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 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 six months
ended June 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.

Stock
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 the Company issued 89,386 and
606,386 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, the grant-date fair value of which was
estimated at $16,000 and $103,220, respectively. No such stock was granted
during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
In
addition to the shares issued under the 2008 Equity Compensation Plan, during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued 86,529 and
342,529 shares of common stock, 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 rendered, the grant-date fair value of which was
estimated at $13,950 and $57,449, respectively. During the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued 50,000 and 625,000 shares of
common stock, respectively, of such stock, the grant-date fair value of which

third-party public relations firm. The terms of the agreement included the

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

respectively to Dutchess at prices ranging from $0.165 - $0.1763 per share

During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company granted 25,000 and
1,113,000 options respectively, to various members of management, the board of
directors, employees and consultants for services rendered. The options
are exercisable at prices ranging from $0.16-$0.17 per share, vest within one
year of the grant date and terminate at the earlier of (1) three years following
the vesting date or (2) upon termination of employment or cessation of services
to the Company.
As of
June 30, 2010, after adjusting for estimated pre-vested forfeitures, there was
approximately $327,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested
stock options which is expected to be recognized monthly over approximately two
years. The Company intends to issue new shares to satisfy share option
exercises.

As
discussed above, the Company granted 89,386 shares from the 2008 Plan, valued at
$16,000, to a consultant for services during the three months ended June 30,
2010. Such services related to the development of our Apps 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. Additionally, during May 2009 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. The Company granted
54,529 shares of stock subject to restrictions upon transfer pursuant to Rule
144, as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to these
consultants. The shares were valued at $9,249, of which $4,874 remains
classified as a prepaid asset at June 30, 2010 in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet.

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.
9
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.

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 later this
year.

11
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 will begin paying a per device monthly
subscription starting in August 2010.
|
·
|
Our
LOCiMOBILE, Inc. subsidiary has developed, and launched applications for
the iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and other GPS enabled handsets that permit
authorized users to locate and track the movement of the holder of the
handset. As of August 4, 2010, we offer a total of ten applications
(“Apps”) that run on three different platforms (iPhone, BlackBerry and
Google Android) and one App that runs on the iPad. Our Apps have
been downloaded over 570,000 times in 84 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 third quarter of 2010.
These include a series of applications that will run on Samsung’s new bada
platform, additional applications for the iPad and more applications for
the iPhone, BlackBerry and Google Android operating systems all of which
should further contribute to our user base community, currently over half
a million, the value of our brand and revenue increases from App sales,
monthly subscriptions and advertising. During the three
months ended June 30, 2010, our Apps generated revenues of approximately
$106,000.

·
|
Our
Code Amber News Service, Inc. (“CANS”) subsidiary is a U.S. and Canadian
syndicator and content provider of all state Amber Alerts (public
notifications of child abductions) and missing person alerts.
Additionally, CANS markets and sells the patent pending electronic medical
Code Amber Alertag and has recently signed up dozens of online affiliates
and channel partners with a current total of 230 affiliates in 51
countries and 29 active fundraising organization throughout the United
States that are selling the Alertag. Mark Klaas has recently
produced a video encouraging the support of Code Amber and the Alertag and
has begun to offer the Alertags through his non-profit organization.
The Alertag comes with an annual $19.95 subscription based model and
compliments the overall GTX business model of providing peace of mind and
personal location solutions to the masses. To date, our CANS
operations have been primarily used to generate interest in our other
products.
|
GTX Corp
has recognized Latin America as a growing and strategically important market and
is engaging this market through partnerships, bilingual sales and technical
support staff along with localized software translated into Spanish for the
region. GTX Corp has commenced selling personal location solutions to Mexico,
Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Venezuela and Guatemala, through hardware
devices, platform licensing and smart phone Apps. The Company expects to see
significant growth in the second half of 2010 and 2011 as we increase
partnerships and marketing efforts in these international
territories.

Results
of Operations
GTX Corp
and subsidiaries have experienced an a 288% increase in revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 versus the three months ended June 30, 2009 and an
89% increase in revenues from last quarter.
The following discussion should be read
in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes
that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Revenues
Revenues
during the three months ended June 30, 2010 were derived from all three
subsidiaries, from multiple customers, both domestic and international, and from
enterprise to consumers. Revenues, generated primarily from the sale of
our geo-specific Apps, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
totalled approximately $106,000 and $171,000, respectively. Sales of the
LOCiMOBILE® products are expected to significantly increase during the second
half of the current fiscal year as more LOCiMOBILE® applications are released
and newer versions of the existing LOCiMOBILE® products are released; and as
those products become more available on more Smartphone 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, 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 six months ended June 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 six
months ended June 30, 2009 consisted primarily of the monthly cellular costs to
run our gpVectorTM Powered
Tracking System devices.
Salaries
and professional fees
Salaries
and professional fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
decreased by 15% and 4%, respectively, in comparison to the comparable 2009
period even though sales and business activity increased. The decrease is
primarily due to cost cutting efforts we implemented in response to the downturn
in the U.S. and global economy. Professional fees consist primarily of
costs attributable to consultants and contractors who primarily spend their time
on sales, marketing and technology; legal fees relating to general corporate
matters and our patent applications; and accounting expenses. We anticipate that
we may have to increase our workforce, the amount of wages and benefits we will
have to pay, and the utilization of consultants and contractors in the future as
the economy recovers from the setbacks caused by the crisis in the global
markets.
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 increased 61% during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared
to the comparable three month period in 2009, although it decreased 53% during
the six months ended June 30, 2010 in comparison to the comparable 2009
periods. The fluctuation is the result of doing minimal research and
development on our LOCiMOBILE® applications in the first three months of 2009
but then aggressively deploying resources in the second quarter of 2009 when the
application market began to grow rapidly. In addition, because our
platform was substantially completed during April 2010, expenses related to
such research and development decreased during the three months ended June 30,
2010. 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.
14
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 six months ended June
30, 2010 decreased 13% and 1%, respectively, in comparison to the same
period in 2009 due primarily to a recruiting fee of $26,000 incurred during
April 2009 that was not incurred in 2010, as well as 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased 99%
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 and six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased approximately 23% and
13%, respectively, in comparison to the net loss during the same period in
2009 due to increased sales and slight decreases in operating
costs.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
the six months ended June 30, 2010 our net loss decreased to approximately
$981,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $1,123,000 for the comparable
period in 2009. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately
$584,000 and $840,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities is
primarily attributable to an increase in revenues generated by our LOCiMOBILE®
products, the increased use of stock instead of cash as compensation, and a
reduction in the amounts paid for product development during the six months
ended June 30, 2010.
Net cash
used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was
approximately $115,000 and consisted primarily of payments for the development
of our LOCiMOBILE® products, which payments were capitalized. Net cash
provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was
approximately $403,000 and resulted primarily from the maturing of certificates
of deposits totaling $500,000.
15
Net cash
provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009 was approximately $303,000 and $0, respectively. Net cash from
financing activities consist of proceeds received from the sale of shares in
private placements and under an equity line financing agreement that we recently
entered into. 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"). During the six
months ended June 30, 2010, we sold 695,996 shares of common stock to Dutchess
at prices ranging from $0.165 - $0.17 per share in connection with our Equity
Line, resulting in proceeds of approximately $118,000. Subsequent to
June 30, 2010, we sold to Dutchess 439,312 shares of our common stock at
approximately $0.13 per share for proceeds of approximately $56,000. We
intend to continue to use the Equity Line from time to time to provide us with
additional working capital.
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 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.
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 later in 2010. 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 enable 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.
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.
16
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 gpVector™
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 gpVector™ 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
believe that we will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our working capital
cash requirements for the next twelve months. 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.
Since
inception in 2002, we have generated significant losses (as of June 30, 2010, we
had an accumulated deficit of approximately $10,549,000), and we currently
expect to incur continued losses until our sales and subscription initiatives
collectively generate substantial revenues. Depending on our current
contractual arrangements and the revenues from our new LOCiMOBILE® applications,
we currently anticipate that our negative cash flow from operations may 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
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,
2009.
17
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.
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.
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.
A lawsuit
was filed against us in October 2009 by a former consultant who claims we owe
him approximately $24,000 plus interest and attorney fees for services he
rendered to us 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 intend to defend this
case vigorously.
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.
18
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
June 30, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $170,000
and an accumulated deficit of approximately $10,549,000. In addition,
for the six months ended June 30, 2010, we had a loss of approximately $981,000
and negative cash flow from operating activities of approximately $584,000.
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.
