GTX CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2015
(Unaudited)
1.
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
During the periods covered by these financial statements, GTX Corp and subsidiaries (the Company or GTX) were engaged in businesses that design, develop and sell various interrelated and complementary products and services in the Personal Location Wearable Technology marketplace. GTX owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Global Trek Xploration (GTX California) and LOCiMOBILE, Inc. Through February 2015, GTX also owned 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Code Amber News Service, Inc. (CANS), which it dissolved in February 2015.
GTX California focuses on intellectual property, hardware, software, connectivity, design and development of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) monitoring and tracking solutions by providing real-time tracking of the whereabouts of people and high valued assets. Utilizing a miniature quad band GPRS transceiver, antenna, circuitry, battery and inductive charging pad our product(s) can be customized and integrated into numerous products and form factors whose location and movement can be monitored in real time over the Internet through our 24x7 tracking portal or on a web enabled cellular telephone. Our core products and services are supported by an IP portfolio of patents, patents pending, registered trademarks, copyrights, URLs and a library of software source code. LOCiMOBILE, Inc., has been at the forefront of Smartphone application (App) development since 2008. With a suite of mobile applications that turn the iPhone, iPad, Android and other GPS enabled handsets into a tracking device which can be tracked from handset to handset or through our tracking portal or on any connected device with internet access. LOCiMOBILE has launched numerous Apps across multi mobile device operating systems and continues to launch consumer and enterprise apps. During 2014, CANS provided state Amber Alerts throughout the US and Canada via website tickers and news feeds to merchants, internet service providers, affiliate partners, corporate sponsors and local, state and federal agencies.
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 three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, 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 $311,822 and $1,777,080 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $17,551,177 as of March 31, 2015, and has negative working capital of $983,568 as of March 31, 2015. 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 Companys ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of debt or equity is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Companys contemplated plan of operations, or its attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of 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.
Fair Value Estimates
Pursuant to the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 820, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, the Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC No. 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. ASC No. 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the asset/liabilitys anticipated life.
Level 3Inputs reflect managements best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.
Derivative Instruments
Our debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.
Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instrument and risk-free rates of return, our current Common Stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our Common Stock price over the life of the option.
Reclassifications
For comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2015. These reclassifications have no impact on net loss.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued accounting pronouncements, most of which represent technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries, which are not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We do not believe that the adoption of any recently issued accounting standards will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

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 Companys 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 Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Warrant). Atlantic had the right 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 Companys 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.
In accordance with the terms of the Atlantic Note, on March 3, 2015, Atlantic exercised its right to convert the Atlantic Note and Warrant into 12% of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock as of November 13, 2014. As a result, the Company issued 22,523,226 share of our common stock, valued at $225,232, to Atlantic as conversion of the $200,000 convertible note plus accrued interest of approximately $13,000. The shares issued represented full satisfaction of the Atlantic Note and Warrant.
If Atlantic is unable to dispose of the shares of common stock into which the Atlantic Note and Warrant has been converted (the Registrable Shares) under Rule 144 as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended 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.

Convertible Notes
During the fourth quarter of 2014 we entered into 10 separate note and share purchase agreements with 10 independent accredited investors. As a result, we have issued ten convertible notes with a total principal balance of $201,000 (the Q4 2014 Convertible Notes) and granted 1,675,000 shares of common stock (Q4 2014 Stock) of which 250,000 remained to be issued at December 31, 2014. In exchange for the Q4 2014 Convertible Notes and Q4 2014 Stock, we received cash proceeds of $167,500. The Q4 2014 Convertible Notes carry an original issue discount of 17%, mature on December 31, 2015 and are convertible into common stock of the Company at $0.015 per share, subject to adjustment and mandatory conversion. The Q4 2014 Stock was valued at the fair market value of $16,750 and is recorded as finance costs in Additional Paid in Capital at December 31, 2014. In addition to the Q4 2014 Convertible Notes and the Q4 2014 Stock, a total of 1,675,000 additional shares of the Companys common stock will be issued to the investors if the Q4 2014 Convertible Notes are not repaid or converted prior to June 30, 2015.
During the period ended March 31, 2015, we entered into note and share purchase agreements with 3 independent accredited investors. As a result, we issued convertible notes with a total principal balance of $270,000 (the Q1 2015 Convertible Notes) and issued 2,250,000 shares of common stock (Q1 2015 Stock) in exchange for cash proceeds of $225,000. The Q1 2015 Convertible Notes carry an original issue discount of 17%, mature on December 31, 2015 and are convertible into common stock of the Company at $0.015 per share, subject to adjustment and mandatory conversion. The Q1 2015 Stock was valued at the fair market value of $22,500 and is recorded as finance costs in Additional Paid in Capital at March 31, 2015. In addition to the Q1 2015 Convertible Notes and the Q1 2015 Stock, a total of 2,250,000 additional shares of the Companys common stock will be issued to the investors if the Q1 2015 Convertible Notes are not repaid or converted prior to June 30, 2015.

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 managements 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.
As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms GTX Corp, GTX, "we", "us", "our", and the Company mean GTX Corp and our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Operations
GTX Corp and its subsidiaries (currently, GTX California and LOCiMOBILE, Inc.) are engaged in businesses that design, develop and sell various interrelated and complementary products and services in the Personal Location Services marketplace. GTX California focuses on hardware and software design and development of products and services by offering a Global Positioning System (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. LOCiMOBILE, Inc. has developed and owns LOCiMobileTM, 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 tracked from handset to handset or through our Location Data Center tracking portal and which allows the user to send a map to the recipients phone showing the users location. During 2014, we also provided state Amber Alerts throughout the US and Canada via website tickers and news feeds to merchants, internet service providers, affiliate partners, corporate sponsors and local, state and federal agencies through Code Amber News Service, Inc. (CANS), a wholly-owned subsidiary. In February 2015, we dissolved CANS in order to focus primarily on our GPS monitoring products. The following discussion regarding our results of operations for Q1 2014 includes CANS.
Overview
During Q1 GTX Corp focused on the expanding its sales channels for the GPS SmartSole® (the SmartSole), a product designed to monitor the location of the wearer of shoes that are outfitted with the SmartSole by increasing its international distributors to 9, who service 13 countries and adding 10 U.S. regional sales representatives along with 60 online affiliates. We started commercial shipments of the SmartSole product in January 2015.
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.

Revenues
Revenues during Q1 2015 increased by 593% or $123,398 in comparison to Q1 2014 primarily due to the launch and initial shipments of the Companys lead product, the GPS SmartSoles in 2015. Revenues from the sale of GPS SmartSoles accounted for approximately 90% of the total revenue for the Q1 2015 quarter, reflecting the Companys strategic focus on market penetration for its GPS SmartSoles. The balance of the revenue for the first quarter of 2015 represented sales of stand-alone units, monthly service plans and App downloads. Since the SmartSole was still under development in Q1 2014, no SmartSole revenues were received in Q1 2014 from this product. Substantially all of the SmartSole revenues were generated from the sale of the SmartSole product. However, purchasers of the SmartSole tracking device are required to pay monthly subscription fees.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold increased 934% or $92,449 during Q1 2015 in comparison to Q1 2014 primarily due to manufacturing costs of the Companys GPS SmartSoles shipped during Q1 2015. Total gross margin decreased from 52% in Q1 2014 to 29% in Q1 2015, which reflects the short term shift toward lower margin sales of the GPS SmartSole which commenced in Q1 2015. As the GPS SmartSoles begin to achieve monthly recurring subscription revenue, it is expected that gross margins will increase reflecting the higher margin service subscription revenue.
Wages and professional fees
Wages and professional fees during Q1 2015 increased 22% or $46,302 in comparison to Q1 2014 primarily due to the hiring of additional sales and marketing team members to support the planned growth phase of the business as the adoption of GPS SmartSoles continues in 2015, along with stock based compensation to business development and strategic consultants. Professional fees are expected to increase as we grow our business and expand our products into the wearable technology marketplace both in the U.S. and internationally
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses during Q1 2015 decreased by 28% or $21,423 in comparison to Q1 2014 primarily due to a reduction in portal development related expenses that were incurred last year in anticipation of this years launch.
Other expense, net
Other expense, net decreased by $1,459,188 from Q1 2014 to Q1 2015 primarily as a result of elimination of all non-cash derivative liabilities associated with prior financings in 2013 and 2014. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no derivative liabilities. Other expense, net in Q1 2015 represents primarily interest expense related to the Q4 2014 Convertible Notes entered into in Q4 2014 and Q1 2015.
13
Net loss
Net loss decreased by $1,465,258 from Q1 2014 to Q1 2015 primarily as a result of the reduction of non-cash derivative liabilities associated with prior financings in 2013 and 2014. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no derivative liabilities. Net loss also decreased as a result of the revenues and associated gross margin generated by the sale of GPS SmartSoles.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2015, we had $27,832 of cash and cash equivalents, and a working capital deficit of $983,568, compared to $12,168 of cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $1,196,149 as of December 31, 2014. A large part of our negative working capital position at March 31, 2015 consisted of $333,150 of amounts due to officers and management of the Company for accrued wages and $471,000 related to the principal balance of unsecured convertible promissory notes. As further described below, since March 31, 2015, we have received a total of $50,000 from the sale of unsecured convertible promissory notes.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, our net loss was $311,822, compared to a net loss of $1,777,080 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Net cash used in operating activities for Q1 2015 and Q1 2014 was $207,251 and $134,286, respectively. Net cash used in operations was higher in Q1 2015 as compared to Q1 2014 because of non-cash expenses relating to stock issued for services.
Net cash provided by financing activities during Q1 2015 was $225,000 and consisted primarily of proceeds totaling $225,000 received from advances under various convertible note payable agreements. Net cash provided by financing activities during Q1 2014 was $172,500 and consists of proceeds totaling $175,000 received from advances under a convertible note payable agreement, as well as, a payment of $2,500 on a short-term loan received from a Board Member.
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. In July 2013, we entered into an exclusive three-year contract with Atlantic Footcare, Inc. (Atlantic), to develop and launch the GPS SmartSole® (the SmartSole). Atlantic is the Companys exclusive manufacturer of the new shoe insole to be used with our embedded GPS devices. In 2014 we entered into various test pilot programs with third parties for the GPS SmartSole product, both in the U.S. and internationally. In late Q4 2014, we entered the volume production cycle for the SmartSoles and began commercial shipments in January 2015. The sale of the SmartSole product, and the recurring revenues that we will receive from users, is expected to enhance our liquidity in 2015, although the amount of revenues we receive in 2015 still cannot be estimated.
Until such time as the SmartSoles can support our working capital requirement, we expect to continue to generate revenues from our other licenses, 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, especially during the first half of 2015. 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 2015.
In order to continue funding our working capital needs and our product development costs, during the fourth quarter of 2014 we entered into 10 separate note and share purchase agreements with 10 independent accredited investors. As a result, we have issued ten convertible notes with a total principal balance of $201,000 (the Q4 2014 Convertible Notes) and granted 1,675,000 shares of common stock (Q4 2014 Stock) of which 250,000 remained to be issued at December 31, 2014. In exchange for the Q4 2014 Convertible Notes and Q4 2014 Stock, we received cash proceeds of $167,500. The Q4 2014 Convertible Notes carry an original issue discount of 17%, mature on December 31, 2015 and are convertible into common stock of the Company at $0.015 per share, subject to adjustment and mandatory conversion. The Q4 2014 Stock was valued at the fair market value of $16,750 and is recorded as finance costs in Additional Paid in Capital at December 31, 2014. In addition to the Q4 2014 Convertible Notes and the Q4 2014 Stock, a total of 1,675,000 additional shares of the Companys common stock will be issued to the investors if the Q4 2014 Convertible Notes are not repaid or converted prior to June 30, 2015.
In the first quarter of 2015, we entered into additional Q1 2015 Convertible Notes with 3 independent accredited investors. As a result, we issued convertible notes with a total principal balance of $270,000 and granted 2,250,000 shares of common stock in exchange for cash proceeds of $225,000. The stock was valued at the fair market value of $22,500 and is recorded as finance costs in Additional Paid in Capital. In addition, as per the terms of the Q4 2014 Convertible Notes, a total of 2,250,000 additional shares of the Companys common stock will be issued to the investors if the Q4 2014 Convertible Notes are not repaid or converted prior to June 30, 2015.

Subsequent to March 31, 2015, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with an unaffiliated third party (the Investor) relating to the sale of unsecured convertible promissory notes. The promissory notes are divided into units (Units), each in the principal amount of $25,000. The promissory notes bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum, payable quarterly and a maturity date of April 14, 2017. The unsecured convertible promissory notes are convertible into common stock of the Company at a price of $0.015 per share at any time by the holder, subject to certain conditions and restrictions set forth in the notes. On April 14, 2015 and again on May 5, 2015, the Investor purchased a $25,000 Unit (for a total of $50,000). The Investor desires to become a reseller of our GPS SmartSole product. We are currently in negotiations with the Investor regarding the terms of such a reseller agreement. If we enter into a reseller agreement by the end of May 2015, the Investor is required to purchase an additional three (3) Units (the Mandatory Purchase). In the event the Investor and the Company complete the Mandatory Purchase, the Investor will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an additional five (5) Units totaling $125,000 on or before August 15, 2015, at which time such right shall expire.
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 SmartSoles, device sales, subscriptions, software licensing, or our smart phone or tablet Apps will generate significant revenues during the balance of 2015.
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. We currently do not have sufficient capital on hand to fully fund our proposed research and development activities, which lack of product development may negatively affect our future revenues.
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 2015. 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. 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 March 31, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $17,551,177, 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, 2014 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, 2014.
