As previously reported, due to the financial condition of Echo Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company was unable to make payment on $1,787,000 of the 10% senior secured convertible notes of the Company due on January 28, 2017 (the “January Notes”). An additional $3,361,620 in principal amount of 10% senior secured convertible notes of the Company matures on May 3, 2017 (the “May Notes” and together with the January Notes, the “Notes”). The Company has been engaged in prolonged discussions to obtain new financing and obtain appropriate forbearance and/or waivers from the investors holding Notes. To date, the Company has been unsuccessful in raising financing and, while the Investors have not taken any action against the Company, the Company has not yet received any formal forbearance and/or waiver from the Investors. The Company has been forced to reduce its staff down to one employee, Alan Schoenbart, the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, who has been working without pay. Further, the Company has been unable to pay rent at its corporate and research facilities, which will more than likely result shortly in eviction proceedings. Additionally, the Company’s patents are at risk. While the Company continues to pursue financing, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all, which may result in foreclosure upon the assets of the Company by the Investors.
