3.    Financial Instruments:

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, convertible promissory note, notes receivable, accrued expenses, promissory note payable and other liabilities approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturity. The Company currently has only minimal sales in global markets and is not exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.  Foreign currency transaction gains and (losses), if any, are included in other income (expense), and were $0 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  On September 30, 2014, the Company had no open foreign exchange contracts to sell Euros or any other foreign currencies.  Certain warrants expired on September 9, 2013, which then ended the Company’s liability associated with these warrants, which had an exercise price of $30.00.  The Company recorded a non-cash gain $10 in the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Changes in the exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar are currently immaterial to our operating results. Exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk may increase over time as our business evolves.

On November 22, 2011, the Company completed a $300 strategic investment in NanoVibronix, Inc., a private company that develops medical devices and products that implement its proprietary therapeutic ultrasound technology.  The Company’s investment in NanoVibronix is in the form of a convertible promissory note that bears interest at a rate of 10% per year compounded annually and matures on November 15, 2014.  Principal and accrued interest under the note automatically convert into shares of Series B-1 Participating Convertible Preferred Stock of NanoVibronix upon the earlier to occur of (i) a $3,000 (or larger) equity financing by NanoVibronix or (ii) a sale of NanoVibronix.  In addition, the Company may convert principal and accrued interest under the note into shares of NanoVibronix Series B-1 Participating Convertible Preferred Stock at its election at any time.  In either case, the conversion price is $0.284 per share.

Our investment was intended to precede a possible merger of the two companies.  However, those discussions were terminated by mutual agreement between the parties and NanoVibronix, Inc. continues to operate as a private company. NanoVibronix has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a proposed initial public offering.  If the offering is completed, the Convertible Promissory Note will be converted into common stock of NanoVibronix.  In addition, should NanoVibronix, Inc. become a public company, then the Company’s Chief Executive Officer will become a member of the NanoVibronix, Inc. Board of Directors.
