PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Company Background and Nature of Business
eWellness Healthcare Corporation (the “eWellness”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 7, 2011.
eWellness Healthcare Corporation is the first physical therapy telehealth company to offer real-time distance monitored assessments and treatments. On September 15, 2020, the Company and Bistromatics signed an agreement that transferred all worldwide marketing and Intellectual Property Rights or claims to the Company’s Phzio, Phzio TeleRehab and MSK 360 platforms to Bistromatics in return for a 15% ownership in Bistromatics. This agreement eliminated all past due professional fees of $748,832. The transfer of rights was completed on December 31, 2020.
During the last quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors and management determined that while it would continue its efforts and resources involving physical therapy and telemedicine, it would also pursue other health-related business opportunities. With the Company’s announced plan to diversify its health-related business beyond its telemedicine operations, which telemedicine operations will continue, the Company on May 18, 2021, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between the Company, EWLL Acquisition (a new wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) and a recently formed private Nevada company controlled by a third party, American Health Protection, Inc.(“AMHP”). pursuant to which AMHP merged with EWLL Acquisition, with AMHP being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On July 14, 2021, the Company filed the requisite Articles of Merger with the State of Nevada and, as a result, AMHP became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and EWLL Acquisition ceased to exist.
On April 19, 2021, the Company filed a DEF 14C to disclose to the stockholders the ratification and approval by Joint Written Consent, based upon the unanimous approval by our Board of Directors and the consent of the Majority Consenting Stockholders, of the corporate actions to file an amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to: (i) change the name of the Company from eWellness Healthcare Corporation to American Health Protection Corp. (“Name Change”); (ii) change the par value of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock from $0.001 per share to $0.0001 per share (“Par Value Change”); and (iii) implement the 1:2,000 reverse split of our Common Stock and the shares underlying conversion of the Company’s securities convertible into Common Stock together with the shares reserved for such conversions, on a one for two thousand (1:2,000) basis (“Reverse Split”). The Name Change, Par Value Change and Reverse Split are sometimes referred to as the “Corporate Actions”, which Corporate Actions must be approved by FINRA. The application for approval of these actions to FINRA has not yet been filed.
As stated in the DEF 14C, the Name Change from eWellness Healthcare Corporation to American Health Protection Corp. was to reflect the Company’s plan to diversify its business operations from the telemedicine business and the proprietary PHZIO System to include other health related services to its primary target market focused on small and mid-sized corporate clients. The Par Value Change of the Company’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock from $0.001 per share to $0.0001 per share was the result that for more than the past six months (preceding the filing of the DEF 14C), the price of its Common Stock on the OTC Markets had been less than the $0.001 par value of its Common Stock. As a result, the Company had not been able to raise capital by the issuance of shares of Common Stock at less than the $0.001 par value and, in addition, the Company could not raise capital through the issuance of shares of convertible Preferred Stock having a conversion price of less than the $0.001 par value of the Common Stock. Lastly, the rationale for the Reverse Split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a one for two thousand (1:2,000) basis was needed because the outstanding shares and shares reserved for convertible debt conversion resulted in no shares being available for capital raise purposes.
Employees
At the year ended December 31, 2021, we had 2 employees and various consultants.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent of the Company’s stock is VStock Transfer LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598, (212) 828-8436.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a great deal of risk. Careful consideration should be made of the following factors as well as other information included in this Annual Report before deciding to purchase our common stock. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be affected materially and adversely by any or all of these risks.
4 |
THE FOLLOWING MATTERS MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR PROSPECTS, FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE. REFERENCE TO THIS CAUTIONARY STATEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF A FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT OR STATEMENTS SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A STATEMENT THAT ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING FACTORS MAY CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE IN SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT OR STATEMENTS.
Risks Related to our Financial Condition
Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
The audited financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result if we cease to continue as a going concern. We believe that to continue as a going concern we will need approximately $500,000 per year simply to cover the administrative, legal and accounting fees. We plan to fund these expenses primarily through cash flow, the sale of restricted shares of our common stock and the issuance of convertible notes.
Based on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. To date we have not generated any revenue.
Investing in our securities involves a great deal of risk. Careful consideration should be made of the following factors as well as other information included in this Prospectus before deciding to purchase our common stock. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be affected materially and adversely by any or all these risks.
We may need to raise additional capital to fund continuing operations and an inability to raise the necessary capital or to do so on acceptable terms could threaten the success of our business.
To date, our operations have been funded entirely from the proceeds from equity and debt financings or loans from our management. We currently anticipate that our available capital resources will be insufficient to meet our expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the near future. We anticipate that we will require an additional $1.5 million during the next twelve months to satisfy our business plan. However, such resources may not be sufficient to fund the long-term growth of our business. If we determine that it is necessary to raise additional funds, we may choose to do so through strategic collaborations, licensing arrangements through our “White Labelling” strategy, public or private equity or debt financing, a bank line of credit, or other arrangements.
We cannot be sure that any additional funding will be available on terms favorable to us or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to our shareholders, new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of Common stock. Debt or equity financing may subject us to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs. If we obtain funding through a strategic collaboration or licensing arrangement, we may be required to relinquish our rights to our product or marketing territories. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be required to defer, reduce or eliminate certain planned expenditures or significantly curtail our operations.
We have a history of net losses; we may never achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow from operations.
We have incurred net losses in each fiscal year since our inception, including net losses of $451,707 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $8,771,527 for the year ended December 31, 2020. As of the year ended December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $40,069,797. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenditures to develop and market our services and could continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future. We may never achieve profitability or positive cash flow in the future, and even if we do, we may not be able to continue being profitable.
5 |
We will need to increase the size of our organization and may experience difficulties in managing growth.
At present, we are a small company. We expect to experience a period of expansion in headcount, infrastructure and overhead and anticipate that further expansion will be required to address potential growth and market opportunities. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate new managers. Our future financial performance and its ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on its ability to manage any future growth effectively.
Dependence on Key Existing and Future Personnel
Our success will depend, to a large degree, upon the efforts and abilities of our officers and key management employees. The loss of the services of one or more of our key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, as our business model is implemented, we will need to recruit and retain additional management and key employees in virtually all phases of our operations. Key employees will require a strong background in our industry. We cannot assure that we will be able to successfully attract and retain key personnel.
Currently, our management’s participation in our business and operations is limited
To date, we have been unable to offer cash compensation to our officers due to our lack of revenue. Accordingly, each of the Company’s executive officers maintain jobs outside of their position at eWellness. Although each of our executive officers have prepared to devote their efforts, on a full-time basis, towards our objectives once we can afford executive compensation commensurate with that being paid in the marketplace, until such time, our officers will not devote their full time and attention to the operations of the Company. None of our officers have committed a specific portion of their time or an approximate number of hours per week in writing to the objectives of the company and no assurances can be given as to when we will be financially able to engage our officers on a full-time basis and therefore, until such time, it is possible that the inability of such persons to devote their full-time attention to the Company may result in delays in progress toward implementing our business plan.
Risks Related to Regulation
We incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company and our management will have to devote substantial time to public company compliance obligations
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the stock exchange, has imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance requirements and any new requirements that the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 may impose on public companies. Moreover, these rules and regulations, along with compliance with accounting principles and regulatory interpretations of such principles, have increased and will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and have made and will continue to make some activities more time consuming and costly. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or our board committees, or as executive officers. We will evaluate the need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting and financial knowledge. We estimate the additional costs we expect to incur as a result of being a public company to be up to $500,000 annually.
Part of the requirements as a public company will be to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company.
6 |
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
We cannot assure you that we will not, in the future, identify areas requiring improvement in our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure that the measures we will take to remediate any areas in need of improvement will be successful or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future as we continue our growth. If we are unable to maintain appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.
As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight.
Our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired, which could result in loss of investor confidence and could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Risks Relating to Our Securities
There is a limited market for our common stock, and there may never be, an active market for our common stock and we cannot assure you that the common stock will remain liquid or that it will continue to be listed on a securities exchange.
Our common stock is listed on the pink sheets and trades under the symbol “EWLLD”. An investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the common stock and trading of our common stock may be extremely sporadic. For example, several days may pass before any shares may be traded. A more active market for the common stock may never develop. In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling the common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.
Until our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our common stock will continue to be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock.
7 |
Our Common stock is subject to the “Penny Stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our stock is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
● | That a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and | |
● | The broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
● | Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and | |
● | Make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
● | Sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and | |
● | That the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also must be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Our common stock is thinly traded, sale of your holding may take a considerable amount of time.
Our shares of our common stock are thinly traded on the OTCQB Market, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. Consequently, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give you no assurance that you will be able to sell your shares at or near bid prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
8 |
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to amended Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information and notice requirements. Any substantial sales of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
Our internal control over financial reporting may have weaknesses and conditions that could require correction or remediation, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
Our share price could be volatile, and our trading volume may fluctuate substantially.
The price of our common shares has been and may in the future continue to be extremely volatile, with the sale price fluctuating from a low of $0.0001 to a high of $200.00 since trading began in 2016. Many factors could have a significant impact on the future price of our common shares, including:
● | our inability to raise additional capital to fund our operations; | |
● | our failure to successfully implement our business objectives and strategic growth plans; | |
● | compliance with ongoing regulatory requirements; | |
● | market acceptance of our product; | |
● | changes in government regulations; | |
● | general economic conditions and other external factors; and | |
● | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial and operating results; and the degree of trading liquidity in our common shares. |
Our annual and quarterly results may fluctuate, which may cause substantial fluctuations in our common stock price.
Our annual and quarterly operating results may in the future fluctuate significantly depending on factors including the timing of purchase orders, new product releases by us and other companies, gain or loss of significant customers, price discounting of our product, the timing of expenditures, product delivery requirements and economic conditions. Revenues related to our product are required to be recognized upon satisfaction of all applicable revenue recognition criteria. The recognition of revenues from our product is dependent on several factors, including, but not limited to, the terms of any license agreement and the timing of implementation of our products by our customers.
Any unfavorable change in these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on our operating results for a particular quarter or year, which may cause downward pressure on our Common stock price. We expect quarterly and annual fluctuations to continue for the foreseeable future.
9 |
We are subject to compliance with securities law, which exposes us to potential liabilities, including potential rescission rights.
We have offered and sold our common stock to investors pursuant to certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as well as those of various state securities laws. The basis for relying on such exemptions is factual; that is, the applicability of such exemptions depends upon our conduct and that of those persons contacting prospective investors and making the offering. We have not received a legal opinion to the effect that any of our prior offerings were exempt from registration under any federal or state law. Instead, we have relied upon the operative facts as the basis for such exemptions, including information provided by investors themselves.
If any prior offering did not qualify for such exemption, an investor would have the right to rescind its purchase of the securities if it so desired. It is possible that if an investor should seek rescission, such investor would succeed. A comparable situation prevails under state law in those states where the securities may be offered without registration in reliance on the partial pre-emption from the registration or qualification provisions of such state statutes. If investors were successful in seeking rescission, we would face severe financial demands that could adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, if we did not in fact qualify for the exemptions upon which it has relied, we may become subject to significant fines and penalties imposed by the SEC and state securities agencies.
The availability of a large number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock may, upon their issuance, lead to dilution of existing stockholders.
As of February 20, 2020, we are authorized to issue 20,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of March 31, 2022 there were 18,507,683,627 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Additional shares may be issued by our board of directors without further stockholder approval. The issuance of large numbers of shares, possibly at below market prices, is likely to result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders. In addition, issuances of large numbers of shares may adversely affect the market price of our Common stock.
We are authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 696,667 shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding. We are authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of Series C preferred stock, $.0001 par value per share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 920,000 shares of Series C preferred stock issued and outstanding. We are authorized to issue 200,000 shares of Series D preferred stock, $.0001 par value per share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 200,000 shares of Series D preferred stock issued and outstanding. We are authorized to issue 2,500,000 shares of Series E convertible preferred stock, $.0001 par value. As of December 31, 2021, there were 1,465,680 shares of Series E convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of unissued shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number of shares and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges thereof. Accordingly, the Board of Directors may issue preferred stock which may convert into large numbers of shares of common stock and consequently lead to further dilution of other shareholders.
We have never paid cash dividends and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common shares. We currently plan to retain any earnings to finance the growth of our business rather than to pay cash dividends. Payments of any cash dividends in the future will depend on our financial condition, results of operations and capital requirements, as well as other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
The Nevada Revised Statute contains provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, prevent attempts to replace or remove current management and reduce the market price of our stock.
Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that our stockholders may consider favorable. For example, our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue up to ten million shares of “blank check” preferred stock. As a result, without further stockholder approval, the board of directors has the authority to attach special rights, including voting and dividend rights, to this preferred stock. With these rights, preferred stockholders could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us.
10 |
We are also subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the NRS. Depending on the number of residents in the state of Nevada who own our shares, we could be subject to the provisions of Sections 78.378 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes which, unless otherwise provided in the Company’s articles of incorporation or by-laws, restricts the ability of an acquiring person to obtain a controlling interest of 20% or more of our voting shares. Our articles of incorporation and by-laws do not contain any provision which would currently keep the change of control restrictions of Section 78.378 from applying to us.
We are subject to the provisions of Sections 78.411 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes. In general, this statute prohibits a publicly held Nevada corporation from engaging in a “combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the combination or the transaction by which the person became an interested stockholder is approved by the corporation’s board of directors before the person becomes an interested stockholder. After the expiration of the three-year period, the corporation may engage in a combination with an interested stockholder under certain circumstances, including if the combination is approved by the board of directors and/or stockholders in a prescribed manner, or if specified requirements are met regarding consideration. The term “combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 10% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. A Nevada corporation may “opt out” from the application of Section 78.411 et seq. through a provision in its articles of incorporation or by-laws. We have not “opted out” from the application of this section.
Our stock price and ability to finance may be adversely affected by our outstanding convertible securities and warrants.
Sales of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants and upon conversion of our convertible securities, would likely have a depressive effect on the market price of our common stock. Further, the existence of, and/or potential exercise or conversion of all or a portion of these securities, create a negative and potentially depressive effect on our stock price because investors recognize that they overhang the market currently. As a result, the terms on which we may obtain additional financing during the period any of these warrants or convertible securities remain outstanding may be adversely affected by the existence of such warrants and convertible securities.
Our publicly filed reports are subject to review by the SEC, and any significant changes or amendments required as a result of any such review may result in material liability to us and may have a material adverse impact on the trading price of the Company’s common stock.
The reports of publicly traded companies are subject to review by the SEC from time to time for the purpose of assisting companies in complying with applicable disclosure requirements, and the SEC is required to undertake a comprehensive review of a company’s reports at least once every three years under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. SEC reviews may be initiated at any time. We could be required to modify, amend or reformulate information contained in prior filings as a result of an SEC review. Any modification, amendment or reformulation of information contained in such reports could be significant and result in material liability to us and have a material adverse impact on the trading price of the Company’s common stock.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
On March 1, 2016, our common stock became subject to quotation on the OTCQB Market under the symbol “EWLL”, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities not included on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Quotation of the Company’s securities on the OTCQB Market limits the liquidity and price of the Company’s common stock more than if the Company’s shares of common stock were listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange. For the periods indicated, the following table sets forth the high and low bid prices per share of common stock. The below prices represent inter-dealer quotations without retail markup, markdown, or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. On March 9, 2020, because of the bid price deficiency, the Company’s common stock was moved from the OTCQB market to the pink sheets. As of February 12, 2020, FINRA approved the 1:50 reverse split and the OTCQB Market symbol was changed to “EWLLD”.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and result of operations contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section of the other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we, nor any other person, assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We are under no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the filing of this Annual Report to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations relates to the operations and financial condition reported in the financial statements of eWellness Healthcare Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and related notes included in this report.
Overview
Results of Operations of eWellness for the Twelve-month Periods Ended December 31, 2021 vs. 2020
REVENUES: Total net revenues from operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were $0 and $255,346, respectively.
OPERATING EXPENSES: Total operating expenses increased to $2,671,027 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $2,647,662 for the year ended December 31, 2020 reflecting an increase of $23,365. The increase resulted from an increase in number of shares of preferred stock issued to consultants offset by a decrease in financing fees for conversion of convertible debt and decrease of executive compensation.
NET LOSS: The Company incurred a net loss of $451,707 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared with a net loss of $8,771,527 for the year ended December 31, 2020, which reflects a decrease of $8,319,820. The decrease is primarily because of a decrease of general and administrative expenses, executive compensation and financing fees offset by an increase in professional fees (outlined above) of $23,365, decrease in interest expense of $692,826 and increase in gain on derivative liability of $7,919,238.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2021, we had negative working capital of $4,360,124 compared to negative working capital of $6,660,570 as of December 31, 2020. The main portion of the negative working capital decrease is because of a decrease in accounts payable – related party and a decrease in derivative liability. Cash used in operations was $341,594 and $284,613 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This is primarily due to an increase in shares issued to officers, directors and consultants offset by a decrease in the net loss, decrease in amortization of debt discount and prepaids offset and an increase in gain on derivative liability. Cash flows provided by financing activities were $351,662 and $45,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The increase in cash flows from financing activities was from issuance of convertible preferred shares for cash. The cash balance as of December 31, 2021 was $11,177.
We do not have sufficient cash on hand to operate. Our ability to meet our obligations and continue to operate as a going concern is highly dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing. We cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt or be in another form. We may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, we may be unable to implement our current plans which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial conditions and results of operations.
Contingencies
The Company may be subject to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews or investigations associated with its business and other matters arising in the normal conduct of its business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
In March 2020, the Company executed a 12% Convertible Promissory Note payable to an institutional investor in the principal amount of $52,800. The note, which is due on January 15, 2021, has an original issue discount of $4,800 and transaction costs of $3,000. After 180 days, the convertible note converts into common stock of the Company at a conversion price that shall be equal to 70% of the average of the two lowest per share trading prices for the ten (10) trading days prior to the conversion date. As of December 31, 2020, this note was fully converted and during the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company accrued interest of $2,880.
From time to time the Company may become a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. On August 12, 2020, a former consultant filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California for Breach of Contract and non-payment of fees per said contract. At the time of the suit, the Company owed to the vendor for contractual fees the total of $24,339. On March 14, 2022, the Company accepted a Stipulation and Proposed Order for the payment of $38,000 to the former consultant with the first payment of $5,000 being due immediately and additional $5,000 payments to be paid every 60 days thereafter until the total of $38,000 is paid.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of eWellness Healthcare Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of eWellness Healthcare Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has yet to earn significant revenue, has a deficit in stockholders’ equity, and has sustained recurring losses from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuation of Derivative Liabilities
Description of the Matter:
As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company has issued convertible notes that require derivative accounting primarily due to the variable conversion features. Management evaluates convertible debentures and associated warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and uses the Black Scholes Model to value the derivatives. This model requires management to make assumptions, use judgment, and can be complex.
Auditing managements assessments and valuations can be complex, involves judgment, and requires a thorough understanding of the convertible note terms.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit:
We reviewed all contracts to obtain a thorough understanding of the terms. We tested the inputs and assumptions management used in the Black Scholes Model. We performed independent valuations of the derivatives to test management’s valuations. Lastly, we obtained confirmations directly from the note holders to test the note balances and note terms.

eWELLNESS HEALTHCARE CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. The Company
The Company, Background and Nature of Business
eWellness Healthcare Corporation (the “eWellness”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 7, 2011.
eWellness Healthcare Corporation is the first physical therapy telehealth company to offer real-time distance monitored assessments and treatments. On September 15, 2020, the Company and Bistromatics signed an agreement that transferred all worldwide marketing and Intellectual Property Rights or claims to the Company’s Phzio, Phzio TeleRehab and MSK 360 platforms to Bistromatics in return for a 15% ownership in Bistromatics. This agreement eliminated all past due professional fees of $748,832. The transfer of rights was completed on December 31, 2020.
During the last quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors and management determined that while it would continue its efforts and resources involving physical therapy and telemedicine, it would also pursue other health-related business opportunities. With the Company’s announced plan to diversify its health-related business beyond its telemedicine operations, which telemedicine operations will continue, the Company on May 18, 2021, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between the Company, EWLL Acquisition (a new wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) and a recently formed private Nevada company controlled by a third party, American Health Protection, Inc.(“AMHP”). pursuant to which AMHP merged with EWLL Acquisition, with AMHP being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On July 14, 2021, the Company filed the requisite Articles of Merger with the State of Nevada and, as a result, AMHP became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and EWLL Acquisition ceased to exist.
On April 19, 2021, the Company filed a DEF 14C to disclose to the stockholders the ratification and approval by Joint Written Consent, based upon the unanimous approval by our Board of Directors and the consent of the Majority Consenting Stockholders, of the corporate actions to file an amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to: (i) change the name of the Company from eWellness Healthcare Corporation to American Health Protection Corp. (“Name Change”); (ii) change the par value of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock from $implement the 1:2,000 reverse split of our Common Stock and the shares underlying conversion of the Company’s securities convertible into Common Stock together with the shares reserved for such conversions, on a one for two thousand (1:2,000) basis (“Reverse Split”). The Name Change, Par Value Change and Reverse Split are sometimes referred to as the “Corporate Actions”, which Corporate Actions must be approved by FINRA. The application for approval of these actions to FINRA has not yet been filed. per share to $ per share (“Par Value Change”); and (iii)
As stated in the DEF 14C, the Name Change from eWellness Healthcare Corporation to American Health Protection Corp. was to reflect the Company’s plan to diversify its business operations from the telemedicine business and the proprietary PHZIO System to include other health related services to its primary target market focused on small and mid-sized corporate clients. The Par Value Change of the Company’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock from $Common Stock on the OTC Markets had been less than the $0.001 par value of its Common Stock. As a result, the Company had not been able to raise capital by the issuance of shares of Common Stock at less than the $0.001 par value and, in addition, the Company could not raise capital through the issuance of shares of convertible Preferred Stock having a conversion price of less than the $0.001 par value of the Common Stock. Lastly, the rationale for the Reverse Split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a one for two thousand (1:2,000) basis was needed because the outstanding shares and shares reserved for convertible debt conversion resulted in no shares being available for capital raise purposes. per share to $ per share was the result that for more than the past six months (preceding the filing of the DEF 14C), the price of its

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these good faith estimates and judgments.
Going Concern
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had no revenues. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $40,069,797 and a working capital deficit of $4,360,124. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue operations is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations, of which there can be no guarantee. The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company complies with the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.
The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:
Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had the following assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Derivative Liability | $ | 1,447,008 | $ | $ | $ | 1,447,008 | ||||||||||

Total Liabilities measured at fair value | $ | 3,925,106 | $ | $ | $ | 3,925,106 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue per ASC 606. Revenue is recognized when services have been completed.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Minor additions and renewals are expensed in the year incurred. Major additions and renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:
Furniture and Fixtures | 5-7 Years | |
Computer Equipment | 5-7 Years | |
Software | 3 Years |
The Company regularly evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If factors indicate the asset may not be recoverable, we compare the related undiscounted future net cash flows to the carrying value of the asset to determine if impairment exists. If the expected future net cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized based on the fair value of the asset. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no impairment recognized.
Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for assets that are not physical in nature as intangible assets. Intangible assets have either an identifiable or indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reassessed each year for impairment. If an impairment has occurred, then a loss is recognized. An impairment loss is determined by subtracting the asset’s fair value from the asset’s book/carrying value. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no intangible assets.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10-30. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
F-10 |
Debt Issuance Costs
The Company accounts for debt issuance costs in accordance with ASU 2015-03. This guidance requires direct and incremental costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments such as legal fees, printing costs and underwriters’ fees, among others, paid to parties other than creditors, are reported and presented as a reduction of debt on the consolidated balance sheets.
Debt issuance costs and premiums or discounts are amortized over the term of the respective financing arrangement using the effective interest method. Amortization of these amounts is included as a component of interest expense net, in the consolidated statements of operations.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and then is revalued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the statement of operations. For stock based derivative financial instruments, Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any increase or decrease in the fair value from inception is made quarterly and appears in results of operations as a change in fair market value of derivative liabilities.”
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash deposits and highly liquid financial instruments with an original maturity to the Company of three months or less. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the loss per share. Basic loss per common share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation. As the Company has incurred losses for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, no dilutive shares are added into the loss per share calculations. While currently antidilutive, the following instruments could potentially dilute EPS in the future resulting in the following common stock equivalents:

Options | 27,000 | |||||||
Warrants | 26,015 | |||||||

12,357,170,485 | 27,728,259,955 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported results.
Note 3. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consist of computer equipment that is stated at cost $6,976 and $6,976 less accumulated depreciation of $4,589 and $3,188 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company disposed of computers with a cost value of $11,498 and transferred computers and equipment valued at $9,208 per the Bistromatics agreement dated September 15, 2020. (Footnote 1). Depreciation expense was $1,402 and $4,869 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Note 4. Intangible Assets
The Company recognizes the cost of a software license and a license for use of a programming code as intangible assets. The stated cost of these assets and accumulated amortization were transferred per the Bistromatics agreement dated September 15, 2020 (Footnote 1). For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the amortization expense recorded was $0 and $2,000, respectively.
F-11 |
Note 5. Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax liabilities consist of the following components as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
NOL carryover | $ | 4,027,300 | $ | 4,133,200 | ||||

Depreciation | 400 | 300 | ||||||
Valuation allowance | (4,069,700 | ) | (4,175,500 | ) | ||||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | $ |
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 due to the following:
2020 | 2019 | |||||||

$ | $ |
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $19,177,000 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2022 through 2041. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2020 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
The Company’s policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties, nor did we have any interest or penalties accrued related to unrecognized benefits.
The tax years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are open for examination for federal income tax purposes and by other major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.

There were no expenses due to the board members, but the Company has accrued directors’ fees of $221,107 and $221,107 as of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Two of the independent directors resigned on May 22, 2020 so no further directors’ fees were accrued for them. On February 26, 2021, the remaining independent director signed a Settlement and Compromise Agreement which eliminated all previously accrued directors’ fees as of September 30, 2020 for a flat fee of $100,000. Since the effective date of the agreement was October 1, 2020, the adjustment was recorded as of December 31, 2020. Because the Company is not yet profitable the officers had agreed to defer compensation. On February 26, 2021, the officers signed Settlement and Compromise Agreements which eliminated all previously accrued compensation accrued as of September 30, 2020 for $100,000 each. Since the effective date of these agreements is October 1, 2020, the adjustment was recorded as of December 31, 2020. The Company had accrued executive compensation of $200,000 and $200,000 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The deferred compensation value of the shares will vest monthly at 1/24th of the calculated value of $3,000,000 and requisite expense or reduction of accrued compensation and/or accrued directors fees will be recorded. At the recording of the requisite vested share value, the corresponding number of preferred shares will be recorded as being issued. On May 22, 2020, two independent directors resigned and three officers/directors/consultant resigned. Therefore, the vesting of their preferred shares ceased on those dates per the authorization documents. As part of the Settlement and Compromise agreements signed by current officers, director and consultant on February 26, 2021, with effective date October 1, 2020, the shares issued became fully vested at the year ended December 31, 2020. shares with a par value of $ per share.

Note 9. Commitments, Contingencies
The Company may be subject to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews or investigations associated with its business and other matters arising in the normal conduct of its business. On August 12, 2020, a former consultant filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California for Breach of Contract and non-payment of fees per said contract. At the time of the suit, the Company owed to the vendor for contractual fees the total of $24,339. On March 14, 2022, the Company accepted a Stipulation and Proposed Order for the payment of $38,000 to the former consultant with the first payment of $5,000 being due immediately and additional $5,000 payments to be paid every 60 days thereafter until the total of $38,000 is paid
Note 10. Revenue Recognition
Under ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the services have been completed. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized net revenue of $0 and $255,346, respectively.
Note 11. Derivative Valuation
The Company evaluated the convertible debentures and associated warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory notes was not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to their variable conversion rates. The notes have no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable, so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. In addition, the warrants have a Most Favoured Nations clause resulting in the exercise price of the warrants also not being fixed. Therefore, these have been characterized as derivative instruments. We elected to recognize the notes under ASU paragraph 815-15-25-4, whereby there would be a separation into a host contract and derivative instrument. We elected to initially and subsequently measure the notes and warrants in their entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
The debt discount is amortized over the life of the note and recognized as interest expense. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company amortized the debt discount of $0 and $619,799, respectively, to interest expense.

ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
During the past two years, there was no disagreement of the type described in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) or any reportable event as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K that is required to be disclosed under this Item 9.
ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We performed an evaluation (“Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation and the existence of the material weaknesses discussed below in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,” our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
● | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
● | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and |
● | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
16 |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021, due to the existence of the material weaknesses discussed below. A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 5), or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Management identified the following material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective:
● | Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system. Specifically, there is limited review of financial reporting and policies and procedures have not yet been implemented to analyze, document, monitor and report on non-routine and complex transactions that require management estimation or judgment. | |
● | The Company does not have adequate controls and procedures or an internal audit function to detect errors in accounting for certain of its financing transactions. | |
● | The lack of sufficient controls in place to ensure that all disclosures required were addressed in our financial statements, which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. | |
● | Management determined that the Company does not have a sufficient complement of personnel with appropriate training and experience in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and lacks certain subject matter expertise related to accounting for income taxes, complex debt and equity transactions, and disclosures. |
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting due to permanent exemptions for smaller reporting companies. Management’s report was not subject to such attestation pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses
While management believes that the Company’s financial statements previously filed in the Company’s SEC reports have been properly recorded and disclosed in accordance with GAAP, based on the control deficiencies identified above, we have begun taking steps and plan to take additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the material weakness, primarily through the development and implementation of formal policies, improved processes and documented procedures, as well as the hiring of additional finance personnel. Management believes that the appointment of additional management personnel will lead to increased oversight over the accounting and reporting function. As soon as we can raise sufficient capital or our operations generate sufficient cash flow, we will hire additional personnel to handle our accounting and reporting functions. We also plan to supply enhanced training and education on principles related to accounting for financing transactions, when funds allow.
Management has reviewed the financial statements and underlying information included herein in detail and believes the procedures performed are adequate to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in all material respects.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, none of the following events occurred during the past ten years that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any of our executive officers, directors or promoters:
(1) A petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;

(3) Subject of any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities:
(i) Acting as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction merchant, any other person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or an associated person of any of the foregoing, or as an investment adviser, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan association or insurance company, or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity;
(ii) Engaging in any type of business practice; or
(iii) Engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of Federal or State securities laws or Federal commodities laws;
19 |
(4) Subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any Federal or State authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described in paragraph (3)(i) above, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

Corporate Governance and Director Independence
Presently, we are not currently listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system and therefore are not required to comply with the director independence requirements of any securities exchange. In determining whether our directors are independent, however, we intend to comply with the rules of NASDAQ. The board of directors will also consult with counsel to ensure that the boards of director’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors, including those adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to the independence of audit committee members. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) defines an “independent director” generally as a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors has determined that Douglas Cole, Mr. Rowberry and Ms. Pleskow would qualify as “independent” as that term is defined by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). Further, Mr. Cole qualifies as “independent” under Nasdaq Listing Rules applicable to board committees.
Due to our lack of operations and size prior to the Share Exchange, we did not have an Audit Committee. For these same reasons, we did not have any other separate committees prior to the Share Exchange; all functions of a nominating committee, audit committee and compensation committee were performed by our sole director. Although, as stated above, we are not the subject of any listing requirements, in connection with the Share Exchange, our Board of Directors established several committees to assist it in carrying out its duties. In particular, committees shall work on key issues in greater detail than would be practical at a meeting of all the members of the Board of Directors; each committee reviews the results of its deliberations with the full Board of Directors.
The standing committees of the Board of Directors currently consist of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Current copies of the charters for the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, as well as our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, may be found on our website at www.ewellnesshealth.com, under the heading “Corporate Information—Governance Documents.” Printed versions also are available to any stockholder who requests them by writing to our corporate Secretary at our corporate address. Our Board of Directors may, from time to time, establish certain other committees to facilitate our management.
20 |
The Board will consider appointing members to each of the Committees when enough independent directors are appointed to the Board or as otherwise determined by the Board. Until such time, the full board of directors will undertake the duties of the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, requires that our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a class of our equity securities that are registered under the Exchange Act to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership of such registered securities.
Based solely upon a review of information furnished to the Company, to the Company’s knowledge, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, all such forms were filed.
ITEM 11: EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not pay any compensation to our executive officers, nor did any other person receive a total annual salary and bonus exceeding $150,000.
On February 12, 2021, each of the two officers signed a Settlement and Compromise Agreement within which they agreed to eliminate any previously accrued compensation as of September 30, 2020 for $100,000 each. Since the effective date of this agreement was October 1, 2020, this transaction was recorded at the year ended December 31, 2020. This Settlement and Compromise Agreement eliminated any previous compensation agreements established with the Share Purchase Agreement in 2014.
Director’s Compensation
There is no formal or informal arrangements or agreements to compensate employee directors for service provided as a director; however, compensation for new non-employee directors is determined on an ad hoc basis by the existing members of the board of directors at the time a director is elected. They are entitled to receive reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
On February 12, 2021, the independent director signed a Settlement and Compromise Agreement within which they agreed to eliminate any previously accrued directors’ fees for this director as of September 30, 2020 for $100,000. Since the effective date of this agreement was October 1, 2020, this transaction was recorded at the year ended December 31, 2020. This Settlement and Compromise Agreement eliminates the future need to accrue monthly directors’ fees.
Compensation Policies and Practices as They Relate to the Company’s Risk Management
We believe that our compensation policies and practices for all employees, including executive officers, do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
Employment Contracts
We do not have any formal employment agreement with any of the officers. Any future compensation will be determined by the Board of Directors, and, as appropriate, an employment agreement will be executed.
Outstanding Equity Awards
There were no equity awards outstanding as of the end the year ended December 31, 2021.
Option Grants
During the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no options granted.
21 |
Aggregated Option Exercises and Fiscal Year-End Option Value
There were no stock options exercised during the year ending December 31, 2021 and 2020 by our executive officers.
Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) Awards
There were no awards made to any named executive officers in the last completed fiscal year under any LTIP.
ITEM 12: SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2022 by (i) each person (or group of affiliated persons) who is known by us to own more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock, (ii) each director, executive officer and director nominee, and (iii) all of our directors, executive officers and director nominees as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of common stock that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of the respective table. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock held by each person or group of persons named above, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of the respective table is deemed to be outstanding for such person but is not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership.
Except as otherwise indicated, the persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock owned by them, except to the extent that power may be shared with a spouse.
As of March 31, 2022, we had 18,507,683,627 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Certain Related Party Transactions
Other than the relationships and transactions discussed below, we are not a party to, nor are we proposed to be a party, to any transaction during the last fiscal year involving an amount exceeding $120,000 and in which a related person, as such term is defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Indebtedness of Management
No officer, director or security holder known to us beneficially owns more than 5% of our Common stock or any member of the immediate family or sharing the household (other than a tenant or employee) of any of the foregoing persons is indebted to us in the years 2021 and 2020.
Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Our Board of Directors conducts an appropriate review of and oversees all related-party transactions. We have not yet adopted formal standards in respect of the review and approval or ratification of related-party transactions; however, our board has conformed to the following standards: (i) all related-party transactions must be fair and reasonable to us and on terms comparable to those reasonably expected to be agreed to with independent third parties for the same goods and/or services at the time authorized by the board; and (ii) all related-party transactions must be authorized, approved or ratified by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors who have no interest, either directly or indirectly, in any such related party transaction.
ITEM 14: PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
