NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Trxade Group, Inc. (‘we’, ‘our’, the “Company”) owns 100% of Trxade, Inc.

Trxade, Inc. is a web based market platform that enables trade among healthcare buyers and sellers of pharmaceuticals, accessories and services.

In December 2016, the Company sold Westminster Pharmaceutical LLC. Westminster provided US state licensed pharmacies and other buying groups with FDA approved pharmaceuticals. The Westminster Pharmaceuticals LLC division, which was sold in December 2016, is included in the consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and is fully described in Note 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.”

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Trxade Group, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10K.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K have been omitted.

Income (loss) Per Common Share – Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed similar to basic net loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The dilutive effect of the Company’s options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method while the dilutive effect of our convertible notes is computed using the if-converted method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, diluted net loss per share is equivalent to basic net loss per share as the inclusion of any shares committed to be issued would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted Income per Share:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – The Company has implemented all new relevant accounting pronouncements that are in effect through the date of these financial statements. The pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital and generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary funds when needed to finance its ongoing costs.

The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, costs to complete platform improvements, if warranted, and competition and market conditions. The Company’s recurring operating losses and working capital needs will require that it obtain additional capital to operate its business. Given the Company’s limited operating history, lack of sufficient revenues, and its operating losses, there can be no assurance that it will be able to achieve and maintain profitability. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 31, 2016, the Company entered into a contract and consummated the sale of 100% of its equity interests in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Westminster Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Westminster”). The purchase price was the transfer of $1,197,354 of assets, the transfer of $(3,908,296) of liabilities, 1,500,000 warrants issued with a fair market value of $688,143 which was calculated based on Black-Scholes model, cancellation of $1,557,810 intercompany balance due to Trxade Group, Inc. and remaining debt discount of $267,381 being written off. The transaction resulted in a gain of $197,608. The schedule below summarizes the sale arrangement:

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

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”), including the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future results of the Company that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industry in which the Company operates and the beliefs and assumptions of the management of the Company. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Report, and in other reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 and the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.

The following discussion is based upon our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingencies. In the course of operating our business, we routinely make decisions as to the timing of the payment of invoices, the collection of receivables, the shipment of products, the fulfillment of orders, the purchase of supplies, and the building of inventory, among other matters. Each of these decisions has some impact on the financial results for any given period. In making these decisions, we consider various factors including contractual obligations, customer satisfaction, competition, internal and external financial targets and expectations, and financial planning objectives. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales returns, pricing credits, warranty costs, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-term assets, especially goodwill and intangible assets, contract manufacturer exposures for carrying and obsolete material charges, assumptions used in the valuation of stock-based compensation, and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report, and in other reports we file with the SEC, specifically our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. All references to years relate to the calendar year ended December 31 of the particular year.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is provided in addition to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. MD&A is organized as follows:

Overview. Discussion of our business and overall analysis of financial and other highlights affecting us, to provide context for the remainder of MD&A. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources. An analysis of changes in our consolidated balance sheets and cash flows and discussion of our financial condition. 

Results of Operations. An analysis of our financial results comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.  

Critical Accounting Policies. Accounting estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results and forecasts. 

Company Overview

We have designed and developed, and now own and operate business-to-business web based marketplace focused on the US pharmaceutical industry. Our core service brings the nation’s independent pharmacies and accredited national suppliers of pharmaceuticals together to provide efficient and transparent buying and selling opportunities.

12

We began operations under Trxade Nevada in August of 2010 and spent over two years creating and enhancing our web-based services. Our services provide enhanced pricing transparency, purchasing capabilities and other value-added services on a single platform to focus on serving the nation’s approximately 24,000 independent pharmacies with an annual purchasing power of $96 billion. Our national supplier partners are able to fulfill orders on our platform immediately and provide the pharmacy with cost saving payment terms and next day delivery capabilities in unrestrictive states under the Model State Pharmacy Act and Model Rules of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (Model Act). Important additions to this platform further include the generation of pharmacy to pharmacy trading capabilities to help independents with their overstocked inventories in a more organized manner. We have expanded rapidly and now have over 8,000 registered pharmacy members purchasing on our platform.

In 2015 and 2016, the Company, through Westminster Pharmaceuticals, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary and distribution division, launched a private label pharmaceutical product program, and entered various supply contracts with pharmaceutical manufactures to supply Westminster with generic pharmaceutical products on a private label basis to sell to our customers. In connection with this expansion, Westminster received significant funding in late 2015 and early 2016. Even though the distribution business performed well, the private label business caused Westminster to not be profitable and in December 2016 the Company sold this division. The Company is currently looking for opportunities to re-enter the distribution business.

Company Organization

Trxade Group, Inc. (“Company”) owns 100% of Trxade, Inc.   Trxade, Inc. is a web based market platform that enables trade among healthcare buyers and sellers of pharmaceuticals, accessories and services.

Inactive or discontinued segments:

Westminster Pharmaceutical LLC, provided US state licensed pharmacies and other buying groups with FDA approved pharmaceuticals under a private label program. This division was sold in December 2016. 

In 2016, the Company formed ShopRX, Ltd. the Company’s UK based subsidiary. The Company had hoped to establish a similar business to Trxade, Inc. in the United Kingdom in the future under this entity. This division was shut down in December 2016 and has no material impact on the Company’s operation results. 

INTEGRA PHARMA SOLUTIONS, LLC, (formerly Pinnacle Tek, Inc.) was the Company’s wholly-owned technology consulting division. This division is no longer active and has no material impact on the Company’s operation results. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents were $173,330 at September 30, 2017. We expect that our future available capital resources will consist primarily of cash generated from operations, remaining cash balances, borrowings, and any additional funds raised through sales of debt and/or equity.

Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents, current assets, current liabilities, short term debt and working capital at the end of each quarterly period were as follows:

As of September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $173,330 and other current assets of $358,269.  The increase in our cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to a $250,000 issuance of Common Stock and warrants for cash in January 2017 and cash generated from operating activities.

13

The current liabilities decrease is due to payment of class action settlement of $200,000 and decrease in executive accrued compensation of $141,913. Additional funds will be needed to continue to expand our platform and customer base, and cover general and administrative expense. Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations, equity capital and borrowings under various debt arrangements. Our principal uses of cash have been for operating expenses and payment of short term debt. We anticipate these uses will continue to be our principal uses of cash in the future.

For discussion of our various debt arrangements see NOTES 4 and 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity Outlook

Cash Requirements

Our primary objectives for 2017 are to continue the development of the Trxade Platform and increase our client base and operational revenue. Additional funds will be needed to continue to expand our platform and customer base, and cover general and administrative expense and satisfy outstanding debt obligations. We expect to pursue raising capital to fund our operations and provide personnel to expand operations and required working capital. Through these efforts, management believe the Company will be able to obtain the liquidity necessary to fund company operations for the foreseeable future, however there is no assurance that our operations will generate significant positive cash flow, or that additional funds will be available to us, through borrowings or otherwise, on favorable terms when required, or at all. 

We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months to be approximately as follows:

(1)Includes wages and payroll, legal and accounting, marketing, rent and web development. 

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through debt and equity capital raises and operational revenue. We expect to continue to seek additional outside funding in the future although no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain financing on reasonable terms or revenues will continue. If we obtain additional financing by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. We may be unable to maintain operations at a level sufficient for investors to obtain a return on their investments in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.

We will need significantly more cash to implement our plan to operate a business-to-business web based marketplace focused on the US pharmaceutical industry. Our core service is designed to bring the nation’s independent pharmacies and accredited national suppliers of pharmaceuticals together to provide efficient and transparent buying and selling opportunities.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $158,651. This is an increase of $148,301 from same period in 2016 and was due to increased customers and revenue.  Financing activities in 2017 include $250,250 raised in common stock and exercise of warrants.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments 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 amount of net sales and expenses for each period. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

In general, the Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”.

Trxade, Inc. generates net fee income as a percentage of the total transactions between the buyer (independent pharmacies) and the seller (wholesaler) of pharmaceutical drugs on the Trxade web-based platform. Revenue is recognized when four items are met: (1) the price is fixed and determined as the buyer orders the drugs from the wholesaler; (2) The wholesaler has signed a contract with Trxade, Inc. which recognizes that an arrangement exists; (3) The wholesaler delivers the drugs purchased to the buyer, products are delivered; (4) The collectability is reasonably assured by the wholesaler through prior credit checks and payment experience.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to non-employees in accordance with the provision of ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“ASC 505”) which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying instruments vest.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
