Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Nature of Business

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in Form 10-K of Akers Biosciences, Inc. (“the Company”).

The consolidated financial statements include two dormant subsidiaries, Akers Acquisition Sub, Inc. and Bout Time Marketing Corporation. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company commenced research and development operations in September 1989, and until 2005 had devoted substantially all its efforts to establishing the new business.

The Company’s primary focus is the development and sale of disposable diagnostic testing devices that can be performed in minutes, to facilitate time sensitive therapeutic decisions. The Company’s main products are a disposable breathalyzer test that measures the blood alcohol content of the user, a rapid test detecting the antibody causing an allergic reaction to Heparin and a disposable breathalyzer test that measures Free Radical activity in the human body. When the Company enters into an agreement with a new distributor it requires an upfront licensing fee to be paid for the right to sell the Company’s products in specific markets.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in U.S. Dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).

The Company is an emerging growth company as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act enacted on April 5, 2012 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

AKERS BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is included in the following notes for revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory write-downs, impairment of intangible assets and valuation of share based payments.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in U.S. Dollars has been rounded to the nearest dollar. Foreign Currency Transaction Gains or Losses, resulting from loans and cash balances denominated in Foreign Currencies, are recorded in the statement of operations.

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 220 in reporting comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances. The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits (up to 3 months from date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal date or use, to be cash equivalents. Bank overdrafts are shown as part of trade and other payables in the balance sheet.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables and trade and other payables. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and trade and other payables approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The Company believes the carrying amount of its note receivable approximates its fair value based on rates and other terms. The fair value of marketable securities is described in Note 2(g).

AKERS BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The carrying amounts of current trade receivables is stated at cost, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and approximate their fair value given their short term nature.

The normal credit terms extended to customers ranges between 30 and 90 days. The Company reviews all receivables that exceed terms and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of allowance. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses, makes judgments about the credit worthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future.

AKERS BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, allowances for doubtful accounts were $- and $-. Allowances charged for doubtful accounts amounted to $- for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business primarily related to trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

Substantially all of the Company’s cash are maintained with Fulton Bank of New Jersey and Bank of America. The funds are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a maximum of $250,000 per account or instrument, but are otherwise unprotected. The Company placed $210,771 and $399,417 with Fulton Bank of New Jersey, $82,954 and $52,384 with Bank of America and $4,040 PayPal as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company had $37,067 and $- on hand, pending deposit as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables exists as approximately 66% of its revenue was generated by two customers for the three months ended March 31, 2015. These customers accounted for 4% of trade receivables as of March 31, 2015. In order to limit such risks, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition.

Included in accounts receivable as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is a receivable of $1,000,000 due to be paid in two increments of $500,000, the first on April 30, 2015 and the second on July 30, 2015. Additionally, a receivable of $864,000 is due on June 25, 2015 (Note 2(n)).

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or market. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average principle, and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, costs include an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized within “other income” in the statement of operations.

AKERS BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Depreciation is recognized in the statement of operations on the accelerated basis over the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their useful lives.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.

The Company has developed or acquired several diagnostic tests that can detect the presence of various substances in a person’s breath, blood, urine and saliva. Propriety protection for the Company’s products, technology and process is important to its competitive position. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has nine patents from the United States Patent Office in effect (7,896,167, 8,097,171, 7,285,246, 7,837,936, 8,003,061, 8,425,859, 8,871,521, 5,827,749 and 8,808,639). Other patents are in effect in Australia through the Design Registry (348,310, 348,311 and 348,312), the Community Trade Mark in the European Union ((OHIM) 002216895-0001, 002216895-0002 and 002216895-0003) and in Japan (4,885,134 and 4,931,821). Patents are in the national phase of prosecution in many Patent Cooperation Treaty participating countries. Additional proprietary technology consists of numerous different inventions. The Company intends to file additional patent applications, where appropriate, relating to new products, technologies and their use in the U.S., European and Asian markets. Management intends to protect all other intellectual property (e.g. copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets) using all legal remedies available to the Company.

Costs associated with applying for patents are capitalized as patent costs. Once the patents are approved, the respective costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives (maximum of 17 years) on a straight-line basis. Patent pending costs for patents that are not approved are charged to operations the year the patent is rejected.

In addition, patents may be purchased from third parties. The costs of acquiring the patent are capitalized as patent costs if it represents a future economic benefit to the Company. Once a patent is acquired it is amortized over its remaining useful life.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company, which have definite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

AKERS BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. No such events and circumstances have occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss, if one exists, is then measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the discounted estimated future cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of such assets less costs to sell. Asset impairment charges are recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived asset that will be sold or disposed of to their estimated fair values. Charges for the asset impairment reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived assets to their estimated salvage value in connection with the decision to dispose of such assets.

In accordance with FASB ASC 323, the Company recognizes investments in joint ventures based upon the Company’s ability to significantly influence the operational or financial policies of the joint venture. An objective judgment of the level of influence is made at the time of the investment based upon several factors including, but not limited to the following:

AKERS BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company follows the equity method for valuating investments in joint ventures when the existence of significant influence over operational and financial policy has been established, as determined by management; otherwise, the Company will valuate these investments using the cost method.

Investments recorded using the cost method will be assessed for any decrease in value that has occurred that is other than temporary and the other than temporary decrease in value shall be recognized. As and when circumstances and facts change, the Company will evaluate the Company’s ability to significantly influence operational and financial policy to establish a basis for converting the investment accounted for using the cost method to the equity method of valuation.

On March 9, 2015, the Company contributed capital of $64,675 in Hainan Savy Akers Biosciences, Ltd., a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China, resulting in a 19.9% ownership interest. This is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 and is accounted for using the cost method.

In accordance with FASB ASC 605, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales when title passes to the customer based on shipping terms. The Company typically does not accept returns nor offer charge backs or rebates except for certain distributors. Revenue recorded is net of any discount, rebate or sales return. No accrual for estimated sales returns and rebate incentives are necessary as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The Company’s new distributor in Australia, Singapore, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, Thirty Six Strategies General Trading LLC (“36S”), placed their first order for one of the Company’s REA based products during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The Company with the assistance of 36S, has submitted the product to Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (“TGA”) and is awaiting final government approval for 36S to begin marketing the product. Although 36S has the right to return this product should the TGA deny government approval, the Company believes the likelihood of rejection is minimal and therefore recognized the entire sales transaction of $864,000 in revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The product carries a United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Over-the-Counter approval (FDA K880723), three Conformité Européenne (“CE”) Marks (DE/CA09/0170/IVD/1428; DE/CA09/0170/IVD/1429; DE/CA09/0170/IVD/1430) for the European Economic Area and a Health Canada approval (73007) for Canada. The Company has never been denied a foreign government approval for any of its products that carries an FDA approval.

AKERS BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The sole condition under which the product can be returned is the failure of the Company to attain TGA approval for the test. Given the existing approvals attained by the Company for the product and the Company’s history with attaining foreign government approvals, the Company has determined that the risk of a product return is insignificant.

The Company granted 36S extended terms for this specific sale, as allowed in the distribution agreement, to allow Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration time to issue the government approval required for them to begin actively marketing the product. The Company believes that the receivable is fully collectable and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts is deemed necessary.

Based on the above, the Company determined that the revenue recognition for this transaction is in accordance with the FASB ASC 605-15-25-1 and 605-15-25-3.

License fee revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement.

When the Company enters into arrangements that contain more than one deliverable, the Company allocates revenue to the separate elements under the arrangement based on their relative selling prices in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25.

The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Company charges actual shipping plus a handling fee to customers, which amounted to $18,941 and $ $8,238 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. These fees are classified as part of product revenue in the statement of operations. Shipping and other related delivery costs, including those for incoming raw materials are classified as part of the cost of net revenue, which amounted to $44,690 and $11,037 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred.

AKERS BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Under FASB ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the period which services are to be received.

Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period.

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was based on a loss of $1,321,799 and $595,600 attributable to common shareholders.

Potential common shares consist of options and warrants. Diluted net loss per common share was the same as basic loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 since the effect of options and warrants would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss attributable to the common shareholders for the periods. Instruments excluded from dilutive earnings per share, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, were 175,000 units of options for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 1,989 units of warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015 and for the three months then ended, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

AKERS BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 3 – Marketable Securities

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

U.S. Agency Securities, Corporate and Municipal Securities and Certificates of Deposits: Valued using pricing models maximizing the use of observable inputs for similar securities. This includes basing value on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings.

Marketable securities include U.S. agency securities, corporate securities, and municipal securities, which are classified as available for sale. The securities are valued at fair market value. Maturities of the securities range from one to twenty years. Unrealized gains and losses relating to the available for sale investment securities were recorded in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity as comprehensive income. These amounts were a gain of $26,713 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and a loss of $10,874 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015, investments in U.S. agency securities, corporate securities and municipal securities classified as available for sale mature as follows:

Proceeds from the sale of marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $1,253,436 and $1,713. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 the gross gain was $448 and $40 as a result of the sales.

Note 13 – Income Tax Expense

There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 since management has determined that the realization of the net deferred tax asset is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. As of January 1, 2015, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, or any tax related interest or penalties. There were no changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to unrecognized tax benefits. With few exceptions, the U.S. and state income tax returns filed for the tax years ending on December 31, 2011 and thereafter are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities.

Note 18 – Contingencies

On October 15, 2014 a complaint was filed by Akers Biosciences, Inc. in federal district court (Southern District of New York) seeking a declaratory judgment of non-breach of a contract with Mr. Lawrence Martin.  This complaint was filed in response to various threats of litigation proffered by Mr. Martin’s counsel in connection with the alleged breach of a purchase agreement entered into by the Company and Mr. Martin on January 23, 2007 (“2007 Purchase Agreement”), as amended on April 18, 2012.  Prior to filing the complaint the Company, in good faith, attempted to ascertain the basis for the breach allegations with an eye to resolve any possible claims outside of court but such discussions ultimately were rendered fruitless. Responsive to the Company’s filing, Mr. Martin has filed a complimentary suit in the sixth judicial circuit court (Pinellas County, FL) alleging, among other counts, breach of the 2007 Purchase Agreement for failure to pay certain royalties allegedly owed to Mr. Martin. The Company successfully removed the Florida state court case filed by Mr. Martin to the Federal District Court, Middle District, Florida. On March 10, 2015, the Federal Southern District of New York denied Mr. Martin’s request to transfer venue to Florida and retained jurisdiction. In light of this decision, The Company and Mr. Martin have entered into a Stipulation that Mr. Martin’s Florida Action will be dismissed without prejudice. To-date, Mr. Martin has not re-filed his claim in the Southern District of New York as Counterclaims and the case has entered into the discovery phase. The Company continues to seek the most efficient and optimal manner to handle Mr. Martin’s claims without prejudicing any of its rights. The Company believes that no accrual for potential losses from this case are necessary.

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

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by Akers Biosciences, Inc. ( “Akers”, “Aker Bio”, “we” or the “Company”) from time to time with the SEC (collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to the Company’s business, industry, and the Company’s operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Akers Biosciences, Inc. develops, manufactures, and supplies rapid, point-of-care screening and testing products designed to bring health-related information directly to the patient or clinician in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Akers believes it has advanced the science of diagnostics through the development of several proprietary platform technologies that provide product development flexibility.

All of Akers’ rapid, single-use tests are performed in vitro (outside the body) and are designed to enhance patient well-being and reduce the cost of healthcare. The Company’s current product offerings and pipeline products focus on delivering diagnostic assistance in a wide variety of healthcare fields/specialties, including cardiology/emergency medicine, metabolism/nutrition, neuropsychiatry, oncology and infectious disease detection, as well as for on- and off-the-job alcohol safety initiatives.

Akers believes that low-cost, single-use testing not only saves time and money, but allows for more frequent, near-patient testing which may save lives. We believe that our FDA-cleared rapid diagnostic tests help facilitate targeted diagnoses and real-time treatment. We also believe that our rapid diagnostic tests surpass most other current diagnostic products with their flexibility, speed, ease-of-use, readability, low cost and accuracy. In minutes, detection of disease states and medical conditions can be performed on single-patient specimens, without sacrificing accuracy.

We believe the use of rapid tests, which can be performed at the point-of-care when and where the patient is being consulted, can result in immediate diagnostic decisions and subsequent treatment regimens and is an important development in the practice of medicine. Point-of-care testing addresses today’s challenges in the healthcare industry, such as:

Management’s Plans and Basis of Presentation

To date, the Company has in large part relied on equity financing to fund its operations, raising $13,101,336, net of expenses, in an initial public offering on the NASDAQ Capital Market in 2014. The Company has experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. Management’s strategic plans include the following:

Despite our plans, the Company expects to continue to incur losses from operations for the near-term and these losses could be significant for the following reasons:

At March 31, 2015, Akers had cash of $336,243, working capital of $10,657,843, stockholders’ equity of $14,209,100 and an accumulated deficit of $86,185,885. The Company believes that its current working capital position will be sufficient to meet its estimated cash needs for at least the next 36 months. The Company closely monitors its cash balances, cash needs and expense levels.

Summary of Statements of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

Revenue

Akers’ revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $510,047, a 57% decrease from the same period in 2014. The majority of the revenue reduction was due to the anticipated decline in orders from ChubeWorkx Guernsey Limited, our distributor of the alcohol breathalyzer product from the MPC product line. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, ChubeWorkx accounted for $- whereas they accounted for $766,379 of our MPC product revenue in the same period of 2014, prior to the French government's postponement, indefinitely, of the fine that was to be imposed for drivers failing to possess breathalyzers in their vehicles. Sales of MPC products therefore decreased by 95%.

Domestic sales of the Company’s PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products for the period ended March 31, 2015 totaled $338,361, a 17% increase from the same period in 2014. The Company’s added multiple technical sales account executives during the period whose role is to support more than 300 sales representatives of Akers’ US distribution partners, Cardinal Health (“Cardinal”), Fisher HealthCare (“Fisher”) and Typenex Medical (“Typenex”). The revenue benefit from additional sales executives is not expected to be seen until the second quarter.

Other operating revenue increased 28% for the period ended March 31, 2015. The improvement was due to increases in licensing fees and shipping and handling fees.

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased by 63% compared to the same period in 2014 to $226,341 from $604,323 in 2014. Direct cost of sales decreased to 24% of product revenue while indirect cost of sales increased to 33% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to 45% and 11% respectively for the same period in 2014. Overall, cost of sales, as a percentage of product revenue, was 56% and 55% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

The increase in indirect cost of sales is attributed to significant increases in shipping expenses and repairs and maintenance of equipment and was mitigated by a reduction in indirect personnel expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2015. In addition, the percentage increase is affected by the fixed cost nature of many of the components in this category.

Akers’ gross profit margin, as a percentage of revenue, continued to improve, increasing to 56% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to 49% in 2014. The improvement in gross profit margin was derived from an increase in the average selling price of products in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015, totaled $698,433, which was a 7% increase as compared to $653,682 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The most significant expenses are personnel, professional services and stock market and investor relations fees which totaled $517,399 (2014: $553,539). Increased travel ($55,598 (2014: $98)) in support of investor relations activities, the joint venture with Hainan Savy Investment Management, Ltd in the People’s Republic of China and the creation of the Facilities Management department ($57,242 (2014: $-)) that was completed in April, 2014 accounted for the majority of the increase in expenses for the period ended March 31, 2015. Prior to April, 2014, facility management expenses were distributed across several functional areas and cost categories.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $575,252, which was a 173% increase as compared to $211,098 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is the result of a significant increase in personnel costs ($323,209 (2014: $110,702)) for additional sales and marketing staff and for market development studies and other professional services ($204,576 (2014: $28,550)). The increases were offset by lower royalty and external sales commission expenses ($6,639 (2014: $60,774)).

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $305,574, which was a 21% increase as compared to $253,538 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is the result of expenses for professional services ($91,186 (2014: $6,503)) and supplies ($16,514 (2014: $4,115)) offset by a decline in personnel expenses ($166,115 (2014: $218,315)). The significant increase in professional services relates primarily to product engineering and design services involved in the launch of new products.

The following table illustrates research and development costs by project for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Other Income and Expense

Other income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $38,398 from $17,765 for the same period in 2014. The increase is the result of interest and dividend earnings on the marketable securities and the note receivable totaling $31,600 (2014: $10,657).

Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2015, the Company does not believe any uncertain tax positions exist that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of interest expense and general and administrative expense, respectively in the consolidated statement of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company generated a net loss attributable to shareholders of $1,321,799 and $595,600, respectively. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $86,185,885 and $84,864,086 and had cash totaling $336,243 and $455,841, respectively.

Currently, our primary focus is to expand the domestic and international distribution of our PIFA Heparin/PF4 rapid assays. The Company continues commercialization tasks for METRON, VIVO, and BreathScan Lync™, as well as development activities for its PIFA PLUSS® Infectious Disease single-use assays, BreathScan® DKA, and Breath PulmoHealth products, including advancement of the steps required for FDA clearance or CE marking in the EU where necessary.

We expect to continue to incur losses from operations for the near-term and these losses could be significant as we incur product development, clinical and regulatory activities, contract consulting and other product development and commercialization related expenses. We believe that our current working capital position will be sufficient to meet our estimated cash needs for at least 36 months. 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 the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

We expect that our primary expenditures will be to continue development of PIFA PLUSS® Infectious Disease single-use assays, BreathScan® DKA and Breath PulmoHealth products, enroll patients in clinical trials to support performance claims, generate studies in peer-reviewed journals to support product marketing, and provide data for the FDA 510(k) clearance/CE certifications processes when required. We will also continue to support commercialization and marketing activities of commercialized products (PIFA Heparin/PF4 rapid assays, PIFA PLUSS® PF4, breath alcohol detectors, METRON, VIVO and BreathScan Lync^TM) in the US and internationally. Based upon our experience, clinical trial and related regulatory expenses can be significant costs. Steps to achieve commercialization of emerging products will be an ongoing and evolving process with expected improvements and possible subsequent generations being evaluated for commercialized and emerging tests. Should we be unable to achieve FDA clearance for products that require such regulatory “approval”, develop performance characteristics for rapid tests that satisfy market needs, or generate sufficient revenue from commercialized products, we would need to rely on other business or product opportunities to generate revenue and costs that we have incurred for the patents may be deemed impaired.

Capital expenditures for production for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $44,510 (2014: $-). Capital expenditures, primarily for production, laboratory and facility improvement costs for the year ending December 31, 2015 are expected to be approximately $250,000. As per the Company’s lease agreement, the owner of the facility will be handling the majority of facility upgrades, and we anticipate financing any production and laboratory capital expenditures through working capital.

The Company invested $64,675 for a 19.9% ownership position in a joint venture with Hainan Savy Investment Management, Ltd and Mr. Thomas Knox, the Company’s Non-executive Co-chairman, to research, develop, produce and sell Akers’ rapid diagnostic screening and testing products in China. The new entity, incorporated in the People’s Republic of China, operates as Hainan Savy Akers Biosciences, Ltd.

The Company may enter into generally short-term consulting and development agreements primarily for testing services and in connection with clinical trials conducted as part of the Company’s development process which may include activities related to the development of technical files for FDA 510(k) clearance submissions. Such commitments at any point in time may be significant but the agreements typically contain cancellation provisions.

We lease our manufacturing facility which also contains our administrative offices. Our current lease was executed January 1, 2013 and is effective through December 31, 2019. The Company has leased this property from the current owner since 1997.

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 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.

The Company’s net cash provided by investing and financing activities totaled $1,122,378 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Cash was consumed by capital expenditures, the investment in Hainan Savy Akers Biosciences, Ltd. and the purchase of marketable securities of $136,413. Proceeds from the sale of marketable securities and a policy renewal incentive from an insurer contributed cash of $1,258,791 for the period ended March 31, 2015.

The Company’s net cash provided by investing and financing activities totaled $1,034,545 during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Cash was consumed by the payment of a short-term note payable – related party and the purchase of marketable securities of $12,816,484. Proceeds from the issuance of common shares and the demutualization of an insurer contributed cash of $13,851,029 for the period ended March 31, 2014.

Operating Activities

Our net cash consumed by operating activities totaled $1,241,975 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Cash was consumed by the loss of $1,321,799 less non-operating gains of $5,355 plus a non-cash adjustment of $80,349 for depreciation and amortization of non-current assets and $7,156 for accrued interest and dividends on marketable securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, decreases in trade receivables, notes receivable – related party, other receivables of $78,517 and an increase in trade and other payables of $87,745 provided cash, primarily related to routine changes in operating activities.

Cash was consumed by the loss of $595,600 less non-operating gains of $4,669 plus a non-cash adjustment of $86,825 for depreciation and amortization of non-current assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, decreases in inventory and other assets of $478,694 provided cash, primarily related to routine changes in operating activities. A net increase in trade receivables, trade receivables – related parties and other receivables of $317,273 and a decrease in trade and other payables, trade and other payables – related parties and deferred revenue – related party of $480,347 consumed cash from operating activities.

Critical Accounting Policies

We intend to utilize the extended transition period provided in Securities Act Section 7(a)(2)(B) as allowed by Section 107(b)(1) of the JOBS Act for the adoption of new or revised accounting standards as applicable to emerging growth companies. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with these new or revised accounting standards. Since we will not be required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates. If we were to elect to comply with these public company effective dates, such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US 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.

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:

Trade Receivables, Trade Receivables – Related Party and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The carrying amounts of current trade receivables is stated at cost, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and approximate their fair value given their short term nature.

The normal credit terms extended to customers ranges between 30 and 90 days. The Company reviews all receivables that exceed terms and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of allowance. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses, makes judgments about the credit worthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future.

Fair Value Measurement – Marketable Securities

The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Intangible Assets

The Company has developed or acquired several diagnostic tests that can detect the presence of various substances in a person’s breath, blood, urine and saliva. Propriety protection for the Company’s products, technology and process is important to its competitive position. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has nine patents from the United States Patent Office in effect (7,896,167, 8,097,171, 7,285,246, 7,837,936, 8,003,061, 8,425,859, 8,871,521, 5,827,749 and 8,808,639). Other patents are in effect in Australia through the Design Registry (348,310, 348,311 and 348,312), the Community Trade Mark in the European Union ((OHIM) 002216895-0001, 002216895-0002 and 002216895-0003) and in Japan (4,885,134 and 4,931,821). Patents are in the national phase of prosecution in many Patent Cooperation Treaty participating countries. Additional proprietary technology consists of numerous different inventions. The Company intends to file additional patent applications, where appropriate, relating to new products, technologies and their use in the U.S., European and Asian markets. Management intends to protect all other intellectual property (e.g. copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets) using all legal remedies available to the Company.

Costs associated with applying for patents are capitalized as patent costs. Once the patents are approved, the respective costs are amortized over a period of twelve to seventeen years on a straight-line basis. Patent pending costs for patents that are not approved are charged to operations the year the patent is rejected.

In addition, patents may be purchased from third parties. The costs of acquiring the patent are capitalized as patent costs if it represents a future economic benefit to the Company. Once a patent is acquired it is amortized over its remaining life. 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 during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Long-Lived Assets

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized net within “other income” in profit or loss.

Investments

In accordance with FASB ASC 323, the Company recognizes investments in joint ventures based upon the Company’s ability to significantly influence the operational or financial policies of the joint venture. An objective judgment of the level of influence is made at the time of the investment based upon several factors including, but not limited to the following:

The Company follows the equity method for valuating investments in joint ventures when the existence of significant influence over operational and financial policy has been established, as determined by management; otherwise, the Company will valuate these investments using the cost method.

Investments recorded using the cost method will be assessed for any decrease in value that has occurred that is other than temporary and the other than temporary decrease in value shall be recognized. As and when circumstances and facts change, the Company will evaluate the Company’s ability to significantly influence operational and financial policy to establish a basis for converting the investment accounted for using the cost method to the equity method of valuation.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASC 605, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales when title passes to the customer based on shipping terms. The Company typically does not accept returns nor offer charge backs or rebates except for certain distributors. Revenue recorded is net of any discount, rebate or sales return.

License fee revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement.

When the Company enters into arrangements that contain more than one deliverable, the Company allocates revenue to the separate elements under the arrangement based on their relative selling prices in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25.

Stock-based Compensation

FASB 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. The Black-Scholes model is utilized to calculate the fair value of equity instruments.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant known off balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Pursuant to Rule 13a- 15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

As of March 31, 2015 and based upon that evaluation, the Company’s PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s PEO and PFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we are a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves and our customers by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights.

On October 15, 2014 a complaint was filed by Akers Biosciences, Inc. in federal district court (Southern District of New York) seeking a declaratory judgment of non-breach of a contract with Mr. Lawrence Martin. This complaint was filed in response to various threats of litigation proffered by Mr. Martin’s counsel in connection with the alleged breach of a purchase agreement entered into by the Company and Mr. Martin on January 23, 2007 (“2007 Purchase Agreement”), as amended on April 18, 2012. Prior to filing the complaint, the Company, in good faith, attempted to ascertain the basis for the breach allegations with an eye to resolve any possible claims outside of court but such discussions ultimately were rendered fruitless. Responsive to the Company’s filing, Mr. Martin has filed a complimentary suit in the sixth judicial circuit court (Pinellas County, FL) alleging, among other counts, breach of the 2007 Purchase Agreement for failure to pay certain royalties allegedly owed to Mr. Martin. The Company successfully removed the Florida state court case filed by Mr. Martin to the Federal District Court, Middle District, Florida. On March 10, 2015, the Federal Southern District of New York denied Mr. Martin’s request to transfer venue to Florida and retained jurisdiction. In light of this decision, the Company and Mr. Martin have entered into a Stipulation that Mr. Martin’s Florida Action will be dismissed without prejudice. To-date, Mr. Martin has not re-filed his claim in the Southern District of New York as Counterclaims and the case has entered into the discovery phase. The Company continues to seek the most efficient and optimal manner to handle Mr. Martin’s claims without prejudicing any of its rights. The Company believes that no accrual for potential losses from this case are necessary.

With the exception of the foregoing dispute, the Company is not involved in any disputes and does not have any litigation matters pending.
