs under ASC 985-20. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 we spent approximately $664,605 and $675,041 respectively, on research and product development activities, which include costs associated with the development of our software products and services for our clients’ projects and which are primarily comprised of salaries and related expenses for our software developers and consulting fees paid to third-party consultants. Research and product development costs are primarily included under Salaries, benefits and related taxes in our Statement of Operations.

EMPLOYEE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

 

The OmniComm Systems, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) was approved at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders on July 10, 2009. The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 7,500,000 shares to employees, directors and key consultants. The predecessor plan, the OmniComm Systems, Inc., 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1998 Plan”) expired on December 31, 2008. The 1998 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 12 ,5 00,000 shares in accordance with the terms of the 1998 Plan document. The 2009 Plan is more fully described in “Note 13, Employee Equity Incentive Plans”. The Company accounts for its employee equity incentive plans under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation , (“ASC 718”) which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.

 

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

 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

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

 

INCOME TAXES

 

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

 

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

 

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

During the first three months of 2016, we adopted the following new accounting pronouncements:

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting standard update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” , (“ASU 2016-02”). This ASU requires that an entity should recognize assets and liabilities for leases with a maximum possible term of more than 12 months. A lessee would recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset (the underlying asset) for the lease term. This guidance also provides accounting updates with respect to lessor accounting under a lease arrangement. This new lease guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach (cumulative effect adjustment in period of adoption) to adopt the new guidance. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance in our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 , “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, (“ASU 2016-09”). This guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the full impact of the new standard.

NOTE 3:

EARNINGS/ (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings/(loss) per share were calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 141,080,292 and 91,643,746 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

 

The outstanding share balance as of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively, includes 1,703,343 and 2,506,681 restricted shares that have been issued but are still at risk of forfeiture as the restrictions have not lapsed.

 

Antidilutive shares of 42,892,652 and 83,357,382 have been omitted from the calculation of dilutive earnings/(loss) per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively, as the shares were antidilutive. Provided below is the reconciliation between numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per shares. The table below provides a reconciliation of anti-dilutive securities outstanding as of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 7 :

LINE OF CREDIT, NOTES PAYABLE AND LIQUIDITY

 

On March 18, 2013, the Company entered into a $2,000,000 revolving Line of Credit (“Line of Credit”) with The Northern Trust Company guaranteed by our Chief Executive Officer and Director , Cornelis F. Wit. Mr. Wit receives 2.0% interest (approximately $9,500 per month) from the Company on the assets pledged for the Line of Credit. On December 18, 2013 the Company renewed the Line of Credit and increased the available balance to $4,000,000. On February 3, 2015 the Company renewed the Line of Credit and increased the available balance to $5,000,000. The Line of Credit matures on February 2, 2018 and carries a variable interest rate based on the prime rate. At March 31, 2016, $4,200,000 was outstanding on the Line of Credit at an interest rate of 2.5%.

 

Our primary sources of working capital are funds from operations and borrowings under our revolving Line of Credit. In the event that the Line of Credit is called for any reason, Mr. Wit has pledged to replace the borrowing capacity under the Line of Credit with a promissory note that utilizes the same maturity date and interest rate as the Line of Credit.  

 

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

 

At March 31, 2016, the Company owed $1,262,500 in notes payable all of which are unsecured. The table below provides details as to the terms and conditions of the notes payable.

On February 29, 2016, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $450,000 and warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share with an expiration date of April 1, 2019 to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Cornelis F. Wit (“Mr. Wit”), in exchange for accrued interest in the amount of $450,000. The note carries an interest rate of 12% per annum and has a maturity date of April 1, 2019.

 

This issuance caused us to calculate and record a derivative liability for the warrant liability. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model. A value of $325,689 was calculated and allocated to the warrants and recorded as a liability to the issuance of the note payable. As a result of the liability we recorded a discount to the note payable. The carrying amount of the note at the time of issuance was therefore $124,311. The warrant liability (discount) will be amortized over the 37 month duration of the note payable. The Company will continue to perform a fair value calculation quarterly on the warrant liability and accordingly the warrant liability is increased or decreased based on the fair value calculation. The resulting increase or decrease is reflected in operations as an unrealized gain or loss on changes in derivative liabilities.

NOTE 9 :

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

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

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

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

 

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

 

 

A.

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

 

 

B.

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

 

 

C.

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

 

The Company also adopted the provisions of ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”). ASC 825 allows companies to choose to measure eligible assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in value recognized in earnings. Fair value treatment may be elected either upon initial recognition of an eligible asset or liability or, for an existing asset or liability, if an event triggers a new basis of accounting. The Company did not elect to re-measure any of its existing financial assets or liabilities under the provisions of this Statement. The Company elected the fair value option for the issuance of warrants associated with the new promissory notes issued in the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015.

 

The Company’s financial assets or liabilities subject to ASC 820 as of March 31, 2016 include the conversion feature and warrant liability associated with convertible debentures issued during 2008 and 2009 and the warrants issued during 2011 and 2016 that are associated with notes payable that were issued to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Cornelis F. Wit. The conversion feature and warrants were deemed to be derivatives (the “Derivative Instruments”) since a fixed conversion price cannot be determined for either of the Derivative Instruments due to anti-dilution provisions embedded in the offering documents for the convertible debentures. The derivative instruments were not issued for risk management purposes and as such are not designated as hedging instruments under the provisions of ASC 815 , Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . See Note 8 – Convertible Notes Payable.

 

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to determine the fair value of the Company’s financial assets including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

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

   
 

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

 

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

PATENT LITIGATION SETTLEMENT

 

Effective April 9, 2009, we entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with DataSci, LLC (“DataSci”) . DataSci granted us a worldwide, non-exclusive non-transferable right and license under the Licensed Patent and the right to sublicense TrialMaster on a Technology Transfer and Technology Transition basis. Under the terms of the license, we are obligated to pay royalties quarterly for sales of Licensed Products, as defined therein, from January 1, 2009 until the expiration of the Licensed Patent equal to two percent (2%) of OmniComm’s annual Gross Revenues or, alternatively, the annual minimum royalty payment(s), whichever is greater.  In addition to the payment of royalties, the Settlement and Licensing Agreement imposes certain obligations on us including commercialization, certain sublicensing, other payments, insurance, and confidentiality. In addition and as a license fee for past use of the Licensed Patent which may have occurred prior to the effective date of the Settlement and Licensing Agreement, we issued a warrant to DataSci to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The Settlement and Licensing Agreement provides that upon the expiration date of the warrant, at DataSci’s sole discretion, DataSci shall exercise its option under the warrant or licensee shall pay DataSci $300,000. The warrant is exercisable commencing on the second anniversary of the Settlement and Licensing Agreement, April 2, 2011, through the expiration date of the warrant, deemed to be on the termination date of the Settlement and Licensing Agreement on May 12, 2018.

 

On June 23, 2009, we entered into an agreement to acquire the EDC assets of eResearch Technology. Concurrent with the consummation of that transaction we entered into the First Amendment to Settlement and Licensing Agreement with DataSci, (i) to include the eResearch Technology EDC assets acquired within the definition of Licensed Products, and as such subject to the royalty payment(s), under and in accordance with the Settlement and Licensing Agreement, and (ii) provide a release by DataSci of any and all claims of infringement of the Licensed Patent in connection with the eResearch Technology EDC assets acquired which may have occurred prior to the effective date of the First Amendment to Settlement and Licensing Agreement for an aggregate amount of $300,000.

 

The remaining minimum royalty payments per year are as follows:

 

2016

  $ 337,500  

2017

    450,000  

2018

    164,500  

Total

  $ 952,000  

 

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 the Company recorded a charge to earnings of $27,437 and $33,595 respectively, which amounts represent (i) the amount of additional license expense incurred above the stipulated minimum in the DataSci License Agreement during the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 and (ii) the accretion of the difference between the total stipulated annual minimum royalty payments and the recorded present value accrual of the annual minimum royalty payments.

The 2009 Plan provides for granting Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Phantom Stock Unit Awards and Performance Share Units.

(unaudited)

 

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

 

As of March 31, 2016, there were 2,002,500 outstanding options and 3 ,533,330 restricted stock shares that have been granted under the 2009 Plan. At March 31, 2016, there were 1,156,670 shares available for grant as options or other forms of share-based compensation under the 2009 Plan.

The weighted average fair value (per share) of options granted during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 was $0.0 as no options were granted during the period and $0.29 during the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The Black Scholes option-pricing model was utilized to calculate these values.

 

Basis for Fair Value Estimate of Share-Based Payments

 

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

 

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

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

 

General 

 

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

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

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

 

Overview

 

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

 

In 2016, the primary focus of our strategy includes:

 

 

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

 

Stimulating demand by providing clinical trial sponsors with high value eClinical applications and services;

 

Expanding our penetration of the large pharmaceutical sponsor market;

 

Broadening our suite of services and software applications on an organic research and product development basis and on a selective basis via the acquisition or licensing of complementary solutions;

 

Expanding our business development efforts in Europe and East Asia to capitalize on our operational and clinical capabilities vis-à-vis our competition in that geographic market;

 

Providing our services to small and midsize pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device companies and CROs

 

Our operating focus is first, to increase our sales and marketing capabilities and penetration rate and secondly, to continue developing and improving our software solutions and services to ensure our services and products remain an attractive, high-value EDC choice.  Our ability to compete within the EDC and eClinical industries is predicated on our ability to continue enhancing and broadening the scope of solutions we offer. Our research and product development efforts are focused on developing new, complementary software solutions, as well as enhancing our existing software solutions through the addition of increased functionality. We spent approximately $664,605 and $675,041 on research and product development activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.  The majority of these expenses represent salaries and related benefits to our developers which include the costs associated with the continued development of our EDC Software applications to meet current customer requirements and with our efforts at enhancing our suite of products by incorporating new features and services we believe will improve the products and consequently improve our market position. Our research and product development team is comprised of software programmers, engineers and related support personnel. 

 

Our clients are able to partially or completely license our EDC solutions. The licensing business model provides our clients with a more cost effective means of deploying our EDC solutions on a large-scale basis. Our licensed products, falling under the auspices of either a Tech Transition (partial transfer with some services performed by OmniComm) or Tech Transfer, allows us to broaden our potential client base, provides us with a high-margin revenue source and affords us the ability to improve our competitive position within the EDC industry.  

 

 
36

 

 

We feel that the momentum established from new client acquisitions in 2015 and year to date 2016 and our ability to retain clients for repeat engagements provide a good operating base from which to build during the remainder of 2016 .  We increased the marketing and business development budget for our TrialOne product during 2015 and the first three months of 2016 as we place increased emphasis on increasing our penetration of the Phase I market in the U.S. and Europe as well as in East Asia. We believe that segment of the EDC market is the least penetrated and allows for the greatest potential increases in market share and in sales volumes.  We expect to continue increasing the level of resources deployed in our sales and marketing efforts through the addition of sales personnel and by increasing the number of industry tradeshows and conferences that we attend. We feel that a combination of our existing infrastructure, broadened array of eClinical products and services and increased success in new client acquisition, coupled with our ability to retain our existing clients will allow us to compete effectively within the EDC market.

We recorded $408,446 in revenues associated with clients using the eClinical Suite during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with revenue of $465,169 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 .  eClinical Suite revenues are primarily comprised of license subscriptions and revenues associated with our hosting and maintenance services.  

 

We recorded $56,275 in revenues from hosting activities and $290,022 in maintenance associated with the eClinical Suite during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with revenue of $69,650 from hosting activities and $303,604 from maintenance for the three months ended March 31, 2015 .  Generally, these revenues are paid quarterly and are connected to hosting and client support for clients licensing the eClinical Suite.

 

We recorded revenue of $612,997 including $308,228 from software licensing and $209,556 from professional services associated with clients utilizing our TrialOne EDC software for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with revenue of $1,030,473 including $302,554 from software licensing and $615,665 from professional services for the three months ended March 31, 2015 .   We are enhancing our efforts at developing our sales and marketing campaign for the TrialOne application.  We expect to increase our participation in industry trade shows and conferences. TrialOne revenues are comprised of license subscriptions and maintenance services since the software is currently only sold on a technology transfer basis.

 

We recorded revenue of $202,150 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 including $72,611 from software licensing and $87,616 from maintenance associated with clients utilizing the Promasys EDC solution as compared to revenue of $209,114 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 including $53,275 from software licensing and $93,545 from maintenance.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Our top five customers accounted for approximately 40% of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and approximately 38% of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015 .  One customer accounted for approximately 20% of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2016 .   One customer accounted for approximately 11% of our revenues the three months ended March 31, 2015. The loss of any of these contracts or these customers in the future could adversely affect our results of operations. 

 

Cost of goods sold decreased approximately 13% or $177,570 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 .  Cost of goods sold were approximately 23% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to approximately 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Cost of goods sold relates primarily to (i) salaries and related benefits associated with the programmers, developers and systems analysts producing clinical trials on behalf of our clients and (ii) the costs associated with pass-through revenues. Cost of goods sold decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily due to a decrease in pass-through expenses. The pass-through revenue and expense primarily relate to specific work being performed for a few clients. At this time we do not expect the volume of the pass-through revenue and expense to grow significantly and therefore we do not expect any significant degradation of our gross margin .

 

Overall, total operating expenses decreased approximately 4% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 .  The decrease in operating expenses is primarily the result of a decrease in travel related expenses.

 

Salaries and related expenses were our biggest operating expense at 72% of total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 70% of total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 .  Salaries and related expenses decreased by 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period ended March 31, 2015 .  The table below provides a summary of the significant components of salary and related expenses by primary cost category.

This standard requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Rent and related expenses increased by approximately 1% during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 .  The table below details the significant portions of our rent expense.  Our primary data site is located at a co-location facility in Cincinnati, Ohio and we will continue utilizing this facility for the foreseeable future since it is designed to ensure 100% production system up-time and to provide system redundancy. We also utilize co-location and disaster recovery space in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida area. This facility provides us with disaster recovery and business continuity services for our operations. In 2015 we added a co-location facility in Frankfurt Germany. We currently lease office space in Bonn, Germany for our European subsidiary, OmniComm Europe, GmbH. That lease expires in July 2016. We currently lease office space for a regional operating office in New Jersey under a lease that expires in March 2021. Our OmniComm Ltd. subsidiary leases office space in Southampton, UK under a lease that expires in September 2017.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased by $23,233 or approximately 7% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase is primarily due to an increase in marketing expenses. SG&A expenses relate primarily to costs incurred in running our offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, Southampton, England , Barcelona, Spain, Bonn, Germany and Leiden, the Netherlands on a day-to-day basis and other costs not directly related to other captioned items in our income statement. SG&A includes the cost of office equipment and supplies, the costs of attending conferences and seminars and other expenses incurred in the normal course of business. In 2015 we spent approximately $635,000 on marketing, sales and advertising. We expect that the 2016 marketing, sales and advertising expenses will be approximately $900,000 as we increase our attendance at tradeshows and our marketing efforts worldwide .

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 we recognized a credit of $148 for bad debt compared to a credit of $20,374 for bad debt for the three months ended March 31, 2015 .  This change was primarily the result of a decrease in aged receivable balances that enabled us to decrease our reserve. During the remainder of 2016 we will continue to carefully and actively manage our potential exposure to bad debt by closely monitoring our accounts receivable and proactively taking the action necessary to limit our exposure.  We have been very successful in managing and collecting our outstanding accounts receivable.  We believe that our current allowance for uncollectible accounts accurately reflects any accounts which may prove uncollectible during the remainder of 2016 .

 

Interest expense was $296,505 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $699,872 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $403,367 .  Interest incurred to related parties was $208,602 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $627,136 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 .  Included in interest expense is the accretion of discounts recorded related to financial instrument derivatives that were deemed a part of the financings we undertook in 2008 and 2009 and relating to warrants issued during 2011 and 2016 .  The table below provides detail on the significant components of interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 .

We evaluate the cost of capital available to us in combination with our overall capital structure and the prevailing market conditions in deciding what financing best fulfills our short and long-term capital needs. Given the overall economic climate and in particular the difficulties nano-cap companies have experienced in obtaining financing, we believe the structure and terms of the transactions we entered into during 2015 and 2016 were obtained at the best terms available to the Company.

 

We record unrealized gains/losses related to changes in our derivative liabilities associated with the issuance of convertible debt that occurred during 2008 and 2009 and warrants associated with promissory notes issued in 2011 and 2016 .  We recorded a net unrealized loss of $762,011 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with a net unrealized loss of $1,517,719 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 .  The unrealized gains/losses can be attributed to fair value calculations undertaken periodically on the warrant and conversion feature liabilities recorded by us at the time the convertible debt and promissory notes were issued.  Accordingly the warrant and conversion feature liabilities are increased or decreased based on the fair value calculations made at each quarterly balance sheet date.  These non-cash gains and losses have materially impacted our results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 and can be reasonably anticipated to materially affect our net loss or net income in future periods. The fair value calculations are heavily reliant on the value of our common stock and on the calculated volatility of the price of our common stock on the OTCQX Marketplace. Accordingly, significant changes in our stock price will create large unrealized gains and losses on our financial statements. We are, however, unable to estimate the amount of such income/expense in future periods as the income/expense is partly based on the market price of our common stock at the end of a future measurement date. In addition, in the future if we issue securities which are classified as derivatives we will incur expense and income items in future periods. Investors are cautioned to consider the impact of this non-cash accounting treatment on our financial statements.

 

The Company recorded arrearages of $1,870 and $50,859 in its 5% Series A Preferred Stock dividends for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016, and March 31, 2015, respectively. The below table contains the cumulative arrearage for each series of preferred stock.

Liq uidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its operating, investing and financing needs for cash.   We have historically experienced negative cash flows and have relied on the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities to fund our operations. In addition, we have utilized stock-based compensation as a means of paying for consulting and salary related expenses. At March 31, 2016, we had working capital deficit of approximately $8,548,355.

Capital Expenditures

 

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

 

Presently, we have approximately $15 0,000 planned for capital expenditures to further develop our infrastructure to allow for growth in our operations during the remainder of 2016 .  We expect to fund these capital expenditure needs through a combination of vendor-provided financing, the use of operating or capital equipment leases and cash provided from operations.

Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Because of the losses we have experienced from operations we have needed to continue utilizing the proceeds from the issuance of debt and the sale of equity securities to fund our working capital needs. We have used a combination of equity financing, short-term bridge loans and long-term loans to fund our working capital needs. Other than our revenues, current capital and capital we may raise from future debt or equity offerings , the $5,000,000 revolving line of credit with The Northern Trust Company ($4,200,000 of which is outstanding as of March 31, 2016)  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 research and product 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 product 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; the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing intellectual property rights; and other changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions in our planned business.  Estimates about the adequacy of funding for our activities are based upon certain assumptions, including assumptions that our research and product development 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 research and product development plans or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

 
46

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

ASSET IMPAIRMENT

 

Asset Acquisitions and Intangible Assets

 

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

 

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

 

Long Lived Assets

 

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

 

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

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

 

DEFERRED REVENUE

 

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

 

 
47

 

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY

 

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

 

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

 

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION.

 

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

 

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

 

EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

During the first three months of 2016, we adopted the following new accounting pronouncements:

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting standard update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, (“ASU 2016-02”). This ASU requires that an entity should recognize assets and liabilities for leases with a maximum possible term of more than 12 months. A lessee would recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset (the underlying asset) for the lease term. This guidance also provides accounting updates with respect to lessor accounting under a lease arrangement. This new lease guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach (cumulative effect adjustment in period of adoption) to adopt the new guidance. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance in our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, (“ASU 2016-09”). This guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the full impact of the new standard.

 

Accounting standards-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We regularly review all new pronouncements that have been issued since the filing of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the first quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

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

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results .

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$______________[Amount]

Broward County, Florida

______________ [Date]

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, (hereinafter referred to as the ("Maker") promises to pay to the order of____________, his successors or assigns, (hereinafter referred to as "Payee"), the principal sum of ________________________________ ($______________), together with interest on the principal balance from time to time outstanding, at the rate of _______ percent (__.00%) per annum; principal and interest shall be payable as follows: interest shall be payable monthly and the balance of the principal sum, together with any accrued and unpaid accrued interest, shall be paid no later than ________, 20__.

 

[This Promissory Note is intended to replace and substitute in its entirety the Notes issued to the Payee in the following amounts received on the following dates:_______________]

 

In the event that the Maker defaults in the payment of any payment of the principal sum or interest owing hereunder when and as the same shall become due and payable and such default shall continue for a period of 15 days, then the Payee may declare this Promissory Note to be in default. The Payee must provide written notice to the Maker that the Payee is declaring the Note to be in default. The Maker shall have a cure period of 15 days to resolve the default. If at the end of the cure period the default has not been resolved, then the entire principal sum and all accrued interest shall become due and payable at once without any additional notice and demand at the option of the Payee. While in default, amounts outstanding under this Promissory Note shall bear interest at the rate of ________ percent (___%) per annum.

 

This Promissory Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium. All payments made shall first be applied to accrued and unpaid interest and then to principal. Any prepayment shall require payment of all accrued interest thereon.

 

In the event of an action to enforce this Promissory Note is commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction or in the event recourse to any court shall be deemed necessary by Payee or Payee deems it necessary to employ legal counsel in order to collect or enforce the terms and provisions hereof for any reason, including but not limited to the filing of a proof(s) of claim or any other proceedings under the Acts of Congress relating to Bankruptcy Proceedings or in any other type of receivership or insolvency proceedings, Payee shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees (through and including any appellate proceedings) and all costs and expenses incurred by Payee in collecting or enforcing payment hereof.

 

 
 

 

 

The Maker and any endorsers, sureties, guarantors, and all others who are, or may become liable for the payment hereof, (a) severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of protest of this Promissory Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Promissory Note, (b) expressly consent to all extensions of time, renewals, postponements of time of payment of this Promissory Note or other modifications hereof from time to time prior to or after the day they became due without notice, consent or consideration to any of the foregoing, (c) expressly agree to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable hereon, (d) expressly agree that the Payee shall not be required first to institute any suit, or to exhaust its remedies against the undersigned or any other person or party to become liable hereunder in order to enforce the payment of this Promissory Note, and (e) expressly agree that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing (except the express written release by the Payee of any such person), the Maker shall be and remain, directly and primarily liable for all sums due under this Promissory Note.

 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Promissory Note or any other instrument executed in connection with the loan evidenced here by, it is expressly agreed that the amounts payable under this Promissory Note or under the other aforesaid instruments for the payment of interest or any other payment in the nature of or which would be considered as interest or other charge for the use or loan of money shall not exceed the highest rate allowed by the laws of the State of Florida, from time to time, and in the event the provisions of this Promissory Note or of such other instrument referred to above in this paragraph with respect to the payment of interest or other payments in the nature of or which would be considered as interest or other charge for the use or loan of money shall result in exceeding such limitation, then the excess over such limitation shall not be payable and the amount otherwise agreed to have been paid shall be reduced by the excess so that such limitation will not be exceeded. If any payment is actually made which shall result in such limitation being exceeded, the amount of the excess shall constitute and be treated as a payment on the principal hereof and shall operate to reduce such principal by the amount of such excess, or if in excess of the principal indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded.

 

This Promissory Note shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

 

MAKER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREUNDER, OR ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PROMISSORY NOTE OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF EITHER THE MAKER OR LENDER. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PAYEE TO EXTEND THE CREDIT EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

CLASS 2011

 

          1.      Issuance . In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by OmniComm Systems, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),                 or registered assigns (the “Holder”) is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time, on or after the Issue Date (as defined below) until 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below),                 (XXX,XXX,) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at an initial exercise price per share (the “Exercise Price”) of $__ per share, subject to further adjustment as set forth herein. This Warrant was originally issued to the Holder or the Holder’s predecessor in interest on                 (the “Issue Date”).

 

2.      Exercise of Warrants .

 

2.1      General .

 

(a) This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time commencing on the Issue Date. Such exercise shall be effectuated by submitting to the Company (either by delivery to the Company or by facsimile transmission) a completed and duly executed Notice of Exercise included herein. The date such Notice of Exercise is faxed to the Company shall be the “Exercise Date,” provided that, if such exercise represents the full exercise of the outstanding balance of the Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant tenders this Warrant Certificate to the Company within five (5) Trading Days thereafter. The Notice of Exercise shall be executed by the Holder of this Warrant and shall indicate (i) the number of shares then being purchased pursuant to such exercise and (ii) whether the exercise is a cashless exercise.

 

 
 

 

 

(b) If the Notice of Exercise form elects a “cashless” exercise, the Holder shall thereby be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (w) the excess of the Current Market Value (as defined below) over the total cash exercise price of the portion of the Warrant then being exercised, divided by (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock. For the purposes of this Warrant, the terms (y) “Current Market Value” shall mean an amount equal to the Market Price of the Common Stock, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise, and (z) “Market Price of the Common Stock” shall mean the average Closing Price of the Common Stock for the three (3) Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Exercise Date.

 

(c) If the Holder provides on the Notice of Exercise form that the Holder has elected a “cash” exercise (or if the cashless exercise referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph (b) is not available in accordance with its terms), the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock for the shares then being exercised shall be payable, at the election of the Holder, in cash or by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided by the Company at the request of the Holder.

 

(d) Upon the appropriate payment, if any, of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased, together with the surrender of this Warrant Certificate (if required), the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased. The Company shall deliver such certificates representing the Warrant Shares in accordance with the instructions of the Holder as provided in the Notice of Exercise (the certificates delivered in such manner, the “Warrant Share Certificates”) within three (3) Trading Days (such third Trading Day, a “Delivery Date”) of (i) with respect to a “cashless exercise,” the Exercise Date or the Automatic Exercise Date, as the case may be, or, (ii) with respect to a “cash” exercise, the later of the Exercise Date or the date the payment of the Exercise Price for the relevant Warrant Shares is received by the Company.

 

(e) The Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 on the Exercise Date.

 

2.2      Automatic Exercise. If any portion of this Warrant remains unexercised as of the Expiration Date and the Market Price of the Common Stock as of the Expiration Date is greater than the applicable Exercise Price as of the Expiration Date, then, without further action by the Holder, this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised automatically on the date (the “Automatic Exercise Date”) which is the day immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date (or, in the event that the Expiration Date is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) as if the Holder had duly given a Notice of Exercise for a “cashless” exercise as contemplated by Section 2.1(b) hereof, and the Holder (or such other person or persons as directed by the Holder) shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on such Automatic Exercise Date. This Warrant shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Company on the Automatic Exercise Date by virtue of this Section 2.2 without any action by the Holder.

 

 
 

 

 

               2.3      Certain Definitions . As used herein, the term “Expiration Date” means                      .

 

3.      Reservation of Shares . The Company hereby agrees that, at all times during the term of this Warrant, there shall be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance of the Warrant Shares for the then unexercised portion of this Warrant. For the purposes of such calculations, the Company should assume that the outstanding portion of these Warrants was exercisable in full at any time, without regard to any restrictions which might limit the Holder’s right to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant held by the Holder.

 

4.      Mutilation or Loss of Warrant . Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.

 

5.      Rights of the Holder . The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

 

6.      Protection Against Dilution and Other Adjustments .

 

6.1      Adjustment Mechanism . If an adjustment of the Exercise Price is required pursuant to this Section 6 (other than pursuant to Section 6.4), the Holder shall be entitled to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as will cause (i) (v) the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to this Warrant following such adjustment, multiplied by (w) the adjusted Exercise Price per share, to equal the result of (ii) (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled to purchase before adjustment, multiplied by (y) the total Exercise Price before adjustment.

 

6.2      Capital Adjustments . In case of any stock split or reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification of the Common Stock, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (where the Company is not the surviving entity), the provisions of this Section 6 shall be applied as if such capital adjustment event had occurred immediately prior to the date of this Warrant and the original Exercise Price had been fairly allocated to the stock resulting from such capital adjustment; and in other respects the provisions of this Section shall be applied in a fair, equitable and reasonable manner so as to give effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes hereof. A rights offering to stockholders shall be deemed a stock dividend to the extent of the bargain purchase element of the rights. The Company will not effect any consolidation or merger, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock of the Company are entitled to receive as a result of such consolidation or merger assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Warrant (including under this Section 6) and the obligations to deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to acquire.

 

 
 

 

 

6.3      Adjustment for Spin Off . If, for any reason, prior to the exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company spins off or otherwise divests itself of a part of its business or operations or disposes all or of a part of its assets in a transaction (the “Spin Off”) in which the Company does not receive compensation for such business, operations or assets, but causes securities of another entity (the “Spin Off Securities”) to be issued to security holders of the Company, then the Company shall cause (i) to be reserved Spin Off Securities equal to the number thereof which would have been issued to the Holder had all of the Holder’s unexercised Warrants outstanding on the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining the amount and number of Spin Off Securities to be issued to security holders of the Company (the “Outstanding Warrants”) been exercised as of the close of business on the Trading Day immediately before the Record Date (the “Reserved Spin Off Shares”), and (ii) to be issued to the Holder on the exercise of all or any of the Outstanding Warrants, such amount of the Reserved Spin Off Shares equal to (x) the Reserved Spin Off Shares, multiplied by (y) a fraction, of which (I) the numerator is the amount of the Outstanding Warrants then being exercised, and (II) the denominator is the amount of the Outstanding Warrants.

 

7.      Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act. This Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “1933 Act”) and has been issued to the Holder for investment and not with a view to the distribution of either the Warrant or the Warrant Shares. Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act relating to such security or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the 1933 Act. Each certificate for the Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend on the face thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section.

 

8.      Supplements and Amendments; Whole Agreement . This Warrant may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. This Warrant contains the full understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no representations, warranties, agreements or understandings other than expressly contained herein and therein.

 

9.      Governing Law . This Warrant shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Florida for contracts to be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the County of Broward or the state courts of the State of Florida sitting in the County of Broward in connection with any dispute arising under this Warrant and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens , to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. To the extent determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Holder for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Holder in enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under any of the Transaction Agreements.

 

10.      JURY TRIAL WAIVER . The Company and the Holder hereby waive a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the Parties hereto against the other in respect of any matter arising out or in connection with this Warrant.

 

11.      Remedies . The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the Holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.

 

12.      Counterparts . This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

13.      Severability. If any one of the provisions contained in this Agreement, for any reason, shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

 

14.      Waiver . No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom it is asserted and any such written waiver shall only be applicable to the specific instance to which it relates and shall not be deemed to be a continuing or future waiver.

 

 
 

 

 

15.      Descriptive Headings . Descriptive headings of the several Sections of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

Exhibit 14

 

 

CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT

 

This Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “Code”) has been adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of OmniComm Systems, Inc. on April 13, 2016 in connection with the Board’s oversight of the management and business affairs of OmniComm Systems, Inc.

 

1. Purpose and Overview

 

a.

Application.  The Code is applicable to all officers, directors, employees and temporary employees (each, a “Covered Person”) of OmniComm Systems, Inc. and all of its U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company”).

 

 

b.

Purpose.  The Code summarizes the values, principles and business practices that guide the business conduct of the Company and also provides a set of basic principles to guide Covered Persons regarding the minimum ethical requirements expected of them. The Code supplements the Company’s existing employee policies, including those specified in the respective U.S. and non-U.S. employee handbook and also supplements various other codes of ethics, policies and procedures that have been adopted by the Company. All Covered Persons are expected to become familiar with the Code and to apply these principles in the daily performance of their jobs.

 

 

c.

Overriding Responsibilities.  It is the responsibility of all Covered Persons to maintain a work environment that fosters fairness, respect and integrity. The Company requires all Covered Persons to conduct themselves in a lawful, honest and ethical manner in all of the Company’s business practices.

 

 

d.

Questions.  All Covered Persons are expected to seek the advice of a supervisor, a manager, the Human Resources Department, or an Executive Officer (defined below) for additional guidance or if there is any question about issues discussed in this Code.

 

 

e.

Violations.  If any Covered Person observes possible unethical or illegal conduct, such concerns or complaints should be reported as set forth in Section 16 below.

 

 

f.

Definition of Executive Officer.  For the purposes of this Code, the term “Executive Officer” shall mean those officers, as shall be determined by the Board from time to time, who are subject to the reporting obligations of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and include the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

 

g.

Definition of Director.  For purposes of this Code, the term “Director” shall mean a member of the Board.

 

2. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

All Covered Persons of the Company are required to comply with all of the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the United States and other countries, and the states, counties, cities and other jurisdictions, in which the Company conducts its business, although traffic violations and other minor offenses will not be considered violations of this Code. Local laws may in some instances be less restrictive than the principles set forth in this Code. In those situations, Covered Persons should comply with the Code, even if the conduct would otherwise be legal under applicable laws. On the other hand, if local laws are more restrictive than the Code, Covered Persons should comply with applicable laws.

 

 
 

 

 

3. Securities Transactions

 

a.

Insider Trading.  Such legal compliance includes, without limitation, compliance with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, which prohibits Covered Persons from trading securities, either personally or on behalf of others, while in possession of applicable material non-public information or communicating such material non-public information to others in violation of the law. Securities include common stocks, preferred stock, options, warrants, convertible debentures, futures and other financial and investment instruments. Material information includes any information that a reasonable investor would consider important in a decision to buy, hold, or sell securities. These laws provide substantial civil and criminal penalties for individuals who fail to comply. The policy is described in more detail in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. In addition, the Company has implemented trading restrictions to reduce the risk, or appearance, of insider trading as set forth in more detail in the Company’s Trading Blackout Policy.

 

 

b.

Rule 10b5-1(c) Plans.  The Company may permit exemptions from the insider trading policies and procedures described above for transactions in securities issued by the Company effected pursuant to pre-approved, written trading plans or arrangements complying with Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Rule 10b5-1(c) plans or arrangements may not be entered into or modified either during trading blackout periods or when the Covered Person is aware of material, non-public information relating to the Company or its securities. All such plans or arrangements (and any modification or termination thereof) must be pre-approved by the Company.

 

 

c.

Rumors.  The dissemination of false or misleading information about companies or securities, particularly in volatile or fragile market conditions, can be a damaging form of market abuse which can affect both the firm concerned as well as general market conditions. It is against the law to start or circulate a rumor (defined as “information that is circulated purporting to be fact but which has not yet been verified”) if that rumor is likely to influence the market price of that security or that a reasonable person would expect it to have a material effect on the price of a security if it were widely circulated. Starting or disseminating any rumor with the intention of influencing the price movement of a security is a breach of this Code and may also constitute a violation of securities laws.

 

 

d.

Short Sales.  Covered Persons are prohibited from effecting short sales, including “short sales against the box” of securities issued by the Company. Also prohibited are economically equivalent transactions, whether in the form of call or put options, swap transactions or other derivative transactions, that would result in a Covered Person having a net short exposure to the Company.

 

 

e.

Questions Regarding Stock Trading.  All questions regarding insider trading or reports of impropriety in connection with securities transactions should be made to the Chief Financial Officer. See also Section 16 below.

 

4. Conflicts of Interest

 

a.

Avoidance of Conflicts . All Covered Persons are required to conduct themselves in a manner and with such ethics and integrity so as to avoid a conflict of interest, either real or apparent.

 

 

b.

Conflict of Interest Defined . A conflict of interest is any circumstance where an individual’s personal interest interferes with the interests of the Company. All Covered Persons have a duty to avoid financial, business or other relationships that might be opposed to the interests of the Company or might cause a conflict with the performance of their duties.

 

 
2

 

 

 

c.

Potential Conflict Situations . A conflict can arise when a Covered Person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her Company related work objectively and effectively. Conflicts also may arise when a Covered Person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company.

 

 

d.

Examples of Potential Conflicts . Some of the areas where a conflict could arise include:

 

i.

Employment by a competitor, regardless of the nature of the employment, while employed by the Company.

 

ii.

Placement of business with any firm or organization in which a Covered Person, or any member of the Covered Person’s family, has a substantial ownership interest or management responsibility.

 

iii.

Making endorsements or testimonials for third parties.

 

iv.

Disclosing the Company’s confidential information to a third party without the prior consent of senior management.

 

 

e.

Questions Regarding Conflicts . All questions regarding conflicts of interest and whether a particular situation constitutes a conflict of interest should be directed to the Chief Financial Officer. See also Section 16 below.

 

5. Corporate Opportunities

Covered Persons are prohibited from (i) taking for themselves opportunities that are discovered through the use of Company property, information or position, (ii) using Company property, information or position for personal gain, and/or (iii) competing with the Company. For example, to the extent that a Covered Person learns of an investment opportunity in a client because of their position with the Company, the Covered Person must not take advantage of the trading opportunity.

 

6. Gifts, Entertainment and Contributions

 

a.

Receipt of Gifts and Entertainment.  The Company’s aim is to deter providers of gifts or entertainment from seeking or receiving special favors from Covered Persons regarding the Company. The concern is that gifts of more than a nominal value may cause Covered Persons to feel placed in a position of “obligation” and/or give the appearance of a conflict of interest. Covered Persons should not solicit any third party for any gift, gratuity, entertainment or any other item regardless of its value. Covered Persons, including members of their immediate families, may accept or participate in “reasonable entertainment”. Covered Persons are encouraged to be guided by their own sense of ethical responsibility, along with any policies or guidelines adopted from time to time by the Company with respect to gifts and entertainment. The Company recognizes that this Section 6 is not intended to limit Directors who do not also serve in management positions within the Company from accepting compensation, bonuses, fees and other similar consideration paid in the normal course of business as a result of their outside business activity, employment or directorships.

 

 

b.

Anti-Corruption.  All Covered Persons are strictly prohibited from offering or giving gifts, meals, entertainment or other items of value to business partners or others (including government officials) in order to improperly influence them and should seek to avoid even the appearance of any impropriety. Covered Persons should be aware that practices that may be acceptable in the commercial business environment (such as providing certain transportation, meals, entertainment and other things of value) may be unacceptable and even illegal when they relate to government employees or others who act on a government’s behalf. Therefore, Covered Persons are required to comply with the relevant laws and regulations governing relations between government employees and customers and suppliers in every country where the Company conducts business.

 

 
3

 

 

 

c.

Political Contributions.  Election laws in many jurisdictions generally prohibit political contributions by corporations to candidates. Many local laws also prohibit corporate contributions to local political campaigns. In accordance with these laws, the Company does not make direct contributions to any candidates for federal, state or local offices where applicable laws make such contributions illegal and, in such cases, contributions to political campaigns must not be made with or reimbursed by the Company’s funds or resources. The Company’s funds and resources include (but are not limited to) the Company’s facilities, office supplies, letterhead, telephones and fax machines. Employees should direct all questions concerning political contributions to the Chief Financial Officer.

 

7. Outside Employment

 

a.

Restrictions . Subject to any departmental restrictions, Covered Persons are permitted to engage in outside employment if it is free of any actions that could be considered a conflict of interest. Outside employment must not adversely affect a Covered Person’s job performance at the Company, and outside employment must not result in absenteeism, tardiness or a Covered Person’s inability to work overtime when requested or required. Covered Persons may not engage in outside employment that requires or involves using Company time, materials or resources.

 

 

b.

Self-Employment . For purposes of this policy, outside employment includes self-employment.

 

 

c.

Required Approvals . Due to the fiduciary nature of the Company’s business, all potential conflicts of interest that could result from a Covered Person’s outside employment should be discussed with the Covered Person’s supervisor or manager and the Human Resources Department, prior to entering into additional employment relationships.

 

 

d.

Outside Directors Exempt . The Company recognizes that this Section 7 is not applicable to Directors who do not also serve in management positions within the Company.

 

8. Service as a Director

Covered Persons may not serve as a director, trustee, or in a similar capacity for any for-profit public or private entity, without approval of an Executive Officer and the Human Resources Department, or their respective designees. The Company recognizes that this Section 8 is not applicable to Directors who do not also serve in management positions within the Company.

 

9. Confidentiality

 

a.

Confidentiality Obligation . Covered Persons are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of information entrusted to them as a result of their roles with the Company, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. The sensitive nature of the Company’s business requires that the Company keep its customers’ confidence and trust. Covered Persons must be continuously sensitive to the confidential and privileged nature of the information to which they have access concerning the Company and its clients and customers, and must exercise the utmost discretion when discussing any work-related matters with third parties. Each Covered Person must safeguard the Company’s confidential information and not disclose it to a third party (other than a third party having a duty of confidentiality to the Company) without the prior consent of senior management.

 

 
4

 

 

 

b.

What Is Confidential Information . “Confidential information” includes but is not limited to, information, knowledge, ideas, documents or materials that are owned, developed or possessed by the Company or that in some other fashion are related to confidential or proprietary matters of the Company, its business, customers, shareholders, or Covered Persons. It includes all business, product, marketing, financial, accounting, personnel, operations, customers, supplier, technical and research information. It also includes computer systems, software, documentation, creations, inventions, literary works, developments, discoveries and trade secrets. Confidential information includes any non-public information of the Company that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed.

 

 

c.

Acknowledgment . All employees of the Company are expected to sign an agreement regarding the confidentiality policy set forth above at the time they become employed with the Company.

 

 

d.

Length of Confidentiality Obligations . Covered Persons are expected to comply with the confidentiality policy not only for the duration of their employment or service with the Company, but also after the end of their employment or service with the Company.

 

 

e.

Confidentiality Under the Code . All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code shall be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly.

 

 

f.

Whistleblower Exception.  Nothing in this Code prohibits any Covered Person from providing information about a possible securities law violation to any governmental agency or entity, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable law or regulation, without authorization from or notification to the Company or senior management.

 

10. Ownership of Intellectual Property

 

a.

Company Ownership . The Company owns all of the work performed by Covered Persons at and/or for the Company, whether partial or completed. All Covered Persons shall be obligated to assign to the Company all “intellectual property” that is created or developed by Covered Persons, alone or with others, while working for the Company.

 

 

b.

What Is Intellectual Property . “Intellectual Property” includes all trademarks and service marks, trade secrets, patents and patent subject matter and inventor rights in the United States and foreign countries and related applications. It includes all United States and foreign copyrights and subject matter and all other literary property and author rights, whether or not copyrightable. It includes all creations, not limited to inventions, discoveries, developments, works of authorship, ideas and know-how. It does not matter whether or not the Company can protect them by patent, copyright, trade secrets, trade names, trade or service marks or other intellectual property right. It also includes all materials containing any intellectual property. These materials include but are not limited to computer codes, tapes and disks, printouts, notebooks, drawings, artwork and other documentation. To the extent applicable, non-trade secret intellectual property constitutes a “work made for hire” owned by the Company, even if it is not a trade secret.

 

 

c.

Exceptions . The Company will not be considered to have a proprietary interest in a Covered Person’s work product if: (i) the work product is developed entirely on the Covered Person’s own time without the use or aid of any Company resources, including without limitation, equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secrets; (ii) the work product does not result from the Covered Person’s employment with the Company; and (iii) at the time a Covered Person conceives or reduces the creation to practice, it is not related to the Company’s business nor the Company’s actual or expected research or development.

 

 
5

 

 

 

d.

Required Disclosure . All Covered Persons must disclose to the Company all intellectual property conceived or developed while working for the Company. If requested, a Covered Person must sign all documents necessary to memorialize the Company’s ownership of intellectual property under this policy. These documents include but are not limited to assignments and patent, copyright and trademark applications.

 

11. Fair Dealing

Each Covered Person should endeavor to deal fairly with the Company’s customers, suppliers, competitors and Covered Persons and not to take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other unfair dealing practice.

 

12. Protection and Use of Company Property

All Covered Persons should protect the Company’s assets and ensure they are used for legitimate business purposes during employment with the Company. Improper use includes unauthorized personal appropriation or use of the Company’s assets, data or resources, including computer equipment, software and data.

 

13. Standards of Business Conduct

 

a.

Respectful Work Environment . The Company is committed to fostering a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Each individual should be permitted to work in a business-like atmosphere that promotes equal employment opportunities.

6
