NOTE
2
- LIQUIDITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The Company has a history of recurring losses from operations and the use of cash in operating activities. For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018,
the Company’s net loss was
$12,075,982
and cash used in operating activities was
$296,603.
As of
March 31, 2018,
the Company had current assets of
$239,639
and current liabilities of
$1,407,296
of which
$318,464
was accrued PIK Note interest expected to be paid in additional PIK Notes. The Company’s current liabilities also include (i)
$183,149
of accrued management bonus payable as determined by the Company’s Audit Committee, (ii)
$118,252
of a note payable related to the financing of the Company’s D&O and G/L policies, (iii)
$158,700
of payables to a compounder for which it has agreed to satisfy in halloysite product and (iv)
$156,200
of disputed accrued expenses for which the Company believes it has a statute of limitations defense.
 
Based on the Company’s current cash usage expectations, management believes it will
not
have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations through
May 22, 2019.
Further, management cannot provide any assurance that it is probable that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans to raise debt or equity financing or generate additional product sales. Collectively these factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. These financial statements do
not
include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company
not
be able to continue as a going concern.
 
Management believes that in order for the Company to meet its obligations arising from normal business operations through
May 22, 2019
that the Company requires (i) additional capital either in the form of a private placement of common stock or debt and/or (ii) additional sales of its products that will generate sufficient operating profit and cash flows to fund operations.  Without additional capital or additional sales of its products, the Company’s ability to continue to operate will be limited.
