At the end of 2008, we launched our new business concept of medical services and technology that delivers turnkey solutions to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers for necessary, reasonable and appropriate treatment for musculo-skeletal spine injuries. Moving forward, our main focus will be on the expansion and development of spine injury diagnostic centers across the nation.

The increasedecrease in bad debt expense is primarily attributable to our decision to discontinue doing business in Florida in 2014, which has resulted in limited personnel and affiliates in the region to assist in collection efforts. Weefforts and a resulting increase in the allowance for bad debts in 2015 and 2016, with no similar bad debt write offs related to Florida in 2017.

The small decrease in expense 2015for 2017 versus 2014,2016 is primarily attributable to the restructuring of our debt from high interest notes to our line of credit with Wells Fargo which bears interest at the 30 day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2%, resulting in an effective rate of 2.42%3.57% at December 31, 2015.2017.

Critical Accounting Policies
In Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 20152017 and 20142016 included in this Form 10-K, we discuss those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and our financial position. The following critical accounting policies and estimates are important in the preparation of our financial statements:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that we believe to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
We conform to the guidance provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition.” Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is obtained prior to services being rendered when the patient completes and signs the medical and financial paperwork. Delivery of services is considered to have occurred when medical diagnostic services are provided to the patient. The price and terms for the services are considered fixed and determinable at the time that the medical services are provided and are based upon the type and extent of the services rendered. Our credit policy has been established based upon extensive experience by management in the industry and has been determined to ensure that collectability is reasonably assured. Payment for services are primarily made to us by a third party and the credit policy includes terms of net 240 days for collections.
We recognize revenue and accounts receivable in accordance with SEC staff accounting bulletin, Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition”, which requires persuasive evidence that a sales arrangement exists; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured before revenue is recognized. The patients are billed by the healthcare provider based on Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) codes for the medical procedure performed. CPT codes are numbers assigned to every task and service a medical practitioner may provide to a patient including medical, surgical and diagnostic services. CPT codes are developed, maintained and
copyrighted by the American Medical Association. Patients are billed at the normal billing amount, based on national averages, for a particular CPT code procedure.
Revenue and corresponding accounts receivable are recognized by reference to “net revenue” and “accounts receivable, net” which is defined as gross amounts billed using CPT codes less account discounts that are expected to result when individual cases are ultimately settled. While we do collect 100% of the accounts on some patients, our historical collection rate is used to calculate the carrying balance of the accounts receivable and the estimated revenue to be recorded. A discount rate of 48%, based on payment history, was used to reduce revenue to 52% of CPT code billings (“gross revenue”) during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Accounting Standards Updates
In Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 20152017 and 20142016 included in this Form 10-K, we discuss those recent accounting pronouncements that may be considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and our financial position.
Going Concern
Since our inception in 1998, until commencement of our spine injury diagnostic operations in August, 2009, our expenses substantially exceeded our revenue, resulting in continuing losses and an accumulated deficit from operations of $15,004,698 as of December 31, 2009. Since that time, our accumulated deficit has increased $1,389,997$2,551,866 to $16,394,695$17,556,564 as of December 31, 2015.2017. During the year ended December 31, 2015,2017, we realized net revenue of $2,192,181$1,855,615 and a net loss of $1,057,604.$405,924. Successful business operations and our transition to attaining profitability are dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure. Considering the nature of the business, we are not generating immediate liquidity and sufficient working capital within a reasonable period of time to fund our planned operations and strategic business plan through December 31, 2016.2018. There can be no assurances that there will be adequate financing available to us. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Spine Injury Solutions Inc., (the “Company,”“Company”, “we” or “us”), was incorporated inunder the laws of Delaware on March 4, 19981998. We changed our name to acquire interests in variousSpine Injury Solutions Inc. on October 1, 2015. We have two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Quad Video Halo, Inc. which holds certain assets associated with our Quad Video Halo (“QVH”) business, operations and assist in their development.Gleric Holdings, LLC which holds certain intangible assets.
At the end of December 2008,We are a technology, marketing, billing, and collection company facilitating diagnostic services for patients who have sustained spine injuries. In addition, we began moving forwardare developing QVH programs to launch our new business concept of deliveringassist surgeons and other healthcare providers with treatment documentation in specialized areas, such as spine injuries and regenerative medicine. We deliver turnkey solutions to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers for necessary and appropriate treatment of musculo-skeletalwho treat spine injuries. Our goal is to become a leader in providing technology and monetizing services to spine and orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers. By monetizing the providers’ accounts receivable, patients are not unnecessarily delayed or prevented from obtaining needed treatment. After a patient is billed for the procedures performed we oversee collection.
We currently have three affiliatedare providing technology and/or collection services to four spine injury diagnostic centers withinin the United States, which are located in Houston, Texas; Odessa, Texas; Tyler, Texas; and San Antonio, Texas.Las Cruces, New Mexico (which affiliation was added in the fourth quarter 2017). We are seeking additional funding for expansion by way of reasonable debt financing to accelerate future development. In connection with this strategy, we plan to offer our technology to additional diagnostic centers in new market areas that are attractive under our business model, assuming adequate funds are available.
We areown a medical servicespatented device and process by which a video recording system is attached to a fluoroscopic x-ray machine, the “four camera technology,” which we believe can attract additional physicians and patients, and provide us with additional revenue streams with our new programs designed to assist in treatment documentation. We have refined the technology, company facilitatingthrough research and development, resulting in a fully commercialized Quad Video Halo System 3.0. Using this technology, diagnostic services for patients who have sustained spine injuries resulting from traumatic accidents. We deliver turnkey solutions to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers that provide necessary and appropriate treatment of musculo-skeletal spine injuries resulting from automobile and work-related accidents. Our management services help reduce the financial burden on healthcare providers that provide patients with early-stage diagnostic testing and non-invasive surgical care, preventing many patients from being unnecessarily delayed or inhibited from obtaining needed treatment.
Through our management system, we affiliate with spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers who diagnose and treat patients with musculo-skeletal spine injuries. We assist the centers that provide the spine diagnostic injections and treatment procedures are recorded from four separate video feeds that capture views from both inside and outside the doctors are paidbody, and a fixed rate for the medical procedures they performed. After a patientvideo is billed for the procedures performed, we take control of the patients’ unpaid bill and oversee collection. In most instances, the patientmade which is a plaintiff in an accident case, where the patient is represented by an attorney. Typically, the defendant (and/or the insurance company of the defendant) in the accident case paysgiven to the patient’s bill upon settlement or final judgment ofrepresentative to verify the accident case. The paymenttreatment received. Additionally, we anticipate independent medical representatives will sell Quad Video Halo units to us is made through the attorney of the patient. In most cases, we must agree to the settlement priceadditional hospitals and the patient must sign off on the settlement. Once we are paid, the patient’s attorney can receive payment for his or her legal fee.
The clinic facilities where the spine injury diagnostic centers operate are owned or leased by third parties. We have no ownership interest in these clinic facilities and have no responsibilities towards building or operating the clinic facilities.clinics.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
Since our inception in 1998, until commencement of our spine injury diagnostic operations in August, 2009, our expenses substantially exceeded our revenue, resulting in continuing losses and an accumulated deficit from operations of $15,004,698 as of December 31, 2009. Since that time, our accumulated deficit has increased $1,389,997$2,551,866 to $16,394,695$17,556,564 as of December 31, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2015,2017. We plan to increase our operating expenses as we realized net revenue of $2,192,181increase our service development, marketing efforts and a net loss of $1,057,604. Successful business operationsbrand building activities. We also plan to increase our general and our transition to sustained positive cash flows from operations are dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a level of collections adequateadministrative functions to support our cost structure. Considering the nature ofgrowing operations. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve our business we are not generating immediate liquidityplan. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to successfully execute our business plan, as well as our ability to increase revenue from services and sufficient workingobtain additional capital within a reasonable period of timefrom borrowing and selling securities, as needed, to fund our planned operationsoperations. There is no assurance that additional capital can be obtained or that it can be obtained on terms that are favorable to us and strategicour existing stockholders. Any expectation of future profitability is dependent upon our ability to expand and develop our healthcare services business, plan through December 31, 2016. Thereof which there can be no assurances that there will be adequate financing available to us. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spine Injury Solutions and its wholly owned subsidiary,subsidiaries, Quad Video Halo, Inc. and Gleric Holdings, LLC. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidationconsolidation.
Accounting Method
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of our financial position and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) staff accounting bulletin, Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, which specifies that only when persuasive evidence for an arrangement exists; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured can revenue be recognized.
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is obtained prior to services being rendered when the patient completes and signs the medical and financial paperwork. Delivery of services is considered to have occurred when medical diagnostic services are provided to the patient. The price and terms for the services are considered fixed and determinable at the time that the medical services are provided and are based upon the type and extent of the services rendered. Our credit policy has been established based upon extensive experience by management in the industry and has been determined to ensure that collectability is reasonably assured. Payment for services are primarily made to us by a third party and the credit policy includes terms of net 240 days for collections; however, collections occur upon settlement or judgment of cases (see Note 6)4).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, and notes payable as reflected in the consolidated financial statements, approximates fair value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in banks which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on these deposits.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method, whereas market is based on the net realizable value. All inventories at December 31, 20152017 and 20142016 are classified as finished-goods and consist of our Quad Video Halo.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed of, the related carrying cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and the net difference, less any amount realized from the disposition, is recorded in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Costs of significant improvements and renewals are capitalized.
Property and equipment consists of computers and equipment and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives of three to five years, using the straight-line method.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible assets acquired are initially recognized at cost. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Intangibles with a finite life are amortized, ratably, based on the contractual terms of the associated agreements. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company’s balance of intangible assets consisted solely of goodwill totaling $170,200.
Goodwill recognized in a business combination is subjective and represents the value of the excess amount given to the acquired company above the estimated fair market value of the identifiable net assets on the acquisition date. Each year, during the fourth quarter, the goodwill amount is reviewed to determine if any impairment has occurred. Impairment occurs when the original amount of goodwill exceeds the value of the expected future net cash flows from the business acquired. At December 31, 20152017 and 2014,2016, no impairment to the asset was determined to have occurred.
Research and Development
Research and development projects and costs are expensed as incurred. These costs consist of direct costs associated with the design of new products. Research and development expenses incurred during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, were $15,688 and $45,661, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
We periodically review and evaluate long-lived assets such as intangible assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. In performing our review for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of such assets and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future operating cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the related assets, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying amount of such assets over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash flows. At December 31, 20152017 and 2014,2016, no impairment of the long-lived assets was determined to have occurred.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Assets that expose us to credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Our accounts receivable are from a diversified customer base and, therefore, we believe the concentration of credit risk is minimal. Our sales are within a certain region of the United States of America, specifically the state of Texas. Changes in legal or economic factors within Texas may affect the Company’s operating results. We evaluate the creditworthiness of customers before any services are provided. We record a discount based on the nature of our business, collection trends, and an assessment of our ability to fully realize amounts billed for services. Additionally, based on management’s estimates, we have established an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $495,877$106,443 and $342,084,$958,185, at December 31, 20152017 and 2014,2016, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
We account for the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. Under authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), companies are required to estimate the fair value or calculated value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of awards that are ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations. We use the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards. During the years ended December 31, 20152017 and 2014,2016, we recognized compensation expense related to our stock optionsbased compensation of $12,012$15,800 and $171,110,$6,200, respectively. We also recognized compensation expense for issuances of our common stock in exchange for services of $178,233$5,100 and $180,500$19,300 during the years ended December 31, 20152017 and 2014,2016, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we amortized $0 and $60,000, respectively, in compensation expense for issuance of common stock out of prepaid expenses.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred assets and liabilities are recognized based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We establish a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be utilized against future taxable income.
Uncertain Tax Positions
Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 740-10-25 defines the minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements as “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood of occurrence greater than fifty percent). Under ASC Topic 740-10-25, the recognition threshold is met when an entity concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Those tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first interim period in which they meet the more likely than not standard, or are resolved through negotiation or litigation with the taxing authority, or upon expiration of the statute of limitations. De-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized occurs when an entity subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not threshold of being sustained.
We are subject to ongoing tax exposures, examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, we may incur additional tax expense based upon the outcomes of such matters. In addition, when applicable, we will adjust tax expense to reflect our ongoing assessments of such matters which require judgment and can materially increase or decrease our effective rate as well as impact operating results.
Under ASC Topic 740-10-25, only the portion of the liability that is expected to be paid within one year is classified as a current liability. As a result, liabilities expected to be resolved without the payment of cash (e.g. resolution due to the expiration of the statute of limitations) or are not expected to be paid within one year are not classified as current. We have recently adopted a policy of recording estimated interest and penalties as income tax expense and tax credits as a reduction in income tax expense. As of and forFor the years ended December 31, 20152017 and 2014,2016, we recognized no estimated interest or penalties as income tax expense.
We have not made any provisions for federal and state income tax liabilities or interest and penalties that may result from the uncertainty that arose as a result of filing our U.S. federal and applicable state tax returns in 2010 related to tax years 2004 to 2009. The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. Our major taxing jurisdictions include the United States and various states.
Legal Costs and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we incur costs to hire and retain external legal counsel to advise us on regulatory, litigation and other matters. We expense these costs as the related services are received.
If a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we recognize an expense for the estimated loss. If we have the potential to recover a portion of the estimated loss from a third party, we make a separate assessment of recoverability and reduce the estimated loss if recovery is also deemed probable.
Net Loss per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” for all periods presented. During years ended December 31, 20152017 and 2014,2016, common stock equivalents from outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible debt have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share in the consolidated statements of operations, because all such securities were anti-dilutive. The net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 include a five-step process by which entities will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of good or services to customers in amounts that reflect the payment to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also will require enhanced disclosures, provide more comprehensive guidance for transactions such as service revenue and contract modifications, and enhance guidance for multiple-element arrangements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 which delayed the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year (effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017). Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently reviewingadopted the effectprovisions of this ASU No. 2014-09 on our revenue recognition. In July 2015, the FASB announced that public companies will apply the new standards effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017 (JanuaryJanuary 1, 2018 for us). and applied a modified retrospective approach which did not have a significant impact on the Company’s revenues or their timing.
In June 2014,February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, AccountingNo. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize the following for Share-Based Payments Whenall leases (with the Termsexception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an Award Provide Thatasset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a Performance Target Could be Achieved afterspecified asset for the Requisite Service Period. This newlease term. Under ASU No. 2016-02, lessor accounting guidance under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, provides explicit guidance on whether to treat a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition that affects vesting or as a non-vesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of an award. The guidance will becomeis largely unchanged. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is2018 with early application permitted. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounted for leases expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Management has determined that based on current accounting and lease contract information the adoption of ASU 2014-12No. 2016-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations orand disclosures. However, management is continually evaluating the future impact of ASU No. 2016-02 based on changes in the Company’s consolidated financial statements through the period of adoption.
In August 2014,May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, PresentationNo. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. ASU No. 2016-12 provides narrow-scope improvements to the guidance on collectability, noncash consideration, and completed contracts at transition. The amendment also provides a practical expedient for contract modifications at transition and an accounting policy election related to the presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers and are expected to reduce the judgment necessary to comply with Topic 606. The effective date and transition requirements for ASU No. 2016-12 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU No. 2014-09. We adopted the provisions of this ASU on January 1, 2018 and applied a modified retrospective approach which did not have a significant impact on the Company’s revenues or their timing.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial StatementsInstruments – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)Credit Losses (Topic 326): DisclosureMeasurement of Uncertainties about an Entities Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendmentsCredit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in ASU 2014-15 are intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concerncurrent US GAAP and, to provide related footnote disclosure. Under U.S. GAAP,instead, requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial statements are prepared under the presumption thatassets held at the reporting entity will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. The going concern basis ofdate based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, ASU No. 2016-13 amends the accounting is critical tofor credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, U.S. GAAP lacks guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. Thiswith credit deterioration. ASU provides guidance to an entity’s management with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by entities today in the financial statement footnotes. ASU 2014-15No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early2020, with early application is permitted.permitted in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoptionamendments of ASU 2014-15No. 2016-13 should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Management is currently evaluating the future impact of ASU No. 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.
In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU No. 2016-20 allows entities not to make quantitative disclosures about remaining performance obligations in certain cases and require entities that use any of the new or previously existing optional exemptions to expand their qualitative disclosures. The amendment also clarifies narrow aspects of ASC 606, including contract modifications, contract costs, and the balance sheet classification of items as contract assets versus receivables, or corrects unintended application of the guidance. The effective date and transition requirements for ASU No. 2016-20 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU No. 2016-09. We adopted the provisions of this ASU on January 1, 2018 and applied a modified retrospective approach which did not have a significant impact on the Company’s revenues or their timing.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU No. 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of a business or as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets. ASU No. 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances. The amendments of ASU No. 2017-01 should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Management is currently evaluating the future impact of ASU No. 2017-01 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings. The amendments in this update relate to disclosures of the impact of recently issued accounting standards. The SEC staff’s view that a registrant should evaluate ASC updates that have not yet been adopted to determine the appropriate financial disclosures about the potential material effects of the updates on the financial statements when adopted. If a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the impact of an update, then in addition to making a statement to that effect, the registrant should consider additional qualitative financial statement disclosures to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the impact. The staff expects the additional qualitative disclosures to include a description of the effect of the accounting policies expected to be applied compared to current accounting policies. Also, the registrant should describe the status of its process to implement the new standards and the significant implementation matters yet to be addressed. The amendments specifically addressed recent ASC amendments to ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, and ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, although, the amendments apply to any subsequent amendments to guidance in the ASC. ASU No. 2017-03 is effective upon issuance and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations orand disclosures.
In January 2015,2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement2017-04, Intangibles – ExtraordinaryGoodwill and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplified Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items, requires that an entity separately classify, present and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item. If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity also is required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments of ASU No. 2015-01 can be applied prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30)Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 are intendedthis update relate to simplify the presentationimpairment test performed annually or interim. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of debt issuance costs. These amendments requirea reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deductionreporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidancequalitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for debt issuance costs are not affected bya reporting unit to determine if the amendments in this ASU.quantitative impairment test is necessary.

The adoption of ASU 2015-03 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which is intended to converge U.S. GAAP on this topic with IFRS. ASU No. 2015-11 focuses on the premeasurement of inventory measured using any method other than LIFO, for example, average cost. Inventory within the scopeamendments of ASU No. 2015-11 is required to2017-04 should be measured atapplied prospectively as of the lowerbeginning of cost and net realizable value. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference shall be recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. That loss may be required, for example, due to damage, physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU No. 2015-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years.of adoption. Management is currently evaluating the future impact of ASU No. 2015-112017-04 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

NOTE 4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENTACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
PropertyWe recognize revenue and equipment consistedaccounts receivable in accordance with SEC staff accounting bulletin, Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition”, which requires persuasive evidence that a sales arrangement exists; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured before revenue is recognized. The patients are billed by the healthcare provider based on Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) codes for the medical procedure performed. CPT codes are numbers assigned to every task and service a medical practitioner may provide to a patient including medical, surgical and diagnostic services. CPT codes are developed, maintained and copyrighted by the American Medical Association. Patients are billed at the normal billing amount, based on national averages, for a particular CPT code procedure.
Revenue and corresponding accounts receivable are recognized by reference to “net revenue” and “accounts receivable, net” which is defined as gross amounts billed using CPT codes less account discounts that are expected to result when individual cases are ultimately settled. While we do collect 100% of the following at December 31, 2015accounts on some patients, our historical collection rate is used to calculate the carrying balance of the accounts receivable and 2014:

A discount rate of 48%, based on payment history, was chargedused to operating, general and administrative expensesreduce revenue to 52% of CPT code billings (“gross revenue”) during the years ended December 31, 20152017 and 2014.2016.
NOTE 5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILLThe patients who receive medical services at the diagnostic centers are typically patients involved in auto accidents or work injuries. The patient completes and signs medical and financial paperwork, which includes an acknowledgement of the patient’s responsibility of payment for the services provided. Additionally, the paperwork should include an assignment of benefits. The timing of collection of receivables varies depending on patient sources of payment. Historical experience, through 2017, demonstrated that the collection period for individual cases may extend for two years or more. Accordingly, we have classified receivables as current or long term based on our experience, which indicates as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 that 30% of cases will be collected within one year of a medical procedure.
Intangible assets consist of non-compete agreements with a cost of $54,000 that expired in 2015. During both the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded amortization expense of $9,000 and $18,000, respectively, related to the non-compete agreements resulting in a remaining balance of $0 and $9,000, respectively. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, goodwill totaled $170,200.
NOTE 6. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
We recognize revenueProperty and accounts receivable in accordance with SEC staff accounting bulletin, Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition,” which requires persuasive evidence that a sales arrangement exists; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured before revenue is recognized. We assist certain spine injury diagnostic centers where affiliated healthcare providers perform medical services for patients. Healthcare providers are paid a fixed rate for medical services performed. The patients are billed based on Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) codes for the medical procedure performed. CPT codes are numbers assigned to every task and service a medical practitioner may provide to a patient including medical, surgical and diagnostic services. CPT codes are developed, maintained and copyrighted by the American Medical Association. The patients are billed the normal billing amount, based on national averages, for a particular CPT code procedure. We take controlequipment consisted of the patients’ unpaid bills.
Revenue and corresponding accounts receivable are recognized by reference to “net revenue” and “accounts receivable, net” which is defined as gross amounts billed using CPT codes less account discounts that are expected to result when individual cases are ultimately settled. A discount rate of 48% and 52% based on settled patient cases was used to reduce revenue to 52% and 48% of CPT code billings (“gross revenue”) during 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The patients who receive medical servicesfollowing at the diagnostic centers are typically plaintiffs in accident lawsuits. The timing of collection of receivables is dependent on the timing of a settlement or judgment of each individual case associated with these patients. The allowance for doubtful accounts was established to cover any cases where a shortfall may happen and the expected outcome is not what we had previously recorded. Historical experience, through 2014, demonstrated that the collection period for individual cases may extend for two years or more. Accordingly, we have classified receivables as current or long term based on our experience, which indicates that as of December 31, 20152017 and 2014 that 25% of cases will be subject2016:

Additionally, the paperwork should include an assignment of benefits derived from any settlement or judgment of the patient’s case. |
· | The patient's attorney issues the healthcare provider a Letter of Protection designed to guarantee payment for the medical services provided to the patient from proceeds of any settlement or judgment in the accident case. This Letter of Protection also should preclude any case settlement without providing for payment of the patient’s medical bill. |

Appropriate, reasonable, and necessary treatment programs are ordered by the affiliate doctor. |
NOTE 7. DUE TO RELATED PARTIES
As of December 31, 2015, we owed $29,400 to Northshore Orthopedics, Assoc. (“NSO”), a company owned by our Chief Executive Officer. Amounts owed are non-interest bearing, due on demand and do not follow any specific repayment schedule. We used the amounts received to meet our working capital requirements. No amounts were due to related parties as of December 31, 2014.
NOTE 8.6. NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG TERM DEBT
Debentures and third party note payable
In June 2013, we renewed a $50,000, 10% debenture originally due June 30, 2013 to a maturity date of June 30, 2015 in exchange for warrants to purchase 50,000 shares at $0.45 per share. In June 2015, we repaid this debenture based on the stated contractual terms.
In June 2013, we extended the maturity date of a $50,000 third party note originally due March 9, 2015 to a maturity date of March 9, 2017 in exchange for warrants to purchase 50,000 shares at $0.45 per share.
The weighted-average estimated fair value of the 100,000 warrants issued was $0.21 per share using the Black-Sholes pricing model with the following assumptions:
During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, In March 2017 we recorded $0 and $18,445 in interest expense, respectively, related to the amortization of warrants associated with the debenture andrepaid this third party note. note in full based on the stated contractual terms. Associated warrants have also expired and are no longer exercisable.
Convertible and secured notes payable
On June 27, 2012, we issued a $500,000 convertible promissory note bearing interest at 12% per year which was to originally mature on March 27, 2014. This note was extended for one year on February 6, 2014 with the same provisions for quarterly interest payments with the principal due upon maturity as extended, March 27, 2015. As consideration for the extension, we issued an additional 69,445 warrants to purchase our common stock for $0.43 that expire on February 6, 2015. The holder of the note also has the right to convert into common stock, at $1.50 per share, up to 50% of the principal amount after twelve months and up to 100% of the principal amount for the twelve months following the extension date. In December 2014, we paid $200,000 principal on this note with the remaining $300,000 paid in March 2015. The warrants expired unexercised during 2015.
On August 29, 2012, we issued Peter Dalrymple, a director of the Company, a $1,000,000 three-year secured promissory note bearing interest at 12% per year, with thirty-five monthly payments of interest commencing on September 29, 2013, and continuing thereafter on the 29th day of each successive month throughout the term of the promissory note. Under the terms of the secured promissory note, the holder received a detachable warrant to purchase 333,333 shares of our common stock at the price of $1.60 per share that waswere originally to expire on August 29, 2015—see below regarding the extension of this note.2015, however were extended as described below. This promissory note is secured by $3,000,000 in gross accounts receivable. On the maturity date, one balloon payment of the entire outstanding principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest is due.
On August 20, 2014, we entered into a Financing Agreement with Mr. Dalrymple whereby, he agreed to assist us in obtaining financing in the form of a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit (see Line of Credit below) from a commercial lender and provide a personal guaranty of the line of credit. Under the terms of the Financing Agreement, upon finalization of the line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank on September 8, 2014, we (i) extended the term of the $1,000,000 promissory note, discusseddescribed above, by one year to mature on August 29, 2016, (ii) reduced the interest rate on the promissory note to 6%, (iii) extended the expiration date on the warrants issued in connection with the promissory note by one year to an expiration date of August 29, 2016, (iv) granted Mr. Dalrymple 200,000 restricted shares of common stock, and (iv)(v) used $500,000 of advances under the line of credit as payment of principal and interest on the promissory note.
Upon our consideration In August 2016, the note and associated warrants were amended to extend the maturity date to August 29, 2018. As of this change in termsDecember 31, 2017 and 2016, the note had a principal balance of $225,000, and $250,000, respectively. During the $1,000,000 promissory note with Mr. Dalrymple, we determined the terms significantly changed. Based on ASC-470-50-40-10, we determined the discounted cash flows using the original effective interest rate of 24% of the revised cash flows amounted to a change greater than 10% of the carrying amount of the debt. As a result, the transaction was determined to be an extinguishment of debt resulting in the Company recording a loss on debt extinguishment of $56,078 during the yearyears ended December 31, 2014.
Additionally, as consideration for agreeing to extend2017 and 2016 the promissory noteCompany recorded $15,000 and reduce the interest rate, we issued to Mr. Dalrymple 200,000 unvested and restricted shares of common stock that vested upon finalization of the line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank on September 8, 2014
In accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the proceeds received from the convertible note issued$25,000 in June 2012 were allocated between the convertible note and the detachable warrant based on the fair value of the convertible note without the warrant and the warrant. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the warrant was recognized as additional paid-in capital and a debt discount. The debt discount related to the warrant is accreted into interest expense through the maturity of the convertible note. The effective conversion price of the common stock did not exceed the stated conversion rate; therefore, there is no beneficial conversion feature associated with the convertible note. Similarly, the proceeds received from the secured note were allocated between the secured note and the detachable warrant based on the fair value of the secured note without the warrant and the warrant. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the warrant was recognized as additional paid-in capital and a debt discount. The debt discounts related to the warrants are accreted into interest expense over the lives of the notes.
The weighted-average estimated fair value of the 69,445 and 333,333 warrants issued with the convertible and secured notes, respectively, was $0.62 and $0.81 per share, respectively, using the Black-Sholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized the remaining $11,679 of discount on the convertible note and $36,520 of discount on the secured note as interest expense. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2014, the $56,078 of unamortized discount on the secured note at the date of restructuring was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt, as previously discussed. We did not recognize any interest expense related to discounts for the year ended December 31, 2015.this note.
Line of Credit

NOTE 10.8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We have an agreement with NSO,Northshore Orthopedics, Assoc. (“NSO”), which is 100% owned by our Chief Executive Officer, William Donovan, M.D., to provide medical services as our independent contractor. As of December 31, 20152017 and 2014,2016, we had balances payable to NSO of $29,400$27,910 and $0, respectively. This outstanding payable is non-interest bearing, due on demand and does not follow any specific repayment schedule. We do not directly pay Dr. Donovan (in his individual capacity as a physician) any fees in connection with NSO. However, Dr. Donovan is the sole owner of NSO, and we pay NSO under the terms of our agreement.
As further described in Note 8,7, during 2012 we borrowed $1,000,000 from Peter Dalrymple, a director of the Company, under a secured promissory note. The outstanding balance of the note was $500,000$225,000 and $250,000 at both December 31, 20152017 and 2014.2016, respectively.
See also Item 13 “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
NOTE 11.9. INCOME TAXES
We have not made provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 20142017 or 2013,2016, since we have net operating loss carryforwards to offset current taxable income.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Reform Act was signed into law. The legislation significantly changes U.S. tax law by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate, effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the decrease in the corporate income tax rate, we revalued our ending net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2017, but did not recognize any incremental income tax expense in 2017 due to the revaluation of the valuation allowance.
On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. We have provisionally recognized the incremental tax impacts related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and our reassessment of uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances and included these amounts in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional technical analysis including changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made with respect to the Tax Act. The accounting is expected to be complete by the fourth quarter of 2018.
Deferred tax assets consist of the following at December 31:
| | 2015 | | 2014 | | | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Benefit from net operating loss carryforwards | | | | | | | | | $ | 1,998,057 | | | $ | 3,089,339 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Allowance for doubtful accounts | | | | | | | | 22,353 | | | | 325,782 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Less: valuation allowance | | | | | | | | | | | (2,020,410 | ) | | | (3,415,121 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
Due to uncertainties surrounding our ability to generate future taxable income to realize these assets, a full valuation has been established to offset the net deferred income tax asset. Based on management’s assessment, utilizing an effective combined tax rate for federal and state taxes of approximately 34%, we have determined that it is not currently more likely than not that we will realize our deferred income tax assets of approximately $2,988,563$2,020,410 and $2,632,426$3,415,121 attributable predominantly to the future utilization of the approximate $8,294,000$9,621,000 and $7,400,000$9,486,000 in eligible net operating loss carryforwards, and the allowance for doubtful accounts, as of December 31, 20152017 and December 31, 2014,2016, respectively. We will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in varying amounts from year 2018 to 2035.
2036.
Current income tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, amounts available to offset future taxable income may be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Following is a reconciliation of the (provision) benefit for federal income taxes as reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, to the expected amount at the 34% federal statutory rate:
| | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
| | | | | | |
Income tax benefit at the 34% statutory rate | | | | | | | | |

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
William Donovan, M.D., our President and Chief Executive Officer, is our principal executive officer and John Bergeron, our Chief Financial Officer, is our principal financial officer.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2015.2017. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| (i) | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
| (ii) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements; and |
| (iii) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized transactions. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework and Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015.2017. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2015,2017, we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 20152017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. 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. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management’s override of the control. The design of any systems of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about 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. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Individual persons perform multiple tasks which normally would be allocated to separate persons and therefore extra diligence must be exercised during the period these tasks are combined.

Compensation Policies and Practices as they Relate to Risk Management
We attempt to make our compensation programs discretionary, balanced and focused on the long term.

Our approach to compensation practices and policies applicable to employees and consultants is consistent with that followed for its executives. Based on these factors, we believe that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
