Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations
BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Stem Pearls, LLC (“Stem Pearls”). Stem Cell Cayman Ltd. (“Cayman”), which was formed in the Cayman Islands as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was dissolved during the three months ended March 31, 2017. BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to collectively as “BRT” or the “Company” (See Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Principles of Consolidation). BRT develops therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. BRT’s website is at www.biorestorative.com. BRT is currently developing a Disc/Spine Program referred to as “brtxDISC”. Its lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a person’s own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patient’s bone marrow. The product is intended to be used for the non-surgical treatment of protruding and bulging lumbar discs in patients suffering from chronic lumbar disc disease. BRT is also engaging in research efforts with respect to a platform technology utilizing brown adipose (fat) for therapeutic purposes to treat type 2 diabetes, obesity and other metabolic disorders and has labeled this initiative its ThermoStem Program. Through the program, BRT is developing a cell-based therapy to target type 2 diabetes, obesity and other metabolic disorders using brown adipose (fat) derived stem cells to generate brown adipose tissue (“BAT”). BAT is intended to mimic naturally occurring brown adipose depots that regulate metabolic homeostasis in humans. Further, BRT has licensed a patented curved needle device that is a needle system designed to deliver cells and/or other therapeutic products or material to the spine and discs. BRT has developed a human cellular extract that has been demonstrated in in vitro studies to increase the production of collagen and fibronectin, which are proteins that are essential to combating the aging of cells. BRT offers plant stem cell-based facial creams and beauty products under the Stem Pearl brand.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2017 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2017 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on March 22, 2017.
Note 2 – Going Concern and Management’s Plans
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency and a stockholders’ deficiency of $6,947,637 and $5,715,044, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred net losses of $2,747,183 and $5,532,937, respectively. These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve months from the filing date of this report.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been equity and debt financings. The Company intends to continue to raise additional capital through debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request the Company may make, the Company’s debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.

Note 2 – Going Concern and Management’s Plans – Continued
Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company has received aggregate debt proceeds of $250,000, debt and accrued interest of $120,963 and $7,006, respectively, has been converted into or exchanged for common stock, and the due date for the repayment of $1,007,250 of debt has been extended to dates between October 2017 and February 2018. As a result, the Company expects to have the cash required to fund its operations through September 2017. While there can be no assurance that it will be successful, the Company is in negotiations to raise additional capital. As of the filing date of this report, the Company has notes payable with an aggregate principal balance of $382,500 which are past due. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating extensions or discussing conversions to equity with respect to these notes. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in extending or converting these notes. See Note 8 – Subsequent Events for additional details.
Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Cayman and Stem Pearls. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. As discussed above, Cayman, which had no material assets, liabilities or operations (other than intercompany balances) and is no longer needed to facilitate certain financings, was dissolved in March 2017.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, warrants issued in connection with notes payable and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Concentrations
One license and the related royalties comprised substantially all of the Company’s revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. See Revenue Recognition below.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s policy is to recognize product sales when the risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer, after estimating potential returns. The Company recognizes sublicensing and royalty revenue when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the service is completed without further obligation, (iii) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not recognize revenue related to sales of Stem Pearls skincare products. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized revenue related to sales of Stem Pearls skincare products of $155 and $280, respectively.
In November 2015, the Company and a stem cell treatment company (“SCTC”) entered into an amendment to a January 27, 2012 license agreement between them. Pursuant to the amendment, effective November 30, 2015, the Company granted to the SCTC a non-exclusive sublicense to use, and the right to sublicense to third parties the right to use, in certain locations in the United States, certain intellectual property related to stem cell disc procedures (that originally was licensed to the Company by the SCTC pursuant to the January 27, 2012 license agreement). In consideration of the sublicense, the SCTC has agreed to pay the Company royalties on a per disc procedure basis. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized $20,000 and $27,000, respectively, of revenue related to the Company’s sublicense agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized $16,000 and $25,000, respectively, of revenue related to the Company’s sublicense agreement.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:
June 30, | ||||||||
2017 | 2016 | |||||||
Options | 3,018,700 | 2,160,950 | ||||||
Warrants | 3,592,831 | 2,486,286 | ||||||
Convertible notes | 276,943 | 90,297 | ||||||
Total potentially dilutive shares | 6,888,474 | 4,737,533 |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Since the shares underlying the Company’s 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) are registered, the Company estimates the fair value of the awards granted under the Plan based on the market value of its freely tradable common stock as reported on the OTCQB market. The fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices of both restricted shares and freely tradable shares. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees. Upon the exercise of an option or warrant, the Company issues new shares of common stock out of its authorized shares.

Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides clarity on the accounting for modifications of stock-based awards. ASU 2017-09 requires adoption on a prospective basis in the annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 for share-based payment awards modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated cash flows and related disclosures.

Warrant Compensation
On April 5, 2017, the Company extended, a previously expired agreement with a consultant from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017. In connection with this extension, the Company issued a five-year immediately vested warrant to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share. The warrant grant date fair value of $30,440 was recognized immediately as stock-based compensation expense which is reflected as consulting expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Warrant and Option Valuation
The Company has computed the fair value of warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual option forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material. The Company estimated forfeitures related to option grants at an annual rate ranging from 0% to 5% for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The expected term used for warrants and options issued to non-employees is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued to employees and directors is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

The Company will recognize the beneficial conversion feature of the note as debt discount at the time the contingently adjustable conversion ratio is resolved.
Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company elected to convert certain convertible notes with an aggregate principal balance of $120,963 and accrued interest of $7,006 into an aggregate of 68,239 shares of common stock at conversion prices ranging from $1.75 to $1.92 per share.
Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company and the Trust agreed to extend the maturity date of a note payable with a principal balance of $500,000 from July 1, 2017 to December 1, 2017 (subject to acceleration under certain circumstances). In connection with the note extension, the Company increased the effective rate at which the note bears interest from 10% to 15% effective July 1, 2017. In connection with the $175,000 Loan, the Company agreed that the payment of the note is secured by the grant of a security interest in the Company’s equipment and intellectual property.
Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company and a lender agreed to extend the maturity dates of notes payable with an aggregate principal balance of $457,250 with maturity dates ranging from July 3, 2017 through July 4, 2017 to maturity dates ranging from October 1, 2017 through October 2, 2017. In connection with the note extensions, the Company increased the effective rate at which the notes bear interest from 0% to 8% effective August 2, 2017. Also, in connection with the note extensions, the Company added a conversion feature, pursuant to which each payment of principal and the respective accrued interest is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the lender any time immediately until the balance has been paid in full at a conversion price equal to 80% of the fair market value of the Company’s stock (subject to reduction to 70% under certain circumstances); however, in no event shall the conversion price be less than $1.00 per share. The Company will recognize the beneficial conversion feature of the note as debt discount at the time the contingently adjustable conversion ratio is resolved.
Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company and a director of the Company agreed to extend the maturity date of a note payable with a principal balance of $50,000 from February 2017 to February 2018. In connection with the extension, the Company issued the director five-year, immediately vested warrants to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share.

Overview
We develop therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult (non-embryonic) stem cells. We are currently pursuing our Disc/Spine Program with our initial therapeutic product being called BRTX-100. We have obtained a license to use technology for adult stem cell treatment of disc and spine conditions, including protruding and bulging lumbar discs. The technology is an advanced stem cell injection procedure that may offer relief from lower back pain, buttock and leg pain, and numbness and tingling in the legs and feet. We are also developing our ThermoStem Program. This pre-clinical program involves the use of brown adipose (fat) in connection with the cell-based treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity as well as hypertension, other metabolic disorders and cardiac deficiencies. A United States patent related to the ThermoStem Program was issued in September 2015, and an Australian patent related to the ThermoStem Program was issued in August 2017.
We have licensed a patented curved needle device that is a needle system designed to deliver cells and/or other therapeutic products or materials to the spine and discs. We also offer stem cell derived cosmetic and skin care products.
Our offices are located in Melville, New York where we have established a laboratory facility in order to increase our capabilities for the further development of possible cellular-based treatments, products and protocols, stem cell-related intellectual property and translational research applications.
As of June 30, 2017, our accumulated deficit was $47,492,735, our stockholders’ deficiency was $5,715,044 and our working capital deficiency was $6,947,637. We have historically only generated a modest amount of revenue, and our losses have principally been operating expenses incurred in research and development, marketing and promotional activities in order to commercialize our products and services, plus costs associated with meeting the requirements of being a public company. We expect to continue to incur substantial costs for these activities over at least the next year.
21 |
Based upon our working capital deficiency as of June 30, 2017 and our forecast for continued operating losses, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. As of June 30, 2017, our outstanding debt of $2,654,062, together with interest at rates ranging between 0% and 15% per annum, was due on various dates through February 2018. Subsequent to June 30, 2017 and through the filing date of this report, we have received aggregate debt proceeds of $250,000, debt and accrued interest of $120,963 and $7,006, respectively, has been converted into or exchanged for common stock, and the due date for the repayment of $1,007,250 of debt has been extended from July 2017 to dates between October 2017 and February 2018. Giving effect to the above actions, we currently have notes payable aggregating $382,500 which are past due. Based upon our working capital deficiency and outstanding debt, we expect to be able to fund our operations through September 2017. We will require additional funding to repay our outstanding debt ($2,654,062 as of June 30, 2017) (assuming that no debt is converted into equity) and fund general operations. We anticipate that we will require approximately $10,000,000 in financing to commence and complete a Phase 2 clinical trial using BRTX-100. We anticipate that we will require approximately $30,000,000 in further additional funding to complete our clinical trials using BRTX-100 (assuming the receipt of no revenues). We will also require a substantial amount of additional funding if we determine to establish a manufacturing operation with regard to our Disc/Spine Program (as opposed to utilizing a third-party manufacturer) and to implement our other programs, including our metabolic ThermoStem Program. No assurance can be given that the anticipated amounts of required funding are correct or that we will be able to accomplish our goals within the timeframes projected. In addition, no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain any required financing on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise.
We are currently seeking several different financing alternatives to support our future operations and are currently in the process of negotiating extensions or discussing conversions to equity with respect to our outstanding indebtedness. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request we may make, our debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, we may have to curtail our development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we generated $16,000 of royalty revenue in connection with our sublicense agreement and $155 of sales of Stem Pearls skincare products.
Cost of sales
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, cost of sales was $0 as compared to $71 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, cost of sales consisted of the costs of the underlying Stem Pearls skincare products.
23 |
Marketing and promotion
Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, entertainment and travel expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, marketing and promotion expenses decreased by $9,125, or 50%, from $18,178 to $9,053 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.
We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization of our products and services.
Consulting
Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, consulting expenses increased $325,303, or 59%, from $550,006 to $875,309, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to an approximately $319,000 increase in consultant stock-based compensation expense related to options granted to directors and an increase of approximately $8,000 in other cash consulting fees.
Research and development
Research and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Vice President of Research and Development; (b) our Scientific Advisory Board members; (c) our President, Disc/Spine Division (who left the Company on July 24, 2017); and (d) laboratory staff and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives. Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, research and development expenses increased by $2,037, or 0%, from $608,688 to $610,725, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily a result of approximately $31,000 of stock-based compensation expense related to options granted to our Vice President of Research and Development, our Scientific Advisory Board members, our President, Disc/Spine Division and laboratory staff, an increase of approximately $22,000 of laboratory fees due to a ramp up in activities in building of a lab, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $28,000 of medical supplies in connection with a previous stock up of supplies pending lab development and a decrease of $22,000 related to the reversal of previously accrued 2016 bonus that is no longer probable to be achieved.
We expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the continuation of the aforementioned initiatives.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees (excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of (a) our Vice President of Research and Development; (b) our President, Disc/Spine Division; and (c) our laboratory staff) as well as corporate support expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy related expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, general and administrative expenses increased by $111,570, or 11%, from $982,358 to $1,093,928, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase is primarily related to approximately $34,000 in stock-based compensation to employees and our Chief Executive Officer and an increase in professional fees of approximately $75,000 related to legal services rendered in connection with patent applications.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.
Interest expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, interest expense increased $50,395, or 112%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was due to an increase in interest-bearing short-term borrowings as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Amortization of debt discount
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, amortization of debt discount increased $18,719, or 29%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the timing of the recognition of expense related to the beneficial conversion features of convertible notes.
24 |
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of notes payable
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of notes payable of $1,402, which is associated with investors’ exchanges of debt into equity securities, as compared to a loss on extinguishment of notes payable of $4,813 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Consulting
Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, consulting expenses increased $504,631, or 60%, from $834,813 to $1,339,444, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to an approximately $474,000 increase in consultant stock-based compensation expense related to options granted to directors and consultants and a $13,000 increase in other cash consulting fees.
Research and development
Research and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Vice President of Research and Development; (b) our Scientific Advisory Board members; (c) our President, Disc/Spine Division (who left the Company on July 24, 2017); and (d) laboratory staff and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives. Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, research and development expenses decreased by $58,154, or 4%, from $1,474,732 to $1,416,578, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily as a result of an approximately $245,000 decrease in costs related to a third party laboratory associated with the completion of our animal study for our disc/spine initiative, partially offset by approximately $182,000 of stock-based compensation expense in connection with the repricing of options granted to our Vice President of Research and Development, our Scientific Advisory Board members, our President, Disc/Spine Division and laboratory staff.
We expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the continuation of the aforementioned initiatives.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees (excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of (a) our Vice President of Research and Development; (b) our President, Disc/Spine Division; and (c) our laboratory staff) as well as corporate support expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy related expenses.

The increase is primarily related to approximately $272,000 in stock-based compensation to employees and our Chief Executive Officer, and an increase in professional fees of approximately $88,000 related to legal services rendered in connection with patent applications.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.
26 |
Interest expense
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, interest expense increased $105,356, or 120%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was due to an increase in interest-bearing short-term borrowings as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Amortization of debt discount
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, amortization of debt discount decreased $185,560, or 46%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of the recognition of expense related to the beneficial conversion features of convertible notes.
Loss on extinguishment of notes payable
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of notes payable of $59,938, which is associated with investors’ exchanges of debt into equity securities, as compared to a loss on extinguishment of notes payable of $16,660 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Warrant modification expense
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded expense related to the modification of the exercise prices of certain outstanding warrants of $4,500 and $28,486, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:
June 30, 2017 | December 31, 2016 | |||||||
Cash | $ | 1,891 | $ | 31,822 | ||||
Working Capital Deficiency | $ | (6,947,637 | ) | $ | (5,771,460 | ) | ||
Notes Payable (Gross) | $ | 2,654,062 | $ | 2,336,565 |
Availability of Additional Funds
Based upon our working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $6,947,637 and $5,715,044, respectively, as of June 30, 2017, we require additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve months from the date of this filing.
As of June 30, 2017, our outstanding debt of $2,654,062, together with interest at rates ranging between 0% and 15% per annum, was due on various dates through February 2018. Subsequent to June 30, 2017 and through the filing date of this report, we have received aggregate debt proceeds of $250,000, debt and accrued interest of $120,963 and $7,006, respectively, has been converted into or exchanged for common stock, and the due date for the repayment of $1,007,250 of debt has been extended from July 2017 to dates between October 2017 and February 2018. Giving effect to the above actions, we currently have notes payable aggregating $382,500 which are past due. As of the date of filing, our outstanding debt was as follows:
27 |
Principal | ||||
Maturity Date | Amount | |||
Past Due | $ | 382,500 | ||
QE 9/30/2017 | 25,000 | |||
QE 12/31/2017 | 2,106,850 | |||
QE 3/31/2018 | 277,083 | |||
$ | 2,791,433 |
Based upon our working capital deficiency, outstanding debt and forecast for continued operating losses we expect that the cash we currently have available will fund our operations through September 2017. Thereafter, we will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support our future operations and to repay our debt (unless, if requested, the debt holders agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes). Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.
We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or raise capital on favorable terms. Debt financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness, and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We experienced negative cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 in the amounts of $1,984,931 and $2,735,405, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $5,532,937, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $2,882,013 plus $665,993 of cash generated by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of increases in accounts payable, plus accrued interest, expenses and other liabilities. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $4,745,743, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,933,040, plus $77,298 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of an increase in accrued interest, expenses, other current liabilities, and by a decrease in accounts receivables, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable.
28 |
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, there was no net cash used in or provided by investing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was $151,200, due to cash used for the purchase of furniture, computer equipment and medical equipment.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $1,955,000 and $3,236,240, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, $786,000 of net proceeds were from debt financings and other borrowings and $1,169,000 of proceeds were from equity financings (including proceeds received in connection with the exercise of common stock purchase warrants).

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, management, with the participation of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

Not applicable. See, however, Item 7 (“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition”) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2017.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we issued the following securities in transactions not involving any public offering. For each of the following transactions, we relied upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as a security exchanged by an issuer with its existing security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange. For each such transaction, we did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities, the securities were offered to a limited number of persons, the investors had access to information regarding us (including information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2107, Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and press releases made by us), and we were available to answer questions by prospective investors. We reasonably believe that each of the investors is an accredited investor. The proceeds were used to reduce our working capital deficiency and for other corporate purposes.
