ACCELERA INNOVATIONS, INC. - 10-Q - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Edgar Glimpses Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Accelera Innovations, Inc. ("we", "our", "us" "Accelera" or the "Company"), a
Delaware corporation, is a healthcare service company which will initially focus
on its technology assets that were licensed to the Company by our majority
shareholder Synergistic Holdings, LLC ("Licensor"), a privately-held company
organized under the laws of Illinois to further develop, pursuant to which the
Company was granted a thirty (30) year exclusive, non-transferrable worldwide
license for proprietary Internet-based, software ("Accelera Technology") that is
intended to provide interoperable technology improving the quality of care while
reducing the cost .
Results of Operations
For the three months ending September 30, 2012, the Company had no revenues and
incurred general and administrative expenses of $749,976.
For the period from inception (April 29, 2008) through September 30, 2012, the
Company had no activities that produced revenues from operations and had a net
loss of $(4,539,415), mostly due to employee stock based compensation expenses,
due to legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees incurred in
relation to the formation of the Company and the filing of the Company's
Registration Statement on Form 10 filed in August 2008, filling Form S-1 with
the SEC in May of 2012 and other related compliance matters.
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, which was the third quarter of
our fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, we had no revenue and incurred general
and administrative expenses of $749,976. Our net loss was $749,976, due to the
general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the
third quarter of fiscal 2013 consisted of $749,976 for the estimated value of
stock-based compensation to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operations
Officer and Chief Strategic Officer, and $0 for travel and administrative
support..
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had no revenue and incurred
general and administrative expenses of $4,363,334. Our net loss was $4,363,334,
due to general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 consisted of $4,249,976 for the
estimated fair value of stock-based compensation and $113,358 for travel and
administrative support, which mostly consisted of document preparation and EDGAR
filing with the SEC.
The estimated value of stock based compensation for our executive officers was
based on the employment agreements with John F. Wallen, our Chief Executive
Officer, James R. Millikan, our Chief Financial Officer, and Cynthia Boerum, our
Chief Strategic Officer, which provide for 1,750,000, 1,000,000 and 1,000,000
stock options, respectively. The stock option shall vest with respect to 20% of
the total number of shares which are the subject of the option immediately after
the effective date of the agreement April 26, 2012, thereafter the remaining
shares granted under the option shall vest ratably on a monthly basis at the end
of each month over a 48-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of a closing of a Change of Control transaction, all options from this
agreement and others shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable.
Options have been valued using the Black-Scholes Model, which was not materially
different than the shares current valuation, for a total compensation value to
be recognized over the vesting term of the agreement, in the amount of
$15,000,000. The stock based compensation expense is an estimate and significant
judgment was involved in attempting to determine the value of the company,
Accelera Innovations, Inc., for which the options are exercisable. The actual
value of our common stock may turn out to be much higher or lower than estimated
amount, due to the lack of any reliable data on the Company's current valuation.
Our common stock has never traded publicly, and no stock has traded in private
markets either, except for privately negotiated sales to current investor, the
founder of the company and the founder of the technology from which the company
subsequently licensed rights. The Company does not have any offers for purchase
of its common stock in any stage, and no stock is registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission; therefore if any stock were to be sold the Company
would need to do so under an effective registration statement or under an
applicable exemption from registration. With the limited data points available
to the Company and its board of directors regarding the Company's valuation, we
have estimated the value of common stock at $4 per share for financial reporting
purposes. This amount was determined based on the minimum stock price required
for listing on any Nasdaq market, and it closely approximates a $85 million
valuation for the entire Company (considered "micro-cap" by most equity
analysts), which we do not believe unreasonable for a development stage company
with product ready for market. Each $1 change in estimated per-share value of
our common stock would change the estimated stock-based compensation expense as
reported for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 by approximately
$814,931, so that a $3 estimated value for Company's common stock ($1 less per
share) would result in lower general and administrative expenses and a higher
estimated value for the Company's common stock would higher general and
administrative expenses. Due to the lower exercise price offered to our
executive offers in their employment contracts ($0.0001 per share, since they
are currently not receiving any cash compensation) as compared to the estimated
value for financial reporting purposes, the stock price volatility, stock option
term and interest rate assumptions do not have a significant impact on the
estimated value of the options as they would if the options were granted at
market price. As noted above, the actual value of our common stock may turn out
to be much higher or lower than the amount estimated for financial reporting
purposes, due to the current lack of any reliable data on the Company's current
valuation.
13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General and administrative expenses were higher in the fiscal periods ended on
September 30, 2012 compared to the periods ended September 30, 2011 (fiscal
2011) because:
· We were no longer a shell company for the fiscal 2012 periods,
· We incurred travel costs as we seek to develop our products and
secure funding for further development and commercialization,
· We incurred higher costs to prepare and file our current and
periodic reports with the SEC in the fiscal 2012 periods, and
· We incurred much higher costs for stock based compensation, as
noted above, compared to no stock-based compensation in the
fiscal 2011 period.
To date, our general and administrative expenditures, which in most other cases
are paid in cash include legal fees, accounting fees, costs associated with SEC
filings and preparation of documents.
We expect that, if we are successful in securing additional capital, future
general and administrative expenses will increase significantly as compared to
the periods ended September 30, 2012. In addition, we expect to incur research
and development expenses as we seek to advance our product candidates
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had assets equal to $200 and had current
liabilities of $0 as of September 30, 2012.

Patient Portal.
Accelera, intends to provide its cloud based healthcare services through monthly
or yearly subscription agreements ("software-as-a-service" also known as "SaaS")
to the healthcare industry. The Company intends on positioning itself as a
technology and service solution for providers and payers such as the hospitals,
medical offices, medical insurance companies, Accountable Care Organizations,
Patient Centered Medical Homes, and Provider Service Networks who are seeking to
create an interoperable technology platform that is patient-centric.
The coordinated care would begin with the office visit using the Accelera
Practice Management and Electronic Medical Record applications. The provider may
also access disparate patient consults and share the patient's record using the
Accelera Health Information Exchange and Portal. When the patient is admitted to
the hospital setting, all of the functions are intended tobe automated using the
Accelera Hospital Information System. The physician would continue to have full
access to the patient's information to receive accurate and efficient
information. If the primary care physician is part of an Accountable Care
Organization, then those reports required by Center for Medicare and Medicaid
will be created and distributed using the Accelera Accountable Care Organization
application.
The Accelera Patient Management Record is designed to identify patients with
preventable, yet escalating associated costs, then directs intense online
self-management services to improve the quality-of-life for the patient and
deliver more effective health information. Patients would be electronically
triaged using the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) rule-set for disease
management, as well as proprietary evidence-based disease management rules.
These rules are based on clinical standards from major health organizations..
This is intended to allow providers, as well as patients, to monitor care
through targeted interventions. The technology platform is intended to allow
healthcare providers to anticipate patient care needs, motivate patient
compliance, activate evidence-based standards of care, and improve efficiency.
The Accelera Analytic product is designed for potential customers that include
healthcare payers, provider organizations, government entities worldwide, and
employer groups. Accelera products are designed to identify, analyze, and
minimize healthcare risk by data mining and predictive analysis while containing
costs and improving the quality of care. Accelera also intends to develop
modeling software to predict medical costs and help improve the financing,
organization, and delivery of health services.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Accelera Security solution is designed to reduce or stop the security breach
at the point of care, by auditing the user and encasing the applications in a
discrete shell. Without proper access, the application will separate the data
elements from each other, patient name will not be associated with demographic
or clinical information. Patient data is split into two parts, the patient
identifier is separated from the clinic/medical data and both are encrypted. An
encrypted data key unlocks the dual encryption bringing the information together
and is intended to increase patients' confidence in the information technology
utilized.
The Accelera Solution is designed to improve patient care, reduce costs,
eliminate redundant data entry, improve operational efficiency, but most
importantly, bring together long term needs of the caregivers and is intended to
satisfy the business requirements of the healthcare enterprise.
The intended benefits of our solutions for potential customers include:
· Lowers administration costs through a less invasive call-back system - email
alerts, text messages, online alerts
· A benefit of batch health care analytics is the use of "predictive modeling
across multiple clinical conditions. This process is designed to identify
undiagnosed conditions for patients within an insurer's patient population, or
suggest interventions to prevent conditions from developing.
· Reducing occurrences and cost related to a healthcare data breaches.
· Reducing the hardware environment and cost by using our cloud technology.
· Increased Mobility.
· Improving patient care and safety.
· Helping healthcare organizations maintain their market positions and meet their
financial commitments.
(b) Management's Discussion, Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The Company has conducted minimal operations since inception. No revenue has
been generated by the Company from April 29, 2008 (Inception) to September 30,
2012. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary
financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal
business operations when they come due. Management's plan includes obtaining
additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however
there is no assurance of additional funding being available. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might arise as a result of this uncertainty.
In order to meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from the
primary offering. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise enough
money through the primary offering to stay in business. Whatever money we do
raise, will be applied first to costs of this offering and then to deploy the
Company's licensed technology. If we do not raise all of the money we need from
the primary offering, we will have to find alternative sources, such as a second
public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officer or
director or others. Our director is unwilling to make any commitment to loan us
any money at this time. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements
to raise additional cash, other than through the primary offering. If we need
additional cash and can't raise it we will either have to suspend operations
until we do raise the cash, or cease business entirely.
17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our current plans, predicated on raising $35,000,000 from the sale of 5,000,000
shares of common stock in this offering and will allow the Company to meet the
milestones and requirements of its Business Plan and avoid discontinuation of
the license. Funding would be required for staffing, marketing, public relations
and the necessary research precedent to expanding the scope of its offering to
include the global market. The Company intends to approach Hedge Funds, Venture
Capital Groups, Private Investment Groups and other Institutional Investment
Groups in its efforts to achieve future funding. It is estimated that $9,874,940
will be used for management, sales and marketing, $17,680,122 will be used for
infrastructure and software fees and an estimated $4,417,978 will be spent on
legal, accounting, rent and other payables leaving $3,026,960 in reserve for
increased working capital.
We expect to use the proceeds from this offering for infrastructure and
software, sales and marketing, employee compensation, legal fees, accounting
fees, rent and other payables to deploy our technology. The Company's technology
platform is fully functional in its current state and is anticipated to be
marketed into metropolitan markets with an estimated expenditure of
approximately $16 million through December 31, 2012, and approximately $19
million through December 31, 2013 for general corporate purposes, for which
proceeds we have an estimated plan. In detail, over the first twelve months
after financing it is estimated that the Company will utilize an estimated $24
million of this offering for the following milestones: Infrastructure; Transfer
our licensed software technology from internal Company servers to a data center
facility with redundant backup systems, it is estimated this will take three
months at an estimated cost of $3 million and an estimated $250,000 per month
thereafter for expansion and service fees totaling $5.2 million over the first
twelve months from financing. Software Fees: Under our Licensing Agreement with
Synergistic Holdings LLC, the Company is to pay $5 million on July 13, 2012 that
was verbally extended by Licensor to October 13, 2012 and $7.5 on April 13 2013
for a total of $12.5 million in licensing fees over the next twelve months.
Sales and Marketing: The Company intends to provide its cloud based healthcare
services through monthly or yearly subscription agreements
("Software-as-a-Service" also known as "SaaS") to the healthcare industry. It is
estimated that the Company will grow from the current three full time employees
marketing the product to twenty-three within the next six months including
management, advertising, tradeshows and travel expenses at an estimated cost of
2.2 million and growing to fifty-seven people including management and all sales
and marketing activity within the next twelve months totaling an estimated cost
of $5.3 million. Legal fees, Accounting fees, Rent and other payables: The
Company estimates these fee to be an estimated $950,000 over the next twelve
months. The above mentioned expenditures meet the Company's requirement under
the Licensing Agreement to advance the licensed technology as agreed.
It's estimated that if the Company cannot accomplish the milestones described
above due to lack of financing the Company's product offering will be delayed.
The minimum amount of capital the Company needs to raise over the next twelve
months is $1 million to continue operations. There is no guarantee that the
Company will be able to raise this or any amount of additional capital and a
failure to do so would have a significant adverse effect on the Company's
ability, or would cause significant delays in its ability to address the market
for content delivery and achieve its Business Plan. Neither the Company nor any
of its advisors or consultants has significant experience in raising funds
similar to the $35,000,000 estimated to be required.
Our business may not materialize in the event we are unable to execute on our
plan described in this prospectus. The events or circumstances that may prevent
the accomplishment of our business objectives, include, without limitation, (i)
the fact that, if we do not raise a minimum of US $5,000,000 of additional
funding by July 13, 2012 that was verbally extended by Licensor to October 13,
2012, an additional $7,500,000 by April 13, 2013, an additional $10,000,000
April 13, 2014 and an additional $7,500,000 by April 13, 2015 equaling the
minimum funding requirement of $30,000,000 for the deployment of its licensed
technology over the next three years we will lose the rights to the licensed
technology, (ii) If physicians and hospitals do not accept our products and
services, or delay in deciding whether to purchase our products and services.
(iii) If we are forced to reduce our prices, our business, financial condition
and results of operations could suffer, (iv) we are subject to a number of
existing laws, regulations and industry initiatives, non-compliance with certain
of which could materially adversely affect our operations, (v) the Company's
need for and ability to obtain additional financing, (vii) the possibility that
the Company may not be able to secure approvals and other governmental
clearances necessary to carry out the Company's deployment and development
plans, and (viii) the exercise of voting control the Company's officers and
directors collectively hold of the Company's voting securities.
The principal purposes of this offering are to obtain additional capital, to
create a public market for our common stock, facilitate future access to public
equity markets, increase awareness of our company among potential customers,
enter into metropolitan markets, broaden our scope of care, and create our
competitive position. We believe that the net proceeds from this offering, our
existing cash resources and interest on these funds will be sufficient to meet
our projected operating requirements.
Pending use as described above and any remaining net proceeds, we plan to invest
the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation instruments, including
short-term, interest bearing obligations, investment grade instruments,
certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the United
States. The goal with respect to the investment of these net proceeds is capital
preservation and liquidity so that such funds are readily available to fund the
development and expansion of our business.
We have limited cash reserves which as of September 30, 2012, totaled $200.
Until we actually commence our deployment program, our monthly cash requirements
are minimal.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is
material to investors.
