PURADYN FILTER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


1.

Basis of Presentation, Going Concern and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Organization


Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is engaged in the manufacturing, distribution and sale of bypass  oil filtration systems under the trademark Puradyn ® primarily to companies within targeted industries. The Company holds the exclusive worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights for the Puradyn products through direct ownership of various patents.


Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.


For further information, refer to the Company's financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.


Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers when products that do not require further services or installation by the Company are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and when collectability is reasonably assured in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition , as amended and interpreted. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as deferred revenue. Sales are made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return and other limited product and performance warranties for which provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements.


Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in net sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable to stockholder approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, because of their short-term natures.




4



PURADYN FILTER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)



Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable are recorded at fair value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to repay their obligation. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay, additional allowances may be required. The Company provides for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on specific customer identification and historical collection experience adjusted for existing market conditions. If market conditions decline, actual collection experience may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flows and increased bad debt expense.


The policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer, which are generally net 30 or net 60 days. Once collection efforts by the Company and its collection agency are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made.


Inventories


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Production costs, consisting of labor and overhead, are applied to ending finished goods inventories at a rate based on estimated production capacity. Excess production costs are charged to cost of products sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, except for assets held under capital leases, for which the Company records depreciation and amortization based on the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the term of the lease. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment range from 3 to 5 years. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.


Patents


Patents are stated at cost. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the patents. The estimated useful lives of patents are 17 to 20 years. Upon retirement, the cost and related accumulated amortization are eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to result from those assets over the remaining life to the assets’ net carrying amounts. If the estimated undiscounted net cash flows are less than the net carrying amount, the assets would be adjusted to their fair value, based on appraisal or the present value of the undiscounted net cash flows.


Product Warranty Costs


As required by FASB ASC 460, Guarantor’s Guarantees , the Company is including the following disclosure applicable to its product warranties.



5



PURADYN FILTER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)



The Company accrues for warranty costs based on the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty replacement products. The methodology used in determining the liability for warranty cost is based upon historical information and experience.  The Company's warranty reserve is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed financial statements and is calculated as the gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, there was no change to the reserve for warranty liability as the reserve balance was deemed sufficient to absorb any warranty costs that might be incurred from the sales activity for the period.


The following table shows the changes in the aggregate product warranty liability for the six -months ended June 30, 2017:


Balance as of December 31, 2016

Less: Payments made

 

 

 

Add: Provision for current period warranties

 

 

 

Balance as of June 30, 2017 (unaudited)

 

$

Advertising Costs


Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the three and six months ended June, 2017 and 2016, advertising costs incurred by the Company totaled approximately $0 and $301, $0 and $1,115, respectively, and are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.


Engineering and Development


Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, engineering and development costs incurred by the Company totaled $0 and $0, and $1,575 and $2,113, respectively, and are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.


Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes . Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.


Stock Option Plans


We adopted FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method of adoption which requires us to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005 by recognizing the amortized grant date fair value in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 718 on straight line basis over the service periods of each award. We have estimated forfeiture rates based on our historical experience. Stock option compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 has been recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.


The Company leases its employees from a payroll leasing company. The Company’s leased employees meet the definition of employees as specified by FASB Interpretation No. 44 for purposes of applying FASB ASC 718.




6



PURADYN FILTER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)



Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with FASB ASC 505, Equity, and FASB ASC 718 , Compensation-Stock Compensation, including related amendments and interpretations. The related expense is recognized over the period the services are provided.


Credit Risk


The Company minimizes the concentration of credit risk associated with its cash by maintaining its cash with high quality federally insured financial institutions. However, cash balances in excess of the FDIC insured limit of $250,000 are at risk. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, the Company did not have cash balances above the FDIC insured limit. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its significant trade accounts receivable customers and generally does not require collateral. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained against trade accounts receivable at levels which management believes is sufficient to cover probable credit losses. The Company also has some customer concentrations, and the loss of business from one or a combination of these significant customers, or an unexpected deterioration in their financial condition, could adversely affect the Company’s operations.  Please refer to Note 14 for further details.


Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share


FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share , requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. However, because of the Company's net losses, the effect of outstanding stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive and, accordingly, is excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. The number of such shares excluded from the computation of loss per share were 4,497,662 and 5,251,196 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


Reclassifications


Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No.2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” defers the effective date ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, " Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ," which aims to eliminate diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company has not yet determined the potential effects of the adoption of ASU 2016-15 on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) ”, (“ASU 2016-09”). This guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the full impact of the new standard.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


All other newly issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Going Concern


The Company's financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained losses since inception and used net cash in operations of $355,708 and $668,601 during the six-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As a result, the Company has had to rely principally on stockholder loans to fund its activities to date.


These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from two stockholders led the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Liggett & Webb, P.A., to include a statement in its audit report relating to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 expressing substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company can draw amounts as needed to fund operations. Amounts drawn bear interest at the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus 1.4 percentage points (3.61% and 2.83% per annum at June 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively), payable monthly and were to become due and payable on December 31, 2005 or upon a change in control of the Company or the consummation of any other financing over $7.0 million.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


Overview


We focus our sales strategy on individual sales and distribution efforts as well as on the development of a worldwide distribution network that will sell, install and support our product. We currently have a network of over 55 domestic and international distributors and dealers; however, the majority of our products are sold through a limited number of distributors.


Sales of the Company’s products, the Puradyn ® bypass oil filtration system and replaceable filter elements depend principally upon end user demand for such products.  We continue to market our product and its benefits through direct contact efforts with our distributors, direct customers, and original equipment manufacturers.


Our sales and marketing efforts target industries and potential customers open to innovative methods to reduce oil maintenance costs. We believe these businesses are searching for new and progressive ways to better maintain their equipment, including bypass oil filtration.

DistributionNow (DNOW) joined the Puradyn distributor network early in 2016 and we believe that it provides the potential to consistently support our product on a global basis. DNOW has approximately 300 outlets worldwide that have the potential to sell and/or service the Puradyn system and, as a new distributor for the oil and gas services industry, increases our potential reach to new markets and customers which we would otherwise not be able to effectively develop. Sales to DNOW represented 57.92% and 41.28%, respectively, of our net sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.


We have found the price of oil not only affects our customers in the oil and gas industry but all ancillary industries these customers serve. The oil and gas industry, in particular, was hardest hit by the downturn in oil prices in 2015 and 2016 but, as oil drilling rigs return to service, we are seeing resurgence in orders for replacement filters and new installations with a solid economy and a leveling of oil prices. Based on industry intelligence from oil field services firm Baker Hughes as published online weekly on its website, the number of US oil rigs in service increased 44% during the first six months of 2017 over the same time period in 2016, even with a slight decrease of 18% in 2017 for the price of NYMEX (WTI) crude oil. As the oil industry continues to recover in 2017, our customers in this segment are renewing orders for replacement filter elements and new purchases as their equipment continues to go back into service. Our sales to this industry for the six months 2017 versus the first 6 months 2016 are up 36%, which are partially offset by a slight decrease in the industrial and marine segments. However, some customers are recovering faster than others as 2017 is still considered a transition year during which time major oil companies are still cutting costs.


Our revenues historically have not been sufficient to fund our operating expenses. We believe the improvement in the general economic condition positively impacting the oil and gas industry has had a likewise positive effect on our business. We continue to address our liquidity and working capital issues through working capital loans from our Chief Executive Officer and another member of the board of directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 we borrowed an additional $440,000 from him, and at June 30, 2017 we owed our Chairman $7,553,349 which represented approximately 78% of our total liabilities. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, he has advanced an additional $85,000 in working capital funding. These amounts are due at December 31, 2017 and we do not have sufficient funds to repay the obligations. He has recently advised us he does not expect to continue to provide working capital advances to us at historic amounts or extend the due date of the obligation.


We also owe certain of our employees $1,610,645 in deferred cash compensation at June 30, 2017, which represents 17% of our current liabilities on that date. Since 2005, Messrs. Sandler and Kroger, two of our executive officers, and two other employees, have elected to defer a portion of the compensation due them to assist us in managing our cash flow and working capital needs. As there is no written agreement with these employees which memorializes the terms of salary deferral, only a voluntary election to do so, it is possible that the employees could demand payment in full at any time. We do not have the funds to pay these amounts in entirety, and any demand by these officers and employees for full payment would reduce the amount of funds we have available for our operations. As of June 30, 2017, one employee has withdrawn the full amount of deferred pay, and one other employee is currently drawing down a specified amount to offset the total deferred amount. Neither of these employees are executive officers.

While we do not have any external sources of liquidity at this time, the Company is actively in continuing discussion with third parties for potential investments. In an effort to improve our ability to raise capital, on November 11, 2016, Mr. Vittoria converted $6,100,000 of principal and interest due him into 20,333,333 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share. We were initially hopeful that his conversion of approximately 46% owed him into shares of our common stock at a price which was effectively 10 times the recent market price of our common stock would have provided new investor interest in our efforts to raise working capital upon terms acceptable to our company. To date, such has not been the case although we continue to discuss financing options with a number of possible sources.


As described elsewhere herein, it is unlikely our Chief Executive Officer will continue to fund our working capital needs and we do not have the funds necessary to satisfy our obligations to him, or the amounts of deferred compensation owed certain of our employees. If budgeted sales levels are not achieved and/or significant unanticipated expenditures occur, or if we are not able to borrow or raise additional investment capital, we may have to modify our business plan, reduce or discontinue some of our operations or seek a buyer for part of our assets to continue as a going concern through 2017. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or that sales will increase to the level required to generate profitable operations to provide positive cash flow from operations. In the event we are unable to secure needed capital, it is possible that we will be unable to continue as a going concern and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in our company.


Going Concern


Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred net losses each year since inception and have relied on loans from related parties to fund our operations. These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from our principal stockholder, as set forth above, have led our independent registered public accounting firm Liggett & Webb, P.A. to include a statement in its audit report relating to our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities when they become due and to generate profitable operations in the future. There are no assurances that we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan, pay our obligations as they become due or generate positive operating results.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 1 to our audited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

Information concerning recently issued accounting pronouncements is set forth in Note 1 of our notes to condensed financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations for the Three-months and Six-months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to the Three-months and Six-months Ended June 30, 2016


Net Sales


Net sales remained relatively steady, decreasing less than 1% in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016.  Net sales increased 23% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016.  We attribute the results in the 2017 periods to a number of customers in targeted markets experiencing revived business outlook with apparent stability in the economy and oil pricing.   However, as world events which are beyond our control may adversely impact the economy and /or oil pricing during the balance of 2017, we are unable at this time to predict if the stabilization trend will continue during the balance of the year.


Cost of Products Sold


Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased by 21%; from 28% in the second quarter of 2016 to 7% in the second quarter of 2017.  Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased by 5%, from 28% in the six months ended June 30, of 2016 to 23% in the six months ended June 30, 2017.  During the three months ended June 30, 2017 the Company recorded an additional provision for slow moving inventory of $121,998 which adversely impacted margins in that period. We continue to review cost of materials increases, some of which were passed through to our customers as product price increases in the past few years.


Selling and Administrative Expenses


Selling and administrative expenses decreased 6% for the second quarter of 2017 from the comparable period in 2016, and 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from the comparable period in 2016, both which are attributable to reduction in expenses associated with stock compensation to employees, reduced professional fees, and reduced travel.  We anticipate that our selling and administration expenses will remain at the same level throughout 2017, inclusive of communication costs, office supplies, and other components of administrative expenses.


Salary and Wages


Salaries and wages decreased 6% in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016, and 8% for the first six months of 2017 from the comparable period in 2016, due to reduced staffing.  We anticipate that our salaries and wages will remain at the same level throughout 2017.


Interest Expense


Interest expense decreased 26% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2016, and 24% for the first six months of 2017 as compared to the first six months of 2017.  These decreases are the result of the conversion of a portion of the debt to equity by Mr. Vittoria in November 2016. The Company pays interest monthly on the notes payable to our principal stockholder at prime rate less 0.5%, with rates reset as often as the Federal Reserve changes interest rates, which was a weighted average of 3.61% for the second quarter of 2017, as compared to an average of 2.83% for 2016.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of June 30, 2017, the Company had cash of $6,272 as compared to $12,806 at December 31, 2016. At June 30, 2017, we had negative working capital of ($8,802,631) and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was .09 to 1.  At December 31 2016, we had negative working capital of $8,266,892 and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was .11 to 1. The decrease in working capital deficit and decrease in current ratio is primarily attributable to the decrease in cash, decreased inventory, and increases in deferred compensation which were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable.




17



 


We have incurred net losses each year since inception and at June 30, 2017 we had an accumulated deficit of $61,889,754. Our net sales are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. This could affect our ability to ship product in a timely fashion. Historically, we have relied on loans from related parties to fund our operations. As described elsewhere herein, we do not have any additional sources of working capital and it is unlikely our Chief Executive Officer will continue to fund our working capital needs.  


Cash Flows  


Operating activities


For the six month period ended June 30, 2017 net cash used in operating activities was $355,708, which primarily resulted from the net loss of $558,569.  In addition to the cash used in funding the operating loss, the utilization of cash in operations is also attributable to a provision for slow moving inventory of $121,998, the increase in accounts receivable of $72,538 and, an increase in prepaid expenses of $1,798, increased deferred compensation of $7,819, increased accrued liabilities of $27,994 and reduced accounts payable of $4,527. The amounts were partially offset by decreased inventory of $86,629 as a result of limited funds to reorder products.


Investing activities


For the six months ending June 30, 2017, $38,948 was used in investing activities for the purchase of equipment and capitalized patent costs. For the six months ending June 30, 2016, $101,876 was used in investing activities for the purchase of software and capitalized patent costs.


Financing activities


Net cash provided by financing activities was $388,122 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which was composed of $440,000 in loans from our stockholders as described above, repayment of loan from a member of the Board of Directors, totaling $50,000 and $1,878 in payments of capital lease obligations. Net cash provided by financing activities was $787,034 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was composed of $763,912 in loans from our stockholders and an unsecured loan from a member of the Board of Directors, totaling $25,000 which was partially offset by $1,878 in payments of capital lease obligations.


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


As of the date of this report, we do not have any 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 are material to investors.  The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management, which includes our CEO, and our Vice President who serves as our principal financial officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2016 (the "Evaluation Date"). Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.


Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and our Vice President who also serves as our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President who serves as our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.


In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and our subsequent filings with the SEC, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, subject to the new or modified risk factors appearing below that should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in such Form 10-K. These cautionary statements are to be used as a reference in connection with any forward-looking statements. The factors, risks and uncertainties identified in these cautionary statements are in addition to those contained in any other cautionary statements, written or oral, which may be made or otherwise addressed in connection with a forward-looking statement or contained in any of our subsequent filings with the SEC.


WE NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS. IF WE CANNOT RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL AS NEEDED, OUR ABILITY TO FUND OUR ONGOING OPERATIONS WILL BE IN JEOPARDY AND WE WILL BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.


As described elsewhere herein, our net sales are not sufficient to pay our operating expenses. Our capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including our ability to internally grow our revenues, manage our business and control our expenses. Historically, our operations have been financed primarily through loans from our Chief Executive Officer, as well as other affiliates. Our Chief Executive Officer recently advised us that he does not expect to continue to provide working capital advances to the Company at historic levels. Given our history of losses and debt levels, we face a number of challenges in our ability to raise capital. If we do not significantly increase our net sales or raise funds as needed, our ability to provide for current working capital needs, pay our obligations as they become due, grow our company, and continue our existing business and operations is in jeopardy. In this event, we would no longer be able to continue as a going concern and you could lose all of your investment in our company.


WE OWE APPROXIMATELY $7.6 MILLION WHICH IS DUE BY DECEMBER 31, 2017.


At June 30, 2016, we owe our Chief Executive Officer approximately $7.6 million, and he has advanced us an additional $35,000 in the third quarter of 2017. This loan, which is unsecured, is due on December 31, 2017. Our Chief Executive Officer has advised us he does not expect to continue his practice of extending the due date of this obligation and we do not have sufficient funds to pay this loan when it becomes due.
