Escalon Medical Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

 Escalon Medical Corp. (“Escalon” or the “Company” ) is a Pennsylvania corporation initially incorporated in California in 1987, and reincorporated in Pennsylvania in November 2001. Within this document, the “Company” collectively shall mean Escalon and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Sonomed, Inc. (“Sonomed”), Trek, Inc. (“Trek”), Escalon Medical Europe GmbH (“EME”), Escalon Digital Solutions, Inc. (“EMI”), Escalon Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Pharmaceutical” inactive), Escalon Holdings, Inc. (“EHI”), Escalon IP Holdings, Inc., Sonomed IP Holdings, Inc., Drew Scientific Holdings, Inc. (discontinued), Drew Scientific Inc. (discontinued), and Drew Scientific Group, Plc (“Drew”) and its subsidiaries (discontinued). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
    
The Company operates in the healthcare market, specializing in the development, manufacture, marketing, and distribution of medical devices and pharmaceuticals in the area of ophthalmology. The Company and its products are subject to regulation and inspection by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). The FDA and other governmental authorities require extensive testing of new products prior to sale and have jurisdiction over the safety, efficacy and manufacture of products, as well as product labeling and marketing.

2.               Stock-Based Compensation

Valuations are based upon highly subjective assumptions about the future, including stock price volatility and exercise patterns. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

The Company has historically granted options under the Company's option plans with an option exercise price equal to the closing market value of the stock on the date of the grant and with vesting, primarily for Company employees, either in equal annual amounts over a two- to five-year period or immediately, and, primarily for non-employee directors, immediately.

As of September 30, 2015 and 2014 total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted to employees under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan was $29,853 and $95,061, respectively. The remaining cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.59 years. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, $9,760 and $11,918 was recorded as compensation expense, respectively.
 
The Company did not receive any cash from share option exercises under stock-based payment plans for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company did not realize any tax effect, which would be a reduction in its tax rate, on options due to the full valuation allowances established on its deferred tax assets.

The Company measures compensation expense for non-employee stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the options issued, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. Fair value is measured as the value of the Company's common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty's performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital. There was $0 and $6,542 non-employee compensation expense for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update NO. 2015-12 (Part I) Plan Accounting: Defined Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962) Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965) to reduce the complexity in employee benefit plan accounting. Under the amendments, fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are measured, presented, and disclosed only at contract value. The amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after

9

December 15, 2015. Earlier application is permitted.The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2015 FASB issued Accounting Standard Update NO. 2015-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Application of the Normal Purchases and Normal Sales Scope Exception to Certain Electricity Contracts within Nodal Energy Markets. The amendments apply to entities that enter into contracts for the purchase or sale of electricity on a forward basis and arrange for transmission through, or delivery to a location within, a nodal energy market whereby one of the contracting parties incurs charges (or credits) for the transmission of that electricity based in part on locational marginal pricing differences payable to (or receivable from) an independent system operator. The amendments specify that the use of locational marginal pricing by the independent system operator does not constitute the net settlement of the contract. If the physical delivery criterion is met, along with all of the other criteria of the normal purchase and normal scales scope exception, an entity may elect to designate that contract as a normal purchase or normal sale. The amendments in the Update are effective upon assurance and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2015 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update NO. 2015-15 Interest -Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). This update adds SEC paragraphs pursuant to the SEC Staff Announcement at the June 18, 2015 Emerging Issues Task Force (EIFF) MEETING about the presentation of subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within Update 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring an presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance cots ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
6. Fair Value Measurements
On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the FASB-issued authoritative guidance for the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value and establishes a hierarchy for reporting the reliability of input measurements used to assess fair value for all assets and liabilities. The FASB-issued authoritative guidance defines fair value as the selling price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market on the measurement date. The hierarchy prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used in the valuation technique. The inputs are categorized into the following levels:
Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Directly or indirectly observable inputs for quoted and other than quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in active or non-active markets.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs not corroborated by market data, therefore requiring the entity to use the best available information available in the circumstances, including the entity’s own data.
Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets, which approximates fair value due to their short-term, highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses.


7. Continuing Operations

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities and these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These  consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company's continuance as a going concern is dependent on its future profitability and on the on-going support of its shareholders, affiliates and creditors. In order to mitigate the going concern issues, the Company is actively pursuing business partnerships, managing our continuing operations and seeking to to sell certain assets. The Company may not be successful in any of these efforts.


10




The Company’s forecast of the period of time through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed in “Risk Factors”.If the Company raises funds in the future, the Company may be required to raise those funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements at prices and other terms that my not be as favorable as they would without such qualification. The sale of additional equity and debt securities may result in additional dilution to the Company’s shareholders. Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

8. Discontinued Operations

BH Holdings, S.A.S ("BHH")

On January 12, 2012 BHH initiated the filing of an insolvency declaration with the Tribunal de Commerce de Rennes, France ("Commercial Court").  The Commercial Court on January 18, 2012 opened the liquidation proceedings with continuation of BHH's activity for 3 months and named an administrator to manage BHH. Since Drew no longer had a controlling financial interest in BHH it was deconsolidated in the December 31, 2011 quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements and prior period amounts were presented as discontinued operations.
During fiscal year 2015 the Company was informed by French Counsel that the total amount claimed by the BHH landlord in the liquidation of BHH was approximately $86,000. The Company did not have insight into the French liquidation process due to the Liquidator's reticence to communicate with the Company. As such, the Company had accrued the present value of the maximum amount potentially due under the lease guaranteed by the Company on behalf of BHH. The landlord's claim under liquidation can not be revisited by the landlord and can only be potentially increased by interest or sundry expenses. The company recorded additional legal expense of approximately $4,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, which is included in marketing, general and administrative expense. As of September 30 and June 30, 2015, the liability was approximately $90,000 and $86,000, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in, or incorporated by reference in, this report are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which provide current expectations or forecasts of future events. Such statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “project,” “should,” “will,” and similar words or expressions. The Company's forward-looking statements include certain information relating to general business strategy, growth strategies, financial results, liquidity, discontinued operations, research and development, product development, the introduction of new products, the potential markets and uses for the Company's products, the Company's ability to increase its sales campaign effectively, the Company's regulatory filings with the FDA, acquisitions, dispositions, the development of joint venture opportunities, intellectual property and patent protection and infringement, the loss of revenue due to the expiration on termination of certain agreements, the effect of competition on the structure of the markets in which the Company competes, increased legal, accounting and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs, compliance with Nasdaq continued listing qualifications, defending the Company in litigation matters and the Company's cost saving initiatives. The reader must carefully consider forward-looking statements and understand that such statements involve a variety of risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, and may be affected by assumptions that fail to materialize as anticipated. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may vary materially. It is not possible to foresee or identify all factors affecting the Company's forward-looking statements, and the reader therefore

12

should not consider the list of such factors contained in its periodic report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 and this Form 10-Q quarterly report to be an exhaustive statement of all risks, uncertainties or potentially inaccurate assumptions.


Executive Overview—Three-Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

The following highlights are discussed in further detail within this Form 10-Q. The reader is encouraged to read this
Form 10-Q in its entirety to gain a more complete understanding of factors impacting Company performance and financial
condition.

• Consolidated product revenue from continuing operations increased approximately $151,000, or 5.7%, to $2,781,000 during the three-months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to same period of the last fiscal year. The increase in revenue is attributed to an increase of $114,000 in ultrasound products, an increase of $53,000 in surgical products and offset by a decrease of $16,000 in digital imaging cameras and AXIS image management systems.

• Consolidated cost of goods sold from continuing operations totaled approximately $1,448,000, or 52.1%, of product revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $1,367,000, or 52.0%, of product revenue from continuing operations for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase of 0.1% in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue is due mainly to the decreased margin in ultrasound products.

• Total operating expenses decreased approximately $76,000, or 4.5%, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period of prior fiscal year. This decrease was due to decreased marketing, general and administrative expenses of $112,000, or 8.1% and an increase of $36,000 or 11.1%, in research and development expenses.

• Net loss from continuing operations was approximately $293,000 for the three-months ended September 30, 2015. The Company implemented a reduction in force in October 2015 of approximately $770,000 to stem the recurring losses.

Company Overview

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with interim condensed consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto, which are set forth in Item 1 of this report.

The Company operates in the healthcare market specializing in the development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of medical devices and pharmaceuticals in the area of ophthalmology. The Company and its products are subject to regulation and inspection by the FDA. The FDA requires extensive testing of new products prior to sale and has jurisdiction over the safety, efficacy and manufacture of products, as well as product labeling and marketing. The Company's Internet address is www.escalonmed.com. Sonomed-Escalon develops, manufactures and markets ultrasound systems used for diagnosis or biometric applications in ophthalmology, develops, manufactures and distributes ophthalmic surgical products under the Trek Medical Products name, and manufactures and markets digital camera systems for ophthalmic fundus photography and image management systems.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact amounts reported therein. The most significant of those involve the application of FASB-issued authoritative guidance concerning Revenue Recognition, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, discussed further in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and, as such, include amounts based on informed estimates and judgments of management. For example, estimates are used in determining valuation allowances for deferred income taxes, uncollectible receivables, obsolete inventory, sales returns and rebates, warranty liabilities and valuation of purchased intangible assets. Actual results achieved in the future could differ from current estimates. The Company used what it believes are reasonable assumptions and, where applicable, established valuation techniques in making its estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products at the time of shipment, when title and risk of loss transfer. The Company provides products to its distributors at agreed upon wholesale prices and to the balance of its customers at

13

set retail prices. Distributors can receive discounts for accepting high volume shipments. The discounts are reflected immediately in the net invoice price, which is the basis for revenue recognition. No further material discounts are given.
 
The Company's considerations for recognizing revenue upon shipment of product to a distributor are based on the following:
 
 
 
Persuasive evidence that an arrangement (purchase order and sales invoice) exists between a willing buyer (distributor) and the Company that outlines the terms of the sale (company information, quantity of goods, purchase price and payment terms). The buyer (distributor) does not have a right of return.
 
 
 
Shipping terms are ex-factory shipping point. At this point the buyer (distributor) takes title to the goods and is responsible for all risks and rewards of ownership, including insuring the goods as necessary.
 
 
 
The Company's price to the buyer (distributor) is fixed and determinable as specifically outlined on the sales invoice. The sales arrangement does not have customer cancellation or termination clauses.
 
 
 
The buyer (distributor) places a purchase order with the Company; the terms of the sale are cash, COD or credit. Customer credit is determined based on the Company's policies and procedures related to the buyer's (distributor's) creditworthiness. Based on this determination, the Company believes that collectibility is reasonably assured.
The Company assesses collectibility based on creditworthiness of the customer and past transaction history. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral from its customers. For many of the Company's international customers, the Company requires an irrevocable letter of credit to be issued by the customer before the purchase order is accepted.
Valuation of Intangible Assets
The Company annually, and as circumstances require, evaluates for impairment its intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with FASB guidance related to goodwill and other intangible assets, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. These intangible assets include goodwill, trademarks and trade names. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future discounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If identifiable intangibles are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair market value. The Company does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, rather, such assets are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. The Company performs its intangible asset impairment tests on or about June 30, of each year. Any such impairment charge could be significant and could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial statements if and when an impairment charge is recorded.
Income/(Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income/(loss) per share under the provisions of FASB issued authoritative guidance.
Under the provisions of FASB issued authoritative guidance, basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income/(loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net income/(loss) per share excludes potential common shares if the impact is anti-dilutive. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are determined in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased by assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.

Taxes
Estimates of taxable income of the various legal entities and jurisdictions are used in the tax rate calculation. Management uses judgment in estimating what the Company's income tax will be for the year. Since judgment is involved, there is a risk that the tax rate may increase or decrease in any period.
In determining income/(loss) for financial statement purposes, management must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the

14

recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. FASB issued authoritative guidance concerning accounting for income taxes also requires that the deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.
In evaluating the Company's ability to recover the Company's deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence including the Company's past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses and near-term forecasts of future taxable income that is consistent with the plans and estimates management is using to manage the underlying businesses.
Through September 30, 2015, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets arising from net operating losses due to uncertainty of their realization as a result of the Company's earnings history, the number of years the Company's net operating losses and tax credits can be carried forward, the existence of taxable temporary differences and near-term earnings expectations. The amount of the valuation allowance could decrease if facts and circumstances change that materially increase taxable income prior to the expiration of the loss carryforwards. Any reduction in the valuation allowance would result in an income tax benefit in the period such determination is made by the Company.
The Company has adopted FASB issued guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which provides a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure in financial statements of uncertain income tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. Under the FASB guidance a company can recognize the benefit of an income tax position only if it is more likely than not (greater than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. Otherwise, no benefit can be recognized. The tax benefits recognized are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Additionally, companies are required to accrue interest and related penalties, if applicable, on all tax exposures for which reserves have been established consistent with jurisdictional tax laws. The Company has elected to recognize interest expense and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as a component of its provision for income taxes.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after July 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimate in accordance with the provisions of the FASB issued guidance. The Company recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
Valuations are based on highly subjective assumptions about the future, including stock price volatility and exercise patterns. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

Discontinued Operations

For the three-months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company had a net loss from discontinued operations of the BHH segment of $0 and $19,000, respectively. Discontinued operations is related to a BHH lease guaranteed by the Company. During fiscal year 2015 the Company was informed by French Counsel that the total amount claimed by the BHH landlord in the liquidation of BHH was approximately $86,000. The Company did not have insight into the French liquidation process due to the Liquidator's reticence to communicate with the Company. As such, the Company had accrued the present value of the maximum amount potentially due under the lease guaranteed by the Company on behalf of BHH. The landlord's claim under liquidation can not be revisited by the landlord and can only be potentially increased by interest or sundry expenses.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities and these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These  consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's continuance as a going concern is dependent on its future profitability and on the on-going support of its shareholders, affiliates and creditors. In order to mitigate the going concern issues, the Company is actively pursuing business partnership, managing our continuing operations and seeking to sell certain assets. The Company may not be successful in any of these efforts.


The Company implemented a reduction in force in October 2015 which will reduce future annual expense by approximately $770,000 to stem the recurring losses. If the Company is unable to achieve improvement in the near term, it is likely that our existing cash and cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to fund activities throughout the next 6 to 12 months without curtailing certain business activities.


The Company’s forecast of the period of time through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed in “Risk Factors”.If the Company raises funds in the future, the Company may be required to raise those funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements at prices and other terms that my not be as favorable as they would without such qualification. The sale of additional equity and debt securities may result in additional dilution to the Company’s shareholders. Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

Cash Used In or Provided By Operating Activities
During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company experienced cash outflows from continuing operating activities of $128,000 and $542,000, respectively. The net decrease in cash used in operating activities of approximately

17

$414,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year is due primarily to the following factors:
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $293,000, which includes net loss from discontinued operations of $0, and experienced net cash in flows from a decrease in accounts receivable of $549,000, an increase in post-retirement benefits of $15,000 and an increase in non-cash expenditures on depreciation and amortization and compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $5,000 and $10,000, respectively. These cash in-flows were offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expense and an increase in inventory of $285,000 and $99,000, respectively, and an increase in other current assets of $34,000.
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company had a net loss of $459,000, which includes net loss from discontinued operations of $19,000, and experienced net cash in flows from a decrease in other current assets of $48,000, a decrease in accounts receivable of $110,000, a decrease in inventory of $66,000, an increase in non-cash expenditures on depreciation and amortization and compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $3,000 and $18,000, respectively. These cash in-flows were offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expense and an increase in payment of post-retirement benefits of $326,000 and $21,000, respectively. The significant reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses is related to payments made during the period related to the increase in VuPad inventory built up in the prior quarter.

Cash Flows Used In Investing and Financing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities of $61,000 were due to the purchase of an injection mold for the new hand held GoVu pachymeter during the three-month period ended September 30, 2015.
Cash flows used in investing activities of $8,000 were due to the purchase of fixed assets during the three-month period ended September 30, 2014.
There were no cash flows used in or provided by financing activities during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Continuing Operations

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Escalon Medical Corp. (“Escalon” or the “Company”) has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities and these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These  consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company's continuance as a going concern is dependent on its future profitability and on the on-going support of its shareholders, affiliates and creditors. In order to mitigate the going concern issues, the Company is actively pursuing business partnerships, managing our continuing operations and seeking to sell certain assets. The Company may not be successful in any of these efforts.


The Company implemented a reduction in force in October 2015, which will reduce future annual expenses by approximately $770,000 to stem the recurring losses. If the Company is unable to achieve improvement in the near term, it is likely that our existing cash and cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to fund activities throughout the next 6 to 12 months without curtailing certain business activities.


The Company’s forecast of the period of time through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed in “Risk Factors”.If the Company raises funds in the future, the Company may be required to raise those funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements at prices and other terms that my not be as favorable as they would without such qualification. The sale of additional equity and debt securities may result in additional dilution to the Company’s shareholders. Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

(A)    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify the Company's financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
