I'm thinking with the ramping up of operations we will see explosive news sometime soon (see bolded points below):
During the three months ended June 30, 2015 we incurred total expenses of $4,618,278, including $3,844,241 in salaries and compensation, $11,700 in depreciation, $550,606 in professional fees, $78,435 in selling and marketing expenses, $248,334 in interest and financing costs and $205,139 as other expenses, net of $320,177 gain in change in fair value on derivative liabilities whereas during the three months ended June 30, 2014 we incurred total expenses of $432,173, including $158,697 in salaries and compensation, $11,374 in depreciation, $164,802 in professional fees, $18,299 in selling and marketing expenses and $79,001 in other expenses. Our professional fees consist of legal, consulting, accounting and auditing fees. The increase in our total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from the comparative period is mainly due to an increase in salaries and compensation of $3,685,544, an increase in selling and marketing of $60,136, an increase in professional fees of $385,804 and an increase in other expenses of $126,638. The increase in professional fees was mainly due to the outsourcing of certain strategic planning, project management planning and IT services for preparing the Company to deliver on its pending contracts. There is also a net decrease in expense of $71,843 resulting from interest and financing costs as well as change in fair values relating to the promissory notes which were not present in the previous period.
The increase in salaries and compensation was mainly due to non-cash stock based compensation of $3,414,000 in the second quarter of 2015 to employees and directors and the doubling of employees from June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2015 as Kallo expects the contracts with the Republic of Guinea to start sometime this year. Selling and marketing expenses increased due to more travel to Africa to finalize the contract with the Republic of Guinea. The increase in other expenses is mainly due to a loss on extinguishment of accounts payable of $83,344.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015 we incurred total expenses of $6,149,693, including $4,284,975 in salaries and compensation, $20,354 in depreciation, $1,054,420 in professional fees, $123,549 in selling and marketing expenses, $421,943 in interest and financing costs and $272,619 as other expenses, net of $28,167 gain in change in fair value on convertible promissory notes whereas during the six months ended June 30, 2014 we incurred total expenses of $1,077,167, including $519,900 in salaries and compensation, $22,747 in depreciation, $285,514 in professional fees, $142,435 in selling and marketing expenses and $106,571 in other expenses. Our professional fees consist of legal, consulting, accounting and auditing fees. The increase of $3,765,075 in salaries and compensation is due to an increase in non-cash stock based compensation of $3,183,600 in 2015 to employees and directors and the doubling of employees from June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2015 as Kallo is ramping up for the anticipated start of the contract with the Republic of Guinea. The increase in professional fees of $768,906 was mainly due to the outsourcing of certain strategic planning, project management planning and IT services to outside consultants. There is also an increase in interest and financing costs of $411,428 and a gain in change in fair value of $28,167 on the new convertible promissory notes which Kallo received in late 2014 and early 2015.
