NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Spine Injury Solutions Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 4, 1998.  We changed our name from Spine Pain Management Inc. to Spine Injury Solutions, Inc. on October 1, 2015.

We are a technology, marketing, billing, and collection company facilitating diagnostic services for patients who have sustained spine injuries resulting from traumatic accidents.  We deliver turnkey solutions to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers for necessary and appropriate treatment of musculo-skeletal spine injuries resulting from automobile and work-related accidents.  Our goal is to become a leader in providing technology and monetizing services to spine and orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers to facilitate proper treatment of their injured clients.  By monetizing the providers accounts receivable, which includes diagnostic testing and non-invasive surgical care, patients are not unnecessarily delayed or prevented from obtaining needed treatment.  By facilitating early treatment through affiliated doctors, we believe that health conditions can be prevented from escalating and injured victims can be quickly placed on the road to recovery.  Through our affiliate system, we facilitate spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers to provide reasonable, necessary, and appropriate treatments to patients with musculo-skeletal spine injuries. We assist the centers that provide the spine diagnostic injections and treatment and pay the doctors a fee for the medical procedures they performed. After a patient is billed for the procedures performed by the affiliated doctor, we take control of the patients’ unpaid bill and oversee collection. In most instances, the patient is a plaintiff in an accident case, where the patient is represented by an attorney. Typically, the defendant (and/or the insurance company of the defendant) in the accident case pays the patient’s bill upon settlement or final judgment of the accident case. The payment to us is made through the attorney of the patient. In most cases, we must agree to the settlement price and the patient must sign off on the settlement. Once we are paid, the patient’s attorney can receive payment for his or her legal fee. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the decision was made to discontinue funding future medical procedures due to our cash position, and we have not funded any procedures in 2021 and 2020 and will not do so unless we can access additional capital. However, we continue to actively pursue the collection of previously funded procedures.

We own a patented device and process by which a video recording system is attached to a fluoroscopic x-ray machine, the “four camera technology,” which we believe can attract additional physicians and patients as well as provide us with additional revenue streams with our new programs designed to assist in treatment documentation.  We have refined the technology, through research and development, resulting in a fully commercialized Quad Video Halo System 3.0.  Using this technology, diagnostic and treatment procedures are recorded from four separate video feeds that capture views from both inside and outside the body, and a video is made which is given to the patient’s representative to verify the treatment received.   

In September 2014, we created a wholly owned subsidiary, Quad Video Halo, Inc.  The purpose of this entity is to hold certain company assets affiliated with the QVH units.  

NOTE 2.  GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

Since our inception in 1998, until commencement of our spine injury diagnostic operations in August, 2009, our expenses substantially exceeded our revenue, resulting in continuing losses and an accumulated deficit from operations of $15,004,698 as of December 31, 2009.  Since that time, our accumulated deficit has increased $5,200,027 to $20,204,725 as of March 31, 2021. Presently, we are trying to limit all operating expenses as much as possible. If in the future we decide to increase our service development, marketing efforts and/or brand building activities, we will need to increase our operating expenses and our general and administrative functions to support such growth in operations. No such growth in operations is presently planned. We are also actively seeking a private company with which to enter into a strategic business transaction, including without limitation a merger; however, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of our efforts. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to successfully merge with a financially viable company, or our ability to increase revenue from services and obtain additional capital from borrowing and selling securities, as needed, to fund our operations. There is no assurance that additional capital can be obtained or that it can be obtained on terms that are favorable to us and our existing stockholders. Any expectation of future profitability is dependent upon our ability to expand and develop our business, of which there can be no assurances.

SPINE INJURY SOLUTIONS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the decision was made to discontinue our involvement in future medical procedures due to our cash position, which also hampered our ability to pay back existing debt to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and a current director and shareholder (see Note 5—Note Payable). We were not involved in any procedures in 2021 and 2020 and will not do so unless we can access additional capital. The previous service revenue we have earned has resulted in longer settlement times, which has created a slowdown in cash collections. Additionally, our efforts to establish a market for the Quad Video Halo has not met our expectations and we have cut back its development and operations. If we are unable to access additional capital in the near future, these recent developments could have a material negative impact on our financial performance and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We are actively pursuing a merger with a private company where they become the controlling company. We find this the best course of action for our shareholders.

Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for us to collect our accounts receivable, as attorney and medical offices are closed resulting in delayed settlements and medical procedures being canceled, which affects our lease revenue. We are uncertain how this pandemic will affect our ability to collect in the future or its overall effect on our lease revenue.

NOTE 3.  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following are summarized accounting policies considered to be critical by our management:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Nevertheless, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2020 Annual Report as filed on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position with respect to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the results of its operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2021, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spine Injury Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Quad Video Halo, Inc. All material intercompany balances of transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Accounting Method

Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of our financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s accounting for revenues is governed by two accounting standards. The Company’s service and product sale revenue are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Additionally, the Company’s QVH rental revenues are accounted for under ASC 842, Leases.

SPINE INJURY SOLUTIONS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Service and Product Sale Revenue Recognition

Historically, our net revenues included service revenues that arose from the delivery of medical diagnostic services provided to patients by medical professionals at spine injury diagnostic centers, only after the patients completed and signed required medical and financial paperwork. Service revenues were recorded as net patient service revenues based on variable consideration elements further described below and in Note 4. While we did collect 100% of the accounts on certain patients, our historical collection rate was used to estimate the variable consideration expected and is reflected in the carrying balance of accounts receivable and service revenue recorded. A discount rate of 48%, based on payment history, was used to reduce revenue to 52% of Current Procedural Terminology code rates (“CPT” codes are numbers assigned to every task and service a medical practitioner may provide to a patient including medical, surgical and diagnostic services. CPT codes are developed, maintained and copyrighted by the American Medical Association). Patients were billed at the normal billing amount, based on national averages, for a particular CPT code procedure during the year ended December 31, 2018 and prior years. We recorded no revenue related to medical diagnostic services provided during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and revenue presented represents adjustments of variable consideration received for procedures performed in years prior to 2019.

Service revenue and corresponding accounts receivable are recognized by reference to “net revenue” and “accounts receivable, net” which is defined as gross amounts billed using CPT codes (“gross revenue”) less account discounts that are expected to result when individual cases are ultimately settled, which is the variable consideration associated with this revenue stream.

Lease Revenue

Rental revenues from operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  Rental billings for periods extending beyond period-end are recorded as deferred income and are recognized in the period earned.   For the QVH Leases, rental related services revenues for support, maintenance and video processing, delivery, and installation are lease related because the payments are considered minimum lease payments that are an integral part of the negotiated lease agreement with the customer.  These revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s leases consisted solely of operating leases. As stated previously, we are uncertain on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our lease revenue going forward.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable, as reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, approximates fair value.  Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.  Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.  We maintain cash and cash equivalents in banks which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on these deposits.

Long-Lived Assets

We periodically review and evaluate long-lived assets such as intangible assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. In performing our review for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of such assets and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future operating cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the related assets, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying amount of such assets over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash flows. At March 31, 2021, no impairment of long-lived assets was determined to have occurred.

SPINE INJURY SOLUTIONS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Assets that expose us to credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Our accounts receivable are from a diversified customer base and, therefore, we believe the concentration of credit risk is minimal. We evaluate the creditworthiness of customers before any services are provided.  We record a discount based on the nature of our business, collection trends, and an assessment of our ability to fully realize amounts billed for services.  Additionally, we have established an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $559,007 and $585,257, at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values.  Under authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), companies are required to estimate the fair value or calculated value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.  The value of awards that are ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations.  We use the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards.  During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not recognize compensation expense for issuances of our common stock in exchange for services.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred assets and liabilities are recognized based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We establish a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be utilized against future taxable income.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 740-10-25 defines the minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements as “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood of occurrence greater than fifty percent). Under ASC Topic 740-10-25, the recognition threshold is met when an entity concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Those tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first interim period in which they meet the more likely than not standard or are resolved through negotiation or litigation with the taxing authority, or upon expiration of the statute of limitations. De-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized occurs when an entity subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not threshold of being sustained.

We are subject to ongoing tax exposures, examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, we may incur additional tax expense based upon the outcomes of such matters. In addition, when applicable, we will adjust tax expense to reflect our ongoing assessments of such matters which require judgment and can materially increase or decrease our effective rate as well as impact operating results.

Under ASC Topic 740-10-25, only the portion of the liability that is expected to be paid within one year is classified as a current liability. As a result, liabilities expected to be resolved without the payment of cash (e.g. resolution due to the expiration of the statute of limitations) or are not expected to be paid within one year are not classified as current. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, are recognized as income tax expense and tax credits as a reduction in income tax expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized no estimated interest or penalties as income tax expense.

Legal Costs and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we incur costs to hire and retain external legal counsel to advise us on regulatory, litigation and other matters. We expense these costs as the related services are received.

If a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we recognize an expense for the estimated loss. If we have the potential to recover a portion of the estimated loss from a third party, we make a separate assessment of recoverability and reduce the estimated loss if recovery is also deemed probable.

SPINE INJURY SOLUTIONS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Net Loss per Share

Net loss per common share is presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” for all periods presented. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, common stock equivalents from outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible debt have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted earnings (loss) per share in the consolidated statements of operations, because all such securities were anti-dilutive.  The loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current U.S. GAAP and, instead, requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, ASU No. 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early application permitted in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments of ASU No. 2016-13 should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Management is currently evaluating the future impact of ASU No. 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which is optional guidance related to reference rate reform that provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is effective immediately but is only available through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The patients are billed by the healthcare provider based on Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) codes for the medical procedure performed. CPT codes are numbers assigned to every task and service a medical practitioner may provide to a patient including medical, surgical and diagnostic services. CPT codes are developed, maintained and copyrighted by the American Medical Association. Patients are billed at the normal billing amount, based on national averages, for a particular CPT code procedure.

Revenue and corresponding accounts receivable are recognized by reference to “net revenue” and “accounts receivable, net” which is defined as gross amounts billed using CPT codes less account discounts that are expected to result when individual cases are ultimately settled.  While we do collect 100% of the accounts on some patients, our historical collection rate is used to calculate the carrying balance of the accounts receivable and the estimated revenue to be recorded.  A discount rate of 48%, based on payment history, was used to reduce revenue to 52% of CPT code billings (“gross revenue”) during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The patients who receive medical services at the diagnostic centers are typically patients involved in auto accidents or work injuries. The patient completes and signs medical and financial paperwork, which includes an acknowledgement of the patient’s responsibility of payment for the services provided. Additionally, the paperwork should include an assignment of benefits.  The timing of collection of receivables varies depending on patient sources of payment. Historical experience, through 2018, demonstrated that the collection period for individual cases may extend for two years or more.

Our credit policy has been established based upon extensive experience by management in the industry and has been determined to ensure that collectability is reasonably assured.  Payment for services are primarily made to us by a third party and the credit policy includes terms of net 240 days for collections; however, collections occur upon settlement or judgment of cases. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we determined an allowance for uncollectable accounts of $559,007 and $585,257, respectively, was needed for those customer accounts whose collections appear doubtful.

NOTE 5.  NOTE PAYABLE

On August 31, 2020, Peter L. Dalrymple, a member of our board of directors, paid-off in full the outstanding balance of a term loan we had with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. As consideration for Mr. Dalrymple paying off the term loan on our behalf, we issued Mr. Dalrymple a $610,000 one-year secured promissory note. The secured promissory note bears interest of 6% per year with monthly payments of interest only due until maturity, when all unpaid interest and principal is due. This note is collateralized by all our accounts receivable and a pledge of the stock of our wholly owned subsidiary, Quad Video Halo, Inc. The secured promissory note balance was $470,000 and $490,000 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $6,765 in interest expense on the Dalrymple note, representing all interest due through that date.

NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The total number of authorized shares of our common stock is 250,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share. As of March 31, 2021, there were 20,240,882 common shares issued and outstanding. We did not issue any shares of common stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

On January 19, 2021, our stockholders approved the filing of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation authorizing 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Such amendment was filed on January 20, 2021. We did not issue any shares of preferred stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

NOTE 7.  INCOME TAXES

We have not made a provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020, which reflects our valuation allowance established against our benefits from net operating loss carryforwards.

NOTE 8. LEASE REVENUES

The Company’s QVH unit rentals are governed by agreements that detail the lease terms and conditions. The determination of whether these contracts with customers contain a lease generally does not require significant judgement. The Company accounts for these rentals as operating leases. These leases do not include material amounts of variable payments and the Company has made the accounting policy election to exclude all taxes assessed by a governmental authority. The Company provides an option of the lessee to purchase the rented equipment upon the termination of the lease for the as then fair market value; however, the Company has not generated material revenue from sales of equipment under such options. Initial lease terms vary in length based upon customer needs and generally range from twelve to thirty-six months. Customer have the option to keep equipment on rent beyond the initial lease term on a one-year successive term that auto renews unless canceled by the customer. All of the Company’s rental products have long useful lives relative to the typical rental term with the original investment typically recovered in approximately five years. The rental products are typically rented for a majority of the time owned and a significant portion of the original investment is recovered when sold from inventory. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

All of the Company’s outstanding lease contracts as of March 31, 2021, are scheduled to mature in 2021 with expected operating lease payments to be received totaling approximately $40,000.

Included in property and equipment, net, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is equipment available for rent in the amount of $7,354 and $10,959, respectively.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

See Note 3 of the accompanying notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which note is incorporated herein by reference.

Management Overview

Shareholder Meeting

On January 19, 2021, we held an Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Spine Injury Solutions, Inc. at our corporate offices. In addition to electing our current directors, ratifying our independent registered accounting firm and approving a non-binding advisory resolution on executive compensation, stockholders approved the following proposals:

A certificate of amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on January 20, 2021 to effect the increase in the number of shares of common and preferred stock. The board of directors has not yet effected a reverse stock split as of the date of this quarterly report, and has no present plans to do so.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the decision was made to discontinue involvement in future medical procedures due to our cash position, which also hampers our ability to pay back existing debt to a current director and shareholder. We did not perform any procedures in 2021 thus far or 2020 and will not do so unless we can access additional capital. The service revenue we have earned has resulted in longer settlement times, which has created a slowdown in cash collections. Additionally, despite our efforts to establish a market for the Quad Video Halo, such market has not met our expectations and we have cut back its development and operations.

Moving forward, our main focus will be collecting accounts receivable, paying down debt and leveraging our position as a fully reporting public company for other investing opportunities.

There can be no guarantee of us continuing as a going concern if we cannot obtain additional funds.

We are actively pursuing a merger with a private company where they become the controlling company. We find this to be the best course of action for our shareholders.

Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for us to collect our accounts receivable, as attorney and medical offices are closed resulting in delayed settlements and medical procedures being canceled, which affects our lease revenue. We are uncertain how this pandemic will affect our ability to collect in the future or its overall effect on our lease revenue.

Comparison of the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 with the three month-period ended March 31, 2020.

The revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisted of $4,818 related to excess collections for previously funded procedures coupled with $26,073 in lease revenues. The revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 consisted of $29,948 related to excess collections for previously funded procedures coupled with $25,873 in lease revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we were not involved in any new procedures with spine injury diagnostic centers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred $90,671 of operating, general and administrative expenses compared to $84,448 for the same period in 2020.  Operating, general and administrative expenses were higher for the 2021 quarter compared to 2020 primarily because of a decrease of $36,000 in recoveries on accounts previously written off which are treated as a credit to operating expenses, partially offset by decreases in payroll ($16,000), consulting fees ($13,000) and insurance expense ($6,000).

As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of $66,543 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $36,577 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash provided in operations was $32,593 which primarily included collections of accounts receivable of $112,945, partially offset by the net loss of $66,543. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, cash provided in operations was $205,629 which primarily included collections of accounts receivable of $235,480, decreases in prepaid expenses of $8,306, and accounts payable of $6,541, along with non-cash depreciation expenses totaling $4,961.

Cash used in financing activities consisted of repayments on our note payable to shareholder of $20,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and repayments on our term note of $205,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Going Concern Considerations

Since our inception in 1998, until commencement of our spine injury diagnostic operations in August, 2009, our expenses substantially exceeded our revenue, resulting in continuing losses and an accumulated deficit from operations of $15,004,698 as of December 31, 2009. Since that time, our accumulated deficit has increased $5,200,027 to $20,204,725 as of March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we realized net revenue of $30,891 and net loss of $66,543. Successful business operations and our ability to generate cash flows from operations, sufficient to meet our debt obligations are dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a level of collections adequate to support our cost structure. Considering the nature of our business, we are not generating immediate liquidity and sufficient working capital within a reasonable period of time to fund our planned operations and strategic business plan through March 31, 2022. There can be no assurances that there will be adequate financing available to us.

Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2018, the decision was made to discontinue involvement with future medical procedures due to our cash position, which also hampers our ability to pay back our current shareholder (see Note 5—Note payable). We were not involved with any procedures in 2021 or 2020 and will not do so unless we can access additional capital. The service revenue we have earned has resulted in longer settlement times, which has created a slowdown in cash collections. Additionally, despite our efforts to establish a market for the Quad Video Halo, such market has not met our expectations and we have cut back its development and operations. If we are unable to access additional capital in the near future, these recent developments could have a material negative impact on our financial performance and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Such officers have concluded (based upon their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report) that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have also indicated that, upon evaluation, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or other factors during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a 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. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, one should carefully consider the discussion of various risks and uncertainties contained in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  We believe the risk factors presented in this filing and those presented on our 2020 Form 10-K are the most relevant to our business and could cause our results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made by us.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and other pandemics, epidemics or disease outbreaks could have a similar impact. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a pandemic, has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, social distancing guidelines, quarantines, shelter in place orders and business shutdowns. These measures have not only negatively impacted consumer spending and business spending habits, they have also adversely impacted and may further impact our workforce and operations and the operations of our customers, suppliers and business partners. The duration of these measures is unknown and may be extended, and additional measures may be imposed. This will likely continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for us to collect our accounts receivable, as attorney and medical offices are closed resulting in delayed settlements and medical procedures being canceled, which affects our lease revenue. We are uncertain how this pandemic will affect our ability to collect in the future or its overall effect on our lease revenue.

Further, COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices, including restricting employee travel, modifying employee work locations, increasing reliance on remote access to our information systems, implementing social distancing and enhanced sanitary measures in our offices, we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities. Further, our enhanced reliance on remote access to our information systems increases our exposure to cybersecurity attacks or data security incidents.

COVID-19 has had, and is expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including any economic downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future. The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, any of which could have a material effect on us. This situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.
