NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1.

Basis of Presentation, Going Concern and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

For further information, refer to Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated’s (the “Company”) financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. However, because of the Company's net losses, the effect of outstanding stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive and, accordingly, is excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. The number of such shares excluded from the computation of loss per share were 4,613,482, and 6,539,788 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Stock Compensation

The Company adopted FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method of adoption which requires us to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005, recognizing the amortized grant date fair value in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 718 on straight line basis over the service periods of each award. We have estimated forfeiture rates based on our historical experience. Stock option compensation expense for the periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 have been recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Financial Statements.

Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with FASB ASC 718 and FASB ASC 505 Equity, including related amendments and interpretations. The related expense is recognized over the period the services are provided.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Production costs, consisting of labor and overhead, are applied to ending inventories at a rate based on estimated production capacity and any excess production costs are charged to cost of products sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers when products that do not require further services or installation by the Company are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and when collectability is reasonably assured in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, as amended and interpreted. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as deferred revenue. Sales are made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return and other limited product and performance warranties for which provision has been made in the accompanying condensed financial statements.

Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in net sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold.

Product Warranty Costs

As required by FASB ASC 460, Guarantor’s Guarantees, the Company is including the following disclosure applicable to its product warranties.

The Company accrues for warranty costs based on the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty replacement products. The methodology used in determining the liability for warranty cost is based upon historical information and experience. The Company's warranty reserve is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed financial statements and is calculated as the gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate. As of September 30, 2014, there was no change to the reserve for warranty liability as the reserve balance was deemed sufficient to absorb any warranty costs that might be incurred from the sales activity for the period.

The following table shows the changes in the aggregate product warranty liability for the nine-months ended September 30, 2014:

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The update gives entities a single comprehensive model to use in reporting information about the amount and timing of revenue resulting from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The proposed ASU, which would apply to any entity that enters into contracts to provide goods or services, would supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, the update would supersede some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The update removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements and provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues and more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. In addition, the update improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities.


Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. As of September 30, 2014, we have adopted the provisions of this ASU.

Going Concern

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained losses since inception and used net cash in operations of $539,787 during the nine-months ended September 30, 2014. As a result, the Company has had to rely principally on stockholder loans to fund its activities to date.

These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from two stockholders led the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Liggett, Vogt & Webb, P.A., to include a statement in its audit report relating to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 expressing substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ITEM 2.

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


Overview


Puradyn, which has been in business for over 25 years, and designs, manufactures, and sells the Puradyn® System, a high-efficiency bypass oil filtration system and replacement filter elements. We generate revenues through the initial sale of the bypass oil filtration systems and through the sale of the replacement filter elements. We purchase component parts for unit housing and filter elements and the component parts are assembled, packed and shipped from our facility in Boynton Beach, Florida.


Sales of the Company’s products depend principally upon acceptance and demand by end-user customers and OEMs. We primarily focus our sales strategy on the development of individual end user relationships, along with building distributor sales efforts to continue expansion of a nationwide distribution network that will not only sell but also install and support our product. We currently have approximately 100 active distributors in the U.S. and internationally. This distribution network is comprised of direct distributors with signed agreements as well as dealers associated with OEMs.


We also focus our sales and marketing efforts to target industries open to innovative methods to reduce oil maintenance operating costs and overhaul cycles. These industries are also searching for new and progressive technologies to optimize their equipment use, including bypass oil filtration. While this is a long-term and ongoing process, we believe we have achieved a degree of product acceptance based on the expansion of existing strategic relationships with key accounts such as those that support sales and service at Nabors Industries, Inc., and with John Deere dealers.


Our net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 increased 47% and 44%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2013. These increases are attributable to sustained increased activity from a number of our larger accounts at the beginning of the third quarter of 2014. We believe that industry acceptance will continue to grow in the remainder of fiscal 2014 based in part upon our progress this year. However, there can be no assurance that any of our sales efforts or strategic relationships will meet management’s expectations or result in an increase in our revenues.


In October 2014, we released two new additions to our line of bypass filtration products:


·

Millennium Technology System (MTS), which operates within a closed lubricating system, removing, as do all the Puradyn products, solid contaminant down to below one micron while safely extending the equipment oil's useful life. However, the MTS technology eliminates the legacy TF and PFT models’ electric evaporation plate, bringing the product into compliance with all new emission standards specified by Tier 4 engines. The MTS also offers the added benefits of reduced mechanical complexity and a smaller profile for a simpler, faster, and lower cost installation. The MTS can be used on all engine types and configurations using any fuel type, including natural gas and biofuels.


·

Polydry, patented replacement filter element, specifically designed for use with the MTS. Polydry incorporates polymer-based technology formulated specifically to remove water contamination occurring naturally through condensation and the combustion process of engine oil and hydraulic systems.


Going Concern


The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on the basis that it will operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses each year since inception and has relied on the sale of its stock from time to time and loans from third parties and from related parties to fund its operations.



12



 


These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from a current stockholder have led the Company’s management to conclude there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe the critical accounting policies in Note 1 to the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.


Results of Operations for the Three-months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to the Three-months Ended September 30, 2013


Net Sales


Net sales increased 47% in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013. The increase in sales was primarily due to three customers who increased purchases accounted for 43% of the increase in sales. In addition several of our new distributors are beginning to generate sales in their areas, and helped to contribute to the increase in the third quarter.


We are dependent upon sales to a limited number of customers. Sales to four customers accounted for approximately 18%, 16%, 12% and 11%, respectively, for a total of 57% of the net sales for the three-months ended September 30, 2014, or 65% of the increase over net sales in the same period in 2013. While we remain dependent upon sales to a limited number of customers, our sales dependence is now on a larger group of customers. Sales to three customers accounted for approximately 22%, 14%, and 11%, respectively (for a total of 47%), of the net sales for the three-months ended September 30, 2013.


Cost of Products Sold


Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased from 32% in the third quarter of 2013 to 37% in the third quarter of 2014. The increase in gross profit was also attributable to sales of higher margin products, sales to customers in higher margin price categories and reduced charges for slow moving inventory. The last area that contributed to the increase in gross profit resulted from better pricing in the cost of a few of our key components, purchased during the period. We have obtained alternative sources for some of these components and this has contributed to improved margins.


Salaries and Wages


Salaries and wages were increased by 11% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to September 30, 2013 as a result of increased salaries which was partially offset by reduced expenses for employee benefits, primarily stock option expense. Salaries and wages, as a percentage of sales, were 35% for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 47% for the third quarter of 2013.




13



 


Selling and Administrative Expenses


Selling and administrative expenses decreased slightly by less than 1% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013. This decrease was due to a decrease in travel, marketing expense and the allocation of engineering fees and was partially offset by increased professional fees to costs associated with patents.  As we extend our reach to international customers and develop more specialized products for niche industries, we anticipate that travel and marketing costs will increase, but all other expenses will remain stable for the balance of the year. The following table lists the major categories of expenses included in Selling and Administrative expenses:

Interest Expense


Interest expense increased 16% for the three months ending September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ending September 30, 2013 and was incurred primarily on the outstanding balance of the stockholder notes payable. The increase was due to higher borrowings. The Company pays interest monthly on the notes payable to the stockholder at the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus 1.4%, which was a weighted average of 2.417% as of September 30, 2014 as compared to 2.28% as of September 30, 2013.


Results of Operations for the Nine-months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to the Nine-months Ended September 30, 2013


Net Sales


Net sales increased 44% in the nine months ending September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ending September 30, 2013. The majority of our sales increase in the 2014 period resulted from orders from three customers in the amount of approximately $361,000, or 48%.


Sales to two customers individually accounted for 17% and 15% (for a total of 32%) for the nine months ending September 30, 2014. Sales to two customers individually accounted for 15%, and 14% (for a total of 29%) for the nine months ending September 30, 2013.


Cost of Products Sold


Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased from 26% in the nine months ending September 30, 2013 to 38% in the nine months ending September 30, 2014. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales, which generates a higher gross profit, is primarily attributable to the reserve for slow moving inventory of $42,702 recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and decreased allocation of manufacturing overhead due to lower than expected sales.



14



 


Salaries and Wages


Salaries and wages increased slightly by 1.5% for the nine months ending September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ending September 30, 2013. This increase was primarily due to increased salaries which were partially offset by decreased expenses associated with employee benefits. Salaries and wages, as a percentage of sales, were 47% for the nine months ending September 30, 2013 and 33% for the nine months ending September 30, 2014.


Selling and Administrative Expenses


Selling and administrative expenses decreased 8% for the nine months ending September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ending September 30, 2013.

The changes in most components of selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013 are the result of the same factors which impacted period to period changes described earlier in this section:


o

Reduced employee benefit was primarily the result of employee stock options becoming fully vested;


o

Engineering decreased due to an increase in the allocation of overhead applied;


o

Professional fees were reduced due to a change in outside consultants; and


o

Occupancy expense decreases as the Company was able to renew it lease on its facility with a reduction in costs


Interest Expense


Interest expense increased for the nine months ending September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ending September 30, 2013 and was incurred primarily on the outstanding balance of the stockholder notes payable. The increase was due to higher borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of September 30, 2014, the Company had cash of $133,580, as compared to $161,503 at December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2014, we had negative working capital of ($877,340) and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was 0.55 to 1. At December 31, 2013 we had negative working capital of ($769,907) and our current ratio was 0.57 to 1. The decrease in working capital deficit and increase in current ratio is primarily attributable to decrease in cash and inventories, offset by an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.


We have incurred net losses each year since inception and at September 30, 2014 we had an accumulated deficit of $58,038,694. Our net sales are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses.  We are primarily dependent upon loans from related parties to provide funds for working capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we raised an additional $550,100 from stockholder loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we raised $898,076 from stockholder loans. In addition during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we received proceeds of $18,316 from the exercise of employee stock options. As of September 30, 2014, we owe our principal stockholder who is also an executive officer and a director of the Company $10.4 million for funds he has advanced to us from time to time for working capital. Interest expense on our loans was $184,222 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.


We do not currently have any commitments for capital expenditures. Our current cash position is insufficient to cover our current operating needs for the next twelve months, and we do not have any external sources of working capital. While we anticipate an increase in cash flows from 2014 sales activity, we expect additional cash will still be needed to support operations, meet our working capital needs, and satisfy our obligations as they become due this year. Although we are actively seeking additional equity investments, we have no firm commitments from any third parties and there are no assurances we will be successful in attracting additional capital. In addition, as set forth above, we owe our stockholder $10.4 million which is due on December 31, 2015 or (i) at such time as we have raised an additional $7 million over the $3.5 million raised in prior offerings, or (ii) at such time as we are operating within sufficient cash flow parameters to sustain operations, or (iii) until a disposition of our company, such as an acquisition or merger, occurs. We do not have sufficient funds to pay this loan when it becomes due and there are no assurances our stockholder will extend the due date.

We continue to address liquidity concerns because of inadequate revenue growth. We have implemented measures to preserve our ability to operate, including organizational changes, a reduction and/or deferral of salaries, reduction in personnel and renegotiating creditor and collection arrangements. If budgeted sales levels are not achieved and/or significant unanticipated expenditures occur, or if we are not able to raise additional investment capital, we may have to modify our business plan, reduce or discontinue some of our operations or seek a buyer for part of our assets to continue as a going concern through 2014. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or that sales will increase to the level required to generate profitable operations to provide positive cash flow from operations. In that event, it is possible that stockholders could lose their entire investment in our company.


Cash Flows


Operating activities


For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 net cash used in operating activities was $539,787, which primarily resulted from the net loss of $751,676. In addition to the cash used in funding the operating loss, the utilization of cash in operations is also attributable to the increase in accounts receivable of $117,558 as a result of our increased sales. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 net cash used in operating activities was $836,923, which primarily resulted from the net loss of $1,125,762.


Investing activities


For the nine months ending September 30, 2014, $50,547 was used in investing activities for the purchase of software and capitalized patent costs. For the nine months ending September 30, 2013, $58,593 was used in investing activities for the purchase of equipment.

Financing activities


Net cash provided by financing activities was $562,411 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was composed of $550,100 in loans from our stockholders as described, proceeds of $18,316 from the exercise of employee stock options, which were partially offset by $6,005 in payments of capital lease obligations. Net cash provided by financing activities was $884,643 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was composed of $898,076 in loans from our stockholders as described above, offset by $13,433 in payments of capital lease obligations.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, which includes our CEO and our Vice President who serves as our principal financial officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2014 (the "Evaluation Date"). Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, 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, 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. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and our Vice President who also serves as our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President who serves as our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
