ActiveCare, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


1.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of ActiveCare, Inc. (the "Company" or "ActiveCare") have been prepared in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, and the results of its operations for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and its cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.  The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2016 may not be indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2017.
Going Concern
The Company continues to incur negative cash flows from operating activities and net losses.  The Company had minimal cash, negative working capital and negative total equity as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, and is in default with respect to certain debt.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In order for the Company to eliminate substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, it must achieve profitability, generate positive cash flows from operating activities and obtain the necessary debt or equity funding to meet its projected capital investment requirements.  Management's plans with respect to this uncertainty consist of raising additional capital by issuing debt or equity securities and increasing the sales of the Company's services and products.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or that revenues will increase rapidly enough to achieve operating profits.  If the Company is unable to increase revenues or obtain additional financing, it will be unable to continue the development of its products and services and may have to cease operations.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures the fair values of its assets and liabilities using the US GAAP hierarchy.  The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on current market pricing models. The carrying amounts reported for notes payable approximate fair values because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.
2.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

8

Diluted net loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average dilutive potential common shares outstanding.  The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants and options, shares issuable from restricted stock grants, and shares issuable pursuant to convertible notes and convertible Series D, Series E and Series F preferred stock.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were certain outstanding potential common shares that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive for the periods then ended.  The potential common shares outstanding consist of the following as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:
 
 
 
2016
   
2015
 
Common stock options and warrants

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, August 2015 and May 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ASU 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date, and ASU 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, respectively, which implement ASC Topic 606. ASC Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP, including industry-specific guidance. It also requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information that enable financial statements users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. These ASUs may be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard sets forth management's responsibility to evaluate, each reporting period, whether there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and if so, to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2017. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its evaluation of going concern.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The purpose of ASU 2015-11 is to more closely align the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2015-11 requires entities to measure most inventory at the "lower of cost or net realizable value." Additionally, some of the amendments are designed to more clearly articulate the requirements for the measurement and disclosure of inventory. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2017. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases.  The purpose of ASU 2016-02 is to establish the principles to report transparent and economically neutral information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. This guidance results in a more faithful representation of the rights and obligations arising from operating and capital leases by requiring lessees to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases in the statement of financial position and to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about lease transactions, such as information about variable lease payments and options to renew and terminate leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2019. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The purpose of ASU 2016-09 is to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equities or liabilities, and classification of amounts in the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2017.  The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this update provided guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This update is to provide specific guidance on each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
4.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts.  Specific reserves are estimated by management based on certain assumptions and variables, including the customer's financial condition, age of the customer's receivables and changes in payment histories.  Accounts receivable are written off when management determines the likelihood of collection is remote.  A receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance has not been received by the contractual payment date.  Interest is not charged on accounts receivable that are past due.  The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $97,668 and $75,161 as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively.
5.
Inventory
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market value, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventory consists of diabetic supplies.  Inventory held by distributors is reported as inventory until the supplies are shipped to the end user by the distributor.  The Company estimates an inventory reserve for obsolescence and excessive quantities.  Due to competitive pressures and technological innovation, it is possible that estimates of net realizable values could change in the near term.  Inventory consists of the following as of:
 
   
December 31,
2016

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

Derivatives Liability
The derivatives liability as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, was $2,628,506 and $2,054,071, respectively. The derivatives liability as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016 is related to a variable conversion price adjustment on outstanding notes payable and warrants.  A portion of derivatives liability as of December 31, 2015, and all of the derivatives outstanding as of September 30, 2015, were eliminated during February 2016, due to the conversion of notes payable into shares of common stock.
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company estimated the fair value of some of the embedded derivatives upon issuance at the end of each reporting period using a binomial option-pricing model with the following assumptions, according to the instrument: exercise price of $21 per share; risk free interest rate of 0.85%; expected life of 1.03 years; expected dividends of 0%; volatility factor of 260.57%; and stock price of $21.  During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company estimated the fair value of the remaining embedded derivatives upon issuance and at the end of each reporting period using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions: exercise prices ranging from $5 to $25 per share; risk free interest rates ranging from 0.44% to 1.99%; expected lives ranging from 0.09 to 4.88 years; expected dividends of 0%; volatility factors of 151%; and stock prices ranging from $5 to $25.
20

During fiscal year 2016, the Company estimated the fair value of some of the embedded derivatives upon issuance, at the end of each reporting period and prior to their conversion and elimination using a binomial option-pricing model with the following assumptions, according to the instrument: exercise prices ranging from $14.50 to $46.75 per share; risk free interest rates ranging from 0.16% to 1.06%; expected lives ranging from 0.05 to 2.09 years; expected dividends of 0%; volatility factors ranging from 125.33% to 510.03%; and stock prices ranging from $15 to $70. During fiscal 2016, the Company estimated the fair value of the remaining embedded derivatives upon issuance and at the end of each reporting period using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions: exercise prices ranging from $10 to $200 per share; risk free interest rates ranging from 0.18% to 1.44%; expected lives ranging from 0.04 to 6.40 years; expected dividends of 0%; volatility factors of 129% to 189%; and stock prices ranging from $10 to $200 per share.  The expected lives of the instruments were equal to the average term of the conversion option or expected exercise period of the warrants.  The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company's common stock.  The risk-free interest rate represents the US Treasury constant maturities rate for the expected life of the related conversion option. The dividend yield represents anticipated cash dividends to be paid over the expected life of the conversion option.  The Company recognized a gain on derivatives liability for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, of $22,057 and $46,311, respectively.

Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
During fiscal year 2013, the Board of Directors designated shares of preferred stock as Series E Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series E Preferred"), convertible into common stock at $500 per share, adjustable if there are distributions of common stock or stock splits by the Company.  The Series E Preferred is non-voting and receives a monthly dividend of 3.322% for 25 to 32 months.  In addition, the convertibility and the redemption price of the Series E Preferred is gradually reduced by dividend payments over 25 to 32 months.  After the dividend payment term, the redemption price of Series E Preferred is $0, the Series E Preferred has no convertibility to common stock and the holders are entitled to receive a pro-rata share of cumulative royalties totaling 4% of the Company's gross profits payable quarterly for a two-year period.
During the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company accrued dividends of $34,178 and $84,572, respectively, payable to Series E Preferred. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the aggregate redemption price for the Series E Preferred was $477,829.  Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Company entered into a letter agreement with a director, who owns 13,843 of Series E Preferred who agreed to convert his Series E Preferred into shares of common stock, contingent upon the Company's completion the Offering (see Note 18).
Series F Convertible Preferred Stock
During fiscal year 2014, the Board of Directors designated 7,803 shares of preferred stock as Series F Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series F Preferred").  In April 2014, the Company increased the authorized shares of Series F Preferred  to 10,000.  Series F Preferred is non-voting, has a stated value of $1,000 per share and is convertible into common stock at $166.85 per share (see Note 12).  Series F Preferred has a dividend rate, payable quarterly, of 8% until April 30, 2015, 16% from May 1, 2015 to July 31, 2015, 20% from August 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015, and 25% thereafter.  In February 2016, the Company redeemed all 5,361 outstanding shares and $673,848 of accrued dividends for 20,005 shares of common stock, $5,900,000 of notes payable and exchanged warrants for the purchase of 11,070 shares of common stock held by Series F Preferred stockholders for new warrants with new terms for the purchase of the same number of shares (see Note 15).  The Company recorded a deemed dividend of $6,484,236 as a result of the transactions.

Common Stock
In April 2014, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares.
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock.
15.
Common Stock Options and Warrants
The fair value of each stock option or warrant is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option-pricing model or the Monte Carlo valuation model.  The expected life of stock options or warrants represents the period of time that the stock options or warrants are expected to be outstanding, based on the simplified method.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company's common stock, among other factors.  The Company uses the simplified method within the binomial option-pricing valuation model due to the Company's short trading history.  The risk-free rate related to the expected term of the stock options or warrants is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  The dividend yield is zero.
During fiscal 2016, the Company granted warrants to purchase 24,032 common shares with an exercise price of $32.50 per share in connection with the acquisition of a note payable and line of credit; warrants for the purchase of 14,786 shares vested immediately, 3,696 vested upon the disbursement of the second tranche of the related note payable, and 5,550 vest evenly in the event of three available increases on the related line of credit (see Note 9). The warrants expire in February 2023, may be exercised via cashless exercise and are puttable upon expiration or liquidation for the greater of $500,000 or up to 6.5% of the equity value of the Company, depending on the number of warrants vested. The fair value of the warrants upon grant of $3,731,969 was recorded as a derivative and the Company received cash of $2,967 upon issuance of the warrants. The Company recognized $1,419,541 as debt discount for the portion allocated to the note payable and the debt discount is being amortized over the life of the note payable to interest expense. During September 2016, the Company entered into a conditionally effective warrant cancellation agreement with the warrant holders (see Note 17).
During February 2016, the Company exchanged warrants held by the holders of its Series F Preferred for the purchase of 11,070 shares of common stock in connection with the redemption of Series F Preferred for new warrants for the purchase of the same number of shares on different terms. The new warrants were initially exercisable for $150 per share, adjustable to any lower rates granted through equity sales or other conversion rates provided by issuances of other debt, warrants, options or other instruments, with the exception of certain other raises. During September 2016, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of common stock that adjusted the warrants to have an exercise price per share equal to the lesser of (i) 80% of the per share price of the common stock of the offering, (ii) $25 per share, (iii) 80% of the unit price in the offering (if applicable), or (iv) the exercise price of any warrants issued in the offering. The new warrants expire in February 2021, and may be exercised via cashless exercise . Additional warrants for the purchase of 16,000 shares of common stock may be issued in the event of default on the related notes payable, exercisable at $0.50 per share, with 25% issuable upon the first event of default, 37.5% upon the second event, and 37.5% upon the third event. The warrants issuable upon default expire in February 2026 (if issued), may be exercised via cashless exercise , and are puttable upon expiration or liquidation with the primary warrants. The new warrants may only be exercised to the extent the respective holder would own a maximum of 4.99% of the Company's common stock after exercise, but the holders may elect to increase the maximum to 9.99%. The Company recognized a deemed dividend of $6,484,236 as a result of the exchange and related redemption of Series F Preferred.
22


During September 2016, the Company granted warrants to purchase 20,000 shares in connection with the acquisition of a note payable at an exercise price per share equal to the lesser of (i) 80% of the per share price of the common stock of the offering, (ii) $25 per share, (iii) 80% of the unit price in the offering (if applicable), or (iv) the exercise price of any warrants issued in the offering. Upon the closing of the offering, the number of shares issuable under the warrant will reset to an amount of shares equal to the aggregate exercise amount of the warrants (as defined therein) divided by the exercise price then in effect. The warrants expire in September 2021, and may be exercised via cashless exercise. The warrants may only be exercised to the extent the holder would own a maximum of 9.99% of the Company's common stock after exercise. The Company recognized $220,000 of the $493,590 fair value of the warrants as a debt discount, which is being amortized over the life of the borrowing, and recognized the remaining $273,590 as a loss on derivatives liability. In the event the Company borrows additional amounts above the initial $500,000 under the note payable, the Company will be required to issue additional warrants with an aggregate exercise amount equal to 100% of the additional amount borrowed with similar terms to warrants issued as part of the initial borrowing. During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company borrowed an additional $500,000 on the note and issued warrants for the purchase of 20,000 shares of common stock with the same terms as the initial warrants. The Company recognized the $635,990 fair value of the warrants as a debt discount, which is being amortized over the remaining life of the borrowing. Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Company borrowed the remaining $500,000 on the note and issued warrants for the purchase of 20,000 shares of common stock with the same terms as the initial warrants.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company measured the fair value of warrants classified as liabilities on the date of issuance and on each re-measurement date using the Monte Carlo valuation model. For this liability, the Company and specialist developed their own assumptions that do not have observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value. This method of valuation involves using inputs such as the fair value of the Company's common stock, stock price volatility, the contractual term of the warrants, risk–free interest rates and dividend yields. Due to the nature of these inputs, the valuation of the warrants uses Level 3 measurements. The following assumptions were used:

During September 2016, the Company issued a note payable to a third party for up to $1,500,000.  The Company initially borrowed $500,000 under the note and may borrow up to $1,500,000 upon meeting certain milestones.  The Company subsequently drew an additional $500,000 under the note and issued additional warrants for the purchase of 20,000 shares of common stock at similar terms to warrants issued as part of the initial borrowing.  In the event the Company borrows any part of the remaining $500,000 available, the Company will be required to issue additional warrants with an aggregate exercise amount equal to 100% of the additional amount borrowed with similar terms to warrants issued as part of the initial borrowing.  Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Company borrowed the remaining $500,000 on the note and issued an additional warrant for the purchase of 20,000 shares of common stock (see Note 18).

During September 2016, the Company entered into a conditionally effective warrant cancellation agreement (the "Warrant Cancellation Agreement") with certain warrant holders who were issued the warrants in connection with a secured note payable and line of credit. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Cancellation Agreement, upon the Company's consummation of an equity financing of at least $15,000,000, the warrant holders agree to terminate and cancel the warrants they currently hold. As an inducement to enter into the Warrant Cancellation Agreement, the warrant holders will receive upon termination and cancelation of the warrants an aggregate of 10,800 shares of the Company's common stock, which will be subject to a 6-month lock-up agreement. Additionally, if the warrant holders terminate and cancel the warrants, the Company will issue the related note holder a new unsecured promissory note with an initial principal amount of $180,000, no cash interest, and a three-year term. In lieu of cash interest, the principal of the note will increase in the amount $3,333 each month not to exceed a maximum of $300,000.
During November 2016, the Company and a lender entered into a forbearance and consent under a loan and security agreement (the "November Forbearance Agreement").

These payments include, but are not limited to (i) payments to holders of the Company's Series E Preferred, (ii) third party note and receivable payments and (iii) repayment of an unsecured note payable issued in September 2016. The lender also consented to the issuance of the Company's Series G Preferred Stock to certain affiliates of the Company.  In consideration for the November Forbearance, the Company has agreed to issue the lender warrants to purchase 130,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the per share price of the common stock in the offering, which shall be subject to a 12-month lock-up agreement.  The $1,932,577 estimated fair value of the warrants has been included in accrued expenses as of December 31, 2016. The Forbearance set forth in the November Forbearance Agreement will be in effect through December 31, 2016.  Effective December 31, 2016, the Company and the lender entered into a forbearance and consent under loan and security agreement (the "December Forbearance"). Pursuant to the terms of the December Forbearance, the lender will forbear from exercising remedies with regard to certain breaches of agreements between the Company and the lender, including the existing agreements as well as the September Forbearance and November Forbearance.  Additionally, pursuant to the December Forbearance, the lender has provided the Company with the consent required under the Existing Agreements, September Forbearance and November Forbearance to make certain payments from the proceeds of the Company's Offering. In consideration for the December Forbearance, the Company has agreed to issue the lender warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the per share price of the common stock in the offering and $50,000 of common stock at 80% of the at the same issue price in of the offering, which shall be subject to a lock-up agreement.  The $148,677 estimated fair value of the warrants and $60,000 fair value of the stock has been included in accrued expenses as of December 31, 2016.  The forbearance set forth in the December Forbearance will be in effect through February 15, 2017.  Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the lender extended the December Forbearance period through March 31, 2017.
Effective November 1, 2016, the Board approved the 2016 Incentive Stock Option plan providing for the issuance of options to purchase up to 377,250 shares.  No shares have been approved under the Plan as of December 31, 2016.

On May 28, 2015, an investor of the Company filed a lawsuit claiming damages of $1,000,000 exclusive of interest and costs against the Company, a former Executive Chairman, an entity controlled by another former Executive Chairman, and 4G Biometrics, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for breach of contract.  The Company has engaged legal counsel regarding the matter.  It is not possible to predict the outcome of the matter at this time.  The Company intends to vigorously dispute the claims and believes it has meritorious defenses.

On November 4, 2015, the Company received a demand for payment of $275,000 from a former employee of the Company and former principal of 4G Biometrics whose employment was terminated for cause.  On December 4, 2015, the Company filed a complaint against the former owners of 4G Biometrics, including this former employee, seeking damages in excess of $300,000 related to alleged misrepresentations made to induce the Company to acquire 4G Biometrics.  Between February 4, 2016 and February 8, 2016, the Company settled the complaint with each of the former owners of 4G Biometrics and all parties released each other from all outstanding claims, including any current monetary obligations to each party, excluding one former owner of 4G Biometrics who continues to be employed by the Company.  A Stipulation for Order of Dismissal with Prejudice of all Claims and Counterclaims has been filed and is in the process of being approved.  The settlement resulted in the termination of $39,863 of related-party accounts payable.

(1)
On January 27, 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-500 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, which caused the then outstanding common stock to decrease from 115,112,802 to 232,100 while keeping the authorized capitalization unchanged.

On January 12, 2017, the Company entered into letter agreements (together the "Note Holder Letter Agreements") with eight (8) investors (each a "Note Holder" and together the "Note Holders") holding convertible notes payable whereby the Note Holders agreed to convert all monies due them under the Notes into restricted shares of common stock (the "Note Conversion Shares") and warrants to purchase common stock (the "Note Conversion Warrants" and together with the Note Conversion Shares, the "Note Conversion Securities"), all contingent upon the completion of the Company's contemplated public offering of securities. As incentive to enter into the Note Holder Letter Agreements, the Company agreed to add approximately $1,687,811 to the outstanding principal and interest as of October 31, 2016, effectively making the total obligation due to Note Holders an aggregate of $8,000,000 (the "Total Note Obligation"). Pursuant to the Note Holder Letter Agreements, the Total Note Obligation will automatically convert upon consummation of the offering into the Note Conversion Securities at the combined price per share and warrant paid by investors in the offering (the "Conversion Price"). The terms of the Note Conversion Warrants will be substantially similar to the Warrants being included in the offering, except such Note Conversion Warrants will be a restricted security and will not publicly trade on NASDAQ. In addition, the Note Holders currently hold warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,070 shares that will be terminated upon the consummation of the offering. In consideration of such termination, the Note Holders will be issued new warrants to purchase an identical number of shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the Conversion Price, as defined in the agreements. Each person entering into the Note Holder Letter Agreements have entered into lock-up agreements prohibiting the sale or other transfer of any securities of the Company owned by such persons for a period of 6 months.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by ActiveCare, Inc. (the "Company") from time to time with the SEC (collectively, the "Filings") contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company's management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company's management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "future," "intend," "plan," or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company's management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to the Company's business, industry, and the Company's operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
 
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
 
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management's judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.
 
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to assist in better understanding our operations and our present business environment.  This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the accompanying notes thereto, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
 
Overview
ActiveCare, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, formed March 5, 1998. Our fiscal year ends on September 30.

Our focus is on the monitoring of individuals with diabetes. Diabetes is a pandemic that, as of 2014, affected approximately 9% of the U.S. population or 29 million Americans. Studies have shown that the annual cost of treating an individual with diabetes and the comorbidities associated with the disease is approximately $13,700 per year. This combination costs the U.S. health system up to $245 billion annually. A major driver of diabetic-related claims is the lack of adherence to regular glucose monitoring. It is estimated that less than 20% of diabetics monitor their blood glucose levels on a regular basis, despite physician recommendations. ActiveCare offers what it believes to be a unique approach to caring for chronic illnesses such as diabetes by adding a "human touch" and monitoring component to traditional disease management. To that end, ActiveCare has created a "CareCenter" where its highly trained staff reaches out to assist its members in real-time. Historically, disease management, such as diabetes has been reserved for only the extreme high risk and high claim members. However, the ActiveCare solution brings clarity and light to the diabetic population, identifying who needs help today. Knowing who to worry about allows for the necessary action to be taken today to avoid major and costly events in the future.

Going Concern

We have financed operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, long-term debt and short-term debt. Until revenues are sufficient to meet our needs, we will continue to attempt to secure financing through equity or debt securities. We continue to incur negative cash flows from operating activities and net losses. We had minimal cash, negative working capital, and negative total equity as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, and are in default with respect to certain debt. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
In order for us to eliminate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, we must achieve profitability, generate positive cash flows from operating activities and obtain the necessary debt or equity funding to meet our projected capital investment requirements. Our management's plans with respect to this uncertainty consist of raising additional capital by issuing debt or equity securities and increasing the sales of our products and services. If we are successful in completing the Offering, we believe the net proceeds of the Offering together with anticipated growth of the business will be sufficient to eliminate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to complete the Offering, raise sufficient additional capital or that revenues will increase rapidly enough to offset operating losses. If we are unable to increase revenues or obtain additional financing, we will be unable to continue the development of our products and services and may have to cease operations.
 
Research and Development Program

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we spent approximately $168,000, compared to $23,000 during the same period in 2015, on research and development related to chronic illness monitoring. The research and development program focuses on ongoing improvements to methods and systems along with new technologies for the capture and analysis of data, as well as scalable architectures to migrate to production applications and deployments.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (or US GAAP).

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are 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 (perhaps significantly) from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following summary includes accounting policies that we deem to be most critical to our business. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:
30

 
It requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and
 
 
Changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and are hereby incorporated by reference.

Liability Related to Options and Warrants

The fair value of each stock option or warrant is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option-pricing model or the Monte Carlo valuation model. The expected life of stock options or warrants represents the period of time that the stock options or warrants are expected to be outstanding, based on the simplified method. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company's common stock, among other factors. The Company uses the simplified method within the binomial option-pricing valuation model due to the Company's short trading history and limited history of exercises of stock options or warrants. The risk-free rate related to the expected term of the stock options or warrants is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield is zero.

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company measured the fair value of warrants classified as liabilities on the date of issuance and on each re-measurement date using the Monte Carlo valuation model. For this liability, the Company and valuation specialists developed their own assumptions that do not have observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value. This method of valuation involves using inputs such as the fair value of the Company's common stock, stock price volatility, the contractual term of the warrants, risk–free interest rates and dividend yields. Due to the nature of these inputs, the valuation of the warrants uses Level 3 measurements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We measure the fair values of our assets and liabilities using the US GAAP hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature and liquidity of these financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on current market pricing models. The carrying amounts reported for notes payable approximate fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates.
 
Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. Specific reserves are estimated by management based on certain assumptions and variables, including the customer's financial condition, age of the customer's receivables and changes in payment histories. Accounts receivable are written off when management determines the likelihood of collection is remote. A receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance has not been received by the contractual payment date.

Inventory

Inventory consists of glucometers and diabetic supplies and is recorded at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventory held by distributors is reported as inventory until the supplies are shipped to the end user by the distributor. We estimate an inventory reserve for obsolescence and excessive quantities. Due to competitive pressures and technological innovation, it is possible that estimates of net realizable values could change in the near term.

Goodwill

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our annual testing date is September 30. The estimates of fair value are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment, which primarily incorporates management assumptions about expected future cash flows and the Company's overall market capitalization. Future cash flows can be affected by changes in industry or market conditions. Goodwill was impaired by $826,000 as of September 30, 2015, due, in part, to a potentially long-term reduction in the market capitalization of the Company subsequent to September 30, 2015.  As a result, the Company no longer presents goodwill as an asset in its balance sheets.

31

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from two to twenty years. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. No long-lived assets were considered to be impaired as of December 31, 2016.

Extinguishment of Debt

We compare the cash flows of a modified note payable on the date of modification to the original terms of the note payable. The original note is derecognized and a gain or loss on the extinguishment is recognized if the present value of the cash outflows of the original note payable is 10% or more than the modified note payable.

Revenue Recognition

During the three months ended December 31, 2016 and the comparable period from 2015, revenues came from Chronic Illness Monitoring products and services. Information regarding revenue recognition policies relating to Chronic Illness Monitoring is contained in the following paragraphs.

Chronic Illness Monitoring

Chronic Illness Monitoring revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or service to the end user has occurred, prices are fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

We enter into agreements with insurance companies, disease management companies, third-party administrators, and self-insured companies (collectively, the customers) to lower medical expenses by distributing diabetic testing products and supplies to employees (end users) covered by their health plans or the health plans they manage. Cash is due from the customer or the end user's health plan as the products and supplies are deployed to the end user. We also monitor the end user's test results in real-time with our 24x7 CareCenter. Customers who are billed separately for monitoring are obligated to pay as the service is performed and revenue is recognized ratably over the period of the contract. The term of these contracts is generally one year and, unless terminated by either party, will automatically renew annually until terminated. Collection terms are net 30 days after claims are submitted. There is no contingent revenue in these contracts.

We also enter into agreements with distributors who take title to products and distribute those products to the end user. Delivery is considered to occur when the supplies are delivered by the distributor to the end user. Cash is due from the distributor, the customer or the end user's health plan as initial products are deployed to the end user. Subsequent sales (resupplies) are shipped directly from us to the end user and cash is due from the customer or the end user's health plan.

Shipping and handling fees are typically not charged to end users. The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to end users are included as a component of cost of revenues.

Multiple-Element Arrangements

Sales of Chronic Illness Monitoring products and services contain multiple elements.  We evaluate each element in a multiple-element arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting. In order to account for elements in a multiple-element arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have stand-alone value upon delivery. In determining whether monitoring services have stand-alone value, the nature of our monitoring services, whether we sell supplies to new customers without monitoring services, and availability of monitoring services from the other vendors are factors that are considered.

When multiple elements included in an arrangement are separable into different units of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the identified separate units of accounting based on the relative selling prices. Multiple-element arrangements accounting guidance provides a hierarchy to use when determining the relative selling price for each unit of accounting. Vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of selling price, based on the price at which the item is regularly sold by the vendor on a stand-alone basis, should be used if it exists. If VSOE of selling price is not available, third-party evidence (TPE) of selling price is used to establish the selling price if it exists. If VSOE of selling price and TPE of selling price are not available, then the best estimate of selling price is to be used. Total consideration under our multiple-element contracts is allocated to supplies and monitoring through application of the relative fair value method or selling price.

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the statement of operations over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award — the requisite service period. The grant-date fair values of the equity instruments are estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2016 were $1,862,000 compared to $2,088,000 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $226,000, or 11%.  The decrease is primarily due to the Company focusing on completing the Offering and a lower number of new members joined during the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $1,300,000, compared to $1,593,000 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $293,000, or 18%.  The decrease in cost of revenues is primarily due to fewer new members during the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $561,000, compared to $494,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $67,000 as a result in reduction in the cost of revenues.  We expect gross profit to improve throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2017 as we acquire more Chronic Illness Monitoring members and retain existing members.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2016 were $1,210,000, compared to $2,347,000 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $1,137,000.  Included in selling, general and administrative expenses is $12,000 and $1,180,000 of stock-based compensation incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The decrease in expenses incurred due primarily to decreases in stock-based compensation expense and travel expense, offset, in part, by an increase in payroll expense.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2016 were $168,000, compared to $23,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $145,000.  The increase was due to continued investing in research and development as we develop new products and platforms for Chronic Illness Monitoring.  We expect to continue invest into innovating new products  as funds become available.
Gain on Derivatives Liability
Gain on derivatives liability for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $22,000, compared to a gain of $46,000 for the same period in 2015.  The derivative liability recorded as of December 31, 2016 relates to variable conversion price adjustments on outstanding notes payable and warrants. The derivatives liability recorded as of December 31, 2015 relates to a variable conversion feature at a 15% discount from the fair value of the Company's common stock on the maturity date.
 
33

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $1,555,000, compared to $491,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $1,064,000.  The increase is primarily due to additional notes payable issued and modifications made to existing notes payable during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and the three months ended December 31, 2016.
 
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the three months ended December 31, 2016 we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,004,000. This loss result from a gain of $40,000 on the partial extinguishment of a derivative on a note payable as payments were made and a loss of $2,044,000 related to the extinguishment of debt related to the forbearance agreement on a secured note payable and related line of credit.
 
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2016, was $4,354,000, compared to a net loss of $2,320,000 for the same period in 2015, for the reasons described above.
Dividends on Preferred Stock
Dividends on preferred stock for the three months ended December 31, 2016, were $34,000, compared to $404,000 for the same period in 2015.  The decrease was primarily due to the conversion of Series F Preferred into convertible notes payable and common stock during February 2016 and the reduction in the Series E Preferred  dividend rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are the proceeds from the sale of our equity securities and debt.  We have not historically financed operations from cash flows from operating activities.  We anticipate that we will continue to seek funding, including through the Offering, to supplement revenues from the sale of our products and services through the sale of equity and debt securities until we achieve positive cash flows from operating activities.
 
Our cash balance as of December 31, 2016, was $292,724.  At that time, we had a working capital deficit of $17,484,150, compared to a working capital deficit of $12,871,220 as of September 30, 2016.  The increase in working capital deficit is primarily due to additions to accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, and derivatives liabilities related to the issuance of notes payable, offset, in part, by additions to accounts receivable.
 
Operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2016, used cash of $47,985, compared to $502,588 for the same period in 2015.  The decrease in cash used in operating activities is primarily due to the increase in accounts payable during the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, offset, in part, by the increase in accounts receivable and inventory during the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to the increase in accounts receivable and decrease in inventory the same period in 2015.
 
Investing activities did not use cash or have cash proceeds for the three months ended December 31, 2016.  Investing activities used cash used of $2,074 for the same period in 2015.  The decrease in cash used by investing activities is primarily due to the purchase and sale of property and equipment during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and none during the same period in 2016.
 
Financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2016, provided cash of $172,972, compared to $547,564 for the same period in 2015. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to a net increase in principal payments on debt during the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2015, offset, in part, by the net increase in proceeds from the issuance of debt during the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2015.
 
We had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2016, of $112,566,828, compared to $108,178,614 as of September 30, 2016.  Our total stockholders' deficit as of December 31, 2016, was $24,487,462 compared to $20,111,201 as of September 30, 2016.  These changes were primarily due to our net loss during the three months ended December 31, 2016.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, August 2015 and May 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ASU 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date, and ASU 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, respectively, which implement ASC Topic 606. ASC Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP, including industry-specific guidance. It also requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information that enable financial statements users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. These ASUs may be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard sets forth management's responsibility to evaluate, each reporting period, whether there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and if so, to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2017. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its evaluation of going concern.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The purpose of ASU 2015-11 is to more closely align the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2015-11 requires entities to measure most inventory at the "lower of cost or net realizable value." Additionally, some of the amendments are designed to more clearly articulate the requirements for the measurement and disclosure of inventory. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2017. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases.  The purpose of ASU 2016-02 is to establish the principles to report transparent and economically neutral information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. This guidance results in a more faithful representation of the rights and obligations arising from operating and capital leases by requiring lessees to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases in the statement of financial position and to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about lease transactions, such as information about variable lease payments and options to renew and terminate leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2019. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The purpose of ASU 2016-09 is to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equities or liabilities, and classification of amounts in the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2017.  The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
 
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this update provided guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This update is to provide specific guidance on each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
 
Recent Developments

Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Company entered into the following agreements and transactions:
 
(1)
On January 27, 2017, we effected a 1-for-500 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, which caused our then outstanding common stock to be decreased from 115,112,802 to 232,100 while keeping our authorized capitalization unchanged.
   
(2)
On January 12, 2017, the Company entered into letter agreements (together the "Note Holder Letter Agreements") with eight (8) investors (each a "Note Holder" and together the "Note Holders") holding convertible notes payable whereby the Note Holders agreed to convert all monies due them under the Notes into restricted shares of common stock (the "Note Conversion Shares") and warrants to purchase common stock (the "Note Conversion Warrants" and together with the Note Conversion Shares, the "Note Conversion Securities"), all contingent upon the completion of the Offering. As incentive to enter into the Note Holder Letter Agreements, the Company agreed to add approximately $1,687,811 to the outstanding principal and interest as of October 31, 2016, effectively making the total obligation due to Note Holders an aggregate of $8,000,000 (the "Total Note Obligation"). Pursuant to the Note Holder Letter Agreements, the Total Note Obligation will automatically convert upon consummation of the Offering into the Note Conversion Securities at the combined price per share and warrant paid by investors in the offering (the "Conversion Price"). The terms of the Note Conversion Warrants will be substantially similar to the Warrants being included in the offering, except such Note Conversion Warrants will be a restricted security and will not publicly trade on NASDAQ. In addition, the Note Holders currently hold warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,070 shares that will be terminated upon the consummation of the Offering. In consideration of such termination, the Note Holders will be issued new warrants to purchase an identical number of shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the Conversion Price, as defined in the agreements. Each person entering into the Note Holder Letter Agreements have entered into lock-up agreements prohibiting the sale or other transfer of any securities of the Company owned by such persons for a period of 6 months. If the Offering is not completed by February 15, 2017, the Note Holder Letter Agreements and lock-up agreements will terminate.  During February 2017, prior to the expiration of the existing agreements, the Note Holders signed amendments to their respective Note Holder Letter Agreements and lock-up agreements to extend the expiration dates to March 31, 2017.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Information about our exposure to market risk was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 13, 2017. There have been no material quantitative or qualitative changes in market risk exposure since the date of that filing.
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods that are specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding any required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating these disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, for the reasons discussed below.  
39

During the audit process for the year ended September 30, 2016 and the review process for the three months ended December 31, 2016, management identified ineffective controls over the accounting for 1) debt issuance costs and derivatives, and 2) debt extinguishments as material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
 
We are in the process of improving our internal control over financial reporting in an effort to eliminate these material weaknesses through improved supervision and training of our staff. Our management, audit committee, and directors will continue to work to ensure that our controls and procedures become adequate and effective.
 
(b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

No director or executive officer has been a director or executive officer of any business which has filed a bankruptcy petition or had a bankruptcy petition filed against it during the past ten years.

The lawsuit alleges a breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud and seeks damages in excess of $1,000,000, exclusive of interest and costs. The Company has engaged legal counsel regarding the matter. At this time, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the matter. The Company intends to vigorously dispute the litigation and believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims.
 
On November 4, 2015, the Company received a demand for payment of $275,000 from a former employee of the Company and former principal of 4G Biometrics who was terminated for cause in regards to his employment agreement.
