HCi  Viocare
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine months ended September 30, 2017


 
Note 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
 
HCi Viocare ("VICA" or the "Company") was incorporated on March 26, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
 
While the Company has generated revenues from a portion of its planned principal operations, we are not yet able to meet operational overheads and are not yet profitable. We are considered an emerging growth enterprise. The Company was originally formed to sell medical devices with an emphasis on portable medical devices designed for home treatments with the initial focus in the northern regions of China.  The Company's intent was to seek strategic relationships with medical device manufacturers both in China and North America with the aim to be their sales and distribution agent in Northern China and to assist Chinese medical device manufacturers on the development of the North American market.
On September 10, 2013, the controlling shareholder of the Company sold his controlling interest in the shares of the Company and there was a change in the Board of Directors of the Company, effecting a change in control of the Company. The business of the Company remains in the field of medical devices and other opportunities related to their uses. We are currently engaged in the technology development and licensing of bioengineering innovations for the health, sports and wellness sectors, and we intend to be engaged in the operation of prosthetic and orthotic (P&O) total rehabilitation clinics.

On January 15, 2014, the Company incorporated two wholly-owned subsidiaries in Scotland, U.K., HCi Viocare Technologies Limited and HCi Viocare Clinics UK Limited. The Company intends to operate in Scotland under these two subsidiaries, one of which will undertake the development and marketing of technologies and the other which is a P&O clinic, which will serve as the centre of reference and training for the company's further clinics.

On February 12, 2014, through our wholly owned subsidiary, HCi Viocare Technologies Limited, the Company acquired an interest in a patented technology known as "Socket-Fit". SocketFit is a system that will help overcome technical and resource hurdles endemic to the prosthetic sector. The system has been designed with the aim of offering optimally fitted prosthetic sockets that will reduce the number of prostheses made for patients, resulting in a reduced number of visits by the patient to the prosthetic, and also assisting in the rehabilitation of amputees.  Socket-Fit is a digital system for assessing an amputee's residual limb and for the production of truly functional and comfortable prosthetic sockets. The technology takes account of the external and internal geometry of the amputee's stump, the biomechanical properties of each individual soft tissue layer and the boundary and loading conditions of a complete prosthesis to generate a virtual 3D model of the residual limb making it possible to produce an accurate, functional and comfortable prosthetic socket. By minimizing the time and cost of socket production and reducing the number of faulty sockets there will be a reduction in costs incurred by health services and insurance companies worldwide as well as benefits to the amputee. The Company intends to undertake and fund, through its U.K. subsidiary, a project to improve the nature of the data used in socket modeling software with a view to creating a system that will enable prosthetists to build a socket that evenly distributes weight, provides enhanced comfort, and can be marketed and used across the industry for improved socket creation.

On February 19, 2014, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada to change the name of the Company to HCi Viocare effective March 21, 2014.  Effective March 21, 2014, in accordance with approval from FINRA, we changed our name from China Northern Medical Device, Inc. to HCi Viocare. Concurrently we commenced trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "VICA".

On April 16, 2014, through our wholly owned subsidiary HCi Viocare Technologies Limited, we acquired all rights and interest in and to the background Intellectual Property Rights ("IPR") for a developing technology known as "Smart Insole".  The Smart Insole system is believed to be a state-of-the-art, pressure and shear (friction)-sensing insole that can wirelessly communicate with connected devices.  The insole has a number of applications, including the mitigation of diabetic foot complications, such as ulceration, infection and amputation, in clinical gait analysis and in sports, as a wearable device to help athletes optimize their performance and prevent injury. The sensing system is very low cost, compared to traditional pressure sensing technologies, in our opinion making such applications affordable to the consumer for the first time.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine months ended September 30, 2017
 
Note 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND (continued)

On June 9, 2014, the Company, through our wholly owned subsidiary, HCi Viocare Clinics, acquired W D Spence Prosthetics Limited (the "Clinic"). The Clinic is located in Glasgow, Scotland, and is a fully operational prosthetics and orthotics clinic. The acquisition of the Clinic is the first step to the Company's and HCi Viocare Clinics' intention to develop the first chain of prosthetics and orthotics (P&O) and diabetic foot rehabilitation clinics in the European market, covering Southern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

On March 31, 2015, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary HCi Viocare Clinics and its subsidiary W D Spence Prosthetics Limited completed a merger with the resulting combined entity having the name HCi Viocare Clinics UK Limited.

On July 8, 2015, the Company incorporated HCi Viocare Clinics (Hellas) S A in order to carry out operations for the planning and development of a P&O clinic in Athens, Greece. On August 2, 2017 the Company commenced the dissolution and liquidation of this corporation.

The Company incurred net losses of $1,498,738 and $1,215,551 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and has a retained deficit of $33,247,945 as of September 30, 2017. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,298,512 and a stockholders' deficit of $1,125,272 at September 30, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders.
 
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company has relied heavily for its financing needs on its Chief Executive Officer and President as more fully disclosed in Note 10.

Note 3 - CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER/OFFICER
 
Our Chief Executive Officer owns beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the Company. Accordingly, the Chief Executive Officer has the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including approving significant expenses, increasing the authorized capital stock and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company's assets.

Note 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principals of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HCi Viocare and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HCi Viocare Technologies Limited, HCi Viocare Clinics UK Limited and HCi Viocare Clinics (Hellas) S.A., up until its dissolution. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those audited financial statements included in Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results when ultimately realized could differ from these estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks with maturities of three months or less, and all highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates their fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Foreign Currencies

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the Company and its subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional currency').  The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.  The functional currency of subsidiaries based in the UK is pound sterling and the functional currency of the Company's subsidiary based in the Greece is the Euro. All transactions initiated in Pounds and Euro are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 830-30, "Translation of Financial Statements," as follows:
 
i) assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet or 1USD=0.84722EUR, 1USD=0.74614GBP (September 30, 2017), and;
1USD=0.9490EUR, 1USD=0.8127GBP (December 31, 2016);
ii) income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for nine months ended September 30, or 1USD=0.9000EUR, 1USD=0.7846GBP (September 30, 2017), and;
1USD=0.8960EUR, 1USD=0.7186GBP (September 30, 2016);
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for three months ended September 30, or 1USD=0.851277EUR, 1USD=0.76413GBP (September 30, 2017), and;
1USD=0.89164EUR, 1USD=0.76124GBP (September 30, 2016)
iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognized as other comprehensive income, a separate component of equity.
 
Adjustments arising from such translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity.

Note 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. This generally occurs when prosthetic products are fitted to customers, both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred or services have been rendered and accepted, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Inventory
 
Inventories, which consist principally of raw materials and parts, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and are adjusted to actual cost quarterly based on a physical count. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. Work-in-process inventory consists of materials, labor and a predetermined fixed rate of overhead which is valued based on established standards for the stage of completion of each custom order. We do not carry finished goods on hand. Material, labor and overhead costs are determined at the individual clinic level. Presently we only maintain very limited parts and raw materials inventory.
 
Warranty
 
We do not record warranty liabilities at the time of sale for the estimated costs that may be incurred under the terms of the applicable limited warranty as all component parts are covered by our respective industry suppliers.
 
Advertising Costs
 
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred or the first time the advertising takes place, whichever is earlier, in accordance with ASC 720-35. Advertising costs were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Research and Development Costs
 
The Company charges research and development costs to expense when incurred in accordance with FASB ASC 730, "Research and Development". Research and development costs were $49,627 and $222,214 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $75,723 and $279,658 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Related parties
 
For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.

Stock-based compensation

For stock-based compensation the Company follows the guidance codified in the Compensation – Stock Compensation Topic of FASB ASC ("ASC 718"). The Company determines the value of stock issued at the date of grant. It also determines at the date of grant, the value of stock at fair market value or the value of services rendered (based on contract or otherwise) whichever is more readily determinable.

Note 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes", which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company has retained deficit from operations. Because there is no certainty that we will realize taxable income in the future, the Company did not record any deferred tax benefit as a result of these losses.

Income tax years for 2014, 2015 and 2016 are open to examination by the taxing authorities.
 
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share." FASB ASC 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company had potentially dilutive securities outstanding (convertible debt and liabilities) for the period ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, however, since the Company reflected a net loss in the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents, if outstanding, would have been anti-dilutive. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.

Comprehensive Income
 
FASB ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income", establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period, exclusive of shareholder transactions. Accordingly, comprehensive income (loss) may include certain changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) that are excluded from net income (loss).
 
Segment Reporting
 
FASB ASC 820 "Segments Reporting" establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company's internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. Our proposed business segments are expected to span more than one geographical area. Specifically, the Company intends to operate prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation clinics with various European based locations, as well as a corporate development and technology center which will undertake ongoing research and marketing activities.

Note 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value of Measurements

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Input other than quoted market prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, and reasonably available. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.
 
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions that the Company develops based on available information about what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.

An asset or liability's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a variety of factors. The Company uses judgment in determining fair value of assets and liabilities and Level 3 assets and liabilities involve greater judgment than Level 1 and Level 2 assets or liabilities.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business" with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. This guidance will be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" that eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, an impairment charge will be based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on Step 1 of the current goodwill impairment test). This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. This guidance will be adopted on a prospective basis.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, "Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities" that shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. This guidance will be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to materially impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The new guidance provides clarity and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The accounting standard update will be effective for The Company beginning January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In August of 2017, the FASB issued guidance to better align the financial reporting related to hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities and to simplify the application of current hedge accounting guidance. Entities are required to apply the guidance using a modified retrospective method as of the period of adoption. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Management is evaluating
 
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

Lease in UK

On March 2, 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a modern, stand-alone 5,300 square foot facility in Glasgow, Scotland with an entry date of March 1, 2015. The building will host the Company's first Viocare center, a full-service Prosthetic and Orthotic ("P&O") practice with a superior standard of personalized care. The renovations to the clinic were completed in June, and the facility was opened on August 1, 2015 with an official ribbon cutting on 25 September 2015.

On April 15, 2014, the Company appointed Professor Martha Lucia Zequera, Professor William Sandham, Professor Stephan Solomonidis and Doctor Christos Kapatos to the Advisory Board of the Company and entered into advisory board agreements with respect to services to be provided.

Note 13 - STOCK OPTIONS (continued)

The following table presents the range of the weighted average fair value of options granted and the related assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model for stock option grants:

Series A Preferred Stock:

September 30, 2014
 
Fair value of options granted

1.93
%
Volatility (c)
   
175.4
%
Dividend yield (d)
   
0.00
 

a) Expected life : The expected term of options granted is determined using the "shortcut" method allowed by SAB No.107. Under this approach, the expected term is presumed to be immediately after the vesting date at the end of the contractual term of one (1) year.
 
b) Risk-free interest rate : The rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected life of the options.
 
c) Volatility:  The expected volatility of the Company's common stock is calculated by using the historical daily volatility of the Company's stock price calculated over a period of time representative of the expected life of the options.
 
d) Dividend yield : The dividend yield rate is not considered in the model, as the Company has not established a dividend policy for the stock.
 
Note 14– PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:
 
The Company's operations in Greece have no tax free income threshold and are subject to taxation at a rate of 29% applied to all net income earned after $1 Euro.  Further, after its first year of profitable operations, the Company is required to remit estimated income taxes prorated monthly based on the prior year's calculated income taxes payable.

Note 14– PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES: (continued)
 
The Company's operations in the United Kingdom are subject to Corporation Tax at a single taxation rate of 20% calculated on net income.  The Company's operations are subject to certain relief from taxation with respect to R&D credit claims and may be subject to "Patent Box" relief which provides for a lower rate of income tax payable on all licensing income generated from the corporate owned patents.  There are numerous criteria required to be met to qualify for such relief.
 
The Company has experienced losses since inception. As a result, it has incurred no Federal income tax. The Internal Revenue Code allows net operating losses (NOL's) to be carried forward and applied against future profits for a period of twenty years. The Greece Tax Code permits such carryforwards for a period of five years. The United Kingdom Tax Code permits such carryforwards indefinitely. The total of these NOL's at September 30, 2017 was $ 5,303,600 in the U.S., $ 1,468,900 in Greece and $ 294,879 in the U.K and at December 31, 2016 was $4,619,000 in the U.S., $1,244,000 in Greece and $306,000 in the U.K.

The Company has no tax position at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the period presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company's utilization of any net operating loss carry forward may be unlikely as a result of its intended activities.

The Company recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carryforwards. The Company will establish a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.

Note 15 - SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company's operations are classified into two reportable segments that provide different products or services. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different marketing, operations, and growth and technology development strategies.
 
The Clinics segment derives its revenue from provision of services at our P&O Clinic located in Glasgow, Scotland. The Technology segment derives its income from the licensing of its proprietary technologies and ultimately recurring royalty income as well as technology access fees. Presently we are only deriving income from our UK-based operations.  We expect this to be the case until such time as we are able to expand our chain of P&O Clinics.
 
There are no inter-segment sales however, the Company's two primary operating segments do share cost on certain operational overheads including facility rent and staff salaries.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of HCi Viocare for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 shall be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results of the timing of events could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in our Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 19, 2017. We use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "project," "continuing," "ongoing," "expect," "believe," "intend," "may," "will," "should," "could," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
 
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
 
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 26, 2007 as a company intending to sell medical devices in the northern regions of China. Our intent was to seek strategic relationships with medical device manufacturers both in China and North America with the aim to be their sales and distribution agent in northern China. We also intended to assist Chinese medical device manufacturers on the development of the North American market. The Company did not find suitable relationships with which to progress its business until it undertook a change in management in September 2013. With the change in management, the Company determined that it would initially concentrate on the development and marketing of medical devices in Europe, more particularly initially in Scotland, where management had identified several opportunities for entry into the markets for prosthetics and orthotics. We are currently engaged in healthcare innovation in the fields of prosthetics and orthotics (P&O), and we intend to be engaged in the operation of P&O total rehabilitation clinics.   Further during fiscal 2014 we acquired various patents for the development of certain healthcare innovations including various athletic applications.  We have two wholly-owned Scottish subsidiaries: HCi Viocare Technologies Limited and HCi Viocare Clinics UK Limited, and one wholly owned Greek subsidiary, HCi Viocare Clinics (Hellas) S A.  Our Greek subsidiary is currently being liquidated and dissolved.

Presently we are primarily engaged in the research and development, commercialization and marketing of innovative medical technologies including wearable devices and on body applications that have use in insoles, in shoes, in cushions, seats, mattresses, saddles and any other wearable devices such as smart apparel and sports equipment.  Further we are in development for more far reaching applications including use in automotive tires and other targeted industries where sensor technology may have valuable application.  Further we continue to operate and expand our brand of prosthetics and orthotics ("P&O") and diabetic foot total rehabilitation clinics. During fiscal 2016 our flagship prosthetics clinic in Glasgow Scotland completed its first full year of operations after relocation to a larger state of the art facility which allowed for a substantive increase in our year over year revenues.  Presently our revenue stream is derived primarily from the Company's flagship P&O clinic located in Glasgow, Scotland, and with some initial commercial income from prospective licensing partners for the Technologies businesses.

The Company's technologies and R&D portfolio presently consists of:

•  
Filing of 3 patents in the UK: pressure sensor system; pressure & shear; pressure & positioning (Dec 2014) (all of which patents were abandoned upon the filing of a new International (PCT) patent application in December 2015 which covers over 140 countries around the world, and includes further advances made to the sensor systems, and a wider range of applications in products that touch people's everyday lives;
 
•  
2 further patents drafted and pending filing during fiscal 2017;

•  
In excess of 4 prototypes:  pressure & shear insole; smart cushion, smart mattress, with several of these prototypes in the commercialization stage;
 
•  
1 proof of concept device: robotic surgical assistive device;
   
  •    High level diagrams or complex documentation and software for other innovations in the portfolio.
 
• 
Various customized prototypes in testing and development with commercial partners.

 
Key business developments in the most recently completely quarter ended September 30, 2017 and to date
 
Effective July 19, 2017, HCi Viocare Clinics UK Limited and Tharawat Holdings Company ("Tharawat"), a company incorporated under the laws of Saudi Arabia, entered into a Joint Venture agreement for the formation of a company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with the purpose of setting up a network of Prosthetics and Orthotics centres throughout the Middle East. The agreement foresees the establishment of Prosthetics and Orthotics centres throughout the agreed territory, with a total annual capacity of 10,000 amputees and 30,000 orthotic clients, as per International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics ("ISPO") standards. 
 
Under the terms of the agreement, the Joint Venture Company will be fully funded by Tharawat and will be initially owned 90% by Tharawat Holdings Company and 10% by HCi Viocare Clinics UK, with the provision for HCi Viocare's share to be increased to 20% upon meeting specific targets of the business plan.  Additionally, HCi Viocare will also be compensated for the management of the clinics at a rate of 5% of the net profits of the clinics, on a per-country basis. On November 11, 2017 the Company received notice from Tharawat Holdings (ref: Note 11 above) that the parties, despite good faith negotiations, had not achieved concensus on the terms of the detailed business plan or the management services agreement within 90 days, as expected, in the original July 19, 2017 agreement.  Both parties concurred that the additional negotiations to close the terms as contemplated require an undefined and extended length of time As such both parties have agreed not to extend the original agreement, but rather to let it terminate and to continue to work on the key terms of the business-plan in good faith with the intent to re-engage a joint venture agreement upon completion of a mutually agreeable business and management services agreement.

On October 9, 2017, the Company appointed Dr Ioannis Doupis, to the Advisory Board of the Company originally formed on April 15, 2014.  Dr. Doupis joins the Scientific Advisory Board assuming the role of Director of Clinical Matters and Diabetes. Dr. Doupis is a former Clinical Research Fellow of the Joslin Diabetes Center, Harvard Medical School, in Boston, MA, USA, and Scientific partner in Beth Israel Deaconess Foot Center Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. He is currently directing the Diabetes Division of Iatriko Kentro Palaiou Falirou Medical Center as well as, the Internal Medicine and Diabetes Department of the NS Naval Hospital, in Athens, Greece. He is also a Tutor for Diabetes Diploma in Cardiff University Medical School supervising also MSc students

On October 23, 2017 HCi Viocare Technologies Limited, Company's wholly owned subsidiary entered into a technology adaptation and integration agreement with Ekso Bionics, Inc., a Delaware US ("Ekso"). As per terms and conditions of the agreement the Company   undertook to work for the customization of Company's Flexisense sensor technology and supply of prototype products thereof to Ekso.
Additional information on the Company's activities, technologies and management team can be found at the Company's website:  http://www.hciviocare.com
Other than as set out herein, we have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, nor have we been a party to any material reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of our business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Revenue, Cost of Revenue, and Gross Profit  - We have incurred losses since inception. We generated $50,218 in revenues from operations and $8,037 in cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $463,350 in revenue and $115,917 in costs of goods sold for the three month period ended September 30, 2016.   The current quarter decrease in revenue period over period is due to two large prostheses projects undertaken during the prior comparative quarter, with no similar contracts in the current period. In addition the Company has not had the funds in the current period to dedicate to a targeted advertising program to introduce new clients to our flagship clinic, as we have in prior fiscal periods.  These decreases quarter over quarter from fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2017 are also  in part due to the fact that the GBP declined substantially in value period over period, which greatly impacts our US dollar reporting results as the majority of our income is earned in GBP. 

Operating Expenses  – Operating expenses totaling $474,316 in the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased substantially as compared to a reported gain from operating expenses totaling $191,405 in the prior comparative period as a result of the forgiveness of certain consulting fees booked in prior periods totaling $383,993 which was impacted in the three months ended September 30, 2016.  As a result consulting fees increased substantially in the current three month period totaling $302,825.   Other operating expenditures remained relatively constant other than decrease to research and development fees period over period which totaled $49,627 in the current period as compared to $75,732 in the prior comparative period ended September 30, 2016.
 
Loss from Operations –  During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 we recorded losses from operations of $432,135 as compared to income from operations of $538,838 in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Other expenses  - During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net loss from other expense of $22,266 as compared to a gain from other expense in the three months ended September 30, 2016 totaling $1,213.  The losses in the current period are the result of a loss on debt settlement of $17,707 as well as the impact of the effects of foreign currency translation and interest expenses of $3,418.

Net Loss  - During the comparative three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company recorded a net loss of $454,401 as compared to net income of $539,946 in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Revenue, Cost of Revenue, and Gross Profit  - We have incurred losses since inception. We generated $269,918 in revenues from operations and $84,616 in cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $652,287 in revenue and $195,286 in costs of goods sold for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.  The decrease in revenue period over period is due to two large prostheses projects undertaken during the prior comparative nine month period, with no similar contracts in the current period. In addition the Company has not had the funds in the current period to dedicate to a targeted advertising program to introduce new clients to our flagship clinic, as we have in prior fiscal periods.  These decreases period over period from fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2017 are also  in part due to the fact that the GBP declined substantially in value period over period, which greatly impacts our US dollar reporting results as the majority of our income is earned in GBP. 

 
Operating Expenses  – Operating expenses totaling $1,661,156 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $22,872 or approximately 1.3% compared to $1,684,028 of operating expenses in 2016. While it would appear the operating expenses remained relatively constant period over period, consulting fees for the nine months ended September 2016 include a reduction of $383,993 in the three months ended September 30, 2016 in respect to the forgiveness of certain consulting fees recorded in the prior periods.  As a result, consulting fees appear to increase substantially period over period from $411,791 (2016) to $842,998. Office expenses and rent, professional fees, travel and research and development expenses all declined in the current nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the prior comparative nine months.  
 
Loss from Operations –  During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 we recorded losses from operations of $1,475,854 and $1,227,027, respectively.

Other expenses  - During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded losses from other expense of $22,884 and $56 respectively, as a result of interest expenses incurred.

Net Loss  - During the comparative nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company recorded net losses of $1,498,738 and $1,215,551 respectively.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
 
At September 30, 2017, we had $69,961 cash on hand, $53,564 in accounts receivables, $37,044 in other receivables, $4,365 in inventory, and prepaid expenses of $49,009 for total current assets of $213,943.  Further we had current liabilities of $1,123,028 in accounts payable and accrued expenses (including amounts due to related parties), $342,214 in advances from related parties and $47,213 in short term notes from third parties.   We had a working capital deficit of $1,298,512 as at September 30, 2017. While the Company's prosthetics and orthotics clinic in Glasgow has greatly increased its patient through-put year over year, sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2017 were substantially reduced from the comparative reporting period, and were not sufficient to cover our consolidated operational expenses.  We commenced generating revenue from commercial evaluation of our available technologies in fiscal 2016, however we had limited revenue in this segment in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 which in part contributed to our reduced revenues in the current period.  Presently we rely on our President and director, as well as private placements from qualified investors to fund our general operating expenses.   We secured loans and advances from related and unrelated parties during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $271,243 and made repayments to third parties and towards related party advances of $250,384. The Company has closed additional private placements in the amount of $547,686 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and a further $26,375 in proceeds from private placements up to the date of this report.  These amounts contribute to our ongoing operating expenses and obligations until such time as the Company can conclude a larger equity based financing, anticipated during the fiscal year 2017.

The Company expects it will need to raise a total of $5,000,000 to $15,000,000 to fund its proposed operations for the next twelve to thirty-six months, including the planned expansion of its Viocare Clinics to add up to 5 additional site locations. It intends to fund operations by a combination of related party loans, debt financing and equity placements, as well as through joint venture partnerships negotiated in our recently completed quarter. The Company is seeking equity private placements from qualified investors with which to fund operations until such time as it can secure alternate financing arrangements.  The Company is also seeking joint venture partners for its various Insole technology applications as a further means to fund ongoing commercialization efforts.

There can be no assurance that continued funding will be available on satisfactory terms.

GOING CONCERN

The Company incurred net losses of $1,498,738 and $11,215,551 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and has a retained deficit of $33,247,945 as of September 30, 2017. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,298,512 and a stockholders' deficit of $1,125,272 at September 30, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders.
 
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING

Costs associated with being a public company are much higher than those of a private company. HCi Viocare has chosen public registration before the business has developed a predictable cash flow. There are present registration expenses and future legal and accounting expenses, future reporting requirements to the SEC, future exchange listing requirements, and future investor relations costs that must be borne by a public company but not by a private company. These costs can be a burdensome expense which could adversely affect our financial survival. The ongoing regulatory costs, reporting requirements, and management details, which must be met when registering and maintaining a public company, may make the economic viability of HCi Viocare very doubtful.  In addition, the Company requires additional financing in order to continue to execute its business plan which includes the commercialization of one or more technologies, the ongoing operation of a P&O clinic in Glasgow, the opening of several additional P&O clinics in identified European markets, as well as other strategically placed P&O clinics, as well as ongoing research and development to bring new technologies to market.
 
In the past we have relied on advances from our president and private placements from accredited investors to cover our operating costs. There can be no assurance that our president will continue to fund the Company or that any other capital will be available if and when required from qualified investors.   Our need for capital may change dramatically if we acquire an interest in a business opportunity during that period which requires us to provide financing. Recently we have entered into a joint venture agreement with a third party for a series of P&O clinics in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  While the burden of the financing rests with our joint venture partner, our revenue stream from these clinics will not commence until such time as they are in operation, at which time we will commence earning management fees. Further there can be no assurance that we will identify and conclude contracts for our various technologies which will result in profitable operation. We cannot assure that we will be successful in consummating any acquisition or contracts on favorable terms or that we will be able to profitably manage any business venture we acquire. Should we require additional capital, we may seek additional advances from officers, sell common stock or find other forms of debt financing.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, and revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
 
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 4 of our financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2017.  While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business" with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. This guidance will be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" that eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, an impairment charge will be based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on Step 1 of the current goodwill impairment test). This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. This guidance will be adopted on a prospective basis.

7



In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, "Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities" that shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. This guidance will be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to materially impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The new guidance provides clarity and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The accounting standard update will be effective for The Company beginning January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In August of 2017, the FASB issued guidance to better align the financial reporting related to hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities and to simplify the application of current hedge accounting guidance. Entities are required to apply the guidance using a modified retrospective method as of the period of adoption. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Management is evaluating
 
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as "special purpose entities" (SPEs).
 
Item  3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

(a)  
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2017, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
(b)  
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 2013. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.

8


 
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, "An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements" established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of September 30, 2017:
 
1)
Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert, and no independent directors. We do not have any members of the Board who are independent directors and we do not have an audit committee. These factors may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management;
 
2)
Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;
 
Management's Remediation Initiatives

As of September 30, 2017, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that during the period covered by this report, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. During the course of our evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.

Due to a lack of financial and personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until, if ever, we acquire sufficient financing and staff to do so. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permits. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017, fairly presents our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods covered, as identified, in all material respects.
 
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and intrinsic to our small size. Management also believes that these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
