NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization – FINDEX.cOM, Inc.
Findex.com, Inc.'s headquarters and operations are based in Lake Park, Florida. The Company is a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of a proprietary line of specialty industrial glass-based smart surface coatings materials that have a broad range of industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. The Company's line of products center around a U.S. patented technology that, either on its own or when coupled with any of an array of available proprietary formula additives, offers a unique combination of beneficial surface properties that allow for a broad array of multi-surface and end-product applications. Among others, such applications include:
▪ | Heavy machinery, equipment and infrastructure throughout each of the construction, oil and gas, and mining industries | |
▪ | Marine industry, vessels and infrastructure | |
▪ | Industrial HVAC equipment, commercial refrigeration systems, and power generators | |
▪ | Energy production equipment, including solar and wind | |
▪ | Hardscapes |
On September 14, 2016, the Company became the holder of what is currently an approximately 25% minority equity stake in a recently formed, closely-held, private limited liability company, Advanced Nanofibers LLC ("Advanced"). Advanced is comprised of three entity members, including the Company, Nanotech Fibers LLC, and EnVont, LLC. The Company's president and chief executive officer currently holds a 18.75% equity interest in Nanotech Fibers LLC through a closely held private Florida limited liability company, August Center Street Holdings LLC. August Center Street Holdings is owned 75% by the Company's president and chief executive officer and 25% by the Company's general counsel. Advanced is a Florida based nanotechnology firm focused on fundamentally broadening the industrial utilization of nanofibers and nanoparticles globally throughout a diverse range of mass-market applications. It's platform technological contributions and sustainable solutions center around (i) meaningfully proprietary, and expected-to-be revolutionary, industrially disruptive advances in the custom molecular bonding of nanofibers to application-specific nanoparticles such that the result in each case is an unparalleled, multifunctional ‘super'-composite exhibiting new and meaningfully superior physical, flexural, chemical and structural properties, (ii) ultra-cost-efficient production capabilities at scale, and (iii) the application of internally-developed breakthrough environmental safety advances throughout the handling and production process of its potentially hazardous materials. Its nanoparticle bonded nanofibers mark a new age in polymeric-based advanced composites. Based on their fundamental composition, Advanced is able to produce these materials in a virtually limitless array of industrial application-specific varieties, to be used either alone or in conjunction with other fibers and materials, making nanoparticle bonded nanofibers an ideal host for a variety of advanced composites.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future period. The December 31, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Findex.com, Inc. included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2016.

Table of Contents |
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the Company's 2015 financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in 2016 financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates include inventory evaluation for slow moving and obsolete items, collectability of accounts receivable, assessing intangibles for impairment, useful lives of assets, and valuation of stock based compensation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORY
The Company's inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out method. The Company's inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods. The Company takes into consideration certain inventory items that are slow moving and obsolete and calculates a provision for these inventory items.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS OTHER THAN GOODWILL
The Company's intangible assets consist of patents and patents pending acquired from third parties, and are recorded at cost. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill , intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, generally three to ten years. All intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) number 104, Revenue Recognition. SAB 104 clarifies application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to revenue transactions. Under certain circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 139 and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 00-2 (collectively referred to as "SOP 00-2"). The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete. That is, when the arrangements of the goods are documented, the pricing becomes final and collectability is reasonably assured. An allowance for bad debt is provided based on estimated losses.
Revenue is recognized when a product is delivered or shipped to the customer and all material conditions relating to the sale have been substantially performed.
F- 5 |
Table of Contents |
In addition, within the Company's operations as a whole, the Company derives part of its revenues from the sale of downloadable software products. The Company recognizes software revenue for software products and related services in accordance with ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition . The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (generally a purchase order), the Company has delivered the product, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. In some situations, the Company receives advance payments from the Company's customers. The Company defers revenue associated with these advance payments until the Company ships the products or offers the support.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development costs consist of direct production costs, including labor directly associated with the development of projects and outside consultants, and indirect costs such as those associated with facilities use. For labor costs and costs of outside consultants, the Company records the research and development costs as a reduction against either personnel costs or professional fees. For facilities leasing related expenses, the Company records the research and development costs as a reduction against rent. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $149,358 and $205,555, respectively, in research and development costs.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company recognizes share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation , using the modified prospective method. ASC 718 requires that the Company measure the cost of the employee services received in exchange for an award for equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value and to recognize this cost over the requisite service period. See Note 11.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share , to calculate and report basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by giving effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. For the Company, dilutive potential shares of common stock consist of the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants for all periods, convertible notes payable and the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible preferred stock.
When discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and/or the cumulative effect of an accounting change are present, income before any of such items on a per share basis represents the "control number" in determining whether potential shares of common stock are dilutive or anti-dilutive. Thus, the same number of potential shares of common stock used in computing diluted EPS for income from continuing operations is used in calculating all other reported diluted EPS amounts. In the case of a net loss, it is assumed that no incremental shares would be issued because they would be anti-dilutive. In addition, certain options and warrants are considered anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were above the average market price during the period. Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the computation of diluted EPS, in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-17.
The calculations of net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 excluded the impact of the following potential common shares as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
For the Nine Months Ended September 30 | 2016 | 2015 | ||||||
Shares Issuable Upon Exercise of Outstanding Warrants | 100,000 | 4,150,000 | ||||||
Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Outstanding Convertible Note Payables | 189,554,683 | 24,500,000 | ||||||
Total weighted average anti-dilutive potential common shares | 189,654,683 | 28,650,000 |

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On May 5, 2011, Findex entered into a Software Product Line Purchase Agreement with WORDsearch Corp., L.L.C. In accordance with the Software Product Line Purchase Agreement, WORDsearch agreed to acquire from Findex all of the assets associated with the QuickVerse ® product line which centered around Findex's industry-leading Bible-study software program. The specific assets conveyed include, among others, the underlying software source code, registered trade names, and existing product inventories. As a result, the Company has classified any associated liabilities as well as all expenses directly related to the QuickVerse ® product line as discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. See Note 14.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
At September 30, 2016, there were no recent accounting pronouncements that the Company believed would have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates the Company's continuation as a going concern. However, as of September 30, 2016, the Company had negative working capital of $2,750,885 and had an accumulated deficit of $6,178,134. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management has taken several actions in an attempt to mitigate this risk. These actions include capital raising initiatives involving the issuance of equity and/or notes payable to investors, as well as cash conservation initiatives involving the issuance of equity and/or notes payable to employees and related parties. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to these uncertainties.
NOTE 3 – INVENTORIES
Inventories consisted of the following:
September 30, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | |||||||
Raw materials | $ | 24,359 | $ | 24,753 | ||||
Finished goods | 1,778 | 4,364 | ||||||
Reserve for obsolete inventory | (2,279 | ) | (9,320 | ) | ||||
Inventories | $ | 23,858 | $ | 19,797 |
NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED INVESTEE
On September 14, 2016, the Company entered into a certain operating agreement pursuant to which we became the holder of (what currently constitutes) a roughly 25% equity (membership) interest in a newly formed, closely held private Florida limited liability company joint venture, Advanced Nanofibers LLC ("Advanced"). The membership interest in Advanced was acquired in exchange for a capital contribution in cash by us to Advanced in the amount of $1,000 (together with certain going-forward non-cash contributions). Advanced was otherwise capitalized with contributions in cash totaling $3,000 by two other parties to the operating agreement, Nanotech Fibers LLC and EnVont, LLC, both Florida limited liability companies. Advanced is comprised of three entity members, including the Company, Nanotech Fibers LLC, and EnVont, LLC. The Company's president and chief executive officer currently holds a 18.75% equity interest in Nanotech Fibers LLC through a closely held private Florida limited liability company, August Center Street Holdings LLC. August Center Street Holdings is owned 75% by the Company's president and chief executive officer and 25% by the Company's general counsel. As of September 30, 2016, there was no other material transactional activity associated with this joint venture.
NOTE 5 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consisted of the following:
September 30, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | |||||||
Office equipment | $ | 3,466 | $ | 3,466 | ||||

Table of Contents |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $13,446 and $13,095, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company invested $10,334 in building out a new research lab within our corporate headquarters located in the Lake Park, Florida. The new research lab will replace the research lab located in Daytona Beach, Florida which was relocated in July 2016. See Note 12.
NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company's intangible assets consist of patents and patents pending acquired from third parties, and are recorded at cost.

NOTE 10 – GAIN ON DEBT SETTLEMENT
In March 2015, the Company recognized a gain on debt settlement in the amount of $200,000. This gain is a result of entering into a loan modification agreement with a shareholder that had held an outstanding convertible note agreement in the amount of $250,000 carrying a conversion feature that had the accounting effect of increasing the derivative liability associated with the obligation from $250,000 to $500,000.

cancelled. In addition, the loan modification called for a replacement note payable to be entered into at the adjusted principal amount of $300,000, total, but without any conversion feature exercisable on the part of the holder.

Description of Business
Findex.com, Inc. ("Findex," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") headquarters and operations are based in Lake Park, Florida. Other than two legacy businesses neither of which were material to our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we are a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of a proprietary line of specialty industrial glass-based smart surface coatings materials that have a broad range of industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. Our line of products center around a U.S. patented technology that, either on its own or when coupled with any of an array of available proprietary formula additives, offers a unique combination of beneficial surface properties that allow for a broad array of multi-surface and end-product applications. Among others, such applications include:
▪ | Heavy machinery, equipment and infrastructure throughout each of the construction, oil and gas, and mining industries | |
▪ | Marine industry, vessels and infrastructure | |
▪ | Industrial HVAC equipment, commercial refrigeration systems, and power generators | |
▪ | Energy production equipment, including solar and wind | |
▪ | Hardscapes |
On September 14, 2016, the Company became the holder of what is currently an approximately 25% minority equity stake in a recently formed, closely-held, private limited liability company, Advanced Nanofibers LLC ("Advanced"). Advanced is comprised of three entity members, including the Company, Nanotech Fibers LLC, and EnVont, LLC. The Company's president and chief executive officer currently holds a 18.75% equity interest in Nanotech Fibers LLC through a closely held private Florida limited liability company, August Center Street Holdings LLC. August Center Street Holdings is owned 75% by the Company's president and chief executive officer and 25% by the Company's general counsel. Advanced is a Florida based nanotechnology firm focused on fundamentally broadening the industrial utilization of nanofibers and nanoparticles globally throughout a diverse range of mass-market applications. It's platform technological contributions and sustainable solutions center around (i) meaningfully proprietary, and expected-to-be revolutionary, industrially disruptive advances in the custom molecular bonding of nanofibers to application-specific nanoparticles such that the result in each case is an unparalleled, multifunctional ‘super'-composite exhibiting new and meaningfully superior physical, flexural, chemical and structural properties, (ii) ultra-cost-efficient production capabilities at scale, and (iii) the application of internally-developed breakthrough environmental safety advances throughout the handling and production process of its potentially hazardous materials. Its nanoparticle bonded nanofibers mark a new age in polymeric-based advanced composites. Based on their fundamental composition, Advanced is able to produce these materials in a virtually limitless array of industrial application-specific varieties, to be used either alone or in conjunction with other fibers and materials, making nanoparticle bonded nanofibers an ideal host for a variety of advanced composites. With the Company president and chief executive officer, Steven Malone, serving as a managing director of Advanced concurrently with his position within the Company, management is increasingly devoting its time, and increasingly allocating the Company's human and financial resources, to the planning and operations of Advanced.

Management Overview
A key focus of management during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 centered on increasing sales with our current resellers and distributors but also through the addition of resellers and distributors in specific vertical markets such as heavy equipment, industrial HVAC equipment, interior floor coatings and exterior hardscape coatings. In addition, management continued exploring and building relationships with potentially key strategic business partners, investors, and potential additional distributors and/or resellers of our products. Each of the strategic sell-side relationships were pointedly pursued in order to establish, further develop, and/or expand our existing customer base within certain of our most aggressively targeted verticals. For this period, and for the indefinite future, management is committed to securing and solidifying foundational relationships within each of its heavy equipment, interior/hardscape, solar, oil, gas and mining, HVAC, and marine markets, and intends to allocate its financial and human resources accordingly.
During the period ended September 30, 2016, management remained focused on three primary areas identified as keys to the near-term viability, growth and prosperity of EcoSmart. One area is revenue generation, as effected through the formalization of various distribution and licensing relationships that the Company has been pursuing over time. A second area is the maximization of cash flow and return on existing assets, as effected through the refinement of internal production operations and throughput efficiencies. The third other area is corporate finance, and specifically the raising of capital necessary to bridge shortfalls in available cash, for both operational and capital investment purposes, through to the point, if at all, at which working capital and cash reserve levels are sufficient to be self-sustaining.
In addition, management consolidated our facilities by relocating our research and development lab in Daytona Beach, Florida to our recently built-out research lab in our Lake Park, Florida facility that separately occupies our corporate offices. The relocation is intended and expected to not only reduce overhead and travel expenses but also to facilitate enhanced collaboration between research and development, on the one hand, and production operations, on the other, in connection with a variety of existing markets we are pursuing as well as a variety of potentially new markets we are currently exploring.
In August 2016, management also entered into a manufacturing and distribution joint venture agreement that affords us the opportunity to commercially exploit a certain proprietary, rubber-glass fusion coating technology/material through a combination of product manufacturing and global/worldwide distribution, marketing, and sales. Management believes this technology and the associated product lines strategically align with the markets into which we have already begun to establish relationship inroads in terms of distributors and resellers.
On September 14, 2016, and for a nominal cash investment of $1,000, the Company became the holder of what is currently an approximately 25% minority equity stake in a recently formed, closely-held, private limited liability company, Advanced Nanofibers LLC ("Advanced"). Advanced is a Florida based nanotechnology firm focused on fundamentally broadening the industrial utilization of nanofibers and nanoparticles globally throughout a diverse range of mass-market applications. It's platform technological contributions and sustainable solutions center around (i) meaningfully proprietary, and expected-to-be revolutionary, industrially disruptive advances in the custom molecular bonding of nanofibers to application-specific nanoparticles such that the result in each case is an unparalleled, multifunctional ‘super'-composite exhibiting new and meaningfully superior physical, flexural, chemical and structural properties, (ii) ultra-cost-efficient production capabilities at scale, and (iii) the application of internally-developed breakthrough environmental safety advances throughout the handling and production process of its potentially hazardous materials.

Since the acquisition of its interest in Advanced, an aggressive push has been underway towards the commencement of Advanced's principal production operations, both in EcoSmart's Lake Park, FL manufacturing facility, and in Greenville, SC, at a plant operated by Hitachi's High Technologies Group. Through a developing, multi-party relationship with Hitachi, Advanced will be producing, and, independently, globally marketing, a broad array of enhanced, manufacture-ready, proprietary and customized industrial materials based on a blend of nanofibers and microfibers infused with application-specific nanoparticles. The inclusion within finished goods of these types of materials is expected by Company management to fundamentally reshape a variety of core, global industrial segments over time, including cement, plastics, textiles, filtration and insulation. Concurrent with its readying of production operations, and with a near-term focus on the U.S. domestic cement industry, Advanced has also recently begun aggressively pursuing sales opportunities in this multi-billion dollar vertical.
At this time, near-term liquidity poses a continuous challenge to us and is expected to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Moreover, the need to find ways to stretch our very limited economic resources places ongoing strains on our very limited human resources, particularly as sales, and the resulting need for skilled product applications personnel locally throughout various parts of the U.S., are trending upwards.

The differing results of operations are primarily attributable to the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016:
▪ | an increase in net revenues resulting from increasing sales of our products in each of our heavy construction, hardscape applications and commercial HVAC verticals; | |
▪ | a decrease in our other general and administrative costs resulting from a deliberate campaign of broad-ranging cutbacks in expenses; | |
▪ | a decrease in research and development related expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 during which we issued stock as compensation to three consultants for their advisory services in connection with our research and development, and certain business development, initiatives; | |
▪ | an increase in interest expense due to the increase in medium-term notes issued as part of our capital-raising initiatives during the nine months ended September 30, 2016; | |
▪ | an increase in loss upon conversion of a note during the nine months ended September, 30 2016 attributable to our having agreed with the holder to re-price downward the conversion feature the note had carried up until the date of conversion as an incentive to the holder to compel such conversion; and | |
▪ | a decrease in gain on debt settlement for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 during which we realized an accounting gain in connection with a settlement agreement entered into with a current note holder. |
Although there can be no assurance, in future periods, we anticipate our operations to expand, potentially at a much more rapid rate, due to our anticipated growth and expansion in certain vertical markets, including those associated with our minority interest in Advanced.
Revenues
Our net revenues increased approximately $110,000 from approximately $159,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to approximately $269,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In line with that achievement, our net revenues increased approximately $16,000 from approximately $77,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to approximately $93,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in net revenues is mainly attributable to increasing sales of our products in each of our heavy construction, hardscape application and commercial HVAC verticals.

Cost of sales consists primarily of direct costs, royalties accrued to third party providers of intellectual property, and the costs associated with reproducing, packaging, and shipping our products. As a percentage of net revenues, our cost of sales decreased 2% from 33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The overall decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is attributable to the following:

▪ | an increase in the percentage of direct costs due to our having had to rely from time to time on multiple raw materials suppliers at what were relatively high delivered prices in order to meet increasing customer demand for what would have otherwise been available to us from single-source suppliers at bulk-rate product and associated freight discounts; | |
▪ | an increase in the percentage of direct costs resulting from our having ordered more raw materials in advance from our suppliers in anticipation of their projected limited availability in the near-term of such materials; | |
▪ | an overall decrease in the percentage of accrued royalty obligations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to a corresponding decrease in sales of products carrying a relatively high royalty obligation; and | |
▪ | an increase in freight costs in real dollar terms resulting from an increase in both purchases of raw materials, on the one hand, and sales, on the other. |

Conversely, we saw an increase of 8% in our cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues from 28% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to 36% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The overall increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2016 is attributable to the following:
▪ | an increase in the percentage of direct costs due to our having had to rely from time to time on multiple raw materials suppliers at what were relatively high delivered prices in order to meet increasing customer demand for what would have otherwise been available to us from single-source suppliers at bulk-rate product and associated freight discounts; | |
▪ | an increase in the percentage of direct costs resulting from our having purchased more raw materials in advance from our suppliers due to their projected limited availability of such materials in the near future; | |
▪ | an increase in direct costs as we wrote off some raw materials that we determined to be obsolete due to age; | |
▪ | an overall decrease in the percentage of accrued royalty obligations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to a corresponding decrease in sales of products carrying a relatively high royalty obligation; and | |
▪ | an increase in freight costs resulting from an increase in purchases of raw materials. |
Into the immediate future, we anticipate that our direct costs are likely to increase in real dollar terms based on escalating sales volume coupled with the likelihood of an inability to make material purchases in bulk at meaningfully discounted rates. Though there can be no assurance that our cash position and financial condition will improve over time, if it does, we intend to take advantage of bulk purchasing opportunities at discounted rates. More generally, we anticipate that our cost of sales will increase in the future in direct proportion to increases in top line growth.

Our research and development costs consist of direct production costs, including labor directly associated with the development of projects and outside consultants, and indirect costs, such as those associated with facilities leasing and related overhead. For labor costs and costs of outside consultants, we record the research and development costs as a reduction against either personnel costs or contract services. For facilities leasing related expenses, we record the research and development costs as a reduction against rent. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we reclassified to research and development approximately $43,000 and $123,000, respectively from total personnel costs and approximately $3,000 and $21,000, respectively from rent. Comparatively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we reclassified to research and development approximately $38,000 and $170,000, respectively from total personnel costs and approximately $8,000 and $24,000, respectively from rent.
The differing results of total sales, marketing, general and administrative costs are primarily attributable to the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016:
▪ | an overall increase in advertising and direct marketing resulting from an increase in our direct marketing efforts, our having attended and sponsored a booth at an industry trade show for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and an increase in sales commissions in direct correlation to the increase in sales; | |
▪ | a decrease in personnel costs as we streamlined our office administrative personnel; | |
▪ | a decrease in research and development for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as we relocated our research and development lab in Daytona Beach, Florida to our corporate office located in Lake Park, Florida which resulted in a decrease in related rent expenses as well as an overall decrease compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 during which we issued stock as compensation to three consultants for their advisory services in connection with our research and development, and certain business development, initiatives; | |
▪ | a decrease in business development services; | |
▪ | an overall decrease in travel and entertainment expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 during which we were represented at the 2015 International Coatings Show in Germany; and | |

Loss on Conversion of Note Payable
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an investor holding a convertible note elected to convert such note, together with all then-accrued interest, totaling $10,456 into 2,613,963 shares of common stock. In connection with such election, we repriced the original conversion of $0.02 per share to $0.004 per share, which resulted in an accounting loss upon such conversion. As a result, we recognized a net loss of $13,593, and we have included it in the "Loss on conversion of note payable" line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016
Gain on Debt Settlement
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized a gain on debt settlement in the amount of $200,000. This gain is a result of entering into a loan modification agreement with a shareholder that had held an outstanding convertible note agreement in the amount of $250,000 which, until modified, carried a conversion feature that had the accounting effect of increasing the derivative liability associated with the obligation from $250,000 to $500,000. The loan modification called for the original convertible note payable ($250,000), along with the conversion feature ($250,000), dated July 2014 to be cancelled. In addition, the loan modification called for a replacement note payable to be issued by us in the adjusted, aggregate principal amount of $300,000, but without any conversion feature. All other terms of the original note agreement carried over to the replacement note unchanged. As a result, we recognized a net gain of $200,000, and we have treated it as a gain from extinguishment of debt and included it in the "Gain on debt settlement" line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Income Taxes
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, based on uncertainty about the timing of and ability to generate future taxable income and our assessment that the realization of the deferred tax assets no longer met the "more likely than not" criterion for realization, we provided for a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. If we determine that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be recorded in the period when such determination is made.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
Our primary needs for liquidity and capital resources are the working capital requirements of our continued operations, which includes raw materials procurement, production personnel, service applications personnel, the ongoing internal development of new products and expansion and upgrade of existing products, marketing and sales, and executive salaries and insurance benefit obligations. Cash generated through our current operations may not prove sufficient to sustain such operations, and our pursuit of an aggressive growth plan, as currently exists, will likely require funding from outside sources. Funding from outside sources may include but is not limited to the pursuit of other financing options such as commercial loans or public or private sales of securities, including common stock, preferred stock and/or convertible notes or debentures. The Company's cash on hand as of September 30, 2016 is not sufficient to support our operations for the next twelve months.

Liquidity for our day-to-day continuing operations remains a very serious ongoing concern for us, and there can be
no continuing assurance of it remaining manageable.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 consisted mainly of payments going out for personnel, inventory purchases, vendor payments and other operating expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was for the build-out of our new research lab within our corporate headquarters located in the Lake Park, Florida. This new research lab will replace the research lab located in Daytona Beach, Florida which was relocated in July 2016. In addition, we entered into an operating agreement on September 14, 2016 pursuant to which we became one of three members in a newly formed joint venture entity that required a cash investment of $1,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cash provided by financing activities was mainly the result of proceeds from the issuances of convertible debt with related parties as well as a sale of shares of our common stock. Comparatively, cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was the exclusive result of proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock.
Financing
Given practical considerations, we believe that our ability to meaningfully pursue our business plan in the immediate term will depend on the availability of working capital, the precise amount of which is uncertain as the date of this quarterly filing on Form 10-Q given certain variables surrounding our ability to generate funds internally, including through both sales of product and/or territorial distributorships. To the extent that it becomes necessary to access funds through a public or private sales of securities, as we have been doing and expect to continue to have to do for the foreseeable future, this is likely to be pursued through one or more offerings involving common stock, preferred stock and/or convertible notes or debentures. In connection with any such financings, it may become necessary given market conditions and the unavailability of alternative options for us to issue additional shares of our common stock or securities exchangeable for shares of our common stock, including but not limited to convertible preferred stock or convertible notes or debentures containing so-called "floorless convertible" provisions that can be, and often are, extremely dilutive to existing stockholders upon conversion. Any such issuances, as well as any related issuances of common stock or other purchase warrants, would likely have the effect of depressing the market price of our common stock and diluting the interests of our common stockholders, potentially very significantly.
Although, until very recently, no attempt had been made for many years to secure any bank or other secured financing due to management's practical conclusion that it would be an unproductive allocation of human resources given our historic revenue and cash flow levels, internal financial ratios, and negative working capital position, preliminary initiatives are currently underway to attempt to do so. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in securing any such financing unless and until our revenues and cash flows substantially increase, and our internal financial ratios dramatically improve.
Discontinued Operations
On May 5, 2011, we entered into a Software Product Line Purchase Agreement to sell the QuickVerse ® product line to WORDsearch. On June 30, 2011, closing of the asset sale transaction governed by the Software Product Line Purchase Agreement, which was transitional in nature and expected to be ongoing through approximately the end of April, 2012, commenced. As one of the initial parts of the closing, on July 1, 2011 WORDsearch assumed possession of the physical assets conveyed in the transaction as well as control and responsibility of the business operations related to the QuickVerse ® product line, including, among many other things, the receipt of revenues for sales in exchange for partial payment of the cash portion of the purchase price being paid to us. On April 13, 2012, we determined that the final closing conditions under the Software Product Line Purchase Agreement had been met, and the sale of the QuickVerse ® product line to WORDsearch was complete. As a result, we have classified this asset as discontinued operations for the six months ended September 30, 2016.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive and principal financial officers are responsible for assessing the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Accordingly, we maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q September 30, 2016, and has determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. Our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting because of inadequate segregation of duties over authorization, review and recording of transactions as well as the financial reporting of such transactions. Management is attempting to develop a plan to mitigate the above material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this report, other than those disclosed above that materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially effect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
