2. LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,283,607, an accumulated deficit of $62,720,464 and a negative working capital of $19,496,667. The Company has incurred recurring losses and reported losses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, totaled $6,711,026 and $6,095,953, respectively. In the past, the Company has financed its operations principally through issuances of convertible debt, promissory notes and equity securities. During 2019, the Company continued to successfully obtain additional equity and debt financing and in restructuring existing debt.

 

The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and needs to raise additional capital to continue its business development initiatives and to support its working capital requirements. In March 2017, the Company was awarded a 3-year, $50 million purchase order by MTIX Ltd. (“MTIX”) to manufacture, install and service the Multiplex Laser Surface Enhancement (“MLSE”) plasma-laser system. Currently, the Company has subcontracted out a significant amount of these services to third parties. Although the manufacture of the $50 million of MLSE plasma-laser systems is expected to exceed four years, management continues to believe that the MLSE purchase order will be a source of revenue and generate significant cash flows for the Company. Additionally, on April 2, 2019, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $7 million in a public offering of its securities (See Note 22). Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through potential public or private issuances of debt or equity securities. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to curtail operations and take additional measures to reduce costs, including reducing its workforce, eliminating outside consultants and reducing legal fees to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
