1.       Basis of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Going Concern

 

ALR Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on March 24, 1987. The Company has developed a compliance monitoring system that will allow for health care professionals to remotely monitor patient health conditions and provide patient health management. On October 17, 2011 the Company announced that it had received Section 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration for its Diabetes Management System. The Company is currently seeking pilot programs to deploy its product.

 

These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) in US dollars and on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. Several adverse conditions cast substantial doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Company has incurred significant losses over the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 of $2,832,943 and $1,331,048. In addition, losses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $2,842,025 and $10,093,733. As of June 30, 2018, the Company is unable to self-finance its operations, has a working capital deficit of $27,184,869 (December 31, 2017 - $25,976,379), accumulated deficit of $77,361,018 (December 31, 2017 - $74,528,075), limited resources, no source of operating cash flow and no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to conduct continued product development activities. If the Company is able to finance its required product development activities, there is no assurance the Company’s current projects will be commercially viable or profitable. The Company has debts comprised of accounts payable, interest payable, lines of credit and promissory notes payable totaling $27,184,999 currently due, due on demand or considered delinquent. There is no assurance that the Company will not face additional legal action from creditors regarding the above debts. Any one or a combination of these above conditions could result in the failure of the business and cause the Company to cease operations.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of its creditors and its ability to obtain financing to fund working capital and overhead requirements, fund the development of the Company’s product line and, ultimately, the Company’s ability to achieve profitable operations and repay overdue obligations. The Company has obtained short-term financing from its chairman’s family through lines of credit facilities with available borrowing in the principal amount up to $10,500,000 (as of June 30, 2018 the total principal balance outstanding was $10,728,587) (note 5). During 2018, the Company has continued to receive financing from the Chairman in excess of the borrowing limit of the line of credit it has available. The amounts received by the Company from the Chairman have been borrowed under the same terms as the line of credit. The Company and the Chairman have not entered into a new agreement for the amount of borrowing available.

 

The resolution of whether the Company is able to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the realization of management’s plans. The Company plans to raise needed capital through the exercise of share options, increase to existing debt facilities or the acquisition of new debt facilities, and by future common share private placements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional debt or equity capital from the sources described above, or that the lenders in the line of credit arrangements will maintain the availability of borrowing from the line. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining short-term financing or achieving long-term profitable operations, the Company will be required to cease operations.

1.       Basis of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Going Concern (continued)

 

All of the Company’s debt is either due on demand or is in default, while continuing to accrue interest at its stated rate. The Company will seek to obtain creditors’ consents to delay repayment of the outstanding promissory notes payable and related interest thereto, until it is able to replace this financing with funds generated by operations, recapitalization with replacement debt or from equity financings through private placements. While some of the Company’s creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. In the past, creditors have successfully commenced legal action against the Company to recover debts outstanding. In those instances, the Company was able to obtain financing from related parties to cover the verdict or settlement; however, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain the same financing in the future. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining financing to cover any potential verdicts or settlements, the Company will be required to cease operations.

 

The Company’s activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2018. Additionally, the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success of the Company’s continued product development and distribution efforts. The Company plans to continue financing its operations with the lines of credit it has available and future debt arrangements it obtains.

 

While the Company strongly believes that its capital resources will be sufficient in the near term, there is no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company.

 

2.       Significant Accounting Policies

 

The unaudited condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2018 and for the period then ended have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the results of operations and cash flows as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, and for the periods then ended, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments.

 

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

 

The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Overview

 

ALR TECHNOLOGIES INC. (the “Company” or “ALRT”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 24, 1987 as Mo Betta Corp. In April 1998, the Company changed its business purpose to marketing a pharmaceutical compliance device.

 

On October 21, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with A Little Reminder Inc. (“ALR”) whereby the Company would have the non-exclusive right to distribute certain products of ALR described below.

 

In December 1998, the common shares of the Company began trading on the Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc. under the symbol “MBET”. On December 28, 1998, the Company changed its name from Mo Betta Corp. to ALR Technologies Inc. Subsequently the symbol was changed to “ALRT”.

 

In April 1999, the Company acquired 99.9% (36,533,130) of the issued and outstanding Class A shares of common stock of ALR in exchange for 36,533,130 shares of the Company’s common stock thereby making ALR a subsidiary corporation of the Company. ALR also had outstanding 124,695 shares of Class B common stock, none of which was owned by the Company.

 19 

 

 

ALR was incorporated pursuant to the Company Act of British Columbia on May 24, 1996. ALR owned one subsidiary corporation, Timely Devices, Inc. (“TDI”). TDI was founded in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on July 27, 1994. ALR owned all of the total outstanding shares of TDI. TDI had only one class of common stock outstanding.

 

On July 31, 2000, the Company sold all of its shares of ALR. From that point onward, the Company focused on developing its own technology, products and performed its own marketing.

 

On April 15, 2008, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in Canada under the name Canada ALRTech Health Systems Inc. This subsidiary was wound up during 2017.

 

In late 2011, the Company relocated its headquarters to 7400 Beaufont Springs Drive, Suite 300, Richmond, Virginia, 23225.

 

During 2011, the Company received FDA clearance and achieved HIPPA compliance for its Diabetes Management System. With these key achievements and successful clinical trials completed, the Company began implementing its commercialization strategy that included a pilot program with patients in Kansas in 2014. The Company obtained significant findings from this pilot program, which led to the development of its Insulin Dosage Adjustment (“IDA”).

 

During 2017, the Company received FDA clearance for IDA and submitted worldwide patent application under the patent cooperation treaty to the World Intellectual Property Organization for its Predictive A1c innovation. The Company is actively seeking to commence revenue-generating activities for its Diabetes Management System.

 

Recent Developments

 

On January 31, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the following grants:

·the option to acquire 47,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.015 per share for a term of five years to 9 consultants of the Company; and
·the option to acquire 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.015 per share until April 19, 2019 to 1 consultant of the Company.

Of the options granted with a term of five years, options to acquire a total of 11,000,000 shares of common stock were granted to three relatives of the Chairman of the Board.

 

On May 3, 2018, the Company affected a reversal of the previously approved and reserved share split by filing completing the filing with the State of Nevada.

 

On June 3, 2018, the Company received notification that an option holder would be exercising their option to acquire 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.015 by extinguishing $15,000 of accounts payable owed by the Company to the option holder. The transaction has not been completed and the Company has not yet issued the shares as certain of the options still had vesting conditions.

 

On June 13, 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors have elected to migrate or re-domicile the Company from the United States of America to Canada (the “Migration”). Accordingly, the Board has instructed Management to work with legal counsel to present a suitable Migration plan for the Company that is in compliance with all applicable regulatory authorities.

 

On June 13, 2018 the Chief Executive Officer of the Company accepted a proposal from the board of directors of the Company to purchase a $5,000,000 convertible debenture financing (the “Financing”). The convertible debenture will be convertible for a period of five years into common shares of the Company’s capital stock at a price of $0.05 per share. The convertible debenture will bear interest at a rate of 8 percent per annum and will be repayable in 4 equal semi-annual instalments starting 42 months after its issuance until maturity. The convertible debenture will be transferable or saleable by the Chairman or other holder thereof, in whole or in part, at any time without notice to the Company.

 

The Company and the Chairman have begun developing on a definitive agreement to implement the convertible debenture with the customary terms, conditions and representations of a commercial lending agreement based on the terms agreed upon. The closing of the issue and sale of the convertible debenture will not occur until such time that is 30 days subsequent to the confirmation of the Company’s first commercial sale of its diabetes management software program

Products

 

ALR Technologies products utilize internet-based technologies to facilitate a healthcare provider’s ability to monitor their patient’s health and ensure adherence to health maintenance activities.

 

The ALRT Diabetes Management System is a remote monitoring and care facilitation program that allows patients to upload the blood glucose data from their glucometers. ALRT Health Data Monitors monitor that data and, based on clinician approved protocols, provide advice, support and interventions when patients show blood glucose readings that are out of an acceptable range or if they are failing to test their blood glucose as prescribed. The ALRT System has been successfully proven in a clinical trial that demonstrated this type of remote care is associated with significant lowering of A1c levels. The study concluded that continuing intervention using an internet-based glucose monitoring system is an effective way of improving glucose control compared to conventional care. A second clinical trial demonstrated that this type of Internet-based Blood Glucose Monitoring System (IBGMS) was associated with comparable reductions in A1c levels with that of more expensive Continuing Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGMS).

 

In the future, the Company may seek to adapt its System to be used in the management of other chronic diseases. The Company may be required to obtain additional clearance from the FDA prior to commencing selling activities in the United States for other disease states.

 

ALRT Diabetes Management System

 

Diabetes is a leading cause of death, serious illness and disability across North America. In the United States, it is estimated that 26 million people have diabetes, with 4.5 million people being classified as insulin dependent. By the year 2030, it is expected that 1 in 10 adults, globally, will have diabetes (diagnosed and undiagnosed instances). By the year 2050, it is expected that 1 in 3 United States adults will have diabetes (diagnosed and undiagnosed instances). We believe diabetes is a global pandemic.

 

As a result, medical costs due to diabetes and its complications are enormous. In the United States, such costs are estimated to be over $245 billion a year. In Canada, where it is estimated there are 2 million people with diabetes, healthcare costs associated with diabetes is estimated to be more than $13 billion annually.

 

Diabetes is a lifelong chronic disease with no cure. However, people with diabetes can take steps to control their disease and reduce the risk of developing the associated serious complications, thereby controlling healthcare costs. The Canadian Diabetes Association Clinical Practice Guidelines Expert Committee reports that, “Successful diabetes care depends on the daily commitment of persons with diabetes mellitus to self-manage through the balance of lifestyle and medication. Diabetes care should be organized around a multi- and interdisciplinary diabetes healthcare team that can establish and sustain a communication network between the person with diabetes and the necessary healthcare and community systems”.

 

However, as noted in Patrick Connole, “UnitedHealthcare, Other Large Insurers Seek Better Adherence to Diabetes Care”, Health Plan Week, February 11, 2013 Volume 23 Issue 5, 80% of United States patients with diabetes do not follow their prescribed care plan.

ALRT Diabetes Management System (continued)

Furthermore, in Treatment intensification for patients with type 2 diabetes and poor glycaemic control by Fu and Sheenan, it was noted that out of 11,525 patients investigated with an A1c greater than 8% patients received intensification as follows:

  • 37% within 6 months;
  • 11% within 6-12 months; and
  • 52% never.

 

A study in 2013 by Khunti, Wolden, Thorstead, Anderson and Davies entitled Clinical inertia in people with type 2 diabetes: a retrospective cohort study of more than 80,000 people found that it took on average 19 months to escalate patients with an average A1c of 8.7% from single medication to dual therapy and 82 months to escalate patients with an average A1c of 8.8% from dual medication to triple therapy. Furthermore, they found that it took approximately 20 years to advance patients with an average A1c of over 9% to insulin. At the end of the study, less than 50% of the patients had their treatment intensified.

 

The Company’s Diabetes Management System provides an affordable and easy to use tool to provide the communication network as recommended by the Committee. Our Diabetes Management System includes a communications software platform that also enables health professionals to remotely monitor the health progress to patients with diabetes. This facilitates more timely and effective communication and coordination of care to these patients. This also results in positive behavior patterning, or re-patterning, of the patients.

 

The Diabetes Management System and the Company’s universal upload cable, are compatible with the majority of the major brands of glucose meters available for sale in the United States.

 

In August 2010, the Company received the results of a clinical trial conducted by Dr. Hugh Tildesley using the ALRT Health-e-Connect System. The trial showed A1c dropping from 8.8% to 7.6% for the Intervention Group using ALRT’s Health-e-Connect System as part of a diabetes management program. The A1c test is important in diabetes treatment management as a long-term measure of control over blood glucose for diabetes patients. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, “In general, every percentage drop in A1c blood test results (e.g., from 8% to 7%), can reduce the risk of microvascular complications (eye, kidney and nerve diseases) by 40%”. The trial served as the basis for an article titled Effect of Internet Therapeutic Intervention on A1c Levels in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Treated with Insulin, which was published in the August 2010 Diabetes Care publication.

 

In July 2011, the follow-up results of the Dr. Tildesley clinical trial were published in the Canadian Journal of Diabetes. Dr. Tildesley conducted a 12-month study using Health-e-Connect System as an Internet-Based Blood Glucose Monitoring System (IBGMS) to provide intensive blood glucose control to determine the effects of internet-based blood glucose monitoring on A1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin. Dr Tildesley concluded that, “While IBGMS intervention was not a substitute for the patient–physician interaction in a clinical setting, it significantly improved A1c and, over time, we observed better glycaemic control and patient satisfaction”.

 

In October 2011, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Diabetes Management System (then known as the Health-e-Connect System) for remote monitoring of patients in support of effective diabetes management programs. The 510(k) clearance enables the Company to commence with the United States marketing and sales launch of its Health-e-Connect System.

ALRT Diabetes Management System (continued)

 

On July 28, 2014, the Company entered into a pilot service agreement with Kansas City Metropolitan Physician Association (KCMPA), one of the nation's premier Accountable Care Organizations (ACO). Under the agreement, KCMPA, which made diabetes management a key focus of its Quality Improvement Plan, enrolled up to 200 of its patients with Type 2 diabetes into ALRT's Diabetes Management System. The pilot service agreement was effective nine months from the beginning date of patient enrollment and the intent was to allow 6 months of use for each patient enrolled in the system. The pilot program between ALRT and KCMPA represented the first commercial deployment of ALRT's Diabetes Management System. On September 9, 2014, the Company began enrolling patients with Type 2 diabetes and A1c levels above 8 percent into the pilot program trialing the Diabetes Management System.

 

In September 2014, the Company initiated its pilot program with one of the Kansas City Metropolitan Physician Association clinics to deploy its Diabetes Management System for up to 200 patients that fit certain criteria. As a result of the pilot program findings and general industry trends, the Company proceeded with developing three new innovations:

·Insulin Dosage Adjustment uses both American Diabetes Association (ADA) and American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) guidelines for adjusting insulin;
·Predictive A1c, which converts blood glucose data uploaded into our Diabetes Management Systems and converts the large amount of data into a predicted or simulated A1c; and
·Diabetes Therapy Review allows the healthcare providers to change care plans for patients on a timely basis based on the results of Predictive A1c and overall how patients are managing their diabetes.

 

On January 1, 2015, the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services began reimbursing physicians for the non-face-to-face management of Medicare patients with two or more serious chronic diseases. Physicians would be paid a per-patient-per-month fee for “Chronic Care Management” and the examination of data from a remote monitoring platform is considered a reimbursable activity by CMS. Therefore, the Company modified its System to conform to the requirements of the CMS reimbursement. These modifications permit the Company to market to medical groups throughout the United States with a product that will help physicians to draw down this new reimbursement, as well as to potentially improve the outcomes of their patients.

 

On February 18, 2015, the Company filed a 510(k) application with the FDA to add a remote insulin dosing recommendation feature to the Company’s Diabetes Management System. The Company utilized the publicly available algorithm of the AACE and ADA. This feature allows the Company to regularly run a patient’s blood glucose data (and other key data) through the AACE and ADA algorithm. When the algorithm indicated that the patient’s dose may not be optimal, the Diabetes Management System would provide the heathcare provider that a dose change may be warranted and what the change would be based on AACE and ADA guidelines. The decision about the dose change would rest entirely with the healthcare provider. However, this new feature may make a significant contribution to improving the outcomes of diabetes patients if it allowed healthcare providers to keep their patients at the optimal dose for longer periods.

 

Preliminary data from the KCMPA pilot program indicated that a number of patients had achieved reductions in their A1c levels. On April 17, 2015, the Company signed a commercial contract with one of the KCMPA clinics, the Clay-Platte Family Medicine Clinic, to provide remote monitoring services. The Company has provided these services to date to Clay-Platte at no charge, as it has provided the Company with continuous users as a sample population for its own strategic planning and business plan. The Company continues to actively provide services to Clay-Platte for certain of its patients.

 

On June 20, 2017, the Company filed a worldwide patent application under the PCT for its Predictive A1c feature to the World Intellectual Property Office.

 

On September 18, 2017, the Company received clearance from the FDA for its Insulin Dosage Adjustment feature within the Company’s Diabetes Management System.

Critical Accounting Policies and Going Concern

 

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our unaudited condensed financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may materially differ from our estimates.

 

The Company’s condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. See note 1 of the condensed financial statements.

 

Due to our being a development stage company and not having generated significant revenues, in the notes to our financial statements, we have included disclosure regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was 113% ($1,501,896) higher than the net loss at June 30, 2017 as a result of the grant of options with a fair value recognized of $1,528,175  as consideration for services received. The fair value from the grant of the options in the six months ended June 30, 2018 accounted for 102% of the total change in net loss as compared to 2017. Of the 52,200,000 options to acquire shares of common stock granted, 24,000,000 (a fair value of approximately $1.4M) did not vest (and was not recorded) during the period.

Results of Operations (continued)

 

General, selling and administrative expenses. General, selling and administrative costs consist of salaries and consulting fees of management personnel, stock-based compensation for options granted to management personnel, travel and trade show costs, rent of the Company’s corporate office, website costs, information technology costs and general costs incurred through day-to-day operations. From the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, there was both a significant increase and variance in the total expense incurred related primarily to the grant of stock options. By type of general and administrative cost, the variance can be seen as follows:

Total $ 1,156,000 $ 164,000 992,000  
               

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2018, aside from the grant of stock options, the Company slightly increased its general and administrative operating expenditures as compared to the same period in 2017. The cash-based general and administrative expenditure decreased by approximately $15,000 during the six month period ended 2018 as compared to 2017.

 

Product development costs. Substantially all of the product development costs incurred related to a) services provided by contractors of the Company, b) expenses incurred for product development, and c) stock-based compensation for options granted to members of the product development team. The change in balance from the previous year relates primarily to an increase in external consulting services related to the grant of stock options to development personnel under contract.

 

Professional fees. Professional costs incurred consist of consulting and advisory fees of certain professionals retained, audit fees, legal fees, diabetes care facilitators and stock-based compensation for options granted to professionals. During the period, there was a significant increase in professional fees. By type of professional cost, the variance can be seen as follows:

The increase in professional fees can be attributed to the Company granting stock options to certain professionals during the period.

Interest on Promissory Notes

There were not any substantial changes in the amount of promissory notes outstanding from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018. During the previous year, the Company transferred amounts from imputed interest to interest on promissory notes and continued recording interest on the outstanding principal during the current period. Related to its promissory notes outstanding, the Company anticipates interest expense to be consistent with the results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 moving forward.

Imputed Interest

During the 2018 and 2017 periods, the Company had certain zero interest promissory notes and accounts payable in excess of one year. Pursuant to the Company’s accounting policy, these zero interest amounts are considered to be financing items in nature and are assigned a deemed interest rate (1% per month). The interest incurred on these is expensed as imputed interest and instead of increasing the liabilities of the Company, it is allocated to equity under the financial statement line item additional paid-in capital. The change from the prior year is related to the discussion included under Interest on Promissory Notes above.

There was not similar transaction during the three months ended June 30, 2017. The fair value of the options granted in 2018 accounted for 100% of the increase in net loss from the prior period.

Working Capital (Deficiency) $ (27,185,000) $  (25,976,000)   (1,209,000) (5)

 

The Company has a severe working capital deficiency. It does not have the ability to service its current liabilities for the next twelve months and is reliant on its line of credit facilities to meet its ongoing operations. Until the Company has revenue-producing activities that exceed its operating requirements, it will be unable to service its current liabilities and the working capital deficit will continue to increase. As of the date of this management discussion and analysis, the Company has not commenced revenue-generating activities, nor does it know when they will commence. There is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to repay its current liabilities in the near term or anytime in the future, which could ultimately lead to business failure.

 

Current Assets

 

The Company’s nominal current assets as at June 30, 2018 consist substantially of cash. The Company’s current assets as at December 31, 2017 consist substantially of cash.

Total current liabilities $ 27,185,000 $ 25,979,000   1,206,000 5

 

The increase in interest payable of $265,000 relates to accrued interest incurred on promissory notes at their stated rates of interest. All of the promissory notes and related interest payable are overdue.

 

The fluctuations in accounts payable occurred as part of operations.

 

The increase in the lines of credit payable of approximately $965,000 is attributable to borrowings of:

-$330,000 to fund operations, product development activities, overhead, and its sales and marketing program; and
-$635,000 of unpaid interest incurred on the principal of the borrowed amounts.

Cash Balances and Working Capital

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s cash balance was $130 compared to $3,111 as of December 31, 2017.

 

Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Cash used by the Company in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $333,000 in comparison with $377,000 used during the same period last year. The Company’s expenditures from operations were used as follows (approximate amounts):

 

   Six Months Ended

Other   14,000    30,000 
Cash used in Operations  $333,000   $377,000

The majority of the expenditures were to repay overdue accounts payable owing to certain consultants, pay product development costs, pay accrued professional fees, and selling and administration costs associated with operating the business.

 

Cash Proceeds from Financing Activities

 

Cash sourced by the Company from financing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $330,000 in comparison with $375,000 sourced during the same period last year. The funds sourced from lines of credit provided by Chairman of the Board and a relative of the Chairman of the Board. The loans received in 2018 and 2017 covered the operating, product development and market development requirements for the Company repaid certain accounts payable.

 

Short- and Long-Term Liquidity

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company does not have the current financial resources and committed financing to enable it to meet its administrative overhead, product development budgeted costs and debt obligations over the next 12 months.

 

All of the Company’s debt financing are due on demand or overdue. The Company will seek to obtain creditors’ consents to delay repayment of these loans until it is able to replace these financings with funds generated by operations, replacement debt or from equity financings through private placements or the exercise of options and warrants. While the Company’s creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. The Company has faced litigation from creditors in the past and is currently being sued by one creditor. There is no assurance that additional creditors will not make claims against the Company in the future. Failure to obtain either replacement financing or creditor consent to delay the repayment of existing financing could result in the Company having to curtail operations.

The Company will continue to use the funds available from the lines of credit to cover administrative overhead and product development requirements until such time it can establish cash flows from operations. In the next six months, the Company anticipates the amount borrowed from the lines of credit to increase as compared to the past six months, as it expects to commercially launch its Diabetes Management System during this period.
