NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company designs, develops, and sells personal, pet, and vehicle locator devices and services including PocketFinder® People, PocketFinder® Pets and PocketFinder® Vehicles. The PocketFinder® is a small, completely wireless, location device that enables a user to locate a person, pet, vehicle or valuable item at any time from almost anywhere using Global Positioning System (“GPS”) and General Packet Radio Service (“GPRS”) technologies. The Company is located in Irvine, California.

 

Organization

 

Location Based Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as Springbank Resources, Inc.) (the “Company,” “our,” “we” or “LBT”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 10, 2006.

 

Location Based Technologies, Corp. (formerly known as PocketFinder, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on September 16, 2005. On July 7, 2006, it established PocketFinder, LLC (“LLC”), a California Limited Liability Company. On May 29, 2007, PocketFinder, Inc. filed amended articles with the Secretary of State to change its name to Location Based Technologies, Corp., and in October 2007 was merged into LBT.

 

On September 30, 2009, the Company formed Location Based Technologies, Ltd. (“LBT, Ltd.”), an England and Wales private limited company, to establish a presence in Europe. LBT, Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Consolidation Policy

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Location Based Technologies, Ltd. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-01 of Regulation S-X.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

  

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses since inception, and as of May 31, 2015, had an accumulated deficit of $64,042,325 and negative working capital of $11,918,330. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional resources to enable it to continue operations. Management intends to raise additional financing through debt and equity financing or through other means that it deems necessary, with a view to moving forward and sustaining prolonged growth in its strategy phases. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Further, even if the Company raises additional capital, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow. If management is unable to raise additional capital and expected significant revenues do not result in positive cash flow, the Company will not be able to meet its obligations and may have to cease operations.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and the current status of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired. As of May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $75,000 and $27,000, respectively.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

  

Allowance for Sales returns

 

An allowance for sales returns is recorded as a reduction to revenue and based on management’s judgment using historical experience and expectation of future conditions. As of May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014, the allowance for sales returns amounted to $18,000 and $27,000, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and primarily consisted of components and finished goods for the Company’s PocketFinder® products. Packaging costs are expensed as incurred. The Company provides for a lower-of-cost-or-market ("LCM") adjustment against gross inventory values. Management estimates the current selling price of $58.00 as the realizable value of the inventory. Management estimated sales for the next 24 month period based on historical sales data and prospective sales trends and determined that all inventory is expected to be sold in the next two years. A portion of the components inventory, net of the LCM valuation reserve, totaling $368,617 is classified as a noncurrent asset at May 31, 2015 (see Note 3). In addition, management analyzed and tested certain components and determined that quantities in excess of levels necessary to build 22,500 finished goods units were obsolete and recorded a reserve for obsolescence in the amount of $64,824 as of May 31, 2015.

 

Deferred Revenue

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

During the six months ended February 28, 2015, the Company determined that there were no longer sufficient authorized shares to satisfy outstanding warrants, option agreements and convertible notes if all such agreements were to be exercised or noteholders elected to convert. Accordingly, the Company recognized a derivative liability and recorded such liability $601,627 and a reduction to additional paid-in-capital using the Black-Scholes valuation as of February 28, 2015. Subsequent to May 31, 2015, the Company increased the number of authorized shares to 450,000,000 (See Note 9). As a result, the Company reduced the derivative liability to $0 as of May 31, 2015.

 

2.

EARNINGS LOSS PER SHARE

 

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period in accordance with FASB ASC 260 – Earnings Per Share, which specifies the compilation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for income per share for entities with publicly held common stock or instruments which are potentially common stock.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The following potential common shares are excluded from diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Overview.  We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in April 2006 as Springbank Resources, Inc. (“SRI”). SRI was formed to engage in the exploration and development of oil and gas, and by 2007 had disposed of all of its assets and satisfied its liabilities. In October 2007, SRI acquired all of the outstanding stock of Location Based Technologies, Corp. (“Old LBT”), following which SRI merged Old LBT into itself and, in the process, SRI’s name was changed to Location Based Technologies, Inc. Old LBT was incorporated in September 2005 by David Morse, Joseph Scalisi and Desiree Mejia, who became our officers and directors, in order to develop the PocketFinder personal locators.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 49 Discovery, Suite 260, Irvine, California 92618, and our telephone number is 888-600-1044.

 

Our shares of common stock are currently traded in the over-the-counter market and our stock price is reported on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “LBAS.”

 

Unless otherwise stated, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “company” and similar designations refer to Location Based Technologies, Inc.

 

Location Based Technologies®, PocketFinder® and PocketFinder Pets® are registered trademarks, and PocketFinder Network™, PocketFinder People™, PocketFinder Vehicle™, PocketFinder Luggage™, PocketFinder Mobile™, LBT-886™, “Powered by LBT”™ and VehicleFleetFinder™ are trademarks, of the company. With respect to this report, we reserve all rights to the foregoing trademarks regardless of whether they carry the “®” or “™” designation.

 

Our Business.  The company is doing business in one of the fastest growing and dynamic industries that exists today - the Internet-of-Things (“IoT”). The Internet has changed so many aspects of our lives and the marriage of GPS location devices with Internet and mobile Internet access for easy to use data display is bringing exciting new capabilities to businesses and families. LBT sells commercial and consumer wearable GPS tracking solutions that enhance the way people and things stay connected within our highly mobile society. LBT’s products and services provide data intended to enhance safety, security, connectivity, operational savings, and coordination of mobile assets and enhanced managerial or parental decisions. Our devices operate on the worldwide GSM network and therefore work on most of the wireless networks around the world. Our consumer products are primarily used to track any portable asset (powered or unpowered), vehicles, pets, and people. Our commercial products are available to businesses of all sizes and governmental organizations that need to track vehicles, mobile equipment, portable assets and workers.

 

Consumer products are sold under the PocketFinder brand and include applications for children, seniors, pets and vehicles. All PocketFinder products display user information regarding device location (longitude, latitude), altitude, heading or direction, speed and 60 days of location or “breadcrumb” tracking history. Users can also set alerts that will trigger an email, text or push notification to notify them when their device exceeds a pre-determined parameter such as speed, battery life or entry/exit of a geo-zone.

PocketFinder and PocketFinder Personal/Pet or luggage devices are small (roughly 2 inches in diameter), rugged and waterproof devices that are ideal for tracking or locating any mobile asset (person, pet or valuable item) at any time from almost anywhere outdoors. These devices use the Assisted Global Positioning System (“A-GPS”) network to acquire location data and transmit data over the global GSM wireless network.

 

The PocketFinder Vehicle tracker is intended to be hardwired to any powered asset (vehicle, watercraft or mobile generator). The device is rugged, spark-proof and water resistant and enables the user to locate and track a mobile asset at any time from almost anywhere outdoors.

 

PocketFinder and PocketFinder Vehicle users can view all of the devices on their account by logging on via the web at www.pocketfinder.com or our PocketFinder App, which is native to the iPhone, iPad and Android phone.

 

LBT’s IoT Commercial products are streamlining and lowering the cost of business processes and logistics, increasing worker safety, security and management oversight. Devices sold under the LBT brand include the LBT-886 (“886”) and the LBT Vehicle Tracker. The LBT-886 is a compact, rugged, long-lasting location device that enables a user to locate and track people or any mobile asset at any time from almost anywhere with GSM wireless coverage. Battery life of the LBT-886 typically ranges from 21 days to 3 months, depending upon environmental and usage factors.

 

The LBT GPS Vehicle Tracker provides all tracking features and offers additional capabilities. Its 7 wire harness can increase the device’s functionality by adding capabilities such as temperature, light and humidity monitoring, engine on/off monitoring and “starter interrupt” engine capability or lone worker Emergency Alert features.

 

Commercial customers can access their account by logging in through our LBT corporate website (www.locationbasedtech.com) which is optimized for web browsing, or through our App, which is native to the iPhone, iPad and Android phone. The commercial user-interface features enhanced backend services that include additional reporting features and zone capabilities.

 

We generate revenue through product sales and monthly subscription service fees. Currently, PocketFinder consumers in the US, Mexico and Canada pay a monthly service fee of $12.95 per month with no contract, while commercial customers in the US and Canada typically pay $15.95 per month.

 

All of our devices are made in the USA and come standard with an AT&T SIM card, which enables them to roam internationally on the AT&T network or one of AT&T’s roaming partners’ networks. Roaming charges can be up to $29.95 per month.

 

Devices can also be supplied with SIM cards provided by EE or Telefonica (through the Aeris platform). Monthly service rates will vary from region to region depending on the fee charged by the local network carrier; however, in nearly all instances the monthly fees will be less than $29.95. We typically source SIM cards based on the carrier which can provide the best coverage at the most competitive price for a given region.

 

Research and Development.  Our goal is to always be a leader in the location based technologies market. Our ongoing research and development is intended to either improve our existing products and services or create new products and services.

 

In an ongoing effort to improve the user’s experience we are constantly upgrading our device software and our system’s back end. Our software development efforts are intended to result in additional features on our end user interface and increased device functionality through our back end. The software updates for all of our products are delivered over the air, which allows every customer to receive the latest version of our firmware simply by charging their device.

 

Our current 3G PocketFinder in development will enhance indoor tracking capability with both enhanced cellular triangulation and use of Wi-Fi location information. This new miniaturized dual GSM device is currently in the final stages of prototyping, testing and certification before market entry. Having a 3G consumer device will enable the Company to sell PocketFinder Personal Locator and PocketFinder Pet devices into territories that predominately operate on the 3G network, such as the USA, Canada and Australia. New Wi-Fi capability significantly improves indoor location accuracy and reduces “false alert” reports that result from relying on GPS only. This is particularly beneficial to the child and pet markets.

 

We will continue to invest in our research and development efforts for the foreseeable future.

 

Consumer Sales Channels.  In the US, our PocketFinder family of products can be found at the following online locations: Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Bestbuy.com/Future Shop (Canada), New Egg, our www.pocketfinder.com website and numerous affiliate marketing websites. LBT is working with a global distributor in the US that will significantly expand our retail footprint with our new 3G PocketFinder product this Fall.

With the introduction of our 3G vehicle tracker devices, LBT has launched a new and innovative Auto Dealership Reseller Program in North America in 2015 focused on increasing installations at the time of new and pre-owned vehicle sales. The program consists of a new auto-dealer portal to enable resellers to create user accounts and to activate the GPS tracker devices. New sales people will be added in 2015 to focus on sales in this new market segment.

 

Internationally, our devices are being sold and marketed in Mexico, United Kingdom (“UK”), other European Union countries, Colombia and Ecuador. The Company has recently entered an agreement with a leading distributor in Mexico with initial orders received and product has been shipped in the Company’s fiscal third quarter. These sales are anticipated to generate significant device and service revenues in 2015 through both online and major retail partners. The Company may pursue a similar expansion strategy in Europe based on recent interest with distribution partners in UK, Germany and The Netherlands. In the UK, LBT has partnered with EE (the largest mobile-to-mobile telecommunications company in the UK). Recent reports show Europe at the forefront of M2M (“Machine-to-Machine”) or the adoption of “Internet-of-things” applications with revenues from M2M services market wide expected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 33% through 2016 in a selection of European markets, including Germany, France, Poland, Russia, Sweden and the UK. These are the findings of new research from Frost & Sullivan, which predicts that the number of SIM connections will increase to 75 million in 2016, with the UK emerging as the biggest market and Germany a close second. LBT is currently negotiating with an interested European distributor, but has not yet signed an agreement.

 

 Commercial Sales Channels.  Our Auto Dealer Program will significantly strengthen our commercial sales and augment our ongoing business sales. Given our refocus and unexpected delays with our Tennessee based reseller, the Company has not been able to penetrate the utility market thus far. We have completed the integration of Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s technology that provides real-time status of the electric grid and critical energy sectors along with real-time severe weather condition tracking. The system, called VERDE (Visualizing Energy Resources Dynamically on the Earth), enables decision-makers to respond swiftly to major power disruptions and severe weather. VERDE combines the display capabilities of Google Earth with analysis and modeling components, significantly enhancing situational awareness and speeds recovery times from power outages and other utility interruptions. We have not begun sales of the feature to public utilities (power, water and telecom) through other resale partners. The Company will evaluate expansion of this new capability for “fit” to specific commercial and other first responder agencies throughout the US.

 

LBT has launched commercial sales in Australia with Pacific-Asia partner, Finda, through the Australian Warranty Network service. Finda is gaining acceptance of LBT devices in multiple applications for both consumer and commercial customers in Australia and New Zealand.

 

Our Intellectual Property Investment.  LBT continues its relationship with the Washington D.C. firm of Hunton & Williams to assist in the generation of additional revenues through licensing our intellectual property and potential sale of LBT’s patents. 

 

We continue to invest in intellectual property that consists of apparatus patents and applications and system and method patents and applications. We have filed claims that cover many aspects of our devices, its operating system and user interface. Our intellectual property portfolio includes 39 issued US patents, 2 pending US patents, 2 issued foreign patents, 2 pending foreign patents, 6 PCT filings, 16 registered trademarks and 4 Madrid protocol trademark cases.

 

We own the Internet domain name www.pocketfinder.com and www.locationbasedtech.com as well as the names of other related domains that could have use in future business and vertical marketing initiatives and for Internet marketing purposes. Under current domain name registration practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different suffix, such as “.org,” or with a country designation. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change, and we could be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our domain names.

 

Our Target Markets and Marketing Strategy.  We provide wireless location based solutions for global positioning products along with our proprietary “friendly user interface” software system. Our products are rugged and compact with near real time location-based information over our proprietary server architecture. These products optimize the way businesses utilize mobile assets, save money and connect with key personnel; similarly, families utilizing our products in our ever increasingly mobile society are now able to easily stay connected with one another while on the go and from wherever they are.

   

Our 2015 marketing initiatives include:

 

 

Expanding our retail outreach through industry leading distributors in the US, Canada and Mexico;

 

 

Partnering with US based new and used car dealers through our innovative Auto Dealer Program; and,

Our Revenue Sources.  We expect our revenues to be derived from the following sources:

 

 

Monthly subscription service fees;

 

 

Organizations that will self-brand LBT’s services for specialized niche markets (“private label”);

 

 

Asset and personal locator device sales to commercial customers, through retailers and our website; and     

 

 

Software licensing fees,

 

Our Growth Strategy.  Our objective is to become a premier provider of personal and asset location services in the Location Based Services consumer and commercial markets.

 

We subdivide the commercial market into three categories: small/midsize businesses, (including the strategic utility company market), enterprise businesses and governmental organizations (including the US military). We are focused on the small/midsize business segment through channel sales efforts.

 

Our Competition.  Even though there has been tremendous growth in tracking Apps for mobile phones, personal location (wearables) and property tracking devices are beginning to significantly penetrate the marketplace. In fact, growth for asset tracking solutions is projected to be very strong over the next five years.

 

Our competitors include, but are not limited to: Geospatial Platform Providers, Application Developers, Garmin’s GTU-10, Tagg, Amber Alert, Spark Nano, LiveView GPS, eZoom, iTrack, 5 Star, Meitrack, iTrack GPS Locator, Lo-Jack, SpotLight, and commercial providers such as Fleetmatics, NetworkFleet, and Qualcomm. Some competitors may be better financed, have superior technology or have greater marketing and scientific resources than we do.

 

In related markets, GPS devices have become widely used for automotive and marine applications where line-of-sight to GPS satellites is not a significant issue. Manufacturers such as Garmin, Navman, Magellan, TomTom, Pharos, NovAtel and DeLorne are finding market interested in using these products for both business and leisure purposes. As a result, use of GPS technology in devices such as chart plotters, fitness and training devices, fish finders, laptop computers, and personal digital assistant (“PDA”) location devices are gaining significant market acceptance and commercialization. Prices range from $100 to several thousand dollars. We expect that increasing consumer demand in these markets will drive additional applications and lower price points.

 

Government Regulation.  We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations applied to businesses generally as well as Federal Communications Commission, Internationale Canada (“IC”) and CE (European Economic Area) wireless device regulations and controls. We believe that we are in conformity with all applicable laws in all relevant jurisdictions. We are NOM and NYCE certified and ready to begin sales in Mexico. We do not believe that we are subject to any environmental laws and regulations of the United States and the states in which we operate.

 

Employees and Outsourced Assistance. We have limited our use of contracted professionals who have been engaged in hardware and software development, early marketing and sales preparation, and preparation for customer service support. Mr. Morse, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Mejia, our Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Dan Hogan, our VP of Marketing, and Mr. Dave Morse, Jr., as VP of Customer Service, constitute the employee senior leadership team for the Company. Ms. Tina Florance, Controller, and Mr. Gregory Andrews, CFO, are key contributors of the leadership team and contracted with the Company. Company employees are at sixteen (16) with six (6) key contractors for technical and financial services. Mr. Scalisi, our former Chief Development Officer, is available on a contracted basis for any future development needs the Company has. Ms. Mejia and Mr. Scalisi are active with another privately held corporation. LBT’s Board has determined that their obligations to the outside organization do not conflict with their duties or responsibilities at LBT. The Board further determined that the outside business is not competitive with LBT, nor is it a corporate opportunity that LBT intends to pursue. Since its inception, LBT has used an extended workforce concept which includes outsourcing partners and vendors, and using a contingent workforce (consultants, part-time /interim executives and temporary workers) and strategic partners to stay competitive in the marketplace. We do not see this as a trend. We will continue to use this model for the foreseeable future with an eye to reduce corporate overhead and expenses.

A $119,970 decrease in financing costs to $239,785 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015, compared to $359,755 for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 due to a decrease in capital raising advisory services;

     

  

 

A $61,388 decrease in the amortization of beneficial conversion features on notes payable to $0 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015, compared to $61,388 for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 as there were no new convertible notes entered into in fiscal 2015 that contained beneficial conversion features;

 

 

 

 

A $446,649 decrease in the amortization of deferred financing costs to $5,506 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015, compared to $452,155 for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 as there was were no new notes payable issued with common stock resulting in deferred financing costs in fiscal 2015;

Net Loss.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2015, we reported a net loss of $2,830,416 compared to a net loss of $3,932,405 for the nine months ended May 31, 2014, due to fluctuations in operating and other expenses as previously discussed.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We had cash and cash equivalents of $236,994 as of May 31, 2015, compared to $146,200 as of August 31, 2014.  

 

As of May 31, 2015, current assets totaled $1,129,316 compared to $1,068,522 as of August 31, 2014 and consisted of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets. The increase at May 31, 2015, from August 31, 2014 is primarily due to an increase of cash.

 

As of May 31, 2015, current liabilities totaled $13,047,646 compared to $8,311,818 as of August 31, 2014 and consisted of accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred compensation, deferred revenue, advances from officer, derivative liabilities, convertible notes payable and accrued interest. The increase at May 31, 2015, is due to the issuance of additional convertible notes payable, reclassification of convertible notes payable from long-term to current, increase in derivative liabilities and the repayment of term loans during the nine months ended May 31, 2015.

 

As at May 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $11,918,330 compared with a working capital deficit of $7,243,296 as of August 31, 2014.  

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. During the nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company used cash for operating activities in the amount of $1,366,421 compared with $2,389,045 for the nine months ended May 31, 2014.  The decrease in the cash used for operating activities was primarily attributed to the $886,548 adjustment for the gain on debt settlement to reconcile the net loss to net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended May 31, 2014.

 

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. During the nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company used $3,083 of cash for investing compared with $69,242 for the nine months ended May 31, 2014.  The decrease in the cash used for investing operating activities was attributed to fewer capital expenditures during the nine months ended May 31, 2015 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2014

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. During the nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company received $2,000,000 in cash from financing activities related to the issuance of convertible promissory notes and made principal payments of $537,202 on term loans and demand notes payable. During the nine months ended May 31, 2014, the Company received $1,950,000 from the issuance of convertible promissory notes and made principal payments of $18,000 on term loans and demand notes payable. Demand convertible notes payable totaling $1,140,487 are unsecured, bear interest at 10% per annum, and are to repaid out of future operating cash flow. Current convertible notes payable totaling $7,126,452, of which $5,275,000 are secured, and bear interest at 8%-36% per annum, and are to be repaid out of future operating cash flow. Long-term convertible promissory notes totaling $1,226,500 are secured, bear interest at 10% per annum with due dates ranging from July 24, 2016 to May 13, 2017 and are to be repaid out of future operating cash flow.

 

Going Concern. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities.  For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

CASH REQUIREMENTS

 

We are a wireless technology company focused on the marketing and sales of the PocketFinder family of products for retail and commercial distribution.  Since our inception, we have generated significant losses.  As of May 31, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $64,042,325 and we expect to incur continual losses until sometime in calendar year 2015.

 

As of May 31, 2015, we had $236,994 in cash and cash-equivalents.  Over the next several quarters we expect to invest significant amounts of funds to develop our sales and marketing programs associated with the commercialization and branding of the PocketFinder family of products.  We also expect to fund any necessary general overhead requirements.

  

We expect to have to obtain additional financing in the coming months for overhead costs, general and administrative expenses and for related purposes such as packaging, shipping, and direct sales and marketing costs. Our funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including:

 

 

Costs involved in production and manufacturing to fill purchase orders, software and interface customization for OEM partners, and the network necessary to further the commercialization of the PocketFinder family of products;

 

 

The costs of outsourced manufacturing for the new 3G PocketFinder device;

 

 

The costs of commercialization activities, including product marketing, sales and distribution, and customer service and support;

 

 

Our revenues, if any, from successful commercialization of the PocketFinder devices and the PocketFinder Network platform services; and

 

 

Other general and administrative expenses associated with running the day to day operations of our Company.

 

Product Research and Development

 

We plan to continue to develop new product enhancements to our existing product on the market including PocketFinder People and PocketFinder Vehicles. New 3G devices will meet the requirements of pending GSM network changes in multiple countries, including the US, and the dual GSM/Iridium device will open new government and commercial shipping markets.

  

Plant and Equipment, Employees

 

We do not plan to purchase or sell any significant equipment, plant or properties during the foreseeable future. Our business operations are based on a strategic outsourcing model, thereby negating the need for significant amounts of plant and equipment, or significant numbers of employees. We currently have sixteen employees and anticipate hiring additional sales and sales support employees during the next twelve months.

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of May 31, 2015, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures  

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 31, 2015, due to the material weaknesses resulting from a lack of segregation of duties in our accounting department.
