BIOXYTRAN, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
Business Operations
Bioxytran, Inc. (the “Company”) is an early-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacture and commercialization of therapeutic drugs designed to address hypoxia in humans, which is a lack of oxygen to tissues, in a safe and efficient manner. If it is not addressed, lack of oxygen to tissues, or hypoxia, results in necrosis, which is the death of cells comprising body tissue. Necrosis cannot be reversed. Our lead drug candidate, code named BXT-25, is an oxygen-carrying small molecule consisting of bovine hemoglobin stabilized with a co-polymer with intended applications to include treatment of hypoxic conditions in the brain resulting from stroke, and hypoxic conditions in wounds to prevent necrosis and to promote healing. The Company’s initial focus is the treatment of hypoxic conditions in the brain resulting from stroke, and hypoxic conditions in wounds to prevent necrosis and to promote healing. Our novel approach is intended to result in the creation of safe drug alternatives to existing therapies for effectively addressing hypoxic conditions in humans. Our drug development efforts are guided by specialists in co-polymer chemistry and other disciplines, and we intend to supplement our efforts with input from a scientific and medical advisory board whose members are leading physicians.
Organization
Bioxytan, Inc. was organized on October 5, 2017 as a Delaware corporation, with a taxing structure for U.S. federal and state income tax as a C-Corporation with 95,000,000 authorized common shares with a par value of $0.0001, and 5,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001. On September 21, 2019, the Company went under a reorganization in form of a reverse merger and is currently registered as a Nevada corporation with a taxing structure for U.S. federal and state income tax as a C-Corporation with 300,000,000 authorized common shares with a par value of $0.001, and 50,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.001
Basis of Presentation
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements. The Company has not earned any revenue from operations since inception. The Company chose December 31st as its fiscal year end.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
Pursuant to the authoritative guidance, basic net income and net loss per share are computed by dividing the net income and net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income and net loss per share is the same as basic net income and net loss per share when their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect due to our continuing net losses.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bioxytran, Inc. a Nevada Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Bioxytran, Inc. of Delaware (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $43,891 and a negative working capital of $1,837,150. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not yet generated any revenues, and has incurred cumulative net losses of $2,781,800. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is aware that its current cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund its projected operating requirements through the month of June 2020, and is pursuing alternative opportunities to funding.
The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
The Company’s management do not foresee that COVID-19 has any impact for the Company and its ability to carry out their plans.
Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On March 31, 2020, there was $116,000 in accounts payable to related parties in form of payroll and accrued expenses. On December 31, 2019 there was $96,000 in Accounts payable to related parties.

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
As long as the following convertible notes remain outstanding, the Company is restricted from incurring any indebtedness or liens, except as permitted (as defined), and cannot amend its charter in any matter that materially effects rights of noteholders, repay or repurchase more than de minimis number of shares of common stock other than conversion or warrant shares, repay or repurchase all or any portion of any indebtedness, or pay cash dividends.
Auctus Note #1
On October 24, 2019 (the “Date of Issuance”) the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Auctus Note #1”) with a face value of $250,000, maturing on October 23, 2020, and a stated interest of 8% to a third-party investor. The Auctus Note #1 is convertible into common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at any time after the earlier of: (i) 180 days from the date of the Auctus Note #1, or (ii) upon effective date of a registration statement. The conversion price of the Auctus Note #1 is equal to the lesser of : (i) the lowest trading price for the twenty-day period prior to the date of the Auctus Note #1 or (ii) 65% of the average of the three lowest trading prices during the twenty days prior to a conversion notice on the applicable trading market or the closing bid price on the applicable trading market. The Auctus Note #1 was funded on October 29, 2019, when the Company received proceeds of $222,205, after disbursements for the lender’s transaction costs, fees and expenses which in aggregate resulted in a total discount of $27,795 to be amortized to interest expense over the life of the Auctus Note #1.
Additionally, the variable conversion rate component requires that the Auctus Note #1 be valued at its stock redemption value (i.e., “if-converted” value) pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, with the excess over the undiscounted face value being deemed a premium to be added to the principal balance and amortized to additional paid-in capital over the life of the Auctus Note #1. As such, the Company recorded a premium of $343,796 as a reduction to additional paid-in capital based on a discounted “if-converted” rate of $0.21 per share (65% of the average of the three lowest trading prices during the 20 days preceding the note’s issuance), which computed to 1,211,828 shares of ‘if-converted’ common stock with a redemption value of $593,796 due to $0.49 per share fair market value of the Company’s stock on the Auctus Note #1’s date of issuance. Debt discount amortization is recorded as interest expense, while debt premium amortization is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
Along with the Auctus Note #1, on the Date of Issuance the Company issued 208,333 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”), exercisable immediately at a fixed exercise price of $0.60 with an expiration date of October 23, 2023. The Company has determined that the Warrants are exempt from derivative accounting and were valued at $101,937 on the Date of Inception using the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model. Assumptions used for the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model include (1) stock price of $0.49 per share, (2) exercise price of $0.60 per share, (3) term of 5 years, (4) expected volatility of 251% and (5) risk free interest rate of 2.51%. The note proceeds of $250,000 were then allocated between the fair value of the Auctus Note #1 ($250,000) and the Warrants ($101,937), resulting in a debt discount of $72,412. As the warrants were exercisable immediately, this debt discount was amortized in its entirety to interest expense on the Date of Issuance. Upon cashless conversion on March 12, 2020 an additional 166,667 warrants were issued for a market value of $66,363.
The Auctus Note #1 was paid off on October 24, 2019, and the warrants were converted on March 12,2020
Auctus Note #2
On February 25, 2019, the Company entered into a $250,000 Senior Secured Promissory Note (“the Auctus Note #2”), dated February 25, 2019 at an interest rate of 8% per annum, maturing on February 24, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). Issuance fees totaling $27,750 were recorded as a debt discount, resulting in net proceeds of $222,250. The Auctus Note #2 is convertible into common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at any time after the earlier of: (i) 180 days from the date of the Auctus Note #2 or (ii) upon effective date of a new registration statement. The conversion price of the Auctus Note #2 is equal to the lesser of : (i) the lowest trading price for the twenty-day period prior to the date of the Auctus Note #2 or (ii) 65% of the average of the three lowest trading prices during the twenty days prior to a conversion notice on the applicable trading market or the closing bid price on the applicable trading market. The Company may prepay the Auctus Note #2 at any time at a rate of 120% of outstanding principal and interest during the first 90 days it is outstanding and 130% of outstanding principal and interest for the next 90 days thereafter. Thereafter the prepayment amount increases 5% for each thirty-day period until 270 days from the issue date at which time it is fixed at 150% of the outstanding principal and interest on the Auctus Note #2.
Additionally, the variable conversion rate component requires that the Auctus Note #2 be valued at its stock redemption value (i.e., “if-converted” value) pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, with the excess over the undiscounted face value being deemed a premium to be added to the principal balance and accreted to additional paid-in capital over the life of the Auctus Note #2. As such, the Company recorded a premium of $82,500 as a reduction to additional paid-in capital based on a discounted “if-converted” rate of $0.20 per share (lowest trading price during the 20 days preceding the note’s issuance), which computed to 1,250,000 shares of ‘if-converted’ common stock with a redemption value of $332,500 due to $0.266 per share fair market value of the Company’s stock on the Auctus Note #2’s date of issuance. Debt discount amortization is recorded as interest expense, while debt premium accretion is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. For the three months ending at March 31, 2020, the Company amortized $4,647 debt discount to operations as interest expense, and accreted $24,121 of premium to additional paid-in capital.
7
Along with the the Auctus Note #2, on the Date of Issuance the Company issued 208,333 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”), exercisable immediately at a fixed exercise price of $0.60 with an expiration date of February 24, 2024. The Company has determined that the Warrants are exempt from derivative accounting and were valued at $55,417 on the Date of Inception using the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model. Assumptions used for the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model include (1) stock price of $0.27 per share, (2) exercise price of $0.60 per share, (3) term of 5 years, (4) expected volatility of 323% and (5) risk free interest rate of 2.56%. The Auctus Note #2 proceeds of $250,000 were then allocated between the fair value of the Auctus Note #2 ($250,000) and the Warrants ($55,417), resulting in a debt discount of $45,361. As the warrants are exercisable immediately, this debt discount was amortized in its entirety to interest expense on the Date of Issuance. Upon cashless conversion on March 12, 2020 an additional 166,667 warrants were issued for a market value of $66,364.
The Auctus Note #2 was paid off on February 20, 2020, and the warrants were converted on March 12,2020.
Other notes currently convertible
In the period October 24, 2019 through February 18, 2020, the Company entered into three separate Secured Promissory Note Agreements (“SPA”) with a face value of $300,000, and received net proceeds of $255,000. The Notes are convertible into common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at any time after the earlier of: (i) 180 days from the date of the Note or (ii) upon effective date of a registration statement. The conversion price of the Notes is equal to 65% of the lowest trading price at close during the twenty days prior to a conversion notice. The debt discount of $37,100 is amortized over the duration of the loans. The Debentures permit the Company to pre-pay its obligations at a premium prior to maturity. For the three months ended at March 31, 2020, the Company amortized $6,415 debt discount to operations as interest expense.
Additionally, the variable conversion rate component requires that the three notes be valued at its stock redemption value (i.e., “if-converted” value) pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, with the excess over the undiscounted face value being deemed a premium to be added to the principal balance and amortized to additional paid-in capital over the life of the three notes. As such, the Company recorded a premium of $937,007 as a reduction to additional paid-in capital based on a discounted “if-converted” rate between $0.091- $0.12 per share (65% of the average of the three lowest trading prices during the 20 days preceding the note’s issuance), which computed to 2,962,578 shares of ‘if-converted’ common stock with a redemption value of $1,237,007 due to in between $0.265- $0.50 per share fair market value of the Company’s stock on the three notes date of issuance. Debt discount amortization is recorded as interest expense, while debt premium amortization is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. For the three months ending at March 31, 2020, the Company amortized $4,376 debt discount to operations as interest expense, and accreted $80,447 of premium to additional paid-in capital.
The Company also issued the noteholders five-year warrants with cashless exercise provisions to purchase a total of 122,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.00 per share with cashless exercise provisions to four of the Lenders. The Company has determined that the Warrants are exempt from derivative accounting. The note proceeds of $300,000 were then allocated between the fair value of the Notes ($300,000) and the Warrants ($55,061), resulting in a debt discount of resulting in a fully amortized debt discount of $34,317. As the warrants were exercisable immediately, this debt discount was amortized in its entirety to interest expense on the Date of Issuance. For the three months ending at March 31, 2020, the Company issued 72,000 warrants, resulting in an amortized debt discount of $12,711.
Notes not yet convertible
In the period October 23, 2019 through March 18, 2020, the Company entered into seven separate Secured Promissory Note Agreements (“SPA”) with a face value of $636,800, and received net proceeds of $563,500. The Notes are convertible into common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at any time after the earlier of: (i) 180 days from the date of the Note or (ii) upon effective date of a registration statement. The conversion price of the Notes is equal to 65% of the lowest trading price at close during the twenty days prior to a conversion notice. The debt discount of $73,300 is amortized over the duration of the loans. The Debentures permit the Company to pre-pay its obligations at a premium prior to maturity. For the three months ended at March 31, 2020, the Company amortized $12,261 debt discount to operations as interest expense.

The Company also issued the noteholders five-year warrants with cashless exercise provisions to purchase a total of 150,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.00 per share with cashless exercise provisions to four of the Lenders. The Company has determined that the Warrants are exempt from derivative accounting. The note proceeds of $636,800 were then allocated between the fair value of the Notes ($636,800) and the Warrants ($97,850), resulting in a debt discount of resulting in a fully amortized debt discount of $68,910. As the warrants were exercisable immediately, this debt discount was amortized in its entirety to interest expense on the Date of Issuance. For the three months ending at March 31, 2020, the Company did not issue any warrants.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Employment contracts
The Company’s executive officers have entered employment contracts and confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment of invention agreements. The employment agreements do not provide for the payment of any compensation to our executive officers but provide for the payment of $100,000 in severance upon termination of employment without cause and make no provisions for any payment upon a change of control.
13
Litigation
In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Legal fees for such matters are expensed as incurred and we accrue for adverse outcomes as they become probable and estimable.
NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 16, 2020 SEC ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading of BIXT is suspended for the period April 16, through April 29, 2020.
As a result of the SEC ordered suspension the Company defaulted on outstanding Convertible Notes; resulting in an increase of the interest to 21% and the principal to increase to 168% of principal loan amount. The convertible debt increased to approximately $1,604,856 and the interest accrual to approximately $28,960/month.
The variable conversion rate component requires that the Defaulted Notes be valued at its stock redemption value (i.e., “if-converted” value) pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, with the excess over the undiscounted face value being deemed a premium to be added to the principal balance and amortized to additional paid-in capital over the life of the Notes. As such, the Company recorded a premium of $475,598 as a reduction to additional paid-in capital based on a discounted “if-converted” rate of $0.14 per share (65% of the lowest trading price during the 20 days preceding the note’s issuance), which computed to 4,454,213 shares of ‘if-converted’ common stock. The debt premium amortization is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
The Company’s management is taking all reasonable steps to get the Company traded on the OTCQB exchange again, in accordance with regulations as outlined by the SEC, see further:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the two years ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2020. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so, except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We do not currently have sufficient capital resources to fund operations. To stay in business and to continue the development of our products, we will need to raise additional capital through public or private sales of our securities, debt financing or short-term bank loans, or a combination of the foregoing. We believe that if we can raise $3,700,000 in our currently effective public offering, we will have sufficient working capital to repay the ten convertible notes and develop our business over the next approximately 15 months. At funding raised that is significantly less than $3,700,000, we can likely repay the ten convertible notes and continue to develop our business over the same 15-month period, but funding at that level will delay the development of our technology and business.
Bioxytran, Inc. is headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts. The Company’s initial product pipeline is focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic molecules for stroke. BXT-25 will be designed to be an injectable anti-necrosis drug specifically designed to treat a person immediately after that person suffers an ischemic stroke. The drug is designed to be injected intravenously to travel to the lungs to pick up oxygen molecules to carry to the brain. Like a red blood cell, the drug will cross the blood brain barrier, which is a protective semi-permeable membrane allowing some material to cross but preventing others from crossing. BXT-25 will be designed to diffuse oxygen into the brain tissues. We expect the BXT-25 molecule to be 5,000 times smaller than a red blood cell.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited resources and operating history. As described in Note 4 of the financial statements, the Company has taken up ten convertible loans at a total value of $938,400 maturing between 10/22/2020 and 3/18/2021, in order to finance the Company until we start raising equity. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2,781,800 as of March 31, 2020. The accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2019 was $2,241,305.
The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing to develop its new business opportunities and support the cost of the drug development including clinical trials and regulatory submission to the FDA.
The Company’s management do not foresee that COVID-19 has any impact for the Company and its ability to carry out their plans.
15
Management plans to seek additional capital through private placements and public offerings of its common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. Without such additional capital or the establishment of strategic relationships with established pharmaceutical companies, the Company may be required to cease operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue operations.
Results of Operations
We are a start-up company. Historically, Bioxytran was engaged in formation, fund raising and identifying and consulting with the scientific community regarding the development, formulation and testing of its products.
General and Administrative

Interest Expense and Amortization of Debt Discount and Premium
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $104,568 of premium accretion to additional paid-in capital, and $21,284 in amortization of debt discount and $145,438 in warrant amortization to interest expense, as compared to, $60,268 of premium accretion and a debt discount amortization of $9,536 and warrant amortization of $45,361 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The interest for the ten convertible notes outstanding amounted to $107,730, including a pre-pay fee of $91,362 for the early payment of a convertible note, as compared to $6,887 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The increased loss is mainly linked to current quarter costs for legal, accounting and other professional services, as well as the amortization of debt discounts applied to warrants issued in connection with convertible debt and the related loan fees.
Cash-Flows
Net cash used in operating activities was $156,789 and $139,730 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase was due to attendance at JPM Conference in January 2020 and increased operational activities.
The Company did not engage in any investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.
Cash flows from financing activities were $31,052 and $222,250 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The significant change was due to repayment of an outstanding convertible note on February 20, 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2020, our only asset was $43,891 in cash. We had total liabilities of $1,881,041, which were all current liabilities, and which consisted of $162,346 in accounts payable and accrued expenses (of which $116,000 was payable to related parties), and $1,718,695 in the form of ten convertible loans of $938,400, maturing between October 22, 2020 and March 18, 2021 (which includes unamortized debt premium of $856,560, and which has been netted with unamortized debt discounts totaling $76,265). The equivalent numbers at December 31, 2019, were $169,628 in cash and total liabilities of $1,018,915, which were all current liabilities, and which consisted of $167,932 in accounts payable and accrued expenses (of which $96,000 was payable to related parties), and $850,983 (which includes unamortized debt premium of $24,121, and which has been netted with unamortized debt discounts totaling $60,038) in the form of seven convertible loans, maturing between February 25, 2020 and 12/30/2020.
At March 31, 2020, we had total working capital of negative $1,837,150 and an accumulated deficit of $2,781,800. Comparatively, on December 31, 2019, we had total working capital of negative $799,287 and an accumulated deficit of $2,241,305. We believe that we must raise not less than $3,700,000 in our currently effective public offering in addition to current cash on hand to be able to continue our business operations for approximately the next 15 months and repay the ten convertible notes.
We have no current commitment from our officers and directors or any of our shareholders, to supplement our operations or provide us with financing in the future. If we are unable to raise additional capital from conventional sources and/or additional sales of stock in the future, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. Even if we are able to continue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results. In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, selling assets, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations include ten convertible notes, for a total of $938,400, described under Note 4 to the Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However, events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it could result in a material adverse impact to our results of operations, financial position and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we used when preparing our financial statements were the most appropriate at that time. Presented below are those accounting policies that we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. However, the majority of our businesses operate in environments where we pay a fee for a service performed, and therefore the results of the majority of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex.

Stock Based Compensation
The Company has share-based compensation plans under which non-employees, consultants and suppliers may be granted restricted stock, as well as options to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost is measured by the Company at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award over the requisite service period.
The Company applies ASC 718 for options, common stock and other equity-based grants to its employees and directors. ASC 718 requires measurement of all employee equity-based payment awards using a fair-value method and recording of such expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. The fair value concepts have not changed significantly in ASC 718; however, in adopting this standard, companies must choose among alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions. After assessing alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions, the Company will continue using both the Black-Scholes valuation model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the grant.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Item 3 is not applicable to us because we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that as of March 31, 2020, (i) the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and (ii) the Company’s controls and procedures have not been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due primarily to a material weakness in the segregation of duties in the Company’s internal controls.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation of these controls as of the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
18
The Company may become involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. The Company is not aware of any outstanding or pending litigation.
There have not been any material changes in the risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There were no sales of equity securities sold during the period covered by this Report that were not previously included in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
