(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Overview

The Company was initially incorporated in 1968 as Golf Rounds.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation.  Effective May 28, 2014, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name from “GolfRounds.com, Inc.” to “Fuse Medical, Inc.” (the “Company”).  Then, also on May 28, 2014, the Company merged with and into Fuse Medical, LLC, with Fuse Medical, LLC surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuse Medical, Inc (“Legacy Fuse”).  The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger with Fuse Medical, Inc. deemed the legal acquirer, and Fuse Medical, LLC deemed the accounting acquirer.  During 2015, Certificates of Termination were filed for Fuse Medical, LLC and its two subsidiaries.

On December 19, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, NC 143 Family Holdings, LP, a family limited partnership controlled by Mark W. Brooks (“NC 143”), and Reeg Medical Industries, Inc., an investment holding company owned and controlled by Christopher C. Reeg (“RMI” and, together with NC 143, the “Investors”), pursuant to which NC 143 acquired 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $400,000 and RMI acquired 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $320,000, effective as of the Closing Date.  As direct offering costs amounted to $64,609, net proceeds from the sale of these shares were $655,391.  The closing of the Purchase Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company whereby the Investors acquired a majority interest in the Company. Effective as of the Closing Date, Mark W. Brooks became the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Christopher C. Reeg became the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Company distributes a broad portfolio of orthopedic implants including internal and external fixation products, upper and lower extremity plating and total joint reconstruction, soft tissue fixation and augmentation for sports medicine procedures, and full spinal implants for trauma, degenerative disc disease and deformity indications (“Orthopedic Implants”). The Company also supports its broad portfolio of Orthopedic Implants with human allografts, substitute bone materials and tendons, as well as regenerative tissues and fluids (“Biologics”). The Company’s principal supplier is CPM Medical Consultants, LLC (“CPM”) a company owned and controlled by the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Company strives to provide cost savings and quality products to its customers, which include hospitals and medical facilities.

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed financial statements included herein reflect all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are ordinary and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s management believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The condensed balance sheet information as of December 31, 2016, was derived from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2017 (“2016 Annual Report”). These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Annual Report.

The results of operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or for any other period.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company had net cash used in operations of $222,510, of which $123,741 represented a net loss. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company’s management to successfully execute its restructuring and rebranding strategies and to achieve a level of profitability. As a result, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s 2016 audited financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s management expects to fund its future business development activities and its working capital needs largely from improved future operations and other traditional financing sources, such as a revolving line of credit facility, term notes, or additional private placements until such time adequate funds are provided by operations. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will be successful, or if the Company’s management will be able to achieve profitable operations. Additional financing, may include restrictions on the Company’s operations in the case of debt, or cause dilution for the Company’s stockholders in the case of equity financing.

The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates in the accompanying condensed financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories, the estimates of fixed assets useful lives, the valuation of property and equipment, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and the fair value calculation of stock-based awards.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company’s computation of Earnings (loss) Per Share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would have occurred if securities or other contracts to issue common shares (e.g., warrants and options) had been exercised or converted into common shares at the beginning of the period, or issuance date, if later, and had shared in the net income (loss) of the Company.  Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.  Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

As of June 30, 2017, and 2016, common stock equivalents included options to purchase 1,304,788 and 609,576 common shares, respectively.  These instruments are not considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is 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.  The Company classifies assets and liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques.  Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

 

F-6

---

FUSE MEDICAL, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017
(Unaudited)

 

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets,

 

Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities, and

 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The recorded value of notes payable approximates their fair value based upon their effective interest rates.

 

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the accompanying condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2016, and for the three-months and six-months then ended, have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2017 condensed financial statements for the three-months and six-months then ended. These include deferred rent and depreciation expense, previously reported as a component of accrued expenses and general, administrative and other expenses, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three-months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 and 2016. The Company maintains its cash in financial institution deposit accounts that at times may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 per financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts from inception through June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, there were deposits of $206,693 and $421,636, respectively, greater than federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are non-interest bearing and are stated at gross invoice amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. Payment trends and receivable amounts outstanding for an extended period beyond contractual terms are examples of these indicators. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off in the period when the Company has exhausted its efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise has evaluated other circumstances that indicate that the Company should abandon such efforts.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.  Inventories consist entirely of finished goods and include Orthopedic Implants and Biologics. The Company reviews the market value of inventories whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories may not be recoverable from the estimated future sales price less cost of disposal and normal gross profit.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized.  The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets are subject to periodic recoverability assessments.  Realization of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, is principally dependent upon achievement of projected future taxable income.

The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  As of June 30, 2017, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions.  The Company's policy is to

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense.  The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the fees are fixed or determinable, (iii) no significant Company obligations remain, and (iv) collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company reports revenues for transactions in which it is the primary obligor on a gross basis and revenues in which it acts as an agent (earning a fixed percentage of the sale) on a net basis, (net of related costs).

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period.  For employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates.  The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment.  For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant in the same manner as employee awards, however, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the pro-rata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time the non-employee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date shall equal the fair value of the stock-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete.  The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases”, which requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash payments.” The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for the public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update may be applied retrospectively or prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management do not believe that this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

(Unaudited)

 

All other ASUs issued and not yet effective for the six-months ended June 30, 2017, and through the date of this report, were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s financial position of results of operations.

Note 3. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consisted of the following at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

 

 

Depreciation expense for the three-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $996 and $3,522, respectively. Depreciation expense for the six-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $2,853 and $7,164, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company disposed of furniture and fixtures with a net book value of $607 for proceeds of $300, resulting in a loss of $307 on disposal of property and equipment.

Note 4. Notes Payable – Related Parties

During July 2016 through October 2016, the Company obtained three short-term loans from the Investors in the aggregate amount of $150,000 in exchange for promissory notes bearing 10% interest per annum, and 18% interest per annum after December 31, 2016, which principal shall be due and payable, upon demand of the payee, at any time after the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2016, or (ii) upon a change in control of the Company. Notwithstanding, on or after January 16, 2017, at the holder’s sole discretion, the holder has the right to convert all or any portion of the then unpaid principal and interest balance into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share. This resulted in a beneficial conversion feature in the aggregate amount of $117,500, which was treated as a discount to each of the promissory notes and amortized over the term of each respective promissory note, maturing on December 31, 2016, the date in which the beneficial conversion feature was fully amortized.

 

During the three-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, interest expense of $6,731 and $1,750, respectively, was recognized on outstanding notes payable – related parties and are reflected within interest expense on the accompanying condensed statements of operations.  During the six-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, interest expense of $13,388 and $3,500, respectively, was recognized on outstanding notes payable – related parties and are reflected within interest expense on the accompanying condensed statements of operations. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, accrued interest payable was $18,485 and $5,096, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

On January 27, 2014, M. Richard Cutler and Cutler Law Group, P.C. (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, 2014-03355, against Legacy Fuse, Alan Meeker, Rusty Shelton, Jonathan Brown, Robert H. Donehew and GolfRounds.com, Inc. (the “Defendants”). On April 21, 2014, the complaint was dismissed for “want of prosecution.” On September 18, 2015, Plaintiffs refiled a complaint in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, Cause No. 2015-55652 and added PH Squared, LLC as an additional Plaintiff, as more fully described in “Legal Matters” included in Note 6 in our 2016 Annual Report, which is herein incorporated by reference. During April 2017, one of the named individuals in the complaint filed for bankruptcy protection. There is currently no trial date set.

The Company’s management continues to believe that the lawsuit is completely without merit and will vigorously contest it and protect our interests.

Accounts Payable

During the six-months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a gain of $43,308 on extinguishment of long-aged outstanding payables owed to a former law firm for $32,052 and liabilities aggregating $11,256 owed to the Company’s beneficial owners for services provided to the Company and is reflected within extinguishment of debt on the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The Company’s management believes if these items were contested, the probable outcome would be favorable primarily due to statute of limitations.

Note 6. Stockholders' Equity

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. 

Explanatory Note 

As used in this report on Form 10-Q, “we”, “us”, “our”, and the “Company” refer to Fuse Medical, Inc. 

Overview

We are an emerging national medical device distributor providing a broad portfolio of orthopedic implants including internal and external fixation products, upper and lower extremity plating and total joint reconstruction, soft tissue fixation and augmentation for sports medicine procedures, full spinal implants for trauma, degenerative disc disease and deformity indications, (“Orthopedic Implants”), and human allografts, substitute bone materials and tendons, as well as regenerative tissues and fluids (“Biologics”) to support orthopedic surgeries and wound care. Our Biologics include:

Medical device companies such as ours typically experience seasonality between the first two quarters compared to the last two quarters of the year. We believe this is in part the result of patient annual healthcare deductibles being met during the last two quarters of the calendar year compared to the first two quarters of the calendar year.

As more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed on March 20, 2017 (the “2016 Annual Report”), during December 2016 the change in control over a majority of our issued and outstanding voting common stock resulted in new executive leadership.

Our new executive leadership has the following strategic objectives:

During the six-months ended June 30, 2017, we have successfully executed the following milestones:

We continue to believe our comprehensive selection of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics products will prove instrumental in our ability to acquire new customers and increase revenues and profitability as demonstrated by our three months-ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 results of operations over the prior year. We expect to offer incentives to key distributors, executive leadership and key employees as we continue to expand our strategic partnerships and network arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., (or “GAAP”), requires our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, income, assets and liabilities, reported in our condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which our management uses judgment, assumptions and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements.

We describe our most significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” of our condensed notes to the financial statements beginning on page F-1 and found elsewhere in this report, and in our 2016 Annual Report. These policies are considered critical because they may result in fluctuations in our reported results from period to period due to the significant judgments, estimates and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters and because the use of different judgments, assumptions or estimates could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the period covered by this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the condensed financial statements included in this report for management’s discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth certain financial information from our condensed statements of operations along with a percentage of net revenue and should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and related notes included in this report. 

 

Three-months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Three-months Ended June 30, 2016

Revenues

For the three-months ended June 30, 2017, revenues were $334,672 compared to $120,643 for the three-months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $214,029, or approximately 177%. The increase in revenues is primarily a result of an approximate 36% increase in case count volume and an approximate 141% increase in average price per case. We gained four new customers, offset, in part, by two customers becoming inactive.

Cost of Revenues

For the three-months ended June 30, 2017, our cost of revenues was $114,992, compared to $20,837 for the three-months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $94,155, or approximately 452%. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily attributable to an approximate 36% increase in revenue case volume and shift to Orthopedic Implants case volume which carry higher average cost.

Gross Profit

For the three-months ended June 30, 2017, we generated a gross profit of $219,680, compared to $99,806 for the three-months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $119,874, or approximately 120%. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was approximately 66% and 83% for the three-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decline in percentage of revenues is approximately 17%

and is primarily a result of our strategy to increase Orthopedic Implant revenue. For the three-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, Orthopedic Implants represented 72% and 6% of revenues, respectively.

General, Administrative and Other Expenses

For the three-months ended June 30, 2017, general, administrative and other operating expenses increased to $219,286 from $182,938 for the three-months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $36,348, or approximately 20%.

The decrease as a percentage of revenues is approximately 86% and is primarily the result of a decrease of approximately 65% for payroll and benefit expense, a decrease of approximately 21% in professional fees, a 17% reduction in other corporate expense, approximately 5% of savings from our exit of sponsorship programs, offset, in part, by an approximate 19% increase in legal and valuation study costs relating to our corporate restructuring and rebranding strategies, and an approximately 3% increase in commission expense.

 

Depreciation Expense

For the three-months ended June 30, 2017, depreciation expense decreased to $996 from $3,522 for the three-months ended June 30, 2016, representing a decrease of $2,526 or approximately 72%. The decrease is primarily related to a reduction in fixed assets.

Interest Expense

For the three-months ended June 30, 2017, interest expense increased to $6,731 from $1,750 for the three-months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $4,981, or approximately 285%.

This increase in profitability as a percentage of revenues was approximately 71% and is primarily a result of a reduction of approximately 86% in general, administrative and other operating expenses and a reduction in depreciation expense of approximately 3%, offset, in part, by approximately a 17% reduction in gross profit and an approximate 1% increase in interest expense.

Six-months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Six-months Ended June 30, 2016

Revenues

For the six-months ended June 30, 2017, revenues were $482,829, compared to $313,586 for the six-months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $169,243, or approximately 54%.

Cost of Revenues

For the six-months ended June 30, 2017, our cost of revenues was $163,302, compared to $102,118 for the six-months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $61,184, or approximately 60%. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily attributable to an approximate 11% increase in revenue case volume and a product mix shift to increased Orthopedic Implants case volume, which carry higher average cost.

Gross Profit

For the six-months ended June 30, 2017, we generated a gross profit of $319,527, compared to $211,468 for the six-months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $108,059, or approximately 51%. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was approximately 66% and 67% for the six-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decline in percentage of revenues is approximately 1% and is primarily a result of our strategy to increase Orthopedic Implants revenue.

General, Administrative and Other Expenses

Extinguishment of Debt

For the six-months ended June 30, 2017 we recorded a $43,308 on extinguishment of debt, primarily related to long-aged outstanding payables owed to a former law firm for $32,052 and liabilities aggregating $11,256 owed to the Company’s beneficial owners for services provided to the Company.

The decrease is primarily due to reduced general, administrative and other costs, and extinguishment of debt, offset by increased interest expense as a percentage to revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A summary of our cash flows is as follows:

 

 

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the six-months ended June 30, 2017 resulted primarily from a net loss of $123,741, a $158,149 increase in accounts receivable, a $25,818 increase in prepaid expenses and other receivables, $40,148 of adjustments in depreciation expense and other non-cash items, net, offset in part, by $49,072 increase in accounts payable, $34,962 increase in accounts payable-related parties, $34,781 increase in accrued expenses, $6,485 reduction in inventories, and $46 increase in deferred rent.

Liquidity

At June 30, 2017, we had working capital of $317,811, including $445,265 in cash and cash equivalents. As of August 7, 2017, we had approximately $460,000 in available cash. Our cash is concentrated in a large financial institution. We believe that our current cash balance, along with anticipated cash generated by operations, an expanded network of independent distributors, and execution of our initiatives will be enough to sustain operations through June 30, 2018.

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared as if we will continue as a going concern. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, we had net cash used in operations of $222,510, of which $123,741 represented a net loss. In view of these matters, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully continue executing our restructuring and rebranding strategies and to achieve a level of profitability. We expect to fund our future business development activities and our working capital needs largely from improved future operations and other traditional financing sources, such as a revolving line of credit facility, term notes, or additional private placements until such time that funds are provided by operations. Our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our 2016 audited financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that our financing efforts will be successful, or if our management will be able to achieve profitable operations. Additional financing, may include undue restrictions on our operations in the case of debt, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders in the case of equity financing.

The estimated costs of operations while we work to increase our revenues is substantially greater than the amount of funds we have on hand. Our existence is dependent upon our ability to execute our restructuring and rebranding strategies and have accessibility to adequate funding as required. There can be no assurance that our efforts will result in profitable operations or provide resolution of our liquidity challenges. See Risk Factors, Item 1A, in our 2016 Annual Report.

In our 2016 Annual Report, our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis-of-matter paragraph with respect to our financial statements concerning our assumption that we will continue as a going concern.

Capital Expenditures

For the six-months ended June 30, 2017, we had no material capital expenditures. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2017. As we begin to execute on growth strategies, we may invest up to $100,000 in capital expenditures over the next 12 months. These capital expenditures will be allocated across business development initiatives, including investment in inventories and scalable infrastructure.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes forward-looking statements including statements regarding liquidity.

The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.

The results anticipated by any or all of these forward-looking statements might not occur. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include the condition of the capital markets, particularly for smaller companies, willingness of doctors and facilities to purchase the products that we sell and regulatory issues adversely affecting our margins, insurance companies denying reimbursement to facilities who use the products that we sell and/or our ability to sell products. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based upon the evaluation required by Section 13a-13(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of our Board of Directors, have deemed disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2017, significantly improved since December 31, 2016.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over our financial reporting. With the new executive leadership team, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, and the significant required restructuring and rebranding efforts deemed necessary by our Board of Directors, our management was unable to complete their full assessment regarding the establishment and maintenance of adequate internal controls over our financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.  Due to the lack of such analysis, management believes internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of that date. Our Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer have committed to engaging an independent third party consulting firm during the third quarter of 2017 to assist in establishing a sustainable framework and processes to ensure adequate internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

During the six-months ended June 30, 2017, we out-sourced our supply chain management, finance, sales support, and other related functions, including payroll processing, employee benefit administration, and related human capital services to companies owned and controlled by our Chairman of the Board of Directors. We believe these arrangements have significantly improved internal controls over financial reporting and have provided us scalability for anticipated growth and expansion, while driving down fixed costs per transaction.
