Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of ActiveCare, Inc. (the "Company" or "ActiveCare") have been prepared in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and its cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 may not be indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2016.
Going Concern
The Company continues to incur negative cash flows from operating activities and net losses. The Company had minimal cash, negative working capital and negative total equity as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, and is in default with respect to certain debt. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In order for the Company to eliminate substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, it must achieve profitability, generate positive cash flows from operating activities and obtain the necessary debt or equity funding to meet its projected capital investment requirements. Management's plans with respect to this uncertainty consist of raising additional capital by issuing debt or equity securities and increasing the sales of the Company's services and products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or that revenues will increase rapidly enough to achieve operating profits. If the Company is unable to increase revenues or obtain additional financing, it will be unable to continue the development of its products and services and may have to cease operations.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures the fair values of its assets and liabilities using the US GAAP hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on current market pricing models. The carrying amounts reported for notes payable approximate fair values because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates.
2. | Discontinued Operations |
In December 2014, the Company sold substantially all of its customer contracts and equipment leased to customers associated with its CareServices segment. The sale included all segment assets that generated revenue related to the CareServices segment. The Company no longer holds any ownership interest in these assets and has ceased incurring costs related to the operations and development of the CareServices segment. This segment was engaged in the business of developing, distributing and marketing mobile health monitoring and concierge services to distributors and consumers. The debt secured by the CareServices customer contracts was amended in January 2015 and December 2015, and remains an obligation of the Company (see Note 12). There were no material liabilities of discontinued operations.
As a result of the sale of the CareServices assets, the Company has reflected this segment as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015. The following table summarizes certain operating data for discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31:
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |

3. | Net Loss per Common Share |
Basic net loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants and options, shares issuable from restricted stock grants, and shares issuable pursuant to convertible notes and convertible Series D, Series E and Series F preferred stock. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, there were 85,354,425 and 26,482,712 outstanding common share equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The common stock equivalents outstanding consist of the following as of March 31:
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Common stock options and warrants | | | 21,512,901 | | | | 9,567,551 | |
Series D convertible preferred stock | | | 225,000 | | | | 225,000 | |
Series E convertible preferred stock | | | 477,830 | | | | 477,830 | |
Series F convertible preferred stock | | | - | | | | 16,065,328 | |
Convertible debt | | | 63,131,194 | | | | 137,253 | |
Restricted shares of common stock | | | 7,500 | | | | 9,750 | |

Total common stock equivalents | | | 85,354,425 | | | | 26,482,712 | |
4. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing US GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2018. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard sets forth management's responsibility to evaluate, each reporting period, whether there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and if so, to provide related disclosures.

14. | Fair Value Measurements |
The Company measures the fair values of its assets and liabilities using the US GAAP hierarchy levels as follows:
Level 1 | The Company does not have any Level 1 inputs available to measure its assets. |
Level 2 | The Company's embedded derivative liabilities are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. |
Level 3 | The Company's embedded derivative liabilities are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. |
To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis include embedded derivatives related to the Company's warrants and notes payable. During the six months ended March 31, 2016, the Company has not changed the manner in which it values liabilities that are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about each major category of the Company's financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company's embedded derivative liabilities are re-measured to fair value as of each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. See Note 15 for more information about the valuation methods of derivatives and the inputs used for calculating fair value.
The derivatives liability as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, was $8,097,009 and $79,347, respectively. The derivatives liability as of September 30, 2014, was related to a variable conversion price adjustment on the Series F preferred stock. The derivatives liability as of December 31, 2014, was eliminated due to the conversion price on Series F preferred stock being adjusted from $1.00 to $0.3337 based on the number of subscribers as of December 31, 2014. The derivatives liability as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, is related to a variable conversion price adjustment on outstanding notes payable and warrants. A portion of derivatives liability as of December 31, 2015, and all of the derivatives outstanding as of September 30, 2015, were eliminated during February 2016, due to the conversion of notes payable into shares of common stock (see Note 12).
During the six months ended March 31, 2016, the Company estimated the fair value of some of the embedded derivatives upon issuance, at the end of each reporting period and prior to their conversion and elimination using a binomial option-pricing model with the following assumptions, according to the instrument: exercise prices ranging from $0.03 to $0.09 per share; risk free interest rates ranging from 0.16% to 1.06%; expected lives ranging from 0.05 to 2.09 years; expected dividends of 0%; volatility factors ranging from 125.33% to 510.03%; and stock prices ranging from $0.03 to $0.14. During the six months ended March 31, 2016, the Company estimated the fair value of the remaining embedded derivatives upon issuance and at the end of each reporting period using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions: exercise prices ranging from $0.04 to $0.25 per share; risk free interest rates ranging from 0.26% to 1.44%; expected lives ranging from 0.08 to 6.40 years; expected dividends of 0%; volatility factors of 129% to 140%; and stock prices ranging from $0.04 to $0.95.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives prior to their conversion and elimination using a binomial option-pricing model with the following assumptions, according to the instrument: exercise prices ranging from $0.12 to $0.33 per share; risk free interest rates ranging from 0.010% to 0.260%; expected lives ranging from 0.001 to 0.50 years; expected dividends of 0%; volatility factors ranging from 0.01% to 138.68%; and stock prices ranging from $0.12 to $0.33. The expected lives of the instruments were equal to the average term of the conversion option or expected exercise period of the warrants. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company's common stock. The risk-free interest rate represents the US Treasury constant maturities rate for the expected life of the related conversion option. The dividend yield represents anticipated cash dividends to be paid over the expected life of the conversion option. The Company recognized a loss on derivatives liability for the six months ended March 31, 2016, of $2,806,869 and a gain of $106,444 for the same period in 2015.
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.00001 per share. Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has the authority to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, without further stockholder approval, to designate and determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the preferred stock before any issuance of the preferred stock and to create one or more series of preferred stock, fix the number of shares of each such series, and determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of each series of preferred stock, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, and liquidation preferences.

· | 37,113 shares to settle accrued dividends for Series D preferred stock; the value on the date of grant was $1,434. |
18. | Common Stock Options and Warrants |
The fair value of each stock option or warrant is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option-pricing model or the Monte Carlo valuation model. The expected life of stock options or warrants represents the period of time that the stock options or warrants are expected to be outstanding, based on the simplified method. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company's common stock, among other factors. The Company uses the simplified method within the binomial option-pricing valuation model due to the Company's short trading history. The risk-free rate related to the expected term of the stock options or warrants is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield is zero.
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, the Company granted warrants to purchase 12,015,350 shares with an exercise price of $0.065 per share in connection with the acquisition of a note payable and line of credit; warrants for the purchase of 7,392,800 shares vested immediately, 1,847,550 vest upon the disbursement of the second tranche of the related note payable, and 2,775,000 vest evenly in the event of three available increases on the related line of credit (see Note 12). The warrants expire in February 2023, may be settled in a cashless exercise, and are puttable upon expiration or liquidation for the greater of $500,000 or up to 6.5% of the equity value of the Company, depending on the number of warrants vested. The fair value of the warrants upon grant of $3,731,969 has been recorded as a derivative and the Company received cash of $2,967 upon issuance of the warrants. The Company recognized $1,419,541 as debt discount for the portion allocated to the note payable and $1,455,335 as a prepaid expense for the portion allocated to the line of credit, which are being amortized over the life of the note payable and line of credit, respectively.
During February 2016, the Company exchanged warrants held by the holders of its Series F preferred stock for the purchase of 5,534,097 shares of common stock in connection with the redemption of Series F preferred stock for new warrants for the purchase of the same number of shares on different terms. The new warrants are exercisable for $0.30 per share, adjustable to any lower rates granted through equity sales or other conversion rates provided by issuances of other debt, warrants, options or other instruments, with the exception of certain other raises. The new warrants expire in February 2021, and may be settled in a cashless exercise. Additional warrants for the purchase of 8,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued in the event of default on the related notes payable, exercisable at $0.001 per share, with 25% issuable upon the first event of default, 37.5% upon the second event, and 37.5% upon the third event. The warrants issuable upon default expire in February 2026 (if issued), may be settled in a cashless exercise, and are puttable upon expiration or liquidation with the primary warrants. The new warrants may only be exercised to the extent the respective holder would own a maximum of 4.99% of the Company's common stock after exercise, but the holders may elect to increase the maximum to 9.99%. The Company recognized a deemed dividend of $6,484,236 as a result of the exchange and related redemption of Series F preferred stock.
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company measured the fair value of the warrants using a binomial valuation model with the following assumptions:
| | | Six Months Ended |
| | | March 31, |
| | | 2015 |
Exercise price | | | $0.30 - $1.00 |
Expected term (years) | | | 1 |
Volatility | | | 302% |
Risk-free rate | | | 0.22% |
Dividend rate | | | 0% |
During the six months ended March 31, 2016, the Company measured the fair value of warrants classified as liabilities on the date of issuance and on each re-measurement date using the Monte Carlo valuation model. For this liability, the Company and specialist developed their own assumptions that do not have observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value. This method of valuation involves using inputs such as the fair value of the Company's common stock, stock price volatility, the contractual term of the warrants, risk–free interest rates and dividend yields. Due to the nature of these inputs, the valuation of the warrants uses Level 3 measurements. The following assumptions were used:
| | | Six Months Ended |
| | | March 31, |
| | | 2016 |
Exercise price | | | $0.07 - $0.25 |
Expected term (years) | | | 4.39 - 6.40 |
Volatility | | | 134% - 140% |
Risk-free rate | | | 1.11% - 1.44% |
Dividend rate | | | 0% |
Common stock price | | | $0.07 - $0.95 |

In February 2016, the Company amended a consulting agreement dated September 2015, with an entity controlled by a former Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective January 2016. The amendment extended the agreement through December 2016, with monthly automatic renewals, adjusted the monthly compensation of $6,000 to an hourly rate of $250 per hour, and eliminated the previously included bonus structure.
21. | Commitments and Contingencies |
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company leased office space under a non-cancelable operating lease, which was terminated during June 2015. In February 2015, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for part of the office space under the non-cancelable operating lease through the end of the original lease period. Payments under the sublease were made by the sublessee directly to the Company's landlord.
The Company's rent expense for facilities under the terminated operating lease for the six months ended March 31, 2015, was approximately $153,000.
During June 2015, the Company entered into a new non-cancelable operating lease for its existing office space, excluding the previously subleased space, with payments beginning in July 2015. Future minimum rental payments under the non-cancelable operating lease as of March 31, 2016, were as follows:
Years Ending September 30, | | | |
2016 (six months) | | $ | 63,901 | |
2017 | | | 130,036 | |
2018 | | | 111,340 | |
| | | | |
| | $ | 305,277 | |
The Company's rent expense under the new non-cancelable operating lease for six months ended March 31, 2016, was approximately $62,000.
During February 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with one if its vendors to purchase a minimum of $200,000 of inventory per quarter through January 2018.
During February 2016, the Company redeemed all of its Series F preferred stock in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of common stock and $5,900,000 of notes payable (see Note 12). As part of the redemption, the Company exchanged warrants held by the Series F stockholders for the purchase of 5,534,097 shares of common stock for new warrants to purchase the same number of shares with different terms. As part of the redemption, the Company may be required to issue additional warrants for the purchase of up to 8,000,000 shares of common stock upon three events of default on the notes payable (see Note 18).
During February 2016, the Company converted notes payable and accrued interest payable to an entity controlled by a former Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors into a convertible note payable (see Note 12). The Company may be required to issue 734,489 shares of common stock if the note is not paid by maturity.
During February 2016, the Company amended notes payable to an entity controlled by an officer of the Company to subordinate to notes payable also issued during February 2016, reduced the conversion price per share to $0.06 per share and limited the shares into which it is convertible (see Note 12). The Company may be required to issue 4,203,389 shares of common stock if the note is not paid by maturity.
On May 28, 2015, an investor of the Company filed a lawsuit claiming damages of $1,000,000 exclusive of interest and costs against the Company, its Executive Chairman, an entity controlled by its former Executive Chairman, and 4G Biometrics, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for breach of contract. The Company has engaged legal counsel regarding the matter. As the lawsuit is in its early stages, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the matter. The Company intends to vigorously dispute the claims and believes it has meritorious defenses.
On November 4, 2015, the Company received a demand for payment of $275,000 from a former employee of the Company and former principal of 4G Biometrics whose employment was terminated for cause. On December 4, 2015, the Company filed a complaint against the former owners of 4G Biometrics, including this former employee, seeking damages in excess of $300,000 related to alleged misrepresentations made to induce the Company to acquire 4G Biometrics. Between February 4, 2016 and February 8, 2016, the Company settled the complaint with each of the former owners of 4G Biometrics and all parties released each other from all outstanding claims, including any current monetary obligations to each party, excluding one former owner of 4G Biometrics who continues to be employed by the Company. A Stipulation for Order of Dismissal with Prejudice of all Claims and Counterclaims has been filed and is in the process of being approved. The settlement resulted in the termination of $39,863 of related-party accounts payable.
Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the Company entered into the following agreements and transactions:
(1) | During April 2016, the Company borrowed an additional $500,000 under an existing note payable agreement with a third party with interest at 12.75% per annum, maturing in March 2019. The additional amount payable is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets under a security agreement. |
(2) | During April 2016, the Company received a $200,000 cash advance from an entity controlled by an officer of the Company, which was also repaid during April 2016 with $2,600 of fees and interest. |

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to assist in better understanding our operations and our present business environment. This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the accompanying notes thereto, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the accompanying notes thereto, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms "ActiveCare," the "Company," "we," and "our" refer to ActiveCare, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries.
Overview
ActiveCare, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, formed March 5, 1998. Our fiscal year ends on September 30.
In fiscal year 2012, we launched a product line focused on technology for assisting the chronically ill. Our focus is on markets addressing chronic conditions and disease states. Remote patient monitoring ("RPM") is a technology to enable monitoring of patient vital signs and physical functions outside of conventional clinical settings (e.g., in the home, work or travel). Physiological data such as blood sugar levels, blood pressure, pulse rate, and blood oxygen levels are collected by sensors on medical peripheral devices. Examples of these devices include glucometers, blood pressure cuffs, weight scales, and pulse oximeters. The data is stored for future assessment or transmitted to healthcare providers or third parties via wireless telecommunication devices. Disease states targeted by RPM technology providers typically include diabetes, congestive heart failure, sleep apnea, activity monitoring, and diet management. Our primary focus has been on those patients diagnosed with diabetes. We believe that we can improve the lives of the chronically ill through the use of technology, while reducing the cost of care. Central to these efforts is our "CareCenter." This service is designed to monitor and track patients' health conditions and chronic illnesses on a real time basis. As part of these efforts we have staffed this CareCenter with trained specialists to assist the chronically ill in managing their daily lives; 24 hours per day, seven days per week. In order for the CareCenter to service our customers, we have developed and continue to develop products and technologies designed to improve the health of the chronically ill.
With US healthcare costs increasing annually, we believe that cost containment is a primary issue facing the industry. These escalating costs will only intensify as the baby-boom generation ages. We believe the ability to monitor chronic illness in the home will mitigate health care costs for the chronically ill and the elderly. Through the technologies we are developing, we believe we can both enhance lives and provide peace of mind with the knowledge that vital signs are being monitored. At the same time, we believe we can save millions of dollars in the health care sector as we identify problems and issues before they become crises.
We believe that through the technologies we have already developed and are continuing to develop, we can enhance the lives not only of the growing diabetic segment of today's population, but also the lives of other segments of the population with other chronic illnesses.
Going Concern
We have financed operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, long-term debt and short-term debt. Until revenues are sufficient to meet our needs, we will continue to attempt to secure financing through equity or debt securities. We continue to incur negative cash flows from operating activities and net losses. We had minimal cash, negative working capital, and negative total equity as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, and are in default with respect to certain debt. We determined that our goodwill of $825,894 was impaired during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015, and it was expensed. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In order for us to eliminate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, we must achieve profitability, generate positive cash flows from operating activities and obtain the necessary debt or equity funding to meet our projected capital investment requirements. Our management's plans with respect to this uncertainty consist of raising additional capital by issuing debt or equity securities and increasing the sales of our products and services. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or that revenues will increase rapidly enough to offset operating losses. If we are unable to increase revenues or obtain additional financing, we will be unable to continue the development of our products and services and may have to cease operations.
Our Product and Service Strategy
During the six months ended March 31, 2016, our product and service sales consisted solely of chronic illness monitoring. During the six months ended March 31, 2015, our product and service sales fell into two distinctly different categories: chronic illness monitoring; and CareServices, or personal emergency response systems ("PERS"). In December 2014, we sold substantially all of our customer contracts and equipment leased to customers associated with our CareServices segment. The sale of our CareServices contracts allowed us to focus solely on our Chronic Illness Monitoring segment.
Chronic Illness Monitoring
Chronic illness monitoring involves the use of biometric monitoring devices in combination with proprietary data and algorithms to assess the wellbeing of an individual under care. Individual care profiles are created through the aggregation of personal health and medical claims information from multiple data sources. Real-time biometric readings for blood glucose levels, blood pressure, heart rate, weight, tidal volume and other vital readings can be captured over time and added to the existing personal information. This unique data set may now be used for proactive care protocols, care provider alerts to elevated readings, and behavioral intervention prior to crisis events.
Technology to facilitate data-driven chronic illness monitoring consists of three components: (1) biometric monitoring products and supplies, (2) medical and claims data aggregation, and (3) algorithms for the analysis of the data. Biometric monitoring products and supplies are provided by numerous medical hardware providers and deliver a wide range of features and functionality. ActiveCare is agnostic to any specific device requirement, and has as a core competency the ability to integrate and capture data from any 510(k) or HL7 compliant monitoring device. Strategic relationships have been created with technology and market leaders, and evaluation of new and emerging technology partners is ongoing. Medical and claims data is aggregated from multiple sources using a proprietary application programmatic interface and data storage architecture. This data is analyzed to identify individual care needs of those entering the program. Monitoring alerts, predictive informatics and individual care plans are created and managed using the ActiveCare technology platform. Care for chronic conditions may now be performed in real-time, and outcomes may be measured on both a medical and claims cost basis.
CareCenter
The central point of our product offerings is our CareCenter. Our CareCenter is staffed 24x7 with CareCenter specialists who are 911-certified and trained. Our CareCenter specialists and CareCenter provide monitoring related to chronic illness test results, contact testers who have not tested when scheduled, and onboard new users to our services. We focus on our outreach initiatives in respect of engagement programs, which assist end users with the importance of monitoring their health.
In contrast to a typical monitoring center, our CareCenter is equipped to respond to real-time alerts and data to better assist users of our services. In addition, the CareCenter's software will identify the caller, access the individual's medical information, and assist with emergency dispatch. We believe the CareCenter is a cornerstone of our business and will support current technology as well as evolve to support the integration of future technologies.
CareServices
We have developed products that incorporate GPS, cellular capability, and fall detection, all of which are connected to our 24-hour CareCenter with the push of a button. The transmitter can be worn on a neck pendant or belt clip, or carried in a purse, and sends a cellular signal to our CareCenter. When the wearer of the device pushes the button, the staff at the CareCenter evaluate the situation and decide whether to call emergency services or a designated friend or family member.
Research and Development Program
During the six months ended March 31, 2016, we spent approximately $81,000, compared to $72,000 during the same period in 2015, on research and development related to chronic illness monitoring. The research and development program focuses on ongoing improvements to methods and systems along with new technologies for the capture and analysis of data, as well as scalable architectures to migrate to production applications and deployments.
Critical Accounting Policies
The following summary includes accounting policies that we deem to be most critical to our business. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:
· | It requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and |
· | Changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial condition. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We measure the fair values of our assets and liabilities using the US GAAP hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on current market pricing models. The carrying amounts reported for notes payable approximate fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. Specific reserves are estimated by management based on certain assumptions and variables, including the customer's financial condition, age of the customer's receivables and changes in payment histories. Accounts receivable are written off when management determines the likelihood of collection is remote. A receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance has not been received by the contractual payment date.
Inventory
Inventory consists of diabetic supplies and is recorded at the lower of cost or market value, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventory held by distributors is reported as inventory until the supplies are shipped to the end user by the distributor. We estimate an inventory reserve for obsolescence and excessive quantities. Due to competitive pressures and technological innovation, it is possible that estimates of net realizable values could change in the near term.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from two to twenty years. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
Extinguishment of Debt
We compare the cash outflows from a modified note payable on the date of modification to the original terms of the note payable. The original note is derecognized and a gain or loss on the extinguishment is recognized if the present value of the cash outflows of the original note payable is 10% or more different than the modified note payable.
Revenue Recognition
For the six months ended March 31, 2015, revenues came from two sources: (1) sales of Chronic Illness Monitoring products and services; and (2) sales from CareServices. The CareServices segment was sold in December 2014, and all other periods only reflect revenues only from Chronic Illness Monitoring. Information regarding revenue recognition policies relating to the Chronic Illness Monitoring and CareServices business segments is contained in the following paragraphs.
Chronic Illness Monitoring
Chronic Illness Monitoring revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or service to the end user has occurred, prices are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
We enter into agreements with insurance companies, disease management companies, third-party administrators, and self-insured companies (collectively, the customers) to lower medical expenses by distributing diabetic testing products and supplies to employees (end users) covered by their health plans or the health plans they manage. Cash is due from the customer or the end user's health plan as the products and supplies are deployed to the end user. We also monitor the end user's test results in real-time with our 24x7 CareCenter. Customers who are billed separately for monitoring are obligated to pay as the service is performed and revenue is recognized ratably over the period of the contract. The term of these contracts is generally one year and, unless terminated by either party, will automatically renew for another year. Collection terms are net 30 days after claims are submitted. There is no contingent revenue in these contracts.
We also enter into agreements with distributors who take title to products and distribute those products to the end user. Delivery is considered to occur when the supplies are delivered by the distributor to the end user. Cash is due from the distributor, the customer or the end user's health plan as initial products are deployed to the end user. Subsequent sales (resupplies) are shipped directly from us to the end user and cash is due from the customer or the end user's health plan.
Shipping and handling fees are typically not charged to end users. The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to end users are included as a component of cost of revenues. Sales of Chronic Illness Monitoring products and services contain multiple elements.
Multiple-Element Arrangements
We evaluate each element in a multiple-element arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting. In order to account for elements in a multiple-element arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have stand-alone value upon delivery. In determining whether monitoring services have stand-alone value, the nature of our monitoring services, whether we sell supplies to new customers without monitoring services, and availability of monitoring services from the other vendors are factors that are considered.
When multiple elements included in an arrangement are separable into different units of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the identified separate units of accounting based on the relative selling prices. Multiple-element arrangements accounting guidance provides a hierarchy to use when determining the relative selling price for each unit of accounting. Vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of selling price, based on the price at which the item is regularly sold by the vendor on a stand-alone basis, should be used if it exists. If VSOE of selling price is not available, third-party evidence (TPE) of selling price is used to establish the selling price if it exists. If VSOE of selling price and TPE of selling price are not available, then the best estimate of selling price is to be used. Total consideration under our multiple-element contracts is allocated to supplies and monitoring through application of the relative fair value method.
CareServices
CareServices included contracts in which we leased monitoring devices and provided monitoring services to end users. We typically entered into contracts on a month-to-month basis with end users that used CareServices. These contracts could be cancelled by either party at any time with 30-days' notice. Under a standard contract, the device and service became billable on the date the end user ordered the device, and remained billable until the device was returned to the Company. Revenues were recognized at the end of each month the service had been provided. In those circumstances in which payment was received in advance, we recorded deferred revenue.
CareServices revenue was recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, delivery of the device or service had occurred, prices were fixed or determinable, and collection was reasonably assured. Shipping and handling fees were included as part of net revenues. The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to end users were included as a component of cost of revenues. All CareServices sales were made with net 30-day payment terms.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the statement of operations over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – the requisite service period. The grant-date fair values of the equity instruments are estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $1,597,000 compared to $1,552,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $45,000, or 3%. The increase is primarily due to resupply shipments to end users who were newly enrolled during fiscal years 2015 and 2014, and sales to new customers.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $1,262,000, compared to $1,089,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $173,000, or 16%. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily due to increases in revenues and the reserve for inventory obsolescence.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $335,000, compared to $463,000 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $128,000 for the reasons described above. We expect gross profit to improve throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2016 as we acquire more Chronic Illness Monitoring members and retain existing members.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $2,428,000, compared to $2,374,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $54,000. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses is $1,073,000 and $1,252,000 of stock-based compensation incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in expenses incurred is primarily due to an increase in legal and professional fees expense, offset, in part, by decreases in stock-based compensation expense, payroll expense, investor relations expense and rent expense.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $59,000, compared to $27,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $32,000. We expect to continue investing in research and development as we develop new platforms for Chronic Illness Monitoring and as funds become available.
Loss on Derivatives Liability
Loss on derivatives liability for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $2,853,000, compared to no gains or losses for the same period in 2015. The derivatives liability recorded as of March 31, 2016, relates to variable conversion price adjustments on outstanding notes payable and warrants.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $631,000, compared to $273,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $358,000. The increase is primarily due to additional notes payable issued and modifications made to existing notes payable during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, and the six months ended March 31, 2016.
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt
During February 2016, we terminated notes payable to third parties with outstanding principal, net of discounts, of $697,000 and accrued interest of $39,000, for $1,123,000 in cash, and incurred fees in connection with these terminations of $50,000 to third parties and $75,000 to a related party, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $512,000.
During February 2016, we modified notes payable to related parties to subordinate to other notes payable also issued during February 2016. The modifications also reduced the conversion price of the related-party notes to $0.06 per common share, which was below the fair value of the stock on the date of the modifications, and limited conversion to a maximum of 29,250,000 shares of common stock. The modifications resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,032,000. Also during February 2016, we modified a note payable to subordinate it to notes payable also issued during February 2016, and reduced the conversion price of the modified note to $0.06 per common share, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $381,000.
During February 2016, we modified a note payable to related parties to bifurcate the note into two notes payable. We assigned the majority bifurcated note and part of the smaller bifurcated note to a third party, which then converted the amounts into a convertible note payable. The fair value of the conversion feature was recorded as a derivative liability and resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $182,000.
During February 2016, notes payable with outstanding principal balances totaling $350,000 plus accrued interest of $16,000 were converted into 9,287,985 shares of common stock, at $0.04 per common share, which was below the fair value of the stock on the date of conversion. The conversion resulted in a loss on induced conversion of debt of $148,000 and a gain on extinguishment of debt of $64,000.
During January 2015, we modified a note payable to reduce the outstanding principal, net of discount, of $1,095,000 and accrued interest of $49,000 to $375,000, which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $769,000.
Loss on induced conversions of debt
During February 2016, we converted notes payable with outstanding principal balances totaling $233,333 into 5,800,000 shares of common stock, at $0.04 per common share, which was below the fair value of the Company's stock on the date of conversion. This resulted in a loss on induced conversion of debt of $231,000.
During February 2016, we converted notes payable with outstanding principal balances totaling $350,000 plus accrued interest of $16,000 into 9,287,985 shares of common stock, at $0.04 per common share, which was below the fair value of the stock on the date of conversion. The conversion resulted in a loss on induced conversion of debt of $148,000 and a gain on termination of debt of $64,000.
Discontinued Operations
During December 2014, we sold substantially all of our customer contracts and equipment leased to customers associated with our CareServices segment. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $100.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $8,772,000, compared to $1,229,000 for the same period in 2015, for the reasons described above.
Deemed Dividend on Preferred Stock
During February 2016, we redeemed all 5,361 outstanding shares of our Series F Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series F preferred stock") and related accrued dividends in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of common stock and notes payable of $5,900,000. We also exchanged warrants held by Series F preferred stockholders for the purchase 5,534,097 shares of common stock for new warrants for the purchase of the same number of shares with new terms. We recorded a deemed dividend of $6,484,000 as a result of these transactions.
Dividends on Preferred Stock
Dividends on preferred stock for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $250,000, compared to $195,000 for the same period in 2015. The increase in dividends is due to an increase in the dividend rate of the Series F preferred stock from 8% to 25%, as provided by the certificate of designation of the Series F preferred stock.
Results of Operations
Six Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015
Revenues
Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2016, were $3,685,000 compared to $3,060,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $625,000, or 20%. The increase is primarily due to resupply shipments to end users who were newly enrolled during fiscal years 2015 and 2014, and sales to new customers.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2016, was $2,855,000, compared to $2,292,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $563,000, or 25%. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily due to an increase in revenue and the cost of warranty liabilities, offset, in part, by a reduction in the reserve for inventory obsolescence during the six months ended March 31, 2016.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2016, was $829,000, compared to $768,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $61,000 for the reasons described above. We expect gross profit to improve throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2016 as we acquire more Chronic Illness Monitoring members and retain existing members.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2016, were $4,774,000, compared to $4,725,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $49,000. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses is $2,253,000 and $2,422,000 of stock-based compensation incurred during the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in expenses incurred is primarily due to an increase in legal and professional fees expense, offset, in part, by decreases in stock-based compensation expense, payroll expense, investor relations expense and rent expense.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2016, were $81,000, compared to $72,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $9,000. We expect to continue investing in research and development as we develop new platforms for Chronic Illness Monitoring and as funds become available.
Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Liability
Loss on derivatives liability for the six months ended March 31, 2016, was $2,807,000, compared to a gain of $106,000 for the same period in 2015. The derivatives liability recorded as of March 31, 2016, relates to variable conversion price adjustments on outstanding notes payable and warrants. The gain on derivatives liability recorded during the six months ended March 31, 2015, relates to a variable conversion feature for the Series F preferred stock associated with a milestone adjustment that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014. This adjustment eliminated the variable conversion feature of Series F preferred stock.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2016, was $1,122,000, compared to $624,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $498,000. The increase is primarily due to additional notes payable issued and modifications made to existing notes payable during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, and the six months ended March 31, 2016.
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt
During February 2016, we terminated notes payable to third parties with outstanding principal, net of discounts, of $697,000 and accrued interest of $39,000, for $1,123,000 in cash, and incurred fees of $50,000 to third parties and $75,000 to a related party, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $512,000 in connection with these terminations.
During February 2016, we modified notes payable to related parties to subordinate to notes payable also issued during February 2016. The modifications also reduced the conversion price to $0.06 per common share, which was below the fair value of the stock on the date of the modifications, and limited conversion to a maximum of 29,250,000 shares of common stock, which was below the fair value of the stock on the date of the modifications. The modifications resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,032,000. Also during February 2016, we modified a note payable to subordinate to notes payable also issued during February 2016, reducing the conversion price to $0.06 per common share, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $381,000.
During February 2016, we modified a note payable to related parties to bifurcate the note into two notes payable. We assigned the majority bifurcated note and part of the smaller bifurcated note to a third party, which then converted the amounts into a convertible note payable. The fair value of the conversion feature was recorded as a derivative liability and resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $182,000.
During February 2016, notes payable with outstanding principal balances totaling $350,000 plus accrued interest of $16,000 were converted into 9,287,985 shares of common stock, at $0.04 per common share, which was below the fair value of the stock on the date of conversion. The conversion resulted in a loss on induced conversion of debt of $148,000 and a gain on extinguishment of debt of $64,000.
During January 2015, we modified a note payable to reduce the outstanding principal, net of discount, of $1,095,000 and accrued interest of $49,000 to $375,000, which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $769,000.
Loss on induced conversions of debt
During February 2016, we converted notes payable with outstanding principal balances totaling $233,333 into 5,800,000 shares of common stock, at $0.04 per common share, which was below the fair value of the Company's stock on the date of conversion, which resulted in a loss on induced conversion of debt of $231,000.
During February 2016, we converted notes payable with outstanding principal balances totaling $350,000 plus accrued interest of $16,000 into 9,287,985 shares of common stock, at $0.04 per common share, which was below the fair value of the stock on the date of conversion. The conversion resulted in a loss on induced conversion of debt of $148,000 and a gain on extinguishment of debt of $64,000.
Discontinued Operations
During December 2014, we sold substantially all of our customer contracts and equipment leased to customers associated with our CareServices segment. During the six months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $188,000.
Net Loss
Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2016, was $11,091,000, compared to $3,752,000 for the same period in 2015, for the reasons described above.
Deemed Dividend on Preferred Stock
During February 2016, we redeemed all 5,361 outstanding shares of our Series F preferred stock and related accrued dividends in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of common stock and notes payable of $5,900,000. We also exchanged warrants held by Series F preferred stockholders for the purchase 5,534,097 shares of common stock for new warrants for the purchase of the same number of shares with new terms. We recorded a deemed dividend of $6,484,000 as a result of these transactions.
Dividends on Preferred Stock
Dividends on preferred stock for the six months ended March 31, 2016, were $653,000, compared to $390,000 for the same period in 2015. The increase in dividends is due to an increase in the dividend rate of the Series F preferred stock from 8% to 25%, as provided by the certificate of designation of the Series F preferred stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are the proceeds from the sale of our equity securities and debt. We have not historically financed operations from cash flows from operating activities. We anticipate that we will continue to seek funding to supplement revenues from the sale of our products and services through the sale of equity and debt securities until we achieve positive cash flows from operating activities.
Our cash balance as of March 31, 2016, was $147,000. At that time, we had a working capital deficit of $15,840,000, compared to a working capital deficit of $5,424,000 as of September 30, 2015. The increase in working capital deficit is primarily due to reductions in inventory and additions to accrued liabilities, notes payable, and derivatives liabilities related to the issuance of notes payable, and related-party notes payable becoming current, offset, in part, by reductions in accounts payable and additions to prepaid expenses related to fees associated with a line of credit.
Operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2016, used cash of $2,244,000, compared to $421,000 for the same period in 2015. The increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable and decrease in accounts payable during the six months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the respective decrease in accounts receivable and increase in accounts payable during the same period in 2015, offset, in part, by the decrease in inventory during the six months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015.
Investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2016, used cash of $4,000, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $469,000 for the same period in 2015. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to the sale of substantially all of our customer contracts and equipment leased to customers associated with CareServices in December 2014.
Financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2016, provided cash of $2,224,000, compared to $259,000 for the same period in 2015. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to the net increase in proceeds from the issuance of debt during the six months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2015, offset, in part, by a net increase in principal payments on debt during the six months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2015.
We had an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2016, of $110,069,000, compared to $91,840,000 as of September 30, 2015. Our total stockholders' deficit as of March 31, 2016, was $23,488,000 compared to $8,608,000 as of September 30, 2015. These changes were primarily due to our net loss and the redemption of preferred stock for notes payable, new warrants, and shares of common stock, offset, in part, by the issuance of additional shares of common stock for the conversion of notes payable during the six months ended March 31, 2016.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing US GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2018. We are assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. ASU 2014-15sets forth management's responsibility to evaluate, each reporting period, whether there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, and if so, to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2017. We are assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on our evaluation of going concern.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16, Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. ASU 2014-16clarifies how current guidance should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. Specifically, ASU 2014-16 clarifies that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of a host contract. ASU 2014-16is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2016. We are assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In June 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements. The purpose of ASU 2015-10 is to clarify guidance, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to guidance. ASU 2015-10 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2016. We are assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The purpose of ASU 2015-11 is to more closely align the measurement of inventory in US GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2015-11 requires entities to measure most inventory at the "lower of cost or net realizable value." Additionally, some of the amendments are designed to more clearly articulate the requirements for the measurement and disclosure of inventory. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2017. We are assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The purpose of this ASU 2016-02 is to establish the principles to report transparent and economically neutral information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. This guidance results in a more faithful representation of the rights and obligations arising from operating and capital leases by requiring lessees to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases in the statement of financial position and to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about lease transactions, such as information about variable lease payments and options to renew and terminate leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2019. We are assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The purpose of ASU 2016-09 is to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2017. We are assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
Recent Developments
Subsequent to March 31, 2016, and prior to the date of this report on Form 10-Q, we entered into certain transactions to restructure our capitalization, consolidate certain obligations and obtain additional debt financing. These transactions included the conversion of outstanding preferred stock into common stock and debt, the conversion of outstanding debentures and other notes into common stock, as well as the repayment or restructuring of debt obligations of the Company as follows:
· | We borrowed an additional $500,000 under an existing note payable agreement with Partners for Growth IV, L.P. ("PFG") with interest at 12.75% per annum, maturing in March 2019. The additional amount payable is secured by substantially all of our assets under a security agreement. |
· | We entered into a note payable agreement with Bluestone Advisors, LLC ("Bluestone"), an affiliate of our Chief Financial Officer, Jeffrey Peterson, for $250,000 with interest at 18% per annum, maturing in September 2016, which is subordinated to a note payable and line of credit with PFG. In connection with the issuance of the note, we issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Bluestone as an origination fee, the fair value of which will be amortized over the term of the note. |
· | We received a $200,000 cash advance from Bluestone, which was also repaid during April 2016, with $2,600 of fees and interest. |
· | We issued 189,538 shares of common stock to settle accrued dividends for Series D preferred stock. Of these shares, 152,853 were issued to Tyumen Holdings, LLC, an entity affiliated with our Chief Financial Officer, Jeffrey Peterson. |
· | We issued 140,365 fully vested shares of common stock to an employee for services which are included in accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2016. |
· | We issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock for loan origination fees to a third party, the fair value of which is included in accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2016. |
Forward-Looking Statements and Certain Risks
The statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are considered to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). These statements represent our expectations, hopes, beliefs, anticipations, commitments, intentions, and strategies regarding the future. They may be identified by the use of words or phrases such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "should," "plans," "estimates," and "potential," among others. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding our financial performance, revenue, and expense levels in the future and the sufficiency of our existing assets to fund our future operations and capital spending needs. Readers are cautioned that actual results could differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations that are expressed in these forward-looking statements for the reasons that are detailed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The fact that some of these risk factors may be the same or similar to those in our past Exchange Act reports means only that the risks are present in multiple periods. We believe that many of the risks detailed here and in our other Exchange Act filings are part of doing business in the industry in which we operate and will likely be present in all periods reported. The fact that certain risks are common in the industry does not lessen their significance. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are made as of the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update them or to update the reasons why our actual results could differ from those that we have projected.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Information about our exposure to market risk was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 13, 2016. There have been no material quantitative or qualitative changes in market risk exposure since the date of that filing.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods that are specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding any required disclosure. In designing and evaluating these disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, for the reasons discussed below.
During the audit process for the year ended September 30, 2015 and the review process for the three months ended March 31, 2016, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as follows:
Control Environment
We did not maintain an effective internal control environment over financial reporting during the year ended September 30, 2015. Specifically, we concluded that we did not have appropriate controls in the following areas:
| · | Ineffective controls over the accounting for debt extinguishments and impairment of goodwill |
| · | Ineffective controls over segregation of access to the accounting information system and the payroll system |
We did not maintain an effective internal control environment over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Specifically, we concluded that we did not have appropriate controls in the following areas:
| · | Ineffective controls over segregation of access to the accounting information system and the payroll system |
| · | Ineffective controls over the accounting for debt issuance costs and derivatives |
Financial Reporting Process
We are in the process of improving our internal control over financial reporting in an effort to eliminate these material weaknesses through improved supervision and training of our staff. Our management, audit committee, and directors will continue to work to ensure that our controls and procedures become adequate and effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the six months ended March 31, 2016, management improved certain procedures related to internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On May 28, 2015, an investor of the Company filed a lawsuit claiming damages of $1,000,000 exclusive of interest and costs against the Company, our Executive Chairman, an entity controlled by our former Executive Chairman, and 4G Biometrics, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for breach of contract. We have engaged legal counsel regarding the matter. As the lawsuit is in its early stages, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the matter. We intend to vigorously dispute the plaintiff's claims and believe we have meritorious defenses.
On November 4, 2015, we received a demand for payment of $275,000 from a former employee of the Company and former principal of 4G Biometrics whose employment was terminated for cause. On December 4, 2015, we filed a complaint against the former owners of 4G Biometrics, including this former employee, seeking damages in excess of $300,000 related to alleged misrepresentations made to induce us to acquire 4G Biometrics. Between February 4, 2016 and February 8, 2016, we settled the complaint with each of the former owners of 4G Biometrics, and all parties released each other from all outstanding claims, including any current monetary obligations to each party, excluding one former owner of 4G Biometrics who continues to be employed by the Company. A Stipulation for Order of Dismissal with Prejudice of all Claims and Counterclaims has been filed and is in the process of being approved by the court. The settlement resulted in the termination of $39,863 of related-party accounts payable.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

(6) | 1,041,666 shares were issued in exchange for shares that were returned and cancelled during the same period. The fair value of the shares when originally issued was $121,250; |
(7) | 250,000 shares as consideration for the extension of notes payable; the fair value of the shares on the date of grant was $31,250; |
(8) | 37,113 shares to settle accrued dividends for Series D preferred stock; the fair value of the shares on the date of grant was $1,434. |
The securities issued in the above transactions were issued to accredited investors, existing stockholders or affiliates of the Company, and the offer and sale of those securities were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon exemptions from registration, including the exemptions for non-public offers and sales of securities under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
As of the date of this report, notes payable due to unrelated parties with total principal amounts of $64,000 are past due, in default, and unpaid. In addition, notes payable due to related parties with total principal amounts of $57,000 are past due, in default and unpaid.
