EXELED HOLDINGS INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 1 — Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

ExeLED Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 20, 1986 under the name “Verilink Corporation.” We have also been known as Energie Holdings, Inc. and Alas Aviation Corp. On December 31, 2013, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with OELC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Énergie LLC (hereinafter referred to as, “Énergie”). The Share Exchange Agreement was not effective until July 2, 2014 due to a variety of conditions subsequent that needed to be met, which are described below. Upon effectiveness, we issued 33,000,000 “restricted” shares of our common stock, representing approximately 65% of our then issued and outstanding voting securities, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding member interests of Énergie. The accounting is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible is recorded.

Thereafter, on January 27, 2014, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with two of our then wholly owned subsidiaries, Energie Holdings, Inc. and Alas Acquisition Company. The net effect of the Merger Agreement was to effectuate a name change from Alas Aviation Corp., to Energie Holdings, Inc. in order to provide a better understanding to investors of our entry into the LED lighting industry. Our management also changed.

All references herein to “us,” “we,” “our,” “Holdings,” or the “Company” refer to ExeLED Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and their respective business following the consummation of the Merger and Share Exchange Agreements, unless the context otherwise requires.

Description of Business

We are focused on acquiring and growing specialized LED lighting companies for the architecture and interior design markets for both commercial and residential applications. Our lighting products include both conventional fixtures and advanced solid-state technology that can integrate with digital controls and day-lighting to create energy efficiencies and a better visual environment. Our objective is to grow, innovate, and fully capture the rapidly growing lighting market opportunities associated with solid state lighting.

Énergie was founded in 2001 and is engaged in the import and sale of specialized interior lighting solutions to the architecture and interior design markets in North America. Our headquarters is located in Arvada, Colorado, and we also maintain a production and assembly facility in Zeeland, Michigan.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, has been derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of this interim information. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for the entire year. The information included in this report should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2016.

Table Of Contents  5

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had an equity deficit of $14,117,844 and a working capital deficit of $13,934,294 as of March 31, 2017, and have reported net losses of $816,917 and $890,586 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to further implement our business plan, attract additional capital and, ultimately, upon our ability to develop future profitable operations. We intend to fund our business development, acquisition endeavors and operations through equity and debt financing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that these arrangements will be sufficient to fund our ongoing capital expenditures, working capital, and other cash requirements. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Additionally, current economic conditions in the United States and globally create significant challenges attaining sufficient funding.

Some of our debt agreements are due on demand. If demand for payment is made by one or multiple vendors, we would experience a liquidity issue as we do not currently have the funds available to pay off these debts. While we have entered into extensions with several of our lenders, there can be no assurances that any of the lenders will be cooperative or that if they are willing to provide extensions or forbearances, that the terms under which they may be willing to provide them will be favorable to us.

Reclassifications

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805) (ASU 2017-01). ASU 2017-01 changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business.  ASU 2017-01 requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business.  ASU 2017-01 also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606.  ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years.  We do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

A – Line of Credit – We utilized this entire bank line of credit for working capital purposes. The outstanding obligation is due on demand, has a stated initial interest rate of 10.5% that is subject to adjustment, and is guaranteed by our majority shareholder/CEO. Énergie and our CEO (collectively, “the defendants”) were served with a summons and complaint, wherein the bank brought an action to collect the amount due, including interest, costs and attorney’s fees. On April 4, 2016, the parties to this action entered into a settlement agreement whereby the defendants agreed to pay to the bank the sum of $59,177 on or before April 30, 2016. This payment was not made and the bank requested and received a judgment (the “judgment”) against both defendants jointly and severally for $61,502 plus interest of 5.25% per annum plus 9.90% per annum on the default margin. On May 10, 2017, the bank agreed to stay further execution on the judgment so long as the defendants pay the balance of the judgment in monthly payments of $5,000 per month on the fifteenth of each month, commencing on May 15, 2017. Under this agreement, interest will continue to accrue at the judgment interest rate.

B – Note payable to distribution partner – Note payable to a significant European distribution partner, entered into in October 2014, bearing interest at 5% payable quarterly, with principal payable monthly through September 2019.

C – Investor Debt – Notes payable to lenders having an ownership interest in Holdings at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. These loans are not collateralized. The following summarizes the terms and balances of the investor debt:

Table Of Contents  7

March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016		Interest Rate
$	87,787	$	87,787		24	%

D –Related Parties Debt – The following summarizes notes payable to related parties:

	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016		Interest Rate
D1	$	4,635,865	$	4,635,865		various
D3		34,888		34,888		12	%
D4		365,550		365,550		various
D5		668,176		668,176		18	%
D6		1,648,500		1,024,500		6	%
Total	$	7,352,979	$	6,719,979

D1 – Notes payable to Symbiote, Inc. (“Symbiote”), entered into from December 2014 to June 2016, with monthly principal and interest payable through November 2017. Symbiote is an owner of the common stock of Holdings, is the lessor of our manufacturing facility, and the provider of our payroll services. We also owe Symbiote $351,900 in accounts payable.

D3 – Note payable to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), entered into in December 2014, with monthly principal and interest payable through December 2016. We also owe Hal $718,941 in accrued compensation and expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.

D4 – Notes payable to the spouse of our CEO, entered into from September 2013 to March 2017, with principal and interest payments due upon a specific event or upon demand.

D5 – Notes payable to the consulting firm that employs our Chief Financial Officer, entered into from June 2015 to December 2015. These notes aggregated the previous accounts payable and accrued interest due to the consulting firm at the time the notes were made. As of January 1, 2016, the notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 75% of the volume weighted average market price of our stock over the 20 days preceding the notification of conversion. We determined that this conversion feature does not meet the requirements to be treated as a derivative; however, we did determine it was a beneficial conversion feature. Accordingly, we recorded a debt discount of $217,725, which was amortized through interest expense over the life of the notes. We also owe NOW CFO $462,099 in accounts payable.

D6 – Notes payable to the principal shareholders of Symbiote, entered into from April to March 2017, with principal and interest payments due upon a specific event or upon demand.

E – Other Notes Payable – Represents the outstanding principal balance on four separate notes bearing interest at between 6% and 24% annually. In the event we receive proceeds as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy covering our majority shareholder/CEO, repayment of principal and interest is due on one of these notes prior to using the proceeds for any other purpose.

F – Cash draw agreements – Under these agreements, the lender advances us the principal balance and then automatically withdraws a stated amount each business day. Accordingly, there is no stated interest rate. The total remaining daily payments due under these arrangements was $424,341 as of March 31, 2017. The maturity dates of the agreements range from June to September 2017.

Table Of Contents  8

G – Convertible promissory notes – Represents the outstanding principal balance on a convertible promissory note payable to an entity with interest of 8% annually, that were due in August 2016. At the option of the holder, the notes may be settled in cash or converted into shares of our common stock at any time beginning 180 days from the date of the notes at a price equal to 61% of the average closing bid price of our common stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. As we have failed to pay the note when it became due, the balance due incurs interest at the rate of 22% per annum. The note contains additional terms and conditions normally included in instruments of this kind, including a right of first refusal wherein we have granted the holders the right to match the terms of any future financing in which we engage on the same terms and contemplated in such future financing. We estimate that the fair value of the conversion feature is minimal, so no value has been assigned to the beneficial conversion feature.

Debt issuance costs of $350,916 are being amortized over the life of the respective notes.

Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies

To the best of the Company’s knowledge and belief, no legal proceedings of merit are currently pending or threatened against the Company, other than those described in Note 4.

Note 6 — Subsequent Events

There are no events subsequent to March 31, 2017 and up to the date of this filing that would require disclosure.

Note 7 — Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed similarly to basic net loss per share, except that it includes the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities are exercised. In a net loss position, however, potential securities are excluded, because they are considered anti-dilutive.

There are no dilutive instruments outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Sales Revenue, Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Sales revenue decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 2016 due to an overall lack of funding necessary for development and product launch costs. While we are continuing to seek out and discuss external financing, no assurances can be made that we will be successful in our efforts. Cost of revenue decreased proportionally to the decrease in revenues.

Operating expenses

	Three months ended March 31,
	2017		2016		Change			%
Research and development	$	68,604	$	72,991	$	(4,387	)		(6	)%
Sales and marketing		999		12,715		(11,716	)		(92	)%
General and administrative		178,112		350,775		(172,663	)		(49	)%
	$	247,715	$	436,481	$	(188,766	)		(43	)%

The decrease in operating expenses was driven by our controlling spending due to a lack of operating capital.

Other

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, interest expense increased due to additional debt of approximately $2,200,000

Other income (expense) consists primarily of other fees expenses related to seeking and securing debt and other external financing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2017 we had $53,398 in cash and cash equivalents.

We have not generated positive cash flows from operations in any year since our inception. Accordingly, our sources of liquidity may include potential debt and/or equity offerings. We believe that our principal difficulty in our inability to successfully generate positive cash flows has been the lack of available working capital to operate and expand our business. We believe we need a minimum of approximately $2,000,000 in additional working capital to be utilized for development and launching of new products for Énergie. In addition, we believe we need approximately $10,000,000 to pay off a significant portion of our debt and to begin funding the business development efforts to identify, qualify and acquire other LED lighting companies, with the balance for working capital and general and administrative expense. While we are in discussions with various potential financing groups, other than as disclosed below, we have no other commitments from any investor or investment-banking firm to provide us with the necessary funding and there can be no assurances we will obtain such funding in the future. Failure to obtain this additional financing will have a material negative impact on our ability to generate profits in the future and continue operations.

To fund our acquisition plan and fund working capital for our continuing operations we will require and are continuing to seek out and discuss financing with potential partners or lenders. These efforts have been unsuccessful thus far and there are no assurances that they will be successful in the future. Failure to obtain the financing necessary will have a significant negative impact on our Company and our ability to remain in business. We have identified multiple potential funding sources and have diligently pursued receiving financing from these sources for varying lengths of time. Management believes that these efforts will be coming to a conclusion in the near future and will either result in significant funding for us or in no funding at all. There are no assurances that these pursuits will be successful and, if none of them are successful, we will not have the financial resources to continue operations and may require relief from bankruptcy court.

In August 2015, we entered into two new convertible notes with LG Capital Funding LLC, (“LG”) under a Securities Purchase Agreement, Convertible Notes and other ancillary documents. Under these agreements, we agreed to issue 8% convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $188,684. These notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price ranging from 58% - 65% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. The notes contain additional terms and conditions normally included in instruments of this kind. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we paid off the remaining $12,700 of principal on one of the notes leaving only one convertible note outstanding. Per the terms of a settlement agreement reached with LG, we will pay $75,000 to settle all outstanding principal and interest on the outstanding note once we have the funds to do so.

Working Capital

Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. We had negative working capital of $13,934,294 and $13,087,377, respectively, as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The increase in negative working capital is due to the increase in debt of approximately $635,000 and a resulting increase in accrued liabilities of approximately $225,000 from interest expense. We also currently have insufficient cash flow to meet our debt obligations. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Table Of Contents  12

Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities were as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2017			2016
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(447,608	)	$	(254,655	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		495,552			257,155

Net cash used in operating activities increased in 2017 by $192,953 compared to 2016.  We relied heavily on increased debt, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities to keep our operations running. We anticipate that overhead costs in current operations will increase in the future if we are successful in raising the capital described herein as a result of our anticipated increased marketing and operating activities.

During 2017, we relied on additional borrowings under both new and existing debt agreements. In 2017, net cash flows provided by financing activities were composed of $642,878 of additional borrowings and $147,326 of debt pay down. In 2016, we borrowed $351,685 of additional debt and paid down $94,530 of debt.

We believe that our principal difficulty in our inability to successfully generate profits has been the lack of available capital to operate and expand our business.  We believe we need a minimum of approximately $2,000,000 in additional working capital to be utilized for development and launching of new products for Énergie. In addition, we believe we need approximately $10,000,000 to pay off a significant portion of our debt and to begin funding the business development efforts to identify, qualify and acquire other LED lighting companies, with the balance for working capital and general and administrative expense.  As of the date of this report, other than as disclosed below, we have no other commitment from any investor or investment-banking firm to provide us with the necessary funding and there can be no assurances we will obtain such funding in the future.  Failure to obtain this additional financing will have a material negative impact on our ability to generate profits in the future. 

Inflation

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, as that term is defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017.   This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2017, because (a) we have limited entity-level controls, because of the time constraints for our management team; (b) we have a lack of segregation of duties due to limited personnel; and (c) we have not implemented adequate system-based and manual controls.  We have engaged consultants to evaluate our processes and procedures, and to implement, document and test additional internal controls. We can provide no assurance, however, that our internal controls will be effective in the near future.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In July 2015, Énergie LLC and Harold Hansen, our CEO (collectively, “the Defendants”), were served with a summons and complaint wherein Vectra Bank Colorado, National Association brought an action to collect monies due pursuant to a promissory note in the current principal balance of $47,000, plus interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The action was brought in the District Court for the City and County of Denver, Colorado (the “Court”). On April 4, 2016, the parties to this action entered into a settlement agreement whereby the Defendants agreed to pay to Vectra Bank the sum of $59,177 on or before April 30, 2016. This payment was not made and the bank requested and received a judgment against both Defendants jointly and severally for $61,502 plus interest of 5.25% per annum plus 9.90% per annum on the default margin. On May 10, 2017, Vectra Bank agreed to stay further execution on the judgment so long as the defendants pay the balance of the judgment in monthly payments of $5,000 per month on the fifteenth of each month, commencing on May 15, 2017. Under this agreement, interest will continue to accrue at the judgment interest rate.

As a result of our lack of available capital we are unable to pay many of our bills and outstanding promissory notes when they become due. While we have not been threatened specifically with litigation, it is impractical to believe or assume that our creditors will not pursue actions against us to collect balances due. Many of these obligations and agreements contain provisions requiring us to pay costs of collection and attorneys’ fees over and above the principal amounts due, which may increase these outstanding balances.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As a smaller reporting company, as that term is defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 5. Other Information

None.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1 — Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

ExeLED Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 20, 1986 under the name “Verilink Corporation.” We have also been known as Energie Holdings, Inc. and Alas Aviation Corp. On December 31, 2013, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with OELC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Énergie LLC (hereinafter referred to as, “Énergie”). The Share Exchange Agreement was not effective until July 2, 2014 due to a variety of conditions subsequent that needed to be met, which are described below. Upon effectiveness, we issued 33,000,000 “restricted” shares of our common stock, representing approximately 65% of our then issued and outstanding voting securities, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding member interests of Énergie. The accounting is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible is recorded.

Thereafter, on January 27, 2014, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with two of our then wholly owned subsidiaries, Energie Holdings, Inc. and Alas Acquisition Company. The net effect of the Merger Agreement was to effectuate a name change from Alas Aviation Corp., to Energie Holdings, Inc. in order to provide a better understanding to investors of our entry into the LED lighting industry. Our management also changed.

All references herein to “us,” “we,” “our,” “Holdings,” or the “Company” refer to ExeLED Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and their respective business following the consummation of the Merger and Share Exchange Agreements, unless the context otherwise requires.

Description of Business

We are focused on acquiring and growing specialized LED lighting companies for the architecture and interior design markets for both commercial and residential applications.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, has been derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of this interim information. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for the entire year. The information included in this report should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2016.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had an equity deficit of $14,117,844 and a working capital deficit of $13,934,294 as of March 31, 2017, and have reported net losses of $816,917 and $890,586 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to further implement our business plan, attract additional capital and, ultimately, upon our ability to develop future profitable operations. We intend to fund our business development, acquisition endeavors and operations through equity and debt financing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that these arrangements will be sufficient to fund our ongoing capital expenditures, working capital, and other cash requirements. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Additionally, current economic conditions in the United States and globally create significant challenges attaining sufficient funding.

Some of our debt agreements are due on demand. If demand for payment is made by one or multiple vendors, we would experience a liquidity issue as we do not currently have the funds available to pay off these debts. While we have entered into extensions with several of our lenders, there can be no assurances that any of the lenders will be cooperative or that if they are willing to provide extensions or forbearances, that the terms under which they may be willing to provide them will be favorable to us.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805) (ASU 2017-01). ASU 2017-01 changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business.  ASU 2017-01 requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business.  ASU 2017-01 also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606.  ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years.  We do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

A – Line of Credit – We utilized this entire bank line of credit for working capital purposes. The outstanding obligation is due on demand, has a stated initial interest rate of 10.5% that is subject to adjustment, and is guaranteed by our majority shareholder/CEO. Énergie and our CEO (collectively, “the defendants”) were served with a summons and complaint, wherein the bank brought an action to collect the amount due, including interest, costs and attorney’s fees. On April 4, 2016, the parties to this action entered into a settlement agreement whereby the defendants agreed to pay to the bank the sum of $59,177 on or before April 30, 2016. This payment was not made and the bank requested and received a judgment (the “judgment”) against both defendants jointly and severally for $61,502 plus interest of 5.25% per annum plus 9.90% per annum on the default margin. On May 10, 2017, the bank agreed to stay further execution on the judgment so long as the defendants pay the balance of the judgment in monthly payments of $5,000 per month on the fifteenth of each month, commencing on May 15, 2017. Under this agreement, interest will continue to accrue at the judgment interest rate.

B – Note payable to distribution partner – Note payable to a significant European distribution partner, entered into in October 2014, bearing interest at 5% payable quarterly, with principal payable monthly through September 2019.

C – Investor Debt – Notes payable to lenders having an ownership interest in Holdings at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. These loans are not collateralized. The following summarizes the terms and balances of the investor debt:

March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016		Interest Rate
$	87,787	$	87,787		24	%
	50,000		50,000		24	%

D –Related Parties Debt – The following summarizes notes payable to related parties:

	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016		Interest Rate
D1	$	4,635,865	$	4,635,865		various

D6		1,648,500		1,024,500		6	%
Total	$	7,352,979	$	6,719,979

D1 – Notes payable to Symbiote, Inc. (“Symbiote”), entered into from December 2014 to June 2016, with monthly principal and interest payable through November 2017. Symbiote is an owner of the common stock of Holdings, is the lessor of our manufacturing facility, and the provider of our payroll services. We also owe Symbiote $351,900 in accounts payable.

D3 – Note payable to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), entered into in December 2014, with monthly principal and interest payable through December 2016. We also owe Hal $718,941 in accrued compensation and expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.

D4 – Notes payable to the spouse of our CEO, entered into from September 2013 to March 2017, with principal and interest payments due upon a specific event or upon demand.

D5 – Notes payable to the consulting firm that employs our Chief Financial Officer, entered into from June 2015 to December 2015. These notes aggregated the previous accounts payable and accrued interest due to the consulting firm at the time the notes were made. As of January 1, 2016, the notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 75% of the volume weighted average market price of our stock over the 20 days preceding the notification of conversion. We determined that this conversion feature does not meet the requirements to be treated as a derivative; however, we did determine it was a beneficial conversion feature. Accordingly, we recorded a debt discount of $217,725, which was amortized through interest expense over the life of the notes. We also owe NOW CFO $462,099 in accounts payable.

D6 – Notes payable to the principal shareholders of Symbiote, entered into from April to March 2017, with principal and interest payments due upon a specific event or upon demand.

E – Other Notes Payable – Represents the outstanding principal balance on four separate notes bearing interest at between 6% and 24% annually. In the event we receive proceeds as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy covering our majority shareholder/CEO, repayment of principal and interest is due on one of these notes prior to using the proceeds for any other purpose.

F – Cash draw agreements – Under these agreements, the lender advances us the principal balance and then automatically withdraws a stated amount each business day. Accordingly, there is no stated interest rate. The total remaining daily payments due under these arrangements was $424,341 as of March 31, 2017. The maturity dates of the agreements range from June to September 2017.

G – Convertible promissory notes – Represents the outstanding principal balance on a convertible promissory note payable to an entity with interest of 8% annually, that were due in August 2016. At the option of the holder, the notes may be settled in cash or converted into shares of our common stock at any time beginning 180 days from the date of the notes at a price equal to 61% of the average closing bid price of our common stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. As we have failed to pay the note when it became due, the balance due incurs interest at the rate of 22% per annum. The note contains additional terms and conditions normally included in instruments of this kind, including a right of first refusal wherein we have granted the holders the right to match the terms of any future financing in which we engage on the same terms and contemplated in such future financing. We estimate that the fair value of the conversion feature is minimal, so no value has been assigned to the beneficial conversion feature.

Debt issuance costs of $350,916 are being amortized over the life of the respective notes.

Note 7 — Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed similarly to basic net loss per share, except that it includes the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities are exercised. In a net loss position, however, potential securities are excluded, because they are considered anti-dilutive.

There are no dilutive instruments outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
