Company Overview
Arrayit began as a division of TeleChem International, Inc. in 1996 with the
advent of Dr. Mark Schena's visionary introduction of microarrays as genetic
research tools. Arrayit was able to generate a large customer base in a
relatively short time frame by capitalizing on increased Internet access and
Arrayit's online business model. Genetic research advanced at a dramatic pace in
the 1990s as more sophisticated tools became commercially available. Microarray
technology, including printing, detection and scanning instrumentation, was a
timely addition to the geneticist's repertoire of advanced tools, including
automated sequencing, PCR, and expanded computing capability. The sequencing of
the genomes of various simple organisms and later, sequencing of the more
complex human genome, led to yet another revolution in genetic discovery:
research in gene function and gene variation with regard to disease states and
diagnostics. Microarray tools, having undergone FDA-validation in the 2000s,
remain an important component of the new genomics and proteomics industry upon
which Arrayit will continue to capitalize. The Company believes that
non-invasive, pre-symptomatic diagnostic tests from a single droplet of blood
for cancer (e.g. ovarian cancer), neurodegenerative disease (e.g. Parkinson's
Disease), and other clinical disorders, as well as personalized, companion
diagnostic tests for specific medications, food allergies, and
other factors impacting human health and lifestyle represent a large growth opportunity in the consumer markets.
Arrayit Products and Services
In the late 1990's, Arrayit focused on developing microarray glass substrate slides, kits and reagents using an open platform strategy in order to establish a market niche. Arrayit decided to make products that integrate with components from other vendors, enabling research laboratories to utilize microarray products from multiple vendors, in contrast to the closed platform format of the earliest competitors. Research customers especially enjoy the flexibility and continue to buy Arrayit's products. Arrayit's patented printing technology has become an industry standard for microarray manufacturing, allowing customers to manufacture microarrays of all types including DNA, protein, patient DNA, antibody, antigen, peptide, carbohydrate, and many others. Arrayit's revenues from the printing patent and its own family of printing instrumentation illustrate the Company's success at meeting the unmet needs of the microarray industry. Arrayit now sells both small-scale microarray manufacturing robots (SpotBot®) and high throughput versions (NanoPrint™). The SpotBot® and NanoPrint product lines have been further advanced to accommodate more stringent requirements in manufacturing protein microarrays. Arrayit also offers personal microarray scanners (SpotLight™) as well as high-end scanning instruments (InnoScan®). As the industry grows, Arrayit is expanding its product line to include fully integrated platforms such as the company's Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze Variation Identification Platform™ (VIP) genotyping systems that include cleanroom and laboratory versions. Arrayit is also expanding its pre-printed microarray content to enhance the flagship H25K Whole Human Genome Microarray, which is a premium product for biomarker discovery and drug testing. Additional pre-printed microarrays include H25K subsets as well as a diversity of protein microarrays with specific content, such as PlasmaScan Antibody Microarrays.
Arrayit is expanding its Microarray Services capabilities as well, in connection with increased demand for microarrays of all kinds, and a trend toward outsourcing high end technical manufacturing. With the investment proposed in its business plan, Arrayit will create a variety of microarray based diagnostic tests using Arrayit's patented VIP Healthcare technology and related proprietary approaches. As microarrays move into clinical diagnostics and genetic screening applications, the Company also expects to earn license and royalty fees in these areas.
Arrayit has been a microarray technology market driver for more than a decade.

Effective Thursday, March 19, 2009, the final steps of the business combination with Integrated Media Holdings, Inc (IMHI) were completed and the Company's common stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Boards as "ARYC". In addition, the Company changed its name to "Arrayit Corporation", was reincorporated to Nevada from Delaware, and reverse-split its common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred stock in the ratio of one for thirty shares. The reverse split was only applicable to the Company's Class "A" Preferred shares and its Common Shares. The Class "C" Preferred Shares were not affected by the reverse split. The reverse split had no effect upon the convertible debt which fixed the amount of shares to be issued at 12,478,357 both pre and post split. As the March 19, 2009, Directors Resolution did not change the authorized share capital of the Company, the authorized number of Common Shares was reduced from 100,000,000 to 3,333,333. The Directors approved the reverse split to create a more orderly market for the trading of its Common Shares on the OTC BB.
On August 31, 2009, a majority of the stockholders provided written consent in lieu of a meeting to approve an increase in the authorized common shares of the Company from 3,333,333 to 480,000,000 and an increase in the authorized preferred shares of the Company from 166,667 to 20,000,000. A Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company was filed on December 18, 2009. The forgoing was published in form DEF 14-C on November 18, 2009.
The effects of the Reverse Stock Split have been reflected retroactively in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for all periods presented.
On June 2, 2009, we incorporated Arrayit Diagnostics, Inc. (Diagnostics) to develop medical tests and through its partially owned subsidiaries, market these tests to the medical community, incorporating the technology and equipment developed by Arrayit Corporation. On June 16, 2009, Diagnostics incorporated Arrayit Diagnostics (Ovarian), Inc. to market a test for Ovarian Cancer, incorporating the technology and equipment developed by Arrayit Corporation, and on October 15, 2009, Diagnostics incorporated Arrayit Diagnostics (Parkinson), Inc. (Parkinson) to market a test for Parkinson's Disease, incorporating our technology and equipment.
On May 23, 2011, Arrayit Diagnostics, Inc. acquired the outstanding 20% non-controlling interest in Arrayit Diagnostics (Ovarian), Inc., recognizing no gain or loss on the transaction. Arrayit Diagnostics (Ovarian), Inc. was then collapsed into Arrayit Diagnostics, Inc.
Also on May 23, 2011, Arrayit Diagnostics, Inc. acquired the outstanding 20% non-controlling interest in Arrayit Diagnostics (Parkinson), Inc., also recognizing no gain or loss on the transaction, and distributed the now 100% owned subsidiary directly to Arrayit Corporation. As part of the exchange, Parkinson's name was changed to Arrayit Scientific Solutions, Inc.
On December 12, 2011, Arrayit Corporation signed an Agreement and Plan of Distribution with its subsidiary, Arrayit Diagnostics, Inc., whereby 19,350,000 shares of common stock of Arrayit Diagnostics, Inc. (80% of the total outstanding) owned by Arrayit Corporation will be distributed ratably to the shareholders of Arrayit Corporation on the record date which will be upon successful completion of the Form S-1 registration statement by Arrayit Diagnostics, Inc.
Arrayit has a December 31 year end.
Arrayit's principal office is in Sunnyvale, California. Arrayit presently has nine employees.
The Microarray Industry
The microarray industry is comprised of four areas: basic research into the function of genes in plants and animals, research on the human genome, development of diagnostics for personalized medicine, and diagnostic screening tools for drug development programs that identify toxicity patterns in patient populations.
The basic research segment constitutes a significant portion of the industry
that has grown dramatically since first introduced in the mid-nineties by
Arrayit's Dr. Mark Schena. Arrayit currently sells the majority of its products
to this segment of the industry. The human genetic research segment constitutes
the fastest growing segment, making up the current balance of Arrayit's sales.
However, the impact of diagnostics in personalized medicine is expected to be
far greater than the above, because of its impact on the very costly healthcare
industry. Better patient outcome and lower healthcare cost to medical and
insurance providers will provide opportunities in a vast number of disease
states as the industry grows. Diagnostic tests will become a part of every
individual patient's care plan across the costly spectrum of disease states,
including cardiovascular, oncology, neurology, and other genetic diseases that
affect large numbers of the population.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes all cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Arrayit reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable. Arrayit evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over the estimated remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred based on expected cash flows, such loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost determined on the basis of FIFO.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss are transferred to customers upon delivery based on terms of sale and collectability is reasonably assured.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling costs paid to vendors are recorded as cost of sales.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets of all financial instruments approximates their fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments or comparable interest rates of similar instruments.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company records an allowance for estimated losses on customer accounts. The allowance is increased by a provision for bad debts, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
Patent Costs
Costs incurred with registering and defending patent technology are charged to expense as incurred.
Income Taxes
Prior to February 21, 2008, the financial statements of TeleChem did not include a provision for Income Taxes, because the taxable income of TeleChem was included in the Income Tax Returns of the Stockholders under the Internal Revenue Service "S" Corporation elections.
Upon completion of the February 21, 2008 transaction with IMHI, TeleChem ceased to be treated as an "S" Corporation for Income Tax purposes. Effective February 21, 2008, Arrayit Corporation became a Nevada C Corporation.
Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are not recognized unless it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized in future years.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Operating Results -Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
Gross revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $568,275 and $977,267, respectively, representing a 58% decrease in gross revenues for the quarter.
The cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to
$352,323 and $552,552, respectively, resulting in gross profit for the three
months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 of $215,952 and $424,715, respectively.
The Company's cost of sales is dependent upon product mix. During the first
quarter of 2012, the gross margin was 38% versus 44% for the first quarter of
2011. The Company sold more entry level microarray printers in the first
quarter of 2012, which have a slightly lower gross margin percentage than the
higher end microarray platforms that sold in the quarter ended December 31,
2011.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $344,651 and $368,399, respectively. The decrease of $23,748 is attributable to a reduction in professional fees and interest costs, offset by increases in consulting fees, liability insurance and travel expenses.
Net loss from operations was $198,979 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with a net loss from operations of $17,561 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in loss is a result of lower revenues and lower gross profits, which were not sufficient to cover expenses.
Legal expenses associated with the Pediatrix case accounted for most of the legal expenses of $24,727 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and legal expenses of $15,391 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Interest expense was $42,403 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $47,431 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The interest costs for 2012 and 2011 include the amortized cost of debt arrangement fees and warrants issued in connection with financing. The decrease in interest costs was the result of negotiating lower interest rates on past due balances with trade creditors.
Net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in our Arrayit Diagnostics, Inc. subsidiary amounted to $6,821 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $12,666 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The reduction is due to the spin-off of Arrayit Diagnostics, Inc. On December 12, 2011, Arrayit Corporation signed an Agreement and Plan of Distribution with its subsidiary, Arrayit Diagnostics, Inc., whereby 19,350,000 shares of common stock of Arrayit Diagnostics (78.18% of the total outstanding) owned by Arrayit Corporation will be distributed ratably to the shareholders of Arrayit Corporation on the record date which will be upon successful completion of the Form S-1 registration statement by Arrayit Diagnostics, Inc.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows provided by operations was $60,822 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, we had had a working capital deficiency of $8,202,386 and an accumulated deficit of $24,736,881. The working capital deficiency, in addition to amounts payable in the normal course of business, is primarily attributable to legal expenses, deferred compensation, and judgement interest.
We currently have no commitments, understandings or arrangements for any additional working capital. If we are unable to secure additional financing to cover our operating losses until breakeven operations can be achieved we may not be able to continue as a going concern. We are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that have a material impact upon our short-term or long-term liquidity.
We estimate that we may require as much as approximately $1,200,000 over the next twelve (12) months to meet our expenses and to continue to prefect our proprietary microarray technology. We may require additional funds over the next eighteen (18) months to assist in realizing our business objectives. The amount of timing of additional funds required will be dependent on a variety of factors and cannot be determined at this time. The Company has been successful in paying its operating costs and funding its development from operations supplemented by short term borrowings form family members and third parties. We cannot be certain that we will be able to raise any additional capital to fund our ongoing operations.
Even if we cannot raise additional capital, we believe that we will be able to continue operations for the next 12 months, based on the funding currently provided and revenues that we anticipate generating in the near future. Our investors should assume that any additional funding may cause substantial dilution to current stockholders. In addition, we may not be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms, if at all.
Source of Liquidity
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company relied upon extended terms from its creditors to finance its loss from operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
This document contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements.
