ATLANTIC TECHNOLOGY VENTURES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 2001
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information. Accordingly, the financial statements
do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial
statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
considered necessary for fair presentation. Interim operating results are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2001 or for any subsequent period. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with Atlantic Technology Ventures,
Inc., and Subsidiaries' ("Atlantic") Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2000.
(2) LIQUIDITY
On November 6, 2001, Atlantic entered into an agreement with Joseph
Stevens & Company, Inc. in which Joseph Stevens agreed to act as placement agent
for a private placement of shares of Atlantic common stock. In that private
placement, the proposed purchase price of each share of Atlantic common stock
will be $0.24 and the minimum and maximum aggregate subscription amounts will be
$2,000,000 and $3,000,000, respectively. In addition, each investor will receive
a warrant to purchase one share of Atlantic common stock for every share of
Atlantic common stock purchased by that investor. The warrants will have an
exercise price of $0.29 and will be exercisable for five years from the closing
date. In connection with the offering, Atlantic will pay to Joseph Stevens a
placement fee equal to 7% of the aggregate subscription amount plus 10% of the
number of shares and warrants issued to the investors. Joseph Stevens has
informed Atlantic that as of the end of November 19, 2001, investors had placed
in escrow over $1,000,000 towards the aggregate subscription price of this
private placement, and Atlantic expects that by November 30, 2001, it will have
received commitments for at least the minimum aggregate subscription amount and
will be able to close this financing. There can, however, be no assurances that
the closing will take place, if at all.
Atlantic anticipates that their liquid resources, before any proceeds from
the proposed private placement, will be sufficient to finance their anticipated
needs for operating and capital expenditures at their current level of
operations for at least the next several weeks. Atlantic will attempt to
generate additional capital through a combination of collaborative agreements,
strategic alliances and equity and debt financing, and Atlantic anticipates that
the proceeds it expects to receive from the private placement conducted through
Joseph Stevens & Company, Inc. would be sufficient to finance its anticipated
needs for operating and capital expenditures at their current level of
operations for at least the next year. However, Atlantic can give no assurance
that they will receive any proceeds from the proposed private placement or
obtain funds through other sources on terms acceptable to them.
On May 7, 2001, Atlantic entered into a common stock purchase agreement
with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to
purchase up to $6.0 million of our common stock. This agreement replaced an
earlier common stock purchase agreement between Atlantic and Fusion Capital
dated March 16, 2001. Fusion's obligation to purchase Atlantic shares is subject
to certain conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement
covering the shares to be purchased. That registration statement was declared
effective on July 6, 2001. A material contingency that may affect Atlantic's
operating plans and ability to raise funds under this agreement is its stock
price. Currently, Atlantic's stock price is below the floor price of $0.68
specified in the Fusion Capital agreement and as a result Atlantic is currently
unable to draw funds pursuant to the Fusion Capital agreement. As the Fusion
Capital agreement is currently structured, Atlantic cannot guarantee that it
will be able to draw any funds. To date, Atlantic has not drawn funds pursuant
to this agreement. See note 11 below and see the liquidity discussion within
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
Subsequent to an oral hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications
Panel, on August 23, 2001, Atlantic's securities were delisted from the Nasdaq
Stock Market for failing to meet the minimum bid price requirements set forth in
the NASD Marketplace Rules, as Atlantic's common stock had traded for less than
$1.00 for more than 30
6
consecutive business days. Atlantic's common stock now trades on the OTC
Bulletin Board under the symbol "ATLC.OB". Delisting of Atlantic's common stock
from Nasdaq could have a material adverse effect on its ability to raise
additional capital, its stockholders' liquidity and the price of its common
stock.
(3) COMPUTATION OF NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss
applicable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share is the same as
basic net loss per common share, as common equivalent shares from stock options,
stock warrants, stock subscriptions, and convertible preferred stock would have
an antidilutive effect because Atlantic incurred a net loss during each period
presented.
(4) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
On January 1, 2001, Atlantic adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities--an amendment of SFAS
No. 133" and SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and
Certain Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 138 amends the accounting and
reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and
certain hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires a company to recognize all
derivative instruments as assets and liabilities in its balance sheet and
measure them at fair value. The adoption of these statements did not have a
material impact on Atlantic's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows, as Atlantic is currently not party to any
derivative instruments.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that
all business combinations be accounted for under a single method--the purchase
method. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer permitted. SFAS No.
141 requires that the purchase method be used for business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be
amortized to earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment. The amortization
of goodwill ceases upon adoption of the Statement, which for calendar year-end
companies, will be January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 has no financial impact on
Atlantic since Atlantic does not have any goodwill or intangible assets which
resulted from any previous business combinations.
(5) INCOME TAXES
Atlantic incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2001. In addition, Atlantic does not expect to generated book income for the
year ended December 31, 2001; therefore, no income taxes have been reflected for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001.
(6) PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDEND
On January 16, 2001 and August 7, 2001, Atlantic's board of directors
declared payment-in-kind dividends of 0.065 of a share of Series A convertible
preferred stock for each share of Series A convertible preferred stock held as
of the record dates of February 7, 2001 and August 7, 2001 respectively. The
estimated fair value of these dividends in the aggregate of $43,305 and $107,449
were included in Atlantic's calculation of net loss per common share for the
three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively. The
equivalent dividends for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2000 had an estimated fair value of $152,195 and $811,514, respectively and are
recorded in the same manner.
(7) ISSUANCE OF STOCK WARRANTS
As more fully described in Note 9 to Atlantic's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB/A as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000, on January 4, 2000,
Atlantic entered into a financial advisory and consulting agreement with Joseph
Stevens & Company, Inc. pursuant to which Atlantic issued to Joseph Stevens &
Company, Inc. three warrants to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of its
common stock. Atlantic recorded compensation expense relating to these stock
warrants in the amounts of $11,857 and $1,073,511 for the three-and nine-month
periods
7
ended September 30, 2000, respectively. No such compensation expense exists
subsequent to December 31, 2000 as the warrants are fully vested. These warrants
were still outstanding as of September 30, 2001.
On March 8, 2001, Atlantic entered into an agreement with The Investor
Relations Group, Inc. ("IRG") under which IRG will provide Atlantic investor
relations services. Pursuant to this agreement, Atlantic issued to Dian Griesel,
the principal of IRG, warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of its common stock at
an exercise price of $0.875 per share. These warrants will vest monthly in 5,000
share increments over a 24-month period. In addition, should Atlantic's stock
price reach $2.50, Atlantic will grant Dian Griesel warrants to purchase an
additional 50,000 shares of its common stock, and should Atlantic's stock price
reach $5.00, Atlantic will grant Dian Griesel warrants to purchase a further
50,000 shares of its common stock. As a result, Atlantic recorded compensation
expense relating to the issuance of the stock warrants to purchase 120,000
shares of $38,200 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 pursuant to
EITF Issue No. 96-18. As a result of a decline in Atlantic's common stock price
during the three months ended September 30, 2001, the cumulative expense
associated with these warrants was reduced. The depreciation in the estimated
fair value of the warrants previously recorded and the current quarter expense
resulted in a net reversal of compensation expense of $9,387 which is recorded
during the three months ended September 30, 2001. Atlantic will remeasure the
compensation expense at the end of each reporting period until the final
measurement date is reached 24 months after issuance. These warrants are
outstanding as of September 30, 2001.
On August 9, 2001, Atlantic entered into an agreement with Proteus Capital
Corp. ("Proteus") in which Proteus agreed to assist Atlantic with raising
additional funds. Pursuant to this agreement, Atlantic granted Proteus warrants
to purchase 100,000 shares of its common stock at $0.59 per share, which was the
average closing stock price for the two weeks ending August 17, 2001. The
warrants were fully vested on the date of the agreement and were outstanding at
September 30, 2001. The term of the warrants is five years. Atlantic recorded
compensation expense relating to these stock warrants of $45,355 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2001, pursuant to EITF Issue No. 96-18.
Compensation for these warrants relates to fundraising and investor
relations services and represents a general and administrative expense.
(8) REDEEMABLE SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES
On September 28, 2000, pursuant to a convertible preferred stock and
warrants purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") Atlantic issued to BH
Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership (together, the
"Investors") for a purchase price of $2,000,000, 689,656 shares of Atlantic's
Series B convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase 134,000 shares of
Atlantic's common stock. Half of the shares of the Series B preferred stock
(344,828 shares) and warrants to purchase half of the shares of common stock
(67,000 shares) were held in escrow, along with half of the purchase price.
On December 4, 2000, Atlantic and the Investors entered into a stock
repurchase agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") pursuant to which Atlantic
repurchased from the investors a portion of the outstanding shares.
Pursuant to Atlantic's subsequent renegotiations with the Investors,
Atlantic was required, among other things, to redeem on March 28, 2002, all
outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock for (A) 125% of the original
issue price per share or (B) the market price of the shares of common stock into
which they are convertible, whichever is greater (the "Redemption Price").
Atlantic would have been able to at any time redeem all outstanding shares of
Series B preferred stock at the Redemption Price. As a result of the
renegotiations discussed in this paragraph, the Series B preferred stock was
considered redeemable and the remaining outstanding shares at December 31, 2000
were classified outside of permanent equity in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet. At December 31, 2000, of the shares of Series B preferred stock
issued to the Investors, there were 206,898 shares outstanding at a carrying
amount of $2.90 per share.
Holders of shares of Atlantic's outstanding Series B preferred stock could
convert each share into shares of common stock without paying Atlantic any cash.
The conversion price per share of the Series B preferred stock was also amended
by the second amendment to the Purchase Agreement. The conversion price per
share of Series B
8
preferred stock on any given day is the lower of (1) $1.00 or (2) 90% of the
average of the two lowest closing bid prices on the principal market of the
common stock out of the fifteen trading days immediately prior to conversion.
The change in conversion price upon the renegotiations on January 9, 2001
resulted in a difference between the conversion price of the Series B preferred
stock and the market price of the common stock on the effective date of the
renegotiation. This amount, estimated at $600,000, was recorded as an imputed
preferred stock dividend within equity and is deducted from net loss to arrive
at net loss applicable to common shares during the nine months ended September
30, 2001.
On January 19, 2001, 41,380 shares of Series B preferred stock were
converted by the Investors into 236,422 shares of Atlantic's common stock. On
March 9, 2001, Atlantic and the Investors entered into a second stock repurchase
agreement pursuant to which Atlantic repurchased from the Investors, for an
aggregate purchase price of $617,067, all 165,518 shares of Atlantic's Series B
preferred stock held by the Investors on March 9, 2001. The carrying amount of
the 165,518 shares is equal to $480,000; therefore the amount in excess of the
carrying amount, which equals $167,127, was recorded as a dividend upon
repurchase of shares of Series B preferred stock and is deducted from net loss
to arrive at net loss applicable to common shares.
(9) DEVELOPMENT REVENUE
In accordance with an amended license and development agreement, which was
subsequently terminated as described below in note 10, Bausch & Lomb Surgical
reimbursed Atlantic's subsidiary, Optex Ophthalmologics, Inc. ("Optex"), for
costs Optex incurred in developing its Catarex technology, plus a profit
component. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, this agreement provided
$2,461,922 of development revenue, and related cost of development revenue of
$2,082,568. This agreement provided $1,072,716 and $3,419,831 of development
revenue, and related cost of development revenue of $858,173 and $2,735,865 for
the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 respectively. The
agreement was terminated in March 2001 (see note 10 below). Accordingly, there
was no development revenue or related expense for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2001.
(10) SALE OF OPTEX ASSETS
Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated January 31, 2001, among
Bausch & Lomb, a Bausch & Lomb affiliate, Atlantic, and Optex, on March 2, 2001,
Optex sold to Bausch & Lomb substantially all of its assets (mostly intangible
assets with no book value), including all those related to the Catarex
technology. The purchase price was $3 million paid at closing (of which
approximately $564,000 has been distributed to Optex's minority shareholders).
In addition, Optex is entitled to receive additional consideration, namely $1
million once Bausch & Lomb receives regulatory approval to market the Catarex
device in Japan, royalties on net sales on the terms stated in the original
development agreement dated May 14, 1998, between Bausch & Lomb and Optex, as
amended, and minimum royalties of $90,000, $350,000, and $750,000 for the first,
second, and third years, respectively, starting on first commercial use of the
Catarex device or January 1, 2004, whichever is earlier. Optex also has the
option to repurchase the acquired assets from Bausch & Lomb at fair value if it
ceases developing the Catarex technology.
Upon the sale of Optex assets, Bausch & Lomb's development agreement with
Optex was terminated and Optex has no further involvement with Bausch & Lomb. As
a result of this transaction, Atlantic recorded a net gain on the sale of Optex
assets of $2,569,451 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, net of
severance payments to former Optex employees in the amount of $240,000 as
described below. The purchase price of $3,000,000 is nonrefundable and upon the
closing of the asset purchase agreement in March 2001, Optex had no further
obligation to Bausch & Lomb or with regard to the assets sold. In the asset
purchase agreement, Optex agreed to forgo future contingent payments provided
for in the earlier development agreement. Pursuant to Atlantic's agreement with
the minority shareholders of Optex, Optex has recorded a profit distribution for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 of $837,274 representing the minority
shareholders' percentage of the cumulative profit from the Bausch & Lomb
development and asset purchase agreements up to and including proceeds from the
sale of Optex' assets.
On May 9, 2001, Atlantic's board of directors, after consideration of all
the relevant facts and circumstances, including recommendation of counsel,
agreed to authorize an aggregate payment of $240,000 to three former employees
of Optex (who are now employed by Bausch & Lomb). The payments were made on May
11, 2001, and represented the settlement of claims made by the employees
subsequent to the asset purchase agreement referred to above for severance
monies allegedly due under their employment agreement. Atlantic did
9
not believe these monies were due pursuant to the terms of the transaction
itself and the respective employment agreements. The board of directors elected
to acquiesce to the demands of the former employees and resolve the matter in
light of the potential future royalties from Bausch & Lomb and the importance of
these individuals to the ongoing development activities. The payment was
recorded as an expense netted against the gain on sale of Optex assets in the
September 30, 2001 consolidated statement of operations.
(11) PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF COMMON SHARES
On May 7, 2001, Atlantic entered into a common stock purchase agreement
with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to
purchase up to $6.0 million of Atlantic's common stock over a 30-month period,
subject to a six-month extension or earlier termination at Atlantic's
discretion. This agreement replaced an earlier common stock purchase agreement
between Atlantic and Fusion Capital dated March 16, 2001. Fusion's obligation to
purchase Atlantic shares is subject to certain conditions, including the
effectiveness of a registration statement covering the shares to be purchased.
That registration statement was declared effective on July 6, 2001. The selling
price of the shares will be equal to the lesser of (1) $20.00 or (2) a price
based upon the future market price of the common stock, without any fixed
discount to the market price. A material contingency that may affect Atlantic's
operating plans and ability to raise funds under this agreement is its stock
price. Currently, Atlantic's stock price is below the floor price of $0.68
specified in the Fusion Capital agreement and as a result Atlantic is currently
unable to draw funds pursuant to the Fusion Capital agreement. As the Fusion
Capital agreement is currently structured, Atlantic cannot guarantee that it
will be able to draw any funds. To date, Atlantic has not drawn funds pursuant
to this agreement. Atlantic paid a finder's fee of $120,000 in connection with
signing this agreement and subsequently was required to issue 600,000 commitment
shares to Fusion Capital; those shares had an estimated fair value of $444,000.
General and administrative expense for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2001, include amounts relating to the finder's fee and issuance of stock in the
aggregate amount of $564,000.
On August 1, 2001, Atlantic agreed to issue 35,000 shares of its common
stock to each of BH Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership
in return for their commitment to provide Atlantic with $3.5 million of
financing in connection with an asset purchase for which Atlantic had submitted
a bid. Atlantic subsequently issued those shares, but Atlantic did not
ultimately purchase those assets. Those shares had an estimated fair value of
$44,100, which is included as a general and administrative expense for the
three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001.
(12) SALE OF GEMINI ASSETS
Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated April 23, 2001, among
Atlantic, Atlantic's majority-owned subsidiary Gemini Technologies, Inc., the
Cleveland Clinic Foundation ("CCF") and CCF's affiliate IFN, Inc., Gemini sold
to IFN substantially all its assets, including all those related to the 2-5A
antisense enhancing technology, for future contingent royalty payments and
withdrawal of CCF's arbitration demand against Atlantic and Gemini. The
transaction closed on May 5, 2001. This transaction was beneficial to Atlantic
since it permitted Atlantic to avoid terminating the Cleveland sublicense with
no compensation to Gemini and spared Atlantic from having to pay the substantial
shutdown costs that Gemini would likely have incurred without this asset
purchase agreement. In connection with this sale, Atlantic recorded a loss of
$334,408. This loss results from net assets sold to IFN of $136,408 and a
liability related to SBIR grant funds for research on the 2-5A antisense
technology, of approximately $198,000. Of the $198,000 accrual established upon
closing, $194,500 remains accrued at September 30, 2001.
(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 2001, Atlantic stopped work on CryoComm, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Atlantic that had been developing superconducting electronics for
Internet packet switching and transport products. Discontinuing work on CryoComm
will allow Atlantic to focus on its core life-sciences technologies, although
Atlantic will continue to prosecute the patents on this technology. As part of
this restructuring, Walter Glomb's position was eliminated effective October 16,
2001, although Mr. Glomb will receive a 7% success fee if he is able to secure
funding to further develop this technology. As stated in his employment
agreement, Mr. Glomb will also receive a total of $62,500 in severance payments
due under his employment agreement over six months following his termination.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion of our results of operations and
financial condition in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for
the year ended December 31, 2000. This discussion includes "forward-looking"
statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and
financial performance. We use words such as we "expect," "anticipate,"
"believe," and "intend" and similar expressions to identify forward-looking
statements. Investors should be aware that actual results may differ materially
from our expressed expectations because of risks and uncertainties inherent in
future events, particularly those risks identified in the "Risk Factors" section
of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A, and should not unduly rely on
these forward looking statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 VS. 2000
In accordance with a license and development agreement, as amended, Bausch
& Lomb Surgical has paid our subsidiary, Optex Ophthalmologics, Inc. ("Optex"),
for developing its Catarex technology. With the termination of this agreement at
the conclusion of the sale of substantially all of Optex's assets (mostly
intangible assets with no book value) in March 2001, as described further below,
we no longer have the revenues or profits associated with that agreement
available to us. As a result, for the three months ended September 30, 2001,
this agreement provided no development revenue, and no related cost of
development revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, this
agreement provided $1,072,716 of development revenue, and related cost of
development revenue of $858,173.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2001, research and development expense
was $172,257 as compared to $424,829 in the third quarter of 2000. This decrease
is primarily due to the cessation of research and development activities on the
antisense technology as a result of the sale of the assets of Gemini.
Through September 30, 2000, we made an investment in TeraComm, Inc. of
$1,000,000 in cash and common stock and warrants valued at $1.8 million. During
the quarter ended September 30, 2000, we expensed $263,359 ($2,653,382 has been
expensed through September 30, 2000) of this payment as acquired in-process
research and development since TeraComm's product development activity was in
its very early stages. As a result of TeraComm's not meeting a technical
milestone at December 31, 2000, no further investments were made in TeraComm.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2001, general and administrative
expense was $496,294 as compared to $477,949 in the quarter ended September 30,
2000. This increase is principally due to an increase in payroll expenses of
approximately $38,000 and an increase in expenses associated with the issuance
of 35,000 shares of our common stock to each of BH Capital Investments, L.P. and
Excalibur Limited Partnership in August 2001 in return for their commitment to
provide us with $3.5 million of financing in connection with an asset purchase
for which we had submitted a bid. We subsequently issued those shares, but we
did not ultimately purchase those assets. Those shares had an estimated fair
value of $44,100, which was recorded as a general and administrative expense for
the three months ended September 30, 2001. These expense increases are offset by
a reduction in legal expenses of approximately $33,000, a reduction in travel
and entertainment expenses of about $17,000 and a reduction in other expenses of
$14,000 as a result of our efforts to reduce costs.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2001, we had compensation expense
relating to stock warrants of $35,968 as compared to $11,857 in the prior year.
The current quarter expense consists of $45,355 associated with fully-vested
warrants issued to Proteus Capital Corp. in August 2001 as partial compensation
for fundraising services, offset by a reduction in expense of $9,387 associated
with warrants issued to Dian Griesel as partial compensation for
investor-relations services. The reduction of compensation expense associated
with the warrants issued to Dian Griesel is a result of a decrease in our stock
price during the quarter. Additional expense associated with these warrants will
continue to be incurred over the remainder of the two-year term of the
agreement. As long as these warrants continue to vest, that expense will be
directly affected by the movement in the price of our common stock. For the
quarter ended September 30, 2000, the expense was associated with warrants
issued to
11
Joseph Stevens & Company as partial compensation for investment banking
services. Compensation expense relating to these investor relations and
investment banking services represent a general and administrative expense.
For the third quarter of 2001, interest and other income was $6,266,
compared to $22,940 in the third quarter of 2000. The decrease in interest
income is primarily due to the decline in our cash reserves.
Net loss applicable to common shares for the quarter ended September 30,
2001, was $735,562 as compared to $972,426 for the quarter ended September 30,
2000. This decrease in net loss applicable to common shares is attributable to
the recording of acquired in-process research and development expense in
conjunction with our investment in TeraComm Research, Inc. of $263,359 in the
third quarter of 2000, as well as a reduction of research and development
expenses of $252,572 from the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to
2001. The net loss continues to include our share of TeraComm's losses. This
will cease when our investment in TeraComm of $8,351 included in our
consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2001, is reduced to zero. The loss
differential is partially reduced by the termination of our agreement with
Bausch & Lomb. Since we no longer have the revenue or profits associated with
that agreement available to us, we had no profit resulting from this agreement
in the third quarter of 2001 as compared with $214,543 in the third quarter of
2000.
NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 VS. 2000
In accordance with a license and development agreement, as amended, Bausch
& Lomb Surgical has paid our subsidiary, Optex Ophthalmologics, Inc. ("Optex"),
for developing its Catarex technology. For the nine months ended September 30,
2001, this agreement provided $2,461,922 of development revenue and related cost
of development revenue of $2,082,568. For the nine months ended September 30,
2000, this agreement provided $3,419,831 of development revenue and related cost
of development revenue of $2,735,865. The decrease in revenues and related
expenses over last year was due to the fact that there were no revenues and
related expenses since the termination of the agreement in March 2001. The
decrease is offset by the recognition of a project completion bonus of
$1,067,345 paid out and recognized at the completion of the project in March
2001. With the termination of the above agreement at the conclusion of the sale
of substantially all of Optex's assets (mostly intangible assets with no book
value) in March 2001, as described further below, we will no longer have the
revenues or profits associated with that agreement available to us.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, research and development
expense was $774,340 as compared to $854,927 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000. This decrease is due mainly to the cessation of research and
development activities on the antisense technology as a result of the sale of
the assets of Gemini. This decrease is offset somewhat by increased expenditures
on certain development projects, including CT-3 during the first part of the
year.
Through September 30, 2000, we made an investment in TeraComm, Inc. of
$1,000,000 in cash and common stock and warrants valued at $1.8 million. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, we expensed $2,653,382 of this payment as
acquired in-process research and development since TeraComm's product
development activity was in its very early stages. As a result of TeraComm's not
meeting a technical milestone at December 31, 2000, no further investments were
made in TeraComm.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, general and administrative
expense was $2,333,567 as compared to $1,595,463 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. This increase is largely due to an increase in payroll costs
over last year of approximately $130,000, and an increase in expenses incurred
in conjunction with a common stock purchase agreement entered into during the
second quarter of 2001 with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC. These expenses include
the cost of our issuing 600,000 commitment shares to Fusion Capital of $444,000
and a finders fee of $120,000. Fusion's obligation to purchase our shares is
subject to certain conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration
statement covering the shares to be purchased. That registration statement was
declared effective on July 6, 2001. A material contingency that may affect our
operating plans and ability to raise funds under this agreement is our stock
price. Currently, our stock price is below the floor price of $0.68 specified in
the Fusion Capital agreement and as a result we are currently unable to draw
funds pursuant to the Fusion Capital agreement. As the Fusion Capital agreement
is currently structured, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to draw any
funds. To date, we have not drawn funds pursuant to this agreement. See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" for further details on this agreement. In
addition, we incurred expenses associated with the issuance of 35,000 shares of
our common stock to each of BH Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited
Partnership in
12
August 2001 in return for their commitment to provide us with $3.5 million of
financing in connection with an asset purchase for which we had submitted a bid.
We did not ultimately purchase those assets. Those shares had an estimated fair
value of $44,100 which was recorded as a general and administrative expense for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we had compensation expense
relating to stock warrants of $70,634 as compared to $1,073,511 in the prior
year. The current year expense consists of $25,279 associated with warrants
issued to Dian Griesel during March 2001 as partial compensation for investor
relations services and $45,355 associated with fully vested warrants issued to
Proteus Capital Corp in August 2001 as partial compensation for fund raising
services. Additional expense associated with the warrants issued to Dian Griesel
will continue to be incurred over the remainder of the two-year term of the
agreement. As long as these warrants continue to vest, that expense will be
directly affected by the movement in the price of our common stock. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, we had $1,073,511 of expense associated with
warrants issued to Joseph Stevens & Company as partial compensation for
investment banking services. Compensation expense relating to these investor
relations and investment banking services represent a general and administrative
expense.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, interest and other income
was $40,618, compared to $97,267 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
The decrease in interest income is primarily due to the decline in our cash
reserves.
Net loss applicable to common shares for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, was $2,044,369 as compared to $6,249,540 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. This decrease in net loss applicable to common shares is
attributable in part to a gain on the sale of the assets of our subsidiary,
Optex, recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 in the amount
of $2,569,451, partially offset by a distribution to the minority shareholders
of Optex of $837,274 (see further discussion of this sale below). In addition,
the decrease in net loss applicable to common shares is compounded by the
recording of acquired in-process research and development expense in conjunction
with our investment in TeraComm, Inc. of $2,653,382 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. In the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we recorded
compensation expense of $1,073,511 relating to stock warrants issued to Joseph
Stevens & Company compared with compensation expense of $70,634 relating to
stock warrants issued to the Dian Griesel and Proteus Capital Corp. during the
current year. The loss differential is partially reduced by a loss recorded on
the sale of the assets of Gemini of $334,408 in the nine months ended September
30, 2001 and the cost of our issuing 600,000 commitment shares to Fusion Capital
Fund II, LLC of $444,000 incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
In addition, with the termination of our agreement with Bausch & Lomb, we no
longer have the revenue or profits associated with that agreement available to
us. As a result, we had a reduction in profit from this agreement of $304,612
from the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 2001.
Net loss applicable to common shares for the nine months ended September
30, 2001 also included a beneficial conversion on shares of our Series B
preferred stock in the amount of $600,000 and a dividend of $167,127 paid upon
the repurchase of the outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock recorded
during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We also issued preferred stock
dividends on our Series A preferred stock for which the estimated fair value of
$107,449 and $811,514 was included in the net loss applicable to common shares
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The
decrease in the estimated fair value of these dividends as compared to the prior
year is primarily a reflection of the decline in our stock price and a reduction
of the number of preferred shares issued.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
From inception to September 30, 2001, we incurred an accumulated deficit
of $26,163,254, and we expect to continue to incur additional losses through the
year ending December 31, 2001 and for the foreseeable future. The loss has been
incurred through primarily research and development activities related to the
various technologies under our control.
Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated January 31, 2001, among
Bausch & Lomb, a Bausch & Lomb affiliate, Atlantic, and Optex, on March 2, 2001,
Optex sold to Bausch & Lomb substantially all its assets (mostly intangible
assets with no book value), including all those related to the Catarex
technology. As a result of this sale, Atlantic and Optex no longer have any
obligations to Bausch & Lomb in connection with development of
13
the Catarex technology. The purchase price was $3 million paid at closing
(approximately $564,000 of which was distributed to the minority shareholders).
In addition, Optex is entitled to receive additional consideration, namely $1
million once Bausch & Lomb receives regulatory approval to market the Catarex
device in Japan, royalties on net sales on the terms stated in the original
development agreement dated May 14, 1998, between Bausch & Lomb and Optex, as
amended, and minimum royalties of $90,000, $350,000, and $750,000 for the first,
second, and third years, respectively, starting on first commercial use of the
Catarex device or January 1, 2004, whichever is earlier. Optex also has the
option to repurchase the acquired assets from Bausch & Lomb if it ceases
developing the Catarex technology at fair value. Upon the sale of Optex assets,
Bausch & Lomb's development agreement with Optex was terminated. In the asset
purchase agreement Optex agreed to forgo future contingent payments provided for
in the earlier development agreement. As a result of this transaction, we
recorded a gain on the sale of Optex assets of $2,569,451. We made a profit
distribution of $837,274 to Optex's minority shareholders, representing their
share of the cumulative profit from the development agreement with Bausch & Lomb
and the proceeds from the sale of Optex' assets.
On September 28, 2000, pursuant to a convertible preferred stock and
warrants purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), we issued to BH Capital
Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership (together, the "Investors")
for a purchase price of $2,000,000, 689,656 shares of our Series B convertible
preferred stock and warrants to purchase 134,000 shares of our common stock.
Half of the shares of Series B preferred stock (344,828 shares) and warrants to
purchase half of the shares of common stock (67,000 shares) were held in escrow,
along with half of the purchase price.
On December 4, 2000, Atlantic and the Investors entered into a stock
repurchase agreement (the stock "Repurchase Agreement") pursuant to which we
repurchased from the Investors for $500,000 137,930 shares of Series B preferred
stock, and agreed to the release from escrow to the Investors of the $1,000,000
purchase price of the 344,828 shares of Series B preferred stock held in escrow.
We also allowed the Investors to keep all of the warrants issued under the
purchase agreement and issued to the Investors warrants to purchase a further
20,000 shares of our common stock at the same exercise price. On January 19,
2001, 41,380 shares of Series B preferred stock were converted by the Investors
into 236,422 shares of our common stock. On March 9, 2001, Atlantic and the
Investors entered into a second stock repurchase agreement pursuant to which we
repurchased from the Investors, for an aggregate purchase price of $617,067, all
165,518 shares of our Series B preferred stock held by the Investors. The
repurchase price represented 125% of the purchase price originally paid by the
investors for the repurchased shares, as well as an amount equal to the annual
dividend on the Series B preferred stock at a rate per share of 8% of the
original purchase price. The repurchased shares constitute all remaining
outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock; we have cancelled those shares.
On May 7, 2001, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with
Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to purchase
up to $6.0 million of our common stock over a 30-month period, subject to a
6-month extension or earlier termination at our discretion. This agreement
replaced an earlier common stock purchase agreement between Atlantic and Fusion
Capital dated March 16, 2001. Fusion's obligation to purchase shares of our
common stock is subject to certain conditions, including the effectiveness of a
registration statement covering the shares to be purchased. That registration
statement was declared effective on July 6, 2001. The selling price of the
shares will be equal to the lesser of (1) $20.00 or (2) a price based upon the
future market price of the common stock, without any fixed discount to the
market price. A material contingency that may affect our operating plans and
ability to raise funds under this agreement is our stock price. Currently, our
stock price is below the floor price of $0.68 specified in the Fusion Capital
agreement and as a result we are currently unable to draw funds pursuant to the
Fusion Capital agreement. As the Fusion Capital agreement is currently
structured, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to draw any funds. To date,
we have not drawn funds pursuant to this agreement. We paid a $120,000 finder's
fee relating to this transaction to Gardner Resources, Ltd. and issued to Fusion
Capital Fund II, LLC 600,000 common shares as a commitment fee. Those shares had
an estimated fair value of $444,000. We have amended our agreement with Fusion
Capital to allow Atlantic to draw funds pursuant to the agreement regardless of
its listing status on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
On November 6, 2001, we entered into an agreement with Joseph Stevens &
Company, Inc. in which Joseph Stevens agreed to act as placement agent for a
private placement of shares of our common stock. In that private placement, the
price of each share of our common stock will be $0.24 and the minimum and
maximum subscription amounts will be $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, respectively. In
addition, each investor will receive a warrant to purchase one share of our
common stock for every share of our common stock purchased by that investor.
14
The warrants will have an exercise price of $0.29 and will be exercisable for
five years from the closing date. In connection with the offering, we will pay
to Joseph Stevens a placement fee equal to 7% of the aggregate subscription
amount plus 10% of the number of shares and warrants issued to the investors.
Joseph Stevens has informed us that as of the end of November 19, 2001,
investors had placed in escrow over $1,000,000 towards the aggregate
subscription price of this private placement, and we expect that by November 30,
2001, we will have received commitments for at least the minimum aggregate
subscription amount and will be able to close this financing. There can,
however, be no assurances that the closing will take place by then, or at all.
Our available working capital and capital requirements will depend upon
numerous factors, including progress of our research and development programs;
our progress in and the cost of ongoing and planned preclinical and clinical
testing; the timing and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals; the cost of
filing, prosecuting, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other
intellectual property rights; competing technological and market developments;
changes in our existing collaborative and licensing relationships; the resources
that we devote to developing manufacturing and commercializing capabilities;
technological advances; the status of our competitors; our ability to establish
collaborative arrangements with other organizations; and our need to purchase
additional capital equipment.
At September 30, 2001, we had $440,558 in cash and cash equivalents. As of
September 30, 2001, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets and we
had a working capital deficit of $280,607. We anticipate that our resources,
before any proceeds from the proposed private placement, will be sufficient to
finance our anticipated needs for operating and capital expenditures at our
current level of operations for at least the next several weeks. We anticipate,
however, that the proceeds we expect to receive from the private placement
conducted through Joseph Steven & Company, Inc. would be sufficient to finance
our anticipated needs for operating and capital expenditures at our current
level of operations for at least the next year. In addition, we will attempt to
generate capital through a combination of collaborative agreements, strategic
alliances, and debt financing. However, we can give no assurance that we will be
able to obtain additional capital through these sources or upon terms acceptable
to us.
We have the following short term and long term liquidity needs. Our cash
utilized for operations for the next year is expected to be approximately
$150,000 per month. Currently, these expected operating expenses include
approximately $40,000 per month for research and preclinical development
expenses and approximately $110,000 for general and administrative expenses.
Based on our cash position of $440,558 at September 30, 2001, we will have to
raise additional funds within the next month to fund our current spending
requirements. At present, we have reduced or eliminated planned levels of
development activities.
On August 9, 2001, we retained Proteus Capital Corp. on a non-exclusive
basis as our investment bankers to assist us with raising additional funds.
Pursuant to our agreement with Proteus, we granted Proteus warrants to purchase
100,000 shares of our common stock at $0.59 per share, which was the average
closing stock price for the two weeks ending August 17, 2001. The warrants were
fully vested on the date of the agreement and the term of the warrants is five
years.
Subsequent to an oral hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications
Panel, on August 23, 2001, our securities were delisted from the Nasdaq Stock
Market for failing to meet the minimum bid price requirements set forth in the
NASD Marketplace Rules, as our common stock had traded for less than $1.00 for
more than 30 consecutive business days. Our common stock trades now on the OTC
Bulletin Board under the symbol "ATLC.OB". Delisting our common stock from
Nasdaq could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise additional
capital, our stockholders' liquidity and the price of our common stock.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
Optex and the Catarex(TM) Technology
Our majority-owned (81.2%) subsidiary, Optex, is entitled to royalties and
other revenues in connection with commercialization of the Catarex technology.
Bausch & Lomb, a multinational ophthalmics company, is developing this
technology to overcome the limitations and deficiencies of traditional cataract
extraction techniques. Optex had been the owner of this technology and was
developing it pursuant to a development agreement with
15
Bausch & Lomb, but on March 2, 2001, Optex sold to Bausch & Lomb substantially
all of its assets (mostly intangible assets with no book value), including those
related to the Catarex technology, and delivered 2,400 "First-Generation"
Catarex handpieces to Bausch & Lomb for use in Human Feasibility Studies and
Clinical Trials.
Bausch & Lomb, which has committed over $15 million on the project to
date, has assumed full responsibility for development and marketing of the
technology, and will pay Optex royalties on sales of the device and associated
system.
Bausch & Lomb planned to conduct a Human Feasibility Study on the First
Generation Catarex handpiece at a location outside the United States in mid-
September 2001, but cancelled it due to several factors including the immediate
concern surrounding extended travel as a result the September 11, 2001 terrorist
tragedy.
Accordingly, Bausch & Lomb informed us that, in an effort to accelerate
the project, it will combine the Feasibility Study and Clinical Trials on the
First-Generation Catarex handpiece into one study under an FDA approved
Investigational Device Exemption (IDE). Bausch & Lomb considers that the risk of
combining the two studies is minimal since all the studies to date indicate that
the system operates as intended.
Bausch & Lomb informed us that it plans to submit the IDE to the FDA in
the fourth quarter of 2001. Once received, the FDA requires 30 days for review
and approval. This would allow Bausch & Lomb to begin the trials as early as the
first quarter of 2002, depending on the speed of patient registration. Once the
Clinical Trails are completed there will be a 90 day follow-up period, and then
the data will be submitted in a report to the FDA along with a 510(k)
application for the First-Generation Catarex handpiece.
Bausch & Lomb has also informed us that it is continuing to develop the
Second-Generation Catarex handpiece that better integrates the "back-end"
plumbing of the Catarex handpiece with its Millenium Surgical platform, but
retains unchanged the "front-end" surgical instrument of the Catarex handpiece
that enters the human eye during surgery. Since the front-end of the
Second-Generation handpiece is unchanged from the First-Generation handpiece,
Bausch & Lomb believes that FDA 510(k)/IDE approval of the First-Generation
Catarex handpiece should streamline FDA approval of the Second-Generation
Catarex handpiece by allowing it to be filed under a straight 510(k) application
scheduled to follow shortly thereafter.
CT-3 Anti-inflammatory/Analgesic Compound
We are developing our proprietary compound CT-3, a patented synthetic
derivative of carboxylic tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-7C), as an alternative to
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or "NSAIDs," such as aspirin and
ibuprofen. Over 130 million Americans suffer from chronic pain and 40 million
suffer from arthritis. Worldwide prescription sales of
analgesic/anti-inflammatory drugs exceeded $9 billion in 1999. Preliminary
studies have shown that CT-3 demonstrates analgesic/anti-inflammatory properties
at microgram doses without central nervous system or gastrointestinal side
effects and also reduces joint damage caused by rheumatoid arthritis.
Since CT-3 appears to possess a wide range of therapeutic activity, we are
carefully choosing an indication that we feel CT-3 would be most efficacious for
and one that will strategically allow us to increase the licensing value of CT-3
in the most timely and cost effective manner. We are continuing our efforts by
conducting additional preclinical tests to study the analgesic activity of CT-3,
particularly with reference to neuropathic pain. Preliminary results show that
CT-3 intraperitoneally dramatically reduces allodynia in neuropathic rats (with
a partial sciatic nerve ligation). We are planning to initiate shortly a Phase
I/II clinical trial of safety, tolerability, and efficacy to determine the upper
limits of safe dosing with CT-3 and to measure the potential for CT-3 to act as
a pain reliever in patients with neuropathic pain. In addition, we have recently
initiated a development plan for CT-3 to test its efficacy in multiple
sclerosis. In an animal model for multiple sclerosis, CT-3 induced a significant
decrease in spasticity, demonstrated a rapid inhibition of limb stiffness and
the effect was relatively long-lived. The results of the study validated
spasticity as a potential indication for CT-3 use. We are also preparing to
conduct Phase II clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of CT-3 in multiple
sclerosis-associated tremors and spasticity.
We are continuing to develop CT-3 for use in the treatment of a variety of
indications. In order to significantly increase the potential value of a
sublicensing deal, we have determined to delay sublicensing CT-3, to
16
suitable strategic partners to assist in clinical development, regulatory
approval filing, manufacturing and marketing of CT-3 until after successful
completion of the Phase II Clinical Trials.
CryoComm
In October 2001, we stopped work on CryoComm, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Atlantic that had been developing superconducting electronics for Internet
packet switching and transport products. CryoComm had developed and identified
all the elements required to demonstrate an ultrafast fiber-optic packet switch
based in superconducting electronics and had been seeking directed investment of
$5 million to fund this demonstration. We have presented this plan to major
global long-haul telecommunications carriers, and although their responses have
been uniformly positive, and although they have encouraged us to proceed with
this development, we have not be able to secure a directed investment from them
or from other private funding sources. Moreover, we determined that we would be
unlikely to secure financing for the foreseeable future, given the recent
dramatic slowdown in planned telecommunication infrastructure spending, a
slowdown that is partially the result of current overcapacity and an especially
harsh economic downward correction in the telecommunications equipment sector.
Discontinuing work on CryoComm will allow us to focus on our core
life-sciences technologies, although we will continue to prosecute the patents
on this technology. As part of this restructuring, Walter Glomb's position was
eliminated effective October 16, 2001, although Mr. Glomb will receive a 7%
success fee if he is able to secure funding to further develop this technology.
He will also receive a total of $62,500 in severance payments due under his
employment agreement over six months following his termination.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On November 6, 2001, we entered into an agreement with Joseph Stevens &
Company, Inc. in which Joseph Stevens agreed to act as placement agent for a
private placement of shares of our common stock. In that private placement, the
price of each share of our common stock will be $0.24 and the minimum and
maximum subscription amounts will be $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, respectively. In
addition, each investor will receive a warrant to purchase one share of our
common stock for every share of our common stock purchased by that investor. The
warrants will have an exercise price of $0.29 and will be exercisable for five
years from the closing date. In connection with the offering, we will pay to
Joseph Stevens a placement fee equal to 7% of the aggregate subscription amount
plus 10% of the number of shares and warrants issued to the investors.
We anticipate that proceeds from this private placement will be sufficient
to finance our anticipated needs for operating and capital expenditures at our
current level of operations for at least the next year. We expect that by
November 30, 2001, we will have received commitments for the minimum aggregate
subscription amount and will be able to close this financing.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Changes in Securities
(c) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Shares of common stock issued to BH Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur
Limited Partnership
On August 1, 2001, we agreed to issue 35,000 shares of our common stock to
each of BH Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership in return
for their commitment to provide us with $3.5 million of financing in connection
with an asset purchase for which we had submitted a bid. We subsequently issued
those shares but ultimately did not purchase those assets. In issuing these
shares, we relied on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D of
the Securities Act.
Warrants issued to Proteus Capital Corp. for the purchase of shares of
common stock.
On August 9, 2001, we entered into an agreement with Proteus Capital Corp
("Proteus") in which Proteus agreed to assist us with raising additional funds.
Pursuant to this agreement, we granted Proteus warrants to purchase 100,000
shares of our common stock at $0.59 per share, which was the average closing
stock price for the two weeks ending August 17, 2001. The warrants were fully
vested on the date of the agreement and were outstanding at September 30, 2001.
The term of the warrants is five years. In issuing these shares, we relied on
the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D of the Securities Act.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On July 17, 2001, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
definitive proxy statement seeking stockholder approval of the following three
proposals at the annual meeting of stockholders held on August 8, 2001:
1. RESOLVED, that Frederic P. Zotos, Steve H. Kanzer, Peter O. Kliem
and A. Joseph Rudick be and hereby are re-elected as directors of Atlantic,
to serve until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.
2. RESOLVED, that the board of directors' selection of KPMG LLP to
serve as Atlantic's independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2001,
hereby is ratified.
3. RESOLVED, that Atlantic may transact such other business as may be
properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or adjournments
thereof.
All three proposals were approved by our stockholders. Having received
more than 98% of the 6,187,435 votes cast, Dr. Rudick, Mr. Zotos, Mr. Kanzer
and Mr. Kliem were duly elected. The appointment of KPMG as our auditor was
approved by 6,177,595 votes (or 99.8%) of the 6,187,435 votes cast. The
resolution authorizing us to transact such other business as may properly
come before the annual meeting and any adjournments thereof was approved by
6,022,611 (or 97.3%) of the 6,187,435 votes cast.
Item 5. Other Information
Delisting of Our Securities
As of March 20, 2001, the minimum bid price of our common stock had been
less than $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. This constituted a failure on
our part to meet Nasdaq's continued inclusion requirement for minimum bid price.
On March 22, 2001, Nasdaq notified us of this failure, and we had a period
of 90 calendar days from that notice to comply with the continued inclusion
standard for minimum bid price. To do so, we would have had to meet that
standard for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 90-day
compliance period. We failed
18
to do so, and on June 21, 2001, Nasdaq notified us that we would be delisted on
June 29, 2001, unless by June 28, 2001, we requested a hearing before Nasdaq's
Listing Qualifications Panel.
On June 28, 2001, we requested a hearing, and that hearing was held on
August 9, 2001. On August 23, 2001, our securities were delisted from the Nasdaq
Stock Market for failing to meet the minimum bid price requirements set forth in
the NASD Marketplace Rules. Our common stock now trades on the OTC Bulletin
Board under the symbol "ATLC.OB". Delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq
could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital,
our stockholders' liquidity and the price of our common stock.
