GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred losses of $1,653,427 and $6,535,360 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively and $2,013,088 and $6,738,030 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Cash used in operating activities was $5,736,967 and $4,873,947 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company needs to raise additional capital in order to expand its business objectives. The Company funded its operations primarily through private placement offerings of equity for net proceeds of $5,643,884 and $5,881,452 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued promissory notes for proceeds of $0 and $325,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, $150,000 and $1,047,868, respectively, of cash proceeds from financing were used to repay debt. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company received $49,959 of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. The Company presently has only enough cash on hand to sustain its operations until December 2015. Historically, the Company has been successful in raising funds to support its capital needs. Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful and notwithstanding any request the Company may make, the Company’s debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, the Company may need to curtail its operations and implement a plan to extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. Such a plan could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations, liquidate and/or seek reorganization in bankruptcy. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
