ORGANIZATION AND
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
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 Corp owns 100% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Global Trek Xploration, LOCiMOBILE, Inc, and Code Amber News Service, Inc.
(“CANS”). LOCiMOBILE, Inc.
has developed and owns LOCiMobile™, a suite of mobile tracking applications that
turn the iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and other GPS enabled handsets into a
tracking device which can then be viewed from handset to handset or through our
Location Data Center tracking portal and which allows the user to send a map to
the recipient’s phone showing the user’s location. 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 nine
months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. The accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2009, 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.
Reclassifications
For
comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified, where
appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in
2010.
Fair Value Measurements and
Financial Instruments
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to
be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the
use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of
ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or
operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.
6
ASC
defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of
valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized
below:
|
Level 1:
|
Observable
inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities
|
|
Level 2:
|
Observable
market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market
data
|
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable
inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use
of the reporting entity’s own
assumptions.
|
The
Company’s balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash,
accounts receivable, inventory, other assets, accounts payable, convertible
promissory note payable and derivative liabilities. The carrying
amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value
because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these
instruments and their expected realization.
Derivative
Instruments
Our debt
or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as
conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be
bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a
derivative instrument liability.
New
Accounting Standards
In
September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Accounting standards Update No. 2009-13, “Multiple Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements – A consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU
2009-13”). The guidance provides principles and application guidance
on whether multiple deliverables exist, determining the unit of accounting for
each deliverable, and the consideration allocated to the separate units of
accounting. Additionally, this guidance requires an entity to
allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of
deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence
(“VSOE”) or third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), eliminates the use of
the residual method, and requires an entity to allocate revenue using the
relative selling price method. However, guidance on determining when
the criteria for revenue recognition are met and how an entity should recognize
revenue for a given unit of accounting are contained in other accounting
literature and are not changed by ASU 2009-13. The guidance in ASU
2009-13 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We have
evaluated the potential impact of this standard and expect it will have no
significant impact on our financial position or results of
operations.
7
In
September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue
Arrangements That Include Software Elements – A consensus of the FASB Emerging
Issues Task Force” (“ASU 2009-14”) which amends ASC 985-605, “Software: Revenue
Recognition” to exclude from its scope certain tangible products containing both
software and non-software components that function together to deliver the
product’s essential functionality. This guidance focuses on determining
which arrangements are within the scope of the software revenue guidance in
Topic 985 (previously included in AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”)) and which are not. This guidance also removes
tangible products from the scope of the software revenue guidance and provides
guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that
include a tangible product are within the scope of the software revenue
guidance. This guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or
materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and
shall be applied on a prospective basis. We have evaluated the
potential impact of this standard and expect it will have no significant impact
on our financial position or results of operations.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06,
“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures
about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires some new
disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value
measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. ASU 2010-06 amends
Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require (1) a reporting entity to
disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1
and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers;
(2) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant
unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information
about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements, and (3) a reporting
entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used
to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value
measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about
purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in
Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within
those fiscal years. We have evaluated the potential impact of this standard and
expect it will have no significant impact on our financial position or results
of operations.
In April
2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010 – 17, “Revenue Recognition – Milestone
Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.” ASU
2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be
appropriate to apply the milestone of revenue recognition for certain research
and development transactions. Under this new standard, a company can
recognize as revenue consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a
milestone in the period in which it is achieved, only if the milestone meets all
criteria to be considered substantive. This standard will be
effective for us on a prospective basis for periods beginning after January 1,
2011. We have evaluated the potential impact of this standard and
expect it will have no significant impact on our financial position or results
of operations.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY
NOTE PAYABLE
|
On
September 14, 2010 the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note in the
principal amount of $45,000 (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at
8% per annum and matures on June 15, 2011. Under the Convertible
Promissory Note Agreement, beginning 180 days following the date of the Note,
the lender has the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and
unpaid principal of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock; provided
however, that in no event shall the lender be entitled to convert any portion of
the Note that would result in the beneficial ownership by it and its affiliates
of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common
stock. The Note is convertible at a variable conversion price which
is calculated based on 60% of the average of the five closing prices of the
Company’s common stock during the five trading day period ending one trading day
prior to the date the conversion notice is sent by the lender.
In
connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company has applied the guidance
of FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40. Accordingly, the conversion feature is accounted
for as a derivative liability at the date of issuance and adjusted to fair value
through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value was estimated on the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following
weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility
of 80%; risk-free interest rate of .2% and an expected holding period of 9
months. The resulting value, at the date of issuance, was allocated to the
proceeds received and applied as a discount to the face value of the Convertible
Promissory Note; The Company has recognized a derivative liability of $35,253 at
the date of issuance, which also approximates the fair value of the derivative
at September 30, 2010.

EQUITY
|
Common
Stock
During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 the Company issued 511,667
and 1,118,053 shares of common stock, respectively, under the Company’s 2008
Equity Compensation Plan to various members of management, employees and
consultants as compensation for services rendered. Included in these
issuances were grants of 476,667 and 566,053 shares during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2010, valued at $69,300 and $85,300, respectively, to
a consultant for services related to the development of our mobile phone
applications and accordingly, the value is capitalized as Property and Equipment
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and will be depreciated through
cost of goods sold. The remaining shares issued, 35,000 (valued at
$4,060) and 552,000 (value at $91,280) during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010, respectively, were expensed as stock based compensation in
the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. During the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 the Company issued 44,116 and
524,116 shares of such common stock, respectively, valued at $60,000 and
$420,000, respectively.
In
addition to the shares issued under the 2008 Equity Compensation Plan, the
Company issued 2,116,666 and 2,459,195 shares of common stock during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, subject to restrictions
upon transfer pursuant to Rule 144, as promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, to various members of management, employees and consultants as
compensation for services. Included in these issuances were shares
issued to consultants for services which had not yet been fully
rendered. During September 2010, a three month consulting agreement
for public relations services was entered into for which 250,000 shares of
common stock, valued at $29,000, were issued. As of September 30,
2010, $9,333 had been expensed as stock based compensation expense and $19,667
remained as a prepaid asset and will be amortized to stock based compensation
expense over the life of the contract. In July 2010, 1,050,000 shares
of common stock were issued to members of management and board
members. The shares contain repurchase rights whereby the Company
retains the rights to acquire the shares from the stock recipients and such
repurchase rights lapse ratably over twelve months at a rate of 1/12th per
month beginning on July 31, 2010. At the date of issuance, the shares
were valued at par ($.001 per share) and recorded as an Other Current Asset in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The related stock
based compensation expense is recorded in conjunction with the monthly vesting
based on the average stock priced during the respective
month. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2010, $19,793 was expensed as
stock based compensation expense. Additionally, in May 2010
consulting agreements with two separate contractors were entered into to provide
public relations and marketing services to the Company for three to six month
terms for which a total of 48,529 shares of common stock were
issued. The shares were valued at $8,250, of which $4,125 was
expensed during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and $4,125 was
expensed during the three months ended June 30, 2010. The remaining
shares issued, 816,666 (valued at $108,974) and 1,110,666 (valued at $158,173)
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, were

public relations firm. The terms of the agreement included the
issuance of 17,500 shares of common stock to be paid to the public relations

issued during 2008 and were held by the Company in escrow to be delivered to the
public relations firm in four equal quarterly instalments 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2009,
$0 and $12,542, respectively, had been expensed in the accompanying consolidated

4. COMMITMENTS &
CONTINGENCIES
From time
to time, we may be involved in routine legal proceedings, as well as demands,
claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our
business. The ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any claims of any type
(either alone or in the aggregate) may materially and adversely affect our
financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the
ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Any outcome, whether favorable
or unfavorable, may materially and adversely affect us due to legal costs and
expenses, diversion of management attention and other factors. We expense legal
costs in the period incurred. We cannot assure you that additional contingencies
of a legal nature or contingencies having legal aspects will not be asserted
against us in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current or
future transactions or events. Except as described below, we are not currently a
party to any material litigation.
A lawsuit
has been filed against the Company by a former consultant who claims we owe him
$23,912 plus interest and attorney fees for services he rendered to the Company
during 2009. We contend that the services in question were not
performed, not approved or not delivered and accordingly, no additional payments
are due to the former consultant. We have countersued the former
consultant and intend to defend this case vigorously. The outcome of
the lawsuit is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
condition or operations.

5. SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
In
connection with the Company’s equity line financing agreement it has entered
into with Dutchess, the Company sold 659,124 shares of common stock to Dutchess
during October and November 2010 at approximately $.10 per share, resulting in
proceeds of approximately $66,000.

$45,000) to various consultants and contractors for services
rendered.

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", and “the Company” mean
GTX Corp and our three wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Operations
GTX Corp
provides various interrelated and complimentary products and services in the GPS
Tracking and Personal Location Services marketplace. We currently conduct our
operations through three wholly-owned subsidiaries that operate in related
sectors of the personal location-based market. In general our
subsidiaries consist of the following:
|
·
|
Global
Trek Xploration (“GTX California”), offers a GPS and cellular location
hardware and software platform that enables subscribers to track in real
time the whereabouts of people, pets or high valued assets through a
miniaturized transceiver module, wireless connectivity gateway, middleware
and viewing portal. On March 18, 2010, GTX California entered
into a four-year agreement with Aetrex Worldwide, Inc. (“Aetrex”) pursuant
to which we granted Aetrex the right to embed our GPS tracking device into
certain footwear products manufactured and sold by
Aetrex. Aetrex Worldwide, Inc. is a global leader in
pedorthic footwear and foot orthotics. Aetrex has certain
exclusive and non-exclusive rights under this agreement. In
order to retain its exclusive rights, Aetrex must purchase 156,000 devices
from us over the four-year term of the license agreement commencing with
6,000 GPS tracking devices in the first year, 25,000 devices during the
second year, 50,000 during the third year, and 75,000 devices during the
fourth year. The end-users of the GPS enabled Aetrex shoes,
expected to be predominately seniors afflicted with dementia, will also
pay us a monthly service fee, a portion of which will be shared with
Aetrex. On June 30, 2010, Aetrex issued its first purchase
order for 3,000 devices. The Aetrex shoe is scheduled to be
released in the first quarter of
2011.

14
On May
28, 2010, the Company entered into a three year agreement with Midnite Air Corp
(“MNX”) granting MNX the exclusive rights to the GPS tracking platform for use
in the transportation of high valued assets. In order to retain
exclusive rights, MNX must purchase a minimum of 15,000 devices over the three
year term at 5,000 per year and activate each device with a monthly monitoring
subscription. Each device shipped will automatically be activated
within 90 days of receipt with a monthly data monitoring and connectivity
subscription fee.
Increasing
our international distribution, on June 30, 2010, the Company entered into an
agreement with Tracking Central, an Australian based
company. Tracking Central has licensed the GTX platform and began
paying a per device monthly subscription in August 2010.

·
|
Our
LOCiMOBILE, Inc. subsidiary has developed, and launched applications for
the iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, Samsung bada and other GPS enabled
handsets that permit authorized users to locate and track the movement of
the holder of the handset. As of November 8, 2010, we offer a
total of seventeen (17) mobile phone applications (“Apps”) that run on six
(6) different platforms (iPhone, BlackBerry Google Android, iPad, Web and
Samsung bada). Our Apps have been downloaded over 750,000 times
in 99 countries with two of our Apps on the iTunes top 25 social
networking category, reaching number seven on the downloads list, number
two on the highest grossing list and iTunes “What’s Hot”
list. Continuing with our platform expansion, during July 2010
we signed a binding contract with Samsung Electronics to develop 2 GPS
tracking Apps for their new mobile operating system and platform –
bada. In addition, we recently launched our first monthly paid
subscription real-time tracking applications on the BlackBerry and Google
Android operating systems. There are currently several new Apps in
development and scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of
2010. These include a series of applications that will run on
Samsung’s new bada platform, additional applications for the iPad and
other tablets and more applications for the iPhone, BlackBerry and Google
Android operating systems all of which should further contribute to our
user base community, the value of our brand and revenue increases from App
sales, monthly subscriptions and
advertising. During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010, our Apps generated revenues of approximately $80,000
and $251,000, respectively.

Revenues
Revenues
during the three months ended September 30, 2010 were derived from all
three subsidiaries, from multiple channels, both domestic and international, and
from both enterprise customers and consumers. Revenues, generated
from the sale of our geo-specific Apps, during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 totalled approximately $80,000 and $251,000, respectively.
Sales of the LOCiMOBILE® products are expected to increase as more LOCiMOBILE®
applications are developed and newer versions of the existing
LOCiMOBILE® products are released; and as those products become more
available on more Smartphone and tablet platforms. The remainder
of our revenues were generated from platform product test agreements, hardware
products such as the miniMT and micro LOCi devices, portal software licensing
and monthly subscriptions, advertising, Code Amber annual news feed
subscriptions, points of display sponsorships and the Code Amber
Alertags.
Cost
of goods sold
Cost of
goods sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 consisted
primarily of the cost to sell the LOCiMOBILE® applications, as well as
depreciation on the capitalized costs of the applications and the cost of the
miniMT and micro LOCi devices. Cost of goods sold during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009 consisted primarily of the monthly cellular
costs to run our gpVectorTM Powered
connectivity gateway. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues
fluctuates based on the sales mix of hardware products, Apps and other revenues
streams during any period.
Salaries
and professional fees
Salaries
and professional fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010
increased by 8% and 0%, respectively, in comparison to the comparable 2009
period. The stabilization during the nine months ended September 30,
2010, despite a 74% increase in revenues, is due to continued efforts by
management to cut expenses in light of the downturn in the
economy. The increase during the three months ended September 30,
2010 is due to stock granted to both consultants and employees valued at
approximately $136,000 compared to approximately $16,000 in the comparable 2009
period. Such stock was granted primarily to consultants for public
relations and marketing services for the Company. In order to better manage our
cash situation and continue to utilize high level employees and consultants, the
Company has elected to compensate such employees and consultants in stock (and
options) rather than cash. These increases were then offset by cost
cutting measures that resulted in decreases in amounts expensed for salaries and
professional fees that were paid or to be paid in cash, as well as decreases in
stock based compensation expense related to our 2008 Equity Compensation
Plan.
17
Research
and development
Research
and development expense consist 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, GTX smart shoe
and LOCiMOBILE® applications for smart phones and the
iPad. Research and development expenses increased 370% during
the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the comparable three
month period in 2009. This substantial increase is due primarily to
costs attributable to our gpVectorTM powered
athlete tracking system, (the “Tracking System”) which had been classified
as cost of goods sold up until October 2009, being reclassified to research and
development expense. The change in classification resulted from the
re-seller of the Tracking System defaulting on their licensing agreement in
September 2009. As revenues ceased being recognized from the
re-seller, related costs associated with the Tracking System could no longer be
classified as cost of goods sold. We are obligated to continue paying
these costs which approximate $12,900 per quarter until December 2010. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2010, research and development expense
decreased 36% in comparison to the comparable 2009 periods. The
decrease is the result of our platform being substantially completed during
April 2010, and thus, research and development related to our
LOCiMOBILE® applications decreased substantially. Upon reaching
technological feasibility during fiscal year 2009 we began capitalizing the
applicable costs as software development and expensing the related depreciation
as cost of goods sold.
General
and administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate administrative costs,
depreciation, occupancy costs, insurance and travel and
entertainment. General and administrative expenses during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased 43% and 17%,
respectively, in comparison to the same period in 2009 due primarily
to $40,000 of bad debt expense recognized in September 2009, as well as a
recruiting fee of $26,000 incurred during April 2009, neither of which were
incurred during 2010. Additionally, we have instituted various cost
cutting measures resulting in decreases in general office and travel
expenses. These decreases were then offset by an increase in
depreciation expense.
Other
Income
Other
income consists of interest income earned on our cash
balances. Interest income during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 decreased 100% and 98%, respectively, in comparison to
the same period in 2009 due to the Company having less cash in interest bearing
accounts in 2010.
Net
Loss
Net loss
for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased 6% and for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 decreased 7%, in comparison to the net loss
during the same period in 2009
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
September 30, 2010, we had approximately $19,000 in cash, $131,000 of other
current assets and current liabilities of approximately $456,000, resulting in a
working capital deficit of approximately $305,000, compared to working capital
of approximately $216,000 and a current ratio of 1.8 to 1 as of December 31,
2009.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2010 our net loss decreased to
approximately $1,444,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $1,560,000
for the comparable period in 2009. Net cash used in operating
activities was approximately $744,000 and $1,180,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cash used in
operations in 2010 was only $744,000 despite a net loss of
approximately $1,444,000 due to a $505,000 non-cash charge for stock
compensation, depreciation of $134,000 and an increase in accrued expenses and
accounts payable.
Net cash
used in investing activities during the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 was approximately $119,000 and consisted primarily of
payments for the development of our LOCiMOBILE® products, which payments were
capitalized. Net cash provided by investing activities during the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $828,000 and
resulted primarily from the maturing of certificates of deposits totaling
$1,000,000.
18
Net cash
provided by financing activities during the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $428,000 and $0,
respectively. Net cash from financing activities primarily consist of
proceeds received from the sale of shares in private placements and from an
equity line financing agreement. In order to provide us with the
funds necessary, from time to time, to cover our operating expenses, on November
16, 2009, we entered into an Investment Agreement ("Investment Agreement") with
Dutchess Equity Fund, L.P. (now known as Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP)
(“Dutchess”). Under that Investment Agreement, we have the right to
put (sell) to Dutchess up to $10,000,000 of our common stock over the course of
thirty-six months (this facility is herein referred to as the "Equity
Line"). The maximum amount that the Company is entitled to put in any
one notice is 200% of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the common
stock for the three (3) trading days prior to the date of delivery of the
applicable put notice, multiplied by the average of the closing prices for such
trading days. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, we sold 1,340,982 shares of common stock to Dutchess at
prices ranging from $0.112 - $0.17 per share in connection with our Equity Line,
resulting in proceeds of approximately $198,000. Subsequent to
September 30, 2010, we sold to Dutchess 659,124 shares of our common stock at
approximately $0.10 per share for proceeds of approximately
$66,000. We intend to continue to use the Equity Line from time to
time to provide us with additional working capital.
On
September 14, 2010, we entered into a convertible promissory note (the
“Promissory Note”) with a third-party in the amount of $45,000. The
Promissory Note bears interest at 8% per annum and matures on June 15,
2011. Beginning 180 days following the date of the note the lender
has the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal
of the Note into shares of the Company’s common; provided however, that in no
event shall the lender be entitled to convert any portion of the Note that would
result in the beneficial ownership by it and its affiliates of more than 4.99%
of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Note is
convertible at a variable conversion price which is calculated based on 60% of
the average of the five closing prices of the Company’s common stock during the
five trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date the conversion
notice is sent by the lender.
Because
revenues from our operations have, to date, been modest, we currently rely on
the cash we receive from financing activities (including the Equity Line we
entered into with Dutchess) to fund our capital expenditures and to support our
working capital requirements. Unless our revenues from operations
increase materially in the near future, we will have to continue to rely on the
sale of securities to fund our operations. In addition, even if our
revenues increase, we may still need to raise funds from the sale of securities
if our actual cash expenditures exceed our planned expenditures, particularly if
we invest in the development of improved versions of our existing products
and technologies, and if we increase our marketing expenses. In the
event that we do not generate the amount of revenues that we anticipate, or if
our expenses exceed our budgeted amounts, we may need to increase our use of the
Equity Line, sell additional securities, or borrow additional
funds. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain
sufficient funds under the Equity Line or from the sale of our securities to
fund any working capital deficits.
19
We
anticipate that we will generate additional revenues, and supplement our
liquidity, as some or all of our pending transactions are
realized. During March 2010, we entered into a licensing agreement
with Aetrex Worldwide, Inc. to market and sell a GPS enabled shoe. We
expect that Aetrex will commercially release the first line of these shoes in
the first quarter of 2011. The sale of these shoes is expected to
generate both one-time product sales (from the sale of our GPS units to Aetrex)
and monthly recurring service revenues (from the users of the GPS enabled
shoes). In May, 2010, we entered into a licensing agreement with
Midnite Air Corp, D/B/A MNX, a worldwide provider of specialty critical and
security sensitive global transportation and logistics services, to use the
Company’s viewing portal, connectivity gateway, SMS gateway and other related
platform tracking technology for tracking freight/cargo. In July 2010, we entered into an
agreement with Samsung Electronics Limited (“Samsung”) to provide online mobile
content and services for mobile devices. Under the Samsung agreement,
we agreed to develop versions of our GPS Tracking applications specifically for
cell phones that run on Samsung’s bada platform. In addition, we are
currently a party to platform test agreements for the development and release of
additional products with other potential customers. Such agreements
currently in place are with B-Cycle LLC and with the Alzheimer
Association. The amount of revenues that we may generate from the
foregoing, and from other pending business activities, is uncertain and no
assurance can be given that the amount of funds we do generate will be
sufficient to fund our operating needs.
In
addition to continuing to incur normal operating expenses, we intend to continue
our research and development efforts for our various technologies and products,
including hardware, software, interface customization, and website development,
and we also expect to further develop our sales, marketing and manufacturing
programs associated with the commercialization and licensing of the gpVector™
technology embedded inside shoes, the expansion of the LOCiMOBILE® applications
for GPS enabled handsets and Code Amber Alertags. These activities
can only be conducted if our liquidity improves. Accordingly, unless
we improve our liquidity, the development of improved products, and our ability
to compete, will be adversely affected.
Our
funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including:
|
·
|
Costs
to continuously upgrade our smart phone Apps and the hardware, software,
interface customization and website used for our gpVectorTM
products;
|
|
·
|
Costs
to create new products and Apps;
|
|
·
|
The
costs of outsourced manufacturing;
|
|
·
|
The
costs of licensing activities, including product marketing and
advertising; and
|
|
·
|
Revenues
derived from product sales and the licensing of the gpVectorTM
technology, the sales of the LOCiMOBILE®
applications, advertising and Alertag sales from
CANS.
|
Based on
currently available funds, our projected revenues and budgeted expenditures, and
anticipated sales of securities (including proceeds from the Equity Line), we do
not believe that we will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our working
capital cash requirements for the next twelve months without raising additional
capital. Although we believe that revenues from both the sales of our
Apps and our GPS units (to Aetrex and otherwise) will increase during the
balance of 2010, we currently do not anticipate that such increases will occur
in time to fund our anticipated future working capital
needs. Accordingly, we currently expect that, even if our sales
increase, we will have to raise some additional funds during 2010, either
through the Equity Line, private offerings or otherwise. No assurance
can be given that we will be able to raise the funds necessary to fully fund our
operations, or that those funds will be available to us when
needed. The sale of additional equity securities will result in
additional dilution to our existing stockholders. 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 on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we
are unable to obtain additional financing (through the Equity Line, private
financings or otherwise), we will have 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.
20
Since
inception in 2002, we have generated significant losses (as of September 30,
2010, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $11,011,000), and we
currently expect to incur continued losses until our sales and subscription
initiatives collectively generate substantial revenues. Depending on
our current contractual arrangements, the revenues from our new LOCiMOBILE®
applications and the sale of GPS enabled Aetrex shoes, we currently anticipate
that our negative cash flow from operations will continue until at least the
second half of calendar year 2011. We are subject to many risks
associated with small and growing businesses, including the above-discussed
risks associated with the ability to raise capital. Please see the section
entitled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2009 for more information regarding risks associated with our
business.
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

2009.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a

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.
21
Changes
in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There
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.
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time
to time, we may be involved in routine legal proceedings, as well as demands,
claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our
business. The ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any claims of any type
(either alone or in the aggregate) may materially and adversely affect our
financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the
ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Any outcome, whether favorable
or unfavorable, may materially and adversely affect us due to legal costs and
expenses, diversion of management attention and other factors. We expense legal
costs in the period incurred. We cannot assure you that additional contingencies
of a legal nature or contingencies having legal aspects will not be asserted
against us in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current or
future transactions or events. Except as described below, we are not currently a
party to any material litigation.
We are
not a party to any material legal proceedings. We are not aware of
any pending or threatened litigation against us that we expect will have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, or
operating results. However, legal claims are inherently uncertain, and we cannot
assure you that we will not be adversely affected in the future by legal
proceedings.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS.
The
discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk
factors contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC, which describe
various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. Except as
set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors
previously disclosed in the above-mentioned periodic report.
We
will need additional funding in the near future to continue to fund our current
level of operations.
As of
September 30, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $305,000
and an accumulated deficit of approximately $11,011,000. In addition, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we had a loss of approximately
$1,444,000 and negative cash flow from operating activities of approximately
$744,000. Therefore, we will have to obtain additional funding from the sale of
our securities or from strategic transactions in order to fund our current level
of operations. We have not identified the sources for the additional
financing that we will require, and we do not have commitments from any third
parties to provide this financing. Certain investors may be unwilling
to invest in our securities since we are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and
not on a national securities exchange, particularly if there is only limited
trading in our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board at the time we seek
financing. There is no assurance that sufficient funding through a
financing will be available to us at acceptable terms or at
all. Historically, we have raised capital through the issuance of our
equity securities. However, given the risks associated with our
business, the risks associated with our common stock, the worldwide financial
crisis that has severely affected the capital markets, and our status as a
small, unknown public company, we expect in the near future, we will have a
great deal of difficulty raising capital through traditional financing
sources. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise
capital, or if we are able to raise capital, that such capital will be in the
amounts needed. Our failure to raise capital, when needed, and in
sufficient amounts, will severely impact our ability to continue to develop our
business as planned. Any additional funding that we obtain in an
equity or convertible debt financing is likely to reduce the percentage
ownership of the company held by our existing security holders. The
amount of this dilution may be substantial if the trading price of our common
stock is low at the time of any financing from its current
levels. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in
amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to
obtain the needed additional funding, we will have to reduce or even totally
discontinue our operations, which would result in a partial or total loss to our
stockholders.

ITEM
2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we issued 2,459,195 shares of common
stock to a total of 26 members of management, employees, contractors and
consultants, at prices ranging from $0.116 to $0.17 per share, as compensation
for services rendered. The foregoing shares were issued in reliance
upon an exemption from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
