PureSafe Water Systems Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
PureSafe Water Systems, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and sales of the PureSafe First Response Water System (the FRWS), both within and outside of the United States. The Company's corporate headquarters are located in Plainview, New York.
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included.
The operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 05, 2015.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 Consolidation of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-10 all majority-owned subsidiariesall entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interestshall be consolidated except (1) when control does not rest with the parent company; (2) if the parent is a broker-dealer within the scope of Topic 940 and control is likely to be temporary; (3) consolidation by an investment company within the scope of Topic 946 of a non-investment-company investee. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-8 the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree. The Company consolidates all less-than-majority-owned subsidiaries, if any, in which the parents power to control exists.
The Company's consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities are as follows:
Name of consolidated subsidiary or entity |
| State or other jurisdiction of incorporation or organization |
| Date of incorporation or formation (date of acquisition, if applicable) |
| Attributable interest |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PureSafe Manufacturing and Research Corporation |
| Delaware |
| September 29, 2009 |
| 100% |
The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
7
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates, among other things, are used in accounting for allowances for deferred income taxes, expected realizable values for long-lived assets (primarily intangible assets and property and equipment), contingencies, as well as the recording and presentation of its common stock and other securities. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventory consisting primarily of finished goods and raw materials is stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company continually analyzes its slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories. Based on historical and projected sales volumes and anticipated selling prices, the Company establishes reserves. If the Company does not meet its sales expectations, these reserves are increased. Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value.
Deferred Financing Costs
Cost incurred in conjunction with the debt financing has been capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense using the straight line method, which approximates the interest rate method over the term of the debt and is included as a component of other assets. Amortization of deferred financing cost was $0 and $4,250 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Derivative Liabilities
In connection with the issuance of certain convertible promissory notes, the terms of the convertible notes included an embedded conversion feature; which provided for the settlement of certain convertible promissory notes into shares of common stock at a rate which was determined to be variable with no floor. The Company determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the conversion option and related warrants, if applicable, at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. As a result of entering into certain convertible promissory notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee warrants as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date because the Company could not determine it has enough authorized shares to settle the contracts. Any change in fair value was recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
The fair value of conversion options that are convertible at a variable conversion price are required to be valued using a Binomial Lattice Model. The Company determined the fair value of the conversion option using either the Black-Scholes Valuation Model or the Binomial Lattice Model to be materially the same.
The Black-Scholes Valuation Model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants and conversion option. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the instrument granted.
8
The principal assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model were as follows:

| 165%-167% |

| 0.0% |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company reports stock-based compensation under Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 718 Compensation Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees as compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, which require that each such equity instrument is recorded at its fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company recorded stock based compensation of $15,000 and $0, respectively.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair values of options. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the subject options or warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company has not granted any options or warrants.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long lived assets, including property and equipment when there are indications that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company first compares the carrying amount of the asset to the assets estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges). If the estimated future cash flows used in this analysis are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying amount of the asset to the assets estimated future cash flows (discounted and with interest charges). If the carrying amount exceeds the assets estimated futures cash flows (discounted and with interest charges), the loss is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Research and Development
Research and development costs consist of expenditures incurred during the course of planned research and investigation aimed at the discovery of new knowledge, which will be useful in developing new products or processes. The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. The Company incurred a charge of $2,031 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would require adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a net loss from operations of approximately $309,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $5.8 million as of March 31, 2015. The Company continues to incur recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit since inception of approximately $51.2 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to bring the Companys products to market and generate revenues, control costs, and obtain additional financing, as required and on reasonable terms. The Companys plans with respect to these matters include restructuring its existing debt and raising additional financing through issuance of preferred stock, common stock and/or debt.
The Companys goal is to generate the sales of the Company's flagship mobile water purification product and to ultimately diversify its product line through ingenuity and/or acquisition. In order to accomplish these goals we are redirecting the sales effort so that the Company will no longer predominantly focus on the government sector, a target with historically long lead times. In addition the Company is reviewing the entire approach to the product with an aim to 1) deepen and diversify our distribution channels, 2) lower our cost of production, 3) improve the Company's profit margin on and 4) maintain an inventory of units for immediate sale.
The Company requires immediate capital to remain viable. The Company can give no assurance that such financing will be available on terms advantageous to the Company, or at all. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all of its operational activities. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent to March 31, 2015, the Company has issued approximately $134,000 of convertible notes payable. From April 1, 2015 until September 30, 2015, the Company issued 432,895,711 shares of common stock, relating to prior period conversion requests, for the settlement of $19,200 loan principal plus $3,695 accrued interest, and fees. As of September 30, 2015 the Company has a cash overdraft of approximately $(1,000).
NOTE 4: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB and the SEC have issued certain accounting standards updates and regulations that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management of the Company does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected the Companys financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2015 or 2014, and does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective.

NOTE 7: BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. Our outstanding convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, and warrants are potentially dilutive securities. The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is the dilutive effect of our convertible notes and convertible preferred stock.
The following table represents a reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, or EPS, computations contained in our condensed consolidated financial statements:

Fair Value
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Standard clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement.
11
ASC 820 establishes the following hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value:
·
Level 1 Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
·
Level 2 Inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
·
Level 3 Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Companys assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2015 are as follows:
|
| Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Liabilities (Level 1) |
| Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |
| Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Companys Level 3 liabilities consist of derivative liabilities associated with convertible debt that contains an indeterminable conversion share price and the tainted warrants as the Company cannot determine if it will have sufficient authorized common stock to settle such arrangements.
The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Troubled debt restructuring Convertible Notes and Notes Payable Officers & Directors
On February 6, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement in order to satisfy outstanding liabilities of the Company due to our Chief Executive Officer, Leslie Kessler (Kessler), dating back to 2007. In the settlement, Ms. Kessler and the Company have agreed, in exchange for the issuance of 325 shares of convertible preferred stock (Series J Preferred Stock) to Ms. Kessler, that all deferred compensation owing to Ms. Kessler and all loan obligations of the Company due to Ms. Kessler would be terminated, apart from a $17,500 loan to the Company by Ms. Kessler, which remains outstanding.
The Series J Preferred Stock issued to Ms. Kessler has a stated value of $325,000 and an annual dividend yield of 5%, and is convertible into 650,000,000 shares of common stock at the option of Ms. Kessler. The Company has the option to redeem the preferred stock at any time for an amount equal to its stated value plus any accrued dividend by paying cash to Ms. Kessler subject to a conversion notice tendered by the holder within five days from receipt of a redemption notice.
The Company estimated the fair value of the 325 shares of preferred stock on the date of the settlement to be $195,000.
The gain resulting from the settlement of the amounts due to Kessler was determined as follows:
Preferred stock to be issued | $ | 195,000 |

Operating Leases
25 Fairchild Ave
Effective as of July 1, 2008, the Company entered into a seven-year lease for 5,300 square feet of space at 25 Fairchild Avenue in Plainview, New York. The facility is to serve as the Companys executive offices, sales office, showroom and an assembly area.

An inquest began on December 10, 2014 to determine the amount of money damages due on Fairchilds claim and on March 3, 2015 the court awarded judgment to the plaintiff against the Company in the sum of $887,929. Adding interests and costs to the awarded amount, judgment has been entered against the Company in the total sum of $892,042. Interest on the judgment will continue to accrue at the rate of 9% per annum until satisfied.

Consulting Agreement
On June 13, 2014, the Company entered into a consulting agreement (the Consulting Agreement) with Tarpon, a related party, for the period from the date of the agreement through March 31, 2015. The agreement requires Tarpon to provide general management and consulting services and advisory services to the Company, including assistance in connection with the restructuring of its outstanding debt and equity securities.
Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Tarpon will be compensated by the issuance to it by the Company of shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Tarpon will receive Series H Preferred Stock with a stated value of $425,000 upon the execution of the Agreement, and additional Series H Preferred Stock with a stated value of $75,000 monthly, commencing July 1, 2014 and continuing through the balance of the term.

Litigation
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.
In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Companys business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has the following litigation outstanding.
The Company has remained a defendant in a lawsuit since September 12, 2012 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, filed by Fairchild Warehouse Associates, LLC (Fairchild), as plaintiff, for recovery of past rental payments for the Companys former office space at 25 Fairchild Avenue, Plainview, New York 11803. An inquest began on December 10, 2014 to determine the amount of money damages due on Fairchilds claim and on March 3, 2015 the court awarded judgment to the plaintiff against the Company in the sum of $887,929. Adding interests and costs to the awarded amount, judgment has been entered against the Company in the total sum of $892,042. Interest on the judgment will continue to accrue at the rate of 9% per annum until satisfied. As of March 31, 2015 the Company has accrued a liability of $904,743 related to the judgment and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at March 31, 2015.
The Company is in default under a May 30, 2012, Securities Purchase Agreement entered into with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (TCA), providing for the issuance of $275,000 principal amount of senior secured redeemable and convertible debentures due November 30, 2012. On October 4, 2013, at the request of the lender due to default, the Company converted $303,499 of convertible notes and accrued interest into a new convertible note in the amount of $531,431. The increase in principal was due to amounts charged by the lender for penalties, interest, legal and other fees. The newly issued note bears interest at rates of 18% per annum and is due on demand. The lender may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other sums due and payable under the Note into shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Companys common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such applicable conversion date, in each case subject to the lender not being able to beneficially own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock upon any conversion. The conversion price is subject to anti-dilution protection and down round provisions in the event that the Company issues additional equity securities at a price less than the conversion price. On March 10, 2014, TCA accelerated the outstanding principal balance, interest, calculated at the default rate of 18%, and all sums due under the original note and any amendments. In August 2014 a default final judgment was entered against the Company concluding that TCA is entitled to damages in the amount of $610,349, to foreclose upon the security interests, and to recover attorneys fees and costs incurred by TCA. In addition prejudgment interest shall be assessed at a rate of 18% per annum and post judgment interest shall be assessed at a rate of 4.75% per annum. As of March 31, 2015 the Company has accrued a liability of $675,715 related to the TCA claim and is included in convertible notes payable.
On November 27, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Tarpon Bay Partners LLC (Tarpon), a related party. The manager of Tarpon is Stephen Hicks, the President of the Company.

Per the terms of the settlement the Company was to issue Tarpon shares of common stock in one or more tranches as necessary, and subject to adjustment and ownership limitations, and a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $75,000. The Company failed to issue shares to Tarpon and in the first quarter of 2014 TCA rescinded its liabilities purchase agreement with Tarpon. As of March 31, 2015 the Company has accrued a liability of $61,474 related to the Designs and Project Development Corporation claim and is included in notes payable and the $506,431 related to TCA has been included in convertible promissory notes.

The convertible promissory note has no registration rights and shall be convertible into the common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion price equal to 75% of the low closing bid price for the twenty days prior to conversion. The conversion price is subject to anti-dilution protection and down round provisions in the event that the Company issues additional equity securities at a price less than the conversion price.

General
Overview and Recent Developments
We have developed a patent pending PureSafe First Response Water System (PureSafe FRWS) that is self-contained and purifies essentially any type of raw water source or decontaminates most contaminated water without prior knowledge of the contaminants, including seawater. This system is uniquely mobile, by helicopter or transported by truck. The initial PureSafe FRWS prototype was developed using advanced Israeli water treatment technology. The original prototype was capable of producing 10,000 gallons of water per day, but could not desalinate sea water, and did not have a built in generator or water bagging capability. Adhering to the original treatment train and process, we have since built a 2nd prototype (FRWS unit). The FRWS unit can produce EPA compliant drinking water at the rate of 30,000 gallons per day, to provide drinking water to 45,000 people. This system has received Gold Seal Certification from the Water Quality Association in September 2010, was re-certified in April 2011 and January 2013, a significant accomplishment. In addition, the Nassau County Department of Health independently tested the PureSafe units water quality and the results exceeded all testing parameters. The FRWS-30K unit was designed to meet the output, ease of operation, mobility and water quality requirements as described in the Operational Requirements Document issued by the U.S Department of Homeland Security (2009) for emergency water supplies.
On October 6, 2014, the Company received from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office a Notice of Allowance (for issuance as a patent) and Fee(s) Due with respect to our application (No. 12/100,137) for versatile water purification systems and methods, which application was filed April 9, 2008.
Under our Exclusive Sales and Marketing Agreement with GEM present and future distributors and representatives will be integrated with GEMs existing worldwide distributor network. GEM has appointed a Product Manager for our technology.
We have sold and delivered three FRWS units, one being sold to an end user in the oil and gas exploration business in Texas (delivered in Dec 2011), the second sold to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs for the State of Alaska (delivered in the first quarter of 2012) and the third sold to the State of Vera Cruz, Mexico in the fourth quarter of 2012. All of the sold units were manufactured in our production facility.
Over the past several years we have demonstrated our FRWS system at several emergency preparedness conferences in New York and California, and numerous times at our offices in New York.

Restructure of Agreements with Southridge LLC Group
On June 13, 2014, the Company entered into a one year consulting agreement (the Consulting Agreement) with Tarpon Bay Partners, LLC (Tarpon), a company controlled by Southridge LLC (Southridge), for the period from the date of the agreement through March 31, 2015, pursuant to which Tarpon was issued an aggregate of 29 shares of the Corporations Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series H Preferred Stock) as compensation for the general management and consulting services provided by Tarpon. We have restructured all financial arrangements as follows. Tarpon is the holder of convertible notes issued by the Corporation in the aggregate principal amount of $312,394.54 (the Tarpon Notes); ASC Recap LLC (ASC) is the holder of 25,375,000 shares of the Companys common stock (the ASC Common Stock); and Southridge Partners II, LP (Southridge II) is the holder of convertible notes issued by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $47,500 (Southridge II Notes), the Tarpon Notes, the ASC Common Stock and the Southridge II Notes being referred to as the Southridge Securities. The Company effective July 2, 2015 entered into an Exchange Agreement with Tarpon, ASC, Southridge II and Stephen Hicks, CEO of Southridge, collectively the Southridge Parties, pursuant to which the Company issued to Tarpon a 10% Promissory Note due June 30, 2016, in exchange for (1) delivery to the Company and cancellation by the respective holders thereof of the Southridge Securities and the shares of Series H Preferred Stock held by Tarpon, and (2) the return to the Company for no consideration and cancellation of the outstanding 51 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, a super-voting series of preferred stock held by Stephen Hicks. Effective July 2, 2015, Stephen Hicks and Gilbert Steedley resigned as directors of the Company, and Stephen Hicks resigned as President and Henry Sargent, as Secretary, of the Company.
Plan of Operations
Our plans for the next twelve months include:
Our marketing plan is based on the following key components:
Strategic Alliances We entered into an Engineering Package Agreement in January 2013 with ETG/Engineering Technologies Group, Inc. ETG will re-engineer and value engineer the system so that production can be outsourced. This should allow for the Company to meet future demands for the product. We also entered into a second agreement, with Global Equipment Marketing, Inc. (GEM). GEM will sell and market our products utilizing as a dba PureSafe Water System Sales.
Direct Marketing and Sales The marketing and sales plan will initially focus on short term developed business opportunities where money is currently available. The sales effort will be by both direct sales, development of an international dealer distribution network, and through the assistance of sales consultants and representatives.
Referencing our goals, we are also redirecting the sales effort so that it will no longer predominantly rely on one sector of the economy. We will now aim to expand our product to the oil and gas sector, as well as many government and municipalities; and agricultural and industrial businesses. We are reviewing the entire approach to the product with an aim to deepen and diversify our distribution channels, lower our cost of production, improve the Companys profit margin on sales and maintain an inventory of
units for immediate sale.
At present our demonstration unit is on the road in a much more organized and deliberate approach to achieve maximum exposure through the balance of this year. We will be updating our marketing materials and directing more resources to our sales and marketing efforts.
No assurance can be given that any of the above items will be completed during the next twelve months or at any time in the future. Further, completion of all of such items does not guaranty that we will generate any revenue or become profitable at any time in the future.
Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
Revenues. We recognized $0 revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $0 and $0, respectively.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $309,055 compared to $194,502 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a $114,553 or 59% increase.
The following is an analysis of certain operating expense fluctuations between the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
25
Compensation and related benefits expenses, including directors fees for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $111,564 compared to $96,849 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a $14,715 or 15% increase.
The Company paid no compensation to its directors during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Salaries expenses, excluding Stock-based compensation, decreased from $96,849 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $96,564 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was a result of the following approximate decreases; officers salaries decreased approximately $33,750 and office, sales, administrative salaries and payroll taxes, net increased approximately $33,500.
Stock Based Compensation, excluding directors fees, consulting fees and marketing expense, increased $15,000 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. We issued 0.60 shares of series H preferred stock to our Company Chief Executive Officer during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and recorded $15,000 stock-based compensation for such issuance.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $2,031 compared to expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $0, a $2,031 increase. During the past three years, due to cash restrictions, we have curtailed the expenses on research and development. However, we understand the vital importance of research and development for our overall success. We are committed to continue to conduct research and development activities to ensure PureSafe FRWS has the most advanced technology within the water filtration equipment industry.
Professional, legal and consulting fees expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $67,985, compared to $28,388 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a $39,597 or 139% increase. The main reason for the $39,597 increase was due to an increase in legal and professional fees due to increased fees incurred related to the Companys public reporting requirements, litigation and patent related costs.
Occupancy related expenses increased $79,129 from $15,855 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $94,984 for three months ended March 31, 2015. The fluctuation in occupancy related expenses in 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 is as a result of the following:
Effective as of July 1, 2008, the Company entered into a seven-year lease for 5,300 square feet of space at 25 Fairchild Avenue in Plainview, New York. The facility is to serve as the Companys executive offices, sales office, showroom and an assembly area.
In March 2012 management exercised a Good Guy Clause in its lease and abandoned the space at 25 Fairchild Avenue.
On September 12, 2012, as a result of the Companys action, Fairchild Warehouse Associates, LLC (Fairchild), as plaintiff, filed suit for recovery of past rental payments for the Companys former office space at 25 Fairchild Avenue, Plainview, N.Y. 11803. An inquest began on December 10, 2014 to determine the amount of money damages due on Fairchilds claim and on March 3, 2015 the court awarded judgment to the plaintiff against the Company in the sum of $887,929. Adding interests and costs to the awarded amount, judgment has been entered against the Company in the total sum of $892,042.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company recorded rent, rent related expenses and penalties of $91,125 as a result of the judgment which is included in occupancy expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Other administrative and general expenses decreased $5,546 from $19,028 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $13,482 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a 29% decrease. Due to cash restrictions we have curtailed spending on a combination of other administrative and general expenses that were not included in the above discussion.
Other Income (Expenses)-net
We recognized $1,379,424 in net non-operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to net non-operating expenses of $(315,565) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a $1,694,989 or 537% increase.
The following is a detailed analysis for such increase:
Interest expense incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $526,976 and $207,765, respectively, a $319,211 or 154% increase.
26
The following factors primarily impacted interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015: i) During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred approximately $22,000 in interest expense as the result of failing to issue conversion shares in a timely manner that was dictated by the terms of outstanding notes; ii) During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred approximately $319,000 in interest expense as the result of the fair value, on the date of issuance, of the conversion features and warrants issued with certain debt in excess of the face value of the debt.
The following factors primarily impacted interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014: i) During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred approximately $47,800 in interest expense as the result of failing to issue conversion shares in a timely manner that was dictated by the terms of outstanding notes; ii) During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred approximately $49,600 in interest expense as the result of the fair value, on the date of issuance, of the conversion features and warrants issued with certain debt in excess of the face value of the debt.
In addition, the change in interest expense for any period is always affected by the issuances of new debt, repayments of debt and conversions of debt.
The accretion of debt discount during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $124,517 and $87,920, respectively, a $36,597 or 42% increase. The main reason for the increase in the accretion of debt discount is due to the amortization of the debt discount of our loans that we entered during the first quarter of 2015 and the year 2014.
Changes in fair value of warrants and embedded conversion options for three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $1,906,400 and $(107,800), respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2015, we maintained a cash balance of $258 as compared to $4,967 as of December 31, 2014.
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $141,638, compared to $92,387 used during the three months ended March 31, 2014, a $49,251 or 53% increase. During the current period the Company experienced increased expenditures in legal and professional fees due to increased fees incurred related to the Companys public reporting requirements. During the past three years, due to cash restrictions, we have curtailed expenses on salaries, marketing, and research and development. Currently the Company generates no revenues and relies on debt financings in-order to sustain operating activities. The Company expects cash from operations to remain negative until we start to generate adequate revenues.
Funds received from officers and directors loans and convertible loans during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $3,490 and $6,500, respectively; cash received from issuing convertible promissory notes was $146,350 and $0, respectively; and cash received from issuing promissory notes was $0 and $92,500, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 cash used to repay officers and directors notes was $0 and $6,300, respectively; and cash used to repay notes payable was $12,962 and $2,500, respectively.
From the above activities, net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $136,929 and $90,200, respectively.
Aggregating operating, investing and financing activities from above, net cash provided (used) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $(4,709) and $(2,187), respectively.
On February 6, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement in order to satisfy outstanding liabilities of the Company due to our Chief Executive Officer, Leslie Kessler (Kessler), dating back to 2007. In the settlement, Ms. Kessler and the Company have agreed, in exchange for the issuance of 325 shares of convertible preferred stock (Series J Preferred Stock) to Ms. Kessler, that all deferred compensation owing to Ms. Kessler and all loan obligations of the Company due to Ms. Kessler would be terminated, apart from a $17,500 loan to the Company by Ms. Kessler, which remains outstanding. (See Financial Statement - Note 9 which is included in this document)
Going Concern
At March 31, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $5.8 million. We continue to suffer recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit since inception of approximately $51.2 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
27
The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to bring the Companys products to market and generate revenues, control costs, and obtain additional financing, as required and on reasonable terms. The Companys plans with respect to these matters include restructuring its existing debt and raising additional financing through issuance of preferred stock, common stock and/or debt.
The Companys goal is to generate the sales of the Company's flagship mobile water purification product and to ultimately diversify its product line through ingenuity and/or acquisition. In order to accomplish these goals we are redirecting the sales effort so that the Company will no longer predominantly focus on the government sector, a target with historically long lead times. In addition the Company is reviewing the entire approach to the product with an aim to 1) deepen and diversify our distribution channels, 2) lower our cost of production, 3) improve the Company's profit margin on and 4) maintain an inventory of units for immediate sale.
The Company requires immediate capital to remain viable. The Company can give no assurance that such financing will be available on terms advantageous to the Company, or at all. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all of its operational activities. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent to March 31, 2015, the Company has issued approximately $134,000 of convertible notes payable. From April 1, 2015 until September 30, 2015, the Company issued 432,895,711 shares of common stock, relating to prior period conversion requests, for the settlement of $19,200 loan principal plus $3,695 accrued interest, and fees. As of September 30, 2015 the Company has a cash overdraft of approximately $(1,000).
Effects of Recent Accounting Policies
The FASB and the SEC have issued certain accounting standards updates and regulations that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management of the Company does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected the Companys financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2015 or 2014, and does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of the statements in accordance with these principles requires that we make estimates, using available data and our judgment, for such things as valuing assets, accruing liabilities and estimating expenses. The following is a list of what we believe are the most critical estimations that we make when preparing our consolidated financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
We report stock-based compensation under ASC 718. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values.
We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees as compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and 505, which require that each such equity instrument is recorded at its fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed.
Derivative Liabilities
In connection with the issuance of certain convertible promissory notes, the terms of the convertible notes included an embedded conversion feature; which provided for the settlement of certain convertible promissory notes into shares of common stock at a rate which was determined to be variable with no floor. The Company determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging
28
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the conversion option and related warrants, if applicable, at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. As a result of entering into certain convertible promissory notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee warrants as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date because the Company could not determine it has enough authorized shares to settle the contracts. Any change in fair value was recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
The fair value of conversion options that are convertible at a variable conversion price are required to be valued using a Binomial Lattice Model. The Company determined the fair value of the conversion option using either the Black-Scholes Valuation Model or the Binomial Lattice Model to be materially the same.
The Black-Scholes Valuation Model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants and conversion option. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the instrument granted.
Income taxes
We account for income taxes under guidance provided by ASC 740 Income Taxes which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as unrecognized benefits. A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprises potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.
In accordance with ASC 740, interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated (if applicable) and would be classified as Interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of General and administrative expenses.
Our uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. We file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
This Item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Principal Financial Officer (PFO), we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management identified the following material weaknesses as of March 31, 2015.
29
Entity Level. We recognize the need to provide leadership and guidance to our employees regarding the maintenance and preparation of financial matters. There is a weakness due to the fact that there are not documented policies and procedures in place for certain procedures. In addition we have not established an independent audit committee and the board of directors have assumed this responsibility.
Financial Reporting. There needs to be a more structured mechanism for evidence of review in the financial reporting process. The following procedures have been implemented since the beginning of 2009, (a) PFO signs and date all financial documents upon the completion of reviewing such documents, (b) all approval or permission will be evidenced by either email or in writing. No oral approval or permission is allowed, (c) General Journal is recorded only after PFO approves (in writing) such entry and (d) monthly bank reconciliations must complete within 15 days after month ends and reviewed by PFO 5 days after the completion of bank reconciliation. Due to our limited personnel and resources we are not always in compliance with these procedures.
Complex Accounting Transactions: Due to our limited resources and personnel management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, a material weakness exists because the Company does not currently employ a sufficient number of qualified accounting personnel to ensure proper and timely evaluation of complex accounting, tax, and disclosure issues that may arise during the course of the Companys business.
Confidential Reporting Mechanism: We recognize that we need to provide leadership and guidance to our employees, clients and vendors regarding business ethics and professional conduct. A confidential reporting mechanism must be in place for anonymous reporting of a breach to these ethics that will enable prompt and thorough investigation. In January 2009, we implemented a whistleblower program. A toll-free number, as well as an email address, were posted on the homepage of our website to encourage our employee, contractors, sub-contractors, vendors to report any unethical or illegal behavior they suspect. Due to our limited personnel and resources we do not have an independent audit committee overseeing this process.
Segregation of Duties: Our administrative staff consists of officers, one Controller and one receptionist and segregation of duties conflicts exist with our day to day operations. Therefore, we have relied heavily on entity or management review controls to lessen the issue of segregation of duties.
Management intends to address these material weakness by reviewing the Companys accounting and finance processes to identify any improvements thereto that might enhance the Companys internal control over financial reporting and determine the feasibility of implementing such improvements and by seeking qualified employees and/or outside consultants who possess the knowledge needed to eliminate this weakness with our available resources. To mediate the material weaknesses management has increased its level of monitoring activities and has prepared additional analyses of key financial accounts. In addition the Company hires an outside consultant to assist management with its annual and quarterly SEC reporting. The Companys ability to remediate these weaknesses, however, has been delayed or limited by resource constraints. Upon receiving adequate financing the Company plans to increase its controls in these areas by hiring more experienced employees in financial reporting, establishing an audit committee and formally documenting the controls the Company has in place.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Given these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first, second and third quarter of our 2014 fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our Principal Financial Officer resigned from the Company on February 15, 2014. Upon the resignation of our PFO the Companys CEO took over the role of the PFO and the Company hired an outside consultant to assist management with its annual and quarterly SEC reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Companys business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows. The Company has the following litigation outstanding.
The Company has remained a defendant in a lawsuit since September 12, 2012 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, filed by Fairchild Warehouse Associates, LLC (Fairchild), as plaintiff, for recovery of past rental payments for the Companys former office space at 25 Fairchild Avenue, Plainview, New York 11803. An inquest began on December 10, 2014 to determine the amount of money damages due on Fairchilds claim and on March 3, 2015 the court awarded judgment to the plaintiff against the Company in the sum of $887,929. Adding interests and costs to the awarded amount, judgment has been entered against the Company in the total sum of $892,042.

On October 4, 2013, at the request of the lender due to default, the Company converted $303,499 of convertible notes and accrued interest into a new convertible note in the amount of $531,431.

The lender may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other sums due and payable under the Note into shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Companys common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such applicable conversion date, in each case subject to the lender not being able to beneficially own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock upon any conversion.

On March 10, 2014, TCA accelerated the outstanding principal balance, interest, calculated at the default rate of 18%, and all sums due under the original note and any amendments. In August 2014 a default final judgment was entered against the Company concluding that TCA is entitled to damages in the amount of $610,349, to foreclose upon the security interests, and to recover attorneys fees and costs incurred by TCA. In addition prejudgment interest shall be assessed at a rate of 18% per annum and post judgment interest shall be assessed at a rate of 4.75% per annum.

Per the terms of the settlement the Company was to issue Tarpon shares of common stock in one or more tranches as necessary, and subject to adjustment and ownership limitations, and a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $75,000.

The convertible promissory note has no registration rights and shall be convertible into the common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion price equal to 75% of the low closing bid price for the twenty days prior to conversion. The conversion price is subject to anti-dilution protection and down round provisions in the event that the Company issues additional equity securities at a price less than the conversion price. The Company may prepay the note at 150% of the entire outstanding principal amount of the note plus any accrued but unpaid interest.
