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 and other
GPS enabled handsets into a tracking device which can then be tracked 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 three
months ended March 31, 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.

EQUITY
|
Common
Stock
During
the three months ended March 31, 2010 the Company issued 517,000 shares of
common stock, from the 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 $87,220. No such
stock was granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
During
the three months ended March, 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company issued 256,000 and
575,000 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 $43,499 and $35,280, respectively.
In connection with the Company’s equity
line financing arrangement with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP (“Dutchess”),
during the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company sold 241,159 shares of
common stock to Dutchess at prices ranging from $0.17 - $0.1763 per share
resulting in proceeds of $41,422. Additionally, the Company issued
Dutchess 201,534 shares of common stock (for proceeds of $34,261) on March 30,
2010; however, those shares were not paid for until April 6, 2010 and,
accordingly, an Equity Line Receivable from Dutchess is included in the
accompanying financial statements for $34,261 at March 31,
2010.
On March
26, 2010 the Company received subscriptions for the purchase of units,
consisting of 550,000 shares of common stock and 550,000 warrants to purchase
common stock at a price of $0.40 per share, and the purchase price of $82,500
for such securities. However, the subscriptions were not immediately
accepted, and the transaction did not close until April 9, 2010. Thus
the shares and warrants were not issued until April 9,
2010. Accordingly, a stock subscription payable in the amount of
$82,500 is included in “Additional Paid-in Capital” in the accompanying
financial statements as of March 31, 2010.
Common Stock
Warrants
Since
inception, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s
common stock to shareholders, consultants and employees as compensation for
services rendered.

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
$23,912 plus interest and attorney fees for services rendered during
2009. We contend that the services in question were not performed,
not approved or not delivered and accordingly, no additional funds are due to
the former consultant. We are in the process of countersuing the
former consultant and intend to defend this case vigorously.
4.
SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
In connection with the Company’s equity
line financing agreement it has entered into with Dutchess, the Company sold
175,983 shares of common stock to Dutchess during April 2010 at $.17 per share,
resulting in proceeds of $29,917. In addition, as noted in Footnote 2
above, Dutchess paid the Company $34,261 on April 6, 2010 for shares the Company
issued to Dutchess on March 30, 2010.
As noted
in Footnote 2, in March 2010, the Company received subscriptions (and the
$82,500 purchase price) for the purchase of 550,000 shares of common stock and
550,000 warrants to purchase common stock. The sale of these
subscriptions was closed on April 9, 2010. In addition to the
foregoing subscriptions, from April 9, 2010 to April 21, 2010, the Company sold
550,000 additional shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 550,000
shares of common stock for a total of $82,500. The Company issued
21,000 shares of common stock and three-year warrants to purchase 21,000 shares
of common stock as a fee related to these sales. All of the foregoing
warrants have a three-year term and an exercise price of $.40 per
share.
In April
2010, the Company issued 38,000 shares of common stock (valued at $5,700) to
various consultants 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
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:
·
|
Our
subsidiary, Global Trek Xploration (“GTX California”), offers a GPS and
cellular location 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.

Revenues
Revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2010 were
derived primarily from the sale of our seven geo-specific Apps (GPS Tracking,
GPS Tracking Lite, LOCiMe, iLOCi2TM, iLOCi2 Lite, Missing and Code Mobile),
totalling approximately $66,000. Sales of the LOCiMOBILE® products are expected to significantly
increase during 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
revenue was generated from the sales of the miniMT and micro LOCi devices, Code
Amber annual subscriptions and points of display sales, and other payments
received under our platform product test agreements. Revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were generated primarily from monthly
service and licensing fees.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold during the three
months ended March 31, 2010 consisted primarily of the cost to sell the
LOCiMOBILE® applications,
as well as depreciation on
the capitalized costs of the applications. Cost of goods sold
during the three months ended March 31, 2009 consisted primarily of the monthly
cellular costs to run our gpVectorTM Powered Athlete Tracking System
devices.
Wages and benefits
Wages and benefits during the three
months ended March 31, 2010 increased by only 2% in comparison to the comparable
2009 period even though
sales and business
activity increased. Wages and benefits remained
substantially unchanged due to the cost cutting efforts we implemented in
response to the downturn in the U.S. and global economy. However, we
anticipate that we may have to increase our workforce, and the amount of wages
and benefits we will have to pay, in the future as the economy recovers from the
setbacks caused by the crisis in the global markets.
Professional fees
Professional fees, consisting of costs
attributable to consultants and contractors who primarily spend their time on
sales, marketing, technology; legal fees relating to general corporate matters and our
patent applications; and accounting expenses increased 9% over the three months
ended March 31, 2009. Similar to wages and benefits, we were able to
implement cost cutting measures to keep our professional fees
relatively low while increasing
revenues.
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 and LOCiMOBILE® applications for GPS enabled
handsets. Research and development during the three months ended
March 31, 2010 decreased approximately $53,000 or 71%, in comparison to the same
period in 2009 because we are no longer in the development stage of our LOCiMOBILE® Apps. 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.
12
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 months ended March 31, 2010 increased approximately
$12,000 in comparison to the same period in 2009 due primarily to depreciation
expense and website maintenance.
Other Income
(Expense)
During the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, we recognized approximately $500 and $15,000, respectively, of
interest income. The decrease in interest income is due to the
Company’s decreasing cash balances throughout fiscal 2009, thus decreasing the
amount of interest earned in 2010.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2010
decreased approximately $34,000 or 5% in comparison to the net loss during the
same period in 2009 due to increased sales while costs remained relatively
unchanged.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
As of March 31, 2010, we had
approximately $181,000 in cash, $162,000 of
other current assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately
$372,000, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately
$29,000, compared to working capital of approximately $216,000 and a
current ratio of 1.8 to 1
as of December 31, 2009.
During the three months ended March 31,
2010 our net loss decreased to approximately $630,000 compared to a net loss
of approximately $664,000
for the comparable period in 2009. Net cash used in operating
activities was
approximately $347,000 and $477,000 for the three months ended March 31, 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 based compensation, and a reduction in the amounts paid for
product development during the three months ended March 31,
2010.
Net cash used in investing activities
during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $51,000 and consisted primarily of
payments for the development of our LOCiMOBILE® products, which payments were capitalized. Net cash
used by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was
approximately $23,000 and consisted primarily of the purchase of property and
equipment.
Net cash provided by financing
activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was
approximately $124,000 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
during the three months
ended March 31, 2010, we
sold 241,159 shares of
common stock to Dutchess at prices ranging from $0.17 -
$0.1763 per
share in connection with our Equity Line,
resulting in proceeds of $41,422. Since
entering into the
Investment Agreement with Dutchess in November 2009 through May 4, 2010, we have sold to Dutchess a total of 618,676
shares of our common stock (at prices ranging from $0.17 - $0.1763 per
share) for a total of $105,600. We intend to continue to use the
Equity Line from time to time to provide us with additional working
capital.
13
Because
revenues from our operations have, to date, been modest, we currently still 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 continue to raise funds by
utilizing the Equity Line and we may occasionally sell securities in private
placements to accredited investors. 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. 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.
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 in
2010 (from the users of the GPS enable shoes). In addition, we are
currently a party to three separate platform test agreements for the development
and release of additional products. One such agreement with G Force Systems
& Technologies (P) Ltd (formerly known as Kalika Group), one of Nepal’s
largest and most respected business conglomerates, for the deployment of the
Company’s proprietary GPS technologies and product line to the territories of
Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Bhutan, is
transitioning from the test phase to the commercial application of our products,
and place its first commercial order (of approximately $13,000) during April
2010. Based on the timing of the development and testing of the products
that are the subject of these separate test agreements, and on the early results
of those tests, we currently anticipate that we will continue to generate
revenues from G Force international distributors in Latin America and other
customers in the current platform test phase.
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 and the commercialization of the LOCiMOBILE® applications for GPS
enabled handsets and CANS and the CANS 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 seven geo-specific Apps (GPS
Tracking, GPS Tracking Lite, LociMe, iLOCi2TM, iLOCi2 Lite, Missing and Code
Mobile) 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;
|
14
|
·
|
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 for GPS enabled handsets, and
advertising and Alertag sales from
CANS.
|
Based on
projected revenues and budgeted expenditures and planned sales of stock
(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. However, if revenues from both the sales of our
Apps and our GPS units (to Aetrex and otherwise) are delayed or do not
materialize, we may not have sufficient cash to continue our operations as
planned. 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. 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 in amounts or 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 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.
Since
inception in 2002, we have generated significant losses (as of March 31, 2010,
we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $10,198,000), and we currently
expect to incur continued losses until our revenue initiatives collectively
generate substantial revenues. Depending on our current contractual
arrangements and the revenues from our new LOCiMOBILE® applications, we
currently anticipate that our losses will continue until at least the second
half of calendar year 2010. 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.
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.
15
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.
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.
A lawsuit
was filed against us in October 2009 by a former consultant who claims we owe
approximately $24,000 plus interest and attorney fees for services rendered
during 2009. We contend that the services in question were not
performed, not approved or not delivered and accordingly, no additional funds
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.

ITEM 1A. RISK
FACTORS.
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide
disclosure under this Item 1A.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF
EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
During the three months ended March 31,
2010, we issued 256,000 shares of common stock to various consultants, at
$0.17 per share, as compensation for services rendered, the grant-date fair
value of which was $43,499.
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.
On
November 16, 2009, we entered into the Investment Agreement with
Dutchess pursuant to which we have the right to put (sell) to Dutchess up to
$10,000,000 of our common stock. From January 1, 2010 through March
31, 2010, we sold a total of 241,159 shares to Dutchess for a total purchase
price of $41,422. The foregoing sale of shares to Dutchess was
effected pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No underwriting commissions or
similar fees were paid in connection with the foregoing sales to
Dutchess.
