OVERVIEW
Established in 1969, Advanzeon Solutions, Inc., (formerly Comprehensive Care Corp.) (“Advanzeon”, “we”, “Parent”, or the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Pharmacy Value Management Solutions, Inc., (“PVMS”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries during 2015, and partly in 2016, provided managed care services by acting as the administrator for certain administrative service agreements in the behavioral health and substance abuse fields. We primarily offered these services to commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) health plans, as well as self-insured companies. Our managed care operations consisted solely of servicing administrative service agreements. Starting in July of 2015, we implemented our comprehensive sleep apnea program, called “SleepMaster Solutions” ™. SleepMaster Solutions (“SMS”) utilizes an administrative system for the convenient identification/testing and therapy of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (“OSA”). We partnered with a national health care provider by initiating a sleep apnea wellness program whereby we screened, tested and when needed, offered a treatment programs for treating this disorder. We also contracted with a union to treat its driver members. Beginning in 2017, our only business was our SMS sleep apnea program.

OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APENA
In 2014, the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) overhauled its system such that regulations now require commercial drivers, that is drivers with a commercial driver’s license (‘CDL”) must be specifically examined with respect to whether or not they have a respiratory dysfunction which is defined to include Obstructive Sleep Apnea (“OSA”). OSA is a breathing disorder that causes the airway in a person’s throat to close during sleep for ten seconds or more. This loss of breathing function can occur as many as 400 times during the night, and those who have the disorder wake up multiple times, which can lead to exhaustion during the day. Although OSA is diagnosed across a wide demographic, there are certain factors that increase the risk of a person developing this disorder:
● | Obesity |
● | Smoking and drinking alcohol |
● | Family history |
● | Small airway |
● | Recessed chin, large overbite |
● | Ethnicity |
The troubling aspect of OSA as it relates to CDL drivers is that it causes intense fatigue often causing a driver to struggle with focusing and remaining alert while driving. Sleep apnea is one of the major contributing factors in truck accidents.
SOURCES OF REVENUE
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, all of our revenue was earned from our sleep apnea business.
OUR BUSINESS
The Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary Pharmacy Value Management Solutions, Inc. administers and operates a medically-driven sleep apnea program branded SleepMaster Solutions™ (“SMS”). Management believes that SMS is the largest provider of these combined services in the nation. We are in all 50 states and provide a turnkey solution designed to effectively keep drivers on the road with no down time and compliant with DOT regulations, improve their health, and significantly decrease legal liability risk for the employer. We are vertically integrated, and we provide a “Program” of services that addresses all the needs of a corporate transportation system, union or other driver-related organizations. We believe we are the only company capable of providing the full range of needed services in a timely manner.
Our services start with the identification of the target population and the potential risk the client currently has. We can do this through our SMS Program, which includes the ability to screen every driver to identify if signs and symptoms of sleep apnea are present. We can then take this data and provide the employer with a list of those drivers that should be tested and the statistical likelihood of the percentage of those drivers who will test positive for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Together with the employer/union, SMS provides a realistic time frame, actual total cost, and process for testing all drivers who need to be tested. For those drivers testing positive for OSA, we then provide the appropriate treatment such that the driver will meet the DOT requirements and remain on the road. We monitor 365 days per year driver’s usage of the treatment device according to DOT standards and we report that usage to all stakeholders as required/permitted. We utilize mathematical algorithms to determine if the driver is predicatively meeting the annual DOT requirements for usage. Using those predictive algorithms, we reach out to those drivers to provide case management and encouragement designed to solve problems such that the driver increases usage, if necessary, and remains compliant.

SMS constructed its model based upon the foregoing principles. The SMS Program includes all processes attended in sleep apnea screening, testing, treatment, monitoring and overall management of commercial drivers’ as well as their employers’ needs. We have successfully established relationships with national health care clinic providers, all with certified medical examiner (“CME”) status. These clinics total almost 1,000 throughout the U.S. We also have both formal and informal relationships with employers; municipalities; a significant veteran’s group; union and non-union driving organizations; suppliers of home sleep testing equipment and a variety of OSA treatment devices; and, a national network of telemedicine sleep specialists covering all 50 states. We have an internal medical team for governance and protocol purposes and a customer service department that interfaces directly with our drivers. We also have a marketing team that regularly interfaces with our existing accounts and markets our services to potential new accounts. Our services are performed utilizing a best medical practices model and an efficient, cost-effective delivery system. We obtain the required equipment on a per order basis from a durable medical equipment distributor.
Revenue is recognized when billed, which is approximately when the testing service is performed or CPAP machine is shipped.
In the past, the commercial transportation industry, and industry in general, did not fully appreciate OSA as a health/liability issue. Today, more and more companies have begun to identify OSA as a major health and liability concern. Part of this realization has been occasioned by the number of successful lawsuits initiated on account of drivers accused of having accidents caused, in part, by their having OSA (sleep apnea). Several years ago, the Company identified this health problem and an industry trend toward more attention being devoted to issues involving OSA. We took steps to address what we saw as a national healthcare epidemic, and in the process, we constructed a nationwide virtual system for the screening, testing and treatment of OSA. We believe we are the only nationwide, medically-driven company that actively engages and promotes to industry a national screening, testing and treatment program targeting OSA.
The United States government has provided impetus to certain employers and unions to start paying more attention to OSA by passing legislation requiring that commercial interstate drivers (including truckers, airline pilots and railway conductors) be examined for a respiratory dysfunction (sleep apnea) as a condition of their maintaining their commercial license. That, notwithstanding, however, the challenge we faced, and continue to face, is getting employers, associations, municipalities and unions (collectively, “employers”) to fully realize the health and economic value to them for actively promoting an internal OSA program to their employees and/or members (collectively, “employees”) which consists of providing our services to their employees on an employer-paid basis – no cost to the employee. Therefore, once we have made our initial contact with an employer who is willing to pay for all or a part of our SMS services, our job is to then assist them in implementing a comprehensive OSA program and, either directly or indirectly, promoting same to their employees. We have found that while many companies wholeheartedly embrace the need to address OSA from a management perspective, others, while recognizing the problem, are not yet ready to actually promote such a program, internally, from a cost perspective. They are oftentimes not willing to enter into a formal contract for our services, preferring an informal relationship whereby they agree that while they will pay for the services we rendered to their employees, they will not engage in the active promotion of the program. The result is that unless we convince the employers to make their employees aware of such coverage, the employees often remain unaware of the fact that their employer is providing them with such a benefit. It is, therefore, our responsibility, and our cost, to work with each such employer, generally through their human resources staff to provide the design and necessary materials needed to implement and monitor an effective OSA benefit program. This requires an active marketing effort on our part both before the relationship is solidified, and consistently thereafter. As a result of our limited financial resources, while we have now successfully established a significant number of these relationships, there still remains the task of continuing our marketing efforts to fully realize the economic benefit of those relationships. We are confident that our continued efforts will ultimately provide a meaningful revenue stream in tandem with the growth of our patient population.

Our Home Sleep Test (HST) Process:
After a driver has been diagnosed as at risk for OSA, the next step is for the driver to be evaluated with a Home Sleep Test (“HST”). The HST is a testing device used overnight by the driver. The device takes readings of the sleep interruptions, oxygen levels and other related data. SMS contacts the driver and coordinates where to send the Home Seep Test. The driver is advised what will come in the box and when the box will arrive. SMS then ships the test along with a return shipping box. When the test is completed, the driver places the device in the return box. The driver then calls USPS for a free pickup or drops off the box at a USPS location. The test is then returned to SMS where the test is downloaded, results evaluated by a certified sleep specialist, and a report generated. We coordinate with our supplier and provide the HST and related services to the driver for a fee.
CPAP Therapy:
Once the HST Is returned and results evaluated, the driver falls into one of two categories. If sleep apnea is ruled out, the driver and all relevant stakeholders are provided with a “Certificate of Compliance” which is used by the certified medical examiner (CME) to certify the driver’s medical card. If sleep apnea is confirmed, the driver and all relevant stakeholders are advised, and a medically correct and regulatory compliant treatment plan is recommended. This plan is most often Continuous Positive Air Pressure (“CPAP”) therapy. SMS will provide the driver with an auto-regulating CPAP machine and deliver same to the driver’s home, office, or wherever he/she prefers to receive it. The driver is instructed on how to use the CPAP machine and preferences for mask type, fitting size, etc. are customized for the driver. SMS employs staff who is skilled at walking a driver through the process. SMS also utilizes a “hotline” that a driver may call with any questions.
Monitoring:
SMS provides monitoring of drivers for compliance as required by the DOT. There are two phases of monitoring. For those drivers determined to require CPAP therapy, an initial thirty day report is required to demonstrate that the driver is using the CPAP machine at least 70% of the time. SMS not only monitors the driver, but actively intervenes with the driver to encourage compliance. SMS utilizes an algorithm based on current usage to predict if the driver will meet compliance guidelines. If our monitoring indicates the driver is not meeting guidelines, we alert them and offer suggestions and encouragement to help them meet compliance. At the conclusion of the thirty day period, SMS provides a DOT appropriate report documenting compliance performance. SMS also provides ongoing monitoring via a WIFI-based model to monitor the driver’s usage 24/365. We provide the same case management function of encouraging compliance and offering solutions to keep the driver healthy, safe, compliant and on the road.

OUR ADVISORY BOARDS
Medical Advisory Board
Our SMS program is a medically-driven program dedicated to the concept that by attacking and containing root causes of various ailments affecting our population, we can dramatically reduce the cost of healthcare; increase workplace productivity; decrease and, in many cases, eliminate unnecessary expenses; and, provide for a healthier population, both in and out of the workplace. The primary focus of our Medical Advisory Board panel in regard to the foregoing is sleep apnea.
The Medical Advisory Board consists of 33 members at present and is composed of members with specialties and sub-specialties specifically selected so that it can address all of the various sleep-disorder breathing co-morbidities. Some of the practices represented on the Board include cardiovascular, pathology and diabetes The Board meets at least twice a year, and more often as needed. Management consults with individual members on an as needed basis. The Medical Advisory Board furthers the SMS program mission to perform its services utilizing a best medical practices model and an efficient, cost-effective delivery system.
Dental Advisory Board
The Dental Advisory Board meets jointly with the Medicinal Advisory Board. With the expansion of dental practice into the areas of detection and treatment of OSA the Board advises management on advances and new solutions for the treatment of OSA. It presently has three members.
MARKETING AND SALES
Our marketing and sales efforts are led by our management. In addition, we utilized independent sales agents for direct sales to commercial, CHIP health plans, health care providers as well as self-insured companies and unions. We enter into written agreements with these sales agents whereby we pay a base amount of compensation plus a commission amount. We currently have three such agents. Our customer service operations and telemarketing efforts are handles by independent contractors. We pay these contractors a set amount of compensation. We currently have four such contractors.
COMPETITION
We operate in a very competitive but highly fractured health care environment. There are traditional sleep test centers that have operated for a long time and are well established. The services provide by such centers are most often covered by insurance. Our services are not generally covered by insurance as we are not presently credentialed to be able to accept insurance. Once a person has been diagnosed with OSA there are a number of ways that equipment may be obtained. Again, insurance may cover the purchase of such equipment. Equipment for the treatment of OSA is readily obtainable from many sources including the internet. In addition, there are a number of devices advertised that claim to treat OSA without the need for CPAP equipment. We believe that our SMS Program is the only medically driven comprehensive program that provides the customer/employer with a turnkey solution from initial screening through testing, when required, treatment and ongoing compliance monitoring.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION
We are subject to the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”). One of the purposes of HIPAA is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system through standardization of the electronic data interchange of certain administrative and financial transactions and, also, to protect the security and privacy of protected health information. Entities subject to HIPAA include some healthcare providers and all healthcare plans.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
All of our OSA information technology and systems operate on a single platform. This approach avoids the costs associated with maintaining multiple systems and improves productivity. The open architecture of the systems gives us the ability to transfer data from other systems thereby facilitating the integration of new health plan business. We use our information system for customer processing, utilization management, reporting, cost trending, planning, and analysis. The system also supports customer and provider service functions.
We significantly enhanced our network by installing a storage area network and virtualizing our computer servers. This implementation brought in the current best practices approach and permitted a major overhaul of our information technology infrastructure. The technology centralizes storage management, increases the utilization of equipment, improves redundancy of the servers, reduces the overall hardware requirements, and facilitates growth, while driving down the total cost of ownership.
ADMINISTRATION AND EMPLOYEES
Our executive and administrative offices are located in Tampa, Florida, where we maintain operations, business development, accounting, reporting and information systems, and provider and customer service functions. As of December 31, 2018, we employed two people and contracted for seven others.

You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the risk factors listed below. Risks and uncertainties in addition to those we describe below, that may not be presently known to us, or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also harm our business and operations in the future. If any of these risks occur, our business, and its future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be harmed, the price of shares of our common stock could decline, and future events and circumstances could differ significantly from those expected that are set forth in or underlie the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
Dependence on our Chief Executive Officer
We are dependent on the services of Mr. Clark A. Marcus, our Chief Executive Officer. The loss of his services would have a materially adverse effect on the performance and growth of our business for some period of time. We do not have any “Key Man” insurance for Mr. Marcus.
Our inability to renew, extend or replace expiring or terminated contracts in the near term could adversely affect our liquidity, profitability and financial condition.
Many of the contracts we service could be terminated immediately either for cause or without cause by the client upon notice of a specified time (typically between 30 and 60 days). The loss of one of these contracts could materially reduce our net revenue and have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, profitability and financial condition.
A compromise of our information systems or unauthorized access to confidential information or our customers personal information could materially harm our business and/or our reputation.
An effective and secure information system, available at all times, is vital to our individual and corporate customers. We collect and store confidential medical and personal from our customers. Certain of the information we collect is Personnel Health Information as that term is defined under HIPPA. We depend on our computer systems for significant service and management functions, such as providing membership monitoring, utilization, processing customer information, and providing regulatory data and other client and managerial reports. Although our computer and communications hardware is protected by physical and software safeguards and other internal controls, it is still vulnerable to computer hacking which if successful, could cause such information to be misappropriated. We could be subject to liability for failure to comply with HIPPA or other privacy laws. Any compromise of our systems or data could disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, and expose us to claims from customers. This could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not have 100% redundancy for all of our computer operations.
We are subject to intense competition that may prevent us from gaining new customers or pricing our contracts at levels sufficient to achieve gross margins to ensure profitability.
We are continually pursuing new business. Many of our competitors are significantly larger and better capitalized than we are. Our smaller size and weak financial condition have been a deterrent to some prospective customers. One of the general ways in which testing is presently done for OSA is a “sleep center”. These facilities are able to accept insurance. We are not presently credentialed to accept insurance. As a result, we may not be able to successfully compete in our industry in some respects.
-11-
Failure to adequately comply with HIPAA may result in penalties.
Our industry is subject to the security and privacy requirements of HIPAA relative to patients’ health information. Although we believe we are fully compliant with all HIPAA regulations, any assertions of lack of compliance with HIPAA regulations could result in penalties and have a material adverse effect on our ability to retain our customers or to gain new business.
We may require additional funding, and we cannot guarantee that we will find adequate sources of capital at acceptable terms in the future.
Our available revenue from operations is not currently sufficient to fund our business. If we are unable to increase our revenue from operations, we may need to seek new financing, possibly in the form of additional debt or equity (which could dilute current stockholders’ ownership interests). We cannot provide assurance that such additional funding will be available on acceptable terms.
Risks related to our common and preferred stock.
Our Series C Convertible Preferred stockholders have significant rights and preferences over the holders of our common stock and may be deemed to operate as an anti-takeover device.
Our Series C Convertible Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive dividends when declared by our Board of Directors before dividends are paid on our common stock and also have a claim against our assets senior to the claim of the holders of our common stock in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. The aggregate amount of that senior claim is currently $2,608,500. In addition, each Series C Convertible Preferred stockholder is entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock on an “as converted” basis, and, voting together as a separate class, all holders have the right to elect five of our nine directors to our Board of Directors. The holders by their ability to control a majority of our Directors may be deemed to be an anti-takeover device.
The holders of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock have other rights and preferences as detailed elsewhere in this report. These rights and preferences could adversely affect our ability to finance future operations, satisfy capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in our interest.
Our Series D Convertible Preferred stockholders have significant rights and preferences over the holders of our common stock and may be deemed to operate as an anti-takeover device.
We also have a class of convertible preferred stock, Series D, for which 7,000 shares are authorized and 250 shares have been issued. Subject to certain conditions, the shares do not vest until the tenth anniversary of the grant date of January 4, 2012, at which time each share will be convertible into 100,000 shares of common stock. Prior to vesting and thereafter, each Series D convertible preferred share is entitled to all voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights accorded a share of Series D convertible preferred stock. If a dividend is declared on the common stock, each share of Series D stock is entitled to receive a dividend equal to 50% of the dividend declared for the common stock as if the Series D stock had been converted. Despite their nonvested status, voting rights of each share nevertheless consist of the right to cast the number of votes equal to those of 500,000 shares of common stock. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, holders of shares of Series D have the right to vote together with holders of common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. The holders by virtue of their superior voting rights may be deemed to operate as an anti-takeover device.
-12-
The holders of our Series D Preferred Stock may be deemed to control the Company as they have the ability to elect a majority of the members of the Board of Directors.
We may raise additional funds in the future through issuances of securities and such additional funding may be dilutive to stockholders or impose operational restrictions.
To fund our operations, repay our existing debt and grow our business we may raise additional capital in the future through sales of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock or through debt. Such additional financing may be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve significant interest costs and/or restrictive covenants which may limit our operating flexibility.
Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” may limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock which, along with our small public capitalization may affect the trading price of our common stock and may subject us to securities litigation.
Our common stock is a “penny stock” as defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act and is accordingly subject to SEC rules and regulations that impose limitations upon the manner in which our common stock may be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations may have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock. In addition, the size of our public market capitalization is relatively small, resulting in highly limited trading volume in, and high volatility in the price of, our common stock.

OVERVIEW
Throughout the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company continued its marketing and sales efforts with respect to agreements and relationships established during the first three quarters of 2018. It focused on establishing additional relationships within its existing market (referrals from occupational healthcare clinics) and establishing a foothold in other markets, such as pain clinics, behavioral healthcare and sports medicine.
The Company’s sales in 2018, while not increasing, stayed consistent with sales in 2017. However, as a result of its marketing efforts, a substantial number of new relationships were established in 2018 which management believes will, in combination with its existing accounts, produce substantial revenues in 2019. The overwhelming majority of its revenues in 2018 were generated principally through its relationship with one of the nation’s largest occupational healthcare providers, who referred a significant number of their patients to the Company for sleep apnea screening, testing and treatment. During 2018, that account was acquired by an even larger national healthcare provider, and throughout 2018, these providers actively engaged in the integration of their two systems.
Not seeking to cause any disruption in their integration process and in consultation with the provider, the Company all but totally suspended its marketing activities with respect to visiting the provider’s various clinics throughout the U.S. Those visits were, in management’s view, the main impetus for the Company achieving referrals from these clinics as it had done in 2017. Instead, the Company devoted a large amount of time to expanding its business to additional clinics and, as aforesaid, other markets with a view towards 2019. The Company anticipated that while its sales would decrease in 2018 as a result of the suspension of such marketing activities, once the integration of the two clinic chains was completed, those sales would not only return to their prior levels but will materially increase. In furtherance of that plan, the Company also pursued an opportunity with its existing clinic account designed to have the Company designated as the collective chains’ sleep apnea provider, nationwide.
Remarkably, the Company’s revenue from its existing clinic account did not materially decrease but continued, as before. Management believes this was a result of the Company’s prior successful efforts with this account, and the reputation it had established over the preceding three plus years. We believe the aforesaid integration process will soon be completed allowing the Company to resume its now well-established marketing efforts of, among other things, having its field representatives periodically visit the combined chain of clinics. We are also confident that the Company will be designated as the national sleep apnea provider for the combined clinic chain in 2019. The chain reportedly is in excess of 700 clinics, nationwide.
24
The pause in our sales efforts with the clinics allowed the Company, throughout 2018 (with an emphasis on the third and fourth quarters of 2018), to materially penetrate the third party payor market such that going into 2019, the Company now has, in addition to its clinic accounts, a significant number of third party payor accounts. These include unions, municipalities, school districts and small to mid-size corporations – all authorizing us to bill them directly for providing our sleep apnea services to their members/employees.
We expect our relationship with the combined clinic chain, coupled with the new business relationships established primarily during the third and fourth quarters of 2018, will result in a material increase in revenue to the Company without a concomitant increase in expenses. The Company has prepared, internally, for the anticipated increase in its business and the manpower burden this might place on the Company.

Explanations of variations by line item follow:
Executive compensation and payroll related expenses decreased $2,441,316. Mr. Marcus agreed to reduce his annual base compensation from approximately $2,100,000 in 2017 to $200,000 and to accept common stock purchase warrants totaling 833,333 in lieu of his 2018 compensation.

Payroll related expenses increased $37,880. As the Company began to expand operations it hired additional personnel and began paying commission.
Travel expense was $373,959 lower due to the sales force having cutback on traveling to trade shows and visiting existing and potential clinics. The sales force and supporting forces were most active in 2017 in building up new clientele while in 2018 expanding the services offered to current clientele from local to national.
Professional Fees increased $71,944. In 2018, PVMS hired an outside accountant and for the Company as a whole, whom we pay $7,000 per month. There was a consultant who we paid $15,000 to improve social media activities and transition us to an app-based platform. Legal fees decreased by approximately $26,000 due to decreased litigation expenses.
Advertising decreased $32,108 due to minimized attendance at trade shows and magazine product placements in trade journals.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the year ended December 31, 2018, we funded our operations from revenues and private borrowings. We will continue to fund our operations from these sources until we are able to produce operating revenue sufficient to cover our cost structure. In the event we are not able to secure such funding, our operations will be adversely affected.
Short Term: We funded our operations with revenues from sales and private borrowings.
Subsequent to 2018, we issued $480,000 of promissory notes through April 26, 2019.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments to develop the amounts reflected and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the appropriateness of our estimates and we maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue recognition. The Company is on an accrual basis and revenue is recognized when billed, which is approximately when the testing service is performed or CPAP machine is shipped.
Income taxes. Computing our provision for income taxes involves significant judgment and estimates particularly in relation to the determination of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (primarily from net operating loss carryforwards). See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
Stock-based compensation. We issue various stock-based compensation awards to our employees and members of our Board of Directors. We account for the awards in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” and measure compensation cost for stock options at fair value on the grant date and recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the service period for those options expected to vest. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires us to use certain variable assumptions for input, to calculate the fair value of a stock award on the grant date. These assumptions, which are set forth in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements variables include the expected volatility of our stock price, award exercise behaviors, the risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. We use significant judgment in estimating expected volatility of the stock, exercise behavior and forfeiture rates developing our assumptions as follows:
Expected Volatility
We estimate the volatility of the share price by using historical data of our traded stock in combination with our expectation of the extent of fluctuation in future stock prices. We believe our historical volatility is more representative of future stock price volatility and as such it has been given greater weight in estimating future volatility.
28
Expected Term
A variety of factors are considered in determining the expected term of options granted. Options granted are grouped by their homogeneity based on the optionees’ position, whether managerial or clerical, and length of service and turnover rate. Where possible, we analyze exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. For any group without sufficient information, we estimate the expected term of the options granted by averaging the vesting term and the contractual term of the options.
Expected Forfeiture Rate
We generally separate our option awards into two groups: employee and non-employee awards. The historical data of each group are analyzed independently to estimate the forfeiture rate of options at the time of grant. These estimates are revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from estimated forfeitures.
Risk-free Interest Rate
We estimate the risk-free interest rate by reference to the interest rate for a U.S. Treasury constant maturity security with the same estimated term as the stock based award being issued.
Expected Dividends
No dividends are expected to be paid for the expected life of the instruments; therefore, we assume a dividend rate of zero.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent Accounting Standards Update - Recently various new ASUs were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Management has determined based on their review that the following ASUs issued will be applicable to the Company. As new ASUs are released, Management will assess if they are applicable and, if they are applicable, the effect will be included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which significantly changes the accounting for a lessee. Under previous guidance, lessees did not have to record a lease it designated as operating on its balance sheet. Under the new guidance, a lessee must record a liability for lease payments (referred to as the lease liability) and an asset for the right to use the leased asset during the lease term (referred to as the right of use asset) for all leases, regardless of whether they are designated as finance or operating leases. If a lessee has a lease with a term of 12 months of less, it may make an accounting policy election (by leased asset class) not to recognize lease assets or lease liabilities. This election generally requires the lessee to recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for public entities, not-for-profit entities that have issued (including conduit bond obligors) securities that are traded, listed, or quoted on an exchange or an over-the-counter market, and employee benefit plans that file financial statements with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All other entities must apply the ASU to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Any entity may early adopt the ASU. Management has determined that when this guidance is adopted the impact will be properly reflected in the financial statements and notes thereto. Management has determined that the adoption of this guidance will not have any impact on the financial statements and notes thereto.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management of Advanzeon Solutions, Inc. is responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures must ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial and other required disclosures.
At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision of our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Based upon this evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, it was concluded that during the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were not optimally effective. This was due to our limited resources, including the absence of a financial staff with accounting and financial expertise and deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our disclosure controls and that may be considered to be “material weaknesses.”
- 30 -
To address these weaknesses, management plans to hire and designate an individual responsible for identifying reportable developments and to implement procedures designed to remedy material weaknesses by focusing additional attention and resources in our internal accounting functions. However, the material weaknesses will not be considered remedied until applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded that these controls are operating effectively.
Our CFO, who is also a member of our Board of Directors, was appointed CFO in April 2018. He will directly oversee our efforts to remedy material weaknesses. Additionally, in January 2018, we retained the services of an outside accounting firm (“Outside Accountant”) to work with our CFO in the implementation of the remedial process. Our CFO does not maintain an office in the Company, and we do not compensate him for his services.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; (iii) provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and (iv) provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because changes in conditions may occur or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. This evaluation was based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based upon such assessment, our CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, our internal controls over financial reporting were not optimally effective in the specific areas described in the paragraphs below.
As of December 31, 2018, our current CFO identified the following specific material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over its financial reporting processes:
● | Policies and Procedures for the Financial Close and Reporting Process – During the period of this report, the Company’s policies or procedures did not clearly define the roles in the financial reporting process. The various roles and responsibilities related to this process should be defined, documented, updated and communicated. Not having clear policies and procedures in place amounts to a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over its financial reporting processes. |
- 31 -
● | Representative with Financial Expertise – For the years prior to the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company did not continuously have an employee with the requisite knowledge and expertise to review the financial statements and disclosures at a sufficient level to monitor the financial statements and disclosures to the Company. Failure to have, continuously, an employee with such knowledge and expertise amounts to a material weakness to the Company’s internal controls over its financial reporting processes. |
As a result of our retaining the services of an Outside Accountant in January 2018 and appointing an internal Company employee to interface with the Outside Accountant, we have instituted the following policies and procedures designed to address the material weaknesses cited above.
● | All billing invoices prepared by the billing department are sent to the Outside Accountant for review and approval before sending out to the customer. |
● | Copies of all incoming payable invoices are sent to the Outside Accountant for review, approval and data entry into the accounting system. That way Corporate Office has the originals and the outside accountants have duplicate copies. Accounts Payable Aging Report is sent once a week from the Outside Accountants to the Corporate office. The Corporate office, along with Outside Accountants, decide on which bills to pay weekly. Electronic payments have a duel control approval system (one person is initiating the payment and another person is approving the payment). |
● | Paperwork on all customer invoices, credit card payments and check payments received at Corporate are copied and forwarded to Outside Accountants. Customer invoices are recorded daily. Customer payments received are recorded daily. Customer payments are reconciled with the bank on a daily basis. Aged Accounts Receivable Reports are sent to Corporate by the Outside Accountants with suggestions on a regular basis. |
● | All bank accounts are reconciled monthly. |
● | Financial Statements are prepared and reviewed monthly. |
The Company plans to further augment its addressing of material weaknesses, on an as-needed basis, by hiring additional accounting personnel once its initial corrective steps have been fully implemented, tested and found to be effective.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, an officer, director or greater than 10% stockholder of our outstanding common stock must file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our equity securities. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all such reports they file. Based solely upon a review of Section 16(a) reports furnished to us, we believe all such entities or persons subject to the Section 16(a) reporting requirements have complied with applicable filing requirements during 2014, with the exception of the following:
Board Leadership Structure
Our Board is led by its Chairman, Mr. Clark A. Marcus, who is also CEO of the Company. We believe that having our CEO serve as Chairman of the Board provides us with unified leadership and direction and strengthens the ability of the CEO to develop and implement strategic initiatives and respond efficiently to various situations. The Board is aware of the potential conflicts that may arise when an insider chairs the Board but believes any such conflicts are offset by the fact that independent directors comprise a majority of the Board and each of its committees. The committees facilitate deeper analysis of various matters and promote regular monitoring of our activities in their advisory role to the Board. At present, the Board believes that its current structure effectively maintains independent oversight of management and that having an independent director as Chair is unnecessary. The Board has the ability to quickly adjust its leadership structure should business or managerial conditions change.
Governance and Nominating Committee
Our Board does not utilize a separate Governance and Nominating Committee. Instead, our full Board performs the functions that are normally the responsibility of a Governance and Nominating Committee. In considering candidates for open Board positions, diversity of background and personal experience is considered by the Board in assembling a group of individuals that will work well together in overseeing our affairs. Although we do not have a formal diversity policy, the Board considers, among other things, diverse business experiences, the candidate’s range of experiences with public companies, and racial and gender diversity in evaluating Board candidates. While diversity in background in directors is important, it does not necessarily outweigh other attributes or factors the Board may consider in evaluating any particular candidate.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics applicable to all of our employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial and accounting officer and persons performing similar functions. The text of this code of ethics can be found on our website at www.Advanzeon.com. We intend to post notice on our website of any waiver from, or amendment to, any provision of our code of ethics.

Audit Committee
Although we are not required to have an Audit Committee, we maintain one whose primary function is to assist the Board of Directors (“the Board”) in the oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, the identification and management of risk, and in evaluation of the performance of our independent auditor. As of December 31, 2018, the Audit Committee of our Board consisted of Arnold B. Finestone (Chairman) and Arthur K. Yeap. The Board of Directors has determined that, although not applicable in our case, all members of the Committee nevertheless were independent as defined in Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards and SEC Rule 10A-3, and that Dr. Finestone qualifies as a “financial expert,” as defined by Item407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.
Compensation and Stock Option Committee
The purpose of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee is to determine, or recommend to the Board for determination, the direct and indirect compensation of the CEO and all other officers and to administer any incentive compensation plans from which stock options and other stock based awards may be granted. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of our Board consisted of Arthur K. Yeap (Chairman), Sharon Kay Ray, and Arnold B. Finestone.
Compensation Consultants
We did not use any compensation consultants during 2018.
Indemnification Matters
In connection with our indemnification program for executive officers and directors, Mr. Marcus as well as eleven former key management employees, directors, or subsidiary directors, 26 former directors, and 19 former officers are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Indemnification Agreements.

The following table sets forth the cash and non-cash compensation for our named executive officers for 2018:

President |
(1) In July 2018, Mr. Marcus and Mr. Heidt both agreed to reduce their annual base compensation and to accept common stock purchase warrants in lieu of their respective cash compensation for 2018. Mr. Marcus agreed to an annual base compensation of $200,000. Mr. Heidt agreed to an annual base compensation of $125,000. The warrants have a term of five years and an exercise price that is fifty percent above the closing bid price as of the Company’s Common Stock as of July 11, 2018. We do not recognize any compensation costs related to the issuance of warrants to Messrs. Marcus and Heidt.
Executive Employment Agreements
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
On May 11, 2009, we executed an employment agreement with our Chairman of the Board and CEO, Clark A. Marcus. Mr. Marcus’ employment contract has a term of three years and includes an initial base salary of $700,000 per annum. As of December 31, 2017, the base salary for Mr. Marcus was $2,141,316. This compensation may, at our election, be accrued, in whole or in part, until such time as we receive financing and/or generate sufficient cash flows with which to pay Mr. Marcus his stated compensation, after the payment of our operating expenses.
Upon execution of the agreement in 2009, Mr. Marcus was paid an $80,000 signing bonus. In addition, Mr. Marcus is entitled to receive a special annual bonus in an amount equal to one percent of our pre-tax profits from the preceding year (as determined by the application of generally accepted accounting principles), up to the first $1,000,000 of such profits; plus, an additional sum equal to two percent of our pre-tax profits for all sums over $1,000,000. Mr. Marcus may also receive a bonus determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
In November 2011, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee modified Mr. Marcus’ employment agreement to state that it will not be deemed to have begun until all outstanding, deferred salary and bonus amounts have been paid, at which time the employment agreement will then proceed for a term of five years. In addition, Mr. Marcus will receive an annual increase on January 1st of each year the contract is effective, with such increase equal to the greater of 15% or the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for the Tampa Bay metropolitan area for the preceding year. Furthermore, the Company will continue to pay the premiums on Mr. Marcus’ life insurance policies existing and following the termination of his employment through his 81st birthday.
- 37 -
In the event Mr. Marcus’ employment is terminated without cause, or Mr. Marcus terminates his employment within 12 months from a change in control, we will pay to Mr. Marcus a lump sum amount equal to the aggregate of (i) accrued unpaid salary, if any; (ii) accrued but unpaid expenses, if any; (iii) accrued but unpaid bonuses, if any; (iv) unissued warrants, if any; and (v) the total compensation which would have been paid to Mr. Marcus through five full years of compensation from the date of termination. In July 2018, Mr. Marcus agreed to reduce his annual base compensation to $200,000. He also agreed to accept 833,333 common stock purchase warrants in lieu of his 2018 compensation. At December 31, 2018, we had accrued approximately $7,883,802 of compensation and bonuses to Mr. Marcus.
President
Mr. Mark Heidt was appointed President in September 2014 and entered into an employment agreement at that time. The term is one year with automatic one year renewals unless sooner terminated by either party upon 120 days’ notice. The annual compensation is $300,000. In July 2018, Mr. Heidt agrees to reduce the annual compensation to $125,000. He also agreed to accept 520,833 common stock purchase warrant in lieu of his 2018 compensation. At December 31, 2018, we had accrued approximately $990,000 in compensation to Mr. Heidt.

Director Independence
Although we are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and therefore not subject to its requirements, we nevertheless have used the definition of “independent” set forth in Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards for the purpose of determining the independence of our directors and members of a committee of our Board of Directors. Such standards define an independent director, generally, as one who has no material relationship with us, has not been employed by us within the last three years, has not received compensation from us in excess of $120,000 other than director and committee fees, is not related to a person who is a partner or employee of our external auditor, is not related to any of our officers, and is not an officer or owner of a business having transactions with us that exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of our consolidated gross revenues.
The following is a list of individuals that served as a director at any point during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K and that were considered independent:
Arnold B. Finestone (1) | |
Sharon Kay Ray | |
Arthur K. Yeap |
(1) Mr. Finestone was appointed our Chief Financial Officer in April 2018.
There were no transactions, relationships, or arrangements considered by the Board of Directors in determining that a director is independent other than those described immediately above under the caption “Transactions with Related Persons”.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANTS’ FEES AND SERVICES
Audit and Related Fees
The firm of Louis Plung & Company, LLP (“Louis Plung”) currently serves as our independent registered public accounting firm to perform audits and to prepare our income tax returns. The Audit Committee approved 100% of the services described below for audit fees.
Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by Louis Plung for services relative to audits of our annual consolidated financial statements conducted for 2018 were $25,000.
Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors
The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm and assure that the provision of such services does not impair the firm’s independence. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Management is required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.

December 31, 2018 and 2017
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Advanzeon Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanzeon Solutions, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 | DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advanzeon Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, each with their respective subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as, the “Company”, “Advanzeon”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).
NOTE 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Established in 1969, Advanzeon Solutions, Inc., (formerly Comprehensive Care Corp.) (“Advanzeon”, “we”, “Parent”, or the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Pharmacy Value Management Solutions, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries during 2015, and partly in 2016, provided managed care services by acting as the administrator for certain administrative service agreements in the behavioral health and substance abuse fields. We primarily offered these services to commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) health plans, as well as self-insured companies. Our managed care operations consisted solely of servicing administrative service agreements. Starting in July of 2015, we implemented our comprehensive sleep apnea program, called “SleepMaster Solutions” ™. SleepMaster Solutions (“SMS”) utilizes an administrative system for the convenient identification/testing and therapy of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (“OSA”). We partnered with a national health care provider by initiating a sleep apnea wellness program whereby we screened, tested and when needed, offered a treatment programs for treating this disorder. We also contracted with a union to treat its driver members. Beginning in 2017, our only business was our SMS sleep apnea program.
The Company has elected to not adopt the option available under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to measure any eligible financial instruments or other items at fair market value at this time. Accordingly, the Company measures all of its assets and liabilities on the historical cost basis of accounting, except as otherwise required by GAAP.
Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain minor reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates involved in the determination of an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and accrued claims payable, including incurred but not reported, are considered by management as particularly susceptible to material change in the next year. Other significant estimates relate to stock-based compensation, valuation of goodwill, warrants and beneficial conversion features.
Accounts Receivable - Accounts and notes receivable are carried at estimated collectible value. Since customer credit is generally extended on a short-term basis, accounts receivable does not bear interest and are uncollateralized. We manage credit risk and determine necessary allowances by evaluating customers’ credit worthiness before extending credit and periodically for collectability, based primarily on customers’ past credit history and current financial conditions and general economic conditions, results of prior collection efforts, the relative strength of our relationship therewith and, in the event of a dispute, its legal position and the estimated cost of proposed collection proceedings. Management has not established a policy for when to charge off uncollectible accounts receivable or to use external collection agencies and makes such decisions on a case-by-case basis. The maximum losses that the Company would incur if a customer failed to pay would be limited to the carrying value of the receivable after any related allowances provided.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Leasehold Improvements - Leasehold improvement (Note 4) is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 12 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the asset’s useful life.
Fair Value Measurements - The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their estimated fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Since our other financial liabilities are not traded in an open market, we generally use a present value technique, which is a level 3 input, as defined in GAAP, to measure the estimated fair value of these financial instruments, except for valuing stock options and warrants (see below). The rate used for discounting expected cash flows is a risk-free rate adjusted for systematic and unsystematic risk.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of long-term debt at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||||||||||
Carrying Amount | Estimated Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Estimated Fair Value | |||||||||||||
Convertible promissory notes | $ | 10,087,939 | $ | — | $ | 8,461,795 | $ | — | ||||||||
Loans payable related party | 737,023 | — | 3,019,923 | — | ||||||||||||
$ | 10,824,962 | $ | — | $ | 11,481,718 | $ | — |
Revenue recognition - The Company is on an accrual basis and revenue is recognized when billed, which is approximately when the testing service is performed or CPAP machine is shipped.
Cost of Revenues - Costs of revenues consist of supplies and operating expense. Supplies are recognized in the period in which a patient actually receives the supplies.
Legal Defense Costs - We accrue an estimate of incurred legal defense costs to be incurred in connection with pending disputes and litigation matters as part of our estimated minimum probable losses (see Note 13).
Income Taxes - We are subject to the income tax jurisdictions of the U.S. and multiple state tax jurisdictions. However, our provisions for income taxes for 2018 include only state income taxes (see Note 16).
Management has evaluated our tax positions taken or to be taken on income tax returns that remain subject to examination (i.e., tax years 2008 and thereafter federally), and has concluded that there have been no uncertain tax positions (as defined in GAAP) taken that require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. In the event of any income tax-related interest or penalties are incurred, they would be included in general and administrative expense.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Stock Options and Warrants - We grant stock options and warrants (see Note 14) to our non-employee directors, note holders and certain consultants and clients allowing them to purchase our common stock pursuant to approved terms. The estimated value of the warrants issued with debt instruments is recorded as a discount on notes payable and amortized as interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.
We use a Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of options and warrants on the measurement date and for determining the allocation of the relative values of debt and warrants. In applying the model, we use level 3 inputs, as defined by GAAP, consisting of historical data and management judgment to estimate the expected terms of the instruments. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our traded stock. We do not expect to pay dividends for the period of the expected life of the instruments, and therefore we assume no expected dividend. The assumed risk-free rates used are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve with the same expected terms as those of the equity instruments at the time of grant.
The following table lists the assumptions utilized in applying the Black-Scholes valuation model for options and warrants.
Year ended December 31, | ||||||||

Expected volatitily | 160 | % | 160 | % | ||||

Recent Accounting Standards Update - Recently various new ASUs were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Management has determined based on their review that the following ASUs issued will be applicable to the Company. As new ASUs are released, Management will assess if they are applicable and, if they are applicable, the effect will be included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which significantly changes the accounting for a lessee. Under previous guidance, lessees did not have to record a lease it designated as operating on its balance sheet. Under the new guidance, a lessee must record a liability for lease payments (referred to as the lease liability) and an asset for the right to use the leased asset during the lease term (referred to as the right of use asset) for all leases, regardless of whether they are designated as finance or operating leases. If a lessee has a lease with a term of 12 months of less, it may make an accounting policy election (by leased asset class) not to recognize lease assets or lease liabilities. This election generally requires the lessee to recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for public entities, not-for-profit entities that have issued (including conduit bond obligors) securities that are traded, listed, or quoted on an exchange or an over-the-counter market, and employee benefit plans that file financial statements with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All other entities must apply the ASU to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Any entity may early adopt the ASU. Management has determined that when this guidance is adopted the impact will be properly reflected in the financial statements and notes thereto.
Reclassification – Certain 2017 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2018 consolidated financial statement presentation.

NOTE 14 | EQUITY INSTRUMENTS |
Our Series C preferred stock is currently convertible into common stock at the rate of 316.28 common shares for each share of Series C preferred, adjustable for any dilutive issuances of common occurring in the future. Series C preferred shares vote with the common stockholders on an as-converted basis. The shares are nonparticipating except that dividends, when declared by our Board of Directors on the common stock, must be paid on the Series C stock on an as-converted basis before any dividends are paid on our common stock. The Series C is also cumulative with respect to dividends on common stock and junior series of preferred stock. Other significant rights and preferences of the Series C preferred include:
● | the right to vote as a separate class to appoint five directors of the Company, and |
● | liquidation preferences, whereby the Series C holders have a claim against our assets senior to the claim of the holders of our common stock in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up (the value of the liquidation preference is $250 per share, or approximately $2,608,500 at December 31, 2018 and 2017). |
We also have a class of convertible preferred stock, Series D, for which 7,000 shares are authorized and 250 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2018. The shares, which were granted in January 2012, do not vest until the tenth anniversary of the grant date. Such shares were issued in exchange for the cancellation of 120 previously granted warrants to purchase Series D shares. Once vested, a Series D preferred share will be convertible at any time into 100,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of any common stock dividend, split, combination thereof or other similar recapitalization, without additional consideration. Prior to vesting and thereafter, each Series D convertible preferred share is entitled to all voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights accorded a share of Series D convertible preferred stock. As to dividends, the Series D stock is noncumulative. If a dividend is declared on the common stock, each share of Series D stock is entitled to receive a dividend equal to 50% of the dividend declared for the common stock as if the Series D stock had been converted. Despite their nonvested status, voting rights of each share nevertheless consist of the right to cast the number of votes equal to those of 500,000 shares of common stock. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, holders of shares of Series D have the right to vote together with holders of common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders.

OPTIONS:
From time-to-time, we grant stock options as compensation for services to our employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants (“grantees”) allowing grantees to purchase our common stock pursuant to stockholder-approved stock option plans. We currently have one active incentive qualified option plan, 2009 Equity Compensation Plan, that provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights, restricted preferred stock, and common stock grants to grantees. Grants issued under the Plans may qualify as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Options for ISOs may be granted for terms of up to ten years. For the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan, the vesting period is determined by our Compensation and Stock Option Committee. The exercise price for ISOs must equal or exceed the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The Plan also provide for the full vesting of all outstanding options under certain change of control events. The maximum number of common shares authorized for issuance under the plan is 50,000,000.

The Company is currently pursuing repayment of prior accounting fees paid to a previous accounting firm. The Company has filed a complaint and recorded a receivable of $24,617 for the fees paid.
NOTE 16 | INCOME TAXES |
The Company did not provide for income taxes with respect to differences between financial loss and taxable loss arising from the timing of when certain transactions are recorded for book purposes versus tax purpose. The Company has not filed federal or state income tax returns since 2012. The financial statements do not reflect any fines or penalties that may or may result from not filing the various income returns.
In prior years the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. For the 2018 tax year the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $40,900,000 for tax purposes. The carryforwards are available to offset taxable income of future periods and begin to expire after the Company’s 2024 tax year. Realization of the deferred tax benefit related to the carryforward is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in the future, against which the loss can be offset, which is not guaranteed.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as tax benefits of net operating loss carryforwards. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the following:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Net operating loss carryfoward | $ | 40,910,571 | $ | 45,740,224 | ||||
Depreciation | — | — | ||||||

ADVANZEON SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred losses in previous years. Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s previous losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2018.
The effective income tax rate varied from the statutory Federal tax rate as follows:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Federal statutory rate | 21 | % | 34 | % | ||||
Effect of net operating losses | (21 | )% | (34 | )% | ||||
Effective income tax rate | — | % | — | % |
The company’s effective tax rate is lower than what would be expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to income (loss) before taxes, primarily due to net operating loss carryforwards.
On December 22, 2017, the President signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R.1) (the “Act”). The Act includes a number of changes to existing tax law impacting businesses including, among other things, a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%. The rate reduction applies to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
As a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate under the Act, the Company had to revalue its net deferred tax liability, for the year ended December 31, 2017. The did not change the Company’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2018.
