Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Bioptix, Inc. (the "Company,"  "we," or "Bioptix") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position at March 31, 2017 and for all periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote data necessary for fair presentation of financial position and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is therefore suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily an indication of operating results for the full year.

Management's plans and basis of presentation:

The Company has experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations.  At March 31, 2017, the Company had approximate balances of cash and cash equivalents of $11,982,000, working capital of $11,466,000, total stockholders' equity of $11,406,000 and an accumulated deficit of $114,209,000. To date, the Company has in large part relied on equity financing to fund its operations.
Effective January 14, 2017, the Company adopted a plan to exit the business of BiOptix Diagnostics, Inc. ("BDI") and commenced a significant reduction in the workforce. The decision to adopt this plan was made following an evaluation by the Company's Board of Directors in January 2017, of the estimated results of operations projected during the near to mid-term period for BDI, including consideration of product development required and updated sales forecasts, and estimated additional cash resources required. Accordingly, the historical results of BDI have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The Company expects to continue to incur losses from operations for the near-term and these losses could be significant as professional and other associated expenses in connection with possible strategic considerations, evaluations and transactions, additional costs associated with the exit of operations of the Company's subsidiary BDI may be incurred, and public company and administrative related expenses are incurred. The Company believes that its current working capital position will be sufficient to meet its currently estimated cash needs through May 2018, subject to any possible strategic transactions. The Company continues to explore obtaining additional financing.  The Company is closely monitoring its cash balances, cash needs and expense levels.
Management's strategic plans include the following:
•
exploring other possible strategic options and financing opportunities available to the Company;
•
evaluating options to monetize, partner or license the Company's assets, including the appendicitis product portfolio; and;
•
continuing to implement cost control initiatives to conserve cash.

Note 1.  Significant accounting policies:

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Bioptix and its wholly-owned subsidiary, BDI. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. From time to time, the Company's cash account balances exceed the balances as covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance System. The Company has never suffered a loss due to such excess balances.



6


The Company invests excess cash from time to time in highly-liquid debt and equity investments of highly-rated entities, which are classified as trading securities. Historically, the purpose of the investments has been to fund research and development, product development, FDA clearance-related activities and general corporate purposes. Such amounts are recorded at market values using Level 1 inputs in determining fair value and are generally classified as current, as the Company does not intend to hold the investments beyond twelve months. Investment securities classified as trading are those securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term, with the objective of preserving principal and generating profits. These securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as an element of other (expense) income in current period earnings. The Company's Board of Directors has approved an investment policy covering the investment parameters to be followed with the primary goals being the safety of principal amounts and maintaining liquidity. The policy provides for minimum investment rating requirements as well as limitations on investment duration and concentrations. Based upon market conditions, the investment guidelines have been tightened to increase the minimum acceptable investment ratings required for investments and shorten the maximum investment term. As of March 31, 2017, 100% of the investment portfolio was in cash and cash equivalents, which is presented as such on the accompanying balance sheet.  To date, the Company's cumulative realized market loss from the investments has not been significant. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, there was approximately $4,400 and $5,900, respectively, in management fee expenses.
The Company's short-term investments comprise certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate bonds, all of which are classified as trading securities and carried at their fair value based upon quoted market prices of the securities at December 31, 2016.  Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in net loss.  For purposes of determining realized gains and losses, the cost of securities sold is based on specific identification.
The composition of trading securities is as follows at December 31, 2016:

Fair value of financial instruments:

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements .  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

Level 1— quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 — assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company's market assumptions.  Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.  In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Such determination requires significant management judgment. There were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value, with the exception of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments (other than cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as discussed above) approximate fair value because of their variable interest rates and/or short maturities combined with the recent historical interest rate levels.

Revenue Recognition:

Revenue recognition related to the license agreement is based upon the licensee's right to use the technology and the Company's ongoing obligations to maintain and defend the patented rights and comply with the terms of the sub-license agreement whereby the license fees and milestone payments received from the agreement, net of the amounts due to third parties, have been recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized over the term of the license agreement.

Inventories:
Inventories acquired as part of the BDI purchase are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The elements of cost in inventories include materials, labor and overhead.

Goodwill:
The Company performs a goodwill impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of each year, or whenever there is an indication of impairment.  When conducting its annual goodwill impairment assessment, the Company initially performs a qualitative evaluation to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test.  The Company has determined, based on its evaluation, that the goodwill associated with the BDI acquisition was impaired and was written off as of March 31, 2017. The accumulated goodwill amortization of $60,712 arose prior to January 1, 2002 when the FASB revised the policy for goodwill amortization.

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements:
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company's financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its consolidated financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company's consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2041-09"), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard's core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates a five-step model to achieve its core principle: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction's price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition, entities must disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about: (i) the entity's contracts with customers; (ii) the significant judgments, and changes in judgments, made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and (iii) any assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard allows entities to apply the standard retrospectively to each prior period presented ("full retrospective adoption") or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application ("modified retrospective adoption"). The Company plans to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018, and continues to evaluate the impact of adopting under the modified retrospective adoption versus the full retrospective method. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of the new revenue recognition guidance on its revenue transactions, including any impacts on associated processes, systems, and internal controls. The Company's preliminary assessment indicates implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on financial results. The Company's evaluation has included determining whether the unit of account (i.e., performance obligations) will change as compared to current GAAP, as well as determining the standalone selling price of each performance obligation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this guidance and its subsequent amendments on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and any preliminary assessments are subject to change.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . ASU No. 2016-01 supersedes and amends the guidance to classify equity securities with readily determinable fair values into different categories (that is, trading or available-for-sale) and require equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendments allow equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values to be re-measured at fair value either upon the occurrence of an observable price change or upon identification of an impairment. The amendments also require enhanced disclosures about those investments. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within the year of adoption, and calls for prospective application. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting ASU 2016-01.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires a lessee to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases in the balance sheet. Qualitative along with specific quantitative disclosures are required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that will result from adopting ASU 2016-02.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"), which amends guidance issued in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted as of January 1, 2017. The principal impact was that to the extent a tax benefit or expense from stock compensation arises it will be presented in the income tax line of the Statement of Operations rather than the current presentation as a component of equity on the Balance Sheet. Also the tax benefit or expense will be presented as activity in Cash Flow from Operating Activity rather than the current presentation as Cash Flow from Financing Activity in the Statement of Cash Flows. The Company continues to estimate forfeitures of stock grants as allowed by ASU 2016-09.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This standard provides guidance for eight cash flow classification issues in current GAAP. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that will result from adopting ASU 2016-02.
In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business . The amendments in this Update is to clarify 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 assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) : Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and is required to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Income (loss) per share:

ASC 260, Earnings Per Share , requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Basic net earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the Company's earnings (loss).  The effect of the inclusion of the dilutive shares would have resulted in a decrease in loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the effect of inclusion of the dilutive shares would have resulted in an increase in income per share, under the treasury stock method.  Accordingly, the weighted average shares outstanding have not been adjusted for dilutive shares for any period presented.  Outstanding stock options, warrants and other dilutive rights are not considered in the calculation, as the impact of the potential common shares (totaling approximately 1,588,000 shares and 757,000 shares for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively) would be anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2017 the dilutive rights held in escrow from the March 2017 private placement totaling approximately 4,802,000 share rights (3,802,000 share rights from the convertible notes financing and 1,000,000 share rights from the common stock offering) are also not considered in the calculation, as the impact would be anti-dilutive.

Note 2. Acquisition and Discontinued Operations:
Acquisition:
On September 12, 2016, the Company completed the strategic acquisition of BDI, a privately-held entity. The decision to acquire BDI was made based on the evaluation that the Company's resources would primarily be used for market development and commercial launch of the product and the market opportunity was estimated to be sizable.  Pursuant to a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), through a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Venaxis Sub"), the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock of BDI from the selling shareholders (the "Seller"), representing more than 98% of the outstanding voting stock of BDI, and BDI thereupon become a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the consideration consisted of an aggregate of 627,010 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares") which Shares were distributed in accordance with the liquidation preferences set forth in BDI's Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.  The Shares were valued at approximately $2,577,000 (based upon the closing value of our common stock on the acquisition date) and the issuance represented approximately 14% of the outstanding Bioptix common stock at the closing. The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations and warranties of the parties, including BDI, and the Sellers have customary indemnification obligations to the Company relating to BDI, which are subject to certain limitations described further in the Purchase Agreement. The issuance of the Shares was effected as a private placement of securities.  The Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Sellers.
The total consideration transferred consisted of the 627,010 shares of the Company's common stock with a value of $2,577,000.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated purchase consideration was allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Following was the allocation of the purchase consideration:

As of November 30, 2016, the Company paid approximately $29,000 to acquire the non-controlling interest in BDI, which was accounted for as an equity transaction.
The unaudited supplemental pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as if the BDI acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2016, would have reflected total revenue of $55,000, net loss of $399,000 and loss per share of $0.09. These pro forma condensed consolidated financial results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments to reflect the pro forma results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented, such as increased amortization for the fair value of acquired intangible assets. The pro forma information does not reflect the effect of costs or synergies that would have been expected to result from the integration of the acquisition. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the combination occurred at the beginning of each period presented, or of future results of the consolidated entities.
As of December 31, 2016 inventories, included with current assets of discontinued operations, totaled approximately $416,000, consisting of $188,000 in raw materials and $228,000 in finished goods, all associated with the BDI operations. As of March 31, 2017 inventories, included with current assets of discontinued operations, totaled approximately $49,000, consisting of finished goods.
Discontinued operations:
During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company made the decision to discontinue the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary BDI. BDI had developed a proprietary Enhanced Surface Plasmon Resonance technology platform for the detection of molecular interactions. The decision to adopt this plan was made following an evaluation by the Company's Board of Directors in January 2017 of the estimated results of operations projected during the near to mid-term period for BDI, including consideration of product development required and updated sales forecasts, and estimated additional cash resources required. The Company expects to dispose of the assets and operations during 2017 by selling the assets and licensing the intellectual property rights.   The Company has recognized the exit of BDI in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-20, Discontinued Operations . As such, the historical results of BDI, following its 2016 acquisition, have been classified as discontinued operations.
11
The Company's historical financial statements have been revised to present the operating results of the BDI business as a discontinued operation. Assets and liabilities related to the discontinued operations of BDI are approximately as follows as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

The Company capitalizes legal costs and filing fees associated with obtaining patents on its new discoveries. Once the patents have been issued, the Company amortizes these costs over the shorter of the legal life of the patent or its estimated economic life using the straight-line method. Based upon the current status of the above intangible assets, the aggregate amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $71,000 for each of the next five fiscal years. The Company tests intangible assets with finite lives for impairment upon significant changes in the Company's business environment. The testing resulted in no patent impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The impairment charges are related to the Company's ongoing analysis of which specific country patents in its portfolio are determined as potentially worth pursuing.

Mortgage notes:

Prior to the February 2016 sale of the corporate headquarters, the Company had a permanent mortgage on its land and building that was refinanced in May 2013. The mortgage was held by a commercial bank and included a portion guaranteed by the U. S. Small Business Administration ("SBA").  The loan was collateralized by the real property and the SBA portion was also personally guaranteed by a former officer of the Company. The commercial bank loan terms included a payment schedule based on a fifteen year amortization, with a balloon maturity at five years. The commercial bank portion had an interest rate fixed at 3.95%, and the SBA portion bore interest at the rate of 5.86%. The commercial bank portion of the loan required total monthly payments of approximately $11,700, which included approximately $4,500 per month in interest. The SBA portion of the loan required total monthly payments of approximately $9,000 through July 2023, which included approximately $3,500 per month in interest and fees in 2016.

On February 25, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its corporate headquarters, land and building, and also paid off its mortgage obligations.  See Note 3.

Future maturities:

The Company's total debt obligations require minimum annual principal payments of approximately $56,000 for the remainder of 2017, through the terms of the applicable debt agreements.

Note 6. Stockholders' equity:

Restricted common stock award:
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company approved the award of 165,000 restricted shares to members of its Board of Directors, of which 6,042 common shares were vested as of March 31, 2017 (see Note 7).
Private placement offerings:
In March 2017, the Company completed private placements totaling $7,000,000. Included was a common stock unit financing for $2,250,000 with certain accredited investors. The common stock unit offering totalled 900,000 units, consisted of 400,000 units for $1,000,000 less $294,026 of offering expenses, has been released to the respective parties, with the balance of 500,000 units for $1,250,000 held in escrow pending completion of release conditions.  The common stock offering sold units (the "Units") at a purchase price of $2.50 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's common stock and a three-year warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. The Company also closed on a convertible note financing with certain accredited investors with gross proceeds totaling $4,750,000. The convertible note financing proceeds are in escrow pending successful completion of release conditions.  Following release from escrow, the notes shall be convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.50 per share. Warrants to purchase 1,900,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an initial exercise price of $3.56 per share were also issued with the convertible note financing. Pursuant to the terms of the convertible note purchase agreements, the Company has agreed to file a proxy to hold a special meeting of its shareholders to among other provisions, approve the terms of the offering and authorize preferred stock, all as specified in the agreements.
The portion of the common stock unit financing held in escrow and the convertible note financing, held in escrow, have been reflected in the consolidated balance sheet at the face amount of the securities issued and held in escrow less the cash received for those securities, which is also held in escrow.   When the release conditions have been met, the cash, common stock units and convertible notes will be reflected gross at their carrying amounts, net of any discounts.
In addition, since the warrants given with the common stock unit and convertible note financings are also held in escrow pending the release conditions, their issuance is contingent upon satisfaction of release conditions, as defined in the agreements.  Accordingly, they will be valued and financing proceeds will be allocated to them at the time the contingency is resolved.  Any beneficial conversion feature resulting from the allocation of proceeds among the convertible notes and warrants will also be recorded at that time.
The convertible notes accrue interest at 2% per annum commencing with their execution and as a result, the Company has recorded approximately $3,900 in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and accrued interest of approximately $3,900 is included in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017.
15
The Company has evaluated the guidance ASC 480-10 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40 Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity to determine the appropriate classification of the instruments.
In connection with the private placements, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, with the investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the securities and to maintain its effectiveness until all such securities have been sold or may be sold without restriction. In the event a registration statement covering such shares of common stock is not effective, the Company is required to pay to the investors on a monthly basis an amount equal to 1% of the investors' investment, subject to conditions as defined in the agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company granted 165,000 restricted shares to members of its Board of Directors. Upon the resignation of a Director, 20,000 shares were subsequently forfeited. The weighted-average fair value of restricted shares granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $3.13 per share based upon the share price as of the date of grant. The total fair value of restricted stock granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was approximately $516,000.
The value of restricted stock grants are measured based on their fair value on the date of grant and amortized over the vesting period of twenty-four months. As of March 31, 2017, there was approximately $423,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 1.9 years.

Stock options:

The Company currently provides stock-based compensation to employees, directors and consultants, both under the Company's 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), and non-qualified options and warrants issued outside of the Plan. During November, 2016, the Company's shareholders approved amendments to the Plan to increase the number of shares reserved under the Plan from 709,141 to 895,000 . The Company estimates the fair value of the share-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (the "Black-Scholes model").  Using the Black-Scholes model, the value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized over the requisite service period in the statement of operations.  Option forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  The Company attributes compensation to expense using the straight-line single option method for all options granted.

The Company's determination of the estimated fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant is affected by the following variables and assumptions:

·
Grant date exercise price – the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant;
·
Estimated option term – based on historical experience with existing option holders;
·
Estimated dividend rates – based on historical and anticipated dividends over the life of the option;
·
Term of the option – based on historical experience, grants have lives of approximately 3-5 years;
·
Risk-free interest rates – with maturities that approximate the expected life of the options granted;
·
Calculated stock price volatility – calculated over the expected life of the options granted, which is calculated based on the daily closing price of the Company's common stock over a period equal to the expected term of the option; and
·
Option exercise behaviors – based on actual and projected employee stock option exercises and forfeitures.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, no options were exercised.

Stock incentive plan options:

The Company currently provides stock-based compensation to employees, directors and consultants under the Plan. The Company did not grant any stock-based compensation to employees, directors or consultants for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 or 2016.

At March 31, 2017, based upon employee, officer, director and consultant options granted under the Plan to that point, there was approximately $45,000 of additional unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that will be recorded over a weighted average future period of one year.

Other common stock purchase options and warrants:

As of March 31, 2017, in addition to the Plan options discussed above, the Company had outstanding 897,003 non-qualified options and warrants in connection with warrants issued with offerings, an officer's employment, and options issued to six new employees, hired in connection with the Company's acquisition of BDI that were not issued under the Plan.

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 no options were granted outside of the Plan.  Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 included $38,806 related to stock-based compensation and the three months ended March 31, 2016 did not include any value related to stock-based compensation of non-qualified options and warrants.

In March 2017, the Company completed a $1 million private placement of securities and in connection with that offering, granted investors in the offering warrants which are classified as equity, exercisable after six-months, to purchase a total of 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share and expiring in May 2020 (see Note 6).

Note 8.  Animal Health License Agreements:

Effective May 1, 2004, Washington University in St. Louis ("WU") and Bioptix entered into an Exclusive License Agreement ("WU License Agreement"), which grants Bioptix exclusive license and right to sublicense WU's technology (as defined under the WU License Agreement) for veterinary products worldwide, except where such products are prohibited under U.S. laws for export. The term of the WU License Agreement continues until the expiration of the last of WU's patents (as defined in the WU License Agreement) expire.  Bioptix has agreed to pay minimum annual royalties of $20,000 during the term of the WU License Agreement and such amounts are creditable against future royalties.  Royalties payable to WU under the WU License Agreement for covered product sales by Bioptix carry a mid-single digit royalty rate and for sublicense fees received by Bioptix carry a low double-digit royalty rate.  The WU License Agreement contains customary terms for confidentiality, prosecution and infringement provisions for licensed patents, publication rights, indemnification and insurance coverage.  The WU License Agreement is cancelable by Bioptix with ninety days advance notice at any time and by WU with sixty days advance notice if Bioptix materially breaches the WU License Agreement and fails to cure such breach.

In July 2012, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the "License Agreement") with Ceva Santé Animale S.A. ("Licensee"), pursuant to which the Company granted the Licensee an exclusive royalty-bearing license, until December 31, 2028, to the Company's intellectual property and other assets, including patent rights and know-how, relating to recombinant single chain reproductive hormone technology for use in non-human mammals (the "Company's Animal Health Assets"). The License Agreement is subject to termination by the Licensee (a) for convenience on 180 days prior written notice, (b) in the Licensee's discretion in the event of a sale or other disposal of the Company's animal health assets, (c) in the Licensee's discretion upon a change in control of the Company, (d) for a material breach of the License Agreement by the Company, or (e) in the Licensee's discretion, if the Company becomes insolvent.  The License Agreement is also terminable by the Company if there is a material breach of the License Agreement by the Licensee, or if the Licensee challenges the Company's ownership of designated intellectual property.  The License Agreement includes a sublicense of the technology licensed to the Company by WU. Under the terms of the WU License Agreement, a portion of license fees and royalties Bioptix receives from sublicensing agreements will be paid to WU. The obligation for such license fees due to WU is included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2017.

Under the License Agreement, the Licensee obtained a worldwide exclusive license to develop, seek regulatory approval for and offer to sell, market, distribute, import and export luteinizing hormone ("LH") and/or follicle-stimulating hormone ("FSH") products for bovine (cattle), equine and swine in the field of the assistance and facilitation of reproduction in bovine, equine and swine animals.

Under the License Agreement, as of March 31, 2017, the following future milestone payments are provided, assuming future milestones are successfully achieved:

•
Milestone payments, totaling up to a potential of $1.1 million in the aggregate, based on the satisfactory conclusion of milestones as defined in the License Agreement;
•
Potential for milestone payments of up to an additional $2 million for development and receipt of regulatory approval for additional licensed products; and
•
Royalties, at low double digit rates, based on sales of licensed products.

Revenue recognition related to the License Agreement and WU License Agreement is based primarily on the Company's consideration of ASC 808-10-45, " Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements. "  For financial reporting purposes, the license fees and milestone payments received from the License Agreement, net of the amounts due to third parties, including WU, have been recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized over the term of the License Agreement.  License fees and milestone revenue currently totaling a net of approximately $1,556,000 commenced being amortized into income upon the July 2012 date of milestone achievement. As of March 31, 2017, deferred revenue of $96,698 has been classified as a current liability and $1,041,141 has been classified as a long-term liability. The current liability represents the next twelve months' portion of the amortizable milestone revenue. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, $24,175 was recorded as the amortized license fee revenue arising from the Ceva License Agreement.

Note 9.  Commitments and contingencies:

Commitments:
The Company's subsidiary, BDI, has a lease commitment on its office and laboratory space that expires March 31, 2018 and requires future non-cancellable lease payments of approximately $233,000 for the remainder of 2017 and $78,000 in 2018.  The agreement requires monthly base rent of approximately $15,700 and common area maintenance costs are currently approximately $10,200 per month. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 totaled approximately $87,000 which included short term facility rental expenses plus $80,000 in expense for the subsidiary's office and laboratory space. The Company had no rent expense for the three months ended 2016. Subsequent to March 31, 2017, an agreement with the subsidiary's landlord was reached to terminate the lease with a prepayment of rent through July 31, 2017 and surrender of the $37,000 lease deposit.
As of March 31, 2017, the Company has employment agreements with three officers providing aggregate annual minimum commitments totaling approximately $900,000.  The agreements contain customary confidentiality and benefit provisions.
Contingencies:

In the ordinary course of business and in the general industry in which the Company is engaged, it is not atypical to periodically receive a third party communication which may be in the form of a notice, threat, or "cease and desist" letter concerning certain activities.  For example, this can occur in the context of the Company's pursuit of intellectual property rights.  This can also occur in the context of operations such as the using, making, having made, selling, and offering to sell products and services, and in other contexts.  The Company makes rational assessments of each situation on a case-by-case basis as such may arise.  The Company periodically evaluates its options for trademark positions and considers a full spectrum of alternatives for trademark protection and product branding.

We are currently not a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which would, in our management's opinion, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management's plans and basis of presentation:

The Company has experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations.  At March 31, 2017, the Company had approximate balances of cash and cash equivalents of $11,982,000, working capital of $11,466,000, total stockholders' equity of $11,406,000 and an accumulated deficit of $114,209,000. To date, the Company has in large part relied on equity financing to fund its operations. The Company expects to continue to incur losses from operations for the near-term and these losses could be significant as we incur costs and expenses associated with the exit of the BDI operations and public company and administrative related expenses are incurred. The Company believes that its current working capital position will be sufficient to meet its estimated cash needs for at least a year and a day from this filing.  The Company is closely monitoring its cash balances, cash needs and expense levels.
Effective January 14, 2017, we adopted a plan to exit the business of BDI and commenced a significant reduction in the workforce. The decision to adopt this plan was made following an evaluation by the Company's Board of Directors in January 2017, of the estimated results of operations projected during the near to mid-term period for BDI, including consideration of product development required and updated sales forecasts, and estimated additional cash resources required.  We are reviewing possible strategic alternatives relative to the business to maximize shareholder value.
Management's strategic plans include the following:
•
exploring other possible strategic options and financing opportunities available to the Company;
•
evaluating options to monetize, partner or license the Company's assets, including appendicitis product portfolio; and;
•
continuing to implement cost control initiatives to conserve cash.
NASDAQ listing:

On April 10, 2017, the Company was notified by The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC of its failure to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 (the "Rule") which requires that the Company's audit committee be comprised of at least three independent directors , as defined under the Rule. The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market and, at this time, the common stock will continue to trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "BIOP".
Results of Operations

Comparative Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, $24,000 in each period, of license payments under the License Agreement was recognized as revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2017 totaled $1,035,000, which is approximately $5,000, or 0.5%, increase as compared to the 2016 period. Stock based compensation increased by approximately $85,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the 2016 period due to additional rights being granted.  Compensation related expense increased by $108,000 due primarily to retention bonuses. Accounting and auditing fees increased by approximately $95,000 in connection with a change in auditors. A decrease of approximately $295,000 in strategic evaluation expenses in 2017 as compared to the 2016 period, was due to the termination in late 2016 of the strategic evaluation process.  Commercialization, marketing and compensation related expenses decreased by approximately $42,000 in the 2017 period as the Company finished winding down APPY 1 commercialization activities in 2016. A decrease of approximately $63,000 in general operating expenses in 2017 following the sale of the facility in early 2016.

Research and development expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2017 totaled $18,000, which is approximately a $355,000, or 95%, decrease as compared to the 2016 period. This decrease resulted from the wind down activities of development and manufacturing activities from our previous area of focus, the APPY 1 Test, in 2016.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017, decreased to $5,000 compared to $26,000 in the 2016 period due to the payoff of mortgage debt obligations with the sale of the building in early 2016.  For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded investment income of approximately $26,000 compared to investment income of $44,000 in the 2016 period, generally due to lower average invested balances.

On February 25, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its corporate headquarters, land, building and certain fixtures and equipment to a third party at a purchase price of $4,053,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $1,919,000 and generated approximately $1,749,000 in net cash after expenses and mortgage payoffs. The Company is leasing back space in the building under short term lease agreements that provide office and storage space required for its current level of operations.

No income tax benefit was recorded on the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, as management was unable to determine that it was more likely than not that such benefit would be realized.
21


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2017, we had working capital of $11,466,000, which included cash and cash equivalents of $11,982,000.  We reported a net loss of $4,354,000, consisting of a net loss from continuing operations of $1,007,000 and a net loss from discontinued operations of $3,347,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2017.  The net loss from continuing operations included $129,000 in non-cash items consisting of stock-based compensation totaling $133,000, depreciation, amortization and non-cash charges totaling $20,000, net of amortization of license fees totaling $24,000.

In March 2017 we entered into private placement agreements, under which we received gross proceeds before offering expenses of $1,000,000 from the sale of 400,000 shares of common stock, including the issuance of 400,000 warrants. An additional $1,250,000 in proceeds from the common stock offering is held in escrow which may be released pending satisfaction of escrow conditions, which are outside the control of the Company.

In March 2017, the Company also closed on a convertible note financing with certain accredited investors with gross proceeds totaling $4,750,000. The convertible note financing proceeds are in escrow pending successful completion of release conditions.

We expect to continue to incur losses from operations for the near-term and these losses could be significant as we incur costs and expenses associated with the exit of the BDI operations and public company and administrative related expenses are incurred. We believe that our current working capital position will be sufficient to meet our estimated cash needs for at least a year and a day from this filing. We may pursue potential additional financing opportunities.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.   We are closely monitoring our cash balances, cash needs and expense levels. The accompanying 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 might result in our possible inability to continue as a going concern.

In July 2012, we entered into an exclusive license agreement (the "License Agreement") with Ceva Santé Animale S.A. ("Licensee"), pursuant to which we granted the Licensee an exclusive royalty-bearing license, until December 31, 2028, to our intellectual property and other assets, including patent rights and know-how, relating to recombinant single chain reproductive hormone technology for use in non-human mammals (the "Company's Animal Health Assets"). The License Agreement is subject to termination by the Licensee (a) for convenience on 180 days prior written notice, (b) in the Licensee's discretion in the event of a sale or other disposal of the Company's Animal Health Assets, (c) in the Licensee's discretion upon a change in control of the Company, (d) for a material breach of the License Agreement by us, or (e) in the Licensee's discretion, if we become insolvent.  The License Agreement is also terminable by us if there is a material breach of the License Agreement by the Licensee, or if the Licensee challenges our ownership of designated intellectual property. The License Agreement includes a sublicense of the technology licensed to the Company by Washington University in St. Louis ("WU"). Under the terms of an exclusive license agreement ("WU License Agreement"), a portion of license fees and royalties we receive from sublicensing agreements will be paid to WU. The obligation for such license fees due to WU is included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2017.

Under the License Agreement, as of March 31, 2017, the following future milestone payments are provided, assuming future milestones are successfully achieved:

•
Milestone payments, totaling up to a potential of $1.1 million in the aggregate, based on the satisfactory conclusion of milestones as defined in the License Agreement;
•
Potential for milestone payments of up to an additional $2 million for development and receipt of regulatory approval for additional licensed products; and
•
Royalties, at low double digit rates, based on sales of licensed products.

The Company periodically enters into generally short-term consulting agreements, which at this time are primarily for assistance with our strategic evaluations.  Such commitments at any point in time may be significant but the agreements typically contain cancellation provisions.
22

Prior to the February 2016 sale of its corporate headquarters, the Company had a permanent mortgage on its land and building that was refinanced in May 2013. The mortgage was held by a commercial bank and included a portion guaranteed by the U. S. Small Business Administration ("SBA"). The loan was collateralized by the real property and the SBA portion was also personally guaranteed by a former officer of the Company. The commercial bank loan terms included a payment schedule based on a fifteen year amortization, with a balloon maturity at five years. The commercial bank portion had an interest rate fixed at 3.95%, and the SBA portion bore interest at the rate of 5.86%. The commercial bank portion of the loan required total monthly payments of approximately $11,700, which included approximately $4,500 per month in interest. The SBA portion of the loan required total monthly payments of approximately $9,000 through July 2023, which included approximately $3,500 per month in interest and fees in 2016.

On February 25, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its corporate headquarters, land, building and certain fixtures and equipment to a third party at a purchase price of $4,053,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $1,919,000 and generated approximately $1,749,000 in net cash after expenses and mortgage payoffs. The Company is leasing back space in the building under a short-term lease agreement that provide storage space.

Due to recent market events that have adversely affected all industries and the economy as a whole, management has placed increased emphasis on monitoring the risks associated with the current environment, particularly the investment parameters of the short-term investments, the recoverability of current assets, the fair value of assets, and the Company's liquidity. At this point in time, there has not been a material impact on the Company's assets and liquidity. Management will continue to monitor the risks associated with the current environment and their impact on the Company's results.

Operating Activities

Net cash consumed by operating activities was $1,664,000, consisting of $1,002,000 from continuing operations and $662,000 from discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Cash was consumed from continuing operations by the loss of $1,007,000, less non-cash items of $129,000 consisting of stock-based compensation totaling $133,000, depreciation, amortization and non-cash charges totaling $20,000, net of amortization of license fees totaling $24,000. Increases in prepaid and other current assets of $63,000 used cash, primarily related to routine changes in operating activities.  There was a net $190,000 decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to the payment of 2016 litigation settlement in early 2017.

Net cash consumed by operating activities was $1,903,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Cash was generated by a net income of $560,000, less non-cash expenses of $201,000 for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of patent costs, offset by the gain on sale of property and equipment of $1,919,000 and amortization of license fees totaling $24,000. Decreases in prepaid and other current assets of $69,000 provided cash, primarily related to routine changes in operating activities.  There was a $789,000 decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily due to the payment of 2015 accrued incentives in early 2016, and a reduction in overall expenses due to the wind down of activities for our previous area of focus, the APPY 1 Test.

Investing Activities

Net cash inflows from investing activities provided cash of $7,493,000, consisting of $7,495,000 from continuing operations and a cash outflow of $2,000 from discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Sales of marketable securities investments totaling approximately $7,507,000 provided cash.  A $12,000 use of cash was attributable to additional costs incurred from patent filings.

Net cash inflows from investing activities provided $3,849,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Sales of marketable securities investments totaling approximately $9,649,000 provided cash net of marketable securities purchased totaling approximately $7,538,000.  An $11,000 use of cash was attributable to additional costs incurred from patent filings.  The sale of the land, building and assets generated approximately $1,749,000 in cash.

Financing Activities

Net cash inflows from financing activities provided $623,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 consisting of $706,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants net of $83,000 in scheduled payments under debt agreements.

Net cash outflows from financing activities consumed $117,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 in scheduled payments under debt agreements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates associated with revenue recognition, impairment analysis of intangibles and stock-based compensation.
23

The Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows are impacted by the accounting policies the Company has adopted. In order to get a full understanding of the Company's financial statements, one must have a clear understanding of the accounting policies employed. A summary of the Company's critical accounting policies follows:

Investments : The Company invests excess cash from time to time in highly liquid debt and equity securities of highly rated entities which are classified as trading securities. Such amounts are recorded at market and are generally classified as current, as the Company does not intend to hold the investments beyond twelve months. Such excess funds are invested under the Company's investment policy but an unexpected decline or loss could have an adverse and material effect on the carrying value, recoverability or investment returns of such investments. Our Board has approved an investment policy covering the investment parameters to be followed with the primary goals being the safety of principal amounts and maintaining liquidity of the fund. The policy provides for minimum investment rating requirements as well as limitations on investment duration and concentrations.

Intangible Assets : Intangible assets primarily represent legal costs and filings associated with obtaining patents on the Company's new discoveries.  The Company amortizes these costs over the shorter of the legal life of the patent or its estimated economic life using the straight-line method.  The Company tests intangible assets with finite lives upon significant changes in the Company's business environment. The testing resulted in no patent impairment charges written off during the three month period ended March 31, 2017 and $134,000 net patent impairment charges written off during the three months ended March 31, 2016..

Long-Lived Assets : The Company records property and equipment at cost. Depreciation of the assets is recorded on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Dispositions of property and equipment are recorded in the period of disposition and any resulting gains or losses are charged to income or expense when the disposal occurs. The Company reviews for impairment whenever there is an indication of impairment.

Revenue Recognition : The Company's revenues are recognized when products are shipped or delivered to unaffiliated customers. The Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104 provides guidance on the application of GAAP to select revenue recognition issues. The Company has concluded that its revenue recognition policy is appropriate and in accordance with SAB No. 104. Revenue is recognized under sales, license and distribution agreements only after the following criteria are met: (i) there exists adequate evidence of the transactions; (ii) delivery of goods has occurred or services have been rendered; and (iii) the price is not contingent on future activity; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Stock-based Compensation : ASC 718, Share-Based Payment , defines the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans and transactions used by the Company to account for its issuances of equity instruments to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value as well as to acquire goods or services from non-employees. Transactions in which the Company issues stock-based compensation to employees, directors and consultants and for goods or services received from non-employees are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The Company utilizes pricing models in determining the fair values of options and warrants issued as stock-based compensation. These pricing models utilize the market price of the Company's common stock and the exercise price of the option or warrant, as well as time value and volatility factors underlying the positions.

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements :

The Company has evaluated all recently issued accounting pronouncements and believes such pronouncements do not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General

We have limited exposure to market risks from instruments that may impact the Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, and Statements of Cash Flows. Such exposure is due primarily to changing interest rates.

Interest Rates

The primary objective for our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. This is accomplished by investing excess cash in highly liquid debt and equity investments of highly rated entities which are classified as trading securities.  As of March 31, 2017, 100% of the investment portfolio was in cash and cash equivalents with very short-term maturities and therefore not subject to any significant interest rate fluctuations. We have no investments denominated in foreign currencies and therefore our investments are not subject to foreign currency exchange risk.
