Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
In February 2019, Applied UV, Inc. (the "Parent") was formed and incorporated in the State of Delaware for the intended purpose of holding the equity of SteriLumen, Inc. (“SteriLumen”), Munnworks, LLC (“Munnworks” and together with SteriLumen, the “Subsidiaries”) and other companies acquired or created by the Parent in the future. The Parent acquired the Subsidiaries pursuant to three share exchanges whereby the equity holders of the Subsidiaries exchanged all of their equity interests in the Subsidiaries for shares of voting stock of the Parent. As a result of the share exchanges, each Subsidiary became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent. The Parent and each Subsidiary are collectively referred to herein as (the "Company").
SteriLumen is engaged in the design, manufacture, assembly and distribution of (i) automated disinfecting mirror systems for use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities and (ii) air purification systems through its purchase of substantially all of the assets of Akida and KES as described below. Munnworks, LLC is engaged in the manufacture of fine mirrors specifically for the hospitality industry.
In February of 2021, the Company acquired all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Akida Holdings, LLC (“Akida”). At the time of this acquisition, Akida owned the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies, originally developed for NASA, with assistance from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, that uses a combination of UVC and a proprietary, titanium dioxide based photocatalyst that may help to accelerate the reopening of the global economy with applications in the hospitality, hotel, healthcare, nursing homes, grocer, wine, commercial buildings and retail sectors. The Airocide™ system has been used by brands and organizations such as NASA, Whole Foods, Dole, Chiquita, Opus One, Sub-Zero Refrigerators and Robert Mondavi Wines. Akida contracted KES Science & Technology, Inc. (“KES”) to manufacture, warehouse and distribute the Airocide™ system and Akida’s contractual relationship with KES was assigned to and assumed by the Company as part of the acquisition.
On September 28, 2021, the Company acquired all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of KES. At the time of the acquisition, KES was principally engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies and misting systems. KES also had the exclusive right to the sale and distribution of the Airocide™ system in certain markets. This acquisition consolidates all of manufacturing, sale and distribution of the Airocide™ system under the Sterilumen brand and expands the Company’s market presence in food distribution, post-harvest produce, wineries, and retail sectors. The Company sells its products throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Applied UV, Inc., Munnworks, LLC and SteriLumen, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read along with the Annual Report filed of the Company for the annual period ended December 31, 2020. The
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year then ended.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation and accounting for equity awards related to warrants and stock-based compensation, determination of fair value for derivative instruments, the accounting for business combinations and allocating purchase price, estimating the useful life of intangible assets, as well as the estimates related to accruals and contingencies.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and equivalents include highly liquid investments that have original maturities less than 90 days at the time of their purchase. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value because of their short maturities. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $7,938,791 and $0, respectively, in cash equivalents. The Company also maintains a restricted cash balance to satisfy its preferred shareholder redemption requirements (Refer to Note 8).
Accounts receivable
An allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is recorded when management believes the collectability of the accounts receivable is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is determined based on management’s review of the debtor’s ability to repay and repayment history, aging history, and estimated value of collateral, if any.
Inventory
Inventories, which consists of raw materials and finished goods is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) valuation method. Inventory costs are comprised primarily of product, freight and duty. The Company writes down inventory for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. The company did not have any reserves for inventory as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Business Acquisition Accounting
The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for those that meet the criteria of a business combination. The Company allocates the purchase price of its business acquisitions based on the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets. The difference between the total cost of the acquisition and the sum of the fair values of acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets less liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred in general and administrative expenses.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company has recorded intangible assets, including goodwill, in connection with business combinations. Estimated useful lives of amortizable intangible assets are determined by management based on an assessment of the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to future cash flows.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company tests these assets for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. For the purposes of that assessment, the Company has determined to assign assets acquired in business combinations to a single reporting unit including all goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired in business combinations.
Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns using the cash basis of accounting. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Current income taxes are based on the year's income taxable for federal and state tax reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement 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. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Derivative Instruments
The Company evaluates its warrants to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statements of operations as other income or expense.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. The Company has concluded that there are no such reclassifications required to be made as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2021.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model to value the derivative warrants as stipulated in the agreement for the warrant holders to receive cash based on that value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for loans payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of the financial instruments. The Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the number of potential shares of common stock that have been excluded from diluted net loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive:

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 ("ASC"), Compensation-Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock and modifications to existing stock options, to be recognized in the statements of operations based on their fair values over the requisite service period.
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligations in the client contract has been achieved. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer product to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of goods in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:
1) | Identify the contract with a customer. |
2) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract. |
3) | Determine the transaction price. |
4) | Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. |
5) | Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
For projects, that are completed within the Company’s facility, the company designs, manufactures and sells custom mirrors for hotels and hospitals through contractual agreements. These sales require the company to deliver the products within three to nine months from commencement of order acceptance. The Company recognizes revenue over time by using the input method based on costs incurred as it depicts our progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Under this method, revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognized as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations. Incurred costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Contract material costs are included in incurred costs when the project materials have been purchased or moved to work in process as required by the project’s engineering design. Cost based input methods of revenue recognition require us to make estimates of costs to complete the projects. In making such estimates, significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the costs to complete the projects, including materials, labor and other system costs. If the estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known and can be reasonably estimated. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed typically does not occur as the Company will not perform any work in excess of the amount the company bills to its customers. If work is performed in excess of amounts billed, the Company will record an unbilled receivable.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Each product or service delivered to a third-party customer that is manufactured by a third-party vendor is considered to satisfy a performance obligation. Performance obligations generally occur at a point in time and are satisfied when control of the goods passes to the customer. These sales are shipped from the manufacturer to the customer without our taking physical inventory possession. The Company reports direct sales on a gross basis, that is, the amounts billed to our customers are recorded as "Sales," and inventory purchased from manufacturers are recorded as cost of sales. The Company is the principal of direct sales because the Company has the risk of loss and we control the inventory before it is transferred to our customers. Our control is evidenced by us being primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to our customers, taking on inventory risk of returned product, and having discretion in establishing pricing. The Company typically pay our vendors a portion of the total cost up front and the remaining balance is accrued for and paid within 30 to 60 days of when the products are shipped from the third-party warehouse. Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced or deposits received from our customer for which the Company has not yet satisfied our performance obligation.
The company applied the five-step model to the sales of Akida Holdings, LLC's and KES Science and Technology, Inc.’s Airocide and misting system products. At contract inception and once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company sells Airocide air sterilization units and misting systems to both consumer and commercial customers. These products are sold both domestically and internationally. The cycle from contract inception to shipment of products is
typically one day to three months. The Company’s contracts for both its consumer and commercial customers each contain a single performance obligation (delivery of Airocide and KES products), as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct, as a result, the entire transaction price is allocated to this single performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenues at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product by the Company or upon customer pick-up via third party common carrier.

Advertising
Advertising costs consist primarily of online search advertising and placement, trade shows, advertising fees, and other promotional expenses. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $315,115 and $38,277, respectively. Advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $624,549 and $76,100.
Vendor deposits
Vendor payments to third manufactures are capitalized until completion of the project and are recorded as vendor deposits. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the vendor deposit balance was $966,166 and $40,800, respectively.
Patent Costs
The Company capitalizes costs consisting principally of outside legal costs and filing fees related to obtaining and maintaining patents. The Company amortizes patent costs over the useful life of the patent which is typically 20 years, beginning with the date the patent is filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or foreign equivalent. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, capitalized patent costs net of accumulated amortization was $185,132 and $178,088, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $7,030 and $0, respectively, of amortization expense for these patents. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $11,957 and $0, respectively, of amortization expense for these patents.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2019-12”): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years using the fully retrospective or modified retrospective method. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2022.
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. The Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued
standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
The Company accounted for the acquisitions (as described below) as business combinations using the purchase method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). In accordance with ASC 805 and ASC 820, the Company used its best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition dates. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The results of operations of the acquired businesses since the date of acquisition are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their preliminary estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, as determined by management. The purchase price allocations are preliminary and a final determination of purchase accounting adjustments, which may be material, will be made upon the finalization of the Company’s integration activities, which are expected to be completed during the year ended December 31, 2021. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The value of the goodwill from the acquisitions described below can be attributed to a number of business factors including cost synergies expected to be realized. The preliminary purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary valuations and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the purchase price allocation period (generally one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of the intangible assets acquired and the residual goodwill.
On February 8, 2021 Applied UV, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) by and among the Company, SteriLumen, Inc., a New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”) and Akida Holdings LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Seller”) pursuant to which the Purchaser acquired substantially all of the assets of the Seller and assumed certain of its current liabilities and contract obligations, as set forth in the APA (the “Acquisition”). In the Acquisition, the Purchaser acquired all the Seller’s assets and was assigned its contracts related to the manufacturer and sale of the Airocide™ system, originally developed for NASA with assistance from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, that uses a combination of UV-C and a proprietary, titanium dioxide-based photocatalyst that has applications in the hospitality, hotel, healthcare, nursing homes, grocer, wine, commercial buildings, and retail sectors. On February 8, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) the transactions contemplated by the APA were completed.

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Amendment of the Certificate of Designation
On June 17, 2021, the Company filed an amendment of the certificate of designation of Series A Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors, by unanimous written consent, duly adopted resolutions to amend the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations and changed the name from “Series A Preferred Stock” to “Series X Preferred Stock”. All dividend, liquidation preference, voting, conversion, and redemption rights, did not change from the originally filed Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock. There are 2,000 Series X Preferred Shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2021.
Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, the Company is authorized to designate and issue up to shares of preferred stock, par value $per share, in one or more classes or series . The Company had preferred shares designated as Series X Preferred Stock and shares of preferred stock authorized but undesignated and unissued.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company designated shares of preferred stock as 10.5% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). There are 552,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2021. Upon certain events, the Company may, subject to certain conditions, at the Company’s option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock. See below for a further description of the Series A Preferred Stock:
Dividends: Holders are entitled to receive, cumulative cash dividends at the annual rate of 10.5% on $25.00 liquidation preference per share of the Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock. Dividends accrue and are payable in arrears beginning August 15, 2021, regardless of whether declared or there are sufficient earnings or funds available for payment. Sufficient net proceeds from the offering must be set aside to pay dividends for the first twelve months from issuance. The company has classified $1,207,500 as restricted cash as of September 30, 2021 as a reserve to pay the remaining required dividends for the first year.

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued)
Redemption: Company has an optional redemption right beginning July 16, 2022, which redemption price declines annually. The initial redemption price after year 1 is $30 and decreases annually over 5 years to $25 per share. The Company also has a special optional redemption right upon the occurrence of a Delisting Event or Change of Control, as defined, at $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
Voting Rights: The holders have no voting rights, except for voting on certain corporate decisions, or upon default in payment of dividends for any twelve periods, in which case the holders would have voting rights to elect two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors.
Conversion Rights: Such shares are not convertible unless and until the occurrence of a Delisting Event or Change of Control and when the Company has not exercised its special optional redemption right. The conversion price would be the lesser of the amount converted based on the $25.00 liquidation preference plus accrued dividends divided by the common stock price of the Delisting Event or Change of Control (as defined) or $5.353319 (Share Cap). Effectively, the Share Cap limits the common stock price to no lower than $4.67.
Reverse Stock Split
In June of 2020, the Company effected a 5:1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) by filing an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Reverse Stock Split combined every five shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to effecting the Reverse Stock Split into one share of Common Stock. As a result, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock was retroactively adjusted in the consolidated financial statements.
2020 Incentive Plan
On March 31, 2020, the Company adopted the Applied UV, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with (post-split adjusted) shares of common stock available for issuance under the terms of the Plan. The Plan permits the granting of Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units and Other Awards. The objectives of the Plan are to optimize the profitability and growth of the Company through incentives that are consistent with the Company’s goals and that link the personal interests of Participants to those of the Company’s stockholders. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract and retain the services of Participants who make or are expected to make significant contributions to the Company’s success and to allow
Participants to share in the success of the Company. From time to time, the Company may issue Incentive Awards pursuant to the Plan. Each of the awards will be evidenced by and issued under a written agreement.
If an incentive award granted under the Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to the company in connection with an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for future awards under the Plan. The number of shares subject to the Plan, and the number of shares and terms of any Incentive Award may be adjusted in the event of any change in our outstanding common stock by reason of any stock dividend, spin-off, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares, or similar transaction. There are shares available for future grants under the plan. The Company also granted an additional 309,564 options outside of the plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Share-based compensation expense for options totaling $236,043 and $432,933 was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, based on awards vested. Share-based compensation expense for options totaling $763 and $1,474 was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, based on awards vested.
The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the options issued during the year was the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options.
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the options.
Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of peer entities over a period equal to the expected life of the awards. The Company uses the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price.
As of September 30, 2021, there was $2,379,978 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested employee options granted under the Company’s share-based compensation plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years.

NOTE 9 - LEASING ARRANGEMENTS
The Company determines whether an arrangement qualifies as a lease under ASC 842 at inception. The Company has operating leases for office space and office equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one year to seven years, some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to five years. The Company considered these options to extend in determining the lease term used to establish the Company’s right-of use assets and lease liabilities once reasonably certain of exercise. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made in advance of lease commencement and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms used in the calculations of the operating ROU assets and operating lease liabilities include options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercise those options. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate of 7.6% based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Munnworks, LLC entered into a lease agreement in Mount Vernon, New York for a term that commenced on April 1, 2019 and will expire on the 31st day of March 2024 at a monthly rate of $13,400. In March of 2021, the Company obtained additional lease space and the agreement was amended to increase rent expense to $15,000 per month. On July 1, 2021, the Company again obtained additional lease space and rent expense was increased to $27,500 per month through July 1, 2024 and $29,150 per month from July 1, 2024 through July 1, 2026.
On September 28, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement in Greenwood Village, Colorado for a term that commenced on September 29, 2021 and will expire on October 1, 2024, with a monthly rate of $14,729 for this first 12 months, $15,171 from months 13-24, and $15,626 from months 25-36.
Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $177,013 and $127,800, respectively. Rent expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $90,213 and $47,400, respectively. The lease can be cancelled by either party with 150 days of written notice.
Schedule maturities of operating lease liabilities outstanding as of September 30, 2021 are as follows:
For the Year Ended December 31,
2021 | $ | 126,686 | ||
2022 | 508,071 | |||
2023 | 513,413 | |||

Total lease payments | 2,153,402 | |||
Less: Imputed Interest | (326,939 | ) | ||
Present value of future minimum lease payments | $ | 1,826,463 |
Consistent with ASC 842-20-50-4, the Company calculated its total lease cost based solely on its monthly rent obligation. The Company had no cash flows arising from its lease, no finance lease cost, short term lease cost, or variable lease costs. The Company’s lease does not produce any sublease income, or any net gain or loss recognized from sale and leaseback transactions. As a result, the Company did not need to segregate amounts between finance and operating leases for cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities, segregated between operating and financing cash flows; supplemental non-cash information on lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets; weighted-average calculations for the remaining lease term; or the weighted-average discount rate.

NOTE 10 - PAYROLL PROTECTION PROGRAM
In April of 2020, the Company submitted a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) application to Chase Bank for a loan amount equal to $296,827. The amount was approved, and the Company has received the funds. The PPP Loan, which is in the form of a PPP promissory note and agreement, matures in April of 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum. The Lender will have 90 days to review borrower’s forgiveness application and the SBA will have an additional 60 days to review the Lender’s decision as to whether the borrower’s loan may be forgiven. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered utilities, and certain covered mortgage interest payments during the twenty-four-week period beginning on the date of first disbursement of the PPP Loan. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee earning more than $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 40% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%. The loan was forgiven in July of 2021 and in accordance with ASC 470, the amount was recorded as other income.
NOTE 11- NOTE RECEIVABLE- RELATED PARTY
The company contemplated an acquisition with an entity where certain board members of the Company were also board members of the potential acquiree. In February of 2021, the Company entered into a non-interest bearing note receivable agreement whereby the Company loaned $500,000 to the entity. The note receivable was recorded at cost basis which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instrument. The loan matures on the earlier of (i) 180 days from the issuance date or (ii) the closing of the transactions set forth in a definitive acquisition entered into between the lender and the borrower. In the event the loan is paid in full on or before the maturity date, there shall be no interest accrued or payable on the outstanding principal amount. If an acquisition occurs, the $500,000 will be applied against the total acquisition price. If the company decides not to execute a definitive agreement within 180 days from the issuance date, the maturity date shall be the one-year anniversary of the issuance date. The maturity date has since been extended to November 30, 2021. The balance of the note receivable was $500,000 as of September 30, 2021 and is included in current assets.
NOTE 12 - SEGMENT REPORTING
FASB Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. The Company has two reportable segments: the design, manufacture, assembly and distribution of disinfecting systems for use in healthcare, hospitality, and commercial municipal and residential markets (disinfection segment) and the manufacture of fine mirrors specifically for the hospitality industry (hospitality segment). The segments are determined based on several factors, including the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, customer base, delivery channels and similar economic characteristics.
An operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, segment selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development costs and stock-based compensation. It does not include other charges (income), net and interest and other, net.

NOTE 13 – RESTATEMENT
While preparing its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company identified an error in the timing of recognizing certain revenues. The Company erroneously recognized revenues in the amount of $234,570 in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $56,766 in the first quarter of 2020. These revenues should have been recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The tables below summarize the impact of the restatements described above on financial information previously reported on the Company’s Forms 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (note that there was no impact to the previously reported three months ended September 30, 2020 results):

Overview
The Company was formed on February 26, 2019 for the purpose of acquiring all of the equity of SteriLumen and Munnworks. The Company acquired all of the capital stock of SteriLumen in March of 2019 pursuant to two exchange agreements in which all of the stockholders of SteriLumen exchanged their shares in SteriLumen for shares of common stock and super voting preferred stock in the Company. The Company acquired all of the equity of Munnworks in July of 2019 pursuant to an exchange agreement in exchange for shares of common stock in the Company. The Company conducts all of its operations through SteriLumen and Munnworks.

SteriLumen was formed to engage in the design, manufacture, assembly and distribution of the SteriLumen Disinfecting System for use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The Company has received several patent approvals for the SteriLumen Disinfecting System from the United States and the European Union and is in the process of receiving approval from various countries including China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and the Gulf Cooperation Council. The technology of the SteriLumen Disinfecting System uses UVC LED embedded in various bathroom fixtures or as a stand-alone unit as a disinfection apparatus for use in inhabited facilities for killing airborne bacteria and other pathogens as well as killing bacteria and other pathogens residing on hard surfaces in proximity to the apparatus.
Following the Company’s initial public offering, product development efforts were accelerated. The system’s technology development roadmap, including connected and data-enabled capabilities has been refined and the Clarity D3 application will be launched along with the updated version of the SteriLumen Ribbon (now branded Lumicide™) in the fall of 2021. The Company has also achieved UL certification for both the stand-alone Ribbon, and integrated Drain products, ensuring that the Company meets requirements of commercial customers who rely on the UL mark as evidence of safety, quality, and reliability.
The Company works with distributors to sell both SteriLumen and Munnworks product lines, and is in the process of signing up new SteriLumen distributors of significant breadth and scale to introduce the SteriLumen products to new markets, including building management, commercial real estate, and environmental health and safety.
Munnworks is a manufacturer of custom designed fine mirrors specifically for the hospitality industry with one manufacturing facility in Mount Vernon, New York. Our goal is to contribute to the creation of what our design industry clients seek: manufacturing better framed mirrors on budget and on time. As part of our long-term strategy, the Company has instituted multi-site production for high-value items, complicated designs and finishes. Our headquarters in Mount Vernon, NY serves as the center for multi-country manufacturing. The Company works with a satellite network of artisans and craftsmen, including gilders, carvers, and old-world finishers.
In addition to our domestic partners, the Company maintains overseas production capability with on-site Munnworks employees. Moreover, as company policy, the Company conducts on-site factory visits for all in-process and outgoing orders, which are observed and checked by a project manager from our home office in Mount Vernon, NY before they leave our overseas partners’ facilities. The combination of quality, innovative, stylish merchandise, and value pricing has led us to develop a loyal customer base.
In February of 2021, the Company acquired all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Akida Holdings, LLC (“Akida”). At the time of the acquisition, Akida owned the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies, originally developed for NASA with assistance from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, that uses a combination of UVC and a proprietary, titanium dioxide based photocatalyst that may help to accelerate the reopening of the global economy with applications in the hospitality, hotel, healthcare, nursing homes, grocer, wine, commercial buildings and retail sectors. The Airocide™ system has been used by brands such as NASA, Whole Foods, Dole, Chiquita, Opus One, Sub-Zero Refrigerators and Robert Mondavi Wines. Akida had contracted KES Science & Technology, Inc. (“KES”) to manufacture, warehouse and distribute the Airocide™ system and Akida’s contractual relationship with KES was assigned to and assumed by the Company as part of the acquisition.
On September 28, 2021, the Company acquired all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of KES. At the time of the acquisition, KES was principally engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies and misting systems. KES also had the exclusive right to the sale and distribution of the Airocide™ system in certain markets. This acquisition consolidates all of manufacturing, sale and distribution of the Airocide™ system under the SteriLumen brand and expands the Company’s market presence in food distribution, post-harvest produce, wineries, and retail sectors. The Company sells its products throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Net sales and gross profit are the most significant drivers of our operating performance. Net sales consist of all sales to customers, net of returns. Our net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by 63.9% to $7,748,499 from $4,727,631 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Net sales of our hospitality sector for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $4,282,696, which is 9.4% below last year, but we continue to see improvement as the year progresses and the hospitality industry rebounds from the COVID-19 impact. Net sales of our disinfection segment contributed $3,465,803, primarily as a result of our Akida Holdings acquisition. that closed on February 8, 2021. We are experiencing some delays in one of our SteriLumen product lines that we anticipate will be resolved in the 4th quarter of this year.

Accordingly, gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales can be influenced by many factors including overall sales performance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, gross profit increased to $2,517,344 from $902,594 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 32.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 from 19.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily driven by our disinfection segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, gross profit from our hospitality segment was $1,103,361, or 23.7% vs. sales, as compared with the gross profit from our disinfection segment of $1,501,983, or 43.3% vs. sales. Throughout the pandemic the Company continued to retain direct labor employees in its hospitality segment to comply with payroll protection plan loan forgiveness criteria which was forgiven on July 7, 2021, in the amount of $296,827. Additionally, major components and cost drivers of our cost of sales is influenced by the cost of materials, shipping, overhead, and labor costs, which has become more of a challenge during this current supply chain environment.
Stock based compensation has increased due to the company’s adoption of its incentive plan and issuance of options and warrants during the quarter. On March 31, 2020, the Company adopted the Applied UV, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with 600,000 shares of common stock available for issuance under the terms of the Plan. The Plan permits the granting of Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units and Other Awards. Stock based compensation increased to $1,102,609 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $381,314 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to the timing of the hiring of key staff members and the new employment agreement for the President of Applied UV effective Q2 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses, including the costs of operating our corporate office, are also an important component of our operating performance. Compensation and benefits comprise most of our operating expenses. Selling, General and Administrative expenses contain fixed and variable costs and managing the operating expense ratio (operating expenses expressed as a percentage of net sales) is an important focus of management as we seek to increase our overall profitability. Operating expenses include cash costs as well as non-cash costs, such as depreciation and amortization associated with corporate property and equipment, and stock compensation expense. Operating expenses can also include certain costs that are of a one-time or non-recurring nature. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased to $5,888,863 from $1,443,276 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our hospitality segment and our disinfection segment increased to $1,791,835 and $4,097,028, respectively, from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $1,371,531 and $71,745, respectively. The increase in our hospitality segment was primarily due to an allocation of corporate executive management salaries and related corporate management expenses. The increase in our disinfection segment was also attributable to an allocation of corporate executive management salaries and related corporate management expenses. Additionally, the disinfection segment incurred costs associated with the establishment of a new line of business, including the hiring of key personnel, consulting, advertising, legal, accounting, etc. The disinfection segment also included the amortization of intangible assets from the Akida Holdings acquisition.
The Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of warrant liability in the amount of $148,882 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Warrants that were issued in connection with the November 2020 public offering contained a cash settlement feature which resulted in a warrant liability of $284,007 as of September 30, 2021. The fair market value of the warrant liability on the date of grant was $135,125 and was recorded as a reduction of Additional Paid in Capital.
Other Income includes the payroll protection program loan forgiveness of $296,827.
Benefit from Income Taxes of $101,354 is due to a loss carryback that was generated in the tax year ended December 31, 2020.
We recorded net loss of $4,251,341 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a net loss of $975,128 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The net loss in 2021 was due primarily to an increase in SG&A costs to improve future operations and expand the disinfection segment of our business.

Our net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by 127.6% to $3,551,564 from $1,560,633 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Due to the current supply chain/logistics environment, the Company has experienced delays in fulfilling orders in Q2 that have been pushed into both the 3rd and 4th quarters. The Hospitality segment increased by 12.1% to $1,750,227 in the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $1,560,633 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The balance of the increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is attributable to our disinfection segment in the amount of $1,801,337, primarily as a result of our Akida Holdings acquisition. We will begin to realize additional revenue in our disinfection segment in the fourth quarter of 2021 from our acquisitions of KES/JJS and Scientific Air Management.

The gross profit of the hospitality segment increased to $298,667, or 17.1% for the 3 months ended September 30,2021, and the disinfection segment contributed gross profit of $752,734, or 41.8%.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased to $2,256,757 from $624,228 in the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2021. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2021, due to the existence of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Financial Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board, senior management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
35 |
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 of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We continue to review our internal control over financial reporting and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the control deficiencies identified
during this evaluation and set forth below, our senior management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021 due to the existence of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as described below.
As set forth below, management will continue to take steps to remediate the control deficiencies identified below. Notwithstanding the control deficiencies described below, we have performed additional analyses and other procedures to enable management to conclude that our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company’s management has developed a remediation plan to address the material weakness and as of January 1, 2021 began using a new cloud-based software which tracks the progress of jobs and more accurately reflects the percentage of job completeness ensure such revenue is recognized in the appropriate period. In addition, the Company intends to further remediate the deficiency by performing the following:
• | design and implement additional internal controls and policies to ensure that we routinely review and document our application of established significant accounting policies; and |
• | implement additional systems and technologies to enhance the timeliness and reliability of financial data within the organization. |
• | continue to engage third-party subject matter experts to aid in identifying and applying US GAAP rules related to complex financial instruments as well as to enhance the financial reporting function. |
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
