2. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has a limited operating history and its prospects are subject to risks, expenses and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the industry. The Company’s ability to generate income in the short-run will depend greatly on the rate of adoption and ability to establish a sustainable market for the Company’s VI2OLET iodine dietary supplement.  The Company continues its research and development efforts for its products, which will require significant funding.  If revenues fall short of expectations or research and development efforts require higher than anticipated capital, then there may be a negative impact on the financial viability of the Company.

 

The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has funded its operating losses through the sale of common stock in a public offering and the issuance of convertible notes, Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock and warrants. In December 2015, the Company raised net proceeds of $5.6 million through the sale of common stock in a private placement.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

The Company plans to increase working capital by managing its cash flows and expenses, securing financing and increasing revenue. Risks include, but are not limited to, the uncertainty of availability of additional financing and the uncertainty of achieving future profitability. Management of the Company intends to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or on terms which are favorable to the Company. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital or reduce certain discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result from the resolution of any of the above uncertainties.

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss available to common stockholders of $11.4 million and $5.4 million during the nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $21.7 million as of October 31, 2015. As of October 31, 2015, the Company had working capital of approximately $0.3 million. While management of the Company believes that it has a plan to fund ongoing operations, there is no assurance that its plan will be successfully implemented.
