Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

 

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do no include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles US GAAP. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the financial statements, have been included. The results operations for the period ended December 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year or for any other period. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in PureSpectrum Inc.'s Form 10-K.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation.

 

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

The Company’s management does not believe that recent codified pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board FASB will have a material impact on the Company’s current or future financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION

 

PureSpectrum, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly International Medical Staffing, Inc., is a Delaware corporation incorporated on March 21, 2007. The Company is in the business of developing, marketing, licensing, and contract manufacturing of lighting technology for use in residential, commercial, and industrial applications worldwide.

 

The Company is authorized to issue 950 million shares, consisting of (a) 900 million shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and (b) 30 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which may be issuable in one or more series. Each common share is entitled to one vote and shareholders have no preemptive or conversion rights. As of December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, there were 668,186,692 and 369,375,931 common shares issued and outstanding, respectively. The Company's Board of Directors may, without further action by the shareholders, direct the issuance of preferred stock for any proper corporate purpose with preferences, voting pow conversion rights, qualifications, special or relative rights and privileges which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights shareholders of common stock. As of December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, there were 3,150,000 and 3,000,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock issued or outstanding, respectively. Each Series B preferred share entitles the holder thereof to five hundred (500 votes per share and may vote on any action requiring any class of shares to vote.

 

NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses from operations of $579,465 for the year ended December 31, 2016. In addition, at December 31, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $15,005,572 and negative working capital of $2,015,039.

 

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company recorded its first revenues in October 2009 and is no longer a development stage company. The Company has not yet generated sufficient working capital to support its operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent, among other things, on its ability to minimize costs, enter into revenue generating contracts and obtain additional revenues to eventually attain a profitable level of operations.

 

The Company has been engaged in developing, marketing, licensing, and contract manufacturing of fluorescent lighting technology for use in residential, commercial, and industrial applications worldwide. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in the commercialization of the fluorescent lighting technology that will generate sufficient revenues to sustain the operations of the Company.

 

 

 

 

 7 
 

 

Management plans to obtain additional capital investments to enable the Company to continue operations and decrease revenues in 2014. There is no assurance that management will be able to successfully generate revenue and/or reduce expenses sufficient to attain profitability, or continue to attract the capital necessary to support the business.

 

NOTE 5 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to commons shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock using the treasury stock method. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is dilutive.

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

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contain or may contain forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes”, “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements which include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s expectations regarding its working capital requirements, financing requirements, business prospects, and other statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, economic, political and market conditions and fluctuations, government and industry regulation, interest rate risk, U.S. and global competition, and other factors. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should consider the areas of risk described in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made herein. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Readers should carefully review this quarterly report in its entirety, including but not limited to our financial statements and the notes thereto. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events. For any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

 

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS OF OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.

 

Background

 

The Company is engaged in developing, marketing, licensing and contract manufacturing of fluorescent lighting technology for use in residential, commercial and industrial applications.

 

The quest for increased energy efficiency in commercial and industrial lighting applications is growing and demand for dimmable linear fluorescent lighting is expected to expand during the coming years. Our goal is to expand the product line, marketing efforts and sales of multiple lines of dimmable linear fluorescent products. Our objective is to offer a diverse commercial/industrial product line and take advantage of demonstrated needs in the marketplace. The Company believes interest in its dimmable CFLs will increase when the Company is capable of offering a full line of bulbs to include multiple styles and wattages which address varying consumer demands. Due to financial constraints, we have not been able to pursue these market opportunities and there can be no assurance that we will be able to implement our business strategy at any time in the future.

 

Our lack of working capital has adversely affected product development and manufacturing of both proprietary and non-proprietary Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL).

 

Our products were initially sold through distributors. We were not successful and changed our business plan to focus on Internet sales and other direct marketing methods. In order to finance its ongoing operations, the Company executed multiple secured convertible promissory notes with several creditors. The secured creditors filed U.C.C. security interests encumbering all of the Company’s assets now owned or hereafter acquired and the proceeds thereof. The secured convertible promissory notes are in default.

 

The Company will continue to look into various financing opportunities. However, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our obligations as they become due and we will be forced to decrease or cease operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining additional loans, including commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Note 1 of the “Notes to Financial Statements” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements. For the period ended December 31, 2016, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies.

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. - Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

The Company’s management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 using the criteria set forth in the Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon the evaluation, Management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2015, because of material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their assigned functions. Management concluded that we have several material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting because of inadequate segregation of duties over authorization, review and recording of transactions as well as the financial reporting of such transactions. Due to the Company's limited resources, management has not developed a plan to mitigate the above material weaknesses without the assistance of an independent escrow agent. In furtherance thereof, and with the agreement of the secured creditors, all monies received from either product sales or from any financing, are deposited in an attorney’s escrow account established by the Company at the request of the secured creditors. Distributions from the escrow account must be approved by the secured creditors.

 

Despite the existence of these material weaknesses, we believe the financial information presented herein is materially correct and in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Except as set forth above, there have been no changes in the Company’s processes and procedures during the year ended December 31, 2016, that materially affected or is reasonably expected to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

(c) Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation or effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
