Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and as of December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

Nature of Operations -BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “BioHiTech”) through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, BioHiTech America, LLC, BioHiTech Europe Limited and E.N.A. Renewables LLC (formerly Entsorga North America, LLC) (collectively “subsidiaries”) offers its customers cost-effective and technologically innovative advancements integrating technological, biological and mechanical engineering solutions for the control, reduction and / or reuse of organic and municipal waste.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 included within the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2017. The financial information as of December 31, 2016 presented hereto is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or for any future interim periods.

Reclassifications to certain prior period amounts have been made to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss.

Going Concern — For the three months ended March, 31, 2017, the Company had a net loss of $2,028,533, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $1,732,277 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $936,413. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had a net loss of $6,745,386, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $5,924,667 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $5,181,400. At March 31, 2017, consolidated stockholders’ deficit amounted to $13,110,567 and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $9,205,634. The Company does not yet have a history of financial stability. Historically the principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of debt and equity securities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's further implementation of the Company’s on-going and strategic plans, which include continuing to raise funds through debt and/or equity raises. Should the Company be unable to raise adequate funds, certain aspects of the on-going and strategic plans may require modification.

The Company is presently in the process of raising additional non-registered convertible debt and capital for general operations and for investment in several strategic initiatives, as well as commercial debt to support its leasing activities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient debt or capital to sustain operations or to pursue other strategic initiatives.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, obsolete, slow moving and excess inventory, asset valuations, including goodwill and intangibles, and useful lives, employee benefits, taxes and other provisions and contingencies.

BioHiTech Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and as of December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

Product and Services Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue for the majority of its products sold upon transfer of title and the passage of the risk of ownership, which is generally upon shipment to the customer. Revenue from services is recognized as services are performed.

Lease Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue from the rental of the digester units ratably on a monthly basis over the term of the lease, as it has determined that the rental agreements entered into in connection with its Eco Safe Digester units qualify as operating leases, for which the Company is the operating lessor.

Fair Value Measurements — Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets held and used, long-lived assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation methodologies based on the reliability of the inputs, is:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.

In connection with a professional services agreement, a warrant liability for an agreement to issue warrants that were not issued as of March 31, 2017 has been recognized with a fair value of $105,188 on March 31, 2017 based upon utilization of the Black–Scholes–Merton model utilizing a stock price of $2.954 on the date of the grant, an exercise price of $2.75, a standard deviation (volatility) of 31.43%, a risk free interest rate of 2.88% with a term of 5 years.

Equity Method Based Investments — The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting for investments in companies if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but no control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. The Company’s proportionate share of net income or loss is included in the Company’s consolidated operations as earning or loss from unconsolidated equity basis investments.

Income Taxes — Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given provisions of enacted laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the asset or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates, estimates the future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning and strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more than likely” criteria.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s effective rate, before valuations, was 39.8% and 36.7%, respectively, and would have resulted in net deferred tax assets for federal and state tax purposes arising primarily from net operating losses; A full valuation allowance due to the level of uncertainty relative to the realization of the deferred tax assets has been provided resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.0%.

Loss per Share — The Company computes basic loss per share using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and diluted loss per share, while the diluted loss per share also includes the effects of dilutive instruments using the “treasury method.”

The Company’s potential dilutive instruments include options, convertible debt and warrants. These instruments have not been considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share as they are anti-dilutive for the reported periods.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company executed several agreements to acquire up to approximately a 40% interest in EWV from the original investors at their original purchase price of $60,000 for each 1% of interest in EWV. The agreement provides for a required investment of $1,034,028, representing a 17.2% interest, with the remaining 23.1% being at the option of the Company. The agreement was subject to the approval of the EWV bond trustee, which was granted on March 20, 2017. On March 21, 2017, the Company completed the required investment acquisition of $1,034,028 for a 17.2% interest, which is recognized utilizing the equity method of accounting. The acquisition by the Company was funded by a short-term advance from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Note 18. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company implemented the following recent accounting pronouncements:

Stock Compensation - In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (Topic 718). The amendments in this ASU is to significantly reduce the complexity and cost of accounting for excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to employee share-based payment transactions, which include restricted stock and stock options. Also, ASU No. 2016-09 requires an entity to run excess tax benefits and deficiencies through its income statement, which in effect eliminates the concept of additional paid-in capital. This new guidance was implemented during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and its implementation did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Inventory - In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires inventory measured using any method other than last-in, first out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. This new guidance was implemented during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and its implementation did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and as of December 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

Statement of Cash Flows – In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The update amends the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice related to eight specific cash flow issues. The Company elected to early adopt this new guidance was during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and its implementation did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

The Company has not yet implemented the following recent accounting pronouncements:

Revenue from Contracts with Customers - In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (Topic 606). The amendments clarify two aspects of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” by providing (1) guidance for identifying performance obligations and (2) licensing implementation guidance. Public business entities should apply the guidance similar to Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition and affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is the recognition of revenue when a company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company does not anticipate that the adoption, by means of a retrospective approach with a cumulative effect, if any, will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance (ASU No. 2016-02, Leases). Under the new guidance, at the commencement date, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new guidance is not applicable for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company will evaluate the effects, if any, that adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 19. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Any material events that occur between the balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements were available for issuance are disclosed as subsequent events, while the financial statements are adjusted to reflect any conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. Based upon this review, except as discussed below, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Authorized Common Shares – On January 25, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the authorized number of common shares, $0.0001 par, from 20,000,000 to 50,000,000. The increase was approved by a majority of the principal amount outstanding of Series Debt holders, as required by the terms of the Series Debt, and is subject to future approval by the shareholders of the Company.

Company Overview

Since its inception, the Company had primarily focused on its on-going Eco-Safe Digester business. During 2014 and 2015 the Company expanded its offering through the development of technologies that transformed the digester market from just food waste diversion to one that provides information that can allow customers to reduce and eliminate or minimize their food waste through improved supply chain management and other efficiencies.

During 2016, the Company initiated development of its Revolution Series of Digesters. During March 2017, the Seed model became commercially available. During April 2017, a second Revolution Series model, the Sprout, became commercially available. Presently there are three Seeds and one Sprout undergoing capacity and workflow testing at several new prospective large food chain customers, with additional customers and prospects requesting units.

Also during 2016, the Company expanded from its technology-digester single product line by starting strategic initiatives in Mechanical Biological Treatment (“MBT”) facilities that rely upon High Efficiency Biological Treatment (“HEBioT”) to process waste at the municipal or regional level converting a significant portion of intake into an United States EPA recognized alternative commodity fuel.

During March 2017, the Company consummated its 17.2% investment in Entsorga West Virginia, LLC, the first HEBioT plant in the United States, which is presently under construction and anticipated to become operational during 2017.

Subsequent to March 2017, the Company executed an agreement to acquire a site for the second HEBioT facility to be located in New Windsor, New York. This agreement provides for a purchase price of the property of $1,092,000, subject to reduction for option payments made by the Company in the monthly amount of $3,500 for the first 12 months and $6,000 per month for the following 12 months, until the closing. The purchase of the property is contingent upon the Company obtaining: necessary permits to allow construction of a Mechanical Biological Treatment (“MBT”) facility; approvals from state and local authorities; financing for the construction of the MBT facility; contracts for offtake of Solid Recovered Fuel; and the satisfaction of the Company’s due diligence investigation of the property. The contract also contains customary representations warranties and covenants of the parties for like transactions.

The combination of the on-site digester and the facility based HEBioT technology results in a unique offering that provides a turn-key alternative for customers looking for a comprehensive solution to achieving zero waste. The Company envisions use of its digesters for disposal of food waste at certain retail customers’ locations, with regional disposal contracts being directed to the Company MBT facilities. The combination provides a cost-effective solution with less than 20% of post-consumer waste being directed to landfills, hence resulting in a near-zero footprint.

Digester Based Products and Services

Eco-Safe Digester®

The Company provides a simple, environmentally friendly, and cost effective solution for food waste disposal. The Eco-Safe Digester® is a data-driven, network-based mechanical/biological technology which transforms food waste into nutrient-neutral water that can safely be disposed of via conventional sanitary sewer systems. The Eco-Safe Digester reduces greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the volume of food waste being disposed of in landfills and eliminating the corresponding transportation of this waste. In addition, the technology saves users money by avoiding disposal costs (“tip fees”) and transportation charges. This process allows waste producing organizations to actively contribute to environmental sustainability and the preservation of resources in a cost-effective manner. The Eco-Safe Digester may be used by businesses in food service, hospitality, healthcare, government, conference centers, education centers, or stadiums that generate a high volume of waste. It is estimated that the US addressable market is in excess of 250,000 locations that could qualify for digesters and an additional 250,000 internationally.

Revolution Series Digester®

The Revolution Series Digester®, which became commercially available in March 2017, is the Company's new sustainable food waste disposal solution designed for lower volume food waste generators. Our Revolution Series of Digesters may be used by full and quick service restaurants, coffee shops, hospitality companies and other specialty food service establishments that generate lesser volumes of waste than those that the Eco-Safe Digester is more suitable for. This sub-segment of the food services industry is estimated to have more than 1.5 million locations.

The Revolution Series Digesters leverages the success of the underlying technologies of our current line of Eco-Safe Digesters designed for the mid-to-large volume waste generators. This new line has a compact design, operates on standard 115 Volt power and is easily connected to existing plumbing, while providing all the user technology, including the Cloud^TM, Cirrus^TM, Mobile Application and Alto^TM applications associated with the larger digesters.

The BioHiTech BioBrain^TM, Cloud^TM, Cirrus^TM Mobile Application and Alto^TM Application

The Company leverages its existing technology, including our digester’s on-board weighing system, by collecting, accumulating and providing empirical data that can aid in improving the efficiency of the upstream supply chain. By streaming data from the digesters, collecting information from system users and integrating business application data, BioHiTech’s internet enabled system known as the BioHiTech Cloud^TM can provide necessary data to aid customers in reshaping their purchasing decisions and positively affect employee behavior. In its simplest form, the BioHiTech Cloud quantifies food waste in a fashion that has historically not been available. It enables users to understand food waste generation habits and to improve operational efficiencies.

The BioHiTech Cloud data is used to help educate customers as to where, when and how waste is being created. Tracking and analyzing waste based on creation time, food type, preparation stage, origin of waste or other key metrics may provide a clear picture of the food waste lifecycle. While the Eco-Safe Digester already provides significant economic savings and decreases in carbon footprint, the addition of the BioHiTech Cloud increases that impact by helping the customer to more accurately manage inventory, preparation practices and staff efficiencies.

The Company believes that its combined offering of technology and its Eco-Safe Digester provide customers with information that has not been readily available to consumers in the past that has the potential for improved management and reduction of waste at the point of generation on a real-time basis.

Mechanical Biological Treatment

In 2016, the Company formed E.N.A Renewables LLC, formerly known as Entsorga North America, LLC (“ENA”) as a wholly owned subsidiary. ENA owns a 31% interest in Apple Valley Waste Conversions, LLC (“AVWC”). Frank E. Celli, the Company’s CEO also owns a 20.9% interest in AVWC. In March 2017, Mr. Celli assigned his voting rights in AVWC so that, collectively, ENA would have voting control of over 51% of AVWC. AVWC currently holds the exclusive license for the development throughout 11 northeast U.S. states and the District of Columbia of the technology known as High Efficiency Biological Treatment (“HEBioT”), which is owned by Entsorgafin, an Italian company that provides cost effective environmental technologies throughout the world. HEBioT is a proprietary form of Mechanical Biological Treatment (“MBT”) that is used widely throughout Europe. During 2016, the Company’s MBT activities have been limited to initial project development.

The HEBioT technology converts mixed municipal and organic waste to a US Environmental Protection Agency (the “US EPA”) recognized alternative fuel source. By utilizing a combination of mechanical and biological processes to accelerate the decomposition of the organic fraction of waste, the end-product produced, known as solid recovered fuel (“SRF”) has a carbon value equivalent to approximately 75-80% of traditional coal and can be used as a replacement and/or supplement to coal. After receipt and processing of waste at the facility, approximately 80% of the incoming waste is reduced, recycled or converted into the approved alternative fuel, with the remaining 20% of the incoming waste being disposed of via traditional methods.

The US EPA has issued a “comfort letter” stating that any fuel produced utilizing the HEBioT technology is deemed an engineered fuel and can be marketed as a commodity.

Enstorga West Virginia, LLC.

On January 1, 2017, the Company executed several agreements to acquire up to approximately a 40% interest in EWV from the original investors at their original purchase price of $60,000 for each 1% of interest in EWV. The agreements provide for a required investment of $1,034,028, representing a 17.2% interest, with the remaining 23.1% being at the option of the Company. The agreement was subject to the approval of the EWV bond trustee, which was granted on March 20, 2017. On March 21, 2017, the Company completed the required investment acquisition of $1,034,028 for a 17.2% interest

EWV represents the first deployment of the Entsorga HEBioT technology in the United States. Such deployment is currently underway in Martinsburg, WV. EWV has its own intellectual property agreement with Entsorgafin S.p.A. which is not part of the agreement that AVWC has with Entsorgafin S.p.A. The EWV plant has received its necessary permits and EWV has closed on its financing to construct the facility. We anticipate the facility will be able to accept up to 110,000 tons per year of municipal solid waste delivered from the surrounding areas. The facility will consist of a 54,000 square foot industrial building located on approximately 12 acres of leased property. The facility will include a plant which will be equipped with HEBioT technology and will ultimately be able to produce approximately 50,000 tons per year of EPA recognized renewable fuel.

This first operational plant utilizing the patented HEBioT technology in the United States will serve as the company’s “showplace” to help expedite future deployments.

New Windsor, NY Development

On March 1, 2017, the Town Counsel of New Windsor, NY approved, subject to a 30 day petition period during which certain voters could objection, the sale of 12 acres of property to the Company for the development of a Mechanical Biological Treatment (“MBT”) facility. On April 3, 2017, the Town Clerk of New Windsor certified that there had not been any objections raised and the agreement was executed on April 10, 2017. The purchase price of the property is $1,092,000, subject to reduction for option payments made by the Company in the monthly amount of $3,500 for the first 12 months and $6,000 per month for the following 12 months, until the closing. The purchase of the property is contingent upon the Company obtaining: necessary permits to allow construction of a MBT facility; approvals from state and local authorities; financing for the construction of the MBT facility; contracts for offtake of Solid Recovered Fuel; and the satisfaction of the Company’s due diligence investigation of the property. The contract also contains customary representations warranties and covenants of the parties for like transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, obsolete, slow moving and excess inventory, asset valuations, including goodwill and intangibles, and useful lives, employee benefits, taxes and other provisions and contingencies.

Product and Services Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue for the majority of its products sold upon transfer of title and the passage of the risk of ownership, which is generally upon shipment to the customer. Revenue from services is recognized as services are performed.

Lease Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue from the rental of the digester units ratably on a monthly basis over the term of the lease, as it has determined that the rental agreements entered into in connection with its Eco Safe Digester units qualify as operating leases, for which the Company is the operating lessor. In order to determine lease classification as operating, the Company evaluates the terms of the rental agreement to determine if the lease includes any of the following provisions which would indicate capital lease treatment:

Transfer of ownership of the digester unit,

Bargain purchase option at the end of the term of the lease,

Lease term is greater than 75% of the economic life of the digester unit, or

Present value of minimum lease payments exceed 90% of the fair value of the digester unit at inception of the lease.

In addition, the Company also considers the following:

Collectability of the minimum lease payments is reasonably predictable, and

No important uncertainties surround the amount of unreimbursable costs yet to be incurred by the Company under the lease.

Long-Lived Assets - The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based upon the most recent information available. Estimated fair market value is generally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows.

Financial Instruments, Convertible Instruments, Warrants and Derivatives - The Company reviews its convertible instruments for the existence of embedded conversion features which may require bifurcation, if certain criteria are met, the bifurcated derivative financial instrument is required to be recorded at fair value and adjusted to market at each reporting period end date. The Company also reviews and re-assesses, at each reporting date, any common stock purchase warrants and other freestanding derivative financial instruments and classifies them on the consolidated balance sheet as equity, assets or liabilities based upon the nature of the instruments.

Fair Value Measurements - Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets held and used, long-lived assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation methodologies based on the reliability of the inputs, is:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.

Equity Method Based Investments - The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting for investments in companies if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but no control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. The Company’s proportionate share of net income or loss is included in the Company’s consolidated operations as earning or loss from unconsolidated equity basis investments.

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires generally that all equity awards be accounted for at their “fair value.” This fair value is measured on the grant date for stock-settled awards. Fair value is equal to the underlying value of the stock for “full-value” awards such as restricted stock and performance shares, and is estimated using an option-pricing model with traditional inputs for “appreciation” awards such as stock options and stock appreciation rights.

Costs equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. For awards that vest over time, cumulative adjustments in later periods are recorded to the extent actual forfeitures differ from the Company’s initial estimates: previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited. The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded the accompanying consolidated statements of operations based upon the functional classification of the individual grantees.

Subsequent modifications to outstanding awards result in incremental cost if the fair value is increased as a result of the modification. Thus, a value-for-value stock option repricing or exchange of awards in conjunction with an equity restructuring does not result in additional compensation cost.

Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given provisions of enacted laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the asset or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates, estimates the future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning and strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more than likely” criteria.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Loss per Share - The Company computes basic loss per share using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and diluted loss per share, while the diluted loss per share also includes the effects of dilutive instruments using the “treasury method.”

	$	590,680	100.0	%	$	462,727	100.0	%

Total revenue increased by $127,953, or 27.7%, from the three months ended March 31, 2016 to the three months ended March 31, 2017. Within revenue, services and maintenance increased by 17.2% from the three months ended March 31, 2016 to the three months ended March 31, 2017, while equipment sales increased by 48.0%. As a percentage of total revenue, rental, service and maintenance decreased to 60.7% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to 66.1% for the comparable 2016 period, while equipment sales as a percentage of revenue increased to 39.3% from 33.9%, respectively. This increase in equipment sales was primarily attributable to an increase in international reseller activity in areas where the rental market is not as well recognized as the retail sales model.

Rental, service and maintenance revenue increased by $52,675, or 17.2%, from the three months ended March 31, 2016 to the three months ended March 31, 2017. This increase is primarily driven by a greater number of rented units.

Equipment sales increased by $75,278, or 48.0%, from the three months ended March 31, 2016 to the three months ended March 31, 2017. This increase was due to an increase in unit sales to distributors and international customers.

Cost of Revenue

Sales and Marketing increased by $21,515 or 39.1% primarily due to increased travel and trade show related costs. Other expenses decreased by $5,605 or 8.7% from the three months ended March 31, 2016 to the three months ended March 31, 2017. This decrease was primarily due to reductions foreign exchange expenses resulting from a stabilization of the GB pound, offset in part by an increased provision for bad debts.

Research and development expenses increased by $3,570, or 1.9% from the three months ended March 31, 2016 to the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, the Company has sustained substantial losses. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $21,100,699, a shareholders’ deficit of $13,110,567 and a working capital deficit of $9,205,634 as of March 31, 2017, which includes $3,756,154 of mandatory conversion notes.

The cash on hand is insufficient for us to continue our operations through May 2018. While the Company continues to seek investors under the private offerings and other financing alternatives, if the Company is unable to obtain debt or equity financing to meet its cash needs, it may have to severely limit, its business plan by reducing the funds it hopes to expend on its business plan.

We do not yet have a sustained history of financial stability. Historically, our principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of debt and equity securities (including to related parties). These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

There can be no assurance that the plans and actions proposed by management will be successful or that we will generate profitability and positive cash flows in the future. We are exploring a number of options to provide working capital including seeking equity and/or debt financings. We cannot assure you that we will consummate a financing that will enable us to meet our working capital needs. Future efforts to raise additional funds may not be successful or they may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include further implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise capital.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had cash balances of $320,776 and $325,987, respectively.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On November 18, 2016, January 13, 2017, February 13, 2017, March 13, 2017 and March 21, 2017, the Company entered into a series of Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and the Investors agreed to purchase in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”) units (the “Units”) in the aggregate offering amount of $1,250,000, $250,000, $200,000, $50,000 and $125,000, respectively. Each Unit, in the minimum subscription amount of $25,000 is comprised of a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Each Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is due on the earlier of: (i) November 18, 2018; (ii) the date the Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or NYSE MKT (the “Listing”); or (iii) a “Change of Control” of the Company which is defined as a liquidation, dissolution, winding up, change in voting control or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Each Note sold is convertible into shares of Common Stock equal to the outstanding principal amount under the Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the lowest of: (i) the trading price on the date of the Listing; (ii) the price per share paid by investors in a subsequent underwritten public offering in connection with the Listing; (iii) the lowest price paid by investors in a subsequent offering of the Company’s securities; (iv) the per share price in a Change of Control transaction; or (v) $2.75 per share. Prior to maturity, an Investor may elect, at its option and in its sole discretion, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount under the Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, into a number of shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $2.75 per share. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes are convertible at an exercise price equal to 120% of the Conversion Price. The Registrant did not engage a placement agent in the offering.

On March 30, 2017, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and the investor agreed to purchase units of up to $550,000 in convertible notes and warrants for 0.2475 shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par common stock for each $1 funded toward the notes, which are purchased subject to a 10% original issue discount. On March 31, 2017, the investor purchased $110,000 in convertible notes, along with 24,750 warrants for $100,000. The notes, which bear interest at 9.5% and mature in seven months from the date of funding. The notes are convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, at a conversion rate of $2.85 per share and include events of default, including failure to pay, failure to convert, bankruptcy, default on other debts, suspension or de-listing of stock, loss of DTC eligible status, failure to reserve adequate shares and failure to satisfy conditions of SEC Rule 144. In the event of default, the notes become immediately due, are subject to a 35% penalty and are eligible for conversion at the rate 65% of the lowest closing price for the trailing 20 days. The warrants, which expire in 5 years, include an exercise price of $4.00 per share, with the ability to re-price if other warrants or convertible securities are issued by the Company at a rate of less than $2.00 per share.

On March 30, 2017, the Company executed an agreement, effective January 11, 2017, for shareholder awareness services for a three-month period in exchange for: 100,000 shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par common stock; a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share; and $50,000 in cash payments.

The Company relied on the exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The Purchase Agreements and the Agreement contain representations to support the Company’s reasonable belief that the investors had access to information concerning the Company’s operations and financial condition, the investors acquired the securities for their own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof in the absence of an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration, and that the investors are sophisticated within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are “accredited investors” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act). In addition, the sale of securities did not involve a public offering; the Company made no solicitation in connection with the sale other than communications with the investors; the Company obtained representations from the investors regarding their investment intent, experience and sophistication; and the investors either received or had access to adequate information about the Company in order to make an informed investment decision.
