Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Principal Business Activities

Nxt-ID, Inc. (“Nxt-ID” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 8, 2012. Nxt-ID is a security technology company providing security for finance, assets and healthcare. The Company’s innovative MobileBio® solution mitigates risks associated with mobile computing, m-commerce and smart OS-enabled devices. With extensive experience in biometric identity verification, security, privacy, encryption and data protection, payments, miniaturization and sensor technologies, the Company partners with companies to provide solutions for modern payment and the “Internet of Things” applications. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LogicMark, LLC (“LogicMark”), manufactures and distributes non-monitored and monitored personal emergency response systems sold through the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, healthcare durable medical equipment dealers and distributors and monitored security dealers and distributors.

The Company operates its business in one segment — hardware and software security systems and applications. The Company evaluates the performance of its business on, among other things, profit and loss from operations before interest, headquarters’ expense allocations, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes and amortization related to certain intangible assets.

On July 25, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of LogicMark, LLC (“LogicMark”) pursuant to an Interest Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, LogicMark and the holders of all of the membership interests of LogicMark (the “LogicMark Sellers”), dated May 17, 2016. The Company may be required to pay the LogicMark Sellers earn-out payments of (i) up to $1,500,000 for calendar year 2016 and (ii) up to $5,000,000 for calendar year 2017 if LogicMark meets certain gross profit targets set forth in the Interest Purchase Agreement. The LogicMark Note originally was to mature on September 23, 2016 but was extended to April 15, 2017. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating with the LogicMark Sellers to extend the due date on both the earn-out payment related to 2016 and the installment payment and accrued interest related to the LogicMark Note. Such amounts aggregate $1,500,000 and $813,635, respectively, and have been included as a component of current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2017, and for the three months then ended have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017, or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. However, it does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on April 14, 2017.

Note 2 – Reverse Stock Split

On September 1, 2016, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved a resolution to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and to authorize the Company to effect a reverse split of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10 (the “Reverse Split”). On September 9, 2016, the Company effected the Reverse Split. Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Split, every 10 shares of outstanding common stock decreased to one share of common stock. Throughout this report, the Reverse Split was retroactively applied to all periods presented.

Note 3 – Liquidity And Management Plans

The Company is an emerging growth entity and recorded an operating profit of $1,066,902 and a net loss of $730,215 during the three months ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,391,950 and stockholders’ equity of $2,896,650. Given the Company’s cash position at March 31, 2017 and its projected cash flow from operations over the next twelve months, the Company believes that it will have sufficient capital to sustain operations over the next twelve months following the date of this report. In order to execute the Company’s long-term strategic plan to develop and commercialize its core products, fulfill its product development commitments and fund its obligations as they come due, the Company may need to raise additional funds, through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing, or generate sufficient revenue to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain of its operational activities.

Note 4 – Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates in the financial statements

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s management evaluates these significant estimates and assumptions included those related to the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, stock based compensation, derivative instruments, income taxes, accounts receivable and inventories, and other matters that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nxt-ID and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 3D-ID and LogicMark. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized revenue of $2,708,036 from World Ventures Holdings, LLC (“WVH”), a related party and the Company’s largest stockholder. At March 31, 2017, the Company’s accounts receivable balance included $1,593,500 due from WVH.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability of the sale is reasonably assured.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated at net realizable value. The Company regularly reviews accounts receivable balances and adjusts the receivable reserves as necessary whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016.

Inventory

The Company performs regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and evaluates the realizable value of its inventories. The Company adjusts the carrying value of the inventory as necessary with estimated valuation reserves for excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory by comparing the individual inventory parts to forecasted product demand or production requirements. As of March 31, 2017 inventory was comprised of $3,909,176 in raw materials and $1,311,605 in finished goods on hand. Inventory at December 31, 2016 was comprised of $3,797,499 in raw materials and $1,544,001 in finished goods on hand. The Company is required to prepay for raw materials with certain vendors until credit terms can be established. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company had prepaid inventory of $1,801,816 and $1,089,770, respectively. These prepayments were made primarily for raw materials inventory and prepaid inventory is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 4 – Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Goodwill

The Company’s goodwill relates to the acquisition of LogicMark. The Company will begin testing goodwill for impairment annually in the third quarter of each year using data as of August 1 of that year. Authoritative accounting guidance allows the Company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the more detailed two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company performs the quantitative test if its qualitative assessment determined it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test for any reporting units or assets. The quantitative goodwill impairment test, if necessary, is a two-step process. The first step is to identify the existence of a potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit (the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is calculated using a discounted cash flow model) with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and performance of the second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss to be recorded, if any. The second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined using the same approach as employed when determining the amount of goodwill that would be recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.

Other Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets are all related to the acquisition of LogicMark and are included in other intangible assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016.

At March 31, 2017, the other intangible assets are comprised of patents of $3,844,707; trademarks of $1,214,498; and customer relationships of $3,038,675. At December 31, 2016, the other intangible assets are comprised of patents of $3,936,612; trademarks of $1,230,002; and customer relationships of $3,119,111. The Company will continue amortizing these intangible assets using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives which for the patents, trademarks and customer relationships are 11 years; 20 years; and 10 years, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had amortization expense of $187,845 related to the intangible assets.

As of March 31, 2017, amortization expense estimated for the remainder of fiscal 2017 is approximately $574,000 and for each of the next five fiscal years, 2018 through 2022 the amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $762,000 per year.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests or becomes non-forfeitable. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period or as earned. The Company generally issues new shares of common stock to satisfy conversion and warrant exercises.

Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of diluted common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities of 1,749,805 realizable from the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 7), 575,000 from the convertible exchange notes and from the exercise of 1,829,049 warrants as of March 31, 2017 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2016, potentially dilutive securities from the conversion of convertible notes of $838,171 and related accrued interest and from the exercise of warrants into 756,549 shares of Common Stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU 2016-09 will affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public entities. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 5 – Acquisition Of Logicmark LLC

On July 25, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of LogicMark. The Company determined that as of July 25, 2016, it was more likely than not that the gross profit targets as it relates to the contingent considerations would be achieved and any fair value adjustment of the earn-out was due to time value of the payout.

On July 25, 2016, and in order to fund part of the proceeds of the acquisition of LogicMark, the Company and a group of lenders, including ExWorks Capital Fund I, L.P. as agent for the lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), whereby the Lenders extended a revolving loan (the “Revolving Loan”) to the Company in the principal amount of $15,000,000 (the “Debt Financing”). The Company incurred $1,357,356 in deferred debt issue costs related to the revolving loan. At March 31, 2017 the unamortized balance of those deferred debt issue costs was $428,316. The maturity date of the Revolving Loan is July 25, 2017, and the Revolving Loan bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum.

The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, including an EBITDA requirement and a fixed change ratio, as defined in the agreement. As of March 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

The Company has the ability to extend the Revolving Loan for two additional years at its sole discretion with no subjective acceleration by the lender, provided the Company is not in default on the loan. The Company intends to exercise the option to extend the maturity date and accordingly, the Company has classified the Revolving Loan as a non-current liability as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

On September 23, 2016, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with LogicMark Investment Partners, LLC (the “Lender”) in connection with the LogicMark Note originally issued on July 22, 2016 in the amount of $2,500,000 which expired on September 22, 2016. The Company formally requested that the Lender extend the LogicMark Note on September 20, 2016. On September 23, 2016, the LogicMark Note was extended pursuant to an amendment.

Under the terms of the forbearance agreement, the Lender agreed to extend the LogicMark Note and the Company agreed to pay to the Lender in immediately available funds: (i) $250,000 on September 23, 2016; (ii) $100,000 on October 24, 2016; and (iii) $1,150,000, plus all accrued and unpaid interest due under the LogicMark Note on October 31, 2016. The Company also agreed to reduce the Escrow Amount (as defined in the Interest Purchase Agreement) by a total of $500,000, and to make certain other changes to the definition of “Escrow Amount” in the Purchase Agreement. The Company also agreed to make certain representations and warranties in respect of the Lender’s forbearance. The LogicMark Note originally was to mature on September 23, 2016 but was extended to April 15, 2017. The Company is currently in the process of securing funds to settle the remaining balance owed on the LogicMark Note.

Overview

We were incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 8, 2012. Nxt-ID is an emerging technology company engaged in the development of proprietary products, services and solutions for security that serve multiple end markets, including Security, Healthcare, Finance and Internet of Things (“IoT”).

On June 25, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in 3D-ID LLC (“3D-ID”), a limited liability company formed in Florida in February 2011 and owned by the Company’s founders. By acquiring 3D-ID, the Company gained the rights to a portfolio of patented technology in the field of three-dimensional facial recognition and imaging including 3D facial recognition products for access control, law enforcement and travel and immigration. 3D-ID was an early stage company engaged in the design, research and development, integration, analysis, modeling, system networking, sales and support of intelligent surveillance, three-dimensional facial recognition and three-dimensional imaging devices and systems primarily for identification and access control in the security industries. Since the Company’s acquisition of 3D-ID was a transaction between entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”, Nxt-ID recognized the net assets of 3D-ID at their carrying amounts in the accounts of Nxt-ID on the date that 3D-ID was organized, February 14, 2011.

On July 25, 2016, we completed the acquisition of LogicMark, LLC (“LogicMark”) pursuant to an Interest Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, LogicMark and the holders of all of the membership interests of LogicMark (the “LogicMark Sellers”), dated May 17, 2016 (the “Interest Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement, we acquired all of the membership interests of LogicMark from the LogicMark Sellers for (i) $17.5 million in cash consideration (ii) $2.5 million in a secured promissory note (the “LogicMark Note”) issued to LogicMark Investment Partners, LLC, as representative of the LogicMark Sellers (the “LogicMark Representative”) (iii) 78,740 shares of common stock, which were issued upon signing of the Interest Purchase Agreement (the “LogicMark Shares”), and (iv) warrants (the “LogicMark Warrants,”) to purchase an aggregate of 157,480 shares of common stock (the “LogicMark Warrant Shares”) for no additional consideration. In addition, we may be required to pay the LogicMark Sellers earn-out payments of (i) up to $1,500,000 for calendar year 2016 and (ii) up to $5,000,000 for calendar year 2017 if LogicMark meets certain gross profit targets set forth in the Interest Purchase Agreement. The LogicMark Note originally was to mature on September 23, 2016 but was extended to April 15, 2017. During 2016 the Company paid down $1,726,031 of the Seller Note with cash generated from operations as well as from the net cash proceeds received of $1,400,000 from the issuance of the convertible exchange notes issued on November 29, 2016. The LogicMark Note accrues interest at a rate of 15% per annum. The LogicMark Warrants were all exercised on July 27, 2016. We are currently in the process of negotiating with the LogicMark Sellers to extend the due date on both the earn-out payment related to 2016 and the installment payment and accrued interest related to the LogicMark Note. Such amounts aggregate $1,500,000 and $813,635, respectively, and have been included as a component of current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017.

Our innovative MobileBio® security technologies that serve these end markets include encryption and payments, biometrics, security and privacy, sensors and miniaturization. Our core competencies and intellectual property in biometrics, security, sensors, and miniaturization – developed through intensive research and development over the past decade –enable us to target and serve multiple large and growing end markets globally.

We believe that our MobileBio® products will provide distinct advantages within m-commerce market by improving mobile security. Currently most mobile devices continue to be protected simply by PIN numbers. This security methodology is easily duplicated on another device, and can easily be spoofed or hacked. Our security paradigm is Dynamic Pairing Codes (“DPC”). DPC is a new, proprietary method to secure users, devices, accounts, locations and servers over any communication media by sharing key identifiers, including biometric-enabled identifiers, between end-points by passing dynamic pairing codes (random numbers) between end-points to establish sessions and/or transactions without exposing identifiers or keys. The ongoing high-level breaches of personal credit card data demand new securities to offer higher level of consumer protection through the use of biometrics and other proprietary solutions. Our strategic plan envisions using our core biometric facial and voice recognition algorithms to develop security applications (both cloud based and locally hosted) that can be used for companies (for industrial uses, such as enterprise computer networks) as well as individuals (for consumer uses, such as smartphones, tablets or personal computers), law enforcement, the defense industry, and the U.S. Department of Defense. Nxt-ID has numerous patents pending. Many of these patents pending focus on tokenization and protection, as well as payment methodology, voice biometrics, and other biometric forms of directed payment.

In healthcare, our business initiatives were bolstered by an acquisition of LogicMark, completed in the third quarter of 2016. LogicMark serves a market that enables two-way communication, sensors, biometrics and security to make home care for chronic medical conditions, including “aging in place,” a reality. There are three major trends driving this market: 1) an aging population, 2) desire to “age in place” and 3) the acute need to lower cost of care. These trends together have produced a large and growing market for us to serve. LogicMark has built a business around emergency communications in healthcare. We have a strong business with the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today serving veterans who suffer from chronic conditions that often require emergency assistance. This business is steady and growing. Our strategic plan calls for expanding LogicMark’s business into other retail and enterprise channels to better serve the expanding demand for secure and remote healthcare.

Remote healthcare, which includes health monitoring and management using IoT and cloud-based processing, is an emerging area for LogicMark. The long-term trend toward more home-based care is a massive shift that is being driven by demographics (an aging population) and basic economics. People also value autonomy and privacy which are important factors in determining which solutions will suit the market. Consumers are beginning to enjoy the benefits of smart home technologies and online digital assistants. One of the promising applications of our VoiceMatch™ technology is enabling secure commands for restricted medical access. This solution, when coupled with the Nxt-ID BioCloud™, combines biometrics with encryption and distributed access control.

Security and privacy concerns are already central to the adoption of IoT solutions that provides a large opportunity for the Company to collaborate and license their technology to the consumer-facing firms that are charging after the IoT opportunity.

In finance, the technology pioneered in the Nxt-ID “Wocket” has continued to develop in both range of capability while shrinking in size. This provides a technology package that can be integrated into a “smart wallet” that has the same technology as Apple Pay or into a card that can be used for a variety of transactions including – magnetic stripe emulation (Wi-Mag), Near Field Communication (NFC), tokens, barcode/QR codes and there can also be an EMV chip and a Bluetooth Beacon for remote sensing and response applications. Versions of this technology package provide a functional and secure “vault” that allows for full consumer control and customization by OEMs and solution providers.

Our finance business is being driven by the development of an innovative smartcard that leverages “Wocket” technology. The smartcard is called “Flye” and it is being developed in partnership with World Ventures Holdings, LLC (“WVH”). Flye is poised to finally deliver on the smart card vision that appeared in videos years ago. Flye offers new and unique features compared to any other “smartcards” in the market. It handles the core functions like loading in multiple cards, gathering loyalty points while opening up new opportunities - for example the Bluetooth Beacon makes it simpler for service providers to automatically open doors, provide access, initiate requests or any number of things – all with software. Flye is targeted at WorldVentures members who care about travel, food and entertainment. These concerns demand more than payments and include loyalty programs and security features for peace of mind when traveling. Flye is designed to work in synchrony with the WorldVentures smartphone application. It is a “tethered” solution, albeit a wireless one. WorldVentures has a comprehensive vision for their card that includes the ability to delivery highly tailored membership experience.

With respect to IoT, Nxt-ID has joined the Cisco Solution Partner program to provide biometric and encryption solutions in conjunction with other ecosystem partners. Cisco sees security as integral to IoT. They are integrating security directly into network infrastructure to enable companies to use their IoT networks in a secure fashion.

Our plan also anticipates that we will use our core biometric facial and voice recognition algorithms to develop security applications (both cloud based and locally hosted) that can be used for companies (for industrial uses, such as enterprise computer networks) as well as individuals (for consumer uses, such as smart phones, tablets or personal computers), law enforcement, the defense industry, and the U.S. Department of Defense.

Results of Operations

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016

Revenue. Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $6,681,297 compared to $42,302 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 versus the three months ended March 31, 2016 is directly related to shipments of the Flye card for WVH and LogicMark product sales which was acquired on July 25, 2016.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $3,509,290 compared to a gross loss of $32,853 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in gross profit resulted from the initial shipments of the Flye smartcard and strong gross margin contributed by LogicMark, both of which were not part of our operating results in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017, totaled $2,442,388 and consisted of research and development expenses of $84,944, selling and marketing expenses of $996,758 and general and administrative expenses of $1,360,686. Selling and marketing expenses consisted primarily of salaries and consulting services of $262,167, merchant processing fees of $108,127, and sales commissions of $72,241. General and administrative expenses consisted of salaries and consulting services of $452,083 accrued management and employee incentives of $150,000 and legal, audit and accounting fees of $200,707. Also included in general and administrative expenses is $86,140 in non-cash stock compensation to consultants and board members.

The significant favorable change in operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is attributable to the enhanced gross margin discussed above as well as certain cost containment efforts related to the operating expenses.

Net Loss. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017, was $730,215. The net loss was primarily attributable to the interest expense incurred of $1,703,930. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $5,411,696 and resulted in part from the operational expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016. In addition, the net loss was attributable to interest expense incurred of $512,667, unfavorable changes in fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,299,020 and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $272,749 resulting from the accelerated installment payments made during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred an operating profit of $1,066,902 and a net loss of $730,215, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Cash and Working Capital. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had cash and stockholders’ equity of $2,453,085 and $2,896,650, respectively. At March 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,391,950.

Cash generated by Operating Activities. Our primary ongoing uses of operating cash relate to payments to subcontractors and vendors for product, research and development, salaries and related expenses and professional fees. Our vendors and subcontractors generally provide us with normal trade payment terms. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash used in operating activities totaled $737,634, which was comprised of a net loss of $730,215, positive non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities of $1,339,082, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of positive $1,346,501, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,835,246 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, which was comprised of a net loss of $5,411,696, positive non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities of $3,240,956, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of positive $335,494.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash used in investing activities totaled $101,460 and was primarily related to a purchase of equipment of $1,460 and a deposit of $100,000 related to the acquisition of Fit Pay currently contemplated to close during the period ended June 30, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $1,110,049 and was related to changes in restricted cash of $1,110,049 which is primarily attributable to the cash proceeds received as a result of the transaction with WVH.

Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we paid $7,500 for legal expenses related to the issuance of the Exchange Notes issued in November 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company received proceeds of $400,000 from a short-term promissory note. In addition, the Company received proceeds of $50,000 in connection with the exercise of 100,000 warrants into 100,000 shares of common stock.

Sources of Liquidity. We are an emerging growth company and have generated losses from operations since inception. We incurred a net loss of $730,215 during the three months ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency and stockholders’ equity of $1,391,950 and $2,896,650, respectively.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had cash of $2,453,085.

Given our cash position at March 31, 2017 and our projected cash flow from operations over the next twelve months, we believe that we will have sufficient capital to sustain operations over the next twelve months following the date of this report. In order to execute our long-term strategic plan to develop and commercialize our core products, fulfill our product development commitments and fund our obligations as they come due, including the repayment of the LogicMark Note and the accrued interest and the earn-out payments related to the acquisition of LogicMark, we may need to raise additional funds, through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. Should we not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing, or generate sufficient revenue to fund our operations, we would need to curtail certain of our operational activities.

Acquisition of Fit Pay

On March 26, 2017, the Company signed a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Fit Pay, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Fit Pay”), regarding the acquisition by the Company of all of the equity of Fit Pay (the “Transaction”). Following the Transaction, Fit Pay will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price of the Transaction will consist of: (i) the issuance of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company to the shareholders of Fit Pay; (ii) the issuance by the Company of $2,000,000 worth of voting, non-convertible shares of junior preferred stock to (the “Junior Preferred Stock”) to certain holders of preferred shares of Fit Pay, which Junior Preferred Stock shall earn a cumulative dividend of 5% per annum and will increase to a dividend of 10% per annum after the Company’s market capitalization is $75,000,000 for greater than thirty (30) consecutive days; and (iii) an earn-out payment to the then former shareholders of Fit Pay of 12.5% of the gross revenue derived from the then seller’s technology by the Company, for the sixteen (16) quarter period beginning on October 1, 2017. The parties intend to negotiate and execute a definitive agreement for the Transaction in accordance with the terms of the LOI.

The definitive agreements will include customary closing conditions including necessary approvals. The Company and Fit Pay have agreed not to initiate or enter into any discussion with any other prospective purchaser of the assets and/or liabilities, or of the stock or business of Fit Pay prior to May 26, 2017.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not entered into any synthetic leases. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017, included elsewhere in this document.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are not required to provide the information required by this Item since we are a smaller reporting company, as defined in rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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 our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2017. As discussed below, based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As a result of the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting described below, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017, were not effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

As of March 31, 2017, we have identified certain matters that constituted a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, we have difficulty in accounting for complex accounting transactions due to an insufficient number of accounting personnel with experience in that area and limited segregation of duties within our accounting and financial reporting functions. Management has recently hired an assistant controller with significant experience to help address this situation. Additional time is required to expand our staff, fully document our systems, implement control procedures and test their operating effectiveness before we can conclude that we have remediated our material weakness.

Except as described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.
