FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this Report, the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “intend,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) regarding events, conditions and financial trends which may affect the Company’s future plans of operations, business strategy, operating results, and financial position. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements for various reasons, including those identified under “Risk Factors.” Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company does not undertake, and specifically declines, any obligation to update any of these statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any forward-looking statements after the distribution of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.
This Report contains certain estimates and plans related to us and the industry in which we operate, which assume certain events, trends, and activities will occur and the projected information based on those assumptions. We do not know all of our assumptions are accurate. In particular, we do not know what level of acceptance our strategy will achieve, how many acquisitions we will be able to consummate or finance, or the size thereof. If our assumptions are wrong about any events, trends, or activities, then our estimates for future growth for our business also may be wrong. There can be no assurances any of our estimates as to our business growth will be achieved.
Overview
Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “ENDV” “we” “us” “our”) is primarily focused in the business of biomedical research and development, particularly in regenerative medicine, which has included the development of its proprietary square wave form device. The Company has historically been involved with intellectual property licensing, commercialization and debt portfolio management.
Our former debt portfolio management segment purchased defaulted, unsecured, consumer receivables in the secondary market and generated revenue through collections utilizing an outsourced collection network and through the strategic resale of portfolios. This segment acquired credit-card receivable portfolios at significant discounts to the total amounts owed by the debtors. Defaulted consumer receivable portfolios that include charged-off credit card receivables are accounts that have been written-off by the originators. We purchased defaulted consumer receivable portfolios from creditors and others through privately negotiated direct sales. Our results depended upon our ability to purchase and collect a sufficient volume of our consumer receivables to generate revenue that exceeded our costs.
Our intellectual property management and commercialization segment was operated through our wholly-owned subsidiary, IP Resources International, Inc. (“IPR”). IPR focused primarily on licensing various commercially desirable technologies and patents from companies that need operating capital or that need help commercializing their technology and sublicense such technology in designated territories. This segment acquires exclusive licenses for marketable technology normally without the payment of any upfront license fee to the licensor and thereafter, to sub-license the technology in the designated markets, including Asia, Europe, and Brazil. Our results depend upon our ability to locate available, licensable, and readily marketable technology, to negotiate favorable licenses for such technology, and to sub-license the technology in the designated markets at a sufficient level of volume in an effort to generate maximum revenues. Due to the history of our acquisitions, as set forth below, and management’s assessment of what has been the most promising of our technologies, we have determined to focus ourselves as a developer of biotechnology, particularly in regenerative medicine. We are in the development of a device utilizing a proprietary and patent pending square wave form technology and that is presently our primary focus.
Our subsidiary, IPR, established a portfolio of companies that it currently has licensing and marketing agreements with are:
3 |
a) CPaiR, Inc., a California corporation (“CPaiR”), which has a technology that facilitates the safe and effective performance of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
b) American CryoStem Corp., a Nevada corporation (“ACS”), which has technology that permits the harvesting and storage of adult stem cells for later medical usage by the individual from whom the stem cells are harvested.
However, these technologies, while promising to varying degrees are not our present primary focus.
Corporate History
Our predecessor company, Hanover Asset Management, Inc. was incorporated in November 2008 in California. For the purpose of reincorporating in Delaware, we merged with a newly incorporated successor company, Hanover Portfolio Acquisitions, Inc., in July 2011 under which we continue to operate as a debt portfolio management company.
IP Resources International, Inc. began operations on September 1, 2011 and was formally incorporated on October 17, 2011.
Reverse Acquisition
On March 14, 2012, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Agreement”) with IPR and certain of its shareholders. Under the Agreement, each participating IPR shareholder exchanged all of their issued and outstanding IPR common shares totaling 33,234,294, free and clear of all liens, and $155,000 for Company common shares equal to 1.2342 times the number of IPR shares being transferred to the Company for a total of 410,177 of our shares. The $155,000 was not paid at closing. The Company recorded the $155,000 as acquisition payable. IPR agreed to make payments of up to 25% of the proceeds from any private placement or gross profits earned by IPR until the obligation is satisfied. The percentage of the proceeds to be paid is at the sole discretion of IPR’s Chief Executive Officer and the ex-Chief Executive Officer of the Company based on the liquidity of the Company.
As a result of the Agreement, the former shareholders of IPR, immediately post acquisition owned approximately 89% of the Company and its officers and directors constituted the majority of the officers and directors of the Company. Since the shareholders, officers and directors of IPR have control of the Company, the acquisitions constitutes a reverse acquisition, so IPR was the accounting acquirer and we were the accounting acquiree. For accounting purposes, IPR became the parent and we became a wholly owned subsidiary. For legal purposes, we are the legal parent and IPR is the legal subsidiary.
Acquisition of Aviva Companies Corporation
On April 2, 2013, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with (i) The Aviva Companies Corporation (“Aviva”) and (ii) all of the shareholders of Aviva (the “Shareholders”) pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Aviva in exchange for the issuance of 60,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share to the Shareholders (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Aviva became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Other than in respect to the transaction, there is no material relationship among Aviva’s stockholders and any of the Company’s affiliates, directors or officers. We are not currently actively pursuing the development of the Aviva Companies Corporation.
Acquisition of WeHealAnimals, Inc.
On November 16, 2013, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with (i) WeHealAnimals ,Inc. (“WHA”) and (ii) the sole shareholder of WHA (the “Shareholder”) pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of WHA in exchange for the issuance of 3,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and $96,000 to the Shareholder (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, WHA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and all of the equity of WHA including its and its sole shareholder’s intellectual property became the property of the Company. This obligation was fully paid on December 15, 2015 through the issuance of 350,000 shares of stock to Mr. Rudd. WHA is a Nevada corporation with intellectual property in the fields of bio-technology including its biologics and time-varying electromagnetic frequencies with potential applications on people and animals that management believes can be developed to the benefit of the Company and its shareholders. WHA’s sole shareholder was formerly Chairman and Chief Scientist of Regenetech, Inc. Regenetech was acquired by a company that wanted its technology, biomolecules grown in microgravity, for use in cosmetics. WHA’s sole shareholder left Regenetech with exclusive rights to this proprietary square wave form technology and stem cell technologies, including the patents and patent applications relating thereto.

Other than in respect to the transaction, there is no material relationship between WHA’s sole stockholder and any of the Company’s affiliates, directors or officers.
Present Development Plans
We now are a biotechnology company developing bioelectronic devices and cell therapies for regenerative medicine. We are currently developing two platforms that utilize our core technologies, Time-Varying Electromagnetic Fields (TVEMF). Our Immunotronics platform is a non-implantable, non-invasive medical device that we are developing to target inflammatory conditions in vital organs. Our initial concentration is.to develop a therapeutic pipeline targeting vascular diseases and ischemia/reperfusion injuries, such as ischemic heart disease and peripheral vascular disease. Our second platform is Cytotronics, which uses our Time-Varying Electromagnetic Field (TVEMF) technology for the creation of cell-based therapies. Our initial concentration is on the development of a cell-based treatment for Graft-Versus-Host Disease.
Immunotronics Platform:
Our Immunotronics platform uses Time-Varying Electromagnetic Field (TVEMF) technology to create a non-implantable, non-invasive medical device. These bioelectronics devices are also commonly referred to as “electroceuticals.”
These products are part of an emerging field termed “Bioelectronic Medicine,” that seeks to harness electrical signals in nerves and cells to alter the course of diseases and conditions. Whereas our competitors are primarily using implantable electrical nerve stimulators, we are developing devices that are not implantable and use electromagnetic pulses to deliver electrical stimulation to cells and tissues.
We are developing these bioelectronic devices for the treatment of inflammatory conditions in tissues and vital organs with a concentration on vascular diseases and ischemia/reperfusion injuries. We are currently conducting pre-clinical studies to assess the therapeutic potential of our Immunotronics platform in the treatment and prevention of heart failure following myocardial infarction.
Cytotronics Platform:
Our Cytotronics platform uses our Time-Varying Electromagnetic Field (TVEMF) technology to expand and enhance the biological properties of stem cells for the creation of cell based therapies. Our platform builds upon the original work conducted at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) using TVEMF technology for the expansion of stem cells and expands this work to the development of electromagnetically-enhanced cell based therapies. Our initial concentration is on the development of our proprietary cell therapy that is created using the co-culture of stem cells from the human umbilical cord with adipose-derived stem cells to create a cell mixture that displays neither class I nor class II cell-surface major histocompatibility markers (MHC -/-) and can be administered without a tissue match. We are initially seeking to develop this cell therapy for the treatment of Graft-Versus-Host Disease. We are currently conducting pre-clinical testing at a research university in Italy to assess the ability to enhance the properties of stem cells using our Cytotronics technology.
Graft-Versus-Host Disease:
Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD) is a complication that can occur following a stem cell, bone marrow or tissue transplant. In GVHD, the newly transplanted donor cells attack the transplant recipient’s body. GVHD does not occur when a patient receives his/her own cells during a transplant. Therefore, GVHD is associated with allogeneic transplants, requiring that tissue and cells from possible donors be checked to see how closely they match the person having the transplant. GVHD is less likely to occur, or the symptoms milder, when the tissue match is closer. GVHD is a very rare condition that affects fewer than 20,000 persons in the US per year.

Intellectual Property:
We will continue to seek to strengthen our portfolio of intellectual property by filing additional patents around uses of our core technologies, such as Time-Varying Electromagnetic Fields (TVEMF). We will continue to develop applications of our technologies that we may license out to our competitors in the drug/pharmaceutical and life sciences industry. To date, we have filed seven patent applications in the U.S. through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and four international patent applications in the E.U., China, South Korea and Japan covering our Time-Varying Electromagnetic Field (TVEMF) technology, the production of biomolecules, the creation of an allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell product a treatment for chemical and radiation injuries, production of stem cell secretome and a method of treating tissues and organs using our TVEMF technology. To date, we have been granted one U.S. Patent (U.S. Patent No. 9,410,143) issued on August 9, 2016 covering the production of human biomolecules using our TVEMF technology.
Our business strategy is aimed at building value by positioning each of our technologies and therapies to treat specific diseases that lack effective treatment or whose current standard of treatment involves invasive procedures and/or potentially harmful side effects. We anticipate updating and refining the business strategy as new medical and/or clinical advancements are made as a result of extensive research and development. In general, the component functions of the business model are to:
● | Internationally license stem cell expansion technologies; | |
● | License technologies for the production of biomolecules; | |
● | Develop medical indications for our Immunotronics device; | |
● | Develop other non-invasive, medical technologies; | |
● | Develop cell-based therapies for distribution and use; | |
● | Conduct pre-clinical and clinical human studies for FDA Approval of our medical devices and cell therapies; | |
● | Acquire subsidiaries under the parent company, Endonovo Therapeutics, to assist in the development and distribution of medical technologies; | |
● | Incrementally invest, market, and refine acquired and developed medical technologies and therapies. |
Biotechnology Licensing
We will seek revenue by licensing certain technologies developed by WHA for the expansion of stem cells, which we believe will allow both researchers and for-profit companies to grow difficult to expand stem cells, including hematopoietic stem cells. Furthermore, we will seek to license certain technologies for the production of biomolecules for research purposes and for the development of biologics. Licensing is a particularly attractive opportunity for the Company because of the few costs associated with signing licensing agreements. By licensing WHA’s technologies, a net profit margin of 80% to 90% maybe achievable. However, we cannot give any assurance that we will be able to enter any profitable licenses and the entry into any license may require that we first receive FDA approval for our products.
Industry Overview
Regenerative Medicine
The regenerative medicine/tissue engineering industry is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field involving the life, physical and engineering sciences and seeking to develop clinical therapies for the repair, maintenance, replacement and/or enhancement of biological function. Regenerative medicine has a wide area of applications, such as musculoskeletal diseases, cardiovascular, neurology, orthopedic, and other disorders. The regenerative medicine industry is now regarded as having begun with the advent of cell culture in the very early part of the twentieth century, and continues to advance as technological advancements have been made.
The regenerative medicine industry is driven by several technological advancements in stem cell therapy and tissue engineering therapy. The regenerative medicine market is expected to grow to a value of US$6.5 billion by 2019 from a value of US$2.6 billion in 2012, according to Transparency Market Research.

Bioelectronic Medicine
The bioelectronic medicine industry is a rapidly expanding segment that seeks to harness electrical signals in nerves and cells to alter the course of diseases and conditions. These technologies seek to stimulate what is known as the inflammatory reflex, a phenomenon where the nervous system sends signals to tissues and organs to suppress inflammation. It is widely believed that these signals send by the nervous system are electrical impulses.
Currently a significant portion of the bioelectronic medicine market is concentrated on the development of implantable neurostimulators, such as vagus nerve stimulators. The bioelectronic medicine market is being driven by innovations and management expects it to grow significantly as new therapies are brought to market. The global electroceuticals/bioelectric medicine market is expected to reach USD 25.20 billion by 2021 from USD 17.20 billion in 2016, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2016 to 2021, according to MarketsandMarkets.
Cell Therapy Market
The global stem cell market, which is a segment of the regenerative medicine market is forecast to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.5% from 2015-2020, to reach a value of US$330 million by 2020, according to MarketsandMarkets. North America is expected to hold the largest share of this market due to extensive government funding and increased fast-track approvals for stem cell therapeutics by the FDA.
Competition
The biotech and regenerative therapy industries are capital intensive and highly competitive and many of our competitors have far greater assets than we have presently and will have even if all of the funding possibly available to us under the EPA is realized. We will seek to compete by establishing the uniqueness, efficacy and other advantages of the TVEMF device and the therapies based upon it.
Our competitors in the cell therapy market segment have years of research into their products including human clinical data, access to government sponsored research and grants and have more capital at their disposal.
Furthermore, our treatment for Graft-Versus-Host Disease may be limited by the FDA Approval of a competing cell therapy under the Orphan Drug Act of 1983, which grants 7-year market exclusivity to a product approved for an rare disease. This would require us to demonstrate that our cell therapy is therapeutically superior, when compared to the present drug indicated for the rare disease of interest. Therefore, the FDA approval of a competing drug and/or cell therapy for the treatment of Graft-Versus-Host Disease would greatly limit the Company’s ability to pursue this indication. There are currently many competitors seeking to develop drugs or cell therapies for the treatment of GVHD at various stages of development from pre-clinical to Phase III clinical trials.
Employees
We do not have any employees. However, we have retained approximately 10 individuals as independent contractors that are involved in business development and administrative functions.
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
Our corporate headquarters is located at Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc., 6320 Canoga Avenue, 15th Floor, Woodland Hills, CA 91367. We have a month-to-month contract with Regus Management Group, LLC in the amount of $119 per month.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. Notwithstanding the foregoing, several lenders have commenced litigation against us, which is in the early stages. We anticipate that these matters will be settled, however, if a settlement cannot be reached, we will vigorously defend these matters and we do not believe that there will be any material adverse effect as a result thereof, but there is always uncertainty in any litigation and a result cannot be guaranteed.

We do not undertake any obligation to revise these forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances.
Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on management’s current expectations and projections about future events, are not guarantees of future performance, are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions (including those described below), and apply only as of the date of this filing. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10K, in press releases and in other communications to shareholders issued by us from time to time which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors which may affect our business. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In doing so, we have to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In some cases, we could reasonably have used different accounting policies and estimates. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We refer to accounting estimates of this type as critical accounting policies and estimates, which we discuss further below.
9 |
Use of estimates
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. The significant estimates were made for the fair value of common stock issued for services, with notes payable arrangements, in connection with note extension agreements, and as repayment for outstanding debt, in estimating the useful life used for depreciation and amortization of our long-lived assets, in the valuation of the derivative liability, and the valuation of deferred income tax assets. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from its technology licensing and commercialization activities in accordance with paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.
The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer and accepted by the customer as completed pursuant to Company’s Licensing Agreements, (iii) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company has yet to realize any revenues from its licensing agreements. We had no revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued FASB ASU2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. FASB ASU 2014-15 changes to the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These changes require an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt is defined as an indication that it is probable that an entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. If management has concluded that substantial doubt exists, then the following disclosures should be made in the financial statements: (i) principal conditions or events that raised the substantial doubt, (ii) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations, (iii) management’s plans that alleviated the initial substantial doubt or, if substantial doubt was not alleviated, management’s plans that are intended to at least mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, and (iv) if the latter in (iii) is disclosed, an explicit statement that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These changes became effective for the Company for the 2016 annual period. Management has evaluated the impact of the adoption of these changes and has determined there will be no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to adoption, this guidance will need to be applied by management at the end of each annual period and interim period therein to determine what, if any, impact there will be on the consolidated financial statements in a given reporting period.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-3, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This update changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet. ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt obligation to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than being presented as an asset. Amortization of debt issuance costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”. This ASU clarified guidance in ASC 2015-03 stating that the SEC staff would not object to a company presenting debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit arrangement on the balance sheet as a deferred asset, regardless of whether there were any outstanding borrowings at period-end. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, which required us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of 2016. This update was applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each period presented was adjusted to reflect the effects of applying the new guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in ASU 2015-17 change the requirements for the classification of deferred taxes on the balance sheet. Currently, GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company has early adopted this pronouncement for the fiscal reporting period ended December 31, 2016, and has reclassified the presentation of deferred income taxes in the prior period to conform with the current year classification in the consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the Company having recognized a valuation reserve for the entire deferred tax liability balance at December 31, 2015 and 2015, there is no impact of the presentation of deferred income taxes in our financial statements.
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The update intends to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information and addresses certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The new standard affects all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of the adoption of these changes will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases (Topic 840)” and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenues
We had no revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Our net revenue was $4,265 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. We are in an early stage and our revenues will be small and erratic until a device or biological license receives FDA approval or international research licensing develops. The growth of our business is dependent on successfully raising additional capital to fund our growth.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses for 2016 were approximately $5,411,000 compared to $2,567,000 for 2015. The operating expenses were comprised primarily of consulting and professional fees for the development of our intellectual property, research and development and expenses related to being a public company.
Depreciation
We incur depreciation expense for costs related to our assets, including our information technology and software. Our depreciation increased to $15,833 in 2016 from $14,773 in 2015. There were no significant equipment purchases or sales during 2016.
Other Income (Expense)
Our Other Income (Expense) was income of approximately $95,000 in 2016 compared to expense of $4,201,000 in 2015. The income in 2016 and the expense in 2015 was primarily the result of changes in our financings and re-valuations to reflect liability accounting for convertible debt issued with variable conversion rates.

Since inception and through December 31, 2016, the Company has raised approximately $5.5 million in equity and debt transactions. These funds have been used to advance the operations of the Company, build its bio-medical platform, patent work & general corporate development. Our accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve month period following the date of these consolidated financial statements. However, the Company has incurred substantial losses. Our current liabilities exceed our current assets and available cash is not sufficient to fund the expected future operation. The Company is raising additional capital through debt and equity securities in order to continue the funding of its operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company can raise enough funds or generate sufficient revenues to pay its obligations as they become due, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To reduce the risk of not being able to continue as a going concern, management has initiated a private placement offering to raise capital through the sale of its common stock and has engaged a broker/dealer to raise additional capital.. Although, uncertainty exists as to whether the Company will be able generate enough cash from operations to fund the Company’s working capital needs or raise sufficient capital to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, no adjustments have been made to the carrying value of assets or liabilities as a result of this uncertainty. Our cash on hand at December 31, 2016 was approximately $56,000. This will not be sufficient to fund operations if additional capital is not raised. The Company raised an aggregate of $852,784 through the sale of equity and debt securities since December 31, 2016 through the date of this report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, obligations under any guarantee contracts or contingent obligations. We also have no other commitments, other than the costs of being a public company that will increase our operating costs or cash requirements in the future.
Seasonality
Management does not believe that our current business segment is seasonal to any material extent.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We do not have in effect any compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, we issued the following unregistered equity securities:
Number of | ||||||||
Common Shares | Source of | |||||||
Issued | Payment | Amount | ||||||
542,000 | Services | $ | 73,598 | |||||
5,849,832 | Note conversion | $ | 442,997 | |||||
2,500 | Note extension | $ | 298 | |||||
3,175,434 | Cash | $ | 180,000 |
The above issuances of were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2), and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these stockholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring net losses and has a working capital deficit at December 31, 2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “ETI”) is primarily focused in the business of biomedical research and development, particularly in regenerative medicine, which has included the development of the proprietary square wave form device. The Company has historically been involved with intellectual property licensing and commercialization and debt portfolio management..
On January 22, 2014 Hanover Portfolio Acquisitions, Inc. (the “Company”) received written consents in lieu of a meeting of stockholders from holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock representing in excess of 50% of the total issued and outstanding voting power of the Company approving an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from “Hanover Portfolio Acquisitions, Inc.” to “Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc.” The name change was affected pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”), filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on January 24, 2014.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of ETI, IP Resources International, Inc., Aviva Companies Corporation, and WeHealAnimals, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for a period following the date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company has recurring net losses and working capital deficits. The Company has raised approximately $2.7 million in debt and equity financing for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company is raising additional capital through debt and equity securities in order to continue the funding of its operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company can raise enough funds or generate sufficient revenues to pay its obligations as they become due, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying value of assets or liabilities as a result of this uncertainty. To reduce the risk of not being able to continue as a going concern, management has implemented its business plan to materialize revenues from potential, future, license agreements, has initiated a private placement offering to raise capital through the sale of its common stock, has engaged a broker/dealer to raise additional capital and is seeking out profitable companies.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Critical estimates include the value of shares issued for services, in connection with notes payable agreements, in connection with note extension agreements, and as repayment for outstanding debt, the useful lives of property and equipment, the valuation of the derivative liability, and the valuation of deferred income tax assets. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash is deposited with what we believe are highly credited, quality institutions. The deposited cash may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. At December 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents did not exceed FDIC limits.
Property plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range between five and seven years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows generated from the asset group to the recorded value of the asset group. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from its technology licensing and commercialization activities in accordance with paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.
The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer and accepted by the customer as completed, and (iii) collectability is reasonably assured.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes it as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock award using the straight-line method. When our common stock is thinly traded, we have made estimates of the fair value of the common stock based not only on market prices but other factors such as financial condition and results of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of its reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and income tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company has determined that the adoption did not result in the recognition of any liability for unrecognized tax benefits and that there are no unrecognized tax benefits that would, if recognized, affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated based on the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period excluding any dilutive effects of options, warrants, unvested share awards and convertible securities. Diluted net income (loss) per common share assumes the conversion of all dilutive securities using the if-converted method, and assumes the exercise or vesting of other dilutive securities, such as options, warrants and restricted stock using the treasury stock method, when dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had 11,978,455 of weighted-average common shares relating to the convertible debt, under the if-converted method, however, these shares are not dilutive because the Company recorded a loss during the fiscal year.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities using a hierarchy system, and defines required disclosures. It clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts business.
The Company’s balance sheet contains derivative liability that is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value is as follows:
Level 1: uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: uses observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: uses unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The fair value of the Company’s recorded derivative liability is determined based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, which require a Level 3 classification. A Black-Sholes option valuation model was used to determine the fair value. The Company records derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operation.
The following table presents changes in the liabilities with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Derivative Liability
The Company issued Variable Debentures during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, which contained variable conversion rates based on unknown future prices of the Company’s common stock. This resulted in a derivative liability. The Company measures the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions:

The assumptions used in determining fair value represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change, including changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, managements’ assessment or significant fluctuations in the volatility of the trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s fair value estimates could be materially different in the future.
The Company computes the fair value of the derivative liability at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The key component in the value of the derivative liability is the Company’s stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under its control, and the assessment of volatility. The resulting effect on net loss is therefore subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the Company’s Variable Debentures, which the convertible feature is associated with, are converted into common stock or paid in full with cash. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when its stock price increases and non-cash income when its stock price decreases.
Recent Accounting Standard Updates
In August 2014, the FASB issued FASB ASU2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. FASB ASU 2014-15 changes to the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These changes require an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt is defined as an indication that it is probable that an entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. If management has concluded that substantial doubt exists, then the following disclosures should be made in the financial statements: (i) principal conditions or events that raised the substantial doubt, (ii) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations, (iii) management’s plans that alleviated the initial substantial doubt or, if substantial doubt was not alleviated, management’s plans that are intended to at least mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, and (iv) if the latter in (iii) is disclosed, an explicit statement that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These changes became effective for the Company for the 2016 annual period. Management has evaluated the impact of the adoption of these changes and has determined there will be no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. This guidance will need to be applied by management at the end of each annual period and interim period therein to determine what, if any, impact there will be on the consolidated financial statements in a given reporting period.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-3, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This update changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet. ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt obligation to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than being presented as an asset. Amortization of debt issuance costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”. This ASU clarified guidance in ASC 2015-03 stating that the SEC staff would not object to a company presenting debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit arrangement on the balance sheet as a deferred asset, regardless of whether there were any outstanding borrowings at period-end. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, which required us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of 2016. This update was applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each period presented was adjusted to reflect the effects of applying the new guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in ASU 2015-17 change the requirements for the classification of deferred taxes on the balance sheet. Currently, GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company has early adopted this pronouncement for the fiscal reporting period ended December 31, 2016, and has reclassified the presentation of deferred income taxes in the prior period to conform with the current year classification in the consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the Company having recognized a valuation reserve for the entire deferred tax liability balance at December 31, 2016 and 2015, there is no impact of the presentation of deferred income taxes in our financial statements.
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The update intends to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information and addresses certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The new standard affects all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of the adoption of these changes will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases (Topic 840)” and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Common Stock
The Company has entered into consulting agreements with various consultants for service to be provided to the Company. The agreements stipulate a monthly fee and a certain number of shares that the consultant vests in over the term of the contract. The consultant is issued a prorated number of shares of common stock at the beginning of the contract, which the consultant earns over a three-month period. At the anniversary of each quarter, the consultant is issued a new allotment of common stock during the first 3 years of engagement.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Series AA Preferred Shares
On February 22, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), in the form of a Certificate of Designation that authorized the issuance of up to one million (1,000,000) shares of a new series of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, designated “Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock,” for which the board of directors established the rights, preferences and limitations thereof.
Each holder of outstanding shares of Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one hundred thousand (100,000) votes for each share of Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock held on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at each meeting of stockholders of the Company. As of December 31, 2016, there were 1,000 shares of Series AA Preferred stock outstanding.
Note 6 – Related Party Transactions
Two executive officers and the operations manager of the Company have agreed to defer their compensation until cash flow improves. As of December 31, 2016, the balance of their deferred compensation is approximately $1,861,327.
From time-to-time officers and the operations manager of the Company advance monies to the Company to cover costs. During the year ended December 31, 2016, officers advanced $12,618 of funds to the Company of which $10,300 were repaid during the year. The balance of short-term advances due to two officers and executives of the Company at December 31, 2016 is $5,823.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, an officer and executive of the Company entered into a note payable agreement for $50,000, and the principal and interest of a $96,000 note payable to another related party was converted into 350,000 shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company repaid the principal and interest of a $75,000 note payable to its operations manager. At December 31, 2016, notes payable remain outstanding to one officer and executive of the Company, in the amount of $170,000.
Note 7 - Income taxes
The Company files income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and various state jurisdictions. For jurisdictions in which tax filings are prepared, the Company is subject to income tax examinations by state tax authorities and federal tax authorities for all tax years.
The deferred tax assets are mainly comprised of net loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $9,743,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards, that it can use to offset a certain amount of taxable income in the future. These federal net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2029. The resulting deferred tax asset is offset by a 100% valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of its realization.
A reconciliation of the provision for income tax expense with the expected income tax computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes was as follows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Income tax computed at federal statutory tax rate | -34.0 | % | -34.0 | % | ||||
Change in valuation allowance | 39.8 | % | 39.8 | % | ||||
State taxes, net of federal benefit | -5.8 | % | -5.8 | % | ||||
Total | 0.0 | % | 0.0 | % |
The primary difference between income tax expense attributable to continuing operations and the amount of income tax expense that would result from applying domestic federal statutory rates to income before provision for income taxes relates to the change in the valuation allowance.
The Company has adopted the accounting standards that clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not and a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a company must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position and must assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities. Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest and penalties totaled $0 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure of controls and procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also 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. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
As required by the SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2016 at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless, Management determined in May 2016 to restate previously released financial statements as a result of inadvertently omitting two consulting agreements entered into in November 2015 which contained promissory notes with conversion privileges based on an undeterminable number of common stock shares. As a result of this restatement, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following two material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of December 31, 2016 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the year ended December 31, 2016. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
34 |
2. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. As a result of these additional procedures, Management determined that previously issued financial statements needed to be restated.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
● Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
● Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
● Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
35 |
As of the end of our most recent fiscal year, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that as of December 31, 2016, such internal control over financial reporting was not effective. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal control over financial reporting that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives of having segregation of the initiation of transactions, the recording of transactions and the custody of assets. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2016.
As a result of restating the financial statements, Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) and (2) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management’s report in this annual report.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures: we will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. First, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives of having separate individuals perform (i) the initiation of transactions, (ii) the recording of transactions and (iii) the custody of assets. Second, we will create a senior position to focus on financial reporting and standardizing and documenting our accounting procedures with the goal of increasing the effectiveness of the internal controls in preventing and detecting misstatements of accounting information. Third, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us. We anticipate the costs of implementing these remediation initiatives will be approximately $50,000 to $100,000 a year in increased salaries, legal and accounting expenses.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
36 |
On April 3, 2013, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), in the form of a Certificate of Designation that authorized the issuance of up to one million (1,000,000) shares of a new series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, designated “Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock,” for which the board of directors established the rights, preferences and limitations thereof.
The Company’s board of directors authorized the Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock pursuant to the authority given to the board under the Articles of Incorporation, which authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and authorized the board, by resolution, to establish any or all of the unissued shares of preferred stock, not then allocated to any series into one or more series and to fix and determine the designation of each such shares, the number of shares which shall constitute such series and certain preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of each series so established.
Each holder of outstanding shares of Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one hundred thousand (100,000) votes for each share of Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock held on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at each meeting of stockholders of the Company.
The summary of the rights, privileges and preferences of the Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock described above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation as filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Default on Notes
Due to its limited resources, the Company has not been able to pay certain promissory notes when due. These notes are to an aggregate of 61 persons and aggregate $1,311,500 in principal amount. Management believes that the Company may have valid defenses as to some of the promissory notes and will be able to modify some of these notes if requested by the holders to do so and otherwise avoid any default.

The following table sets forth the name and age of officers and director as of March 29, 2017. Our Executive officers are elected annually by our Board of Directors. Our executive officers hold their offices until they resign, are removed by the Board, or his successor is elected and qualified.

Director Independence
We do not have any independent directors. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
● | the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company; |
● | the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service); |
● | a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company; |
● | the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient ‘ s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions); |
● | the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or |
● | the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit. |
Mr. Alan Collier is not considered independent because he is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
We do not currently have a separately designated audit, nominating or compensation committee.

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
● | approved by our audit committee; or |
● | entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee’s responsibilities to management. |
We do not have an audit committee. Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what percentage of the above fees was pre-approved. However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
