SPINE INJURY SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Spine Injury Solutions Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 4, 1998.  We changed our name from Spine Pain Management Inc. to Spine Injury Solutions, Inc. on October 1, 2015.

We are a technology, marketing, management, billing, and collection company facilitating 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 for necessary and appropriate treatment of musculo-skeletal spine injuries resulting from automobile and work-related accidents.  Our goal is to become a leader in providing management services to spine and orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers to facilitate proper treatment of their injured clients.  By pre-funding the providers accounts receivable, which includes diagnostic testing and non-invasive surgical care, patients are not unnecessarily delayed or prevented from obtaining needed treatment.  By facilitating early treatment through affiliated doctors, we believe that health conditions can be prevented from escalating and injured victims can be quickly placed on the road to recovery.  Through our affiliate system, we facilitate spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers to provide reasonable, necessary, and appropriate treatments to patients with musculo-skeletal spine injuries. We assist the centers that provide the spine diagnostic injections and treatment and pay the doctors a fee for the medical procedures they performed. After a patient is billed for the procedures performed by the affiliated doctor, we take control of the patients’ unpaid bill and oversee collection. In most instances, the patient 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 pays the patient’s bill upon settlement or final judgment of the accident case. The payment to us is made through the attorney of the patient. In most cases, we must agree to the settlement price 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.

We currently are affiliated with three spine injury diagnostic centers in the United States, which are located in Houston, Texas; Odessa, Texas; and Tyler, Texas. An affiliation with a center in Lubbock, Texas was added in 2017, but the Lubbock center is presently referring all its patients to the Odessa affiliate for treatment.  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 open additional diagnostic centers in new market areas that are attractive under our business model, assuming adequate funds are available.

We own a patented device and process by which a video recording system is attached to a fluoroscopic x-ray machine, the “four camera technology,” which we have refined through research and development, resulting in a fully commercialized Quad Video Halo System 3.0.  Using this technology, diagnostic and treatment procedures are recorded from four separate video feeds that capture views from both inside and outside the body, and a video is made which is given to the patient’s representative to verify the treatment received.  We believe the Quad Video Halo (“QVH”) can attract additional physicians and patients and provide us with additional revenue streams using our new programs designed to assist in treatment documentation.   Additionally, we anticipate independent medical representatives will sell QVH units to new hospitals and clinics.

In September 2014, we created a wholly owned subsidiary, Quad Video Halo, Inc.  The purpose of this entity is to hold certain company assets in connection with the QVH units.  
 
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 $2,343,271 to $17,347,969 as of September 30, 2017. We plan to increase our operating expenses as we increase our service development, marketing efforts and brand building activities. We also plan to increase our general and administrative functions to support our growing operations. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve our business plan. 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 obtain additional capital from borrowing and selling securities, as needed, to fund our operations. There is no assurance that additional capital can be obtained or that it can be obtained on terms that are favorable to us and our existing stockholders.  Any expectation of future profitability is dependent upon our ability to expand and develop our healthcare services business, of which there can be no assurances.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3.  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following are summarized accounting policies considered to be critical by our management:
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Nevertheless, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2016 Annual Report as filed on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position with respect to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the results of its operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2017, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spine Injury Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Quad Video Halo, Inc. All material intercompany balances of transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Accounting Method
 
Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of 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 condensed consolidated 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 condensed 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 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 4).
SPINE INJURY SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable, as reflected in the condensed 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 these 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are classified as finished-goods and consist of our Quad Video Halo units.

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.

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. The goodwill amount is tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired, but at least annually.  Impairment occurs when the original amount of goodwill exceeds the value of the expected future net cash flows from the business acquired.  As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no impairment to the asset was determined to have occurred.
 
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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no impairment of the long-lived assets was determined to have occurred.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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. 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, we have established an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $551,359 and $958,185, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized compensation expense for issuances of our common stock in exchange for services of $10,900 and $85,500, respectively.

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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized no estimated interest or penalties as income tax expense.

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.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” for all periods presented. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, common stock equivalents from outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible debt have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted earnings (loss) per share in the statements of operations, because all such securities were anti-dilutive.  The earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the 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 reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2014-09 on our revenue recognition and have not yet determined the method with which we will adopt the standard in 2018.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception 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 asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under ASU No. 2016-02, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 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 No. 2016-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and 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 May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 have initiated the accumulation of our customer contracts in order to gather data for the purpose of assisting management to determine the effect of ASU No. 2016-12 on our revenue recognition and have not yet determined the effect of ASU No. 2016-12 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and, instead, requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, ASU No. 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early application permitted in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments of ASU No. 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 have initiated the accumulation of our customer contracts in order to gather data for the purpose of assisting management to determine the effect of ASU No. 2016-20 on our revenue recognition and have not yet determined the effect of ASU No. 2016-20 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

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 and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this update relate to the impairment test performed annually or interim.  The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a 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 reporting 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 qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The amendments of ASU No. 2017-04 should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Management is currently evaluating the future impact of ASU No. 2017-04 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in this update provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718.  ASU No. 2017-09 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim periods of public business entities within reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued.  The amendments of ASU No. 2017-09 should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Management is currently evaluating the future impact of ASU No. 2017-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

NOTE 4.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

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. We manage certain spine injury diagnostic centers where independent healthcare providers perform medical services for patients. We pay the healthcare providers 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. Patients are billed at the normal billing amount, based on national averages, for a particular CPT code procedure. We take control 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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The patients who receive medical services 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.  Historical experience, through 2016, 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 30% of cases will be subject to a settlement or judgment within one year of a medical procedure.

NOTE 5.  DUE TO RELATED PARTIES

We have an agreement with NSO, which is 100% owned by our Chief Executive Officer, William Donovan, M.D., to provide medical services as our independent contractor at the Houston and Odessa spine injury diagnostic centers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we expensed $421,260 and $429,620 related to services provided by NSO. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had balances payable to NSO of $10,396 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.  

NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

In January 2017, we issued 10,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for services, valued at $0.21 per share. In May 2017, we issued 10,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for services, valued at $0.30 per share. In September 2017 we issued 20,000 shares of common stock to our new Chief Operating Officer as part of his compensation, valued at $0.29 per share. A total of $5,800 and $10,900 was recognized as compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we issued an aggregate 300,000 shares of common stock, valued at $0.30 per share, in connection with a financing agreement with a director of the Company for his assistance in obtaining a line of credit. The 300,000 shares issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, includes 100,000 shares that vested during the fourth quarter of 2015. Accordingly, the associated expense of $30,000 was expensed during 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we expensed the remaining $60,000 related to the financing agreement pursuant to the agreement’s vesting schedule, which is included in operating, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

See Note 3 of the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which note is incorporated herein by reference.

Management Overview

See the description of the business in Note 1 of the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which note is incorporated herein by reference.

We continue to further refine and market our Quad Video Halo. We recorded revenue from the  sale of one QVH during the third quarter of 2017.

We entered into a Letter Agreement with Jeffrey A. Cronk, D.C., to serve as our Chief Operating Officer, which became effective on September 5, 2017, under which we agreed to compensate Dr. Cronk $5,000 per month as well as grant him 20,000 restricted shares of common stock immediately and, for the next 12 quarters, grant him 40,000 restricted shares of common stock at the end of each quarter if he achieves certain objectives established by the Board of Directors.

Results of Operations

The unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2017 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or of the entire year ending December 31, 2017.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 as included in our previously filed report on Form 10-K.
As noted earlier in the description of the business in Note 1 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we own a video recording system known as the Quad Video Halo System 3.0.  We have expended funds in this quarter for further development and marketing of this system.  We sold one QVH unit in the third quarter for $43,287 with a cost of $15,092 which is included in the third party cost of sales.

Comparison of the three month period ended September 30, 2017 with the three month period ended September 30, 2016.

We recorded $876,774 in gross revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017, offset by $311,572 of the expected settlement discount resulting in net revenue of $565,202. We recorded $782,276 in gross revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2016, offset by $323,318 of the expected settlement discount resulting in net revenue of $458,958.     For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we worked with three spine injury diagnostic centers: Houston, Texas; Tyler, Texas and Odessa, Texas. The Lubbock affiliate has been referring patients to the Odessa affiliate for treatment. Service cost was $165,350  (which included $15,092 for the cost of the QVH sold) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $146,314 for the same period in 2016. The increase in service cost is attributable to the higher case volume in Houston and Odessa, reduced revenue of the Tyler affiliate, and the inclusion of the QVH.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred $378,063 of operating, general and administrative expenses compared to $459,126 for the same period in 2016. The decrease is due mainly lower payroll costs of $35,000, marketing costs of $23,000, legal fees of $9,000, and travel expense of $14,000. There was research and development costs of $0 during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $18,862 in 2016.

As a result of the foregoing, we had a net income of $7,589 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to a net loss of $178,401 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Comparison of the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 with the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

We recorded $2,438,988 in gross revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, offset by $946,559 of the expected settlement discount resulting in net revenue of $1,492,429.  For the same period in 2016, gross revenue was $2,837,823, offset by $1,176,817 of the settlement discount, resulting in net revenue of $1,661,006.  Revenue was affected negatively in 2017 by the reduced revenue of the Tyler, Texas affiliate due to case volume, coupled with the loss of the San Antonio affiliate in the first quarter of 2016.

Service cost was $462,737 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $559,413 for the same period in 2016.  The decrease in service cost is attributable to lower case volume in Houston and Tyler coupled with the loss of the San Antonio affiliate.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred $1,177,558 of operating, general and administrative expenses compared with the $1,240,058 for the same period in 2016. The decrease is due mainly to lower bad debt expense of $13,000, payroll costs of $24,000, marketing costs of $24,000, legal fees of $31,000, travel expense of $23,000, coupled with an increase of consulting costs of $56,000 and other expense decreases netting out to $3,000.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred $12,203 of research and development expenses compared with the $38,709 for the same period in 2016.  

As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of $197,329 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to a net loss of $217,229 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash used in operations was $86,991 which primarily included increases in accounts receivable of $76,421 and increases in prepaid expenses of $9,250, related party payables of $10,395 and accounts payable of $16,456.  For the same period in 2016, cash provided in operations was $26,492, which primarily included a net loss of $217,229, a decrease in accounts receivable of $61,093, an increase in inventories of $88,053, an increase in prepaid expenses of $9,250, a decrease in accounts payable of $18,303, and a decrease in due to related party of $13,427.

We have cash used in investing activities of $3,614 and $0 for the nine months ended September 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, resulting from the purchase of certain equipment for the QVH units.

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 consisted of repayments on our notes payable in the amount of $50,000 and $250,000, respectively, and net draws on our line of credit of $25,000 and $180,000, respectively.

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 $2,343,271 to $17,347,969 as of September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we realized net revenue of $1,492,429 and net loss of $197,329. Successful business operations and our transition to positive cash flows from operations are dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a level of collections adequate to support our cost structure. Considering the nature of our 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 September 30, 2018.  The company is seeking to increase revenue from services and obtain additional capital from borrowings and selling securities as needed to fund our operations. 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.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Such officers have concluded (based upon their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report) that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have also indicated that, upon evaluation, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or other factors during the period covered by this report 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 our disclosure controls or our 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 override of the control. The design of any system of controls also 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. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, one should carefully consider the discussion of various risks and uncertainties contained in Part I, Item 1A,  “Risk Factors” in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  We believe the risk factors presented in this filing and those presented on our 2016 Form 10-K are the most relevant to our business and could cause our results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made by us.  

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In September 2017, we issued 20,000 shares of common stock to our new Chief Operating Officer.  The securities were issued under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  The issuance of securities did not involve a “public offering” based upon the following factors: (i) the issuance of securities was an isolated private transaction; (ii) a limited number of securities were issued to a single purchaser; (iii) there were no public solicitations; (iv) the investment intent of the purchaser; and (v) the restriction on transferability of the securities issued.

6.3   Governing Law . This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bank and Borrower hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
CREDIT TERMS

SECTION 1.1     LINE OF CREDIT.

(a)   Line of Credit . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to time up to and including August 31, 2018, not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of One Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,750,000.00) (“Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which shall be used to provide the company with short-term working capital. Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by an Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note dated as of August 17, 2017 (“Line of Credit Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

(b)   Borrowing and Repayment .  Borrower may from time to time during the term of the Line of Credit borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained herein or in the Line of Credit Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit shall not at any time exceed the maximum principal amount available  thereunder, as set forth above.

SECTION 1.2     INTEREST/FEES.

(a)  Interest . The outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit shall bear interest at the rate of interest set forth in the Line of Credit Note.
 
(b) Computation and P ayment. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed. unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year, as the case may be, actual days elapsed.

1483256/Page 1



4.1   Value Requirements . The Margin Value of the Collateral shall at all times exceed the outstanding balance of Indebtedness. Whenever applicable, the credit limits of Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board (12 U.S.C. § 221 et seq) shall also be satisfied as prescribed therein. Collateral satisfying value requirements in this Agreement cannot also satisfy other value requirements in favor of Bank, if any.

4.2   Maintenance of Value . Whenever value requirements in this Agreement are not met Debtor shall, within three (3) business days, take all remedial action necessary to restore the required value. Remedial action may include the following in any combination or amount (a) delivery of additional Collateral acceptable to Bank; (b) substitution of assets providing little or no support to value requirements for assets providing greater support; (c) payoff of the Indebtedness (or if applicable, reduction thereof); or (d) conversion of assets to cash. Bank has no duty to act to: (a) prevent any decline in market value of Collateral or Proceeds; (b) preserve any Debtor rights against prior parties relating to Collateral or Proceeds; or (c) assure that Proceeds of any Collateral are deposited into interest bearing account(s).

4.3   Breach of Value Requirements . Bank is not obligated to permit an advance when value requirements are not met or if permitted would not then be met. Failure to timely meet value requirements is an Event of Default, and allows Bank, in its sole option, to accelerate the Indebtedness and exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement.

4.4   Excess Collateral . Unless an Event of Default occurs, Collateral in excess of the value requirements is available for withdrawal at Debtor’s request to Bank, free and clear of its lien. Debtor will provide reasonable time, information and cooperation for Debtor withdrawal requests. No Intermediary is authorized to release Collateral, or allow excess Collateral withdrawals, without written consent of an authorized employee of Bank’s applicable credit department.

4.5   Trading of Collateral Permitted . Unless an Event of Default occurs, and provided all value requirements would continue to be met, Debtor, or any party authorized by Debtor to act with respect to the Collateral, may receive payments of interest and/or cash dividends earned on the Collateral in the Securities Account, and may trade Collateral in the Securities Account. Except as provided in this Agreement, Bank is not obligated to permit any withdrawal or distribution of Collateral or Proceeds.

4.6   Rule 144/145 Collateral . For so long as any of the Collateral may be subject to Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 144 or Rule 145, Debtor will not sell or otherwise transfer shares of securities of the issuer of such Collateral (whether or not such shares are Collateral) without Bank’s prior written consent, which consent shall be given in Bank’s sole discretion.

4.7   Hedge Fund Collateral . Hedge fund interests credited, maintained or recorded in the Securities Account (each and collectively a “Hedge Fund”) are Collateral under this Agreement even if the issuer’s books and records may not reflect Bank’s lien and even if Bank has not agreed the Hedge Fund contributes to value requirements in this Agreement.

4.8   Determination of Value; Collateral Eligibility; Definitions . Collateral subject to assignment, pledge or similar consent requirements of a third party is not eligible to satisfy value requirements in this Agreement until the required consent is furnished to Bank in writing. In addition, the following definitions apply for all purposes in determining Debtor’s satisfaction of the value requirements:

“Brokered Certificates of Deposit ” or “ Brokered CD’s ” means an FDIC-insured certificate of deposit of any financial institution other than Wells Fargo Bank, NA obtained from or through the mediation or assistance of Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, or the Investment & Financial Services Group of Wells Fargo Bank and held in the Securities Account.

Commercial Paper ” means fixed rate debt instruments of domestic corporations rated A2 or higher by Standard & Poor’s and Prime 2 or higher by Moody’s. Floating rate commercial paper and commercial paper of non- US corporations are not included in this definition.

Corporate Bonds ” means bonds of domestic corporations which are not convertible to equity and which are rated BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s and Baa3 or higher by Moody’s. Bonds of non-US corporations are not
 
1483256/Page 2

included in this definition. “Short Term” Corporate Bonds are those with 5 years or less remaining until date of maturity; all others are “Longer Term”. “Convertible Corporate Bonds” are Corporate Bonds convertible to equity securities of the issuer and which are rated A or higher by Standard & Poor’s.

Equities means: (a) common stock of domestic corporations and, except in the case of Small and Micro Cap Equities, American depository receipts (“ADR’s”), which, as to all of the foregoing, have a value greater than or equal to $10.00 per share, trade on an NSE, and have done so for at least one year after initial settlement of the public offering of the securities; and (b) preferred stock of domestic corporations (or their affiliated trusts or entities) so long as the common stock of the issuers qualify as “Equities” (and despite that the preferred stock would not qualify as “Equities” due to market capitalization or initial public offering date). Equity securities of value less than $10.00 per share, newly issued, trading on OTC, Pink Sheets or regional exchanges only, unregistered, unlisted or de-listed, or not publicly traded entities, and put or call options, rights or warrants, managed futures, auction rate preferred stock, and exchange funds, hedge funds, and other private equity or investment groups are not included in this definition. Qualifying restricted and control securities are included in this definition, but only to the extent such securities can be converted to cash by Bank in three days or less in accordance with SEC Rules 144 or 145 should an Event of Default occur. “Large Cap” Equities are those of an issuer having a market capitalization greater than $10 billion; “Mid Cap” are those with a market capitalization greater than $2 billion but no more than $10 billion; “Small Cap” are those with a market capitalization greater than $1 billion but no more than $2 billion; and “Micro Cap” are those with a market capitalization greater than $250 million but no more than $1 billion.

ETF investment objective distinctions, as well as the factors that will exclude ETF’s from eligibility in this definition, are identical to those applied for Mutual Funds.

Fair Market Value ” or “ FMV ” means, as to any Collateral that is uncertificated, the per share or per unit closing sale price quoted  or reported at the close of the immediately preceding business day  in the Securities Account, and, as to any Collateral that is certificated, the per share or per unit closing sale price quoted or reported at the close of the immediately preceding business day were such share or unit held in uncertificated form in a securities account at Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC (or, in either case if not available, such other customary publication of securities closing sale prices as Bank may reasonably elect to reference) multiplied by the number of shares or units of like Collateral. The aggregate FMV of the Collateral is the total of all such FMVs so determined plus the amount of cash Collateral. If FMV cannot be determined by the foregoing procedure, then FMV shall be determined by the Bank, in its sole discretion, by reference to the notional amount of such assets or to public information and procedures that may otherwise then be available. All cash and other value references are to currency denominated in dollars of the United States of America.

2.   Payment .  Payment of any sums due to the Holder under the terms of this Promissory Note shall be made in United States Dollars by check or wire transfer at the option of the Company.  Payment shall be made at the address last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time.  If any payment hereunder would otherwise become due and payable on a day on which banks are closed or permitted to be closed in Houston, Texas, such payment shall become due and payable on the next succeeding day on which banks are open and not permitted to be closed in Houston, Texas (“ Business Day ”).  The forwarding of such funds shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal and/or interest hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal and interest on this Promissory Note to the extent of the sum represented by such payment.

3.   Representations and Warranties of the Company .  The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that:

(a)   Organization .  The Company is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite power to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.

(b)   Power and Authority .   The Company has the requisite power to execute, deliver and perform this Promissory Note, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  The execution and delivery of this Promissory Note by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.  This Promissory Note has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except (i) that such enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and (ii) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief are subject to certain

equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought.

4.   Events of Defaults and Remedies .  Each of the following is deemed to be an event of default (“ Event of Default ”) hereunder: (i) the failure by the Company to pay any installment of interest on the Promissory Note as and when due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for 15 days, (ii) the failure by the Company to pay all or any part of the principal on the Promissory Note when and as the same becomes due and payable, as set forth above, and the continuance of any such failure for 15 days, (iii) the failure by the Company to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the Promissory Note and the continuance of such failure for a period of 30 days after written notice is given to the Company by the Holder, (iv) the assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors, or an application by the Company to any tribunal for the appointment of a trustee or receiver of a substantial part of the assets of the Company, or the commencement of any proceedings relating to the Company under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debts, dissolution or other liquidation law of any jurisdiction; or the filing of such application, or the commencement of any such proceedings against the Company and an indication of consent by the Company to such proceedings, or the appointment of such trustee or receiver, or an adjudication of the Company bankrupt or insolvent, or approval of the petition in any such proceedings, and such order remains in effect for 60 days; or (v) a default in the payment of principal or interest when due which extends beyond any stated period of grace applicable thereto or an acceleration for any other reason of maturity of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $2,000,000 and (vi) final unsatisfied judgments not covered by insurance aggregating in excess of $2,000,000, at any one time rendered against the Company and not stayed, bonded or discharged within 75 days.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (v) above with respect to the Company), then in every such case, unless the Principal Amount of the Promissory Note shall have already become due and payable, the Holder of the Promissory Note then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (an “Acceleration Notice”), may declare all principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable immediately.  If an Event of Default specified in clause (v) above occurs with respect to the Company, all principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be immediately due and payable on the Promissory Note without any declaration or other act on the part of the Holder.  The Holder may rescind such acceleration if the existing Event of Default has been cured or waived.

5.   Default Interest .  The Company agrees that if the Company defaults in the payment of any payment required hereunder, whether payment of Principal Amount or interest, the Company promises to pay, on demand, interest on any such unpaid amounts, from the date the payment is due to the date of actual payment, at the rate (the “ Default Rate ”) of the lesser of (i) 12% per annum; and (ii) the maximum nonusurious rate permitted by applicable law.
6.   Limitation on Merger, Sale or Consolidation .  The Company may not, directly or indirectly, consolidate with or merge into another person or sell, lease, convey or transfer all or substantially all of its assets (computed on a consolidated basis), whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, to another person or group of affiliated persons, unless either (a) in the
Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note – Page 3

case of a merger or consolidation, the Company is the surviving entity or (b) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is a corporation or limited liability company organized under the laws of any state of the United States and expressly assumes by supplemental agreement all of the obligations of the Company in connection with the Promissory Note.

Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with the foregoing, the successor corporation or limited liability company formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer is made, shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the Promissory Note with the same effect as if such successor corporation or limited liability company had been named therein as the Company, and the Company will be released from its obligations under the Promissory Note, except as to any obligations that arise from or as a result of such transaction.

7.   No Personal Liability of Shareholders, Officers, Directors .  No recourse shall be had for the payment of the Principal Amount or the interest on this Promissory Note, or for any claim based thereon, or otherwise in respect thereof, or based on or in respect of any Promissory Note supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, or director (past, present, or future) of the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute, or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being by the acceptance hereof, and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

8.   Listing of Registered Holder of Promissory Note .  This Promissory Note will be registered as to principal in the Holder’s name on the books of the Company at its principal office in Houston, Texas, after which no transfer hereof shall be valid unless made on the Company’s books at the office of the Company, by the Holder hereof, in person, or by attorney duly authorized in writing, and similarly noted hereon.

9.   Holder of Promissory Note Not Deemed a Stockholder No Holder, in his capacity as Holder of this Promissory Note shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Promissory Note be construed to confer upon the Holder hereof, in his capacity as Holder, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise.

10.   Waiver of Demand, Presentment, Etc .   The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereunder, regardless of and without any notice, diligence, act or omission as or with respect to the collection of any amount called for hereunder.

11.   Attorney’s Fees .   The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including
Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note – Page 4

without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, which may be incurred by the Holder in collecting any amount due under this Promissory Note as described herein.

12.   Enforceability .   In case any provision of this Promissory Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Promissory Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

13.   Intent to Comply with Usury Laws .   In no event will the interest to be paid on this Promissory Note exceed the maximum rate provided by law.  It is the intent of the parties to comply fully with the usury laws of the State of Texas; accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Promissory Note, in no event shall such Promissory Note require the payment or permit the collection of interest (which term, for purposes hereof, shall include any amount which, under Texas law, is deemed to be interest, whether or not such amount is characterized by the parties as interest) in excess of the maximum amount permitted by the laws of the State of Texas.  If any excess of interest is unintentionally contracted for, charged or received under this Promissory Note, or in the event the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by the Promissory Note is accelerated in whole or in part, or in the event that all of part of the Principal Amount or interest of this Promissory Note shall be prepaid, so that the amount of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Promissory Note, on the amount of the Principal Amount actually outstanding from time to time under this Promissory Note shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by the applicable usury laws, then in any such event (i) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (ii) neither the Company nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment thereof, shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by such applicable usury laws, (iii) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal amount thereof or refunded to the Company at the Holder’s option, and (iv) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate of interest allowed under the applicable usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof.  It is further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under the Promissory Note which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful rate of interest, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Promissory Note evidenced thereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from the Company or otherwise by the Holders in connection with this Promissory Note.

14.   Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Promissory Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.  Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the Promissory Note (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state or federal courts sitting in Harris County, Texas (the “ Harris County
Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note – Page 5

15.   Amendment and Waiver .  Any waiver or amendment hereto shall be in writing signed by the Holder.  No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other rights.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

16.   Restrictions Against Transfer or Assignment .  This Promissory Note may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the registered Holder hereof, in whole or in part, unless and until either (i) the Promissory Note (or the underlying shares herein) have been duly and effectively registered for resale under the Act and under any then applicable state securities laws; or (ii) the registered Holder delivers to the Company a written opinion acceptable to its counsel that an exemption from such registration requirements is then available with respect to any such proposed sale or disposition.  The Company has the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to approve or disapprove such transfer.  Any transfer otherwise permissible hereunder shall be made only at the principle office of the Company upon surrender of this Promissory Note for cancellation and upon the payment of any transfer tax or other government charge connected therewith, and upon any such transfer a new Promissory Note or Promissory Notes will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.  The transferee of this Promissory Note shall be bound by the provisions of this Promissory Note.  The register of the transfer of this Promissory Note shall occur upon the delivery of this Promissory Note, endorsed by the registered Holder or his duly authorized attorney, signature guaranteed, to the Company or its transfer agent.  Each Promissory Note instrument issued upon the transfer of this Promissory Note shall have the restrictive legend contained herein conspicuously imprinted on it.

17.   Lost or Mutilated Promissory Note .  If this Promissory Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Promissory Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Promissory Note, a new Promissory Note for the principal amount of this Promissory Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Promissory Note, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Company and if requested by the Company, indemnity also reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

18.   Entire Agreement; Headings .  This Promissory Note constitutes the entire agreement between the Holder and the Company pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations and understandings, written or oral, of such parties.  The headings are for reference purposes only and shall not be used in construing or interpreting this Promissory Note.

Amended Security Agreement – Page 2


3.   All information about Debtor’s financial condition is or will be accurate when provided to Secured Party.

4.   Each account and chattel paper in the Collateral is and will be the valid, legally enforceable obligation of a third-party account debtor or obligor.

C.   Debtor agrees not to-

1.   Sell, transfer, or encumber any of the Collateral, except in the ordinary course of Debtor’s business.

2.   Change its name or jurisdiction of organization, merge or consolidate with any person, or convert to a different entity without notifying Secured Party in advance and taking action to continue the perfected status of the security interest in the Collateral.

3.   Change the state in which Debtor’s place of business (or chief executive office if Debtor has more than one place of business) is located, change its name, or convert to a different entity without notifying Secured Party in advance and taking action to continue the perfected status of the security interest in the Collateral.

D.   Default and Remedies

1.   A default exists if -

a.   Debtor fails to timely pay or perform any obligation or covenant in any written agreement between Secured Party and Debtor;

b.   any warranty, covenant, or representation in this agreement or in any other written agreement between Secured Party and Debtor is materially false when made;

c.   a receiver is appointed for Debtor or any Collateral;

d.   any Collateral is assigned for the benefit of creditors;

e.   a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is commenced by Debtor;

g.   Debtor is dissolved, begins to wind up its affairs, is authorized to dissolve or wind up its affairs by its governing body or persons, or any event occurs or condition exists that permits the dissolution or winding up of the affairs of Debtor; or

h.   any Collateral is impaired by loss, theft, damage, levy and execution, issuance of an official writ or order of seizure, or destruction, unless it is promptly replaced with collateral of like kind and quality or restored to its former condition.

2.   If a default exists that is not cured, Secured Party may -
Amended Security Agreement – Page 4


a.   demand, collect, convert, redeem, settle, compromise, receipt for, realize on, sue for, and adjust the Collateral either in Secured Party’s or Debtor’s name, as Secured Party desires, or take control of any proceeds of the Collateral and apply the proceeds against the Obligation;

b.   take possession of any Collateral not already in Secured Party’s possession, without demand or legal process, and for that purpose Debtor grants Secured Party the right to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located;

c.   without taking possession, sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral at any public or private sale in accordance with the law;

d.   exercise any rights and remedies granted by law or this agreement;

e.   notify obligors on the Collateral to pay Secured Party directly and enforce Debtor’s rights against such obligors; and

f.   as Debtor’s agent, make any endorsements in Debtor’s name and on Debtor’s behalf.

3.   Foreclosure of this security interest by suit does not limit Secured Party’s remedies, including the right to sell the Collateral under the terms of this agreement. Secured Party may exercise all remedies at the same or different times, and no remedy is a defense to any other. Secured Party’s rights and remedies include all those granted by law and those specified in this agreement.

4.   Secured Party’s delay in exercising, partial exercise of, or failure to exercise any of its remedies or rights does not waive Secured Party’s rights to subsequently exercise those remedies or rights. Secured Party’s waiver of any default does not waive any other default by Debtor. Secured Party’s waiver of any right in this agreement or of any default is binding only if it is in writing. Secured Party may remedy any default without waiving it.

5.   Secured Party has no obligation to prepare the Collateral for sale.

6.   Secured Party has no obligation to collect any of the Collateral and is not liable for failure to collect any of the Collateral, for failure to preserve any rights pertaining to the Collateral, or for any act or omission on the part of Secured Party or Secured Party’s officers, agents, or employees, except willful misconduct.

7.   Secured Party has no obligation to satisfy the Obligation by attempting to collect the Obligation from any other person liable for it.  Secured Party may release, modify, or waive any collateral provided by any other person to secure any of the Obligation.  If Secured Party attempts to collect the Obligation from any other person liable for it or releases, modifies, or waives any collateral provided by any other person, that will not affect Secured Party’s rights against Debtor. 
Amended Security Agreement – Page 5

Debtor waives any right Debtor may have to require Secured Party to pursue any third person for any of the Obligation.

8.   If Secured Party must comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of a sale of the Collateral.

9.   Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like.  This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of a sale of the Collateral.

10.   If Secured Party sells any of the Collateral on credit, Debtor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by Secured Party for application to the indebtedness of the purchaser.  If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Debtor will be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

11.   If Secured Party purchases any of the Collateral being sold, Secured Party may pay for the Collateral by crediting the purchase price against the Obligation.

12.   Secured Party has no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Debtor or against or in payment of the Note, or any other obligation owed to Secured Party by Debtor or any other person.

13.   If the Collateral is sold after default, recitals in the bill of sale or transfer will be prima facie evidence of their truth and all prerequisites to the sale specified by this agreement and by law will be presumed satisfied.

E.   General

1.   Notice is reasonable if it is mailed, postage prepaid, to Debtor at Debtor’s Mailing Address at least ten days before any public sale or ten days before the time when the Collateral may be otherwise disposed of without further notice to Debtor.

2.   This security interest will neither affect nor be affected by any other security for any of the Obligation. Neither extensions of any of the Obligation nor releases of any of the Collateral will affect the priority or validity of this security interest.

3.   This agreement binds, benefits, and may be enforced by the successors in interest of Secured Party and will bind all persons who become bound as debtors to this agreement.  Assignment of any part of the Obligation and Secured Party’s delivery of any part of the Collateral will fully discharge Secured Party from responsibility for that part of the Collateral.  If such an assignment is made, Debtor will render performance under this agreement to the assignee.  Debtor waives and will not assert against any assignee any claims, defenses, or setoffs that Debtor could assert against Secured Party except defenses that cannot be waived.  All representations, warranties,
Amended Security Agreement – Page 6

and obligations are joint and several as to each Debtor.

4.   This agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by Secured Party and Debtor.

5.   The unenforceability of any provision of this agreement will not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision.

6.   This agreement will be construed according to Texas law, without regard to choice-of-law rules in any jurisdiction. This agreement is to be performed in Harris County, the county of Debtor’s Mailing Address.

7.   Interest on the Obligation secured by this agreement will not exceed the maximum amount of nonusurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received under law. Any interest in excess of that maximum amount will be credited on the principal of the Obligation or, if that has been paid, refunded. On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment, any such excess will be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or, if already paid, credited on the principal of the Obligation or, if the principal of the Obligation has been paid, refunded. This provision overrides any conflicting provisions in this and all other instruments concerning the Obligation.

8.   When the context requires, singular nouns and pronouns include the plural.

9.   Any term defined in sections 1.101 to 11.108 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code and not defined in this agreement has the meaning given to the term in the Code.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Security Agreement as of September 8, 2017.
