the significant amount of deferred compensation owed to two of our executive officers and one other employee and our ability to pay these amounts,

our ability to protect our intellectual property, and the potential impact of expiring patents on our business in future periods,

anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law and our Board's ability to issue preferred stock without stockholder consent,

potential dilution to our stockholders from the exercise of outstanding options and warrants,

the lack of sufficient liquidity in the market for our common stock, and

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

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 period ended March 31, 2018 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

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, 2017.

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. 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.

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Topic 606 which was adopted at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the effect was immaterial. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Statements of Operations in the first quarter of 2018.

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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, because of their short-term natures.

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 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.

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 three months ended March 31, 2018, 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 three-months ended March 31, 2018:


Balance as of December 31, 2017	$	20,000
Less: Payments made		—
Add: Provision for current period warranties		—
Balance as of March 31, 2018 (unaudited)	$	20,000

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, advertising costs incurred by the Company totaled approximately $0, and $0, respectively, and are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

Engineering and Development

Engineering and development costs are expensed as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, engineering and development costs incurred by the Company totaled $1,429 and $1,575, 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, 2017 has been recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

PURADYN FILTER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

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.

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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 15 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 3,956,412 and 4,522,662 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Reclassifications

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605, "Revenue Recognition." This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, and allowed entities the option to early adopt the new revenue standard as of the original effective date. There have been multiple standards updates amending this guidance or providing corrections or improvements on issues in the guidance. The requirements for these standards relating to Topic 606 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard permitted adoption using one of two transition methods, either the retrospective or modified retrospective transition method.

PURADYN FILTER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

The Company adopted these standards at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Statements of Operations in the first quarter of 2018.

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 $271,757 and $141,059 during the three-months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As a result, the Company has had to rely principally on the conversion of debt into stock as well as stockholder loans to fund its activities to date.

These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from a current stockholder 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, 2017 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.

Deferred Compensation

Deferred compensation represents amounts owed to four employees for salary. As there is no written agreement with these employees which memorializes the terms of the salary deferral, only a voluntary election to do so. It is possible that the employees could demand payment in full at any time. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recorded deferred compensation of $1,574,952 and $1,626,003, respectively.

Sales Incentives

The Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement for the worldwide rights to sell its product in the oil and gas industry effective September 7, 2017. An incentive program was used to compensate the distributor for the difference between the price of product currently being charged by PFTI offered to the distributor for the oil and gas industry and the applicable distributor price currently available. The incentive, in the form of credits toward future product, is redeemable only if targeted quarterly goals are achieved. If the goals are not achieved the credits will be carried forward and are redeemable when the quarterly goals are achieved. Targeted quarterly goals, if achieved, represent an aggregate of approximately $4 million in sales revenue between August 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018. Sales under the agreement amount to $936,193 for the period from August 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018.

As of March 31, 2018 management determined it would not be possible for distributor to achieve its sales goals by June 30, 2018. Since the distributor would not be able to earn these credits the Company is no longer accruing any amounts under this agreement. As of March 31, 2018 the Company recognized $99,128 of amounts previously offset into revenue in the current period. As of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a credit toward future product of $99,128 and $0, respectively.

Amounts drawn bear interest at the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus 1.4 percentage points (3.678% and 3.616% per annum at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively), payable monthly and were to become due and payable on December 31, 2005 or upon a change in control of the Company or consummation of any other financing over $7.0 million. Beginning in March 2006, annually, through February 2012, the maturity date for the agreement was extended annually from December 31, 2007, to December 31, 2018. On May 9, 2018 he extended the maturity rate to December 31, 2019.

Subsequent Events

On May 9, 2018 the Company’s Chairman and CEO extended the maturity date on his loans to December 31, 2019.

On April 12, 2018 the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a 2018 Equity Compensation Plan. The Company has reserved 10,000,000 shares of our common stock for grants under this plan. Effective April 30, 2018 our Chairman and CEO voluntarily cancelled the grant on April 12, 2018 of options awarded him to purchase an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares of the common stock of Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated at an exercise price of $0.0208 per share.

The 2018 Plan provides for the granting of both incentive and non-qualified stock options to key personnel, including officers, directors, consultants and advisors to the Company, at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Each plan limits the exercise price of the options at no less than the quoted market price of the common stock on the date of grant. The option term is determined by the Board of the Directors, provided that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an Incentive Option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the Company’s common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant. Generally, under both plans, options to employees vest over three years at 33.33% per annum unless the Board of Directors designate a different vesting schedule.

ITEM 2.

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

You should read the following discussion together with our audited financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical financial information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Actual results could differ from these expectations as a result of factors including those described under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

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. Developing market acceptance for the Company’s existing and proposed products requires substantial marketing and sales efforts and the expenditure of a significant amount of funds to inform customers of the perceived benefits and cost advantages of its products. We continue to market our product and its benefits through direct contact efforts with our distributors, direct customers, and original equipment manufacturers.

We focus our sales strategy on individual sales and distribution efforts as well as on the development of a global distribution network that will not only sell, but also install and support our product. DistributionNow (DNOW) joined the Puradyn distributor network earlier in 2016 and became exclusive distributor for the oil and gas industry in September 2017. With 300 locations worldwide, DNOW provides the potential to reach to new markets and customers which we would otherwise not be able to effectively reach, and consistently support our product on a global basis.

In addition to the DNOW network, we currently have approximately 45 distributors and dealers and manufacturer representatives that sell and/or service the Puradyn system in the U.S. and internationally.

While we believe that the initial rollout of the product through the DNOW distribution channel has been extremely encouraging and these opportunities have led to new orders and evaluations in 2017, there are no assurances we will be able to increase sales in 2018 or that sales to DNOW will meet the targeted revenue goals described elsewhere in this report.

Our marketing efforts target industries and potential customers open to innovative methods to protect their high-value engine assets, to reduce oil maintenance costs, to reduce engine overhaul costs, and to reduce engine downtime. We believe that these businesses are searching for new and progressive ways to better maintain their equipment, including bypass oil filtration. While this is a long-term and ongoing process, we believe we have achieved a degree of product acceptance based on the expansion of existing relationships we have with Nabors Industries, Inc., DNOW, and other end-users and distributors.

Net sales increased as a number of customers are now resuming production after having been negatively impacted since 2015 by the volatility in oil prices. 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 renewed activity in targeted market segments we began to see in 2016 continued throughout 2017. The price of NYMEX (WTI) crude oil has steadily increased from the mid-30s range in 2016 to the mid-$60s range per barrel through the first fiscal quarter of 2018. We believe that a continued and steady rise in oil prices will reflect positively on our product sales. Based on industry intelligence from oil field services firm Baker Hughes as published online weekly on its website, U.S. rig count increased 31% from March 2017 through March 2018. If this trend continues, it is expected to better support product replacement filter sales in 2018 as rigs continue to return to service. Additionally, some international customers may be impacted by currency volatility relative to the US dollar, political climate, and general economic, business, and competitive conditions.

Our net sales do not generate sufficient gross margins to pay our operating expenses. Historically, we have been materially reliant on working capital advances from our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to address our liquidity and working capital issues through the utilization of the borrowing agreement with him. During 2017 we borrowed an additional net amount of $875,000 from him, and at December 31, 2017 we owed him approximately $8 million, net of a debt conversion in the fourth quarter of 2016. He has also advanced us an additional $200,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The loan, which is unsecured, matures on December 31, 2018. On May 9, 2018 he extended the maturity rate to December 31, 2019. We do not have the funds to satisfy these obligations. While he has continued to fund our working capital needs and extend the due date of the obligation, he is under no contractual obligation to do so. During 2017 he advised us he does not expect to continue to provide working capital advances to us at historic amounts. If we are unable to meet our obligation to Mr. Vittoria prior to maturity, he has advised us that he may forgive all, or substantially all, of this obligation. However, he is under no obligation to do so.

We also owe certain of our employees $1,574,952 and $1,626,003, respectively in deferred cash compensation at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, which represents 15% and 16%, respectively of our current liabilities on that date. Since 2005, Messrs. Sandler and Kroger, two of our executive officers, and one other employee have deferred 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 an election to do so, it is possible the employees could demand payment in full at any time or elect to no longer defer their salaries, or reduce the amount they currently defer. We do not have sufficient funds to satisfy these obligations.

We do not have any external sources of liquidity at this time, and our discussions over the past few years with third parties for potential investments have not been successful. We historically have encountered resistance from potential investors on a variety of fronts, including our operating losses, declining revenues and as a result of the amount of debt due Mr. Vittoria. In an effort to improve our ability to raise capital, on November 11, 2016 he 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 paths in our efforts to raise working capital upon terms acceptable to our company. To date, such has not been the case although we have continued to discuss financing options with a number of sources. If we are unable to significantly increase our sales, or if we are not able to borrow or raise additional investment capital, we may have to further 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 2018. There can be no assurance we will be able to raise additional capital or that sales will increase to the level required to break even or generate profitable operations to provide positive cash flow from operations. In the event we are unable to secure needed capital, we would be unable to continue our operations and it is likely that 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, 2017 and 2016 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 financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Information concerning recently issued accounting pronouncements is set forth in Note 1 of our Notes to Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

Net Sales. Net sales increased 29% during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to March 31, 2017. Domestic sales represented 80% and 83% of net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 international sales represented 20 % and 17%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales. The increase in sales is mainly attributable to orders for filters from a large customer and the reversal of a previous sales credit of $99,128 recorded for a distributor. While the agreement has accelerated multiple discussions with prospective customers and incremental sales are expected to continue, as of March 31, 2018 management determined it would not be possible for the distributor to achieve it sales goals by June 30, 2018. Since the distributor would not be able to earn these credits the Company is no longer accruing any amounts under this agreement. As of March 31, 2018 the Company recognized $99,128 of amounts previously offset, into revenue in the current period.

Cost of Products Sold. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased from 35% for three months ended March 31, 2017 to 57% for three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in gross profit was attributable to the reversal of a sales credits of $91,044 of previous sales credits recorded to DNOW.

We continue to review cost of materials increases, some of which were passed through to our customers as product price increases in 2018. With the exception of our exclusivity with DNOW which defines a set level of pricing through December 2018, price increases can be passed on to our distributors and customers with timely notice.

Total Operating Costs. Total operating costs decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compare to three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 salaries and wages, as a percentage of sales, were 28% and 31%, respectively as a result of staffing reductions. Management does not anticipate any material changes in salaries and wages at the current level of sales and anticipates only nominal hiring would be required to support increased sales to OEM and niche industry targets.

Selling and Administrative Expenses . Selling and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 5% during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 which are attributable to reduction in expenses associated with stock compensation to employees, reduced professional fees, and reduced rent, which were partial offset by increased travel. We anticipate that our selling and administration expenses will remain at the same level in 2018 as 2017. Other Expenses represents various expenses including communication costs, office supplies and other components of administrative expenses.

Interest Expense Interest expense increased 17% in during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 as a result of increased borrowings in 2018. 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 3.678% for the first quarter of 2018 as compared to an 3.616% for the first quarter of 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2018, we had negative working capital of $1,344,604 and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was .41 to 1. As of December 31, 2017, we had cash of $54,438. and a negative working capital of $9,470,970 and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was .08 to 1. The decrease in negative working capital is primarily attributable to our chairman extending the maturity date of his loans to December 31, 2019, increases in inventory and accounts receivable and decreases in deferred compensation and sales incentives which were offset by decrease in cash and increase in accounts payable. We do not currently have any commitments for capital expenditures.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $271,757 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compare to $141,059 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. In both periods, we principally used cash to fund our net losses. Other period to period changes included increases in inventory and accounts receivable and decrease in deferred compensation which was offset by increases in accounts payable.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities during three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to three months ended March 31, 2017 was $20,192 compared to $2,575, respectively the majority of the investing activity related to capitalized patent costs.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $237,511 for three months ended March 31, 2018 which was composed of $200,000 in loans from our stockholders as well as an increase in cash overdrafts of $38,499 which was partially offset by payment of $938 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities was $149,061 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, which was composed of $200,000 in loans from our stockholders as described above, repayment of loan from a member of the Board of Directors, totaling $50,000 and $939 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 March 31, 2018 (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.
