PURADYN FILTER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.

Basis of Presentation, Going Concern and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine - month periods ended September 30, 2013 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

For further information, refer to Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated’s (the “Company”) consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.


Since its formation June 1, 2000, Puradyn Filter Technologies, Ltd. (“Ltd.”), the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiary, has been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In March, 2009, Ltd.’s office in the UK was closed and all assets, except for bank cash accounts, were transferred to the United States. Effective January, 2012, Ltd., ceased as a legal entity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, future warranty claims, valuation of share based payments, and the valuation of intangible assets including patents.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. However, because of the Company's net losses, the effect of outstanding stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive and, accordingly, is excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. The number of such shares excluded from the computation of loss per share totaled 6,539,788 and 7,763,730 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Stock Compensation

The Company adopted FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method of adoption which requires us to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005, recognizing the amortized grant date fair value in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 718 on straight line basis over the service periods of each award.  We have estimated forfeiture rates based on our historical experience.  Stock option compensation expense for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 have been recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with FASB ASC 718 and FASB ASC 505 Equity, including related amendments and interpretations. The related expense is recognized over the period the services are provided.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Company recorded an additional reserve for slow moving inventory of $42,702.


Deferred Financing Costs

The Company capitalizes financing costs and amortizes them using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense and totaled $63 and $189 for the three and nine months ended September 30 2013 compared to $189 and $596 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $680,835 and $680,521, respectively. Net deferred financing costs as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $314 and $503, respectively.


Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers when products that do not require further services or installation by the Company are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and when collectability is reasonably assured in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, as amended and interpreted. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as deferred revenue. Sales are made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return and other limited product and performance warranties for which provision has been made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.


Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in net sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold.

Product Warranty Costs

As required by FASB ASC 460, Guarantor’s Guarantees, the Company is including the following disclosure applicable to its product warranties.

The Company accrues for warranty costs based on the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty replacement products. The methodology used in determining the liability for warranty cost is based upon historical information and experience.  The Company's warranty reserve is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and is calculated as the gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 the Company incurred warranty claims amounting to $6,094 for units that were replaced at the customer’s request.  Management has evaluated the remaining warranty reserve and deemed it to be sufficient to cover future claims based on historical sales levels and known units in the field that are still within the Company’s warranty period.

Comprehensive Income


FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes rules for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the sum of net loss as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income transactions. Other comprehensive income transactions that currently apply to the Company result from changes in exchange rates used in translating the financial statements of its wholly owned subsidiary, Puradyn Filter Technologies, Ltd. (“Ltd.”). Comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 is not shown net of taxes because the Company’s deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. There was no comprehensive income or loss attributable to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as Ltd.’s business license was surrendered with the British authorities in January, 2012.


New Accounting Pronouncements


During the three months ended September 30, 2013 there were no new accounting pronouncements that were deemed to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.


2.

Going Concern


The Company's financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained losses since inception and used net cash in operations of $836,923 and $723,956 during the nine-months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As a result, the Company has had to rely principally on private placements of equity and debt securities, including the conversion of debt into stock as well as stockholder loans to fund its activities to date.


These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from two stockholders led the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Liggett, Vogt & Webb, P.A., to include a statement in its audit report relating to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 expressing substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ITEM 2.

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


Overview


Puradyn, which has been in business for over 25 years, and designs, manufactures, and sells the Puradyn® System, a high-efficiency bypass oil filtration system and replacement filter elements.  We generate revenues through the initial sale of the bypass oil filtration systems and through the sale of the replacement filter elements.  We purchase component parts for unit housing and filter elements and the component parts are assembled, packed and shipped from our facility in Boynton Beach, Florida.


Sales of the Company’s products depend principally upon acceptance and demand by end-user customers and OEMs.  We believe we are in a unique position to capitalize on the growing acceptance of bypass oil filtration given that our products and our Company are positioned as, including:


·

A competitively priced, value-added product based on an advanced, patented technology that keeps clean oil clean to safely extend lubricating and hydraulic oil service intervals,

·

Providing significant oil maintenance savings and reduced engine life cycle costs from continuously clean lubricating and hydraulic oil,

·

An alternative solution to the rising costs of lubricating oils, national concerns over dependence on foreign oil, and the growing trend toward ‘greening’ of existing technologies – all designed to substantially reduce the carbon footprint of equipment, which is a significant environmental benefit,

·

Safely extending the lubricating and hydraulic oil service intervals to substantially reduce the carbon footprint of equipment, providing a significant environmental benefit, and

·

Providing potential fuel efficiency due to a reduction of friction in the engine components from continuously clean lubricating oil and the opportunity to minimize equipment downtime for improved operating productivity.


We focus our sales strategy on the development of OEM and individual end user relationships, along with building distributor sales efforts to continue expansion of a nationwide distribution network that will not only sell but also install and support our product. We currently have approximately 75 active distributors in the U.S. and internationally. The Company’s sales effort not only involves educating the potential customer on the benefits of our product, but also allowing the end-user to test and evaluate the Puradyn system on its fleet equipment. While set for a specific period of time, typically ranging from three to twelve months, evaluations are often influenced by a number of variables including equipment downtime or servicing, which may extend the evaluation period.


We also focus our sales and marketing efforts to target industries open to innovative methods to reduce oil maintenance operating costs and overhaul cycles. These industries are searching for new and progressive technologies to optimize their equipment use, including bypass oil filtration. While this is a long-term and ongoing commitment, we believe we have achieved a degree of product acceptance based on recent accomplishments, including:


·

In April 2013 we entered into a three-year exclusive distribution agreement with Honghua America LLC in the territories of mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, which may potentially generate approximately $5.75 million in sales revenue.


Senior management at HongHua Group, Limited, the parent company to HongHua America LLC, has announced they will standardize on the Puradyn Systems for all their rig production and will be incorporated throughout their drilling division.  Sales through the end of October 2013 were approximately $80,000, which is under the forecasted amounts provided by Honghua; however, HongHua has demonstrated their commitment to the program with a recent purchase of oil analysis equipment to provide the necessary oil analysis for safe extension of oil drains as well as contesting the local engine manufacturers threat to void engine warranty if the systems were installed on their engines.




11



 


·

In December 2012 we entered into a one year exclusive distribution agreement with MER Equipment, Inc. for the commercial marine industry on the West Coast of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.  MER Equipment, Inc. issued a $500,000 blanket purchase order for Puradyn products to be purchased during the first year of the agreement, to be specified by MER Equipment, Inc. in accordance with periodic forecasts and ship dates to be determined and confirmed at unspecified future dates.  In the discussions leading up to this agreement, MER Equipment, Inc. provided us with an internal, non-binding three-year sales forecast estimating that it could potentially purchase approximately $2.6 million of Puradyn products from us.  Sales through the end of October 2013 were approximately $53,000, which is under the forecasted amounts provided by MER.  MER is currently running behind schedule with respect to their initial forecast.  However, over the past several months, they have signed nine new dealers and have hosted a customer seminar on the bypass filtration system.  This seminar has generated commitments to evaluate the system’s performance before final decision to proceed with outfitting their entire fleet of vessels.


In addition, we have been advised that 50% to 60% of all the propulsion and gen set engines sold by MER are being equipped with our bypass filtration systems.  Finally in late November, MER will be hosting another customer seminar at the Pacific Marine Expo, over 60 major customers in the industry are anticipated to attend to learn about bypass filtration and the benefits it will bring to their companies.  MER is committed, as well, to continuing its advertising in the National Fisherman and Fisherman’s News.


There are no assurances, however, that MER Equipment, Inc. or HongHua America LLC will fulfill their forecasted non-binding sales purchases and the terms of these agreements require us to provide credits for return products, subject to restocking charges.  Accordingly, while we expect that sales to MER Equipment, Inc. and HongHua America LLC will have the potential to positively impact our revenues in future periods, there are no assurances that these potential sales will be realized.  


Our net sales for the third quarter of 2013 increased 19% from the comparable period in 2012.  This increase is attributable to increased activity from a number of our accounts at the beginning of the third quarter of 2013.  We believe that industry acceptance will grow in fiscal 2014 based in part upon these new exclusive arrangements we have entered into in 2013 as well as several articles promoting the benefits of using Puradyn filtration systems appearing in various industrial publications; however, there can be no assurance that any of our sales efforts or strategic relationships will meet management’s expectations or result in an increase in our revenues.

We continue to address our liquidity and working capital issues as we seek to raise additional capital. Historically, we have faced difficulties in raising adequate capital and we anticipate those efforts will continue given the uncertainties facing the capital markets in the U.S. We also continue to implement cost reductions in an effort to improve margins, including securing alternative suppliers for raw materials and manufacturing and we anticipate these cost reductions will impact our results of operations during the balance of 2013 and beyond. We also continue to review cost of material increases, some of which were passed through to our customers as product price increases in the past few years.  


Going Concern


Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We have incurred net losses each year since inception and have relied on the sale of our stock from time to time and loans from third parties and from related parties to fund our operations.  These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from current stockholders have led our independent registered public accounting firm Liggett, Vogt & Webb, P.A. to include a statement in its audit report relating to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities when they become due and to generate profitable operations in the future.  We plan to continue to provide for our capital requirements through the sale of equity securities, however, we have no firm commitments from any third party to provide this type financing and we cannot assure you we will be successful in raising working capital as needed.  We are also materially dependent upon loans from related parties to provide working capital. There are no assurances that we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan, pay our obligations as they become due, or generate positive operating results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, financing operations, warranty obligations and contingencies and litigation.  We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.


Allowance for doubtful accounts


We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial conditions of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.  We provide for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on customer specific identification and historical collection experience. If market conditions continue to decline, actual collection experience may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flows and increased bad debt expense.


The policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer, which is generally net 30 or net 60 days. Once collection efforts by us are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made.


Estimation of Product Warranty Cost


We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or costs or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.


Inventory and estimation of inventory obsolescence


Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Valuation allowances for obsolete and excess inventory and shrinkage are also recorded. Shrinkage is estimated as a percentage of sales for the period from the last physical inventory date to the end of the applicable period. Such estimates are based on experience and the most recent physical inventory results. The valuation allowances for obsolete and excess inventory in multiple stages of processing, requires management judgment and estimates that may impact the ending inventory valuation and valuation allowances that may affect the reported gross margin for the period.


We provide for estimated inventory obsolescence or unmarketable inventory in amounts equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.




13



 


Impairment of long-lived assets


We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets under the guidelines of FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment.  Factors that we consider in making this evaluation include estimating the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to result from the assets over their remaining useful life. Should our estimates of these factors change our results of operations, our financial condition could be adversely impacted.


Revenue recognition


Revenue is recognized when earned.  Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with the provisions issued in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers is recorded when products that do not require further services or installation by us are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and for which collectability is reasonably assured.  We provide for sales returns based on an historical analysis of returns. The estimate is updated for current return activity and the provision is adjusted accordingly. Should actual returns exceed management’s estimates, the provision may require further adjustment and accordingly, net sales may decrease.


Impact of Inflation and Foreign Currency Translation

Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations. However, any significant decrease in the price for oil or labor, environmental compliance costs, and engine replacement costs could adversely impact the Company's end users cost/benefit analysis as to the use of the Company's products. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 our cash was not impacted by foreign currency translations. The impact of fluctuations in foreign currency was not significant during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.

Off Balance Sheet Financing

The Company has not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties, nor has it entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Company does not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing or hedging services with us.


Results of Operations for the Three-months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Three-months Ended September 30, 2012


Net Sales


Net sales increased 19% in the three months ending September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ending September 30, 2012. The majority of our sales increase in the 2013 period resulted from increased sales from three customers of approximately $160,000 or 28%, which was partially offset by reduced orders of $88,000 or 16% from four customers. Replacement filter sales have accounted for 66% of net sales in 2013 compared to 57% for the same time period in 2012.


Sales to three customers accounted for 22%, 14%, and 11% (for a total of 47%) of net sales for the three-months ended September 30, 2013. Sales to four customers accounted for 18%, 14%, 12% and 10% (for a total of 54%) of net sales for the three-months ended September 30, 2012.


Cost of Products Sold


Gross profit, the amount of profit to the Company after cost of products sold is deducted from net sales, as a percentage of net sales, increased from 17% in the three months ending September 30, 2012 to 32% in the three months ending September 30, 2013. The decrease in cost of goods sold, which generates a higher gross profit, is primarily attributable to decreased allocation of manufacturing overhead due to higher sales, lower costs certain materials as we changed suppliers in October of 2012 and reduced charges for scrap materials.

Salaries and Wages


Salaries and wages decreased 2.6% for the three months ending September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ending September 30, 2012. This decrease resulted from decreased compensation. .


Salaries and wages, as a percentage of net sales, were 47% for the three months ending September 30, 2013 and 57% for the three months ending September 30, 2012. The decrease in salaries and wages as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to the increase net sales for the three months ending September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.


Management does not anticipate any changes to our salaries and wages at our current sales volume.


Selling and Administrative Expenses


Selling and administrative expenses decreased by 14% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from the comparable period in 2012. The decreased expenses primarily resulted from lower employee benefit costs and professional fees which were partially offset by higher travel and other expenses.


Our expansion into international markets and additional trade show participation resulted in the increase in travel and marketing expenses in the 2013 period. As we continue to expand our international customer base and develop more specialized products for niche industries, we anticipate that travel and marketing costs will increase, but all other expenses will remain stable for the balance of the year. The following table lists the major categories of expenses included in Selling and Administrative expenses:

Reduced medical insurance premiums and stock option costs contributed to the decrease in employee benefits for the three months ending September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ending September 30, 2012.


Professional fees decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to reduced fees paid to consultants which were associated with SEC filings.


Interest Expense


Interest expense increased 23% for the three months ending September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ending September 30, 2012 and was incurred primarily on the outstanding balance of the stockholder notes payable. The increase was due to higher borrowings.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012


Net Sales


Net sales decreased 14.3% in the nine months ending September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ending September 30, 2012.  The majority of our sales decrease in the 2013 period resulted from reduced orders from four customers of approximately $425,000 or 24% which was partially offset by increased sales of approximately $216,000 or 12% from two customers.  Replacement filter sales have accounted for 66% of net sales in 2013 compared to 57% for the same time period in 2012.


Sales to two customers individually accounted for 15%, and 14% (for a total of 29%) for the nine months ending September 30, 2013. Sales to four customers individually accounted for 15%, 13%, 12% and 10% (for a total of 50%) for the nine months ending September 30, 2012.


Cost of Products Sold


Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased 1% from27% in the nine months ending September 30, 2012 to 26% in the nine months ending September 30, 2013. The increase in cost of goods sold, which generates a lower gross profit, is primarily attributable to the reserve for slow moving inventory of $42,702 recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and increased allocation of manufacturing overhead due to lower than expected sales, which was partially offset by lower costs for certain materials as we changed suppliers and reduced charges for scrap materials.


Salaries and Wages


Salaries and wages decreased by 1% for the nine months ending September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ending September 30, 2012. 


Salaries and wages, as a percentage of net sales, were 47% for the nine months ending September 30, 2013 and 41% for the nine months ending September 30, 2012. The increase in salaries and wages as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to the decrease in net sales for the nine months ending September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

The changes in most components of selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from the comparable period in 2012 are the result of the same factors which impacted period to period changes described earlier in this section.  


Professional fees decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to reduced fees paid to consultants which were associated with SEC filings.


Our outreach to international markets and additional trade show participation resulted in the increase in travel and marketing expenses in the 2013 period. As we extend our reach to international customers and continue to develop more specialized products for niche industries, we anticipate that travel and marketing costs will increase, but we expect all other expenses will remain stable for the balance of the year.


In May 2011 we entered into an agreement with Monarch Communications, Inc., to pay a portion of our public relations firm fees in stock. This agreement was renewed in May of 2012 and 2013. This amount has been reported as a marketing expense. Amounts reported as stock compensation for 2012 and 2013 represent the value of options issued to Directors pursuant to our 2000 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan.


Interest Expense


Interest expense increased for the period ending September 30, 2013 as compared to the period ending September 30, 2012 and was incurred primarily on the outstanding balance of the stockholder notes payable. The increase was due to higher borrowings. The Company pays interest monthly on the notes payable to the stockholder at the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus 1.4%, which was a weighted average of 2.28% as of September 30, 2013 as compared to 2.03% as of September 30, 2012.  


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its ongoing operations. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had cash of $103,639, as compared to $114,512 at December 31, 2012. At September 30, 2013, we had negative working capital of ($823,659) and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was 0.57 to 1.  At December 31, 2012 we had negative working capital of ($821,616) and our current ratio was 0.57 to 1.  The decrease in working capital deficit is primarily attributable to the increase in cash, and prepaid expenses offset by increased deferred compensation and satisfaction of a note payable to one of our stockholders who is also a member of our Board of Directors.


We have incurred net losses each year since inception and at September 30, 2013 we had an accumulated deficit of $57,079,488. Our net sales are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. Historically, we have relied on the sale of our stock from time to time and loans from related parties to fund our operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we raised an additional $898,076 from stockholder loans.  During 2012, we raised $795,000 from stockholder loans, together with $4,808 from the exercise of options and collection on notes receivable for options and $12,743, net, from a capital lease. As of September 30, 2013, we owe our principal stockholder who is also an executive officer and director of the Company $9.6 million for funds he has advanced to us from time to time for working capital.  Interest expense on our loans was $159,810 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.


We do not currently have any commitments for capital expenditures.  Our current cash position is insufficient to cover our current operating needs for the next twelve months, and we do not have any external sources of working capital.  Additional cash is needed to support operations, meet our working capital needs and satisfy our obligations as they become due.  Although we are actively seeking additional equity investments, we have no firm commitments from any third parties and there are no assurances we will be successful in attracting additional capital.  In addition, as set forth above, we owe our stockholder $9.6 million which is due on December 31, 2014 or (i) at such time as we have raised an additional $7 million over the $3.5 million raised in prior offerings, or (ii) at such time as we are operating within sufficient cash flow parameters to sustain operations, or (iii) until a disposition of our company, such as an acquisition or merger, occurs.  During the first quarter of 2013, the due date of this note was extended from December 31, 2013 to the current due date of December 31, 2014.  We do not have sufficient funds to pay the loan when due and there are no assurances the note holder will extend the due date.

We have implemented measures to preserve our ability to operate, including organizational changes, a reduction and/or deferral of salaries, reduction in personnel and renegotiating creditor and collection arrangements. If we are not successful in raising additional capital in the near future, it is possible we will be required to accelerate our contingent plans to more aggressively reduce spending, including drastic reductions in our work force, severe cutbacks in our production facilities and elimination of overhead costs that do not contribute to our level of sales activity. If budgeted sales levels are not achieved and/or significant unanticipated expenditures occur, or if we are not able to raise additional investment capital, we may have to modify our business plan, reduce or discontinue some of our operations or seek a buyer for part of its assets to continue as a going concern through 2013. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or that sales will increase to the level required to generate profitable operations to provide positive cash flow from operations. In that event, it is possible that stockholders could lose their entire investment in our company.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


Cash Flows


Operating activities


For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 net cash used in operating activities was $836,923, which primarily resulted from the net loss of $1,125,762  in addition to the cash used in funding the operating loss, the utilization of cash in operations is also attributable to the decrease in accounts receivable of $84,285, inventory of $45,552, and deferred compensation of $147,200, which were partially offset by decreased  prepaid expenses of $34,937.


For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 net cash used in operating activities was $723,956, which primarily resulted from the net loss of $1,625,809. In addition to the cash used in funding the operating loss, the utilization of cash in operations is also attributable to compensation expense of $168,585, a loss on note receivable of $611,250, increased accounts receivable of $195,405 and deferred compensation of $87,451, which were partially offset by a decreased realized gain on foreign transactions of $146,255 and reduced prepaid expenses of $103,566.


Investing activities


For the nine months ending September 30, 2013, $58,593 was used in investing activities for the purchase of software and capitalized patent costs. For the nine months ending September 30, 2012, $79,888 was used in investing activities for the purchase of equipment.


Financing activities


Net cash provided by financing activities was $884,643 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was composed of $898,076 in loans from our stockholders as described above, offset by $13,433 in payments of capital lease obligations.


Net cash provided by financing activities was $843,843 for the nine months ending September 30, 2012, composed of borrowings on capital leases, proceeds from a stockholder note receivable related to warrants exercised, proceeds from the exercise of warrants and $795,000 of advances under the line of credit from our stockholder as described above less $4,748 in payment of capital lease obligations.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management, which includes our CEO and our Vice President who serves as our principal financial officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2013 (the "Evaluation Date"). Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.


Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and our Vice President who also serves as our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President who serves as our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
