The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bioxytran, Inc. a Nevada Corporation, its majority owned subsidiary, Pharmalectin, Inc. of Delaware, as well as its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pharmalectin (BVI), Inc of British Virgin Islands and Pharmalectin India Pvt Ltd. (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

 

Cash

 

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, valuation of warrants, valuations in connection with convertible notes and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Net Loss per Common Share, basic and diluted

 

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net loss per Common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into Common Stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable.

 

At September 30, 2023, we would, based on the market price of $0.17/share, be obligated to issue approximately 16,045,900 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of currently outstanding convertible notes and 2,422,144 shares upon exercise of outstanding warrants and 380,000 shares upon exercise of outstanding options. For these Promissory notes, the shares total value is based on $1,900,000 of currently outstanding principal, and $185,967 in unpaid interest.

 

All of our currently outstanding notes have an interest rate of 6% and are convertible at the lower of (i) a fixed price of $0.13, or (ii) 85% of the closing price of any Qualified Financing, which consist of any fundraising whereby the Company receives gross proceeds of not less than $500,000. The notes contain a conversion limitation which prevents the holder(s) of the notes from converting if doing so would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our issued an outstanding Common Stock.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received from employees and non-employees in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date pursuant ASC 718. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by the Company over the requisite service period, or vesting period, in the same expense classifications in the statements of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash.

 

7

 

 

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. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 the Company incurred $604,771 in research and development expenses, while during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company incurred $759,138.

 

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other

 

Valuation of intangibles are in accordance with ASC 350. Costs associated with the application and award of patents in the U.S. and various other countries are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the patents as determined at award date, which varies depending on the pendency period of the application, generally approximating seventeen years. Capitalized patent costs, also referred to as patent prosecution costs, include internal legal labor, professional legal fees, government filing fees and translation fees related to expanding the Company’s patent portfolio. Costs associated with the maintenance and annuity fees of patents are accounted for as prepaid assets at the time of payment and amortized over the shorter of the maintenance period or remaining life of the related patent.

 

Accrued Expenses

 

As part of the process of preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate accrued expenses. This process involves identifying services that third parties have performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred on these services as at each balance sheet date in our consolidated financial statements. Examples of estimated accrued expenses include professional service fees, such as those arising from the services of attorneys and accountants and accrued payroll expenses. In connection with these service fees, our estimates are most affected by our understanding of the status and timing of services provided relative to the actual services incurred by the service providers. In the event that we do not identify certain costs that have been incurred or we under- or over-estimate the level of services or costs of such services, our reported expenses for a reporting period could be understated or overstated. The date on which certain services commence, the level of services performed on or before a given date, and the cost of services are often subject to our judgment. We make these judgments based upon the facts and circumstances known to us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.

 

Warrants

 

The Company has issued Common Stock warrants in connection with the execution of certain equity and debt financings. The fair value of warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using assumptions regarding volatility of our common share price, remaining life of the warrant, and risk-free interest rates at each period end.

 

Fair Value

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

As at September 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $80,273 and a negative working capital of $2,252,685. The Company has not yet generated any revenues from operations and has incurred cumulative net losses of $14,451,092. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company raised a net of $505,361 in cash proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock. During the same period in 2022, the Company raised a net of $1,380,960 in cash proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes and $600,000 from the issuance of Common Stock of the Subsidiary. The Company is aware that its current cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund its projected operating requirements through the month of December 2023 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.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company hold License Agreements (the “License/s” or “Agreement/s”) for a medical device (license obtained in 2019) and a compound (license obtained in 2021), with two affiliated companies where in the officers of the Company hold a majority interest. The products were developed prior to the establishment of Bioxytran. The yearly maintenance fee for each license amount to $5,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 the affiliates were paid $5,000 each. During the same period in 2022, there was $25,720 in transactions with affiliates as the Company also reimbursed the affiliates for the legal and administrative costs surrounding the establishment of the Licenses.

 

In the three months leading up to the financial close, the affiliate has advanced $25,000 on behalf of the Company to pay necessary invoices from service providers, due to lack of funds.

 

NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLES

 

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, or 2022.

Amortization of capitalized patent costs associated with the application and award of patents in the U.S. and various other countries are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the patents as determined at the award date, which varies depending on the pendency period of the application, generally approximating twenty years.

 

   Estimated Life (years)   September 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
Capitalized patent costs   20   $116,919   $79,179 
Accumulated amortization        (8,149)   (3,644)
                
Intangible assets, net       $108,770   $75,535

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

Private Placement, 2021 Notes

 

Around April 29, 2021, we entered into four (4) Securities Purchase Agreements (the “2021 SPA’s”), under which we agreed to sell convertible promissory notes (the “2021 Notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $1,165,000 with 6% interest, whereof $1,000,000 were contributed in form of cancellation of third-party notes.

 

At any time after the issue date of the 2021 Notes, the Holders of the 2021 Notes, (the “2021 Holders”), have the option to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the 2021 Notes into shares of our Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” will be the lesser of (i) $0.13 per share or (ii) 85% of the closing price of Any Qualified Financing, which consists of any fundraising whereby the Company receives gross proceeds of not less than $500,000.

 

The variable conversion rate component requires that the 2021 Notes to 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 2021 Notes. No such recording of a premium was required as the discounted “if-converted” rate of $0.13 per share, was identical to fair market value of the Company’s stock on the 2021 Notes date of issuance.

 

10

 

 

The 2021 Holders are limited to holding a total of 4.99% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock at any one time.

 

The maturity on one note was negotiated to August 31, 2023, while the maturity of the three remaining notes were negotiated to April 30, 2024, and an increase of the interest rate to 10%. The principal and interest for two of these latter notes were extinguished and one partially converted into 2,435,291 shares of Common Stock on May 17, on June 26 and on August 30, 2023 for a total value of $316,588.

 

Name  Principal Converted   Accrued interest converted   No. of shares issued 
Private Placement, 2021 Notes issued to Officers (1)  $265,000   $51,588    2,435,291 

 

(1) Net cash received for these notes were $1,380,960, after a Debt Discount of $86,040 was paid to the sole Placement Agent: WallachBeth Capital, LLC (Member FINRA / SIPC).

  

Convertible notes payable and interest payable consist of the following at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022:

   September 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
Principal balance (1), (2)  $1,900,000   $2,165,000 
Interest Payable   185,967    134,581 
Outstanding, net of debt discount and premium  $2,085,967   $2,299,581 

 

(1) Net cash received for these notes were $1,045,150, after a Debt Discount of $119,850 was paid to the sole Placement Agent: WallachBeth Capital, LLC (Member FINRA / SIPC). $265,000 of the outstanding principal was converted into shares of Common Stock on May 17, June 26 and on August 30, 2023.
(2) $2 million of principal, accrued interest and default penalties for notes issued prior to 2021, where settled by a third party in exchange for us issuing to them a note in the amount of $1 million.

 

There can be no assurance that there will be any funds available to pay of the 2021 Notes. If we fail to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis, the 2021 Holders may convert the 2021 Notes and sell the underlying shares, which may result in significant dilution to shareholders due to the conversion discount, as well as a significant decrease in our stock price.

 

Private Placement, 2022 Notes converted into Common Stock

 

In January, 2022, we entered into thirty-four (34) Securities Purchase Agreements (the “2022 SPA’s”), with accredited investors, under which we agreed to sell the Notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $1,467,000 with 6% interest (the “2022 Notes”) to the holders of the 2022 Notes (the “2022 Holders”).

 

At any time after the issue date of the 2022 Notes the 2022 Holders have the option to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the Notes into shares of our Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” is set to $0.25 per share.

 

The 2022 Holders are limited to holding a total of 4.99% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock at any one time. The Common Stock underlying the 2022 Notes, when issued, bear a restrictive legend and are currently eligible for resale under Rule 144.

 

The notes principal and accrued interest were fully converted into 6,081,484 shares of Common Stock on August 31, 2022.

 

Name  Principal Converted   Accrued interest converted   No. of shares issued 
Private Placement, 2022 Notes (1)  $1,467,000   $53,371    6,081,484

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, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2023. 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 $5,300,000, we will have sufficient working capital to repay the outstanding convertible notes and develop our business over the next approximately 15 months. At funding raised that is less than $5,300,000, we can likely repay the four 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.

 

Our Subsidiary is continuing our clinical trials with a candidate named, ProLectin a complex polysaccharide derived from galactomannan and pectin respectively, that binds to, and blocks the activity of galectin-1 and -3, a type of galectin. Galectins are a member of a family of proteins in the body called lectins. These proteins interact with carbohydrate sugars located in, on the surface of, and in between cells. This interaction causes the cells to change behavior, including cell movement, multiplication, and other cellular functions. The interactions between lectins and their target carbohydrate sugars occur via a carbohydrate recognition domain, or CRD, within the lectin. Galectins are a subfamily of lectins that have a CRD that bind specifically to ß-galactoside proteins. Galectins have a broad range of functions, including regulation of cell survival and adhesion, promotion of cell-to-cell interactions, growth of blood vessels, regulation of the immune response and inflammation. During viral infections galectins are upregulated and downregulated based on the type of virus.

 

ProLectin-M’s clinical trial data shows non-toxicity and efficacy for treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19. The results of the trial are described in our three peer-reviewed articles Galectin antagonist use in mild cases of SARS-CoV-2; pilot feasibility randomised, open label, controlled trial, published in Journal of Vaccines & Vaccination on December 30, 2020, Carbohydrate ProLectin-M, a Galectin-3 Antagonist, Blocks SARS-CoV-2 Activity published in the International Journal of Health Sciences on July 31, 2022 and PLG-007 and Its Active Component Galactomannan-α Competitively Inhibit Enzymes That Hydrolyze Glucose Polymers published in the International Journal of Molecular Science on July 13, 2022.

 

Results from our latest Phase 2 trial on COVID-19 patients conducted at ESIS Medical College and Hospital, Sanath Nagar, Hyderabad, India were published in in the peer-reviewed journal Virus: An Oral Galectin Antagonist in COVID-19—A Phase II Randomized Controlled Trial on February 23, 2023, show positive results of its randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial in thirty-four (34) patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. During the seven (7) days of treatment, an orally administered Galectin Antagonist in the form of a chewable tablet was administered eight (8) times per day on an hourly basis. The endpoint was a statistically significant reduction in viral load measured by the number of patients reaching a below threshold PCR value (Ct value ≥ 29) by day 7. The trial met its endpoint with a one hundred percent (100%) response rate by day 7 versus six percent (6%) in placebo, which was statistically significant (p-value = .001). Our analysis also revealed an 82% response rate by day 3, which was statistically significant (p-value = .001). There were no drug-related serious adverse events (SAE’s) in the patient population or viral rebounds by day fourteen (14) in the patient population.

On April 19, 2023, the Company announced that its long awaited Acellular Oxygen Carrier (“AOC”) BXT-25 had been successfully tested in animals. The initial results are very encouraging because they show the non-toxicity of the experimental drug, along with the corresponding full recovery in Swiss Albino mice, in an experiment carried out in a joint venture with NDPD Pharma, Inc. As a next step, the Company intends to proceed with a 14-day repeated dose toxicity study using New Zealand Rabbits and Wistar Rats as funding permits.

 

On August 31, 2023 the Company published a pre-print of a future article named: Evaluation of Complex Carbohydrates Showing Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Activity against SARS-CoV-2, Influenza-a (H1N1) and Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (hRSV) Strain A2 in ‘In Vitro’ Setting. With a conclusion that both ProLectin-I and ProLectin-M have been reported to exhibit broad-spectrum antiviral activity in ‘in-vitro’ setting. ProLectin-M reducing influenza-A virus by 95% and hRSC strain A2 by 65%. To better understand broad spectrum antiviral activity of ProLectin-I and ProLectin-M, further pre-clinical research is warranted.

 

On August 21, 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved the Company’s IND #153742, filed under the title “PROTECT: ProLectin-M, a nucleocapsid TErminal GaleCTin antagonist for COVID-19 (PROTECT), a Randomized, Double-blinded Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety in Non-Hospitalized Adult Participants with COVID-19”. The trial is expected to start early 2024, provided we obtain adequate funding.

 

On December 2, 2022, India’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) issued an IND with permission to conduct: “A Phase 1b/2a Randomized, Blinded, placebo-controlled Study in Participants with Mild to Moderate COVID-19 to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered ProLectin-M”. The Company is currently recruiting patients for the trial and initial dosage of patients is planned to start on, or around, October 1, 2023.

 

On January 27, 2023, an additional IND with the CDSCO was issued for ProLectin-I for an “IV treatment of SARS-CoV-2 in hospitalized patients with moderate Covid-19 infections and for Long Covid”, and for ProLectin-F for “treatment of lung-fibrosis resulting from an earlier Covid infection”.

 

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.

 

Management plans to seek additional capital through the issuance of its debt and/or equity securities. 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.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 6 of the financial statements, the Company has currently two (2) convertible loans outstanding at a total face value of $1,900,000. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $14,451,092 as at September 30, 2023. The accumulated deficit as at December 31, 2022 was $11,217,600.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

 

We are a clinical stage 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 as of the fourth quarter of 2021 the Company has engaged in research and development activities through its Subsidiary, Pharmalectin, Inc., developing the Company’s anti-viral therapeutic ProLectin. Additionally, during the first half of 2023, the Company successfully developed a GLP facility and initiated preliminary animal testing of our hypoxia platform technology: Acellular Oxygen Carrier (“AOC”), with an expected start date in early 2024 for pre-clinical testing and studies.

Comparatively, on December 31, 2022, we had net working capital of negative $3,368,081 and an accumulated deficit of $11,217,600. We believe that we must raise an additional $3,700,000 to be able to continue our business operations for the next 15 months.

 

Upcoming Financing Activities

 

On September 19, 2023 the Company filed a Form S-1, declared effective by the SEC on September 29, 2023, wherein the Company has an option, but not an obligation, to sell up to 11 million shares of Common Stock, for an amount of $1,683,000. The Company is also pursuing other alternative sources of investment. The Company filed a Form D with the SEC on March 13, 2023, disclosing our intention to raise up to $5.0 million in debt or equity.

 

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.

Commitments

 

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.

Our Executive Officers have entered into employment contracts and confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment of invention agreements. The most substantial provisions include;

 

  Compensation of three (3) times the employee’s annual salary upon the Termination Date and any target bonus earned, or if termination occurs within 12 months of a change in control, then the terminated employee shall receive two (2) times the employee’s annual salary and any target bonus earned.
     
  Continued coverage under any health, medical, dental or vision program or policy, in which they were eligible to participate at the time of employment termination, for 12 months.
     
  Provide outplacement services through one or more outside firms of the employee’s choosing up to an aggregate of $50,000.

 

There are no other arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for any of Executive Officers or Directors.

 

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.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of AASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

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 at the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that as at September 30, 2023, (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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded as at 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.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

25

 

 

As disclosed in our previous filings, there are material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting due to the fact that the Company does not have an adequate process established to ensure appropriate levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters, which resulted in our closing process not identifying all required adjustments and disclosures in a timely fashion. The Company’s CEO/CFO has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.

 

Although the Company has hired a consultant to assist with SEC reporting and accounting matters, we expect that the Company will need to hire accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge to improve the levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters. The Company may experience delays in doing so and any such additional employees would require time and training to learn the Company’s business and operating processes and procedures. For the near-term future, until such personnel are in place, this will continue to constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that could result in material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements not being prevented or detected.

 

Because of the above material weakness, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as at September 30, 2023, based on the criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the COSO.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 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.
