NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Description of Business

xG Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that has developed a broad portfolio of innovative intellectual property that we believe will enhance wireless communications. The Company’s intellectual property is embedded in proprietary software algorithms designed to offer cognitive interference mitigation and spectrum access solutions to organizations in a wide variety of industries, including national defense and rural broadband, which represent the primary vertical markets that the Company is initially targeting.

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2013 Financial Statements as filed on the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and recent Registration Statement on Form S-1, which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2014.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported period. Ultimate results could differ from the estimates of management.

 

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2014 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 may not be indicative of results for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At times, the Company’s cash balances may exceed the current insured amounts under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk for Cash

The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk. The Company expects cash to be the single asset most likely to subject the Company to concentration of credit risk. The Company’s policy is to maintain its cash with high credit quality financial institutions to limit its risk of loss exposure. During the year, the Company had cash balances in excess of the federally insured limits of $250,000. The funds are on deposit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Consequently, the Company does not believe that there is a significant risk having these balances in one financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in its bank accounts through March 31, 2014.

 

Inventory

Inventories, consisting principally of raw materials and finished goods, are carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Raw materials consist of purchased parts, components and work in process. The Company evaluates inventory balances and adjusts inventory to the lower of cost or market based upon anticipated usage of the inventory and the potential for obsolescence.

 

Intangible Assets

Capitalized software costs incurred in the research, design and development of software for sale to others as a separate product or embedded in a product and sold as part of the product as a whole are charged to expense until technological feasibility is established and amortized on a straight-line basis over five years, beginning when the products are offered for sale or the enhancements are integrated into the products. Management is required to use its judgment in determining whether capitalized software costs meet the criteria for immediate expense or capitalization, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (‘‘GAAP’’). The unamortized capitalized costs of a computer software product are compared to the net realizable value of that product and any excess is written off.

 

  

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (continued)

 

The Company’s proprietary software solutions operate in a fast changing industry that may generate unknown methods of detecting and monitoring disturbances that could render our technology inferior, resulting in the Company’s results of operations being materially adversely affected. The Company does, however, closely monitor trends and changes in technologies and customer demand that could adversely impact its competitiveness and overall success. It is reasonably possible that those estimates of anticipated future gross revenues, the remaining estimated economic life of the product, or both will be reduced significantly in the near term due to competitive pressures. As a result, the carrying amount of the capitalized software costs for the Company’s products may be reduced materially in the near term.

 

Costs incurred for product enhancements are charged to expense as research and development until the technological feasibility of the enhancement has been established. These enhancements are amortized on a straight line basis over the useful life of the product enhancement which is currently estimated to be five years beginning when the enhancements are integrated into the products that are offered for sale.

 

The Company’s software is inherently complex and may contain defects and errors that are only detectable when the products are in use. Such defects or errors could have a serious impact on our end customers, which could damage our reputation, harm our customer relationships and expose us to liability. Defects in the Company’s software could adversely affect our ability and that of our customers to ship products on a timely basis as well as customer or licensee demand for our products. Any such delays or declines in demand could reduce the Company’s revenues and harm our ability to achieve or sustain desired levels of profitability. We and our customers may also experience component or software failures or defects that could require significant product recalls, rework and/or repairs that are not covered by warranty reserves. Intellectual property is embedded in proprietary software algorithms that offer cognitive spectrum access and interference mitigation

solutions.

 

Patents and licenses are measured initially at purchase cost and are amortized on a straight line basis over their useful lives which range between 18.5 to 20 years.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are presented at cost at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful asset lives, which range from 3 to 7 years commencing the month following the purchase.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long lived assets including certain intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

In the event that management determines that a receivable becomes uncollectible, or events or circumstances change, which result in a temporary cessation of payments from the customer, we will make our best estimate of probable or potential losses in our accounts receivable balance using he allowance method for each quarterly period. Management will periodically review the receivables at the end of each quarterly reporting period and the appropriate accrual will be made based on current available evidence and historical experience. Allowance for doubtful accounts were $2,000 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from management and consulting, time-and-materials service contracts, maintenance agreements and other services are recognized as the services are provided or at the time the goods are shipped and title as passed.

 

Development Expenses

Development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for technical and programming personnel, are expensed as incurred and were $2,453,000 and $1,647,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

   

 

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (continued)

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the assets and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

The Company files a U.S. federal and state income tax return. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed by GAAP. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties as incurred in finance income (expense), net in the Statements of Operations. There were no liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2013 and 2012. 

  

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options.

 

The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (‘‘Black-Scholes’’) pricing model. For all employee stock options, the Company recognizes expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, expected term, and forfeiture rate. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions significantly impact stock-based compensation expense.

 

Options awarded to purchase shares of common stock issued to non-employees in exchange for services are accounted for as variable awards in accordance with applicable accounting principles. Such options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

Treasury Stock

Shares of common stock repurchased are recorded at cost as treasury stock. When shares are reissued, the cost method is used for determining cost. In accordance with GAAP, the excess of the acquisition cost over the reissuance price of the treasury stock, if any, is recorded to additional paid-in capital, limited to the amount previously credited to additional paid-in capital, if any. Any excess is charged to accumulated deficit.

 

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share amounts are based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible stock, subject to anti-dilution limitations. All such potentially dilutive instruments were anti-dilutive as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximately 5.29 million shares underlying the convertible debentures, options and warrants were anti-dilutive.

 

Warranty Reserve

The Company established a warranty reserve policy effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. Although the Company tests its product in accordance with its quality programs and processes, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates or service costs differ from the Company’s estimates, which are based on limited historical data, where applicable, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. The warranty reserve for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $9,000 and $8,000, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosing the fair value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.

 

  

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (continued)

 

In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at the time. For certain instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, it was estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. All debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and approximates fair value.

 

GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use on unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is described below:

 

	Level 1 –	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 –	Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
	Level 3 –	Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Principles

We are an ‘‘emerging growth company’’ as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a ‘‘large accelerated filer’’ as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period. Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, we have elected to utilize the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

 

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $156.7 million and a net loss of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain other financing or fulfill our existing backlog. As of May 15, 2014, the Company has a total backlog of $34.4 million. The ability to recognize revenue and ultimately cash receipts, on the existing backlog is contingent upon, but not limited to, acceptable performance of the delivered equipment and services. The Company began fulfilling orders associated with its back log during the fourth quarter of 2013. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

  

NOTE 3 - INVENTORY

 

Inventories included in the accompanying condensed balance sheet are stated at the lower of cost or market as summarized below:

  

		March 31,				December 31,
		2014				2013

Finished goods			1,937,000				455,000
Total Inventory		$	3,878,000			$	2,916,000

 

Based upon the Company’s analysis of the lower of cost or market, there was no reserve for inventory recorded as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

		Software Development Costs								Patents & Licenses								Total
		Costs				A.A.				Cost				A.A.
Balance as of December 31, 2013		$	14,788,000			$	(2,574,000	)		$	12,275,000			$	(6,293,000	)		$	18,196,000
Additions			188,000				—				5,000				—				193,000
Amortization			—				(730,000	)			—				(167,000	)			(897,000	)

Amortization of intangible assets amounted to $897,000 and $346,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The total cost basis of intangible assets at March 31, 2014 was $27.3 million which consists of $26.9 million of costs that are subject to amortization and $0.4 million of assets that are not subject to amortization.

 

Software Development Costs

At March 31, 2014 the Company has capitalized a total of $15.0 million of software development costs. Included in the capitalized costs is $0.3 million of costs associated with enhancement of the xMax cognitive radio products. These costs are not being amortized considering that the enhancement is not yet incorporated in products and available for sale. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized amortization of software development costs available for sale of $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

 

Patents & Licenses

Overview

 

We have developed a broad portfolio of innovative intellectual property to enhance wireless communications. Our intellectual property is embedded in proprietary software algorithms that offer cognitive interference mitigation and spectrum access solutions for countless applications using commercial off the shelf devices. We recently released the commercially available version of our software and hardware products using our proprietary xMax® cognitive radio technology.

 

Our current cognitive radio technology is based on years of product development. In 2008 and 2009, we generated material revenues from sales of our prior BSN250 voice-only products. After the introduction of various smartphones in 2007 and later that could handle both voice and data, we decided to enhance our voice-only products to include data services. In 2011, we delivered our enhanced BSN250 base station and TX70 handset for both voice and SMS services to the U.S. Army. Given the proliferation of smartphones, the U.S. Army subsequently requested that our BSN250 base station should integrate with commercial off the shelf devices. In 2013, we introduced an improved product line that could handle both voice and data services. These new products, the xAP base station and xMod and xVM modems, are able to communicate with any wi-fi enabled commercial off the shelf device. We have generated significant net losses for the past several years and we expect to continue to realize net losses for the immediate future. We estimate that we will begin generating revenues sufficient to cover the cost of our operations in late 2014.

 

We believe that the wireless communications industry is facing a ‘‘spectrum crisis’’ because the demand for flexible, affordable voice and data access continues to increase rapidly while the amount of available spectrum remains relatively constant. We have developed frequency-agnostic cognitive radio solutions to address this increasing demand by eliminating the need to acquire scarce and expensive licensed radio spectrum, and thus ideally lowering the total cost of ownership for wireless broadband access. With fast-growing demand straining network capacity, our intellectual property is also designed to help wireless broadband network operators make more efficient use of their existing spectrum allocations. We are targeting sales in numerous industries worldwide, such as telecommunications services, public safety and defense, and in markets ranging from rural to urban areas as well as expeditionary deployments.

 

  

The initial implementation of our cognitive radio intellectual property is xMax. We believe the xMax system is the only commercially available cognitive radio network system that includes our interference mitigation and spatial processing technologies. xMax implements our proprietary interference mitigation software that can increase capacity on already crowded airwaves by improving interference tolerance, enabling the delivery of higher QoS than other technologies that would not be able to cope with the interference. We believe that the xMax system will also, when operating on more than one radio channel, deliver dynamic spectrum access by using our patented self-organizing network techniques. Furthermore, the xMax system can be used to provide additional capacity to licensed spectrum by identifying and utilizing unused bandwidth within the licensed spectrum.

 

Our system is frequency agnostic, although currently designed to operate within the 902 – 928 MHz unlicensed band of spectrum. xMax serves as a mobile VoIP and broadband data system that utilizes an end-to-end IP system architecture. The xMax product and service suite includes access points, mobile switching centers, network management systems, deployment tools and proactive customer support. The xMax system will allow mobile operators to utilize free, unlicensed 902 – 928 MHz ISM band spectrum (which spectrum is available in all of the Americas except French Guiana) instead of purchasing scarce and expensive licensed spectrum. Our xMax system will also enable enterprises to set up a mobile communications network in an expeditious and cost-effective manner.

 

We are executing on our sales and marketing strategy and have entered into direct sales agreements with end-customers and indirect sales agreements with channel network partners. These customer engagements are primarily in two of our target markets: public safety and rural telecommunications. Together, they comprise commitments to purchase xMax® cognitive radio networking equipment, engineering and support services and other hardware worth approximately $34.4 million, of which the Company anticipates approximately $17.4 million to be delivered in 2014 and $17 million thereafter.

 

Plan of Operations

 

We are executing on our sales and marketing strategy and have entered into agreements both direct with end-customers as well as with indirect channel network partners. These customer engagements primarily relate to two of our target markets in rural telecommunications and defense. Together, they comprise commitments to purchase xMax® cognitive radio networking equipment, engineering services and other hardware worth approximately $34.4 million.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013

 

Revenues

 

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014, were $250,000 compared to $0 in the corresponding periods in 2013. The revenue of $250,000 resulted from $200,000 in sales of equipment and $50,000 from a consulting services agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses

 

Cost of Components and Personnel

Cost of components and personnel for the three months ended March 31, 2014, were $63,000 compared to $0 in the corresponding period in 2013. Of the $63,000, $60,000 was based on the cost of components and the time allocated to building the products sold, and $3,000 was based on the cost of the time allocated towards the engineering and consulting service agreement.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses are the expenses of operating the business on a daily basis. This includes salary and benefit expenses and payroll taxes, as well as the costs of trade shows, marketing programs, promotional materials, professional services, facilities, general liability insurance, and travel. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred aggregate expense of $1.7 million, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, representing an increase of $0.3 million or 24%. The increase is due to an increase in consulting fees associated with the Company’s listing on NASDAQ. Over time, we expect our administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars due to continued growth in headcount to support our business and operations as a public company.

 

Development Expenses

Development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefit expenses and payroll taxes, as well as costs for prototypes, facilities and travel. Development expenses increased $0.9 million, or 49%, from $1.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $2.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is due to an increase in number of employees, additional costs related to developing our products. Over time, we expect our development costs to increase as we continue making significant investments in developing new products and enhancing technology related to our existing products.

 

Stock Based Compensation

Stock based compensation increased $0.07 million from $0.14 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $0.21 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase arose from the increase in the number of outstanding options being expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Amortization and Depreciation

Amortization and depreciation expenses increased $0.51 million, or 118%, from $0.44 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $0.95 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is attributed to the xMax products becoming available for sale as of September 30, 2013. As of this date, the Company began to amortize all capitalized costs associated with these products. The Company did not record amortization on these products during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Other

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.05 million compared to $0.61 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $0.55 million or 93%. The decrease was due to the conversion of the bridge loan on July 18, 2013, whereas all principal and interest was converted to equity. 

 

Net Loss

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had a net loss of $5.2 million, as compared to a net loss of $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, or an increase of $1.0 million. The increase in net loss is due mainly to the increase in development expenses and amortization discussed above.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company has positive working capital of approximately $1.4 million and $686,000 of cash and cash equivalents. We have incurred net losses of $5.2 million and $4.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additionally, we have incurred negative operating cash flows including cash used in operations of $4.5 million and $1.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the first three months of 2014, the Company relied upon prior period’s investments through proceeds from the IPO, second offering, bridge loans and convertible notes payable.

 

On April 22, 2014, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 5,265,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, at a purchase price to the public of $1.90 per share, for net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriter discounts and offering expenses, of $9,069,692. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 789,750 shares to cover over-allotments, if any. Roth Capital Partners and Feltl and Company acted as underwriters for the offering.

 

Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products and overall economic conditions.

 

 

Cash Flows

 

The following table sets forth the major components of our statements of cash flows data for the periods presented.

 

For the Three Month Period Ended

(In Thousands)

 

		March 31, 2014				March 31, 2013

Investing Activities		$	(277	)		$	(700	)
Financing Activities		$	31			$	2,632
Cash at end of period		$	686			$	291

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $4.5 million as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Of the $4.5 million, approximately $1.0 million was related to the increase of our inventory and $0.7 million to the reduction of our payables and the remaining consisted principally of the net loss from operations.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.3 million as compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This represents capital expenditures primarily associated with the investment in product and technology development and our patent portfolio.

 

Financing Activities

 

Our net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.03 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The cash used by financing was related to payments made under capital lease for equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and to the proceed from convertible notes payable and a convertible bridge loan for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not currently have any 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 are material to our stockholders.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to 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. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, because of the identification of a control deficiency described below, management concluded that as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

In connection with our initial public offering in July 2013 in the United States we switched over from financial reporting in IFRS to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our management has previously identified a control deficiency regarding inadequate accounting resources with the requisite knowledge of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The accounting department is in the process of cross training our employees, and implementing additional accounting policies and controls to resolve the issues previously described. We believe this will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future.

  

Changes in Internal Controls

 

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
