DR. TATTOFF, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1.     ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Organization
 
Dr. Tattoff, Inc., a Florida corporation formed in 2004, directly and through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DRTHC I, LLC and DRTHC II, LLC, Delaware limited liability companies (collectively with Dr. Tattoff, Inc., the “Company”), operates clinics and provides marketing and practice management services to licensed physicians who primarily perform laser tattoo removal services.  The Company currently operates clinics in Dallas, Frisco, Ft. Worth and Houston, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; and Atlanta, Georgia, and provides services under a management services agreement with a contracting physician at four Southern California locations whereby the Company provides management, administrative, marketing and support services, insurance, and equipment at the clinical sites.  The contracting physician’s medical personnel provide laser tattoo and hair removal services.
 
Going Concern
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  At March 31, 2015, the Company has accumulated losses approximating $19,138,000, current liabilities that exceeded its current assets by approximately $11,733,000, shareholders’ deficit of approximately $10,255,000, and has not yet produced operating income or positive cash flows from operations. In addition, $325,000 of promissory notes are currently in default. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is predicated on its ability to raise additional capital, increase sales and margins, and ultimately achieve sustained profitable operations.  The uncertainty related to these conditions raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
 Management believes that the Company will need to continue to raise additional outside capital to expand the number of clinics in operation and to address its losses and ability to continue to operate.  The Company intends to raise additional capital and continue opening additional clinics to achieve this goal.
 
In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors includes individuals with substantial experience in raising capital and numerous relationships that may assist the Company in achieving its goals.  In the event that the Company is unsuccessful in raising adequate equity capital, management will attempt to reduce losses and preserve as much liquidity as possible. Steps management would likely take would include limiting capital expenditures, reducing expenses and leveraging the relatively few assets that it owns without encumbrance.  A reduction in expenses would likely include personnel costs, professional fees, and marketing expenses.  While management would attempt to achieve break-even or profitable operations through these steps, there can be no assurance that it will be successful.
 
Consolidation Policy
 
The Company has various contractual relationships with William Kirby, D.O., Inc. including a management services agreement, medical director’s agreement, equipment subleases, and guarantees.  The Company evaluated the various relationships between the parties to determine if it should consolidate William Kirby, D.O., Inc. as a variable interest entity pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation.  The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of the interest due to the following: William Kirby, D.O., Inc. has the ability to control the activities that have the most significant impact on its economic performance; the Company does not have an obligation to absorb losses of William Kirby, D.O., Inc.; the Company is not guaranteed a return; and there are no interests that are subordinate to the equity interest at risk.  The Company conclusion followed an analysis of both the contractual arrangements and California state law restrictions on relationships between licensed professionals and businesses.  Among the restrictions of California law the Company considered most relevant in its analysis were those that prohibit a lay corporation from providing medical services, including laser tattoo and laser hair removal, employing medical personnel, and making key decisions about equipment and marketing initiatives. Therefore, the results of William Kirby, D.O., Inc. are not consolidated into the results of the Company as of March 31, 2015. The Company reassesses the need to consolidate in each reporting period. Dr. Kirby served as a member of our Board of Directors from March 2008 through September 2014, however, none of the terms of Company’s agreements with William Kirby, D.O., Inc. require that he be a member of our Board of Directors.
 
The carrying amount and classification of assets and liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets relating to the Company’s relationship with William Kirby, D.O., Inc. are summarized as follows:
 
   
March 31, 2015
(Unaudited)

Long-Term Liabilities
               
Capital lease obligations, net of current portion
    29,302       32,307  
 
- 5 -
 

 

 
The Company may be exposed to losses under its relationship with William Kirby, D.O., Inc.  The Company’s most significant exposure to loss in the relationship is under the management services agreement.  Losses could occur if the management fees are inadequate to cover the Company’s costs of providing the management services.  The Company is unable to estimate its maximum exposure to such losses.
 
The Company’s relationship and agreements with William Kirby, D.O., Inc. and Dr. Kirby are further described in Note 6, “Capital Lease Obligations (Related Party)”; Note 7, “Related Party Transactions” and Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies.”
 
Dr. Tattoff, Inc. formed two wholly owned subsidiaries, DRTHC I, LLC and DRTHC II, LLC, that are responsible for the operations of some of the clinics that the Company has established.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DRTHC I, LLC and DRTHC II, LLC.
 
NOTE 2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Dr. Tattoff, Inc. and subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. 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. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of the management of the Company, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but omits certain information and footnotes required for complete financial statements.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company adopted the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis.  ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This standard applies in situations where other accounting pronouncements either permit or require fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements.
 
Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
 
The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.
 
Level 2:
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.
 
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, related party payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, deferred revenue, accrued compensation, capital lease obligations, convertible promissory notes, notes payable, and warrant liabilities.  The carrying amounts of prepaid expenses and other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, related party payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, deferred revenue and accrued compensation approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments.  The carrying amounts of capital leases, convertible promissory notes, and notes payable approximates their fair value as these instruments earn or are charged interest based on prevailing rates. The fair value of warrants is measured using level 3 inputs.
 
Long-lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC No. 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of the impairment review, assets are reviewed on an asset-by-asset basis. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to future net cash flows on an undiscounted basis expected to be generated by such asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount which the carrying amount of the assets on an undiscounted basis exceeds the fair value of the assets.
 
- 6 -
 

 

 
The major long-lived assets of the Company are the lasers and Intense Pulse Light, or IPL, devices. While the Company has sustained losses, the clinics where the lasers and IPL devices are located are or are expected to be profitable. As a result, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to future net cash flows on an undiscounted basis expected to be generated by such asset in each clinic. In February 2014, the Company decided to close its Sugar Land, Texas (a suburb of Houston) clinic due to poor financial performance. The Company concluded that the capitalized tenant improvements were impaired and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $40,000 related to the closure. In February 2015, the Company entered into a mutual release and settlement agreement with the landlord pursuant to which the Company agreed to make payments totaling $87,000 over a period of two years to the landlord. There have been no other impairments.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Management Services Revenues
 
Through March 31, 2015, the majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from management services provided to William Kirby D.O., Inc., a related party, for our non-owned clinics.  The Company provides nonmedical services and facilities based on contractual prices established in advance that extend continuously over a set time for a fixed percentage of the contracting physician’s gross revenues (as defined in the Management Services Agreement - See Note 7, “Related Party Transactions”) with no upfront fees paid by William Kirby D.O., Inc.  The management services agreement with William Kirby D.O., Inc. covers all of the Company’s California locations.
 
 Under the management service agreement with William Kirby D.O., Inc., there is no right to refund or rejection of services.  The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.  Management services fees are paid by the contracting physician to the Company on a bi-weekly basis as earned, which is when the Company has substantially performed management services pursuant to the terms of the management services agreement with William Kirby D.O., Inc.
 
Owned Clinic Revenues 
 
The Company operates the Dallas, Frisco, Ft. Worth, Houston, Atlanta and Phoenix locations directly, not pursuant to a management services agreement with a physician. Accordingly, patients contract with the Company and pay for the services they receive directly to the Company.  The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.  The Company requires payment at the time of the patient visit or in advance of the visit by those patients purchasing packages of treatments. Payments by patients made in advance of service delivery are recorded as “deferred revenue” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amounted to approximately $1,691,000 at March 31, 2015 and $1,529,000 at December 31, 2014.
 
Patients who purchase a package of tattoo removal services at clinics the Company operates directly are eligible to participate in the Company’s tattoo removal guarantee program.  Pursuant to the guarantee program, if the tattoo is not fully removed within the recommended number of treatments, the Company will continue to provide additional treatments, consistent with the Company’s medical protocols, for a period of up to one year following the date of the last paid treatment.  The Company estimates the cost of the guarantee program based on historical usage and the average cost of treatments.  The cost of the program is accrued on a per visit basis as visits occur and is included in clinic operating expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  The Company recognized accrued expense of approximately $148,000 and $132,000 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, related to the guarantee program, and this is included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Patients who purchase a package of services and experience complete removal prior to completion of the package are eligible for a refund for the unused portion of the package.  The Company recognizes refunds, which have been immaterial in amount, as a reduction in revenue as incurred.  Patients who receive services in clinics operated under the management services agreement with William Kirby, D.O., Inc. are eligible for similar programs, which may reduce the management fee that the Company receives.
 
Advertising Costs
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $117,000 and $110,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740 “Income taxes.”  Under ASC 740, deferred income taxes are recognized to reflect the tax consequences in future years for the differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for income tax reporting purposes using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized.
 
The Company has incurred tax net operating losses since inception and, accordingly, has a deferred tax asset related to such tax net operating loss carryforwards.  The Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on such deferred tax asset at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
 
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on the measurement, derecognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, as well as the accounting for related interest and penalties.  The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties that would be assessed in relation to the settlement value of unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.  The Company has recognized no tax related interest or penalties since the adoption of ASC 740-10.  As of March 31, 2015, the open tax years of the Company were 2009 to 2013.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In computing diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the Company reports net income and the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options. Options, warrants and conversions of convertible debt instruments were not included in computing diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, because their effects were antidilutive.

Accounting for Common Stock Options
 
The Company measures stock-based compensation expense from the issuance of options to acquire common stock at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes the expense over the employee’s requisite service (vesting) period using the straight-line method.  The measurement of stock-based compensation expense is based on several criteria including, but not limited to, the valuation model used and associated input factors, such as expected term of the award, stock price volatility, risk free interest rate and forfeiture rate.  Certain of these inputs are subjective to some degree and are determined based in part on management’s judgment.  The Company recognizes the compensation expense on a straight-line basis for its graded vesting awards.  Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  However, the cumulative compensation expense recognized at any point in time must at least equal the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at that date. As used in this context, the term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations”, and refers only to the unvested portion of the surrendered equity awards.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include those related to the realization of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, and the valuation of equity instruments issued.
 
Concentrations
 
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and revenues. The Company’s cash is maintained at financial institutions in the United States. These accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At times, such balances may be in excess of the amounts insured by the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risks on cash.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 59% and 66% of the Company’s revenues were derived from a management services agreement with William Kirby, D.O., Inc. relating to the Company’s California clinics. The management services agreement with William Kirby, D.O., Inc. terminated in May 2015 and the Company entered into a new management services agreement with SC Laser, Inc., a company owned by an unrelated physician. If the Company’s management services agreement is terminated for any reason or SC Laser, Inc. defaults on its obligations thereunder, the Company’s operating results, cash flows and financial performance may be adversely affected and the Company may need to negotiate and enter into a new agreement with a qualified physician. Although the Company’s management services agreement provides the Company with the right to approve a replacement contracting physician upon termination or default, the Company can give no assurance that it will be able to expeditiously identify and contract with a qualified replacement physician on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The termination of the Company’s management services agreement could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) that updates the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also amends the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year. The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of the new standard on its existing revenue recognition policies and procedures.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)(“ASU 2014-15”), which is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect that this new guidance will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810)(“ASU 2015-02”), which provides consolidation guidance and changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate consolidation for limited partnerships, investment companies and similar entities, as well as variable interest entities. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this standard.
 
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This standard amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

NOTE 4.     REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
 
In December 2013, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit with a lender with an initial commitment of $1,300,000 and a maximum revolving commitment of $7,000,000. Increase in the commitment above $1,300,000 is at the sole and absolute discretion of the lender. The term of the revolving loan expires on June 2, 2015. The line of credit is secured by a second lien on all encumbered equipment of the Company and a first lien on all other assets of the Company.
 
The credit agreement requires that all receipts of the Company, except receipts received from investors and receipts from landlords for tenant improvement allowances, be deposited in a lockbox account controlled by the lender. Provided the Company is not in default, it can draw from the lockbox an amount equal to all of the funds deposited in the lockbox less fees and expenses due the lender and a mandatory principal repayment equal to 2% of the funds deposited in the lockbox. The Company deposited $130,000 in the lockbox account as a mandatory principal payment at the time that the loan closed and those funds are unavailable to the Company to draw upon. As a result, the Company recorded a $130,000 reduction in the loan balance. At March 31, 2015, the Company had deposits in the lockbox account of approximately $3,000 available for draw under the revolving line of credit. Cash deposited in the lockbox by the Company in excess of fees and expenses due the lender and the mandatory 2% principal payment are recorded as a further reduction in the loan balance.
 
The outstanding principal balance of the loan, which is reduced by funds in the lockbox account, bears interest at 10% per annum and requires a surcharge in the form of a receipts collection fee such that the aggregate interest and receipts collection fee do not exceed 1.5% of the outstanding principal per month. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay an asset monitoring fee of $1,500 per quarter and certain other expenses of the lender. In connection with the initial closing of the revolving line of credit, the Company paid the lender fees for transaction advisory services, due diligence, legal review and related expenses and finder’s fees totaling $136,850 in cash. Additionally, the Company paid a financial advisory firm $26,000 in cash for services in connection with the loan. 
 
In addition to the cash consideration, the Company issued 125,000 shares of its common stock to the lender. The common stock is subject to a make whole provision such that the value of the common stock issued to the lender is not less than nor can ever be more than $125,000. The Company also issued fully vested three-year, callable warrants to three organizations affiliated to the financial advisory firm to purchase up to an aggregate of 39,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $.78 per share in connection with the loan.  Loan costs were included in prepaid expenses and were amortized to interest expense over the initial six month term of the loan.
 
In August 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement (the “First Amendment”) with the lender pursuant to which the Company agreed to redeem the 125,000 shares of stock issued to the lender at a purchase price equal to one dollar per share payable in cash.  The redemption will occur at the rate of 10,000 shares per month, provided, however, any remaining shares must be redeemed in cash on the loan maturity date. In addition, the Company paid the lender $3,000 for legal fees and costs in connection with the First Amendment.  Through March 31, 2015, the Company has redeemed 80,000 shares of common stock and is obligated to repurchase the remaining 45,000 shares on or before the loan maturity date.
 
In February 2015 the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with the lender pursuant to which the Company agreed to make additional principal payments of $20,000 in each January and February 2015, $30,000 in March 2015, and $40,000 in each of April and May 2015. In addition, the Company paid the lender $3,000 for legal fees and costs in connection with the Second Amendment. The Company has made all of the required payments through March 31, 2015.
 
So long as the revolving note is outstanding, but only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, and subject to certain limitations, the lender may convert all or any portion of the amounts due it into common stock of the Company. Beginning with the first quarter of 2014 the Company is subject to a financial covenant which requires that its sales revenue be not less than 75% of its sales revenue for the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenant as of March 31, 2015.

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have entered into various loan agreements with third party lenders to finance equipment such as tattoo removal lasers, IPL devices for hair removal, and computer and telephone equipment. The loans typically have terms from two to five years and bear interest at rates from approximately 7 – 14% per annum and are collateralized by the equipment. All of the equipment promissory notes require the Company to maintain and insure the equipment secured by the note and pay personal property taxes thereon. Principal and interest payments on the loans are due monthly.

In March 2015, the Company and holders of its tenant improvement secured loans agreed to amend the terms of the agreements to extend the due date of both principal and interest until January 1, 2016. The holders received 235,837 shares of common stock in exchange for the 589,593 warrant shares that they held, an exchange ratio of .4 shares of common stock for each warrant share exchanged.  The difference between the estimated fair value of the common stock and the warrants exchanged of approximately $50,000 was recorded as debt discount and will be charged to interest expense and costs of financing over the term of the extension. Amortization of the debt discount for the tenant improvement secured loans was approximately $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
 
Unsecured Promissory Notes
 
Interim credit agreement

In 2014 the Company issued $1,050,000 of short-term unsecured promissory notes. The short-term unsecured promissory notes were issued to Board members and their affiliates, and certain parties who were already lenders or investors in the Company. The notes matured on April 30, 2014, and bore interest at 15% per annum, and were planned to be repaid from the proceeds of a $2 million convertible debt offering.  In addition to the 15% per annum interest, the holders were entitled to equity and a repayment premium if the notes were not repaid by certain dates. In December 2014, the Company entered into an amendment with all of the holders of these short-term unsecured promissory notes. Pursuant to the amendment, the holders agreed to extend the due date of the loan and extended the dates upon which interest to be paid in shares of Company common stock or as repayment premium would be due.  Pursuant to the amended terms, the maturity date has been extended to January 1, 2016 when all principal and interest, including interest in the form of common stock, will be due. The Company also redeemed 2,000,000 shares of common stock that had previously been issued to the holders. The Company recorded the redemption at an estimated fair value of $0.33 per share in 2014. The note holders earned four shares of common stock and a repayment premium equal to 100% of the principal amount on March 31, 2015 as the notes remained unpaid on that date. In the event that the notes are not repaid on the maturity date of January 1, 2016, the holders will be entitled to an additional one-quarter of one share of common stock and repayment premium equal to 10% for each dollar loaned to the Company.

Unsecured promissory notes

In March 2015, the Company and holders of $300,000 in principal amount of its unsecured promissory notes agreed to amend the terms of the agreements to extend the due date of both principal and interest until January 1, 2016. The holders received 501,946 shares of common stock in exchange for the 1,254,866 warrant shares that they held, an exchange ratio of .4 shares of common stock for each warrant share exchanged.  The difference between the estimated fair value of the common stock and the warrants exchanged of approximately $102,000 was recorded as debt discount and will be charged to interest expense and costs of financing over the term of the extension. Amortization of the debt discount for the amended unsecured promissory notes was approximately $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

As of December 31,2014, the Company had outstanding short-term notes to an officer and two significant shareholders in the amount of $813,156.

NOTE 8.     EQUITY
 
Common Stock
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 30,000 shares of its common stock from a lender as required pursuant to an amendment to the credit agreement.
 
In February 2015, the Company issued 5,150 shares of common stock valued at $1,700 to employees, except members of its senior management team, as a bonus.
 
In March 2015, the Company issued 1,811,070 shares of common stock to certain debt holders in exchange for 4,527,679 warrants to acquire shares of shares of common stock and an agreement to extend the maturity of the debt to January 1, 2016. The Company valued the common stock at $0.33 per share. The value of the warrants for 4,527,679 shares of common stock was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with inputs based on the underlying warrant. Such estimate was based on the following assumptions: value of one common share of $0.33; strike price ranging from $0.60 to $0.75, expected life from 2.2 years to 4.2 years, risk-free interest rate of ranging from approximately .14% to .95%,  volatility of approximately 42%; and expected dividend yield of zero. The Company decreased its warrant liability from approximately $9,932 to zero with respect to approximately 707,695 warrant shares that had been accounted for as debt warrants. The remaining difference between the estimated fair value of the common stock of approximately $598,000 and the warrants exchanged of approximately $165,000 was charged to debt discount and will be charged to interest expense and costs of financing over the term of the extension.
 
Stock Options
 
In April 2011, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Dr. Tattoff, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan for the purpose of granting incentive awards, including equity awards such as stock options or restricted stock, to certain officers, employees, directors, consultants and other service providers of our Company, to provide such recipients with additional incentives to enhance the value of our Company and encourage stock ownership. Under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, we can grant incentive and nonqualified options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock appreciation rights, other stock-based awards, which are settled in either cash or shares of our common stock and are determined by reference to shares of our stock (such as grants of restricted common stock, grants of rights to receive stock in the future or dividend equivalent rights) and cash performance awards, which are settled in cash and are not determined by reference to shares of our common stock.
 
The Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $12,000 and $29,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 related to the options and grants, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Overview
 
Our clinics provide safe, minimally invasive and affordable laser tattoo and hair removal services in a relaxed environment.  The services offered at our clinics are administered by licensed medical professionals in accordance with applicable state and Federal law.  We currently manage four clinics located in southern California pursuant to a management services agreement with a contracting physician.  This arrangement is structured to comply with a California state limitation on the corporate practice of medicine.  In addition, we own and operate six clinics, in Dallas, Frisco, Ft. Worth and Houston Texas, in Atlanta, Georgia and in Phoenix, Arizona.  We opened a Sugar Land, Texas clinic in March 2013 (which was closed in February 2014) and the Atlanta location opened in October 2013.  We opened a location in Frisco, Texas (a suburb of Dallas) in March 2014 and a location in Ft. Worth, Texas in May 2014.  As we expand into other states, applicable state law will govern how we structure the provision of services in our new clinics.  Within this framework, we are seeking to become the first nationally branded laser tattoo and hair removal business. 
 
Throughout this report, the terms “our clinics” and “our facilities” refer to the laser tattoo and hair removal clinics we currently manage or operate, or will manage or operate in the future, in accordance with applicable state and Federal law; and the terms “the business” and “our business” refer to the business of owning, operating and/or managing our clinics.
 
            We have supported the provision of over 340,000 procedures to more than 30,000 patients during our operating history. Our first clinic opened in Beverly Hills, California in July 2004.  We opened two clinics in 2011, two in 2012, two in 2013, and one each in the first and second quarter of 2014.
 
We differentiate the services offered at our clinics from those of competitors by: 
 
      focusing solely on tattoo and hair removal;
 
      providing services in a relaxed environment;
 
      optimizing the location of our clinics; and
 
      catering to our target demographic.
 
            Our initial expansion focus is on large metropolitan markets that can support multiple clinic locations with favorable demographics, regulatory environments and competitive landscapes. We are currently evaluating potential clinic sites in several states and have identified over 40 other viable markets in the United States for expansion, however, our financial limitations have severely limited our ability to expand.  We estimate our cash requirements for each new clinic to be approximately $300,000, to be applied toward various start-up costs, including leasehold improvements, marketing expenses, equipment acquisition, supplies and personnel. Absent additional investment from investors we will be unable to open additional clinics in the foreseeable future.

Our laser tattoo removal services are performed by licensed medical professionals using Q-switched lasers and our hair removal services are similarly performed by licensed medical professionals using laser and/or Intense Pulse Light, or IPL, devices, in each case, with physician oversight in compliance with applicable state law.  From time to time, our affiliated physicians evaluate the lasers used to perform procedures at the applicable clinic(s) and may recommend the use of new or additional technology.
 
            With respect to our clinics, the amount of revenue generated by a clinic, whether for the Company directly (with respect to our Texas, Georgia and Arizona locations) or for our California locations operated under a management services agreement is primarily a function of the size and characteristics of the tattoo and the area of the body to be treated for hair reduction, less any refunds.  Under our management services agreement, our management services fee is based on a percentage of the contracting physician’s gross revenues.  The costs of operating our California clinics are predominantly fixed or have a relatively small variable component, principally supplies.  As a result, the contracting physician’s procedure volume can have a significant impact on our level of profitability since we operate under a fixed percentage of gross revenues arrangement.  With respect to the clinics we operate directly, the costs of operating our clinics, not only include those that are fixed or have a relatively small variable component, principally supplies, but also include the expenses related to the personnel to staff the clinics.  
 
The majority of patients, approximately 90%, pay for services using a debit or credit card or outside financing agencies whose services both we and our contracting physicians offer.  Historically, the outside financing agencies we and our contracting physician use offer non-recourse programs.  If the agency is unable to collect from the patient, it bears the cost thereof except in infrequent cases where there is a charge-back.  We evaluate alternative patient financing programs from time-to-time and may utilize alternative programs and recommend them to our contracting physicians, including recourse programs.  Both we and our contracting physicians offer a refund if a tattoo is fully removed in a lesser number of treatments than the patient has purchased, and occasionally in other circumstances.  Refunds and charge-backs were approximately 2.4% of receipts in the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Refunds and charge-backs incurred by our contracting physician result in a reduction of our management fee and refunds and charge-backs in our owned clinics reduce our revenue.  Deterioration in the availability of consumer credit is likely to negatively impact our results. Neither we nor our contracting physicians offer direct patient financing but we (and our contracting physicians) offers a program whereby patients can pay monthly via automatic charge.  Currently, patients may cease participation in the program at any time and no interest is charged.  The program was developed to meet the needs of patients who are unable to finance a purchase using a credit card or outside financing agencies.  Less than 2% of patient charges are generated in this manner.
 
            Effective marketing is an integral factor in our ability to generate patients and service fees for our own clinics and management service revenues in clinics operated under a management services arrangement.  Our marketing efforts have traditionally focused on our website and its placement on search engines, email campaigns directed towards existing patients, and word of mouth referral.  We also use outdoor and radio advertising. The purpose of our marketing is to educate prospective patients about the advantages of laser tattoo and laser/IPL hair removal compared to alternatives and to attract them to our clinics.
 
            Our clinics offer gift certificates that may be used in any of our clinics, including those operated pursuant to a management services agreement.  The sale of gift certificates is included in our contracting physician’s gross revenue for purposes of calculating our management fee.  Sales of gift certificates represent less than .5% of revenue.
 
            The fees generated through our management services agreement, as well as the revenues from our owned clinics have historically been weak in the fourth quarter.  We believe that patients are less inclined to purchase discretionary services in the months of November and December as they have atypical demands on both their time and financial resources.
 
            Our revenues have continued to increase despite relatively unfavorable economic conditions.  However, we do not have sufficient history to predict what may occur if economic conditions in the United States deteriorate.  We believe that the typical customer of the services offered at our clinics is young, educated and affluent with adequate disposable income to afford the services.  However, tattoo and hair removal is discretionary for most individuals and they may delay or forego removal if faced with a reduction in income or increase in non-discretionary expenses.  We also believe that relatively poor economic conditions have resulted in increased pressure on pricing and an expectation of greater value for the money by patients.  Management believes that such pricing pressure is a result of a decrease in consumer confidence in economic conditions and their employment prospects together with the increased availability of competitive pricing information on the Internet.  In addition, we believe that a portion of our core demographic is attracted to coupon programs such as those offered by Group on and Living Social, particularly with respect to hair removal where we face a larger number of competitors.
 
            Our operating costs and expenses include:
 
 
clinic operating expenses, including rent, utilities, parking and related costs to operate the clinics, laser equipment, maintenance costs, supplies, non-medical staff expenses for managed clinics and all staff expenses for owned locations and insurance;
 
 
general and administrative costs, including corporate staff expense and other overhead costs;
 
 
marketing and advertising costs including marketing staff expense and the cost of outside advertising; and
 
 
depreciation and amortization of equipment and leasehold improvements.
 
We opened a location in Sugar Land, Texas in March 2013 (which was closed in February 2014 after showing disappointing results), a location in Atlanta in October 2013, a location in Frisco, Texas in March 2014, and a location in Ft. Worth, Texas in May 2014, and may open additional clinics in 2015 and thereafter assuming that the availability of growth capital exists, we can maintain a highly skilled management team, and our business model is shown to be successful in varying markets.  To our knowledge, there is currently no nationally branded provider of laser tattoo and hair removal services and the opportunity to gain first mover advantage is the motivation behind our aggressive expansion plan.  To be successful, we believe that our new locations must be in areas attractive to our demographic, that our clinic staff must be adequately trained and motivated, and that our marketing programs must be effective.
 
            We require substantial capital to fund our growth and will continue to seek substantial amounts of capital to effectuate our business plan. We have experienced significant negative cash flow from operations to date, and we expect to continue to experience negative cash flow in the near future.  Our inability to generate sufficient funds from operations and external sources will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  If we are not able to raise additional funds, we will be forced to significantly curtail or cease our operations. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for additional information.

Management Services Revenues
 
            Our primary source of revenues through March 31, 2015, consisted of fees paid under a management services agreement with William Kirby, D.O., Inc. related to clinics operated by that entity in California.  Pursuant to the management services agreement, we provide certain non-medical management, administrative, marketing and support services and equipment as an independent contractor to the practice sites where William Kirby, D.O., Inc. provides or supervises laser tattoo and hair removal services..  The Company has responsibility for most of the operations of the business conducted at the clinics, except for the dispensing of patient care services, in accordance with California state law.   Effective January 1, 2010, we entered into an amended and restated management services agreement with William Kirby, D.O., Inc. which terminated effective May 2, 2015.  Dr. William Kirby, a former member of our board of directors, is the sole shareholder of William Kirby, D.O., Inc.  Pursuant to the management services agreement, the percentage management fee that we receive is subject to annual adjustment and was decreased from 73.5% to 70.3%, effective January 1, 2012.  Under the agreement we absorb the cost of advertising while William Kirby, D.O., Inc. absorbs the cost of credit card fees and discounts which were approximately 5% of cash collections for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Advertising costs provided under the management services agreement were approximately 8.5% of our management service revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Immediately following the termination of the management services agreement with William Kirby, D.O., Inc., the Company entered into a new management services agreement with similar terms with SC Laser, Inc. which is owned by an unrelated physician.
 
Because the source of the majority of our revenue has been through our management services agreement, our financial performance could be negatively impacted by unfavorable developments in that business. Fee for service receipts of William Kirby D.O., Inc., less refunds, increased by approximately $5,000 or .5% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 when compared to the prior year.  Credit card fees and discounts increased by approximately $10,000. Accordingly, our management fees, which are a percentage of the fee for service receipts of William Kirby, D.O., Inc. decreased by approximately $3,000. Dr. Kirby’s staff compensation expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2015 when compared to the prior year.  As a result, William Kirby, D.O., Inc. experienced a cash basis profit in the first quarter of 2015. In the event that William Kirby, D.O. Inc. incurs losses, it may not have adequate cash to meet its obligations to us and it may seek changes in the management services agreement that would unfavorably impact our financial results.  The financial information related to William Kirby, D.O., Inc. included herein is on a cash and not accrual basis, and has not been prepared on a GAAP basis consistently applied.  As a result, the foregoing financial information related to William Kirby, D.O., Inc. is not directly comparable to the financial information prepared on a GAAP basis regarding the Company that is included in this report.
 
Owned Clinic Revenues
 
            Funds from operations from our Dallas, Frisco, Ft. Worth, Houston, Phoenix, and Atlanta clinics serve as an additional source of revenue.  In connection with our Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, Atlanta and Phoenix clinics, we entered into consulting physician agreements with licensed physicians, pursuant to which those physicians, or other physicians engaged by those physicians provide to our clinics (i) medical director services, (ii) assistance with the creation of clinic protocols and (iii) supervisory and consulting services regarding equipment procurement and operation, in each case consistent with applicable state and Federal laws and regulations.

Revenues. Revenues increased by approximately $113,000, or 11%, to approximately $1,188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to approximately $1,075,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Same store revenue, representing revenue from clinics open more than one year, increased by approximately 5% when compared to the comparable period of the prior year to approximately $1,105,000. Two clinics opened in 2014 accounted for increased revenue of approximately $78,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 when compared to the prior year.  Aggregate cash collections at all clinics (including those of William Kirby, D.O., Inc.) increased by approximately $82,000 or 5% to $1,714,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to approximately $1,632,000 for the comparable period of the prior year. Cash collections, and ultimately revenue, are primarily impacted by the number of patients who are scheduled for a consultation. The consultation is typically the first time that a patient comes to one of our clinics during which they will have the tattoo evaluated and will be quoted a price. If the patient decides to proceed with the removal, they typically start treatment on the same day. The number of scheduled consultation appointments is a function of our ability to market and advertise, particularly in newer clinics that do not have an established base of customers or the benefit of longer term market presence. Scheduled tattoo consultations were 3,402 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 3,276 for the comparable period of the prior year. Cash collections per scheduled consultation were approximately $481 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $479 for the comparable period of the prior year. Our inability to provide adequate marketing support has impacted performance at our clinics.

Clinic Operating Expenses. Clinic operating expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and benefits for the employees who work at our owned clinics and salaries, wages and benefits for the non-medical employees who work at our managed clinics, rent and utilities for all clinic premises, and supplies.   Clinic operating expenses increased by 6% in the aggregate and decreased 14% as a percentage of revenues to approximately $962,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 versus approximately $1,021,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2014 included approximately $187,000 in expenses related to a clinic we closed in Sugar Land, Texas. Operating expenses in our other clinics increased by approximately $128,000, of which approximately $104,000 relates to two clinics opened in early 2014.
 
General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses include the salaries, wages and benefits for the employees who support the clinics including operational, legal and medical-professional oversight, finance and accounting, payroll and personnel, information technology, and risk management.  Also included in our general and administrative expenses are professional fees paid to our attorneys, accountants, medical director and other advisors.  General and administrative expenses also include insurance, travel, supplies and other costs associated with our corporate functions.  General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $315,000 to approximately $430,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 when compared to $745,000 in the prior year.  We took a number of steps to reduce our expenses in light of our continued financial challenges including the elimination of positions, reduction in management compensation and bonuses resulting in a decrease of approximately $126,000 in salaries and benefits. We eliminated our corporate medical director resulting in a savings of approximately $62,000. We had incurred approximately $60,000 in consulting fees in 2014 related to our efforts to raise capital. Stock compensation expense was reduced by approximately $17,000 as a result of a lower level of grant activity. Corporate travel expense decreased by approximately$36,000 as we did not open any clinics in the first quarter of 2015.
 
Marketing and Advertising Expenses. Marketing and advertising expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and benefits and the cost of outside advertising. Historically we have relied principally on internet advertising.  During 2010, we began advertising using outdoor billboards in addition to our internet advertising, and we explore other advertising opportunities from time to time, such as radio and other forms of outreach.  We also vary our marketing and advertising expenditures to respond to competitive activities as well as changes in our financial resources.  We typically provide additional advertising support in a market when a new clinic is opening. Marketing and advertising expenses were approximately $147,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to approximately $141,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately $6,000. Our salary and benefit costs were approximately $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $35,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. We eliminated a part-time marketing assistant position to reduce costs. Our advertising costs in the three months ended March 31, 2015 were approximately $117,000 compared to $110,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. 
 
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization consist of depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements, medical equipment, and the furniture, computers, telephone systems and other equipment used in our operations.  Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 6% in the aggregate to approximately $141,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 versus approximately $133,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  An increase in depreciation and amortization related to the opening of two new clinics in 2014 of approximately $27,000 was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $8,000 related to a closed clinic and decreases related to fully depreciated assets.  
 
Interest Expense and Costs of Financing. Interest expense and costs of financing for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $349,000, a decrease of approximately $141,000 when compared to interest expense and costs of financing of $490,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  Interest expense and costs of financing in the first quarter of 2014 included approximately $136,000 in fees related to closing of our revolving line of credit. The first quarter of 2014 also include amortization of debt discount of $237,000 compared to $43,000 in the first quarter of 2015. These decreases were partially offset by interest expense on our interim credit agreement financing which was approximately $141,000 in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $0 in the prior year. Of our total interest expense of $349,000 and $490,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, only $84,000 and $91,000, respectively, was paid in cash.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $22,000 at March 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014, principally due to cash used in operating activities of $134,000, offset by cash provided by financing activities of $112,000.
 
Cash from operations, which includes the management fees we receive under our management fee agreements and service fees earned directly from patient services in our owned clinics represent our primary recurring source of funds, and less expenses, reflects the net loss from operations excluding non-cash charges, and changes in operating capital. The three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 reflected net cash used in operating activities of approximately $134,000 and $400,000, respectively.  While our clinics (both managed and owned) were able to generate aggregate positive cash flow from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, they were unable to generate enough positive cash flow to cover our overhead expenses.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively was $0 and $229,000, reflecting purchases of property and equipment. Our purchases of property and equipment in the first three months of 2014 were principally related to the clinic we opened in March 2014 in Frisco, Texas, and the clinic we opened in Ft. Worth, Texas in May 2014.
 
Net cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively was $112,000 and $445,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we received cash from the issuance of debt in private placements of $460,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 we received cash from the issuance of debt in private placements of $625,000.
 
The Company intends to use its available resources to open additional clinics. We have historically experienced significant negative cash flow from operations and we expect to continue to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the near future as we open new clinics. Accordingly, we expect to raise additional capital to fund our current operations and future expansion through the sale of equity securities and/or the issuance of debt. If we are unable to raise additional equity capital or issue debt, then we will not be able to grow our revenue and eliminate our operating losses. If that were to occur, management would attempt to reduce its professional fees, salaries, advertising and other costs and reduce operating cash requirements. The Company currently intends to raise additional capital and continue opening additional clinics but there can be no assurance that it will be successful.
 
Going Concern Issues
 
At March 31, 2015, the Company has accumulated losses approximating $19,138,000, current liabilities that exceeded its current assets by approximately $11,733,000, shareholders’ deficit of approximately $10,255,000, and has not yet produced operating income or positive cash flows from operations.  In the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss on operations of approximately $840,000. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is predicated on its ability to raise additional capital, increase sales and margins, and ultimately achieve sustained profitable operations. The uncertainty related to these conditions raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that the Company will need to continue to raise additional outside capital to expand the number of clinics in operation and reduce expenses to address its losses and ability to continue to operate. The Company intends to raise additional capital and continue opening additional clinics to achieve this goal. In the event that the Company is unsuccessful in raising adequate equity capital, management will attempt to reduce losses and preserve as much liquidity as possible. Steps management would likely take would include limiting capital expenditures, reducing expenses and leveraging the relatively few assets that it owns without encumbrance. A reduction in expenses would likely include personnel costs, professional fees, and marketing expenses. While management would attempt to achieve break-even or profitable operations through these steps, there can be no assurance that it will be successful.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings or other relationships with entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities.”
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As such, in accordance with the use of GAAP, our actual realized results may differ from management’s initial estimates as reported and such differences may be significant. Our most significant accounting estimates are those related to our consolidation policy, valuation of common stock, fair value measurements, uncertainty in income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as set forth below.
 
Consolidation Policy. The Company has various contractual relationships with William Kirby D.O., Inc. including a management services agreement, medical director’s agreement, equipment subleases and guarantees. The Company evaluated the various relationships between the parties to determine whether to consolidate William Kirby, D.O., Inc. as a variable interest entity pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of the interest and that it should not consolidate William Kirby, D.O., Inc. The Company’s conclusion was based upon an analysis of the various relationships and California state law restrictions on relationships between licensed professionals and businesses. To complete its analysis, management made assumptions regarding the relevance of certain factors, including state law requirements, which were given significant weight. In the event that state law should change, there should be material changes in the relationships or management’s judgment as to the relevance of various factors should change, the Company might determine that consolidation would be appropriate.
 
Valuation of Common Stock. There is presently no trading market for common stock or other equity instruments of the Company. Management’s estimates of stock compensation expense and derivative liability are dependent upon an estimated fair value of a share of Company common stock. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” establishes a hierarchy for measurement of fair value and requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs in measuring fair value and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Management estimates the fair value of a share of common stock primarily based upon the most recent actual purchases of common stock by unrelated third parties because it represents observable inputs, and management believes it is the most reliable estimate available. Management may adjust the value per share as the time period between when actual purchases have been made and the measurement date increases or if it determines that events subsequent to the last actual sale transaction materially impact the value of a share of common stock. Such changes in estimated value may have a material impact on stock compensation expense and derivative liabilities.
 
Fair Value Measurements. The Company estimates its derivative liabilities using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using such inputs as management deems appropriate. The Black-­Scholes option pricing model requires the use of input assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, expected dividend rate and expected risk-free rate of return. The assumptions for expected volatility and expected life are the two assumptions that significantly affect the fair value. Changes in the expected dividend rate and expected risk-free rate of return do not significantly impact the calculation of fair value, and determining these inputs is not highly subjective. Because there is no trading market for the Company’s common stock or any of its warrants or other derivative liabilities, the Company cannot calculate actual volatility. Management has estimated volatility by selecting a group of companies, deemed by management to be similar. Changes in fair value estimates may have a material impact on the measurement of derivative liabilities.
 
Uncertainty in Income Taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10 (formerly FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” effective January 1, 2010. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. ASC 740 requires significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position. Changes in judgment as to recognition or measurement of tax positions can materially affect the estimate of the effective tax rate.
 
Valuation Allowance for Deferred Tax Assets. Deferred tax assets arise when we recognize charges or expenses in our financial statements that will not be allowed as income tax deductions until future periods. The term deferred tax asset also includes unused tax net operating losses and tax credits that we are allowed to carry forward to future years. Accounting rules permit us to carry deferred tax assets on the balance sheet at full value as long as it is “more likely than not” that the deductions, losses or credits will be used in the future. A valuation allowance must be recorded against a deferred tax asset if this test cannot be met. The accounting rules state that a company with a recent history of losses would have a difficult, perhaps impossible, time supporting a position that utilization of its deferred tax assets was more likely than not to occur.
 
We believe that the operating loss incurred by the Company in the current year, and the cumulative losses incurred in prior years, represent sufficient evidence to determine that the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is appropriate. Until an appropriate level of profitability is attained, we expect to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets.
 
The estimates, judgments and assumptions used by us under “Capitalization Policy,” “Valuation of Common Stock,” “Fair Value Measures,” “Uncertainty in Income Taxes” and “Valuation Allowance for Deferred Tax Assets” are, we believe, reasonable, but involve inherent uncertainties as described above, which may or may not be controllable by management. As a result, the accounting for such items could result in different amounts if management used different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods.

Significant Accounting Policies
 
The Company has defined a significant accounting policy as one that is both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management of the Company to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments. These estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes.
 
We have identified the policies set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our financial statements as significant to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout MD&A, where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the discussion set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our financial statements addresses our most significant accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal financial officer) as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the most recent quarter of the Company that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
 
We are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings. We may, however, become involved in litigation from time to time relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of such claims would have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and prospects.
 
 
We filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2015, which sets forth our risk factors in Item 1A therein. 
 
 
The following summarizes all sales of our unregistered securities during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The securities in the below-referenced transactions were (i) issued without registration and (ii) were subject to restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the private offering exemptions contained in Sections 4(2), 4(5) and/or 3(b) of the Securities Act and on Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws as a transaction not involving a public offering. Unless stated otherwise, no placement or underwriting fees were paid in connection with these transactions. Proceeds from the sales of these securities were used for general working capital purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness. The securities are deemed restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act.
 
In February 2015, the Company issued 5,150 shares of common stock to employees, except members of its senior management team, as a bonus.
 
In March 2015, the Company issued 1,811,070 shares of common stock to certain debt holders in exchange for their related warrants and an agreement to extend the maturity of the debt to January 1, 2016.
