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, 2019 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

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, 2018.

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 unaudited condensed 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 fiscal year 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 during the three months ended March 31, 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 accompanying unaudited 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

PURADYN FILTER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 and its collection agency are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is defined as sales price less cost of completion, disposable and transportation and a normal profit margin. 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 approximately 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.

Sales Incentives and Consideration Paid to Customers

The Company accounts for certain promotional costs such as sales incentives and cooperative advertising as a reduction of sales.

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 2019, 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, 2019:


Balance as of December 31, 2018	$	20,000
Less: Payments made		—
Add: Provision for current period warranties		—
Balance as of March 31, 2019 (unaudited)	$	20,000

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, advertising costs incurred by the Company totaled approximately $4,670 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, 2019 and 2018, engineering and development costs incurred by the Company totaled $2,365 and $1,429, 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 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, 2019.

PURADYN FILTER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with , 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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

The Company uses ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share for calculating the basic and diluted income (loss) per share. The Company computes basic income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 12,558,336 and 3,956,412 shares, respectively, issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants, respectively.

Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company had net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2019. A separate computation of diluted earnings per share is presented using the treasury stock method and the common stock equivalents did not have any effect on net income per share.

Leases

In connection with our lease agreement for our Office in Boynton Beach, Florida, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02, Leases . As such, the Company recorded an operating right of use asset and an operating lease liability as of March 31, 2019.

Reclassifications

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Going Concern

The Company's unaudited condensed 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 sustained losses since inception Company does not have sufficient revenues and income to fully fund the operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company used net cash in operations of $229,331 and $271,757, respectively. As a result, the Company has had to rely on stockholder loans and related parties to fund its activities to date.

PURADYN FILTER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from two stockholders led the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Liggett & Webb, P.A., to include a statement in its audit report relating to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 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.

Leases

Operating right of use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating right of use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we estimate incremental secured borrowing rates corresponding to the maturities of the leases. As we have outstanding secured debt, we used the rate based on loan of 4%.

Our office lease contains rent escalations over the lease term. We recognize expense for this office lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements are recognized when earned and reduce our right-of-use asset related to the lease. These are amortized through the right-of-use asset as reductions of expense over the lease term.

The Company leases its office and warehouse facilities in Boynton Beach, Florida under a long-term non-cancellable lease agreement, which contains renewal options and rent escalation clauses. As of March 31, 2019, a security deposit of $34,970 is included in noncurrent assets in the accompanying balance sheet. On September 27, 2012 the Company entered into a non-cancellable six-year lease agreement for the same facilities commencing August 1, 2013 and expiring July 31, 2019. The total minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the current lease amount to $180,826.

On June 29, 2018, the Company entered into a non-cancellable five-year lease for the same facilities commencing August 1, 2019 and expiring July 31, 2024. The lease will require an initial rent of $14,899 per month, beginning August 1, 2019 for the first year, increasing by 3% per year to $16,769 per month in the fifth year. In addition, the Company is responsible for all operating expenses and utilities. As part of the lease the landlord agreed to reimburse the Company $58,000 towards the replacement of air conditioning units, upon written request. As of December 31, 2018 the Company had received all of the reimbursement.

In September 2018, the Company entered into a new capital lease for office equipment in the amount of $559, which commenced in December 2018 for a term of 48 months.

Deferred Compensation

Deferred compensation represents amounts owed to two current employees and two former employees for salary. As there is no written agreement with these employees which memorializes the terms of salary deferral, only a voluntary election to do so, it is possible that the employees could demand payment in full at any time. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded deferred compensation of $1,502,823 and $1,564,253, respectively.

Notes Payable to Stockholders – Related Party

On March 28, 2002 the Company executed a binding agreement with one of its principal stockholders, who is also the Executive Chairman of the Board, to fund up to $6.1 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company can draw amounts as needed to fund operations. Amounts drawn bear interest at the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus 1.4 percentage points (4.01% and 3.678% per annum at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively), payable monthly and were to become due and payable on December 31, 2005 or upon a change in control of the Company or the consummation of any other financing over $7.0 million. 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.

On March 25, 2019 we entered into a note exchange agreement with our Executive Chairman pursuant to which he exchanged $7,989,622 of principal and $395,510 of accrued interest which would have been due on December 31, 2019 under an unsecured loan for a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $8,385,132. The secured note which matures on December 31, 2021, and bears interest at 4% per annum, payable monthly, is secured by a first position security interest in our assets.

From January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019, the Company received additional loans in the amount of $275,000 from the Company’s Executive Chairman, as advances for working capital needs. The loans bear interest at the BBA Libor Daily Floating Rate plus 1.4 points. As of March 31, 2019 the total balance due was $600,000.

In January 7, 2019, the Company received an additional loan in the amount of $25,000 from a stockholder and former member of the Board of Directors. The loan bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum and is due January 7, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred interest expense of $84,939 and $74,673, respectively, on its loan from the Executive Chairman of the Board, which is included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed statements of operations, as well as interest expense of $288 and $308 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to the loan from a former Board member.

Stock Options and Warrants

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $13,930 and $10,341, relating to employee stock options and warrants issued for consulting services.

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 . The related expense is recognized over the period the services are provided. Unrecognized expense remaining at March 31, 2019 and 2018 for the options is $110,662 and $4,027, respectively, and will be recognized through June 30, 2021.

On April 12, 2018 the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a 2018 Equity Compensation Plan. The Company has reserved 20,000,000 shares of our common stock for grants under this plan.

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 designates a different vesting schedule.

OVERVIEW

Our company

We design, manufacture, market and distribute worldwide the Puradyn® bypass oil filtration system for use with substantially all internal combustion engines and hydraulic equipment that use lubricating oil. Working in conjunction with the equipment’s primary oil filter, the Puradyn system cleans oil by providing a second circuit of oil filtration and treatment to continually remove solid and liquid contaminants from the oil through a sophisticated and unique filtration and absorption process. The Puradyn system consists of a base filtration unit or housing that is connected via hoses or steel tubing to the engine or hydraulic system, along with filter elements that reside inside the filtration unit and are replaced periodically to maintain top performance. We believe that our filter is unique in that it incorporates an additive package to replenish depleted base additive levels in engine lubricating oil. Because Puradyn -filtered lubricating oil is kept in a continually clean state and within engine manufacturers’ specification, our system has been used effectively to safely and significantly extend oil-drain intervals and to extend the time between engine overhauls.

Our core product, the patented Puradyn bypass oil filtration system, is offered in two primary applications, MTS engine systems and custom-engineered MTS hydraulic systems, which can be attached to almost any engine or hydraulic application. All Puradyn systems are compatible with virtually all standard and synthetic oils on the market, and they work with engines using gasoline, diesel, propane or natural gas. We are also the sole manufacturer and provider of Puradyn replacement filter elements for the Puradyn system. Our products are marketed to numerous industries that include hydraulic applications, and other users of engines or equipment that utilize up to 50 weight oil for lubrication. 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 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. MNI Diesel, LLC (MNI) joined the Puradyn distributor network in 2012, and in August 2018, they became the exclusive distributor of Puradyn products to the commercial marine industry for the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys and the U.S. Gulf Coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. In addition to the DNOW network and MNI, 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. Today our products are found around the world in a number of industries, including oil and gas, power generation, construction and forestry, commercial marine, mining, and transportation.

First quarter of 2019 business highlights


	·	Revenues in the quarter were negatively impacted by decisions from a few customers to delay orders of new systems beginning in early November 2018 and continuing through the first quarter, due to the market uncertainty driven by a precipitous drop and slow rebound in oil prices and equity shares overall during that period,

	·	The delay of one single customer’s order of new systems, which would have fulfilled the second half of their order that began in the fourth quarter of 2018, represents almost the entire difference in sales between this quarter and the same period in 2018.

	·	Filter sales were lower compared to the first quarter of 2018 due to two customers who were replenishing filter inventories with large orders in early 2018 and rig count declines that began in the fourth quarter of 2018 and are not expected to rebound until later in the second quarter of this year.

	·	Despite the lower than expected sales recognized this quarter, we believe we continue to make progress in engaging many more prospective customers across the pressure pumping and midstream categories within oil and gas, and we believe the stabilization of the oil and gas industry in the second quarter will result in more trials and eventual roll-outs.

Key strategies:

During the balance of 2019 we will continue to focus our sales and marketing efforts on:


	·	Further adoption of Puradyn in the pressure pumping and midstream/pipeline segments of the oil and gas industry;

	·	Increased marketing focus on the commercial marine segment, with focus on geographies not currently covered by MNI; and

	·	Further expansion in key international markets through new and existing distributors.

In addition, from an operating standpoint we are placing additional emphasis on:


	·	Managing materials costs and preparing for any impacts from new tariffs;

	·	Restructuring our distributor network and pricing levels; and

	·	Optimizing operating capacity and efficiency.

Outlook

We attribute the decrease in sales in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the three months then ended in 2018 to a few customers delaying orders due to the rapid decline of market certainty, especially in the oil and gas segment, that began in December 2018 and continued through the first quarter. Nevertheless, we continue to engage more prospective customers than we have had traditionally. Evaluations continue to increase, however these can run between 3 and 12 months. Our focus on the pressure pumping and midstream segments, both of which we believe may provide double the opportunity of our existing land rig business, will be supported by expanded marketing efforts through our DNOW relationship and the sharing of positive results by early adopters, such as Legend Energy Services who proceeded to make Puradyn standard on their entire fleet of pressure pumping engines within a few months of beginning testing in 2018. We believe our efforts to drive further growth in the commercial marine segment will be led by MNI Diesel, who is our exclusive distributor along the U.S. Gulf Coast and up through the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys. MNI has installed hundreds of Puradyn systems and has witnessed their performance first hand, which makes them a very credible advocate. MNI’s customers have experienced oil life extensions of more than 5 times, saving an average of $7,000 annually per vessel.

The applicability of Puradyn bypass filtration to a wide range of industrial engine uses and hydraulic systems is becoming clearer, and people responsible for the maintenance and cost mitigation of this machinery are increasingly interested in the proven results of our systems.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table provides certain selected financial information for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.01	)	$	(0.00	)		900	%

Gross profit

Our gross profit margins for the first quarter of 2019 decreased from 43% in the first quarter of 2018 to 32% in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in our gross profit margins in the first quarter of 2019 is attributable to reduced facility utilization due to decreased sales which was partial offset by a decrease in the reserve for slow moving inventory of $40,537 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 We have been advised by several of our suppliers that prices for various raw materials are being increased as a result of the loss of some of their primary suppliers and higher prices with their secondary suppliers and the unknown impact of recently enacted tariffs by the current administration. However, we are exploring and implementing measures to help mitigate the impact on our costs. We notified our customers of pricing increases effective October 1, 2018 which varied by product, and we will continue to review cost of materials increases and adopt further pricing action in the future as warranted.

Total operating costs

Our total operating costs which include salaries and wages and selling and administrative expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 due to primarily to the hiring of our new CEO in May 2018. The additional expense was offset by the decision not fill a position vacated voluntarily and the impact of two employees who are now being paid only from deferred compensation. The increases in selling and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2019 from the comparable period in 2018 is also attributable to increases in non-cash expenses associated with stock compensation to employees and our decision to restart targeted advertising. We anticipate that our selling and administration expenses will increase slightly throughout 2019, inclusive of communication costs, office supplies, and other components of administrative expenses.

Total other expense, net

Total other expense, net represents interest we pay to related parties on amounts advanced to us for working capital.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had cash on hand of $175,303 and a working capital deficit of $1,648,300 at March 31, 2019 as compared to cash on hand of $112,769 and a working capital deficit $1,603,639 at December 31, 2018. Our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was .46 to 1 at March 31, 2019 as compared to .45 to 1 at December 31, 2018. The increase in negative working capital is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable and an increases in accounts payable and operating lease liabilities which were offset by decreases in accrued liabilities and deferred compensation and increase in inventory. We do not currently have any commitments for capital expenditures.

Historically, we have been materially reliant on working capital advances from our Executive Chairman to address our liquidity and working capital issues through the utilization of the borrowing agreement with him. On March 25, 2019 we entered into a note exchange agreement with our Executive Chairman pursuant to which he exchanged $7,989,622 of principal and $395,510 of accrued interest which was due on December 31, 2019 under an unsecured loan for a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $8,385,132. The note, which matures on December 31, 2021, bears interest at 4% per annum, payable monthly, and is secured by a first position security interest in our assets. In addition, we owe him $600,000 for other working capital advances which are due on demand.

We also owe certain of our employees $1,502,823 and $1,564,253, respectively, in deferred cash compensation at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which represents 49% and 54%, respectively, of our current liabilities on that date. These current and former employees agreed to defer a portion of their compensation to assist us in managing our cash flow and working capital needs. As there is no written agreement with these current and former employees which memorializes the terms of salary deferral, only an election to do so, it is possible these individuals 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.

Our net sales are not sufficient to pay our operating expenses. Our capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including our ability to internally grow our revenues, manage our business and control our expenses. 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, and the amount of debt due to our Executive Chairman. He is not obligated to lend us any additional funds and the amounts we owe him, which are secured by our assets, mature in December 2021. He has advised us that he does not expect to continue to provide working capital advances to the Company at historic levels. Given our history of losses and debt levels, we face a number of challenges in our ability to raise capital. If we do not significantly increase our net sales or raise funds as needed, our ability to provide for current working capital needs, pay our obligations as they become due, grow our company, and continue our existing business and operations is in jeopardy. In this event, we would no longer be able to continue as a going concern and you could lose all of your investment in our company.

Summary cash flows


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
	(unaudited)			(unaudited)

Net cash (used) by operating activities	$	(229,331	)	$	(271,757	)
Net cash (used) by investing activities	$	(8,135	)	$	(20,192	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	300,000		$	237,511

During the first three months of 2019 net cash used by our operating activities was principally related to increases in inventory, which were offset by reduced accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and an increase in accounts payable. The increases in inventory and accounts payable were a result of the Company’s expected increase in sales and timing of receiving raw materials. During the first three months of 2018, cash used by operating activities was primarily used to fund our net loss together with increases in accounts receivable and inventories and decreases in sales incentives and deferred compensation were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

During the first three months of 2019 and 2018, net cash used by investing activities represented capitalized patent costs and purchases of equipment.

During the first three months of 2019 and 2018, net cash provided by financing activities represented loans from related parties, net of capital lease payments.

Going concern

Our unaudited condensed 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 since inception and have relied on loans from related parties to fund our operations. The Company does not have sufficient revenues and income to fund the 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, 2018 and 2017 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 continue to generate profitable operations in the future.

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 unaudited condensed 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 our unaudited condensed financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

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 principal financial and accounting 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, 2019 (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 principal financial and accounting 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 principal financial and accounting 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.
