2. Going Concern and Management's Liquidity Plans

The Company adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, as of December 31, 2016. This ASU requires management to assess a company's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. Based on the results of the Company's analysis, the following information is provided.

 

The Company has financed its operations primarily through debt and equity financings. Increased borrowings from the Company's senior lender during 2015 and 2016 have not been sufficient to satisfy the Company's current obligations.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,638,304 and an accumulated deficit of $4,270,644. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred net losses of $1,408,203 and $626,682, respectively, and used cash in operating activities of $116,830 and $548,281, respectively. These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

The Company is subject to a 2013 Notice of Redemption related to its Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock aggregating $1,000,000, whereby, the Company must now apply all of its assets to redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock and to no other corporate purpose, except to the extent prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders (the Company is not permitted to utilize toward the redemption those assets required to pay its debts as they come due and those assets required to continue as a going concern).

 

The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital in order to fund operations, meet its payment obligations and execute its business plan. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company and whether the Company will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, attempt to extend note repayments, attempt to negotiate the preferred stock redemption and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.  If the Company is unable to obtain financing on a timely basis, the Company could be forced to sell its assets, discontinue its operations, and /or seek reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
