NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GTX 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, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of GTX Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred net losses of $1,124,375 and $998,896 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $15,055,329 as of September 30, 2013, and has negative working capital of approximately $615,000 as of September 30, 2013. A significant part of our negative working capital position at September 30, 2013 consisted of $367,958 of amounts due to officers and management of the Company for accrued wages. The Company anticipates further losses in the development of its business.
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of debt or equity is unknown. Obtainment of additional financing or its attainment of profitable operations is necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Estimates
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.
Reclassifications
For comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2013. These reclassifications have no impact on net loss.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In order to preserve cash for other working capital needs, various officers and members of management have agreed to accrue portions of their salaries since fiscal 2011. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company owed $367,958 and $392,834, respectively for such accrued wages.
Related Party Loans
On April 15, 2013, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer loaned the Company $30,000 to fund its working capital needs of which $15,000 has been repaid as of September 30, 2013. The loan was not evidenced by a formal written agreement.
On February 10, 2013, a Board Member loaned the Company $10,000 to funds its working capital needs. The loan was not evidenced by a formal written agreement. On March 28, 2013 the Company issued the Board Member 100,000 shares of common stock valued at the estimated grant date fair value of $3,200 as payment for interest on the loan. As of September 30, 2013, the loan has been repaid in full.

Short-term convertible notes
On June 26, 2013, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with BSM Lending, LLC, for the principal sum of $30,000 plus interest of 15% per annum (the “BSM Note”). The BSM Note was not funded until July 1, 2013. The Company may repay the BSM Note and accrued interest at any time prior to maturity. The BSM Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to 65% of the 5 day average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock. The BSM Note matures on June 25, 2014.
On November 14, 2012, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) in the principal amount of $200,000 with a 10% original issue discount (the “JMJ Note”). Upon closing of the JMJ Note, the lender made an initial $25,000 advance of consideration to the Company and on February 28, April 24, and June 27, 2013, the lender made additional advances of $25,000 each to the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company was assessed a one-time interest charge of 10% on each of the advances. The Convertible Note was convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to the lesser of $0.025 or 70% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days previous to the conversion.
Through September 18, 2013, JMJ had elected to convert portions of the outstanding balance of the JMJ Note into 8,000,100 shares of our common stock valued at $82,370. In accordance with the JMJ Note, the conversion price was calculated at the lesser of $0.025 or 70% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days previous to the conversion. The resulting conversion price averaged $0.0060 per share resulting in $44,772 of the outstanding principle balance being converted into stock. A loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $34,820 was recorded on the conversion.
Effective September 19, 2013, JMJ entered into an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with the 112359 Factor Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) whereby JMJ sold 100% of its right, title and interest in the JMJ Note to the Fund. The JMJ Note had an outstanding balance of $74,394 at the time of the Assignment Agreement. A loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $34,360 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as a result of the assignment. See further discussion regarding the Fund agreements below in Long-term debt.
On September 19, 2012, Aetrex loaned the Company $10,000 .The loan is non-interest bearing and was due on November 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had repaid the Aetrex loan in full.
On June 27, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party (the “Holder”) for a $55,000 line of credit (the “Line Agreement”). The Company was unable to repay the amount owed under the Line Agreement by the November 27, 2012 maturity date and owed $13,500 as of December 31, 2012. On January 14, 2013, the Holder of the Line Agreement entered into an assignment agreement with an unrelated third party (the “Assignee”) whereby the Assignee assumed all of the Holder’s right, title, and interest in and to the Line Agreement in the aggregate amount of $13,500 (the “Note”). As consideration for the assignment of the Note, on January 15, 2013, we issued the Assignee 2,459,355 shares of common stock and the Assignee paid the Holder $13,500. The market value of the 2,459,355 shares of common stock on the date of the assignment was approximately $49,000 per share resulting in the Company recording a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $35,700.

Atlantic Agreement and SPA
On July 12, 2013, the Company entered into an Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Atlantic Footcare, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation (“Atlantic”) whereby Atlantic would be the Company’s exclusive manufacturer of its new shoe insole to be used with our embedded GPS devices. In conjunction with the Agreement, on July 24, 2013 (the “Closing”), we also entered into a Security Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Atlantic. Pursuant to the SPA, Atlantic has committed to purchase (A) a convertible promissory note (the “Atlantic Note”) in the original principal amount of $200,000, accruing 6% interest per annum, and maturing on November 13, 2014, and (B) a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Warrant”).
In accordance with the SPA, Atlantic agreed to lend to the Company up to $200,000, as follows:
(i) $50,000 (comprised of $25,000 in cash and $25,000 in insole development and tooling costs associated with manufacturing insoles containing the Company’s GPS devices, the value of which shall be determined by Atlantic (the “Services”)); and
(ii) 3 installments of $50,000 (each comprised of $25,000 in cash and $25,000 in Services) of which one installment has been made as of September 30, 2013.
.
Atlantic may at any time elect to convert all of the entire outstanding principal amount of the Atlantic Note plus the accrued interest into 12% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the issuance thereof, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of the Atlantic Note then outstanding and the denominator of which is $200,000.
If Atlantic is unable to dispose of the shares of common stock into which the Atlantic Note may be converted and the Warrant may be exercised (the “Registrable Shares”) under Rule 144 as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) Atlantic may request that the Company file a Form S-1 registration statement or Form S-3 registration statement (if applicable) with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the Registrable Shares then outstanding, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is given by Atlantic, file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Shares that Atlantic requested to be registered.

112359 Factor Fund
Effective September 19, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 112359 Factor Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Fund (i) an amended and restated convertible debenture (the “A & R 1st Debenture”) in the principal amount of $123,394, (ii) a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $200,000 (the “2nd Debenture”), and (iii) a secured convertible debenture payable in eight (8) tranches totaling an aggregate principal balance of $901,000 (the “3rd Debenture” and together with the A & R 1st Debenture and 2nd Debenture, the “Debentures”).
As discussed above in Short-term borrowings, effective September 19, 2013, JMJ entered into an assignment agreement with the Fund, whereby JMJ sold 100% of its right, title and interest in the JMJ Note to the Fund. In order to amend and restate the terms of the JMJ Note that was transferred to the Fund, the Company agreed to exchange the JMJ Note for a new debenture (i.e., the A & R 1st Debenture). The principal changes effected in the A & R 1st Debenture include: an increase in the amount outstanding from $74,394 to $123,394; the reduction of the interest rate to the lesser of the applicable Federal Rate or 6% per annum; the extension of the maturity dates to the third anniversary of the original payment dates; and the grant to the Fund of the right to convert any portion of the principal amount of A & R 1st Debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to 100% of the average of the 5 lowest closing market prices for the Company’s common stock for the 30 trading days preceding conversion. The Fund may not, however, convert the A & R 1st Debenture if such conversion would result in the Fund owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, subject to the Fund’s right to waive this limit upon 65 days prior notice. If the A & R 1st Debenture is repaid and/or converted in full prior to its maturity date, all accrued interest will be forgiven.
The 2nd Debenture, in the amount of $200,000, was issued to the Fund in consideration for the Fund’s various agreements issued under the Security Purchase Agreement. The 2nd Debenture matures December 31, 2017 and accrues interest on the unconverted outstanding principal balance at a rate per annum of the lesser of the applicable Federal Rate or six percent (6%). Following the Payment Compliance Date, as defined below, at the option of the Fund, the outstanding principal amount due under the 2nd Debenture may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to lesser of (a) the outstanding balance due under the Debenture divided by $0.01 per shares (the “Conversion Price,”) or (b) 9.99% of the then-current issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of the first (1st) anniversary of the Payment Compliance Date. The “Payment Compliance Date” shall mean the later to occur of (a) the date on which the Fund has paid the Company the full $425,000 purchase price of the 3rd Debenture, or (b) the date on which all amounts due to the Fund, except for amounts due under the 2nd Debenture, have been fully paid. If the 2nd Debenture is repaid and/or converted in full prior to its maturity date, all accrued interest will be forgiven.
The face amount of the 3rd Debenture is $901,000. The Fund has agreed to purchase the 3rd Debenture in eight (8) installments (each such installment that is paid is referred to as a “Tranche”). The 3rd Debenture matures on the third (3rd) anniversary date of each Tranche payment. The payment and maturity dates of each Tranche are as follows:
Tranche Number | Tranche Payment Date | Tranche | Obligation | Maturity Date | |
1 | September 19, 2013 | $75,000 | $159,000 | September 18, 2016 | |
2 | October 14, 2013 | $50,000 | $106,000 | October 13, 2016 | |
3 | November 15, 2013 | $50,000 | $106,000 | November 14, 2016 | |
4 | December 13, 2014 | $50,000 | $106,000 | December 12, 2017 | |
5 | January 17, 2014 | $50,000 | $106,000 | January 16, 2017 | |
6 | February 14, 2014 | $50,000 | $106,000 | February 13, 2017 | |
7 | March 14, 2014 | $50,000 | $106,000 | March 13, 2017 | |
8 | April 18, 2014 | $50,000 | $106,000 | April 17, 2017 | |
Total Principal | $425,000 | $901,000 |

Interest on the 3rd Debenture accrues on the unconverted outstanding principal balance hereof at a rate per annum of the lesser of the applicable Federal Rate or six percent (6%) and on a pro rata basis to the extent that each Tranche has been paid. The outstanding amounts due under the 3rd Debenture are convertible at the option of the Fund into shares of the Company’s common stock at 100% of the average of the five (5) lowest closing market prices for the Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days preceding each conversion; provided, however, that the Fund cannot own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at any time, which limit may be waived by the Fund upon 65 days notice. If the 3rd Debenture is repaid and/or converted in full prior to its maturity date, all accrued interest will be forgiven.
The Debentures are secured by a blanket lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) executed by the Company and its subsidiaries in favor of the Fund. If an event of default occurs and continues for more that 30 days following written notice of default from the Fund, under the Security Agreement, the fund may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, foreclose upon the assets securing such Debentures.
In addition, to further secure the Company’s obligations under the Debentures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Patrick Bertagna, has pledged 13,180,378 shares of his common stock of the Company (the “Pledged Securities”) pursuant to a stock pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) executed by Mr. Bertagna in favor of the Fund. Upon the breach of any provision in the Pledge Agreement or upon the occurrence of any default event under the Debentures, the Fund may exercise any rights and remedies available, including, but not limited to, sale, assignment or other disposal of any or all of the Pledged Securities in exchange for cash or credit. The Fund’s rights under the Pledge Agreement are limited to the extent that the Fund has agreed not to own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at any time, which limitation the Fund can, however, waive upon 65 days notice.
Derivative liabilities
The conversion features embedded in the convertible notes were evaluated to determine if such conversion feature should be bifurcated from its host instrument and accounted for as a freestanding derivative. Excluding the 2nd Debenture, in all of the long-term and short-term convertible notes outstanding at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the conversion feature was accounted for as a derivative liability. The derivatives associated with the long-term and short-term convertible notes were recognized as a discount to the debt instrument and the discount is amortized over the expected life of the notes with any excess of the derivative value over the note payable value recognized as additional interest expense at the issuance date. Included in Derivative Expense, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations is expense related to the amortization of debt discount totalling $122,597 and $204,777 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. No such expense was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
The derivative liability was calculated using the Black Scholes method over the expected terms of the convertible debentures, with a risk free rate of 1% and volatility of 314% as of September 30, 2013 and a risk free rate of 1% and volatility of 546% as of December 31, 2012. Included in Derivative Expense, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations is income arising from the change in fair value of the derivatives of $14,534 and $80,399 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. No such income was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Operations
We currently conduct our operations through three wholly-owned subsidiaries that operate in various interrelated sectors of the emerging Location-Based Services and Proximity Marketing industry (the emerging industry for localized wireless distribution of advertising associated with a particular place based on the specific location of the person carrying the smartphone). Our subsidiaries are summarized as follows:
· Global Trek Xploration (“GTX California”) focuses on hardware, software, connectivity, design and development of GPS monitoring products by offering a GPS and cellular location platform that enables subscribers to track in real time the whereabouts of people, pets or high valued assets. Our GPS device, which consists of a miniature transceiver, antenna, circuitry and battery, can be customized and integrated into numerous products whose location and movement can be monitored in real time over the Internet through our 24x7 location data center (“Location Data Center”) tracking portal or on a web enabled cellular telephone. The GTX California business model is to license its technology platforms to branded partners who desire to deliver their own innovative tracking solutions to consumers or their customers in a wide variety of wearable and portable location devices. The GTX California value proposition is its ability to customize, localize and optimize an embedded approach to the tracking and monitoring market. GTX California believes that its ability to customize its products to different form factors for the specific needs of its branded partners sets it apart from its competitors. To date, the Company has created three custom solutions: 1) the monitoring of seniors by installing the GPS device into specially designed shoes; 2) the monitoring of children by installing the GPS device into specially designed shoes; and 3) the monitoring of various high value assets. The Company has on-going initiatives to develop and deploy additional custom hardware, software, monitoring and connectivity solutions throughout various markets.
During July 2013, the Company converted its platform test agreement with AttachaPack LLC into an exclusive licensing agreement for the GPS Tracking platform and to allow the miniaturized two-way GPS with SOS and emergency voice capabilities to be embedded in AttachaPackTM backpacks. AttachaPackTM offers a range of innovative backpacks that feature interchangeable pockets in hundreds of patterns so kids can easily customize and create their own backpack.
On July 12, 2013, the Company entered into an exclusive three-year contract with Atlantic Footcare, Inc., (“Atlantic”) to develop and launch GPS embedded insoles. Atlantic would be the Company’s exclusive manufacturer of its new shoe insole to be used with our embedded GPS devices.
On February 15, 2013 and June 26, 2013, the Company entered into two separate one-year advisory service agreements with Brewer Sports International, LLC (“BSI”) (the “Advisory Agreements”). The Advisory Agreements are expected to increase our brand and market awareness in an effort to increase sales and expand our global reach, including integration of our GPS Smart Shoe technology with BSI’s Coalition for Concussion Treatment campaign. BSI will utilize its extensive network to facilitate outreach efforts with synergetic companies and partnering organizations as well as secure product endorsements and global exposure for our product line. BSI will include the Company in its upcoming Traumatic Brain Injury awareness conference and expand its social media awareness programs relative to this issue and the products and services offered by the Company. As compensation for such services, the Company has granted BSI 5,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $145,000.

Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 (“Q3 2013”) Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 (“Q3 2012”)
Q3 2013 | Q3 2012 | |||||||

Revenues
Revenues during Q3 2013 decreased by 42% or $18,864 in comparison to Q3 2012 due primarily to the loss of one of our Alertag customers as well as a decrease in our App revenue. To counteract the decreases in our App revenues, which were predominately consumer driven, we are focusing on our Track My Workforce App geared towards the enterprise customer. Revenues generated by the Track My Work Force App continue to grow as we introduce the App into the marketplace. Additionally, the Track My Work Force App has a higher price point and a higher gross margin than our current consumer Apps. We have also begun a new development initiative to revamp some of our older Apps with enhanced features and graphics that are being supported through the new Android and iOS operating systems. We plan to launch our first revamped App by the end of December 2013. In regards to Alertag, we are continuing negotiations with existing customers to develop a mutually beneficial plan for their continued use of the product. We are also looking at ways to revise the marketing structure and rebranding of the Alertag product in order to attract new medical facilities and enterprise customers, putting a greater emphasis on business to business rather than business to consumer.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold decreased 5% or $1,147 during Q3 2013 in comparison to Q3 2012 due primarily to depreciation on our shoe mold and software development costs which continue to be recorded through cost of goods sold. Despite our decrease in revenues, the shoe mold and software development costs continue to be depreciated over their useful lives resulting in expense in excess of the generated income.
Wages and professional fees
Wages and professional fees during Q3 2013 decreased 20% or $50,183 in comparison to Q3 2012 due primarily to reductions in staff and management positions. These reductions will remain in place as we maintain a low-overhead approach to operations that will adjust as operations require. These decreases were offset by increases in legal fees stemming from our capital raise during Q3 2013.
15 |
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses during Q3 2013 decreased 20% or $8,090 in comparison to Q3 2012 due to decreases in depreciation, miscellaneous office expense and website development. the recognition of impairment on capitalized software development costs during Q2 2012.
Other Expense, net
Other expense, net for Q3 2013 consists primarily of costs associated with our debt financings. As part of the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into with the Fund, the Company issued a $200,000 convertible note (the 2nd Debenture) as payment for services provided by the Fund in facilitating the Securities Purchase Agreement. As the 2nd Debenture related to services that had already been received, the full amount was recorded as Finance Costs at the time of issuance. We also recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $34,360 as a result of the assignment of the JMJ Note to the Fund and the subsequent amendment of the JMJ Note into the A & R 1st Debenture on September 19, 2013. Additionally, due to the conversion of portions of the JMJ Note prior to the assignment, we recognized a loss on conversion of $17,745. The accounting treatment for the bifurcation of the derivative liabilities embedded in our long-term and short-term convertible notes results in net derivative expense of $108,063. The net derivative expense represents the change in fair value of the derivative liability during the period as well as the amortization of the related debt discount. Lastly, included is approximately $8,000 of interest expense relating to our long-term and short-term convertible notes.

Net loss | $ (1,124,375) | (925%) | $ (998,896) | (322%) |
Revenues
Revenues during the first nine months of 2013 decreased 61% or $188,312 as compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to revenues of approximately $157,000 generated from the shipment in 2012 of approximately 1,500 of our GPS devices to Aetrex Worldwide, Inc. (“Aetrex”) for use in its Aetrex NavistarTM GPS Shoe (the “NavistarTM GPS Shoe”). No such sale occurred during 2013. Additionally, revenues generated from our Apps decreased by $50,000, or 72%, to approximately $19,000 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in the purchase of new Apps and a large increase in downloads for upgrades by current subscribers, which upgrades are provided free of charge. To counteract the decreases in our App revenues, which were predominately consumer driven, we are starting a new development phase to increase functionality and graphics supported by the recent launch of the new Apple and Android operating systems. We are also going to increase our focus on business to business sales with our Track My Workforce App geared towards the enterprise customer. Revenues generated by the Track My Work Force App continue to grow as we introduce the App to the marketplace. Additionally, the Track My Work Force App has a higher price point and a higher gross margin than our current consumer Apps.

Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold decreased 73% or $187,691 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 in comparison to the same period in 2012 due to the cost of the GPS devices we shipped to Aetrex during 2012. Cost of goods sold during the 2013 consist primarily of the commissions paid on the sale of our Apps to our subscribers, the commissions owed to Aetrex for their portion of the monthly service fee on the NavistarTM GPS Shoe, and depreciation on the capitalized costs of the Apps that we sell.
Wages and professional fees
Wages and professional fees during the first nine months of 2013 decreased 25% or $204,343 compared to the same 2012 period primarily due to reductions in staff and management positions and marketing and public relations services, all in an effort to cut costs. These reductions will remain in place as we maintain a low-overhead approach to operations that will adjust, as operations require.
General and administrative
General and administrative costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased 50% or $126,907 in comparison to the same 2012 period due primarily to the recognition of impairment on capitalized software development costs during the 2012 period. Management assessed the value of our capitalized software development costs during 2012 and determined that, based on the revenues generated from our Apps, that the capitalized assets had been impaired. Accordingly, we wrote-down the software development costs to the estimated net realizable value of approximately $44,000 and recognized an impairment charge of $103,000 during 2012. Excluding the $103,000 impairment charge in 2012, general and administrative expenses in 2013 decreased approximately $24,000 or 16% due primarily to reductions in depreciation expense and travel, as well as, the implementation of various general cost cutting measures.
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consists primarily of costs associated with our financing. As part of the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into with the Fund, the Company issued a $200,000 convertible note (the 2nd Debenture) as payment for services provided by the Fund in facilitating the Securities Purchase Agreement. As the 2nd Debenture related to services that had already been received, the full amount was recorded as Finance Costs at the time of issuance. We also recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $34,360 as a result of the assignment of the JMJ Note to the Fund and the subsequent amendment of the JMJ Note into the A & R 1st Debenture on September 19, 2013. Additionally, due to the conversion of portions of the JMJ Note prior to the assignment and the payoff of a line of credit in January 2013, we recognized a loss on conversion of approximately $70,500. The accounting treatment for the bifurcation of the derivative liabilities embedded in our long-term and short-term convertible notes results in net derivative expense of $124,378. The net derivative expense represents the change in fair value of the derivative liability during the period as well as the amortization of the related debt discount. Lastly, included is approximately $17,000 of interest expense relating to our long-term and short-term convertible notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $57,000 of cash and cash equivalents, and a working capital deficit of approximately $615,000, compared to approximately $31,000 of cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of approximately $664,000 as of December 31, 2012. A significant part of our negative working capital position at September 30, 2013 consisted of $367,958 of amounts due to officers and management of the Company for accrued wages.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, our net loss increased 120% and 13%, respectively to approximately $596,000 and $1,124,000, respectively, compared to a net loss of approximately $271,000 and $999,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $209,000 and $240,000, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to adjustments to our net loss related to depreciation, the loss on extinguishment of debt, stock based compensation, finance costs and adjustments to our derivative liabilities, as well as, increases in accounts payable to vendors and the continued accrual of portions of wages payable to members of management and various officers in an effort to preserve cash for working capital needs.
There was no cash used for investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $235,500 and consisted of proceeds totaling $230,000 received from advances under various convertible note payable agreements, as well as, short-term loans totaling $40,000 received from related parties. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had paid $25,000 towards the related party loans, as well as, $9,500 towards a short-term loan owed to a vendor.
Because revenues from our operations have, to date, been insufficient to fund our working capital needs, we currently rely on the cash we receive from our financing activities to fund our capital expenditures and to support our working capital requirements. Previously, we anticipated that revenues from the NavistarTM GPS Shoe that was released December 2011 would increase significantly this year and would provide the funds necessary to fund our working capital needs. However, revenues from the NavistarTM GPS Shoe have been minimal, and we no longer anticipate that the NavistarTM GPS Shoe will constitute a material source of future revenues. Despite the disappointing results of the Navistar GPS shoe, we continue to believe that there is a significant market opportunity for a product that can monitor the location of senior citizens and children through GPS devices embedded in footwear. As a result, in July 2013, we entered into an exclusive three-year contract with Atlantic Footcare, Inc. (“Atlantic”), to develop and launch GPS embedded insoles. The Atlantic GPS unit is currently in the development stage and, is not expected to be released until 2014 During the remainder of 2013, we expect to receive additional revenues from our other licenses, Alertag subscriptions, Track My Work Force subscriptions, international distributors, hardware sales, professional services and new customers in the pipeline. However, the amount of such revenues is unknown and is not expected to be sufficient to fund our working capital needs. For our internal budgeting purposes, we have assumed that such revenues will not be sufficient to fund all of our planned operating and other expenditures. In addition, our actual cash expenditures may 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. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will have to continue to raise additional capital in order to fund our operations in 2014.

In order to fund our working capital needs and our product development costs in September 2013 we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 112359 Factor Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) pursuant to which we issued and sold to the Fund (i) an amended and restated convertible debenture (the “A & R 1st Debenture”) in the principal amount of $123,394, (ii) a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $200,000 (the “2nd Debenture”), and (iii) a secured convertible debenture payable in eight (8) tranches totaling an aggregate principal balance of $901,000 (the “3rd Debenture” and together with the A & R 1st Debenture and 2nd Debenture, the “Debentures”). The 3rd Debenture has provided us with $125,000 of funds to date, and will continue to provide us with $50,000 of working capital per month through April 2014. The following is a summary of the terms of the Debentures:
The A & R 1st Debenture results from the assignment of our debenture to JMJ Financial (the “JMJ Note”) to the Fund. Since this debenture merely replaced an outstanding loan, the Company did not receive any additional cash from the issuance of this debenture. The A & R 1st Debenture amends and restates in its entirety the JMJ Note. The principal changes effected in the A & R 1st Debenture include: an increase in the amount outstanding from $74,394 to $123,394; the reduction of the interest rate to the lesser of the applicable Federal Rate or 6% per annum; the extension of the maturity dates to the third anniversary of the original payment dates; and the grant to the Fund of the right to convert any portion of the principal amount of the A & R 1st Debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to 100% of the average of the 5 lowest closing market prices for the Company’s common stock for the 30 trading days preceding conversion. The Fund may not, however, convert the A & R 1st Debenture if such conversion would result in the Fund owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
The 2nd Debenture, in the amount of $200,000, was issued to the Fund in consideration for the Fund’s various agreements issued under the Security Purchase Agreement. Since this debenture was issued as payment for services and fees, the Company also did not receive any cash from the issuance of this debenture. The 2nd Debenture matures December 31, 2017 and accrues interest on the unconverted outstanding principal balance at a rate per annum of the lesser of the applicable Federal Rate or six percent (6%). Upon the later to occur of (a) the date on which the Fund has paid the Company the full $425,000 purchase price of the 3rd Debenture, or (b) the date on which all amounts due to the Fund, except for amounts due under the 2nd Debenture, have been fully paid, at the option of the Fund, the outstanding principal amount due under the 2nd Debenture may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the lesser of (a) the outstanding balance due under the Debenture divided by $0.01 per shares (the “Conversion Price,”) or (b) 9.99% of the then-current issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of the first (1st) anniversary of the Payment Compliance Date.
The face amount of the 3rd Debenture is $901,000. The Fund has agreed to purchase the 3rd Debenture in eight (8) installments (each such installment that is paid is referred to as a “Tranche”). The 3rd Debenture matures on the third (3rd) anniversary date of each Tranche payment. The payment date (the date on which the Company receives the amounts indicated in the “Tranche” column) and maturity dates of each Tranche are as follows:
Tranche Number | Tranche Payment Date | Tranche | Obligation | Maturity Date | |
1 | September 19, 2013 | $75,000 | $159,000 | September 18, 2016 | |
2 | October 14, 2013 | $50,000 | $106,000 | October 13, 2016 | |
3 | November 15, 2013 | $50,000 | $106,000 | November 14, 2016 | |
4 | December 13, 2014 | $50,000 | $106,000 | December 12, 2017 | |
5 | January 17, 2014 | $50,000 | $106,000 | January 16, 2017 | |
6 | February 14, 2014 | $50,000 | $106,000 | February 13, 2017 | |
7 | March 14, 2014 | $50,000 | $106,000 | March 13, 2017 | |
8 | April 18, 2014 | $50,000 | $106,000 | April 17, 2017 | |
Total Principal | $425,000 | $901,000 |

Interest on the 3rd Debenture accrues on the unconverted outstanding principal balance hereof at a rate per annum of the lesser of the applicable Federal Rate or six percent (6%) and on a pro rata basis to the extent that each Tranche has been paid. The outstanding amounts due under the 3rd Debenture are convertible at the option of the Fund into shares of the Company’s common stock at 100% of the average of the five (5) lowest closing market prices for the Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days preceding each conversion; provided, however, that the Fund cannot own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at any time, which limit may be waived by the Fund upon 65 days notice.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Fund had converted $16,518 owed under the A & R 1st Debenture into 2,150,750 shares of the Company’s common stock and made the first two Tranche payments required under the 3rd Debenture.
As described above, on July 12, 2013, we entered into an Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Atlantic, whereby Atlantic serves as our exclusive manufacturer of its new shoe insole to be used with our embedded GPS devices. In conjunction with the Agreement, on July 24, 2013 (the “Closing”), we also entered into a Security Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Atlantic. Pursuant to the SPA, Atlantic has committed to purchase (A) a convertible promissory note (the “Atlantic Note”) in the original principal amount of $200,000, accruing interest 6% per annum, and maturing on November 13, 2014, and (B) a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Warrant”).
In accordance with the SPA, Atlantic agrees to lend to the Company up to $200,000, as follows:
(i) | $50,000 (comprised of $25,000 in cash and $25,000 in insole development and tooling costs associated with manufacturing insoles containing the Company’s GPS devices, the value of which shall be determined by Atlantic (the “Services”)); and |
(ii) | 3 installments of $50,000 (each comprised of $25,000 in cash and $25,000 in Services)of which the first installment has been received as of the date of this Quarterly Report. |
Atlantic may at any time elect to convert all of the entire outstanding principal amount of the Atlantic Note plus the accrued interest into 12% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the issuance thereof, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of the Atlantic Note then outstanding and the denominator of which is $200,000.
The Company issued a Warrant to Atlantic, whereby Atlantic is entitled to purchase from the Company a total number of shares of common stock, such that, when added to the total number of shares of common stock acquired by Atlantic upon conversion of the Atlantic Note, equals 12% of the common stock outstanding as of the date of such conversion, as such total outstanding amount may, be increased by issuances of common stock occurring on or prior to November 13, 2014 (or by issuances of common stock occurring after November 13, 2014 but pursuant to convertible instruments issued or commitments made by the Company prior to November 13, 2014) other than issuances of excluded securities as such term is defined in the Atlantic Note, at an exercise price per share equal to $0.001 per share, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date and through and including November 13, 2020.
On June 26, 2013, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with BSM Lending, LLC, for the principal sum of $30,000 plus interest of 15% per annum (the “BSM Note”) and matures on June 25, 2014. The BSM Note was not funded until July 1, 2013. The Company may repay the BSM Note and accrued interest at any time prior to maturity. The BSM Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to 65% of the 5 day average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Rate”). BSM may elect to convert in increments of less that 9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, however, the Company will give the option to BSM to convert any amount exceeding 9.9% prior to such a conversion. Additionally, the BSM Note includes an automatic conversion feature whereby all amounts of principal will be converted into shares of common stock at the then effective Conversion Rate upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or in the event of a change in control.

The licensing agreements, distribution agreements and product sales initiatives we have in place have, to date, not generated substantial revenues. No assurance can be given that our current contractual arrangements and the revenues from our GPS tracking shoes, device sales, subscriptions, Alertags, software licensing, or our smart phone or tablet Apps will generate significant revenues during the balance of 2013. Accordingly, we will be dependent upon the cash advances that we expect to receive from the Fund under the 3rd Debenture and from Atlantic under the SPA.
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, licensing and sales of our GPS devices and technology, and the commercialization of the LOCiMOBILE® applications for GPS enabled handsets.
As noted above, based on budgeted revenues and expenditures, unless revenues increase significantly, we believe that our existing and projected sources of liquidity may not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we will need to raise additional funds in 2014. 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. Although we have received funds from several new sources during 2013 thus far, we may still require additional financing for the next twelve months, and there is no assurance that sufficient funding through a financing will be available to us at acceptable terms or at all. Any additional funding that we obtain in a 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 based on our current stock price, and could increase if the trading price of our common stock declines at the time of any financing from its current levels. We may also attempt to raise funds through corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, we may be required to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. 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 may have to further reduce our current level of operations, or may even have to totally discontinue our operations.
Since inception in 2002, we have generated significant losses (as of September 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $15,055,000), and we currently expect to incur continued losses until our revenue initiatives collectively generate substantial revenues. Please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 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, 2012.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
We have a working capital deficit and are in need of additional liquidity.
Our business plan had assumed that sales of the NavistarTM GPS Shoes would provide a substantial amount of our working capital, which revenues would be supplemented by revenues from our other products. To date, sales of the GPS Shoes have significantly underperformed our expectations, and revenues from our other products have also been less than we projected. As a result of the lack of sales revenues, we currently have a working capital deficit and our revenues are not sufficient to fund our operating needs. Accordingly, we will have to find alternative sources of funding in the near future. If we are not able to obtain additional funding in the near future, we may have to further reduce our operations, take other action to protect our properties and business, or cease operations altogether. Any such actions may have a negative effect on our shares.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
On September 17, 2013, we issued a total of 12,500,000 shares of common stock for services rendered. These shares consisted of a total of 11,250,000 shares (valued at $112,500) to our CEO, COO, interim CFO, two Board Members and a consultant as partial payment for accrued wages and 250,000 shares (valued at $2,500) being issued to each of the five member Board of Directors as compensation for the attendance of board meetings.
On October 21, 2013, we issued 4,166,667 shares of common stock (valued at $50,000) to our CEO as partial payment for accrued wages.
The sale of the above shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
