Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2017, we had a working capital deficit of $862,008, consisting of $6,589 in accounts receivable, and $1,500 in deposits offset by negative cash of $85, accounts payable $171,085, accrued expenses of $275,146, and $432,781 in the current portion of notes payable.
In the six month period ended June 30, 2016, we had a working capital deficit of $532,400, consisting of $25,284 in cash, $983 in accounts receivable and $1,500 in deposits, offset by current liabilities of $177,475 in accounts payable, $231,060 in accrued expenses, $15,042 in deferred revenue, and $110,081 in the current portion of notes payable.
The difference between periods was the largely result of increases in current liabilities of $309,926, from $560,168 in the six month period ended June 30, 2016 to $870,097 in the six month period ended June 30, 2017.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2017, we used $139,229 of cash in operating activities, obtained cash of $1,997 from investing activities and $111,863 from financing activities resulting in a decrease in cash of $25,369 and a negative balance of $85 for the period.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2016, we used cash of $316,033 in operating activities and obtained cash of $372,264 in financing activities resulting in an increase in cash of $56,231 and a cash balance of $56,441 at the end of the period.
Total current assets as of June 30, 2017 were $8,089, as compared to $27,767, an increase of $24,155, while current liabilities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $870,097 and $560,168 as explained above. We have incurred operating losses of $244,014 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to $309,873 for the comparable prior period ended June 30, 2016, largely due the abandonment of licensing fees from an affiliate. During the six month period ended June 30, 2017, we have accumulated deficit of $5,571,116. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash generated by issuing new shares of the company's common stock and cash generated from operations.
In order to be able to achieve our strategic goals, we need to further expand our business and financing activities. Expanding market awareness of the SnöBar products and our international distribution networks, together with further improvement of the SnöBar products will require future capital and liquidity expansion. Since our inception in January 2013, our shareholders have contributed a significant amount of capital making it possible for us to develop and market the SnöBar products. To continue to develop our product offerings and generate sales, a significant capital increase has been and will continue to be required. We plan to continue raising capital in order to meet our liquidity needs. However, we may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or to raise capital on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms. We do not currently have any contractual restrictions on our ability to incur debt and, accordingly we could incur significant amounts of indebtedness to finance operations. Any such indebtedness could contain covenants which would restrict our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed which are described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.
