GTX CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2017
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
During the periods covered by these financial statements, GTX Corp and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “GTX,” “we” or “our”) were engaged in businesses that design, develop and sell various interrelated and complementary products and services in the Personal Location Wearable Technology marketplace. GTX owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Global Trek Xploration (“GTX California”) and LOCiMOBILE, Inc.
Global Trek Xploration designs, develops, manufactures and distributes hardware, software, connectivity services of Global Positioning System (“GPS”) and Bluetooth Low Energy (“BLE”) monitoring and tracking solutions that provide real-time tracking of the whereabouts of people and high valued assets. Utilizing a miniature quad band GPRS transceiver, antenna, circuitry, battery and inductive charging pad our product(s) can be customized and integrated into numerous products and form factors whose location and movement can be monitored in real time over the Internet through our 24x7 tracking portal or on a web enabled cellular telephone. Our core products and services are supported by an extensive IP portfolio of patents, patents pending, registered trademarks, copyrights, URLs and a library of software source code.
LOCiMOBILE, Inc. has been developing Smartphone application (“App”) since 2008. With a suite of mobile applications that turn the iPhone, iPad, Android and other GPS enabled handsets into a tracking device which can be tracked from handset to handset or through our tracking portal or on any connected device with internet access. LOCiMOBILE has launched numerous Apps across multi mobile device operating systems and continues to launch consumer and enterprise apps.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GTX have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and applicable regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations have been included. Our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of GTX Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred net losses of $502,948 and $638,309 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $20,242,367 as of June 30, 2017, and has negative working capital of $1,781,585 as of June 30, 2017. The Company anticipates further losses in the development of its business.
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of debt or equity is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, or its attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. These estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, tangible and intangible long-term asset valuation, warranty and other obligations and commitments. Estimates are updated on an ongoing basis and are evaluated based on historical experience and current circumstances. Changes in facts and circumstances in the future may give rise to changes in these estimates which may cause actual results to differ from current estimates.
Fair Value Estimates
Pursuant to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 820, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, the Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC No. 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. ASC No. 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the asset/liability’s anticipated life.
Level 3—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.
Derivative Instruments
Our debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.
Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instrument and risk-free rates of return, our current Common Stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our Common Stock price over the life of the option.
7 |
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
FASB ASC 220 establishes rules for reporting and displaying comprehensive income (loss) and its components. Comprehensive income (loss) is the sum of net income (loss) as reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) transactions as reported in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit. Comprehensive income (loss) transactions that currently apply to the Company result from unrealized losses on available for sale investments.
Reclassifications
For comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2017. These reclassifications have no impact on net income (loss).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued accounting pronouncements, most of which represent technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries, which are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We do not believe that the adoption of any recently issued accounting standards will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.
3. JOINT VENTURE AND INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES
On June 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Definitive Agreement with Inventergy Innovations, LLC (“Inventergy”), a subsidiary of Inventergy Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVT). The Company partnered with Inventergy to monetize three (3) GTX Patents. Upon signing the Agreement, the Patents were assigned to an Inventergy subsidiary, and Inventergy assigned a 45% interest in the entity to GTX. Inventergy is also obligated to make a sequence of quarterly payments to GTX beginning in January 2017, which payments represent non-refundable advances against future royalty and other payments. Pursuant to a non-exclusive license back to GTX, GTX will still retain all use rights of the 3 patents. During the six month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company has recognized $50,000 as non-refundable advances, of which $25,000 has been paid from Inventergy.
The Company uses the equity method to account for its 45% investment in the Inventergy subsidiary. Under the equity method, the Company recognizes its share of the earnings and losses of the subsidiary as they accrue instead of when they are realized. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s investment in the subsidiary was $0.
In addition to the Definitive Agreement, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Inventergy for a period of eighteen months. The Company was issued 42,500 shares of restricted common stock of INVT valued at $62,479 on the date of grant, of which 1/6th of the stock vests at the close of each calendar quarter and Inventergy agreed to make five monthly payments to GTX totaling $250,000 through December 2016 as compensation. As of June 30, 2017, $20,827 of stock has been recognized as deferred revenues, which represents the non-vested portion of the restricted common stock and $20,826 has been recognized as consulting revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, we owned 42,500 shares of restricted common stock of INVT at a closing price of $0.14, for a value of $5,950.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In order to preserve cash for other working capital needs, various officers and members of management have agreed to accrue, and defer payment of, portions of their salaries since fiscal 2011. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company owed $122,036 and $23,992, respectively, for such accrued wages.
On September 30, 2016, management elected to transfer accrued salaries into long-term convertible promissory notes, due on March 31, 2018, totaling $318,671. On December 31, 2016, management elected to transfer additional accrued salaries into long-term convertible promissory notes, due on March 31, 2018, totaling $110,326. The notes will bear a 10% annual interest rate. Management shall have the right, but not the obligation to convert up to 50% of the amount advanced and accrued interest into shares, warrants or options of common or preferred stock of the Company at $0.01 per share. As of June 30, 2017, the outstanding balance on the convertible promissory notes is $428,997.

Introduction
Unless otherwise noted, the terms “GTX Corp”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the ongoing business operations of GTX Corp and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Global Trek Xploration, and LOCiMOBILE, Inc.
Operations
GTX Corp and its subsidiaries (Global Trek Xploration, Inc. and LOCiMOBILE, Inc.) are engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution and sales of five (5) related products and services in the GPS and BLE wearable technology personal location and wandering assistive technology business. Through a proprietary enterprise (IoT) monitoring platform and licensing subscription business model, the Company offers a complete end to end solution of hardware, middleware, apps, connectivity, licensing and professional services, letting you know where or how someone or something is at the touch of a button, delivering safety, security and peace of mind in real-time.
Overview
Since the start of 2015, the Company has focused on building channels of distribution for its product lines of embedded smart wearable GPS devices, Stand-Alone GPS devices and Digital Apps which all funnel into the GTX Corp IoT monitoring platform. Each product line is sold both direct to consumer (B2C) and business to business (B2B) through a global network of resellers, affiliates, distributors, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, police departments, manufacturers reps and retailers. The Company has been ramping up its product distribution and sales channels and, as of June 30, 2017, the Company had live units in the field and / or paying subscribers in over 35 countries, had 8 regional sales reps in the US, 6 retired and active professional athlete brand ambassadors, over 700 online affiliates, products being sold in 3 retail stores and 13 international distributors. Also, we have been issued a vendor number for reimbursement in 7 U.S. states and 2 countries (Canada and Sweden). We have also applied for other State and Federal reimbursement codes, grants and private insurance reimbursement along with other health and municipal services in several other countries. If granted, the reimbursements would lower the cost of acquiring and owning our tracking products, which could result in an increase in users of our SmartSole and Stand Alone devices. All product lines are sold with a monthly, quarterly or annual subscription service plan or licensing fee’s ranging from $2.00 to $35.00 per month. In addition to product service fees the Company also generates revenues through platform and IP licensing fees.

During the period ending June 30, 2017, we encountered a setback with our first production run of version 1.5 SmartSoles due to a manufacturing issue that affected all of the products in the first production run. As a result, the shipment had to be sent back to the factory in Germany, which delayed deliveries to our distributors and affected our sales. We were able to resolve the issue after a few weeks; however not until after the quarter ended. Hence we shipped 300 units less reducing our product sold revenues for this quarter. The problem is resolved and all of our back orders are expected to be shipped in the quarter ended September 30, 2017. Except for a drop in product revenues during the second quarter, this issue did not cause any major disruption or increase costs in our operations, and is not expected to negatively affect future sales.
On the R&D front, the Company began several new projects and made significant progress on current projects. First being a CDMA version of the SmartSole that is being developed to operate on the Verizon network throughout North America. We are in the final phase of development and pre-production testing both internally and with evaluation units in the field with, sales representatives, customers and potential new customers. The second R&D project is a “SmartSole lite,” which is intended to be available at a lower price, have limited functionality, and be available in children sizes. This “lite” product is being created for lower disposable income markets and for individuals that are not “at risk” due to Alzheimer’s or autism, but rather for more of general population use. Our goal is to have prototypes in the 4th quarter of 2017, and to be ready for launch by early next year. In addition, the Company began working with Energy Harvester to collaborate on the development of delivering on-demand power to charge wearable electronic devices (including our footwear devices) by harnessing energy through human motion, thereby giving consumers, commercial, and military users the ability to charge their mobile devices and other electronic devices and sensors, as they walk. We are also continuing our R&D with sensor technology and predictive analytics and have begun working on bio–metric technology which will monitor gait, activity, weight and heart rate. We have been in discussion with customers, strategic partners, academia and the senior housing and caregiving community all of which have confirmed there is a need for a smart wearable technology to combine location and bio-metrics into one product such as the SmartSole. We have also filed a patent for these combined technologies.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company continued expanding its sales channels internationally and domestically, exploring opportunities and signing up new distributors in Japan, Hong Kong, Chile, Spain and the Middle East and attended several large trade shows in the U.S. and Europe. We hired 2 additional account representatives to manage our reseller programs in the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean.
This quarter we also launched the SoleProtector, a product that allows the GPS SmartSole to be transferable from one person to another hygienically. In addition, the SoleProtectors cover logos or markings making the GPS SmartSoles more stealth and discrete, and adds some comfort and overall protection. All of these features have been requested by many of our customers. As the Company plans to launch more wearable technology footwear, the SoleProtectors are a high margin accessory product extension. We also began shipping our Stand Along 3G GPS, SOS and voice device to our international distributors.
As the trend to use technological innovations to help seniors live longer, more fulfilling lives continues to grow around the world (generally referred to as the Aging 2.0 movement), we continue to look ahead and work with partners that will help us grow into the future. One such partner, George Mason University, completed the first phase of wandering predictive research utilizing the GTX IoT platform and data, and a two-stage spatiotemporal clustering algorithm which correctly predicted a users’ location 87% of the time. This high level of initial success in accurate wandering prediction has enabled George Mason University to file for a much larger phase II grant. The preliminary research will be made available to GTX Corp, which will consider deploying the prediction algorithms into our backend monitoring platform, adding another layer of technology and overall value to our IoT tracking platform and monitoring services. As mass numbers of Baby Booming seniors who need care begin to outnumber those able to help them, the need for research and technology solutions will continue to grow, hence GTX is also exploring developing a data collection only SmartSole, that would be much lower in cost and could be used on wide scale research programs.
On the IP front, Inventergy continues to solicit licensing agreements with an identified list of over 100 companies.

Revenues
Revenues from product sales during Q2 2017 increased by 28% or $16,278 in comparison to Q2 2016, primarily due to a 13% increase in product sales of the SmartSole the Take-Along-Tracker. Net service income in Q2 2017 was consistent with Q2 2016. Revenues from the sale of GPS SmartSoles in Q2 2016 accounted for approximately 34% of total revenues and 50%, when including related recurring fees. In comparison, in Q2 2017 SmartSole sales accounted for approximately 54% of total revenues and 73%, when including related recurring fees. The balance of the revenue for the second quarter of 2017 represented sales of stand-alone GPS devices and IP licensing fees.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold decreased by 39% or $37,058 during Q2 2017 in comparison to Q2 2016. Total gross margin, excluding consulting income, increased from -12% in Q2 2016 to 41% in Q2 2017, which reflects the fact that as SmartSole units are being sold into our distributors in Europe, the resulting increase in activations and recurring fees for these units are not immediately being reflected into the gross margin. As the GPS SmartSoles subsequently sold by our distributors begin to achieve monthly recurring subscription revenue, it is expected that gross margins will increase reflecting the higher margin service subscription revenue.
15 |
Wages and benefits
Wages and benefits during Q2 2017 increased 10% or $13,543 in comparison to Q2 2016. The Company does not anticipate increasing its staffing levels unless both the amount of operating activities and revenues substantially increase.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 100% or $7,724 during Q2 2017 in comparison to Q2 2016, which reflects an increase in sales and marketing efforts to drive revenues.
Professional fees
Professional fees during Q2 2017 increased by 12% or $9,239 in comparison to Q2 2016. Professional fees are expected to increase as we grow our business and expand our products into the wearable technology marketplace both in the U.S. and internationally.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses during Q2 2017 increased by 61% or $34,843 in comparison to Q2 2016, primarily due to increased D&O insurance costs and filing fees.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net increased by 324% or $464,575 from Q2 2016 to Q2 2017 primarily as a result of the non-cash derivative liabilities and the amortization of debt discounts related to debt financings. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $100,182 in derivative liabilities. Other income(expense), net also includes interest expenses related to notes.
Net income (loss)
Net income (loss) increased by 119% or $400,489 from Q2 2016 to Q2 2017 due changes in the Fair Value of non-cash derivative liabilities and from revenues and the associated gross margins generated by the sale of GPS SmartSoles, an increase in revenues per subscriber (RPS) and the IP licensing revenues.

Revenues
Revenues from product sales during Q2 2017 increased by 3% or $4,286 in comparison to Q2 2016, primarily due to increased SmartSole and Take-Along-Tracker sales. Service income, net during Q2 2017 increased 97% or $31,226 due to the increasing subscriber base. Revenues from the sale of GPS SmartSoles in Q2 2016 accounted for approximately 54% of total revenues and 66%, when including related recurring fees, in comparison to Q2 2017 SmartSole sales which accounted for approximately 52% of total revenues and 75%, when including related recurring fees. We also had a 37% increase in international subscribers and 81% increase in international subscription revenues. Subscriber profit margins also increased due to increasing our subscription pricing and lowering our costs through volume and efficiency. The balance of the revenue for the second quarter of 2017 represented sales of stand-alone GPS devices and IP licensing fees.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold decreased by 6% or $8,481 during Q2 2017 in comparison to Q2 2016. Total gross margin, excluding consulting income, increased from 21% in Q2 2016 to 38% in Q2 2017. As the GPS SmartSoles begin to achieve monthly recurring subscription revenue, it is expected that gross margins will increase reflecting the higher margin service subscription revenue.
Wages and benefits
Wages and benefits during Q2 2017 increased by 6% or $17,325 in comparison to Q2 2016. The increase in wages is primarily due to increased production staff to handle the associated increase in sales. The current staff’s abilities to work more efficiently has allowed this expense to remain fairly constant.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 100% or $31,357 during Q2 2017 in comparison to Q2 2016, which reflects an increase in sales and marketing efforts to drive revenues.
Professional fees
Professional fees during Q2 2017 decreased by 11% or $21,925 in comparison to Q2 2016. Professional fees are expected to increase as we grow our business and expand our products into the wearable technology marketplace both in the U.S. and internationally.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses during Q2 2017 increased by 50% or $58,244 in comparison to Q2 2016 , primarily due to increased D&O insurance costs and filing fees.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net increased by 122% or $191,560 from Q2 2016 to Q2 2017 primarily as a result of the non-cash derivative liabilities and the amortization of debt discounts related to debt financings. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $100,182 in derivative liabilities. Other income(expense), net also includes interest expenses related to notes.
Net loss
Net loss decreased by 21% or $135,361 from Q2 2016 to Q2 2017 partly as a result of increased high margin sales, non-cash derivative liabilities and the amortization of debt discounts related to debt financings.
17 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2017, we had $8,731 of cash and cash equivalents, and a working capital deficit of $1,781,585, compared to $95,431 of cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $1,233,909 as of December 31, 2016. A large part of our negative working capital position at June 30, 2017 consisted of $100,182 of derivative liabilities related to unsecured convertible promissory notes and $844,734 related to the principal balance of unsecured convertible promissory notes, net of discount. As further described below, in the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, we have received a total of $225,000 from the sale of unsecured convertible promissory notes.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, our net loss was $502,948, compared to a net loss of $638,309 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $384,500 and $205,089, respectively. Net cash used in operations was higher in Q2 2017 as compared to Q2 2016 primarily due to increase in operating expenses, included but not limited to marketing expenses, G&A and increased inventory.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $312,500 and consisted primarily of proceeds totaling $322,500 received from advances under eight convertible note payable agreements as well as a $10,000 payment on a Convertible Note. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $271,500 and consists of proceeds totaling $294,500 received from advances under a convertible note payable agreement as well as $23,000 in payments on Convertible Notes.
Because revenues from our operations have, to date, been insufficient to fund our working capital needs, we currently rely on the cash we receive from our financing activities to fund our capital expenditures and to support our working capital requirements. The increasing sales of the SmartSole product and related recurring revenues, and the other revenues that we anticipate from other product sales, are expected to enhance our liquidity in 2017, although the amount of such revenues we receive during the remainder of 2017 still is not expected to be sufficient for fund our working capital and other liquidity needs. We cannot guarantee that sales of the smartsole product and related recurring revenues will be sufficient to fund our working capital and other liquidity needs.
We expect that revenues from our SmartSoles product will become our principal on-going source of working capital. However, depending on the success that Inventergy Innovations, LLC has in monetizing the three patents that we have transferred to them, our revenues may be supplemented with licensing or other patent-related revenues. Until such time, if ever, as SmartSoles revenues and/or Inventergy payments can support our working capital requirement, we expect to continue to generate revenues from our other licenses, Track My Work Force subscriptions, international distributors, hardware sales, professional services and new customers in the pipeline. However, the amount of such revenues is unknown and is collectively not expected to be sufficient to fund our working capital needs. For our internal budgeting purposes, we have assumed that such revenues will not be sufficient to fund all of our planned operating and other expenditures during the second half of 2017. In addition, our actual cash expenditures may exceed our planned expenditures, particularly if we invest in the development of improved versions of our existing products and technologies, and if we increase our marketing expenses. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will have to continue to raise additional capital in order to fund our operations in 2017. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain the additional funding we need to continue our operations.
In order to continue funding our working capital needs and our product development costs, during the second quarter of 2017 we entered into 6 separate note and share purchase agreements with 2 independent accredited investors. As a result, we issued convertible notes with a total principal balance of $225,000 for cash proceeds of $225,000.
Going Concern
The licensing agreements, distribution agreements and product sales initiatives we have in place have, to date, not generated substantial revenues. No assurance can be given that our current contractual arrangements and the revenues from our GPS SmartSoles, device sales, subscriptions, software licensing, or our smart phone or tablet Apps will generate significant revenues during the balance of 2017.
In addition to continuing to incur normal operating expenses, we intend to continue our research and development efforts for our various technologies and products, including hardware, software, interface customization, and website development, and we also expect to further develop our sales, marketing and manufacturing programs associated with the commercialization, licensing and sales of our GPS devices and technology, and the commercialization of the LOCiMOBILE® applications for GPS enabled handsets. We currently do not have sufficient capital on hand to fully fund our proposed research and development activities, which lack of product development may negatively affect our future revenues.

As noted above, based on budgeted revenues and expenditures, unless revenues increase significantly, we believe that our existing and projected sources of liquidity will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we will need to raise additional funds in 2017. The sale of additional equity securities will result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders. Sale of debt securities could involve substantial operational and financial covenants that might inhibit our ability to follow our business plan. Any additional funding that we obtain in financing is likely to reduce the percentage ownership of the Company held by our existing security-holders. The amount of this dilution may be substantial based on our current stock price, and could increase if the trading price of our common stock declines at the time of any financing from its current levels. We may also attempt to raise funds through corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, we may be required to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the needed additional funding, we may have to further reduce our current level of operations, or may even have to totally discontinue our operations.
Since inception in 2002, we have generated significant losses. As of June 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $20,242,367, and we currently expect to incur continued losses until our revenue initiatives collectively generate substantial revenues. Please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for more information regarding risks associated with our business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Inflation
We do not believe our business and operations have been materially affected by inflation.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in the section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” under Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information under this Item 3.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017 our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures contained certain weaknesses, but were effective for our size company. The weaknesses in disclosure control were the result of weaknesses in the design of internal controls and reporting, including: (i) lack of segregation of incompatible duties; and (ii) inadequate staffing to fill all roles. These weaknesses are due to the size of our current operations and our lack of working capital to hire additional staff. Although management will periodically re-evaluate all operational and financial procedures, at this point it considers that the risk associated with such lack of segregation of duties and the potential benefits of adding employees to segregate such duties are not cost justified. We intend to hire additional accounting personnel to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow.
