Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Interim Financial Information
The interim financial information as of September 30, 2004 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 is unaudited. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported have been made. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 is not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2004.
On July 30, 2004, the Company consummated a merger transaction with Impact Diagnostics, Inc., a privately held Utah company, pursuant to an agreement dated July 6, 2004. As a result of the merger, Impact Diagnostics, Inc. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction for accounting purposes is a reverse merger and is presented as a recapitalization of Impact Diagnostics, Inc.
The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Continuing as a going concern is dependent upon successfully obtaining additional working capital through debt and equity financing.
2. Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Because the Company has incurred net losses from operations in each of the periods presented, there is no difference between basic and diluted net loss per share amounts. The computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 does not include 3,968,252 outstanding common stock options, with exercise prices at $0.18 per share, and 5,132,729 outstanding common stock warrants with exercise prices ranging from $0.01
to $0.185 per share, because of their antidilutive effect on net loss per share. During the nine month period ending September 30, 2003 there were no outstanding options or warrants to purchase the Company's common stock.
3. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation" which requires compensation cost for stock-based compensation plans be recognized based on the difference, if any, between the quoted market price of the stock on the measurement date (generally the date of the grant) and the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure", requires certain additional disclosures of the pro forma compensation expense arising from the Company's stock-based compensation plan. The expense is measured using the fair value of the award as of the date it was granted using an option-pricing model that takes into account: the exercise price and expected term of the option, the current price of the
underlying stock, its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the expected risk-free rate of return during the term of the option. The compensation cost is recognized over the expected service period, usually the period from the grant date to the exercise date.
The following table illustrates the effect on the Company's net loss and net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 if the Company had applied the fair value based method.

During the quarter ending September 30, 2004, employees of the Company were issued 3,618,254 options to purchase stock at the market price on the grant date. Additionally, on September 1, 2004, 350,000 options to purchase stock at $0.18 per share were issued to non-employee directors. Expense of $13,204, related to the Director options, issued below market price, was included in the net loss.
3. Significant Non-cash Transactions
In the quarter ending September 30, 2004, in connection with the Merger, the Company converted several notes payable to equity:
Two loans from stockholders totaling $45,779 were converted into 249,475 shares of common stock. Interest payable of $1,439 was forgiven.
A bridge note for $200,000 and accrued interest of $ 5,885 was converted into 2,720,000 shares. Since the conversion rate was less than the market price on the loan commitment date, a beneficial conversion feature existed. Calculation of the beneficial conversion feature resulted in an amount in excess of the debt, and as a result, the Company is recognizing interest expense in the amount of $200,000, as the beneficial conversion feature can not exceed the value of the debt.
A note for $587,753 and accrued interest of $ 175,787 was restructured into a 3-yr note of $350,000 and 89,500 5-year warrants to purchase additional shares at $0.01 per share. The note is convertible to shares at a conversion price of $.838 per share. Interest is payable quarterly at 6% per year. These warrants have an option value of $0.03779 per share and have been recognized as a reduction of the gain on extinguishment of debt.
4. Capital Stock Activity
On July 30, 2004, the Company consummated a merger transaction with Impact Diagnostics, Inc., a privately held Utah company, pursuant to an agreement dated July 6, 2004. As a result of the merger, Impact Diagnostics, Inc. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction for accounting purposes is a reverse merger and is presented as a recapitalization of Impact Diagnostics, Inc.
In connection with the Merger, on July 5, 2004, the Board of Directors of Impact Diagnostics, Inc. approved a stock split of 3.58 shares to 1. As a result of the split, the outstanding common stock of Impact Diagnostics, Inc. increased from 9,793,497 to 35,060,720 shares. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Impact Diagnostics common stock was exchanged for one share of Grant Life Sciences common stock. All numbers, in the financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.
On August 19, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of 9,560,625 shares to accredited investors at a price of $0.1835 per share. As an additional enticement to purchase the shares, one 5-year warrant to purchase stock at $0.18 was issued for each 5 shares of stock purchased. The private placement resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $1,494,937. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 2,670,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.01 per warrant and warrants to purchase 411,104 shares at an exercise price of $0.185 per warrant to its placement agent in connection with the Merger and private placement.
A bridge loan of $50,000, made to the company on July 6, 2004, was converted to equity as part of the private placement. In addition to the warrants received as part of the offering, 50,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.18 were issued to the lender.
5. Subsequent Event
On November 12, 2004, the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, was increased from 50,000,000 to 150,000,000. Additionally, 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock were authorized. No shares of preferred stock have been issued to date.
In month of November, 2,403,000 common stock warrants were exercised for total cash proceeds of $24,030. These warrants were originally issued in connection with the Merger and private placement of common stock.
Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We are considered a development stage company engaged primarily in the development of protein-based screening tests that are used to screen woman for cervical cancer and pre-cancerous conditions that typically result in cervical cancer. We believe our tests detect the presence of certain antibodies that appear only when cervical cancer or certain pre-cancerous conditions are present in the body. Our tests are performed by analyzing a small amount of blood taken from the patient. In one version of our test, the blood sample is analyzed in a clinical testing laboratory using standard laboratory equipment and analytic software, which generally can produce test results in about 2 hours. Our rapid test is designed to be administered at the point of care by a health professional in a
doctors office, hospital, and clinic or even at home, and provides easy-to-read results in approximately 15 minutes. Our planned cervical cancer test uses proprietary technology to detect the presence of antibodies. We believe that in the future we may be able to use that technology to develop rapid tests for other diseases and cancers.
On July 30, 2004, we acquired Impact Diagnostics, Inc. through the merger of our wholly owned subsidiary, Impact Acquisition Corporation, into Impact Diagnostics. As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Impact Diagnostics was converted into the right to receive one share of our common stock, and Impact Diagnostics became a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company. We now own, indirectly through Impact Diagnostics, all of the assets of Impact Diagnostics.
For accounting purposes, the acquisition of Impact Diagnostics is treated and presented as a recapitalization of Impact Diagnostics. Therefore, unless otherwise indicated, all historical financial information presented about our Company is historical financial information of Impact Diagnostics only, the historical audited and un-audited interim financial statements are the financial statements of Impact Diagnostics, and no historical financial information or financial statements of Grant Ventures are included.
In 2003 and 2002, we had no revenues and incurred net losses of $253,881 and $646,201 respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, we had no revenues and incurred net losses of $924,598 and $174,291, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, we incurred net losses of $460,351 and $65,874 respectively. Since inception in July 1998, we have incurred cumulative losses of $2,395,587. Increased spending in the 3rd quarter of 2004, compared to the prior year, was due to an increase in merger related expenses, an increase in consulting expense, staff expense and other business development costs.
In connection with the Merger, between July 30, 2004 and August 19, 2004, we sold 1,912,125 units in a private placement, at a purchase price of $0.9175 per unit ($0.1835 per share), resulting in gross proceeds to our Company of $1,754,375. Net proceeds after legal, accounting, printing, and filing fees is approximately $1,494,937. Each unit was comprised of five shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.18 per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that we currently have sufficient capital to satisfy our cash requirements through January 2005. We plan to raise additional capital in the next three months through the sale of equity and/or debt securities to support our development plan in the medical diagnostics industry. However, we currently do not have any committed sources of financing. We may be unable to raise additional financing on acceptable terms when we need to, or we may not be able to raise additional financing at all.
Plan of Operation
During the next 12 months, we plan to complete the development of our cervical cancer screening tests. We intend to continue to validate the effectiveness of the processes that we currently use in the tests we are developing through trials being conducted for us by a reference laboratory. We plan to meet with regulatory agencies in the United States and in other countries to determine the clinical trials and studies we will have to undertake and the data and other information we will be required to submit to them to support our future applications for authority to market and sell our planned cervical cancer tests in those countries. We also plan to begin studies and clinical trials in the United States and other countries that will be required in connection with our regulatory
applications.
During the next 12 months, we anticipate that we will add employees, including scientists and other professionals in the research and development, product development, business development, regulatory, manufacturing, marketing, clinical studies, finance and legal areas.
During the next year, we expect to acquire laboratory assets to augment our clinical research and development efforts. As part of this effort, Grant plans to develop a laboratory facility either through the purchase of existing assets or by acquiring equipment and outfitting its own facilities. The location of a new laboratory has not yet been determined.
