GTX CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 AND 2021
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
During
the periods covered by these financial statements, GTX Corp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “GTX”, “we”,
“us”, and “our”) were engaged in business operations that design, manufacture and sell various interrelated and
complementary products and services in the wearable technology and Personal Location Services marketplace. GTX owns
Global Trek Xploration, Inc. focuses on the design, manufacturing and sales distribution of its hardware, software, and connectivity, Global Positioning System (“GPS”) and Bluetooth Low Energy (“BLE”) monitoring and tracking platform, which provides real-time tracking and monitoring of people and high valued assets. Utilizing a miniature quad-band GPRS transceiver, antenna, circuitry, battery and inductive charging pad our solutions can be customized and integrated into numerous products whose location and movement can be monitored in real time over the Internet through our 24x7 tracking portal or on a web enabled cellular telephone. Our core products and services are supported by an intellectual property (“IP”) portfolio of patents, patents pending, registered trademarks, copyrights, URLs and a library of software source code, all of which is also managed by Global Trek.
LOCiMOBILE, Inc., is the Companies digital platform which has been at the forefront of Smartphone application (“App”) development since 2008. With a suite of mobile applications that turn the iPhone, iPad, Android and other GPS enabled handsets into a tracking device which can be tracked from handset to handset or through our tracking portal or on any connected device with internet access. LOCiMOBILE has launched over 20 Apps across multi mobile device operating systems and continues to launch consumer and enterprise apps.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GTX have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and applicable regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations have been included. Our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of GTX Corp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has a stockholders’ deficit
of $
| 7 |
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has also included explanatory language in their opinion accompanying the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of debt or equity is unknown. The ability to obtain additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, or its ability to achieve profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations, and there is no assurance that these can be achieved. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASC 606”). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which include (1) identifying the contract or agreement with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer. Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time.
All of the Company’s products are offered for sale as finished goods only, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them.
The Company does not allow for returns, except for damaged products when the damage occurred pre-fulfillment. Damaged product returns have historically been insignificant. Because of this, the stand-alone nature of our products, and our assessment of performance obligations and transaction pricing for our sales contracts, we do not currently maintain a contract asset or liability balance for obligations. We assess our contracts and the reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly basis.
We derive our revenues primarily from hardware sales, subscription services fees, IP licensing and professional services fees. Hardware includes our SmartSole, Military and other Stand-Alone Devices. Subscription services revenues consist of fees from customers accessing our cloud-based software solutions and subscription or license fees for our platform. Professional services and other revenues consist primarily of fees from implementation services, configuration, data services, training and managed services related to our solutions. IP licensing is related to our agreement with Inventergy whereby we have partnered in order to monetize our IP portfolio.
Product sales
At the inception of each contract, we assess the goods and services promised in our contracts and identify each distinct performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to the customer in an amount that depicts the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to for the related products or services. For the large majority of the Company’s sales, transfer of control occurs once product has shipped and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer.
| 8 |
Services Income
The Company’s software solutions are available for use as hosted application arrangements under subscription fee agreements without licensing perpetual rights to the software. Subscription fees from these applications are recognized over time on a ratable basis over the customer agreement term beginning on the date the Company’s solution is made available to the customer. Our subscription contracts are generally one to three months in length. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and deferred revenues or revenues, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.
The majority of our professional services arrangements are recognized on a time and materials basis. Professional services revenues recognized on a time and materials basis are measured monthly based on time incurred and contractually agreed upon rates. Certain professional services revenues are based on fixed fee arrangements and revenues are recognized based on the proportional performance method. In some cases, the terms of our time and materials and fixed fee arrangements may require that we defer the recognition of revenue until contractual conditions are met. Data services and training revenues are generally recognized as the services are performed.
IP Licensing Revenue
Licensing revenue recorded by the Company relates exclusively to the Company’s License and Partnership agreement with Inventergy which provides for ongoing royalties based on monetization of IP licenses. The Company recognizes revenue for royalties under ASC 606, which provides revenue recognition constraints by requiring the recognition of revenue at the later of the following: 1) sale or usage of the products or 2) satisfaction of the performance obligations. The Company has satisfied its performance obligations and therefore recognizes licensing revenue when the sales to which the license(s) relate are completed. During the periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company did not recognize any licensing revenue.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We
extend credit based on our evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. We carry our accounts receivable at net realizable
value. We monitor our exposure to losses on receivables and maintain allowances for potential losses or adjustments. We determine these
allowances by (1) evaluating the aging of our receivables; and (2) reviewing high-risk customers financial condition. Past due receivable
balances are written off when our internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful in collecting the amount due. Our allowance for
doubtful accounts was $
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Product Warranty
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, tangible and intangible long-term asset valuation, warranty and other obligations and commitments. Estimates are updated on an ongoing basis and are evaluated based on historical experience and current circumstances. Changes in facts and circumstances in the future may give rise to changes in these estimates which may cause actual results to differ from current estimates.
| 9 |
Fair Value Estimates
Pursuant to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 820, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, the Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC No. 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. ASC No. 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
| Level 1 - | Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. | |
| Level 2 - | Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the asset/liability’s anticipated life. | |
| Level 3 - | Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. |
The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment in marketable securities, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying values of notes payable and other financing obligations approximate their fair values because interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.
Concentrations
We currently rely on one manufacturer to supply us with our GPS SmartSole and one manufacturer to supply us with the GPS device included in the GPS SmartSole. The loss of either of these manufacturers could severely impede our ability to manufacture the GPS SmartSole.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had
three customers representing approximately
The Company accounts for share-based awards to employees and nonemployees directors and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation., and under the recently issued guidance following FASB’s pronouncement, ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under ASC 718, and applicable updates adopted, share-based awards are valued at fair value on the date of grant and that fair value is recognized over the requisite service, or vesting, period. The Company values its equity awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and accounts for forfeitures when they occur.
Marketable Securities
The
Company’s securities investments that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified
as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market price (level 1) on the balance sheet in current
assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the fair value
of our investment in marketable securities was $
| 10 |
Derivative Liabilities
Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instrument and risk-free rates of return, our current Common Stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our Common Stock price over the life of the option.
At
March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of the derivative liabilities was $
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Shares of restricted stock are included in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the date they are granted unless they are antidilutive. Diluted loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. As small business filer, the standard will be effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

10. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
Under authoritative guidance used by the FASB on determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. The Company has issued certain convertible notes which conversion prices are based on a future market price. However, since the number of shares to be issued is not explicitly limited, the Company is unable to conclude that enough authorized and unissued shares are available to share settle the conversion option. As a result, the conversion option is classified as a liability and bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815 and will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
At
March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of the derivative liabilities was $
11. EQUITY
The Company has shares of preferred stock authorized. From this pool the following preferred shares have been classified as:
Preferred Stock – Series A
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company authorized of Series A preferred shares, which shares have voting rights equal to two-thirds of all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, shall be entitled to vote on all matters of the corporation, and shall have the majority vote of the board of directors. The subject preferred stock lacks any dividend rights, does not have liquidation preference, and is not convertible into common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued million Series A preferred shares to certain officers and board members. The shares remain outstanding as of March 31, 2022.
At December 31, 2020 is was determined that the Preferred A shareholders having the majority vote, can agree to increase the number of authorized shares, if needed, to settle any convertible debt, and thus any derivative liabilities are not necessary to reserve for this.

COVID-19
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses that the Company, other businesses and governments are taking continue to evolve. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.
Due to COVID-19, we have experienced some changes in our business, that have been both positive and negative. Specifically, the Company’s IP licensing business has been negatively impacted by the global financial slowdown and many courts, judges and law firms are not working at full capacity, which is creating delays in finalizing licensing agreements or litigation. We have also experienced a small percentage of subscriptions being either cancelled or requested to be put on pause, due to financial hardships. On the positive side we saw an increase in product sales specifically with medical supplies and equipment. Overall, our revenues have not been materially impacted as a whole, however there have been some shifts with certain revenue streams doing better post COVID and others doing worse.
The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s customers, service providers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of Company’s financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may in the future materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.

Overview
As we started seeing an end to COVID on a grand scale and a return to normal operations and staffing, the Company began mapping out its 2022 post pandemic course. Early in the quarter we focused on selling down our remaining PPE inventory under our health & safety mission, completed our R&D and testing and geared up for our Cat M1 LTE SmartSole launch. With businesses opening back up and overall general travel picking back up we saw a 132% increase in B2B sales and a 34% decrease in net loss. Overall revenues were down by 27% compared to the previous comparable period and only a slight 3% increase in expenses. We started to ship SmartSole preorders near the end of the first quarter and expect our subscriptions to start ramping back up in the second quarter. We also saw continued demand for the new 4G SmartSoles with several thousand units forecasted over the next several months just from our international distributors. As part of our ongoing fiscally responsible efforts to enhance our balance sheet, we reduced our short-term government loans by $68k, and eliminated all of our variable priced convertible debt, leaving only fixed price convertible debt above market or low interest rate non-convertible debt and took on no new debt.
In early January we had a surge in orders for medical supplies which enabled us to convert paid for inventory into cash while reducing our overall supply inventory levels. We also produced and committed production to close to 500 pairs of SmartSoles, which also enabled us to convert paid for components into finished product and start back filling pre orders. We also started working on a new version of our tracking app and a new ecommerce store on the Shopify platform, which will enable us to have more capabilities to sell through social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, along with having better accounting and inventory management capabilities as we start ramping up domestic sales.
During the first quarter of 2022, we continued to expand or intellectual property portfolio by being issued two new patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). U.S. patent number 11,272,761 which is now the 4th patent to be issued in the GPS SmartSole family (the “SmartSole Patent”) and U.S. patent 11,272,313 which is now the 6th patent to be issued in the Comm Protocol family (the “Comm Protocol Patent”).
The SmartSole Patent covers proprietary ways to protect and manufacture a GPS electronic module, including the inductive charging unit inside an orthotic insole. The patent has twenty claims, two of which are independent and an open continuation for further expansion, which has already been submitted to the USPTO.
The Comm Protocol Patent also has twenty claims and is significant for several reasons; first by adding another layer to GTX’s competitive landscape on device to backend server communications which is important now but could add even more value in the future as the Company adds more biometric devices to its platform and unveils the Longevity Revolution product roadmap, Second, the Comm Protocol family has been the crown jewel of GTX’s IP licensing campaign. By adding this new patent with an open ongoing continuation (also recently filed with the USPTO), it should enhance the strength and value of the portfolio for future licensing agreements.
GTX’s growing patent portfolio highlights the commitment the Company has dedicated over the years to protecting its innovations in order to position the Company for growth in the future. The strategy, which was implemented over a decade ago, to file patents both on the hardware / device side and on the device / server communication side, while continuing that strategy all along the product development cycle, should support the increasing value of this intellectual property asset as the Company expands its platform from location monitoring to location and remote patient monitoring (RPM) preventive care.
During the first quarter we began the development of a new wearable NFC product, designed to provide remote monitor to cognitively and speech impaired individuals. We have begun testing prototypes and placed our first production run with our factory. If all goes well with the testing and the production, we expect to launch this product both B2C and B2B, sometime before the third quarter 2022. Until recenty, our NFC product sales have been limited and only sold direct to consumer (B2C). However, during the first quarter of 2022 we expanded our NFC sales into B2B channels and started providing NFC chips along with professional services to a startup company called Endsate. This company designs and manufactures high end sneakers embedded with NFT and NFC technology that unites the experience from digital art to physical products, which provides the ability to wear the sneakers in the metaverse. We have been providing Endstate with NFC chips, technology and professional services since December of 2021 leading up to their commercial rollout in Q1 2022. So far Endstae has ordered close to 700 chips from us which we began to deliver at the end of the first quarter and will continue to deliver into the second quarter.
We remain optimistic that COVID-19 pandemic is behind us. However, we still have some inventory on hand and solid relationships with our vendors so, in case there is another surge in demand we will be ready to serve our customers. But based on the current events and sales trends, our focus now is on ramping up sales of the new SmartSoles, NFC products, other medical wearable devices, A.I. and IP licensing rather than PPE sales. Health & Safety, Track & Trace were the big buzz words that came out of 2021. Everyone wants to be healthy, live better and longer, and know where someone or something is and has been. We believe we are in a position to monetize these trends and keep hearing from many of our B2B customers and international distributors that they want more wearable solutions and technology. Hence, why a big part of Q1 was focused on new product development and making sure that we will have inventory on hand and in the pipeline to meet the global demand throughout 2022 and beyond.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Revenues
Revenues were $168,516 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $230,521 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of 27%, This decrease was primarily driven from transitioning out of direct-to-consumer PPE sales into our core B2B business.
During the period ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s customer base and revenue streams were comprised of approximately 71.61% B2B (Wholesale Distributors and Enterprise Institutions), 28.39% B2C (consumers and government agencies who bought on the behalf of consumers, through our online ecommerce platform and through Amazon, Google and iTunes), 0% IP (our monetization campaign from consulting, licensing and asserting our patents) and 0% Military and Law Enforcement.
During the period ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s customer base and revenue streams were comprised of approximately 22.47% B2B (Wholesale Distributors and Enterprise Institutions), 77.05% B2C (consumers and government agencies who bought on the behalf of consumers, through our online ecommerce platform and through Amazon, Google and iTunes), 0% IP (our monetization campaign from consulting, licensing and asserting our patents) and 0.48% Military and Law Enforcement.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold were $94,862 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $147,161 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of 36%.This decrease was primarily due to the shift form COVID related PPE’s with less margins, to the higher margin 4G SmartSoles. As a result, total gross margin, increased from 36% in fiscal 2021 to 44% in fiscal 2022.
| 21 |
We expect our margins to increase once we start ramping up our subscriptions and licensing and sell more of our proprietary products like our SmartSoles, where we have no competition. Our overall gross margin was slightly lower in 2021, predominately because most of our revenues came from product sales which require competitive pricing, and that includes shipping charges. In order to be competitive with the major online retailers (many of them include free shipping) we had to reduce our shipping charges to be in line with competitors.
Wages and benefits
Wages and benefits decreased $3,036, or 2%, in three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2021.This decrease was primarily the result of lower staffing expenses.
Professional fees
Professional fees consist of costs attributable to consultants and contractors who primarily spend their time on legal, accounting, product development, business development, corporate advisory services and shareholder communications. Such costs decreased $2,009 or 2% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Even though some professional fees have decreased as more responsibilities were transferred from outside contractors and consultants to in-house personnel. Those fees related to investor relations and business development have increased due to new products lines and the impending release of the company’s updated SmartSole products.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 6% or $606 in three months ended March 31, 2022 in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to the release of the new 4G SmartSole.
General and administrative
General and administrative costs in three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $13,065 or 27% in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2021, mostly due to increases in depreciation related to development costs and software expenses.
Other income/(expense), net
Other expense, net decreased 129% or $114,364 in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily as a result of the gain of $67,870 from the forgiveness of CARE loans and no loss on the extinguishment of debt as seen in Q1 2021.
Net income/(loss)
Net loss decreased by 33% or $96,042 from Q1 2022 to Q1 2021 primarily as a result of primarily as a result of the gain of $67,870 from the forgiveness of CARE loans and no loss on the extinguishment of debt as seen in Q1 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, we had $44,892 of cash and cash equivalents, and a working capital deficit of $2,952,685, compared to $138,342 of cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $2,829,165 as of December 31, 2021.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our net loss was $194,385 compared to a net loss of $290,427 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and in the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $118,452 and $76,730, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0, as compared to net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 which was $5,222 which consisted of proceeds totaling $1,258 received from the sale of marketable securities and $6,480 in developments cost assets.
| 22 |
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $25,000 and consisted of $25,000 received for the conversion of warrants. Net cash used by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $413,043 and consisted of $11,957 in upon our lines of credit and a term loan, and $425,000 received from financings. This represents a decrease of 88%. This reduction in additional financings is directly related to the Company not relying on convertible notes for financings, with no new convertible notes being issued.
Because revenues from our operations have, to date, been insufficient to fund our working capital needs, we currently rely on the cash we receive from our financing activities to fund our growth, capital expenditures and to support our working capital requirements. The sale of our products and services is expected to enhance our liquidity in 2022, although the amount of revenues we receive in 2022 still cannot be estimated.
Until such time as our products and services can support our working capital requirement, we expect to continue to generate revenues from our other licenses, subscriptions, international distributors, hardware sales, professional services and new customers in the pipeline. However, the amount of such revenues is unknown and is not expected to be sufficient to fund our working capital needs. For our internal budgeting purposes, we have assumed that such revenues will not be sufficient to fund all of our planned operating and other expenditures during 2022. In addition, our actual cash expenditures may exceed our planned expenditures, particularly if we invest in the development of improved versions of our existing products and technologies, and if we increase our marketing expenses. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will have to continue to raise additional capital in order to fund our operations in 2022 No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain the additional funding we need to continue our operations.
In order to continue funding our growth, IP and working capital needs and new product development costs, during the first quarter of 2022 we continued to draw down on our credit line to fund purchase orders. However, no assurance can be given that the investor will provide the funding, if and when requested by us.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Based on the evaluation as of December 31, 2021, for the reasons set forth below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
These are not all of the risks associated with the Company and must be used in conjunction with those disclosed in the most recent December 31, 2021 10K filing.
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses that the Company, other businesses and governments are taking continue to evolve. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.
Due to COVID-19, we have experienced some changes in our business, that have been both positive and negative. Specifically, the Company’s IP licensing business has been negatively impacted by the global financial slowdown and many courts, judges and law firms are not working at full capacity, which is creating delays in finalizing licensing agreements or litigation. We have also experienced a small percentage of subscriptions being either cancelled or requested to be put on pause, due to financial hardships. On the positive side we saw an increase in product sales specifically with medical supplies and equipment. Overall, our revenues have not been materially impacted as a whole, however there have been some shifts with certain revenue streams doing better post COVID and others doing worse.
The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s customers, service providers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of Company’s financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may in the future materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.
