GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Background

A 1:800 reverse stock split of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was implemented on November 7, 2016. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 800 shares of issued and outstanding common stock was converted into 1 share of common stock. All fractional shares created by the reverse stock split were rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of authorized shares of common stock did not change. The reverse stock split decreased the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 453,694,400 shares to 570,707 shares as of that date. See Note 4, Stockholders’ Deficit. Unless otherwise specified, all per share amounts are reported on a post-stock split basis, as of June 30, 2017. On February 24, 2016, the Company had also implemented a 1:100 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock.

The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. The Company has experienced net losses since its inception and, as of June 30, 2017, it had an accumulated deficit of approximately $128.9 million. To date, the Company has engaged primarily in research and development efforts and the early stages of marketing its products. The Company may not be successful in growing sales for its products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. The Company’s products may not ever gain market acceptance and the Company may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of the Company’s products requires substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. The Company expects operating losses to continue through at least the end of 2017 as it continues to expend substantial resources to complete development of its products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build its marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements reflect adjustments, all of which are of a normal, recurring nature, and which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2017, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full fiscal year. Preparing financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

All information and footnote disclosures included in the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern. The factors below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

At June 30, 2017, the Company had a negative working capital of approximately $9.7 million, accumulated deficit of $128.9 million, and incurred a net loss of $1,071,000 for the quarter then ended. Stockholders’ deficit totaled approximately $10.3 million at June 30, 2017, primarily due to recurring net losses from operations and deemed dividends on warrants and preferred stock, offset by proceeds from the exercise of warrants and proceeds from sales of stock.

The Company’s capital-raising efforts are ongoing. If sufficient capital cannot be raised during the third quarter of 2017, the Company will continue its plans of curtailing operations by reducing discretionary spending and staffing levels, and attempting to operate by only pursuing activities for which it has external financial support. However, there can be no assurance that such external financial support will be sufficient to maintain even limited operations or that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. In such a case, the Company might be required to enter into unfavorable agreements or, if that is not possible, be unable to continue operations, and to the extent practicable, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection.

The Company had warrants exercisable for approximately 11.0 million shares of its common stock outstanding at June 30, 2017, with exercise prices ranging between $0.14 and $40,000 per share. Exercises of these warrants would generate a total of approximately $6.2 million in cash, assuming full exercise, although the Company cannot be assured that holders will exercise any warrants. Management may obtain additional funds through the public or private sale of debt or equity, and grants, if available.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s significant accounting policies were set forth in the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in its annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas where estimates are used include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and input variables for Black-Scholes, Monte Carlo simulations and binomial calculations. The Company uses the Monte Carlo simulations and binomial calculations in the calculation of the fair value of the warrant liabilities and the valuation of embedded conversion options and freestanding warrants.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Guided Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions are eliminated.

Accounting Standard Updates

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date”, which amends ASU 2014-09. As a result, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” (“ASU 2016-08”); ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” (“ASU 2016-10”); ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” (“ASU 2016-12”); and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2016-20”), which are intended to provide additional guidance and clarity to ASU 2014-09. The Company must adopt ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 along with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “New Revenue Standards”). The New Revenue Standards may be applied using one of two retrospective application methods: (1) a full retrospective approach for all periods presented, or (2) a modified retrospective approach that presents a cumulative effect as of the adoption date and additional required disclosures. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value and options that currently exist for market value be eliminated. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results for the period ended June 30, 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” that requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities associated with the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as finance or operating lease. The update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact adoption of this guidance will have on determination or reporting of its financial results.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-05”). ASU 2016-05 provides guidance clarifying that novation of a derivative contract (i.e., a change in counterparty) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedge accounting relationship. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results for the period ended June 30, 2017.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-06”). ASU 2016-06 simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options by clarifying that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results for the period ended June 30, 2017.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 is intended to simplify several aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, such as requiring all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled and allowing a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. In addition, all related cash flows resulting from share-based payments will be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 could result in increased volatility of the Company’s provision for income taxes and earnings per share, depending on the Company’s share price at exercise or vesting of share-based awards compared to grant date. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results for the period ended June 30, 2017.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The guidance in this new standard replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting by clarifying existing principles in ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and provides specific guidance on certain cash flow classification issues. The effective date for ASU 2016-15 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact adoption of this guidance will have on determination or reporting of its financial results.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash,” (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires a statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company is evaluating the impact adoption of this guidance will have on determination or reporting of its financial results.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted in 2017. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting)” (“ASU 2017-09”) which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The new guidance will reduce diversity in practice and result in fewer changes to the terms of an award being accounted for as modifications. ASU 2017-09 will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements

Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent.

Accounts Receivable

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and generally does not require collateral. The Company reviews all outstanding accounts receivable for collectability on a quarterly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for any amounts deemed uncollectable. The Company does not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company, from time to time during the years covered by these consolidated financial statements, may have bank balances in excess of its insured limits. Management has deemed this a normal business risk.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized upon shipment of such products to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue from contracts on a straight-line basis, over the terms of the contract. The Company recognizes revenue from grants based on the grant agreement, at the time the expenses are incurred.

Significant Customers

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, all of the Company’s revenues were from three and two customers, respectively. Revenue from these customers totaled $103,750 and $283,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Accounts receivable due from these customers represents 0% at June 30, 2017.

Inventory Valuation

All inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when incurred. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our inventories were as follows (in thousands):

	June 30,	December 31,
	2017	2016
Raw materials	$795	$795
Work in process	115	115
Finished goods	108	141
Inventory reserve	(262)	(278)
Total	$756	$773

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized at the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense is included in general and administrative expense on the statement of operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are summarized as follows at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

	June 30,	December 31,
	2017	2016
Equipment	$1,378	$1,378

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Debt issuance costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the that debt liability consistent with the debt discount.

Other Assets

Other assets primarily consist of short- and long-term deposits for various tooling inventory that are being constructed for the Company and deferred financing costs.

Patent Costs (Principally Legal Fees)

Costs incurred in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining patents are recurring, and expensed as incurred. Maintaining patents are expensed as incurred as the Company has not yet received U.S. FDA approval and recovery of these costs is uncertain. Such costs aggregated approximately $9,000 and $9,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
Accrued compensation	$1,887	$1,656
Accrued professional fees	73	161
Deferred rent	-	13
Accrued warranty	51	58
Accrued vacation	164	175
Accrued interest	223	-
Accrued dividends	300	296
Other accrued expenses	573	311
Total	$3,271	$2,670

Deferred Revenue

The Company defers payments received as revenue until earned based on the related contracts on a straight-line basis, over the terms of the contract.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of expenditures for research conducted by the Company and payments made under contracts with consultants or other outside parties and costs associated with internal and contracted clinical trials. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Management provides valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets for amounts that are not considered more likely than not to be realized.

The Company is currently delinquent with its federal and applicable state tax returns filings. Some of the federal income tax returns are currently under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). None of the Company’s state income tax returns are currently under review by state authorities. Although the Company has been experiencing recurring losses, it is obligated to file tax returns for compliance with IRS regulations and that of applicable state jurisdictions. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has approximately $34 and $33 million of net operating losses, respectively. This net operating loss will be eligible to be carried forward for tax purposes at federal and applicable states level. A full valuation allowance has been recorded related the deferred tax assets generated from the net operating losses.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company assesses each income tax position using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more-likely-than-not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 there were no uncertain tax positions.

Warrants

The Company has issued warrants, which allow the warrant holder to purchase one share of stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. The Company records equity instruments including warrants issued to non-employees based on the fair value at the date of issue. The fair value of warrants classified as equity instruments at the date of issuance is estimated using the Black-Scholes Model. The fair value of warrants classified as liabilities at the date of issuance is estimated using the Monte Carlo Simulation or Binomial model.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company records compensation expense related to options granted to non-employees based on the fair value of the award.

Compensation cost is recorded as earned for all unvested stock options outstanding at the beginning of the first year based upon the grant date fair value estimates, and for compensation cost for all share-based payments granted or modified subsequently based on fair value estimates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 share-based compensation for options attributable to employees, officers and Board members were approximately $32,000 and $53,000. These amounts have been included in the Company’s statements of operations. Compensation costs for stock options which vest over time are recognized over the vesting period. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $76,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to granted stock options that will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately three years.

3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The guidance for fair value measurements, ASC820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and outlines the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs as follows:

●

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

●

Level 2 – Inputs, other than level 1 inputs, either directly or indirectly observable; and

●

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using internal estimates and assumptions (there is little or no market date) which reflect those that market participants would use.

The Company records its derivative activities at fair value, which consisted of warrants as of June 30, 2017. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Binomial Simulation model. Gains and losses from derivative contracts are included in net gain (loss) from derivative contracts in the statement of operations. The fair value of the Company’s derivative warrants is classified as a Level 3 measurement, since unobservable inputs are used in the valuation.

The following table presents the fair value for those liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (In Thousands)

The following is summary of items that the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis:

As of June 30, 2017, the fair value of warrants was approximately $1,072,000. A net change of approximately $403,000 has been recorded to the accompanying statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

4. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Common Stock

The Company has authorized 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock with $0.001 par value, of which 2,537,944 were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2017. As of December 31, 2016, there were 1,000,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, of which 668,651 were issued and outstanding.

A 1:800 reverse stock split of all of our issued and outstanding common stock was implemented on November 7, 2016. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 800 shares of issued and outstanding common stock was converted into 1 share of common stock. All fractional shares created by the reverse stock split were rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of authorized shares of common stock did not change. On February 24, 2016, the Company had also implemented a 1:100 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock. The number of the authorized shares did not change.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 1,869,293 shares of common stock as listed below:

Series C Preferred Stock Conversions	1,116,708
Series C Preferred Stock Dividends	551,735
Issuance of shares due to commitment in Debt agreement	50,000
Convertible Debt Conversions	150,850
Total	1,869,293

On January 22, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Shandong Yaohua Medical Instrument Corporation, or SMI, pursuant to which the Company granted SMI an exclusive global license to manufacture the LuViva device and related disposables (subject to a carve-out for manufacture in Turkey) and exclusive distribution rights in the Peoples Republic of China, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In exchange for the license, SMI will pay a $1.0 million licensing fee, payable in five installments through October 2017, as well as a royalty on each disposable sold in the territories. SMI will also underwrite the cost of securing approval of LuViva with the Chinese Food and Drug Administration, or CFDA. Pursuant to the SMI agreement, SMI must become capable of manufacturing LuViva in accordance with ISO 13485 for medical devices by the second anniversary of the SMI agreement, or else forfeit the license. During 2017, SMI must purchase no fewer than ten devices (with up to two devices pushed to 2018 if there is a delay in obtaining approval from the CFDA). In the three years following CFDA approval, SMI must purchase a minimum of 3,500 devices (500 in the first year, 1,000 in the second, and 2,000 in the third) or else forfeit the license. As manufacturer of the devices and disposables, SMI will be obligated to sell each to us at costs no higher than our current costs. As partial consideration for, and as a condition to, the license, and to further align the strategic interests of the parties, the Company agreed to issue $1.0 million in shares of its common stock to SMI, in five installments through October 2017, at a price per share equal to the lesser of the average closing price for the five days prior to issuance and $1.25.

In order to facilitate the SMI agreement, immediately prior to its execution the Company entered into an agreement with Shenghuo Medical, LLC, regarding its previous license to Shenghuo (see Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies). Under the terms of the new agreement, Shenghuo agreed to relinquish its manufacturing license and its distribution rights in SMI’s territories, and to waive its rights under the original Shenghuo agreement, all for as long as SMI performs under the SMI agreement. As consideration, the Company agreed to split with Shenghuo the licensing fees and net royalties from SMI that the Company will receive under the SMI agreement. Should the SMI agreement be terminated, the Company have agreed to re-issue the original license to Shenghuo under the original terms. The Company’s COO and director, Mark Faupel, is a shareholder of Shenghuo, and another director, Richard Blumberg, is a managing member of Shenghuo.

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $.001 par value. The board of directors has the authority to issue these shares and to set dividends, voting and conversion rights, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences, and other rights and restrictions. The board of directors designated 525,000 shares of preferred stock redeemable convertible preferred stock, none of which remain outstanding, 33,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock, none of which remain outstanding, 9,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 1,248 and 1,643 were issued and outstanding at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and 20,250 shares of preferred stock as Series C1 Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 4,312 shares were issued and outstanding at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock were entitled to quarterly dividends at an annual rate of 10.0%, payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, common stock, at the Company’s option. There were no preferred dividends for the first quarter of 2017 or for the same period in 2016.

The Series B Preferred Stock were issued with Tranche A warrants to purchase 24 shares of common stock and Tranche B warrants purchasing 7,539 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $8,364 and $75 per share, respectively.

At December 31, 2015, as a result of the operation of certain anti-dilution provisions, the Tranche B warrants were convertible into 1 shares of common stock. These warrants are re-measured based upon their fair value each reporting period and classified as a liability on the Balance Sheet.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On June 29, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, including John Imhoff and Mark Faupel, members of the Board, for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 6,737 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock, at a purchase price of $750 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share. On September 3, 2015 the Company entered into an interim agreement amending the securities purchase agreement to provide for certain of the investors to purchase an additional aggregate of 1,166 shares. Total cash and non-cash expenses were valued at $853,000, resulting in net proceeds of $3,698,000.

Pursuant to the Series C certificate of designations, shares of Series C preferred stock are convertible into common stock by their holder at any time, and may be mandatorily convertible upon the achievement of specified average trading prices for the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2017, there were 1,248 shares outstanding with a conversion price of $0.1504 per share, such that each share of Series C preferred stock would convert into approximately 6,649 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary adjustments, including for any accrued but unpaid dividends and pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions, as set forth in the Series C certificate of designations. The conversion price will automatically adjust downward to 80% of the then-current market price of the Company’s common stock 15 trading days after any reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, and 5 trading days after any conversions of the Company’s outstanding convertible debt.

Holders of the Series C preferred stock are entitled to quarterly cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12.0% until 42 months after the original issuance date (the “Dividend End Date”), payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, the Company’s common stock. In addition, upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock prior to the Dividend End Date, the Company will also pay to the converting holder a “make-whole payment” equal to the amount of unpaid dividends through the Dividend End Date on the converted shares. At June 30, 2017, the “make-whole payment” for a converted share of Series C preferred stock would convert to 3,657 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series C preferred stock generally has no voting rights except as required by Delaware law. Upon the Company’s liquidation or sale to or merger with another corporation, each share will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

In addition, the purchasers of the Series C preferred stock received, on a pro rata basis, warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of approximately 150 shares of Company’s common stock. The warrants contain anti-dilution adjustments in the event that the Company issues shares of common stock, or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock, at prices below the exercise price of such warrants. As a result of the anti-dilution protection, the Company is required to account for the warrants as a liability recorded at fair value each reporting period. At June 30, 2017, the exercise price per share was $640.

On May 23, 2016, an investor canceled certain of these warrants, exercisable into 903 shares of common stock. The same investor also transferred certain of these warrants, exercisable for 150 shares of common stock, to two investors who also had participated in the 2015 Series C financing.

Series C1 Convertible Preferred Stock

Between April 27, 2016 and May 3, 2016, the Company entered into various agreements with certain holders of Series C preferred stock, including directors John Imhoff and Mark Faupel, pursuant to which those holders separately agreed to exchange each share of Series C preferred stock held for 2.25 shares of the Company’s newly created Series C1 preferred stock and 12 (9,600 pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series C Exchanges”). In connection with the Series C Exchanges, each holder also agreed to roll over the $1,000 stated value per share of the holder’s shares of Series C1 preferred stock into the next qualifying financing undertaken by the Company on a dollar-for-dollar basis and, except in the event of an additional $50,000 cash investment in the Company by the holder, to execute a customary “lockup” agreement in connection with the financing. In total, for 1,916 shares of Series C preferred stock surrendered, the Company issued 4,312 shares of Series C1 preferred stock and 22,996 shares of common stock. At June 30, 2017, there were 4,312 shares outstanding with a conversion price of $0.1504 per share, such that each share of Series C preferred stock would convert into approximately 6,649 shares of the Company’s common stock

The Series C1 preferred stock has terms that are substantially the same as the Series C preferred stock, except that the Series C1 preferred stock does not pay dividends (unless and to the extent declared on the common stock) or at-the-market “make-whole payments” and, while it has the same anti-dilution protections afforded the Series C preferred stock, it does not automatically reset in connection with a reverse stock split or conversion of our outstanding convertible debt.

All outstanding warrant agreements provide for anti-dilution adjustments in the event of certain mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock splits or other changes in the Company’s corporate structure; except for (9). In addition, warrants subject to footnotes (2) and (10)-(12), (14), and (16) – (19) in the table above are subject to “lower price issuance” anti-dilution provisions that automatically reduce the exercise price of the warrants (and, in the cases of warrants subject to footnote (2), (16) and (17) in the table above, increase the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise), to the offering price in a subsequent issuance of the Company’s common stock, unless such subsequent issuance is exempt under the terms of the warrants.

The warrants subject to footnote (2) are subject to a mandatory exercise provision. This provision permits the Company, subject to certain limitations, to require exercise of such warrants at any time following (a) the date that is the 30th day after the later of the Company’s receipt of an approvable letter from the U.S. FDA for LuViva and the date on which the common stock achieves an average market price for 20 consecutive trading days of at least $1,040.00 with an average daily trading volume during such 20 consecutive trading days of at least 250 shares, or (b) the date on which the average market price of the common stock for 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date the Company delivers a notice demanding exercise is at least $129,600.00 and the average daily trading volume of the common stock exceeds 250 shares for such 20 consecutive trading days. If these warrants are not timely exercised upon demand, they will expire. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company may be required to repurchase these warrants, as well as the warrants subject to footnote (2) in the table above.

The warrants subject to footnote (5) in the table above are also subject to a mandatory exercise provision. This provision permits the Company, subject to certain limitations; to require the exercise of such warrants should the average trading price of its common stock over any 30 consecutive day trading period exceed $92.16.

The warrants subject to footnote (7) in the table above are also subject to a mandatory exercise provision. This provision permits the Company, subject to certain limitations, to require exercise of 50% of the then-outstanding warrants if the trading price of its common stock is at least two times the initial warrant exercise price for any 20-day trading period. Further, in the event that the trading price of the Company’s common stock is at least 2.5 times the initial warrant exercise price for any 20-day trading period, the Company will have the right to require the immediate exercise of 50% of the then-outstanding warrants. Any warrants not exercised within the prescribed time periods will be canceled to the extent of the number of shares subject to mandatory exercise.

The holders of the warrants subject to footnote (2) in the table above have agreed to surrender the warrants, upon consummation of a qualified public financing, for new warrants exercisable for 200% of the number of shares underlying the surrendered warrants, but without certain anti-dilution protections included with the surrendered warrants.

Series B Tranche B Warrants

As discussed in Note 3, Fair Value Measurements, between June 13, 2016 and June 14, 2016, the Company entered into various agreements with holders of the Company’s “Series B Tranche B” warrants, pursuant to which each holder separately agreed to exchange the warrants for either (1) shares of common stock equal to 166% of the number of shares of common stock underlying the surrendered warrants, or (2) new warrants exercisable for 200% of the number of shares underlying the surrendered warrants, but without certain anti-dilution protections included with the surrendered warrants. In total, for surrendered warrants then-exercisable for an aggregate of 1,185,357 shares of common stock (but subject to exponential increase upon operation of certain anti-dilution provisions), the Company issued or is obligated to issue 16,897 shares of common stock and new warrants that, if exercised as of the date hereof, would be exercisable for an aggregate of 216,707 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had issued 14,766 shares of common stock and rights to common stock shares for 2,131. In certain circumstances, in lieu of presently issuing all of the shares (for each holder that opted for shares of common stock), the Company and the holder further agreed that the Company will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable warrant exchange agreement, from time to time, be obligated to issue the remaining shares to the holder. No additional consideration will be payable in connection with the issuance of the remaining shares. The holders that elected to receive shares for their surrendered warrants have agreed that they will not sell shares on any trading day in an amount, in the aggregate, exceeding 20% of the composite aggregate trading volume of the common stock for that trading day. The holders that elected to receive new warrants will be required to surrender their old warrants upon consummation of the Company’s next financing resulting in net cash proceeds to the Company of at least $1 million. The new warrants will have an initial exercise price equal to the exercise price of the surrendered warrants as of immediately prior to consummation of the financing, subject to customary “downside price protection” for as long as the Company’s common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

5. STOCK OPTIONS

The Company’s 1995 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) has expired pursuant to its terms, so zero shares remained available for issuance at June 30, 2017. The Plan allowed for the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and stock purchase rights. The exercise price of options was determined by the Company’s board of directors, but incentive stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. Options historically granted have generally become exercisable after four years and expire ten years from the date of grant.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company has issued and outstanding options to purchase a total of 119 shares of common stock pursuant to the Plan, at a weighted average exercise price of $37,920 per share.

The fair value of stock options are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were issued during the period ended June 30, 2017.

Stock option activity for June 30, 2017 as follows:

	2017
		Weighted Average
	Shares	Exercise Price
Outstanding at beginning of year	$125 37,920
Options granted	-	$-
Options exercised	-	$-
Options expired/forfeited	(6)	$55,200
Outstanding at end of the period	119	$37,920

6. LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the dispositions of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, depending on the amount and timing of such disposition, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect the future results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no accrual recorded for any potential losses related to pending litigation.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company leases approximately 23,000 square feet under a lease that expired in June 2017. The Company occupies the space on a month to month rental basis. The fixed monthly lease expense is approximately $15,000 plus common charges.

The Company’s COO and director, Mark Faupel, is a shareholder of Shenghuo, and another director, Richard Blumberg, is a managing member of Shenghuo. Shenghuo was already the Company’s exclusive distributor in China, Macau and Hong Kong, and the license extended to manufacturing in those countries as well. Under the terms of the license agreement, once Shenghuo was capable of manufacturing LuViva in accordance with ISO 13485 for medical devices, Shenghuo would pay the Company a royalty equal to $2.00 or 20% of the distributor price (subject to a discount under certain circumstances), whichever is higher, per disposable distributed within Shenghuo’s exclusive territories. In connection with the license grant, Shenghuo was to underwrite the cost of securing approval of LuViva with Chinese Food and Drug Administration. At its option, Shenghuo also would provide up to $1.0 million in furtherance of the Company’s efforts to secure regulatory approval for LuViva from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in exchange for the right to receive payments equal to 2% of the Company’s future sales in the United States, up to an aggregate of $4.0 million. Pursuant to the license agreement, Shenghuo had the option to have a designee appointed to the Company’s board of directors (director Richard Blumberg is that designee). As partial consideration for, and as a condition to, the license, and to further align the strategic interests of the parties, the Company agreed to issue a convertible note to Shenghuo, in exchange for an aggregate cash investment of $200,000. The note will provide for a payment to Shenghuo of $300,000, expected to be due the earlier of 90 days from issuance and consummation of any capital raising transaction by the Company with net cash proceeds of at least $1.0 million. The note will accrue interest at 20% per year on any unpaid amounts due after that date. The note will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share of $13.92, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment. The note will be unsecured, and is expected to provide for customary events of default. The Company will also issue Shenghuo a five-year warrant exercisable immediately for approximately 21,549 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the conversion price of the note, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment.

Under the terms of the new agreement, Shenghuo agreed to relinquish its manufacturing license and its distribution rights in SMI’s territories, and to waive its rights under the original Shenghuo agreement, all for as long as SMI performs under the SMI agreement.

On September 6, 2016, the Company entered into a royalty agreement with one of its directors, John Imhoff, and another stockholder, Dolores Maloof, pursuant to which the Company sold to them a royalty of future sales of single-use cervical guides for LuViva.

LuViva provides a less invasive and painless alternative to conventional tests for cervical cancer screening and detection. Additionally, LuViva improves patient well-being not only because it eliminates pain, but also because it is convenient to use and provides rapid results at the point of care. We focus on two primary applications for LuViva: first, as a cancer screening tool in the developing world, where infrastructure to support traditional cancer-screening methods is limited or non-existent, and second, as a triage following traditional screening in the developed world, where a high number of false positive results cause a high rate of unnecessary and ultimately costly follow-up tests.

We are a Delaware corporation, originally incorporated in 1992 under the name “SpectRx, Inc.,” and, on February 22, 2008, changed our name to Guided Therapeutics, Inc. At the same time, we renamed our wholly owned subsidiary, InterScan, which originally had been incorporated as “Guided Therapeutics.”

Since our inception, we have raised capital through the public and private sale of debt and equity, funding from collaborative arrangements, and grants.

Our prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. We have experienced net losses since our inception and, as of June 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $128.9 million. To date, we have engaged primarily in research and development efforts and the early stages of marketing our products. We do not have significant experience in manufacturing, marketing or selling our products. We may not be successful in growing sales for our products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. Our products may not ever gain market acceptance and we may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of our products requires substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. We expect our operating losses to continue through at least the end of 2017 as we continue to expend substantial resources to complete commercialization of our products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build our marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.

Our product revenues to date have been limited. In 2016, the majority of our revenues were from the sale of LuViva devices and disposables. We expect that the majority of our revenue in 2017 will be derived from revenue from the sale of LuViva devices and disposables.

Reverse Stock Split: On November 7, 2016, the Company implemented a 1:800 reverse stock split of all of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 800 shares of issued and outstanding common stock was converted into 1 share of common stock. All fractional shares created by the reverse stock split were rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of authorized shares of common stock did not change. The reverse stock split decreased the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 453,694,400 shares of Common Stock to 570,707 shares as of that date. See Note 4, Stockholders’ Deficit. Unless otherwise specified, all per share amounts are reported on a post-stock split basis, as of June 30, 2017. On February 24, 2016, the Company had also implemented a 1:100 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On August 7, 2017, we entered into a forbearance agreement with GPB Debt Holdings II LLC, with regard to a senior secured convertible note in original principal amount of $1,437,500, issued February 12, 2016. Under the forbearance agreement, GPB has agreed to forbear from exercising certain of its rights and remedies (but not waive such rights and remedies), arising as a result of our failure to pay the monthly interest due and owing on the note. In consideration for the forbearance, we agreed to waive, release, and discharge GPB from all claims against GPB based on facts existing on or before the date of the forbearance agreement in connection with the note, or the dealings between us and GPB, or our equity holders and GPB, in connection with the note. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, we have reaffirmed our obligations under the note and related documents and executed a confession of judgment regarding the amount due under the note, which GPB may file upon any future event of default. During the forbearance period, we must continue to comply will all the terms, covenants, and provisions of the note and related documents.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our material accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to an investors understanding of our financial results and condition, are discussed below. Because we are still early in our enterprise development, the number of these policies requiring explanation is limited. As we begin to generate increased revenue from different sources, we expect that the number of applicable policies and complexity of the judgments required will increase.

Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue from contracts on a straight line basis, over the terms of the contract. We recognize revenue from grants based on the grant agreement, at the time the expenses are incurred. Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized upon shipment of such products to its customers.

Valuation of Deferred Taxes: We account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, we recognize deferred assets and liabilities based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We establish a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be utilized against future taxable income.

Valuation of Equity Instruments Granted to Employee, Service Providers and Investors: On the date of issuance, the instruments are recorded at their fair value as determined using either the Black-Scholes valuation model or Monte Carlo Simulation model. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements accompanying this report for the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation.

Allowance for Accounts Receivable: We estimate losses from the inability of our customers to make required payments and periodically review the payment history of each of our customers, as well as their financial condition, and revise our reserves as a result.

Inventory Valuation: All inventories are stated at lower of cost or market, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when purchased.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2016

Sales Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Loss from Devices and Disposables: Revenues from the sale of LuViva devices and disposables for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $87,000 and $129,000, respectively. Revenues decreased by approximately $42,000, or 33% from the same period in 2016. The decrease was due to less activity in sales orders being shipped in 2017 and lack of funding to support sales and marketing efforts. Related costs of sales were approximately $82,000 and $33,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This resulted in a gross profit of approximately $5,000 on the sales of devices and disposables for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared with a gross profit of approximately $96,000 for the same period in 2016.

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to approximately $89,000, from approximately $148,000 for the same period in 2016. The decrease, of approximately $59,000, or 40%, was primarily due to decreases in payroll expenses.

Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to approximately $67,000, from approximately $86,000 for the same period in 2016. The decrease, of approximately $19,000, or 22%, was primarily due to Company-wide expense reduction and cost savings efforts.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to approximately $382,000, from approximately $760,000 for the same period in 2016. The decrease, of approximately $378,000, or 50%, was primarily related to lower compensation and option expenses incurred during the same period.

Other Income: Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $13,000, compared to $21,000 for the same period in 2016, a decrease of approximately $8,000 or 38%.

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to approximately $325,000, compared to $1,213,000 for the same period in 2016. The decrease of approximately $888,000, or 73%, was primarily due to amortization of debt discount, debt issuance costs and penalty on event default of convertible loan that were lower compared to the same period in 2016.

Fair Value of Warrants Expense: Fair value of warrants recovery for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to approximately a negative $226,000, compared to $211,000 for the same period in 2016. The increase of approximately $437,000, or 207%, was primarily due to the significant changes in warrant conversion prices.

Net loss: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was approximately $1,137,000, or $0.59 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $2,172,000, or $52.95 per share, for the same period in 2016. The decrease of $1,035,000, or 48%, was for reasons outlined above.

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2016

Sales Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Loss from Devices and Disposables: Revenues from the sale of LuViva devices and disposables for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $104,000 and $391,000, respectively. Revenues decreased by approximately $287,000, or 73%, from the same period in 2016. The decrease was due to less activity in sales orders being shipped in 2017 and lack of funding to support sales and marketing efforts. Related costs of sales were approximately $98,000 and $101,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Costs of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were approximately $3,000, or 3% lower than the same period in 2016. This resulted in a gross profit of approximately $6,000 on the sales of devices and disposables for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with a gross profit of approximately $290,000 for the same period in 2016.

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to approximately $183,000, from approximately $438,000 for the same period in 2016. The decrease, of approximately $255,000, or 58%, was primarily due to decreases in payroll expenses.

Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to approximately $149,000, from approximately $203,000 for the same period in 2016. The decrease, of approximately $54,000, or 27%, was primarily due to Company-wide expense reduction and cost savings efforts.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to approximately $726,000, from approximately $1,677,000 for the same period in 2016. The decrease, of approximately $951,000, or 57%, was primarily related to lower compensation and option expenses incurred during the same period.

Other Income: Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $15,000, compared to $44,000 for the same period in 2016, a decrease of $29,000 or 66%.

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to approximately $546,000, compared to $1,371,000 for the same period in 2016. The decrease of approximately $825,000, or 60%, was primarily due to amortization of debt discount, debt issuance costs and penalty on event default of convertible loan that were lower for same period in 2016.

Fair Value of Warrants Expense: Fair value of warrants recovery for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to approximately $403,000, compared to $1,606,000 for the same period in 2016. The decrease of approximately $1,203,000, or 75%, was primarily due to the significant changes in warrant conversion prices.

Net loss: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was approximately $1,345,000, or $0.94 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $2,511,000, or $114.14 per share, for the same period in 2016. The decrease of $1,166,000, or 46%, was for reasons outlined above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since our inception, we have raised capital through the public and private sale of debt and equity, funding from collaborative arrangements, and grants. At June 30, 2017, we had cash of approximately $8,000 and a negative working capital of approximately $9.7 million.

Our major cash flows for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 consisted of cash out-flows of $277,000 from operations, including approximately $1,180,000 of net loss, and a net change from financing activities of $271,000, which primarily represented the proceeds received from proceeds from debt financing.

On May 17, 2017, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Eagle Equities, LLC, providing for the purchase by Eagle of two convertible redeemable notes in the aggregate principal amount of $88,000, with the first note being in the amount of $44,000, and the second note being in the amount of $44,000. The first note was fully funded on May 19, 2017, upon which we received $40,000 of net proceeds (net of a 10% original issue discount). The second note will initially be paid for by the issuance of an offsetting $40,000 secured note issued by Eagle. Eagle is required to pay the principal amount of its secured note in cash and in full prior to executing any conversions under the second note we issued. The notes bear an interest rate of 8%, and are due and payable on May 17, 2018. The notes may be converted by Eagle at any time after five months from issuance into shares of our common stock (as determined in the notes) calculated at the time of conversion, except for the second note, which also requires full payment by Eagle of the secured note it issued to us before conversions may be made. The conversion price of the notes will be equal to 60% of the lowest trading price of the common stock for the 20 prior trading days including the day upon which we receive a notice of conversion. The notes may be prepaid in accordance with the terms set forth in the notes. The notes also contain certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default including if we are delinquent in our periodic report filings with the SEC, and increases in the amount of the principal and interest rates under the notes in the event of such defaults. In the event of default, at Eagle’s option and in its sole discretion, Eagle may consider the notes immediately due and payable.

On May 17, 2017, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Adar Bays, LLC, providing for the purchase by Adar of two convertible redeemable notes in the aggregate principal amount of $88,000, with the first note being in the amount of $44,000, and the second note being in the amount of $44,000. The first note was fully funded on May 19, 2017, upon which we received $40,000 of net proceeds (net of a 10% original issue discount). The second note will initially be paid for by the issuance of an offsetting $40,000 secured note issued by Adar. Adar is required to pay the principal amount of its secured note in cash and in full prior to executing any conversions under the second note we issued. The notes bear an interest rate of 8%, and are due and payable on May 17, 2018. The notes may be converted by Adar at any time after five months from issuance into shares of our common stock (as determined in the notes) calculated at the time of conversion, except for the second note, which also requires full payment by Adar of the secured note it issued to us before conversions may be made. The conversion price of the notes will be equal to 60% of the lowest trading price of the common stock for the 20 prior trading days including the day upon which we receive a notice of conversion. The notes may be prepaid in accordance with the terms set forth in the notes. The notes also contain certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default including if we are delinquent in our periodic report filings with the SEC, and increases in the amount of the principal and interest rates under the notes in the event of such defaults. In the event of default, at Adar’s option and in its sole discretion, Adar may consider the notes immediately due and payable.

On May 18, 2017, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with GHS Investments, LLC, an existing investor, providing for the purchase by GHS of a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $66,000, for $60,000 in net proceeds (representing a 10% original issue discount). The transaction closed on May 19, 2017. The note matures upon the earlier of our receipt of $100,000 from revenues, loans, investments, or any other means (other than the Eagle and Adar bridge financings) and December 31, 2017. In addition to the 10% original issue discount, the note accrues interest at a rate of 8% per year. We may prepay the note, in whole or in part, for 110% of outstanding principal and interest until 30 days from issuance, for 120% of outstanding principal and interest at any time from 31 to 60 days from issuance and for 140% of outstanding principal and interest at any time from 61 days to 180 days from issuance. The note may not be prepaid after 180 days. After six months from the date of issuance, the note will become convertible, at any time thereafter, in whole or in part, at the holder’s option, into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price equal to 60% of the lowest trading price during the 25 trading days prior to conversion. The note includes customary event of default provisions and a default interest rate of the lesser of 20% per year or the maximum amount permitted by law. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the holder of the note may require us to redeem the note (or convert it into shares of common stock) at 150% of the outstanding principal balance.

We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements, as soon as possible. We cannot be certain that our existing and available capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through the third quarter of 2017. We are evaluating various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including loans.

Generally, substantial capital will be required to develop our products, including completing product testing and clinical trials, obtaining all required U.S. and foreign regulatory approvals and clearances, and commencing and scaling up manufacturing and marketing our products. Any failure to obtain capital would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Based on discussions with our customers, we expect to generate purchase orders for approximately $3 million to $4 million in LuViva devices and disposables in 2017, and expect those purchase orders to result in actual sales of $750,000 to $1 million in 2017, representing what we view as current demand for our products. We cannot be assured that we will generate all or any of these additional purchase orders, or that existing orders will not be canceled by the customers or that parts to build product will be available to meet demand, such that existing orders will result in actual sales. Because we have a short history of sales of our products, we cannot confidently predict future sales of our products beyond this time frame, and cannot be assured of any particular amount of sales. Accordingly, we have not identified any particular trends with regard to sales of our products. We currently do not have cash on hand sufficient to build the inventory required to fill these orders, and material delays in product deliveries could result in canceled orders.

Our financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming we will continue as a going concern. The above factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as more fully discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained herein and in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm accompanying our financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements, no special purpose entities, and no activities that include non-exchange-traded contracts accounted for at fair value.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2017. The controls and system currently used by the Company to calculate and record inventory is not operating effectively. Additionally, the Company lacks the resources to properly research and account for complex transactions. The combination of these controls deficiencies have resulted in a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were not effective as of June 30, 2017 to provide reasonable assurance that (1) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit 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, and (2) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be attained.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the disposition of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. See Note 6 to the financial statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
