BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
|
GTX Corp
and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “GTX”) develops and integrates miniaturized
Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking and cellular location technology for
consumer products and service applications. GTX owns 100% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Global Trek Xploration, acquired on March 14, 2008,
LOCiMOBILE, Inc, incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 14, 2008 and
Code Amber News Service, Inc. (“CANS”) incorporated in the State of Nevada on
February 11, 2009. LOCiMOBILE, Inc. has developed and owns LOCi
Mobile™, a suite of mobile tracking applications that turn the latest iPhone and
other GPS enabled handsets into a tracking device which can then be tracked
through our Location Data Center tracking portal. CANS is a U.S. and
Canadian syndicator of all state Amber Alerts providing website tickers and news
feeds to merchants, internet service providers, affiliate partners, corporate
sponsors and local, state and federal agencies.
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GTX Corp have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for interim financial information and applicable regulations of
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of
operations have been included. Our operating results for the quarter
ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for future quarters and the year ending December 31, 2009. The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2008, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K,
and the risk factors contained therein.
The
preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
requires the use of estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. These estimates
include, but are not limited to, estimates related to revenue recognition,
allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, tangible and intangible
long-term asset valuation, warranty and other obligations and commitments.
Estimates are updated on an ongoing basis and are evaluated based on historical
experience and current circumstances. Changes in facts and circumstances
in the future may give rise to changes in these estimates which may cause actual
results to differ from current estimates.
The
consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of GTX Corp and its
wholly owned subsidiaries; Global Trek Xploration, LOCiMOBILE, Inc. and Code
Amber News Service, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. For comparability, certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to
the financial statement presentation used in 2009.

Fair Value
Measurement
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
Accounting Standard Number 157 (“SFAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements,
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value and enhances disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was
effective for financial assets and financial liabilities for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. Where the measurement objective
specifically requires the use of “fair value”, the Company has adopted the
provisions of SFAS 157 related to financial assets and financial liabilities as
of December 30, 2007. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS 157 with respect to non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had no assets or liabilities
required to be measured at fair value.

EQUITY
|
Common
Stock
During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued 575,000 shares of
common stock subject to restrictions upon transfer pursuant to Rule 144, as
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to various member of
management, employees and consultants at values ranging from $0.063 to $0.15 per
share as compensation for services rendered, the grant-date fair value of which
was estimated at $35,280.
During
May 2008, the Company entered into a one year agreement with a third-party
public relations firm. The terms of the agreement include the
issuance of 17,500 shares of common stock to be paid to the public relations
firm in 4 equal installments. The 17,500 shares of common stock have
been issued and are held by the company in escrow to be delivered to the public
relations firm in four equal quarterly installments during the 1-year term of
the agreement. The fair value of these shares was estimated to be
$37,625 based on the
market price of the securities, as quoted on the OTCBB on the date of
issuance. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, $9,406 has
been expensed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to
this agreement.
Common Stock
Warrants
Since
inception, the Company has issued numerous warrants to purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock to shareholders, consultants and employees as

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 2 of Part I of this
report include forward-looking statements. These forward looking statements are
based on our management’s current expectations and beliefs and involve numerous
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from expectations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as "may," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates,"
"believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "proposed," "intended," or
"continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You
should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss
our expectations about our future operating results or our future financial
condition or state other "forward-looking" information. Many factors could cause
our actual results to differ materially from those projected in these
forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: variability of our
revenues and financial performance; risks associated with product development
and technological changes; the acceptance our products in the marketplace by
existing and potential future customers; general economic conditions. You should
be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in this Quarterly
Report could substantially harm our business, results of operations and
financial condition, and that upon the occurrence of any of these events, the
trading price of our securities could decline. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, levels of activity, performance
or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking
statements after the date of this Quarterly Report to conform these statements
to actual results.
Introduction
As used
in this Quarterly Report, the terms "we", "us", "our", “Registrant”, “this
company” and "GTX Corp" mean GTX Corp and our operational wholly-owned
subsidiaries.
GTX Corp
was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 7, 2006 under its former name
“Deeas Resources Inc.” On March 14, 2008, we acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock of Global Trek Xploration, a California corporation
(“GTX California”), in exchange for the issuance of 18,000,001 shares of GTX
Corp common stock (the “Exchange Transaction”).
Although
we acquired GTX California in the Exchange Transaction, for accounting purposes,
the Exchange Agreement was treated as an acquisition of GTX Corp and a
recapitalization of GTX California. Accordingly, the financial
statements contained in this Quarterly Report, and the following description of
our results of operations and financial condition, reflect (i) the operations of
GTX California alone prior to the Exchange Transaction, and (ii) the combined
results of this company and all of its three subsidiaries since the Exchange
Transaction.
Immediately
following the closing of the Exchange Transaction, in a private placement we
sold $2,000,000 of our securities to qualified investors (the
“Financing”). In the Financing, we sold an aggregate total of
2,666,668 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.75 per Unit. Each Unit consists of
one share of common stock and one warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase one share of
common stock. Each Warrant is exercisable into an additional common share for a
period of eighteen (18) months with respect to the first 1,666,666 Warrants
issued and for a period of twelve (12) months with respect to the remaining
1,000,002 Warrants issued at an exercise price of $1.25 per
share. Eighteen (18) month warrants were issued to six (6) investors
and twelve (12) month warrants were issued to two (2)
investors.
10
At
closing of the Exchange Transaction, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we also
converted a $1,000,000 bridge loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest, made by
Jupili Investment S.A. to GTX California (“Bridge Loan”) into Units at a
conversion price of $0.75 per Unit, based upon the same terms and conditions as
the Financing. Thus, concurrently with the Exchange Transaction, we also issued
1,374,334 shares of common stock to Jupili and eighteen (18) month Warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 1,374,334 shares of our common stock to
Jupili.
In May
2008 we completed a second private placement (the “Additional Financing”) of
1,732,000 units (“Additional Units”) of our securities. The
Additional Units were sold at a price of $1.00 per Additional Unit for aggregate

LOCiMOBILE,
Inc. has been developing an application for GPS enabled handsets that
permit authorized users the ability to locate and track the movement of
the holder of the handset. On April 30, 2009, LOCiMOBILE, Inc.
launched LOCiMe, its first in a series of geo-specific applications that
transform iPhones into real time, GPS transceivers. LOCiMe
utilizes the phone’s cell based Web services (HTTP) to transmit its
latitude and longitude coordinates to the GTX/PLS Portal allowing
authorized friends, co-worker and loved ones to know; where you are, where
you have been, how fast you are moving, and what direction you are
heading. LOCiMOBILE, Inc. expects to release this service for
other GPS enabled handsets in the near
future.

Revenues
Revenues
for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 consisted primarily of monthly service and
licensing fees charged to a re-seller of our gpVectorTM Powered
Athlete Tracking Systems. We also recognized some revenues from the
sale of CANS subscriptions. Revenues during the quarter ended March
31, 2008 consisted primarily of various one-time design and enhancement services
billed to the same re-seller to allow our GPS technology to better integrate
into the re-seller’s product, as well as the re-seller’s purchase of website
design and functionality services from us in anticipation of the re-seller’s
product launch in the third quarter of 2008.
Cost
of goods sold
Cost of
goods sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 consisted primarily of
monthly cellular costs incurred on our gpVectorTM Powered
Athlete Tracking System devices. Cost of goods sold during the
quarter ended March 31, 2008 consisted of the cost of the design and enhancement
services we provided to the re-seller discussed above to allow our GPS
technology to better integrate into their products and the cost to provide the
reseller website design and functionality services.
Salaries
and professional fees
Salaries
and professional fees consist of costs attributable to employees, consultants
and contractors who primarily spend their time on sales, marketing and corporate
administrative services; legal fees relating to general corporate matters and
our patent applications; and accounting expenses. Salaries and
professional fees during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased
approximately $374,000 or 41% in comparison to the same quarter in 2008 due
primarily to lower legal and accounting fees in 2009. During the
quarter ended March 31, 2008, this company incurred approximately $261,000 of
legal and accounting fees relating to the Exchange Transaction and the related
Financing. In conjunction with the creation of the 2008 Equity
Compensation Plan, we granted options to purchase a total of 3,945,000 shares of
common stock and we issued 480,000 shares of common stock, resulting in an
expense of approximately $380,000. These equity based costs were
either not incurred or were substantially less in the quarter ended March 31,
2009. The reduction in legal and accounting fees was offset by an
increase in the number of consultants needed for the development of our
products, as well as stock based compensation expense related to our 2008 Equity
Compensation Plan.
12
Research
and development
Research
and development expense consists of costs attributable to employees, consultants
and contractors who primarily spend their time on the design, engineering and
process development of our personal location services platform and LOCi
Mobile™. Research and development during the quarter ended March 31,
2009 decreased approximately $27,000 or 26% in comparison to the same quarter in
2008 due primarily to our gpVectorTM Powered
Athlete Tracking System moving substantially out of the research and development
stage during the latter part of fiscal 2008.
General
and administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate administrative costs,
depreciation, occupancy costs and travel and entertainment. General
and administrative expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased
approximately $25,000 or 42% in comparison to the same quarter in
2008. The increase in costs is primarily the result of the increase
in occupancy costs related to the northern California office established in June
2008 and an overall increase in business activity during fiscal
2008.
Other
Income (Expense)
During
the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $15,372 and $2,186,
respectively, of interest income. The increase in interest income of
approximately $13,000 or 603% is attributable to our increase in the average
amount of cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit during the
quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same quarter in 2008.
During
the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $0 and $62,511,
respectively, of interest expense. The interest expense in 2008 was primarily
attributed to a $40,000 fee paid in conjunction with the Financing, which closed
on March 14, 2008, as well as interest expense on the Note Payable to Jupili
accruing at 10% per annum during the first quarter of 2008. The Note
Payable was converted to common stock in connection with the Exchange
Transaction during March 2008.
Net
Loss
Net loss
for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased approximately $445,000 or 40% in
comparison to the net loss during the quarter ended March 31,
2008. The decrease in the net loss is primarily due to a reduction in
salaries and professional fees.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
March 31, 2009, we had working capital of $1,457,000 and a current ratio of 4.8
to 1 as compared to working capital of $1,990,000 and a current ratio of 7.2 to
1 as of December 31, 2008.
13
Our net
loss decreased to $664,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to a
net loss of approximately $1,109,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
2008. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately
$477,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to approximately $579,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in cash used in
operating activities is primarily attributable to a reduction in the amounts
paid for accounting and legal services during the quarter ended March 31,
2009.
Net cash
used in investing activities during the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
was approximately $23,000 and $4,000, respectively and consisted primarily of
the purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash
provided by financing activities during the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and
2008 was approximately $0 and $2,399,000, respectively. The net cash
provided by financing activities during 2008 was due to this company issuing
2,666,668 shares of common stock in the Financing resulting in proceeds of
$2,000,000. We also received $399,000 from the exercise of warrants
during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008. No shares were sold,
and no warrants were exercised during the 2009 fiscal quarter.
We currently rely on the cash we
received from our prior financing activities to fund our capital expenditures
and to support our working capital requirements. We believe that we
have sufficient capital resources to fund our operations for at least for the
next four fiscal quarters, assuming that there are no unanticipated material
adverse developments. We expect that future cash requirements will
principally be for capital expenditures and working capital
requirements.
Future
Financings
As a
result of the Exchange Transaction with Global Trek Xploration, we began
operating as a GPS technology company as of March 14, 2008. We are focused on
the development of a personal location device system (GpVector™) for licensing
out to technology partners seeking to enable their products with GPS tracking
capabilities. We had our initial launch of the GpVector™ during the third calendar
quarter of 2008. Since inception, we have generated significant losses. As of
March 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $8,106,000. As a
consolidated entity, we expect to incur continual losses until sometime in
calendar year 2010.
Over the
next nine months, we expect to devote approximately $200,000 to continue our
research and development efforts to include all aspects of hardware, software
and interface customization, and website development. In addition, during that
time period we expect to expend approximately $120,000 to develop our sales,
marketing and manufacturing programs associated with the commercialization and
licensing of the GpVector™
technology and the commercialization of LOCi Mobile™ and CANS. We expect
to fund general overhead requirements using cash on hand.
Our
funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including:
|
·
|
Costs
involved in the completion of the hardware, software and interface
customization, and website necessary to continue the commercialization of
the GpVector™;
|
|
·
|
The
costs of outsourced manufacturing;
|
|
·
|
The
costs of licensing activities, including product marketing and
advertising; and
|
|
·
|
Our
revenues from product sales and the licensing of the GpVector™ technology, LOCi
Mobile™ and CANS.
|
14
As noted
above, based on budgeted expenditures, we believe that we will have sufficient
liquidity to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months. If our
planned expenses increase, our existing resources could prove to be insufficient
to satisfy our liquidity requirements during that timeframe, and we will need to
raise additional external funds through the sale of additional equity or debt
securities. In any event, we expect that unless our sales increase
significantly, we may need to raise additional funds in approximately 12 months
to finance the costs of ongoing research and development and related expenses,
as well as sales and marketing expenses. The sale of additional equity
securities will result in additional dilution to our shareholders. Sale of debt
securities could involve substantial operational and financial covenants that
might inhibit our ability to follow our business plan. Additional financing may
not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us or at
all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be
required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned
research, development and commercialization activities, which could harm our
financial conditions and operating results.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet
arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future
effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that is material to investors.
Inflation
We do not
believe our business and operations have been materially affected by
inflation.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
There are
no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates described
in the section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” under Item
7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS
No. 141R broadens the guidance of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to
all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one
or more other businesses. It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition
of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result
of business combinations; and stipulates that acquisition related costs be
expensed rather than included as part of the basis of the acquisition. SFAS No.
141R expands required disclosures to improve the ability to evaluate the nature
and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS No. 141R is effective for
all transactions entered into, on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this
standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.
SFAS No. 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivative
instruments and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how
an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related
hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and the impact of derivative
instruments and related hedged items on an entity’s financial position,
financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective on January 1,
2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our
consolidated financial statements.
15
In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve
financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for
selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements
that are presented in conformity with GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS
No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.” We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material
impact on this company’s results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.
In June
2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument
(or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock
(“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step
approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded
feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s
contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of
foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock
option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 133
- specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a
derivative but is both (a) indexed to this company's own stock and (b)
classified in stockholders' equity in the statement of financial position would
not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a new
two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an
embedded feature is indexed to an issuer's own stock and thus able to qualify
for the SFAS No. 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. The adoption of EITF Issue
No. 07-5 did not have an impact on this company’s consolidated financial
statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a
“smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information
under this Item 3.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this
report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon the evaluation, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation
Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure
controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange
Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls
include controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure 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.

were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred
during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
