Basis of Presentation |
Basis of Presentation - These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.
The Companys financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current years presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the net loss.
The Company also faces certain risks and uncertainties which are present in many emerging companies regarding product development, future profitability, ability to obtain future capital, protection of patents and property rights, competition, rapid technological change, government regulations, recruiting and retaining key personnel, and third party manufacturing organizations.
To date we have relied exclusively on private placements with a small group of investors to finance our business and operations. We have had little revenue since our inception. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $3,069,000 and utilized approximately $2,539,000 in cash flows from operating activities. The Company had cash on hand of approximately $187,000 as of December 31, 2013. Successful completion of the Companys development program and its transition to profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing adequate to fulfill its development and commercialization activities, and achieve a level of revenues adequate to support the Companys cost structure. Many of the Companys objectives to establish profitable business operations rely upon the occurrence of events outside its control; there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. We cannot assure that additional debt, equity or other funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If we fail to obtain additional funding when needed, we would be forced to scale back, or terminate our operations, or seek to merge with or be acquired by another company.
Management anticipates that the Company will require additional funds to continue operations. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $187,000 cash on hand and were spending approximately $300,000 per month, of which only a minor amount was satisfied by gross proceeds from operations. Hence, the amount of cash on hand is not adequate to meet our operating expenses over the next twelve months. The company raised $850,000 in the first quarter of 2014 in relation to a $1,000,000 debt offering issued in January 2014 and an additional $160,000 in relation to its Series D preferred stock offering. The company raised $150,000 in a $3,000,000 private debt offering issued in March 2014.
The issues described above raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Although we have commenced a new $3,000,000 debt offering and we have a total of approximately $2,157,000 remaining to be raised under our Series D preferred stock offering, we cannot guarantee we will be able to raise the entire offering amounts, if any. We are solely reliant on raising additional capital in order to maintain our current operations. To date we have been able to raise debt and equity financing through the assistance of a small number of our investors who have been substantial participants in our debt and equity offerings since our formation. If these investors choose not to assist us with our capital raising initiatives in the future, we do not expect that we would be able to obtain any alternative forms of financing at this time and we would not be able to continue to satisfy our current or long term obligations. Based upon our current monthly spend we anticipate the need to raise at least $3,600,000 to meet our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months. If we successfully raise $3,000,000 in the private debt offering, we believe the proceeds we will receive and anticipated revenues from equipment sales will be sufficient to fund our operations, including our expected capital expenditures, through the next twelve months. Without these additional funds, we will be required to reduce operations, curtail any future growth opportunities, cease operations all together, or seek to merge with or be acquired by another company.
The accompanying audited financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be different should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
