CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.            DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Overview
 
QuantRx Biomedical Corporation was incorporated on December 5, 1986, in the State of Nevada. Our principal business office is located at 10190 SW 90th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97123. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “us” mean QuantRx Biomedical Corporation, a Nevada corporation.
 
We have developed and intend to commercialize our innovative PAD based products for the over-the-counter markets for the treatment of hemorrhoids, minor vaginal infection, urinary incontinence, general catamenial uses and other medical needs. We are developing and intend to commercialize genomic diagnostics for the laboratory market, based on our patented PadKit® technology.  Our platforms include: inSync®, Unique™, PadKit®, and OEM branded over-the-counter and laboratory testing products based on our core intellectual property related to our PAD technology.
 
The continuation of our operations remain contingent on the receipt of financing required to execute our business and operating plan, which is currently focused on the commercialization of our PAD technology either directly or through a joint venture, or other relationship intended to increase shareholder value.  In the interim, we have nominal operations, focused principally on maintaining our intellectual property portfolio and continuing to comply with the public company reporting requirements. No assurances can be given that we will obtain financing, or otherwise successfully develop a business and operating plan or enter into an alternative relationship to commercialize our PAD technology.
 
Our diagnostic testing business, operating under our subsidiary QX Labs, Inc. (“QX”) (the “Diagnostic Business”) is based principally on the Company’s proprietary PadKit® technology, which we believe provides a patented platform technology for genomic diagnostics, including fetal genomics. Outside of the Diagnostic Business, our business line consists of our over-the-counter business, including the InSync feminine hygienic interlabial pad, the Unique® Miniform for hemorrhoid application, and other treated miniforms (the “OTC Business”), as well as established and continuing licensing relationships related to the OTC Business. Management believes this corporate structure permits the Company to more efficiently explore options to maximize the value of the Diagnostics Business and the OTC Business (collectively, the “Businesses”), with the objective of maximizing the value of the Businesses for the benefit of the Company and its stakeholders.
 
Our current focus is to obtain additional working capital necessary to continue as a going concern, and develop a longer term financing and operating plan to: (i) leverage our broad-based intellectual property and patent portfolio to develop new and innovative diagnostic products; (ii) commercialize our OTC Business and Diagnostics Business either directly or through joint ventures, mergers or similar transactions intended to capitalize on commercial opportunities presented by each of the Businesses; (iii) contract manufacturing to third parties while maintaining control over the manufacturing process; and (iv) maximize the value of our investments in non-core assets.  However, as a result of our current financial condition, our efforts in the short-term will be focused on obtaining financing necessary to continue as a going concern.
 
We follow the accounting guidance outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification guidelines. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles for interim financial information and with the items under Regulation S-X required by the instructions to Form 10-Q.  They may not include all information and footnotes required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements.  However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2017.  The interim unaudited financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, which unless otherwise disclosed herein, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. 
 
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported losses, total assets or stockholders equity.
  
Recent Developments
 
On February 27, 2017, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with an unrelated third party regarding the sale of certain assets of QX Labs, including the intellectual property, trade-secrets and diagnostic applications related to the Company’s PadKit technology and the lateral flow diagnostics technology. Under the MOU, the Company retains all rights and assets necessary to pursue marketing the over the counter miniform products for female hygiene and hemorrhoid treatment. If the transaction outlined in the MOU is completed, the Company would receive a $1.0 million cash payment at closing, a 15% percent ownership interest in the acquiring company and future cash payments ranging from 1.5%-2% of gross revenue generated from the Padkit and lateral flow technologies.   The MOU is subject to numerous contingencies and conditions, and there is no assurance that a transaction will be completed.
 
The Company has issued two convertible promissory demand notes in connection with the MOU in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000 (the "MOU Notes"). The MOU Notes mature on September 30, 2017, accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and are convertible, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock") equal to the outstanding balance, divided by $0.10.
 
 
 
 
2.            MANAGEMENT STATEMENT REGARDING GOING CONCERN
 
The Company currently is not generating revenue from operations, and does not anticipate generating meaningful revenue from operations or otherwise in the short-term.  The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through issuances of equity and the proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes.  In the past, the Company also provided for its cash needs by issuing Common Stock, options and warrants for certain operating costs, including consulting and professional fees, as well as divesting its minority equity interests and equity-linked investments.
 
The Company’s history of operating losses, limited cash resources and the absence of an operating plan necessary to capitalize on the Company’s assets raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern absent a strengthening of our cash position.  Management is currently pursuing various funding options, including seeking debt or equity financing, licensing opportunities and the sale of certain investment holdings, as well as a strategic, merger or other transaction to obtain additional funding to continue the development of, and to successfully commercialize, its products.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts.  Should the Company be unable to obtain adequate financing or generate sufficient revenue in the future, the Company’s business, result of operations, liquidity and financial condition would be materially and adversely harmed, and the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
There can be no assurance that, assuming the Company is able to strengthen its cash position, it will achieve sufficient revenue or profitable operations to continue as a going concern.
 
3.            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
  
Accounting for Share-Based Payments.  The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718, which establishes the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges equity securities for services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model in determining fair value. Accordingly, compensation cost has been recognized using the fair value method and expected term accrual requirements as prescribed.  During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no stock compensation expense.
 
The Company accounts for share-based payments granted to non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The Company determines the fair value of the stock-based payment as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. 
 
In the case of modifications, the Black-Scholes model is used to value modified warrants on the modification date by applying the revised assumptions. The difference between the fair value of the warrants prior to the modification and after the modification determines the incremental value. The Company has modified warrants in connection with the issuance of certain notes and note extensions. These modified warrants were originally issued in connection with previous private placement investments. In the case of debt issuances, the warrants were accounted for as original issuance discount based on their relative fair values. When modified in connection with a note issuance, the Company recognizes the incremental value as a part of the debt discount calculation, using its relative fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” When modified in connection with note extensions, the Company recognized the incremental value as prepaid interest, which is expensed over the term of the extension.
 
The fair value of each share based payment is estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions, which are determined at the beginning of each year and utilized in all calculations for that year. During the three month ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not make any Black-Sholes model assumptions, as no share-based payments were made during those periods.
 
Risk-Free Interest Rate. The interest rate used is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security as of the beginning of the year.
 
Expected Volatility. The Company calculates the expected volatility based on historical volatility of monthly stock prices over a three-year period.
 
Dividend Yield. The Company has never paid cash dividends, and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and thus has assumed a 0% dividend yield.
 
Expected Term. For options, the Company has no history of employee exercise patterns. Therefore, the Company uses the option term as the expected term. For warrants, the Company uses the actual term of the warrant.
 
 
 
 
Pre-Vesting Forfeitures. Estimates of pre-vesting option forfeitures are based on Company experience. The Company will adjust its estimate of forfeitures over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.
 
Earnings per Share.  The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with ASC Topic 260. Net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and the dilutive effect of common share equivalents, such as options and warrants to purchase Common Stock, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes, if applicable, that are outstanding each year. Basic and diluted earnings per share were the same at the reporting dates of the accompanying financial statements, as including Common Stock equivalents in the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have been antidilutive.
  
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding options exercisable for 2,352,000 shares of its Common Stock, and preferred shares convertible into 16,676,972 shares of its Common Stock, which options and preferred shares were deemed to be antidilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
 
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding options exercisable for 2,452,000 shares of its Common Stock, and preferred shares convertible into 16,676,972 shares of its Common Stock, which options and preferred shares were deemed to be antidilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
 
Fair Value.  The Company has adopted ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities.  The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its assets or liabilities.
 
Use of Estimates.  The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include certain estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
 
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements in the current period and identified no pronouncements that would have an impact on our financial statements.  
  
4.            INVESTMENTS
 
In May 2006, the Company purchased 144,024 shares of common stock of for $200,000. After the investment, QuantRx owned approximately 5% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of GMS Biotech, formerly Genomics USA, Inc. (“GUSA”). As of the end of December 31, 2016, the Company’s position had been diluted to approximately 2% of the issued and outstanding common stock of GUSA.  The investment is recorded at historical cost and is assessed at least annually for impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company has recorded a loss of $30,051 as an impairment on the value of its common stock investment in GUSA. The Company has valued the impairment based on the dilution of the Company’s investment and certain other factors.   
 
On September 3, 2015, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Global LOI”) with Global Cancer Diagnostics, Inc., a privately held laboratory in Tempe, Arizona (“Global”), for a proposed business combination. The Global LOI had an original termination date of October 31, 2015 (the “Termination Date”), but could be terminated or extended anytime by the mutual written consent of the parties. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the executed Global LOI, the Company deemed the Global LOI terminated. Accordingly, Global is obligated to issue to us a number of shares of Global’s common stock equal to 10% of its then outstanding shares of common stock, on a fully-diluted basis, as payment of the Global Advance. In addition to the share issuance, the Company is evaluating certain additional remedies related to the Global LOI and the $50,000 advance. The Company has deemed the $50,000 Global Advance to be fully impaired as of September 30, 2016.

12.            SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Subsequent to March 31, 2017, the Company issued a MOU Note in the principal amount of $25,000 in connection with the MOU described in Note 1, under the heading “Recent Developments.”
 
We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing in accordance with the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB ASC 855, and have determined that, except as disclosed herein, no subsequent events occurred that are reasonably likely to impact these financial statements.
 
 
ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion of our financial condition should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included elsewhere in this filing.  The following discussion (as well as statements in Item 1 above and elsewhere) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties.  Some or all of the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements may not occur. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, trends in the biotechnology, healthcare, and pharmaceutical sectors of the economy; competitive pressures and technological developments from domestic and foreign genetic research and development organizations which may affect the nature and potential viability of our business strategy; and private or public sector demand for products and services similar to what we plan to commercialize.  We disclaim any intention or obligation to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.
 
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “we,” “our,” “ours,” “us,” the “Company” or similar terms refer to QuantRx Biomedical Corporation, a Nevada corporation.
 
Overview
 
We have developed and are working towards commercializing our patented miniform pads (“PADs”) and PAD based over-the-counter products for the treatment of hemorrhoids, minor vaginal infection, urinary incontinence, general catamenial uses and other medical needs. We are also developing and intend to commercialize genomic diagnostics for the laboratory market, based on our patented PadKit® technology.  Our platforms include: inSync®, Unique®, PadKit®, and OEM branded over-the-counter and laboratory testing products based on the Company’s core intellectual property related to its PAD technology.
 
The continuation of our operations remain contingent on the receipt of financing required to execute our business and operating plan, which is currently focused on the commercialization of our PAD technology either directly or through a joint venture, or other relationship intended to increase shareholder value.  In the interim, we have nominal operations, focused principally on maintaining our intellectual property portfolio and continuing to comply with the public company reporting requirements. No assurances can be given that we will obtain financing, or otherwise successfully develop a business and operating plan or enter into an alternative relationship to commercialize our PAD technology.
 
Our diagnostic testing business, operating under our subsidiary QX Labs, Inc. (“QX”) (the “Diagnostic Business”) is based principally on the Company’s proprietary PadKit® technology, which we believe provides a patented platform technology for genomic diagnostics, including fetal genomics. Outside of the Diagnostic Business, our business line consists of our over-the-counter business, including the InSync feminine hygienic interlabial pad, the Unique® Miniform for hemorrhoid application, and other treated miniforms (the “OTC Business”), as well as established and continuing licensing relationships related to the OTC Business. Management believes this corporate structure permits the Company to more efficiently explore options to maximize the value of the Diagnostics Business and the OTC Business (collectively, the “Businesses”), with the objective of maximizing the value of the Businesses for the benefit of the Company and its stakeholders.

Our current focus is to obtain additional working capital necessary to continue as a going concern, and develop a longer term financing and operating plan to: (i) leverage our broad-based intellectual property and patent portfolio to develop new and innovative diagnostic products; (ii) commercialize our OTC Business and Diagnostics Business either directly or through joint ventures, mergers or similar transactions intended to capitalize on commercial opportunities presented by each of the Businesses; (iii) contract manufacturing to third parties while maintaining control over the manufacturing process; and (iv) maximize the value of our investments in non-core assets.  However, as a result of our current financial condition, our efforts in the short-term will be focused on obtaining financing necessary to continue as a going concern.
 
The following discussion of our financial condition should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on April 17, 2017.
 
Recent Developments
 
On February 27, 2017, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with an unrelated third party regarding the sale of certain assets of QX Labs, including the intellectual property, trade-secrets and diagnostic applications related to the Company’s PadKit technology and the lateral flow diagnostics technology. Under the MOU, the Company retains all rights and assets necessary to pursue marketing the over the counter miniform products for female hygiene and hemorrhoid treatment. If the transaction outlined in the MOU is completed, the Company would receive a $1.0 million cash payment at closing, a 15% percent ownership interest in the acquiring company and future cash payments ranging from 1.5%-2% of gross revenue generated from the Padkit and lateral flow technologies.  In May 2017, the Company received a payment of $25,000 in connection with the MOU. The MOU is subject to numerous contingencies and conditions, and there is no assurance that a transaction will be completed.
 
As disclosed in Note 1 to the Financial Statements contained earlier in this report, the Company has issued two convertible promissory demand notes in connection with the MOU in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000. The MOU Notes mature on September 30, 2017, accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and are convertible, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to the outstanding balance, divided by $0.10.

Consolidated Results of Operations
 
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
 
The Company did not generate any revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The absence of revenue is due to no royalty revenue attributable to the Company’s PAD technology received during the periods.  Management does not anticipate that the Company will generate any revenue until such time as the Company develops a plan to commercialize its products, which is contingent on the receipt of financing.
 
Sales, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $22,372 and $18,236, respectively.  The increase in sales, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is principally attributable to higher costs for maintaining our intellectual property portfolio in the 2017 period, as compared to the 2016 period.
 
Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $13,242 and $5,993, respectively.  Professional fees include the costs of legal, consulting and auditing services provided to us.  The increase in professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is directly related to higher overall costs for professional services, higher costs of legal, and accounting services during the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016. 
 
The Company did not incur any research and development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Company did not engage in any research and development efforts in the 2017 period, nor does the Company expect to engage in any research and development activity and until funding is secured and we develop a plan to commercialize its products.
 
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $56,163 and $46,575, respectively.  The increase in interest expense in the 2017 period compared to the 2016 period is related to a higher balance of outstanding notes payable and higher interest rate calculated using the default interest rate during the 2017 period.
   
The Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $92,671 compared to net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $73,220.  The increase in net losses in the three month period ending March 31, 2017 compared to the comparable periods in 2016 is due to higher expenses, including higher professional fees and sales, general and administrative expense, as discussed above.
 
The Company expects net loss to continue to decrease in future periods due to the current suspension of our active operations and our lack of revenue. We do not expect to recommence active operations until we are able to secure financing necessary to execute our business and operating plan, including the development and launch of its products, or to otherwise capitalize on our PAD technology.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At March 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $35,263, as compared to $691 at December 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company used $39,225 for operating activities, compared to $25,363 used during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had $73,797 provided by financing activities, as compared to $0 provided by during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The overall increase in cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is primarily attributable to shareholder loans received during the period.
 
The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from operations to meet its operating expenses. The Company requires additional funding to complete the development and launch of its products, or to otherwise capitalize on its PAD technology. The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through issuances of equity and the proceeds of debt instruments. In the past, the Company has also provided for its cash needs by issuing Common Stock, options and warrants for certain operating costs, including consulting and professional fees. 
 
Management believes that given the current economic environment and the continuing need to strengthen our cash position, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are pursuing various funding options, including licensing opportunities and the sale of investment holdings, as well other financing transactions, to obtain additional funding to continue the development of our products and bring them to commercial markets. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts. Should we be unable to raise adequate financing or generate sufficient revenue in the future, the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition would be materially and adversely harmed.
 
The Company believes that the ability of the Company to recommence operations, and therefore continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to do any or all of the following: 
 
obtain adequate sources of funding to pay operating expenses and fund long-term business operations;
enter into a licensing or other relationship that allows the Company to commercialize its products;
manage or control working capital requirements by reducing operating expenses; and
develop new and enhance existing relationships with product distributors and other points of distribution for the Company’s products.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its short- or long-term plans as set forth above, or that such plans, if consummated, will enable the Company to obtain profitable operations or continue in the long-term as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.
  
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a fee is based upon a variable such as acceptance by the customer, the Company accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company defers revenue and recognizes it when it becomes due and payable. Up-front engagement fees are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, although the fee is due and payable at the time the agreement is signed or upon annual renewal. Payments related to substantive, performance-based milestones in an agreement are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the milestones as specified in the underlying agreement when they represent the culmination of the earnings process.
  
The Company assesses the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the current financial condition of the customer. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the time collection becomes reasonably assured. Significant management judgment and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
 
The Company recognizes revenue from nonrefundable minimum royalty agreements from distributors or resellers upon delivery of product to the distributor or reseller, provided no significant obligations remain outstanding, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection is probable. Once minimum royalties have been received, additional royalties are recognized as revenue when earned based on the distributor’s contractual reporting obligations. The Company is able to recognize minimum royalty payments on an accrual basis, as they are specified in the contract. However, since the Company cannot forecast product sales by licensees, royalty payments that are based on product sales by the licensees are not determinable until the licensee has completed their computation of the royalties due and/or remitted their cash payment to us. Should information on licensee product sales become available so as to enable the Company to recognize royalty revenue on an accrual basis, materially different revenues and results of operations could occur.
 
Reclassifications
 
Prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on net loss or earnings per share.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting policies discussed below are considered by management to be the most important to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments due to the inherent uncertainty associated with these matters. All significant estimates and assumptions are developed based on the best information available to us at the time made and are regularly reviewed and adjusted when necessary. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions. Additional information on significant accounting principles is provided in Note 3 of the attached financial statements.
 
Impairment of Assets
 
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, including our other intangible assets, at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The determination of related estimated useful lives and whether or not these assets are impaired involves significant judgments, related primarily to the future profitability and/or future value of the assets. Changes in our strategic plan and/or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and could require adjustments to recorded asset balances. We hold investments in companies having operations or technologies in areas which are within or adjacent to our strategic focus when acquired, all of which are privately held and whose values are difficult to determine. We record an investment impairment charge if we believe an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary. Future changes in our strategic direction, adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.
 
In determining fair value of assets, the Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual fair value may differ from management estimates resulting in potential impairments causing material changes to certain assets and results of operations.

Share-Based Payments
 
We grant options to purchase our Common Stock to our employees and directors under our stock option plan. We estimate the value of stock option awards on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model (Black-Scholes model). The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, and risk-free interest rate. If factors change and we employ different assumptions in future periods, the compensation expense that we record may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.
 
 We determine the fair value of the share-based compensation awards granted to non-employees as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.
 
Estimates of share-based compensation expenses are significant to our financial statements, but these expenses are based on option valuation models and will never result in the payment of cash by us.
 
The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In most cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
Deferred Taxes
 
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, which requires management to perform estimates of future transactions and their respective valuations. We review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, a valuation allowance has been established. The likelihood of a material change in the valuation allowance depends on our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. In the future, if management determines that the likelihood exists to utilize the Company’s deferred tax assets, a reduction of the valuation allowance could materially increase the Company’s net deferred tax asset.
 
ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
(a)  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2017. Based on this evaluation, and in light of the previously disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as its Principal Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
 
(b)  Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There has been no progress towards remediating our previously disclosed material weakness due to the lack of funding. In addition, as a result of the death of our Chief Scientific Officer, any progress toward remediating our material weaknesses will continue to be delayed.
