Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and from Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will occur for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for any other period.

 

The financial information as of March 31, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is unaudited; however, such financial information includes all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, which, are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

 

2. Nature of operations and going concern

 

Viscount Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 24, 2001 in the State of Nevada. The Company manufactures, distributes, and provides services for electronic premises access and security equipment primarily through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Viscount Communication and Control Systems Inc.

 

The Company’s legacy business consists of products and services for high rise residential and office buildings, generally described as telephone access. These products allow visitors to contact tenants or offices via a lobby device to gain entry. The Company has various brands in this marketplace, with high end products called MESH, and lower cost products called Enterphone, selling through dealers in Canada and the United States.

 

The Company’s Freedom Access Control software solution (“Freedom”) controls entry doors throughout a business, hospital, school, or other buildings, and prevents entry by persons unknown or staff attempting to enter at the wrong time of day.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $16,398,136, a working capital deficit of $8,840,286 and reported a loss of $139,335 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern.

 

Based on its current financial position, the Company could be required to fund its operations on a month-to-month basis. The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital in order to fund operations, meet its payment obligations and execute its business plan. Although management is confident that the Company can access sufficient working capital to maintain operations and ultimately generate positive cash flows from operations, the ability to sustain the current level of operations is dependent upon growing sales and achieving sustainable profits. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company and whether the Company will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on a timely basis, the Company could be forced to sell its assets and discontinue its operations.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3. Significant accounting policies

 

The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows:

 

  (a) Principles of consolidation
     
    The condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts and results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Viscount Communication and Control Systems Inc. (“VCCS”). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
     
  (b) Use of estimates
     
    Management has made a number of estimates and judgments relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in order to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Significant areas involving estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, the provision for future warranty costs, the estimated useful lives of equipment and intangible assets, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and assumptions used to determine the fair value of equity instruments, stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
     
  (c) Reportable segment
     
    Prior to January 1, 2016, the Company organized its business into two reportable segments: manufacturing and servicing. The manufacturing segment designs, produces and sells intercom and door access control systems that utilize telecommunications to control access to buildings and other facilities for security purposes. The servicing segment provides maintenance to these intercom and door access control systems. As a result of the Company’s decision to sell its servicing business, the Company will discontinue its servicing business and operate in one segment, the manufacturing business. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company has reclassified its servicing business as a discontinued operation on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (see Note 13).
     
  (d) Discontinued operations
     
    The Company accounted for its decision to sell its servicing business as discontinued operations in accordance with the guidance provided in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements,” which requires that only a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, that represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the reporting entity’s operations that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and has operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity be reported as assets held for sale and discontinued operations. In the period a component of an entity has been disposed of or classified as held for sale, the results of operations for the periods presented are reclassified into separate line items in the statements of operations. Assets and liabilities are also reclassified into separate line items on the related balance sheets for the periods presented. The statements of cash flows for the periods presented are also reclassified to reflect the results of discontinued operations as separate line items.
     
  (e) Foreign currency translation
     
    The functional and reporting currency of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, the financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date while non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at historical rates. Revenue and expense items denominated in a foreign currency are translated at exchange rates prevailing when such items are recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Exchange gains or losses arising on translation of foreign currency items are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

  (f) Allowance for doubtful accounts
     
    Accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $93,467 and $97,249 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company’s management has established an allowance for doubtful accounts sufficient to cover probable and reasonably estimable losses. The nature of the business is that the majority of the payments are made net 30 days after the product is delivered. If the financial conditions of customers were to materially deteriorate, an increase in the allowance amount could be required. The allowance for doubtful accounts considers a number of factors, including collection experience, current economic trends, estimates of forecasted write-offs, aging of the accounts receivable, and other factors.
     
  (g) Net loss per share of common stock
     
    Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to holders of the Company Common Stock, par value $0.001(“Common Stock”) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive and consist of the following:

 

    March 31  
    2016     2015  
Warrants     53,752,128       82,372,128  
Options     12,991,450       11,692,075  
Series A preferred stock     3,130,695       27,156,802  
Series A Demand Notes and Series B Demand Notes and accrued interest     546,398,752       -  
Total potentially dilutive shares     616,273,025       121,221,005  

 

  (h) Sequencing Policy
     
    The Company has adopted a sequencing policy that reclassifies contracts from equity to assets or liabilities for those with the earliest inception date first. Future issuances of securities will be evaluated as to reclassification as a liability under the sequencing policy which will take the earliest date first until either all of the Common Stock underlying the Company’s Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, (“Series A Shares”), are settled or expired.
     
  (i) Recently issued accounting pronouncements
     
    In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU, No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and affects all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The amendments in this update cover such areas as the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies, the classification of those excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, an accounting policy election for forfeitures, the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes and still qualify for equity classification and the classification of those taxes paid on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This guidance can be applied either prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified retrospective transition method, depending on the area covered in this update. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
     

    In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”). ASU 2016-10 clarifies two aspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim reporting periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
     
    There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

7. Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock

 

As the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was not timely filed with the SEC (a “Redemption Event”), the Company is required to redeem its Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock (the “Series A Shares”) for 150% of their value if holders of 10% of the Stated Value (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Shares, as amended (the “Certificate”)) of the Series A Shares provide the Company with a written notice of redemption within sixty days after the Redemption Event becomes known to such holders (a “Redemption Request”).

9. Reservation of Authorized Shares

 

The Series A Demand Note and Series B Demand Note also require the Company to reserve from its authorized shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to convert all of the Series A Demand Note and Demand B Note into shares of Common Stock. In order to do so, the Company has covenanted to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock to 3,000,000,000 shares as soon as possible. If the Company is unable to satisfy this covenant, the Company will owe to the note holders an amount equal to 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Series A Demand Note and Series B Demand Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest. The Company has not reserved such shares as of March 31, 2016.

 

On March 30, 2016, the note holders agreed to waive any rights that they may have to declare a default, and to pursue any remedies or impose any penalties as applicable to Series A Demand Note and Series B Demand Note, effective December 3, 2015 and thereon, including the Company’s three months ended March 31, 2016.

In consideration of this waiver, the Company agreed to file an Information Statement on Form 14A or Form 14C, as applicable, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and take all and any such action to cure the Subsequent Reserve Deficiency and the Subsequent Authorized Deficiency for the Notes (i) on or prior to the close of business on May 31, 2016 in the case of an Information Statement Schedule 14C filing or (ii) on or prior to the close of business on July 29, 2016 in the case of an Information Statement Schedule 14A filing. The penalties would be retroactive to the initial default date contained in the Notes if the increase of authorized shares cannot be completed by June 15, 2016, if no SEC comments to the Schedule 14C are received and July 31, 2016, if SEC comments are received. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase its authorized shares.

 

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations, due to related parties and loans payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. These fair value measurements apply to all financial instruments that are measured and reported on a fair value basis.

 

Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, financial instruments are categorized according to the fair value hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

  Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
     
  Level 2 — Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
     
  Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The assessed level that a financial asset or liability will carry is determined by the Company’s Principal Financial Officer under management of the Chief Executive Officer.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the assignment of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

The Company uses Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities and revalues its derivative liabilities at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

 

A summary of the Company’s Level 3 derivative liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows:

 

Balance, December 31, 2015   $ 4,383,668  
Fair value change of derivative liabilities     (757,176 )
Fair value of embedded conversion options in preferred shares issued as dividends     3,131  
Fair value of Warrants issued     5,498  
Balance, March 31, 2016   $ 3,635,121

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Fair value change of derivative liabilities

 

The derivative liabilities consist of fair value of certain share purchase warrants that were issued in unit private placements that have an exercise price in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company, as well as embedded conversion options in the Series A and B Demand Notes and Series A Share dividends.

 

The fair value of the warrants and embedded conversion options were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Binomial Lattice model depending on their characteristics, using the following current market assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

 

  March 31
    2016   2015
Volatility   111.63% - 125.84%   81% - 104%
Risk-free interest rate   0.73% - 1.21%   0.26% - 1.37%
Contractual term   1.18 - 5.00 yrs   0.69 - 5.00 yrs

 

11. Capital Stock

 

Stock Options

 

On January 18, 2016, the Company granted its Principal Financial Officer 200,000 stock options at an exercise price of US$0.01, fully vested at the issuance date and are exercisable for two years unless extended in writing. The options had an aggregate grant date fair value of $1,823, which was recorded as stock based compensation expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

A summary of stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016, is as follows:

 

          Weighted      
      Weighted     Average     Aggregate  
  Number of     Average     Remaining Life     Intrinsic  
  Options     Exercise Price     In Years     Value  
Outstanding at January 1, 2016     12,791,450       US$0.08                  
Employee Options Granted     200,000       US$0.01                  
Outstanding at March 31, 2016     12,991,450       US$0.08       3.45     $ -  
Exercisable at March 31, 2016     12,241,450       US$0.08       2.90     $ -  

 

The Company has computed the fair value of warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual option forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material. The Company estimated forfeitures related to option grants at annual rates ranging from 0% to 5% for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The expected term used for warrants and options issued to non-employees is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued to employees is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

11. Capital Stock (continued)

 

The fair value of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following current market assumptions:

 

Volatility   111.63% - 125.84%
Risk-free interest rate   0.73% - 1.21%
Contractual term   1.30 - 5.00 yrs

 

The significant assumptions used during the year to estimate the fair value included an expected term (based on the history of exercises and forfeitures) and volatility (based on the historical volatility with a look-back period equivalent to the expected term).

 

The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was US$0.01 and $0.00 per option, respectively.

 

A summary of the stock options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2016 is as follows:

 

    Outstanding     Exercisable     Remaining  
    Number of     Number of     Contractual Life

12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. There are no such matters that are deemed material to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Legal Case

 

Viscount filed a Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Stephen Pineau, its former President, CEO and director on November 19, 2014 alleging that during the term of his employment, Mr. Pineau had misappropriated certain company funds. The Company sought damages for breach of contract and fiduciary duty, equitable relief, including restitution and recovery of Company funds owed, special, aggravated and punitive damages, as well as interest and costs, including special costs. Mr. Pineau denied these allegations, and on January 2, 2015, filed a counterclaim alleging that the Company owed him compensation for wrongful termination, bad faith damages, compensation he claimed he is owed by the Company, unpaid director’s fees and expenses. Viscount denied these allegations and asserted that Mr. Pineau’s termination, while initially without cause, was changed for cause post-termination once the Company discovered evidence of Mr. Pineau’s alleged misappropriation.

12. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company and its former CEO, Stephen Pineau came to general terms of an agreement to resolve their outstanding claim. The parties fully and finally settle all issues between them, including but not limited to Mr. Pineau’s employment and its termination, directorship and its termination, options and shareholdings, as well as the facts and matters plead in the action referenced above, on a mutual and without-costs basis.

 

Both parties executed the consent order dismissing the claim and counterclaim as if there had been a trial on the issues with no costs payable to either party and agreed to take all actions and steps necessary to have it filed with the Vancouver Registry.

 

The Company agreed to re-issue 3,000,000 stock options to Mr. Pineau on the same terms and at the same exercise price as those that expired in December 2013, being $0.04 CAD, except with the expiry date extended by five years (expiring in December, 2018). Accordingly, the Company valued the 3,000,000 stock options at $24,627, using the Black-Scholes Model. As of March 31, 2016, the stock options related litigation liability was $24,627.

 

The Company agreed to extend Mr. Pineau’s 3,000,000 warrants exercisable at $0.08 CAD per share, which expired December 23, 2015 until December 23, 2018. Accordingly, the Company valued the 3,000,000 extended warrants at $18,476, using the Black-Scholes Model. As of March 31, 2016, the warrants related to litigation liability was $18,476.

 

As of March 31, 2016, such options and warrants have not been issued.

 

Subsequent to the first quarter of 2016, the Company and its former CEO, Stephen Pineau have executed the consent order and the law case has been dismissed. The Company issued Mr. Pineau 3,000,000 stock options and 3,000,000 warrants as disclosed above.

 

Operating Leases

 

Rent expense, including the insurance charge, included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $36,390 and $35,789, respectively. The Company has renewed the lease agreement from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2017.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

We maintain our books of account in Canadian dollars (“CAD”) and references to dollar amounts herein are to the lawful currency of Canada unless otherwise indicated.

 

Overview

 

Viscount Systems, Inc. is a manufacturer of physical access control systems (“PACS” or “Freedom PACS”) and telephone entry products, which protect buildings from unauthorized access. The business consists of three segments.

 

The newest and fastest growing segment, started in 2011, is our Freedom PACS solution (“Freedom”). This enterprise-wide access control system secures and controls ingress and egress points including doors, elevators, turnstiles, mantraps, vehicle barriers, gates and garage doors throughout an end user’s building, facility or campus and prevents the entry of persons unknown or staff attempting to gain access to ingress/egress points at the wrong time or day. This product segment has experienced significant growth since its inception with a high gross margin. It is the focus of the largest percentage of the Company’s spending and efforts.

 

The legacy business, existing since 1969, focusing on products and services for high rise residential and office buildings, generally described as telephone entry, such as Enterphone. Enterphone is used to provide intercom and access control functions in buildings. These products allow visitors to contact tenants or offices via a lobby telephone entry device to request and be granted entry. The Company has various premier brands in this marketplace, the high end product is called MESH and enables a touchscreen user interface experience as well as lower cost products that are sold through dealers and distributors throughout Canada and the United States. The telephone entry business received some reinvestment in 2015 to develop new products helping to regain market share. The most recent addition to the family of telephone entry products was “Enterphone iQ” launched in mid-year 2015.

 

We operate our service division which provides coverage to the Province of British Columbia (the “Service Division”). The primary revenue source for the Service Division is derived from maintenance agreements supporting Enterphone, EPX and other systems. In January 2016, we decided to sell the Service Division and created a special committee to market our servicing division. As a result, the Service Division is classified as held for sale and is treated as discontinued operations and prior periods presented financial results have been reclassified to give effect to this change (see Note 13. Discontinued Operations).

 

Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations

 

Three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015

 

Overview

 

We reported a net loss of $139,335 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to net income of $139,853 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decline in net income of $279,188 is primarily due to interest expense on notes liabilities of $630,888 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016, partially offset by a foreign exchange gain on the revaluation of USD denominated notes liability of $211,930, and an increased gain on the fair value change of derivative liabilities of $135,803.

 

Revenues

 

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $981,878 and $1,054,480, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $72,602 or 7%. Freedom sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $329,707 and $441,105, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $111,398 or 25%, which was mostly due to lower freedom equipment sales during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in Freedom sales were partially offset by an increase of $38,796 or 6% from Mesh/Enterphone sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 2015. Mesh/Enterphone sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were, $652,171 and $613,375, respectively.

Gross profit

 

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $530,079 and $490,817, respectively, an increase of $39,262 or 8%. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, cost of sales were $451,799 and $563,663 or, as a percentage of sales, was 46% and 53%, respectively. Included in cost of sales is a recovery of inventory obsolescence and shrinkage amounting to $51,278 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was 54% and 47%, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, management has continued to focus on controlling costs by using multiple suppliers to ensure that the best and most cost effective raw materials are used in all of our products.

 

The gross margin percentage for three months ended March 31, 2016 of our product categories of Mesh/Enterphone and Freedom, were 47% and 67%, respectively. The gross margin percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of product categories of MESH/Enterphone and Freedom were 28% and 73%, respectively.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, selling, general and administrative expenses were $849,554 and $879,860, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $30,306 or 3.5%. Such decreases in expenses, compared to the first quarter of 2015, are mainly due to lower salary costs from sales and administration departments, and lower benefit expenses, lower marketing costs and general administration expenditures, as well as lower sales commissions associated to decreased sales revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, were 87% and 83%, respectively.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $236,502 and $189,215, respectively, reflecting an increase of $47,287 or 25%. Research and development costs have increased during the first quarter of 2016 as compared to 2015 due to the hiring of new R&D consultants for the Federal Information Processing Standards (“FIPS”) project and technical support personnel. The Company will decrease R&D expenditures during 2016 due to the shortage of cash flow.

 

Operating loss

 

Operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $555,977, compared to an operating loss of $578,258 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, reflecting a decrease of $22,281 or 4%. The decrease in operating loss is mainly the result of decreased cost of sales, as described above.

 

Other income (expense)

 

Other income, net was $333,649 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $621,383 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, reflecting a decrease of $287,734 or 46%, primarily due to interest expense on notes liability of $630,888 incurred during the first quarter of 2016, partially offset by the foreign exchange gain on revaluation of USD denominated notes liability of $211,930, and an increased gain on the fair value change of derivative liabilities of $135,803. The favorable USD exchange rate of $1.30 at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.38 at December 31, 2015, contributed to the foreign exchange gain on notes liability revaluation and gain on the fair value change of derivative liabilities.

 

Income from Discontinued Operations

 

Income from discontinued operations is attributable to the net income related to the Service Division as a result of our decision in January 2016 to sell the Service Division. Income from discontinued operations of $82,993 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is comprised of sales revenues of $222,965, cost of sales of $89,061 and operating expenses of $50,911. Income from discontinued operations of $96,728 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is comprised of sales revenues of $270,416, cost of sales of $96,715 and operating expenses of $76,973.

Series A Shares Dividends

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, contractual dividends were $3,131 and $18,696, respectively, which represented the fair value of the embedded conversion options associated with Series A Shares issued as quarterly dividends. We issued 2 and 25 Series A Shares during the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had cash of $51,796 as of March 31, 2016 and negative working capital of $8,840,286 as of March 31, 2016. The large amount of negative working capital is mainly due to the notes liability, the derivative notes liability and accrued PIK interest payable on the Series A and B Demand Notes liabilities. We had an accumulated deficit of $16,398,136 as of March 31, 2016 and reported an operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $555,977. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $184,910. We are subject to significant liquidity risk. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to raise sufficient working capital and continue operations as a going concern. At March 31, 2016, our current assets consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivables and inventory.

 

Based on our current financial position, we could be required to fund our operations on a month-to-month basis to cover our monthly operations, including monthly payroll expense, research and development expense, selling, general and administration expense, the cash needed to purchase the manufactory raw material or the sale of part of our business. The ability to continue operations is dependent upon raising additional capital and/or growing sales and achieving profits. We will likely require additional funds to support the development and marketing of our new Freedom products. Management is also seeking to sell one of our business units – the Service Division, due to its non-core nature, as an asset sale to raise sufficient capital for business operations. While we continue to actively seek new investors and customer relationships, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient working capital on terms that are acceptable or that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. If working capital becomes insufficient, we will have to reduce spending in several key areas including research and development and marketing. This would have a negative impact on our growth prospects, would render us unable to take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, and could result in curtailing our operations or selling additional assets. The management team will be working diligently to reduce operating expenses during 2016.

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we experienced negative cash flows in operating activities from continuing operations in the amount of $290,993 and $369,007, respectively.

 

The net cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of 2016 was primarily due to net loss of $139,335, increased by net income from discontinued operations of $82,993 and increased by non-cash income of $969,107 resulting from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities and the foreign exchange gain on the revaluation of notes liabilities, partially offset by the adjustment of net non-cash expenses of $14,717. Net cash generated from changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities was $885,725, primarily from an increase in the level of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes interest payable, a decrease of the level of the inventory and an increase in accounts receivable. The net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to cash generated from the net income of $139,853, increased by the net income from discontinued operations of $96,728, and decreased by the adjustment of non-cash income of $621,373 resulting from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, partially offset by the adjustment of non-cash expenses of $55,014, plus $264,255 of net cash generated from changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily from an increase of accounts payable and an increase in inventory and accounts receivable.

During the three month ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, net cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations was $106,083 and $124,310, respectively.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, $9,602 and $1,371, respectively, of cash was used to purchase property and equipment, consisting of computers, office furniture and leasehold improvements.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, $3,962 of cash was used by financing activities. During the three month ended March 31, 2015, $234,560 of cash was provided by the financing activities. The net cash provided by financing activities during the first quarter of 2015, mainly resulted from $234,000 of proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock.

 

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 the Company’s 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

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing sound accounting policies and in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenues and expenses, and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

We base our estimates on our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry, current and expected economic conditions, the attributes of our products, the regulatory environment, and in certain cases, the results of outside appraisals. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications are necessary. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

 

While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.

 

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on April 14, 2016, which we believe are the most critical to our business and the understanding of our results of operations and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we use in the preparation of our financial statements.
