NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Organization

C-Bond Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a materials development company and sole owner, developer and manufacturer of the patented C-Bond technology. The Company is engaged in the implementation of proprietary nanotechnology applications and processes to enhance properties of strength, functionality and sustainability of brittle material systems. The Company’s present primary focus is in the multi-billion-dollar glass and window film industry with target markets in the United States and internationally. Additionally, the Company has expanded its product line to include disinfection products. The Company operates in two divisions: C-Bond Transportation Solutions, which sells a windshield strengthening water repellant solution as well as a disinfection product, and C-Bond Safety Solutions, which sells multi-purpose glass strengthening primer and window film mounting solutions, ballistic-resistant film systems and disinfection products.

On April 25, 2018, the Company (which was formerly known as West Mountain Alternative Energy, Inc.) and its subsidiary, WETM Acquisition Corp. (“Acquisition Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, or the Merger Agreement with C-Bond Systems, LLC which was organized as a limited liability company in Texas and started business on August 7, 2013 and had three subsidiaries. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on April 25, 2018, referred to as the Closing Date, the Acquisition Sub merged with and into C-Bond Systems, LLC, which was the surviving corporation. Accordingly, C-Bond Systems, LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Any reference to contractual agreements throughout these footnotes may relate to C-Bond Systems Inc., or one of its subsidiaries.

The Merger was treated as a reverse merger and recapitalization of C-Bond Systems, LLC for financial reporting purposes since the C-Bond Systems LLC members retained an approximate 87% controlling interest in the post-merger consolidated entity. C-Bond Systems, LLC is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and the Company’s historical financial statements before the Merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of C-Bond Systems, LLC and Subsidiaries before the Merger in future filings with the SEC. The balance sheets at their historical cost basis of both entities are combined at the merger date and the results of operations from the merger date forward will include the historical results of C-Bond Systems, LLC and its subsidiaries and results of C-Bond Systems, Inc. from the merger date forward. The Merger was intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its wholly-owned subsidiary, C-Bond Systems, LLC and its inactive wholly-owned subsidiaries, C-Bond R&D Solutions, LLC, C-Bond Industrial Solutions, LLC, and C-Bond Security Solutions, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP has been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such accounting principles and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 of the Company which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2020.

Going Concern

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,619,752 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The net cash used in operations was $1,132,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit, shareholders’ deficit, and working capital deficit of $42,622,562, $2,718,413 and $1,979,419, respectively, at September 30, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. The Company is seeking to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund its operations in the future. Although the Company has historically raised capital from sales of common shares, preferred shares and from the issuance of convertible and other promissory notes, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail its operations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 include estimates for allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable, the estimates for obsolete or slow moving inventory, the useful life of property and equipment, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, the estimate of the fair value of the right of use asset and lease liability, the valuation of redeemable and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, the fair value of derivative liabilities, the value of beneficial conversion features, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (the “FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company on September 30, 2020. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, notes payable – related party, convertible note payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued compensation, and subscription payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is as follows:

A roll forward of the level 3 valuation financial instruments is as follows:

C-BOND SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2020
(Unaudited)

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Accounts Receivable

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized as general and administrative expense.

Inventory

Inventory, consisting of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value utilizing the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A reserve is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected net realizable value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the net realizable value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates and included in cost of sales.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease term including scheduled renewal terms. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has certain financial instruments that are embedded derivatives. The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10-05-4, Derivatives and Hedging and 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any embedded derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss on extinguishment.

In July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. These amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down-round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down-round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. The guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2019 and the Company elected to record the effect of this adoption, if any, retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of 2019, the period which the amendment is effective. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-11 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations and there was no cumulative effect adjustment.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. 

The Company sells its products which include standard warranties primarily to distributors and authorized dealers. Product sales are recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and title is transferred and are recorded net of any discounts or allowances. The warranty does not represent a separate performance obligation.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes inventory costs, packaging costs and warranty expenses.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs incurred for product shipped to customers are included in general and administrative expenses and amounted to $29,752 and $27,715 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in sales.

Research and Development

Research and development costs incurred in the development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred and includes costs such as labor, materials, and other allocated costs incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, research and development costs incurred in the development of the Company’s products were $14,597 and $23,925, respectively, and are included in operating expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Warranty Liability

The Company provides limited warranties on its products for product defects for periods ranging from 12 months to the life of the product. Warranty costs may include the cost of product replacement, refunds, labor costs and other costs. Allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires the Company to make estimates of product warranty claim rates and expected costs to repair or to replace the products under warranty. The Company currently establishes warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line combined with liability estimates based on the prior 12 months’ sales activities. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from the Company’s estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods. Historically the warranty accrual and the expense amounts have been immaterial. The warranty liability is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and amounted $26,833 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, warranty expense amounted to $0 and $4,650, respectively, and is included in cost of sales on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, a roll forward of warranty liability is as follows:

Advertising Costs

The Company participates in various advertising programs. All costs related to advertising of the Company’s products are expensed in the period incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, advertising costs charged to operations were $30,900 and $31,692, respectively and are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. These advertising expenses do not include cooperative advertising and sales incentives which have been deducted from sales.

Federal and State Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income tax using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Tax years that remain subject to examination are the years ending on and after December 31, 2015. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. However, no such interest and penalties were recorded as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation –Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director , or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.

Loss Per Common Share

ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilutive securities and non-vested forfeitable shares. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares or resulted in the issuance of common shares that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to members by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares, common share equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of stock options and non-vested forfeitable shares (using the treasury stock method) and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes payable (using the as-if converted method). These common share equivalents may be dilutive in the future. All potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted common shares outstanding as they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses and consisted of the following:

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2016-02 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption and is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. For the Company’s administrative office lease, the Company analyzed the lease and concluded that it would be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.

Operating lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Segment Reporting

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company operated in one business segment.

Risk Factors

The Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets, including conditions that are outside of its control, including the impact of health and safety concerns, such as those relating to the current COVID-19 outbreak. The most recent global financial crisis caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for the company’s products and its ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy could strain the Company’s domestic and international customers, possibly resulting in delays in customer payments. Any of the foregoing could harm the Company’s business and it cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact the Company’s business.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements including (i) requiring disclosures on changes in unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements; and (ii) a requirement to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our fair value measurement disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12 – Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 will become effective for us as of the beginning of our 2022 fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have upon our financial position and results of operations, if any.

In August 2020, the FASB issued 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)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exception. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In accordance with the SPAs, the March 2020 SPA, the April 2020 SPA and the related Notes, subject to the adjustments as defined in the respective SPA and Note, the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equaled the lesser of: (i) the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) during the previous twenty-five Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the date of this Note, and (ii) the Variable Conversion Price (as defined below) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company). The “Variable Conversion Price” meant 60% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 40%). “Market Price” meant the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) for the Company’s common stock during the twenty-five Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” meant, for any security as of any date, the lesser of: (i) the lowest trade price on the applicable trading market as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder or (ii) the closing bid price on the applicable trading market as reported by a Reporting Service designated by the Holder.

These Notes and related Warrants included a down-round provision under which the Notes conversion price and warrant exercise price could have been affected by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company determined that the terms of the Note contain terms that are not fixed monetary amounts at inception. Accordingly, under the provisions of ASC 815-40 - Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock, the embedded conversion options contained in the convertible instruments were bifurcated and accounted for as derivative liability at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value of the embedded conversion option derivatives was determined using the Binomial valuation model. At the end of each period and on the date that debt is converted into common shares, the Company revalues the embedded conversion option derivative liabilities.

During October and November 2019, the Company received the cash proceeds of $127,000, net of fees of $6,000. This discount of $6,000 was recognized and is being amortized to interest expense over the redemption terms of the Series A preferred shares or the date that the debt is convertible into common shares, whichever is shorter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements with an accredited investor whereby the investor agreed to purchase an aggregate of 154,800 unregistered shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock, par value $0.10 for $129,000, or $0.833 per share.

Series B Preferred Stock

On December 12, 2019, the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to designate a series of preferred stock, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado. The Certificate of Designations established 100,000 shares of the Series B, par value $0.10, having such designations, preferences, and rights as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion, in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Certificate of Designations became effective with the State of Colorado upon filing.

The Series B ranks senior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation with the Company’s common stock and junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company. The Series B has a stated value per share of $1,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designations (the “Stated Value”), and a dividend rate of 2% per annum of the Stated Value.

The Series B is subject to redemption (at Stated Value, plus any accrued, but unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Value”)) by the Company no later than three years after a Deemed Liquidation Event and at the Company’s option after one year from the issuance date of the Series B, subject to a ten-day notice (to allow holder conversion). A “Deemed Liquidation Event” will mean: (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Company is a constituent party and the Company issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Company or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of the surviving or resulting corporation or, if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or (b) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Company if substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Series B is convertible at the option of a holder or if the closing price of the common stock exceeds 400% of the Conversion Price for a period of twenty consecutive trading days, at the option of the Company. Conversion Price means a price per share of the common stock equal to 100% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock during the two years preceding or subsequent two years following the Issuance Date, subject to adjustment as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designations (the “Conversion Price”).

In the event of a conversion of any Series B, the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of common stock equal to the Liquidation Value multiplied by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted divided by the Conversion Price.

Upon liquidation of the Company after payment or provision for payment of liabilities of the Company and after payment or provision for any liquidation preference payable to the holders of any preferred stock ranking senior to the Series B but prior to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock or preferred stock ranking junior upon liquidation to the Series B, the holders of Series B will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series B equal to the Liquidation Value.

The Series B has voting rights per Series B Share equal to the Liquidation Value per share, divided by the Conversion Price, multiplied by fifty (50). Subject to applicable Colorado law, the holders of Series B will have functional voting control in situations requiring shareholder vote.

The Series B Preferred Stock will vest on May 1, 2021, subject to acceleration in the event of conversion or redemption.

On December 12, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to satisfy $108,000 of accrued compensation owed to its directors and executive officers (collectively, the “Management”) through a Liability Reduction Plan (the “Plan”). Under this Plan, Management agreed to accept 108 shares of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred stock in settlement of accrued compensation.

These Series B preferred share issuances with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock, at the option of the issuer, were evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the consolidated balance sheet was appropriate. As per the terms of the Series B preferred stock agreements, Series B preferred stock is redeemable for cash and other assets on the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event. A deemed liquidation event includes a change of control which is not in the Company’s control. As such, since Series B preferred stock is redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not within the Company’s control, the Series B preferred stock is classified as temporary equity.

The Company concluded that the Series B Preferred Stock represented an equity host and, therefore, the redemption feature of the Series B Preferred Stock was not considered to be clearly and closely related to the associated equity host instrument. However, the redemption features did not meet the net settlement criteria of a derivative and, therefore, were not considered embedded derivatives that required bifurcation. The Company also concluded that the conversion rights under the Series B Preferred Stock were clearly and closely related to the equity host instrument. Accordingly, the conversion rights feature on the Series B Preferred Stock were not considered an embedded derivative that required bifurcation.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company accrued a dividend payable of $1,740 which was included in preferred stock dividends on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ deficit. As of September 30, 2020, the net Series B Preferred Stock balance was $109,740 which includes stated liquidation value of $108,000 and accrued dividends payable of $1,740.

Series C Preferred Stock

On August 20, 2020, the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to designate a series of preferred stock, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado. The Certificate of Designations established 100,000 shares of the Series C, par value $0.10, having such designations, preferences, and rights as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion, in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Certificate of Designations became effective with the State of Colorado upon filing.

The Series C ranks senior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation with the Company’s common stock and junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company. The Series C has a stated value per share of $100, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designations (the “Stated Value”), and a dividend rate of 2% per annum of the Stated Value.

The Company has no option to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock. If the Company determines to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up its business and affairs, or effect any Deemed Liquidation Event as defined below, each of which has been approved by the holders of a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, the Company will redeem all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such mandatory redemption event at a price per share of Series C Preferred Stock equal to the aggregate Series C Liquidation Value for the shares of Series C Preferred Stock being redeemed.

The Company will deliver ten-day advance written notice prior to the consummation of any mandatory redemption event via email or overnight courier (“Notice of Mandatory Redemption”) to each Holder whose shares are to be redeemed. The Series C is subject to redemption at Stated Value, plus any accrued, but unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Value”)) by the Company. Upon receipt by any Holder of a Notice of Mandatory Redemption, if Holder does not choose to convert, such Holder will promptly submit to the Company such Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock certificates on the Redemption Payment Date. Upon receipt of such Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock certificates, the Company will pay the applicable redemption price to such Holder in cash. A “Deemed Liquidation Event” will mean: (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Company is a constituent party and the Company issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Company or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of the surviving or resulting corporation or, if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or (b) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Company if substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Series C is convertible at the option of a holder at any time following the issuance date. In the event of a conversion of any Series C Preferred Stock, the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Conversion Shares equal to (x) the sum of (1) the Stated Value per share of Series C Preferred Stock plus (2) any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such Holder and subject to the Holder Conversion Notice, divided by (z) the Conversion Price with respect to such Series C Preferred Stock. Conversion Price means a price per share of the common stock equal to the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock for any trading day during the two years preceding the date of delivery of the conversion notice, subject to adjustment as otherwise provided in the Series C Certificate of Designation.

Upon liquidation of the Company after payment or provision for payment of liabilities of the Company and after payment or provision for any liquidation preference payable to the holders of any preferred stock ranking senior to the Series C but prior to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock or preferred stock ranking junior upon liquidation to the Series C, the holders of Series C will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series C equal to the Liquidation Value.

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters requiring shareholder vote. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to the number of votes per share based on the calculation of the number of conversion shares of Series C Preferred Stock is then convertible.

During August and September 2020, the Company entered into subscription agreements with an accredited investor whereby the investor agreed to purchase an aggregate of purchase 6,300 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for $630,000, or $100.00 per share (the “Stated Value”), which were used to pay off various discounted convertible instruments and redeem Series A preferred stock.

These Series C preferred share issuances with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock, at the option of the holder, were evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the condensed consolidated balance sheet was appropriate. As per the terms of the Series C preferred stock agreements, Series C preferred stock is redeemable for cash and other assets on the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event. A deemed liquidation event includes a change of control which is not in the Company’s control. As such, since Series C preferred stock is redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not within the Company’s control, the Series C preferred stock is classified as temporary equity.

The Company concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock represented an equity host and, therefore, the redemption feature of the Series C Preferred Stock was not considered to be clearly and closely related to the associated equity host instrument. However, the redemption features did not meet the net settlement criteria of a derivative and, therefore, were not considered embedded derivatives that required bifurcation. The Company also concluded that the conversion rights under the Series C Preferred Stock were clearly and closely related to the equity host instrument. Accordingly, the conversion rights feature on the Series C Preferred Stock were not considered an embedded derivative that required bifurcation.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company accrued a dividend payable of $1,055 which was included in preferred stock dividends on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ deficit. As of September 30, 2020, the net Series C Preferred Stock balance was $631,055 which includes stated liquidation value of $630,000 and accrued dividends payable of $1,055.

Warrants

On March 30, 2020 and on April 23, 2020, in connection with Purchase Agreements with an accredited investor (See Note 6), the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate amount up to 288,750 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants were exercisable at any time on or after the date of the issuance and entitled this investor to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years from the initial date the warrants become exercisable. Under the terms of the Warrants, the holder was entitled to exercise the Warrants to purchase up to 288,750 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.10, subject to adjustment as detailed in the Warrants. In connection with the issuance of the warrants, on the initial measurement date, the relative fair value of the warrants of $14,498 was recorded as a debt discount and an increase in paid-in capital (See Note 6). In September 2020, in connection with the repayment of the debt, these warrants were cancelled.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued common shares related to the sale of common stock and issued shares upon the conversion of convertible debt at prices lower than the warrant exercise price of $0.10 and accordingly, the warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the warrant exercise price was reduced to $0.003 per share. As a result of the trigger of down-round provisions, the Company calculated the difference between the warrants fair value on the date the down round feature was triggered using the current exercise price and the new exercise price. If applicable, a deemed dividend shall be recorded as an increase in accumulated deficit and increase in paid-in capital and increased the net loss to common shareholders by the same amount. Since the fair value of the warrants using the new exercise price was less than the initial fair value amount, no deemed dividend was recorded. In connection with the repayment of the debt, the Company and investor agreed upon a fixed warrant exercise price of $0.01 per share.

2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan

On June 7, 2018, a majority of the Company’s shareholders and its board approved the adoption of a 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to advance the interests of the Company, its affiliates and its stockholders and promote the long-term growth of the Company by providing employees, non-employee directors and third-party service providers with incentives to maximize stockholder value and to otherwise contribute to the success of the Company and its affiliates, thereby aligning the interests of such individuals with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and providing them additional incentives to continue in their employment or affiliation with the Company. The Plan was adopted on June 7, 2018 and effective on August 2, 2018. Under the 2018 Plan, the Plan Administrator may grant:

An award granted under the 2018 Plan must include a minimum vesting period of at least one year, provided, however, that an award may provide that the award will vest before the completion of such one-year period upon the death or qualifying disability of the grantee of the award or a change of control of the Company and awards covering, in the aggregate, 25,000,000 shares of our Common Stock may be issued without any minimum vesting period.

The aggregate number of shares of common stock and number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be subject to incentive stock options granted under the 2018 Plan is 50,000,000 shares, of which 11,445,698 shares have been issued or granted under incentive stock options and 23,700,000 shares of restricted stock have been issued as of September 30, 2020. All shares underlying grants are expected to be issued from the Company’s unissued authorized shares available.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The Company is monitoring this closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and the Company’s business is uncertain. As of November 16, 2020, the Company’s facilities are open. However, the Company has seen a material decrease in sales from its international customers as a result of the unprecedented public health crisis from the COVID-19 pandemic and a decrease in domestic sales due to a decrease in business spending on discretionary items. As a result, the Company’s international customers have delayed the ordering of products and have delayed payment of balances due to the Company. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that there will be an impact on its operations. The Company cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on its business if customer’s business remains closed or if customers are otherwise unable or unwilling to make payments to the Company. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the Company’s business, including weakened demand for its products and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.

NOTE 11 – CONCENTRATIONS

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable and cash deposits.

The Company places its cash in banks at levels that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. There were no balances in excess of FDIC insured levels as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through September 30, 2020.

Geographic Concentrations of Sales

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, all sales were in the United States. No other geographical area accounted for any sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Customer Concentrations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, one customer accounted for approximately 24.0% of total sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, one customer accounted for approximately 20.1% of total sales. A reduction in sales from or loss of such customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. At September 30, 2020, three customers accounted for 77.5% of the total accounts receivable balance.

Vendor Concentrations

Generally, the Company purchases substantially all of its inventory from three suppliers. The loss of these suppliers may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. However, the Company believes that, if necessary, alternate vendors could supply similar products in adequate quantities to avoid material disruptions to operations.

NOTE 12 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

The revenue that the Company recognizes arises from purchase requests the Company receives from its customers. The Company’s performance obligations under the purchase orders correspond to each shipment of product that the Company makes to its customer under the purchase orders; as a result, each purchase order generally contains more than one performance obligation based on the number of products ordered, the quantity of product to be shipped and the mode of shipment requested by the customer. Control of the Company’s products transfers to its customers when the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the Company’s products, which generally occurs at the later of when the customer obtains title to the product or when the customer assumes risk of loss of the product. The transfer of control generally occurs at a point of shipment from the Company’s warehouse. Once this occurs, the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and the Company recognizes revenue.

(Unaudited)

When the Company receives a purchase order from a customer, the Company is obligated to provide the product during a mutually agreed upon time period. Depending on the terms of the purchase order, either the Company or the customer arranges delivery of the product to the customer’s intended destination. In situations where the Company has agreed to arrange delivery of the product to the customer’s intended destination and control of the product transfers upon loading of the Company’s product onto transportation equipment, the Company has elected to account for any freight income associated with the delivery of these products as freight revenue, since this activity fulfills the Company’s obligation to transfer the product to the customer.

Transaction Price

The Company agrees with its customers on the selling price of each transaction. This transaction price is generally based on the product, market conditions, including supply and demand balances and freight. In the Company’s contracts with customers, the Company allocates the entire transaction price to the sale of product to the customer, which is the basis for the determination of the relative standalone selling price allocated to each performance obligation. Returns of the Company’s product by its customers are permitted only when the product is not to specification and were not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Any sales tax, value added tax, and other tax the Company collects concurrently with its revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

Revenue Disaggregation

The Company tracks its revenue by product. The following table summarizes our revenue by product for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

NOTE 13 – OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE (“ROU”) ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

In October 2019, the Company entered into an 18-month lease agreement for the lease of office and warehouse space under a non-cancelable operating lease through May 31, 2021. From the lease commencement date of December 1, 2019 until November 30, 2020, monthly rent shall be $4,444 and from December 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021, monthly rent shall be $4,577 per month.

In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, the Company had elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs (see Note 2). In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less. Since the terms of the Company’s operating lease for its office space prior to October 2019 was 12 months or less on the date of adoption, pursuant to ASC 842, the Company determined that the lease met the definition of a short-term lease and the Company did not recognize the right-of use asset and lease liability arising from this lease. Upon renewal of the lease in October 2019, the Company analyzed the new lease and determined it is required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheet, at fair value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, in connection with its operating leases, the Company recorded rent expense of $69,260 and $75,434, respectively, which is expensed during the period and included in operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The significant assumption used to determine the present value of the lease liability in October 2019 was a discount rate of 12% which was based on the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate.

Overview

We are a nanotechnology company and sole owner, developer and manufacturer of the patented C-Bond technology. The Company is engaged in the implementation of proprietary nanotechnology applications and processes to enhance properties of strength, functionality and sustainability of brittle material systems. Our present primary focus is in the multi-billion-dollar glass and window film industry with target markets in the United States and internationally. We operate in two divisions: C-Bond Transportation Solutions and C-Bond Safety Solutions.

To date, we have filed, licensed and/or acquired a total of 23 individual patents and patent applications spanning core and strategic nano-technology applications and processes. Our intellectual property portfolio was recently valued at $33.7 million by a leading, independent, global intellectual property valuation firm. The IP valuation firm’s review covered the valuation of our intangible assets including our developed technology, trade name, customer relationships, and assembled workforce, and the Company’s determination of the fair value or other amounts of any assets and liabilities including current assets, real property, personal property, and current liabilities. Our developed technology includes C-Bond NanoShield, C-Bond Secure, and C-Bond BRS. The valuation firm also reviewed historical and projected financial information for the Company giving consideration to general economic and industry trends.

On April 25, 2018, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Acquisition Sub, merged with and into C-Bond Systems, LLC, pursuant to which C-Bond Systems, LLC was the surviving corporation and became our wholly-owned subsidiary. All of the outstanding membership interests of C-Bond Systems, LLC were converted into shares of our common stock, as described in more detail below. We changed our name to C-Bond Systems, Inc. on July 18, 2018.

On May 20, 2020, we entered into a two-year Distributor Agreement with an entity where we were appointed as a distributor to exclusively sell MB-10 Disinfectant Tablets for use in certain markets. MB-10 Disinfectant Tablets are the most convenient way yet to deliver the benefits of chlorine dioxide to hygiene or biosafety programs.

Proven effective against emerging viral pathogens, including enveloped and large and small non-enveloped viruses. MB-10 provides fast-acting virus and bacteria protection that is safe for all vehicle surfaces including LED screens and electronics without leaving a residue or odor. We were appointed as a distributor to exclusively sell MB-10 Disinfectant Tablets for use in the following markets:

The following discussion highlights our results of operations and the principal factors that have affected our financial condition as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Report, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

Operating Overview

We are a nanotechnology company and sole owner, developer and manufacturer of the patented C-Bond technology. We are engaged in the implementation of proprietary nanotechnology applications and processes to enhance properties of strength, functionality and sustainability of brittle material systems. Our present primary focus is in the multi-billion-dollar glass and window film industry with target markets in the United States and internationally. The Company operates in two divisions: C-Bond Transportation Solutions, which sells a windshield strengthening water repellant solution as well as a disinfection product and C-Bond Safety Solutions, which sells multi-purpose glass strengthening primer and window film mounting solutions (“C-Bond Secure”), ballistic resistant film systems (C-Bond BRS”) and disinfection products. The C-Bond technology enables ordinary glass to dissipate energy by permeating the glass surface and detecting microscopic flaws and defects that are randomly distributed all over the glass surface. C-Bond’s unique qualities then work to locate and repair the identified surface imperfections that weaken the glass composite structure and ultimately act as failure initiators. The C-Bond formula is engineered to maintain original glass design integrity while increasing the mechanical performance properties of the glass unit. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic we created partnerships to distribute disinfection related products which we began to sell in the second quarter of 2020.

Revenue is generated by the sale of products through distributors and directly to dealers. C-Bond NanoShield and disinfection sales are generated through large distribution channels. Sales of C-Bond Secure are made to window film dealers who offer the product as an upsell during installation. Revenue is generated from the sale of C-Bond BRS on a project basis. C-Bond BRS is specified into project plans providing authorized installers a competitive advantage.

Product sales are recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and title is transferred and are recorded net of any discounts or allowances.

We anticipate continued losses requiring either revenue generation to achieve sustained profitability or obtaining additional financial resources to maintain operations as well as research and development into product performance and new product verticals.

Going Concern

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had a net loss and cash used in operations of $2,619,752 and $1,132,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Additionally, we had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ deficit, and working capital deficit of $42,622,562, $2,718,413 and $1,979,419 at September 30, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. We are seeking to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund our operations in the future. If we are unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future to fund our business plan, management expects that we will need to curtail our operations. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. We are monitoring this closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. As of May 14, 2020, our facilities are open. However, we have seen a material decrease in sales from our international customers as a result of the unprecedented public health crisis from the COVID-19 pandemic and a decrease in domestic sales due to a decrease in business spending on discretionary items. As a result, our international customers have delayed the ordering of products and have delayed payment of balances due to us. Accordingly, we anticipate that there will be an impact on our operations. We cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on our business if customer’s business remains closed or if customers are otherwise unable or unwilling to make payments to us. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our products and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion and analysis of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management continually evaluates such estimates, including those related to estimates for allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable, the estimates for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, the fair value of a beneficial conversion feature, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Accounts Receivable

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized as general and administrative expense.

Inventory

Inventory, consisting of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value utilizing the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A reserve is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected net realizable value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the net realizable value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates and included in cost of sales.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, FASB issued an update Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) (“ASU 2014-09”) establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASU 2014-09, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. The Company adopted this standard in 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, which requires applying the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed as of the effective date and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Based on an evaluation of the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s sources of revenue, the Company has concluded that ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the process for, timing of, and presentation and disclosure of revenue recognition from customers and there was no cumulative effect adjustment.

The Company sells its products primarily to distributors and authorized dealers. Product sales are recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and title is transferred and are recorded net of any discounts or allowances.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We have certain financial instruments that are embedded derivatives associated with capital raises. We evaluate all our financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 810-10-05-4 and 815-40. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any embedded derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss on extinguishment.

In July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. These amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down-round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down-round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. The guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2019 and we elected to record the effect of this adoption, if any, retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of 2019, the period which the amendment is effective. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-11 had no effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation –Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director , or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.

See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of significant accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements.

Results of Operations

The following comparative analysis on results of operations was based primarily on the comparative consolidated financial statements, footnotes and related information for the periods identified below and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, which are included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The results discussed below are for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Sales

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, sales amounted to $252,940 as compared to $171,383 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $81,557, or 47.6%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the sale of disinfection products of $116,851 and an increase in C-Bond Nanoshield solution sales of $34,294, offset by a decrease in sales of C-Bond ballistic resistant glass protection systems and C-Bond Secure window film application solution of $68,655, and a decrease in installation and freight and delivery revenue of $933. The decrease in sales of C-Bond ballistic resistant glass protection systems and C-Bond Secure window film application solution was primarily due to a decrease in both domestic and international sales resulting from the shutdown of economies caused by COVID-19. These decreases were offset by the sale of disinfection products which consisted primarily of hand sanitizer. and MB-10 tablets and related products.

For the nine months ended September, 2020, sales amounted to $356,770 as compared to $416,178 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $59,408, or 14.8%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales of C-Bond ballistic resistant glass protection systems and C-Bond Secure window film solution of $184,113, and a decrease in installation and freight and delivery revenue of $10,931, offset by an increase in C-Bond Nanoshield solution sales of $647 and an increase in the sale of disinfection products of $134,989 in our new C-Bond Safety Solutions division. The decrease in sales of C-Bond ballistic resistant glass protection systems and C-Bond multi-purpose glass protection system was primarily due to a decrease in both domestic and international sales resulting from the shutdown of economies caused by COVID-19. These decreases were offset by the sale of disinfection products which consisted primarily of hand sanitizer and MB-10 tablets and related products.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold is comprised primarily of cost of raw materials and finished inventory sold, packaging costs, and warranty costs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, cost of sales amounted to $65,638 as compared to $30,230 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $35,408, or 117.1%. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to an increase in cost of sales related to disinfection products and an increase in C-Bond Nanoshield solution, offset by a decrease in sales of C-Bond ballistic resistant glass protection systems and C-Bond Secure window film application solution.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cost of sales amounted to $106,307 as compared to $86,367 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $19,940, or 23.1%. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to a decrease in sales of C-Bond ballistic resistant glass protection systems and C-Bond Secure window film application solution, offset by an increase in cost of sales related to disinfection products.

Gross Profit

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, gross profit amounted to $187,302, or 74.0% of sales, as compared to $141,153, or 82.4% of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $46,169, or 32.7%. This increase in gross profits is primarily the result of an increase in the sales of disinfection products offset by a reduction in C-Bond BRS sales and an implemented price decrease on C-Bond Secure window film application solution. Additionally, we recognize a lower gross profit margin on disinfection products as compared to C-Bond BRS and C-Bond Secure products.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, gross profit amounted to $250,463, or 70.2% of sales, as compared to $329,811, or 79.3% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $79,348, or 24.1%. This decrease in gross profits is primarily the result lower gross recognized on the reduction in sales of C-Bond BRS sales and an implemented price decrease on C-Bond Secure window film application solution.

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, operating expenses amounted to $852,760 as compared to $1,534,401 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $681,641, or 44.4%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, operating expenses amounted to $2,932,868 as compared to $5,632,121 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $2,699,253, or 47.9%.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, operating expenses consisted of the following:

Compensation and Related Benefits

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of contracted development services, third party testing laboratories, materials used and allocated overhead expenses.

We believe continued investment is important to attaining our strategic objectives and expect research and development expenses to increase in the foreseeable future, if working capital is available.

Professional Fees

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of rent, insurance, depreciation expense, sale and marketing, delivery and freight, travel and entertainment, and other office expenses.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase due to the anticipated growth of our business and as the economy emerges from the pandemic.

Loss from Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, loss from operations decreased by $727,790, or 52.2%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, loss from operations decreased by $2,619,905, or 49.4%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Other Income (Expenses), net

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, other income, net amounted to $1,145,854 as compared to other expenses, net of $(408,417) for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a positive change of $1,554,271, or 380.6%. This change was due to a change in derivative income (expense) of $1,034,410 attributable to the recording of or extinguishment of derivative liabilities related to convertible debt and by the recording of a gain from debt extinguishment of $736,406 related to the conversion of convertible debt, offset by an increase in interest expense of $216,545 related to the amortization of debt discount, an increase in interest-bearing debt, and an increase in interest expense related to accretion of debt discount related to Series A preferred shares.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, other income, net amounted to $62,653 as compared to other expenses, net of $(521,056) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a positive change of $583,709, or 112.0%. This change was due to a decrease in derivative expense of $290,382 attributable to the recording of or extinguishment of derivative liabilities related to convertible debt and by the recording of a gain from debt extinguishment of $846,814 related to the conversion of convertible debt and the settlement of accounts payable, offset by an increase in interest expense of $561,487 related to the amortization of debt discount, an increase in interest-bearing debt, and an increase in interest expense related to accretion of debt discount related to Series A preferred shares.

Net Income (Loss)

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net income amounted to $480,396, or $0.00 per common share (basic and diluted), as compared to a net loss of $(1,801,665), or $(0.02) per common share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a positive change of $2,282,061. This positive change was primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit, a decrease in operating expenses, and an increase in other income, net as discussed above.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net loss amounted to $2,619,752, or $(0.02) per common share (basic and diluted), as compared to $5,823,366, or $(0.07) per common share (basic and diluted), for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $3,203,614. The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating expenses and a decrease in other expenses as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had cash of $173,592 and $77,211 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Our primary uses of cash have been for salaries, fees paid to third parties for professional services, research and development expense, and general and administrative expenses. We have received funds from the sales of products and from various financing activities such as from the sale of our common shares, from the sale of preferred shares, and from debt financings. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in changes in our liquidity over the near to long term:

Since inception, we have raised proceeds from the sale of common shares and preferred shares, and from debt to fund our operations and research and development initiatives.

In connection with subscription agreements dated January 13, 2020 and February 18, 2020, we received cash proceeds of $280,000 from an investor for the purchase of 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.04 per share.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements with an accredited investor whereby the investor agreed to purchase an aggregate of 154,800 unregistered shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock, par value $0.10 for $129,000, or $0.833 per share.

The conversion price was based on contractual terms of the related Series A preferred shares. Additionally, on August 24, 2020, we settled with the investor and redeemed the remaining 103,200 Series A preferred shares for a cash payment of $117.047 which included the redemption of stated value of $103,200, accrued dividends of $1,562, and redemption penalties of $12,285 which was included in interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

On March 30, 2020, we closed on a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “March 2020 SPA”) with an accredited investor. Pursuant to the terms of the March 2020 SPA, we issued and sold to this investor a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $57,750 and a warrant to purchase up to 144,375 shares of the Company’s common stock. We received net proceeds of $50,000, net of original issue discount of $5,000 and origination fees of $2,750. This Note bears interest at 12% per annum and becomes due and payable on December 30, 2020.

On April 23, 2020, we closed on a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “April 2020 SPA”) with an accredited investor. Pursuant to the terms of the April 2020 SPA, we issued and sold to this investor a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $57,750 and a warrant to purchase up to 144,375 shares of the Company’s common stock. We received net proceeds of $50,000, net of original issue discount of $5,000 and origination fees of $2,750. The Note bears interest at 12% per annum and becomes due and payable on January 23, 2021.

In accordance with the March 2020 SPA and April 2020 SPA and the related Notes, subject to the adjustments as defined in the respective SPA and Note, the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the lesser of: (i) the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) during the previous twenty-five Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the date of this Note, and (ii) the Variable Conversion Price (as defined below) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 60% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 40%). “Market Price” means the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) for the Company’s common stock during the twenty-five Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the lesser of: (i) the lowest trade price on the applicable trading market as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder or (ii) the closing bid price on the applicable trading market as reported by a Reporting Service designated by the Holder. We may prepay the Note at any time prior to its six-month anniversary, subject to pre-payment charges as detailed in the Note.

The PPP Loan matures on April 28, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum. The PPP Loan is payable in 18 equal monthly payments of approximately $8,900 commencing November 1, 2020. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. We may apply to have the loan forgiven pursuant to the terms of the PPP if certain criteria are met.

On May 8, 2020, we closed a subscription agreement with an accredited investor (the “Investor”) whereby the Investor purchased 7,000,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for proceeds of $161,000, or $0.023 per share.

In connection with subscription agreements dated July 2, 2020, we received cash proceeds of $280,000 from investors for the purchase of 21,538,462 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.013 per share.

During August and September 2020, we entered into subscription agreements with an accredited investor whereby the investor agreed to purchase an aggregate of purchase 6,300 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for $630,000, or $100.00 per share (the “Stated Value”), which were used to pay off various discounted convertible instruments and redeem Series A preferred stock.

Additional cash liquidity is generated from product sales. However, to date, we are not profitable, and we cannot provide any assurances that we will be profitable. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our current operating plans.

Cash Flows

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $1,132,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of $909,935 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $222,907.

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily reflected a net loss of $2,619,752, which was then adjusted for the add-back (deduction) of non-cash items primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization of $11,141, stock-based compensation expense of $942,850, stock-based professional fees of $69,917, non-cash interest expense related to a put premium on convertible debt of $47,405, derivative expense of $90,623, accretion of preferred share stated value to interest expense of $52,400, bad debt expense of $19,400, non-cash gain on debt extinguishment of $(877,823), and the amortization of debt discount to interest expense of $424,001, and changes in operating assets and liabilities consisting primarily of a decrease in accounts receivable of $60,079, an increase in accounts payable of $55,721, an increase in accrued expenses of $88,771, and an increase in accrued compensation of $518,736, offset by an increase in inventory of $27,985. On our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020, we reflected an increase in inventory and accounts payable of $131,500 related to the purchase of inventory from one vendor. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we cancelled this purchase and accordingly, our inventory and accounts payable balance decreased by $131,500.

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily reflected a net loss of $5,823,366, which was then adjusted for the add-back of non-cash items consisting of depreciation and amortization of $19,208, stock-based compensation expense of $3,392,522, stock-based professional fees of $292,785, non-cash interest expense related to a put premium on convertible debt of $57,423, a non-cash gain on extinguishment of debt of $31,009, derivative expense of $381,005, and the amortization of debt discount to interest expense of $49,042, and changes in operating assets and liabilities consisting primarily of a decrease in accounts receivable of $45,096, an increase in accounts payable of $161,330, and increase in accrued expenses of $51,097, and an increase in accrued compensation of $490,696.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,229,223 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $882,855 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $721,000, proceeds from the sale of Series A preferred shares of $120,000, proceeds from convertible notes payable of $100,000, proceeds from the sale of Series C preferred shares of $630,000, and proceeds from note payable of $156,200, offset by the repayment of convertible notes payable of $393,215 and the redemption of Series A preferred shares of $104,762.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we received net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $630,000, proceeds from the collection of subscriptions receivable related to the exercise of stock options of $19,185, proceeds from a note payable of $25,000, and proceeds from convertible notes payable of $459,250, offset by the repayment of notes payable of $12,500 and the repayment of convertible debt of $238,080.

Funding Requirements

We expect the primary use of capital to continue to be salaries, third party outside research and testing services, product and research supplies, legal and regulatory expenses and general overhead costs including sales and marketing. Additional uses of capital will include additional headcount, tools and equipment, capacity expansion and operational control software. We believe the estimated net proceeds from the merger with current cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements not including potential product sales. Additional capital will be required to further research new product verticals and enhancements to current product offerings based on customer requirements.

As of September 30, 2020, we determined that there was substantial doubt about our ability to maintain operations as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Management cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. We will seek to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund operations in the future. Although we have historically raised capital from sales of common shares and from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If we are unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the company will need to curtail its operations. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially as a result of a number of factors. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong and could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our capital requirements are difficult to forecast. Please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2020 for additional risks associated with our capital requirements.

Until such time as we generate substantial product revenue to offset operational expenses, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of public and private equity offerings, debt financing, collaborative research and licensing agreements. We may be unable to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed or on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Obligations

We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2020, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

We enter into agreements in the normal course of business with contracted research and testing organization, product distribution and material vendors which are payable or cancelable at any time with 30-day prior written approval.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during the period presented as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of September 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

As reported in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of that date because of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: (1) the lack of multiples levels of management review on complex business, accounting and financial reporting issues, and (2) a lack of adequate segregation of duties as a result of our limited financial resources to support hiring of personnel. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we developed and implemented system and control procedure manuals and plan on developing and implementing additional controls and procedures in the future. Until such time as we expand our staff to include additional accounting and executive personnel, it is likely we will continue to report material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control 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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Unfavorable global economic, business or political conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets, including conditions that are outside of our control, including the impact of health and safety concerns, such as those relating to the current COVID-19 outbreak. The most recent global financial crisis caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our products and our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy could strain our domestic and international customers, possibly resulting in delays in customer payments. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The above securities were issued in reliance upon the exemptions provided by Section 4(a) (2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

As of June 30, 2019, we were in default of certain requirements under a Loan Agreement with a principal amount of $400,000, including not meeting the requirement regarding minimum asset amount as defined therein. Upon the occurrence of such event of defaults, the Lender may, at its option and in accordance with the Loan Agreement, declare all obligations immediately due and payable, however, as of the date of this Report, the Lender has not made any such declaration. As of September 30, 2020 and as of the date of this report, we are in default on monthly interest payments of $130,093.
