Item 1.Business

 

Historical Background

 

We were incorporated in the State of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply of New Jersey Corporation, and subsequently changed our name to Gotham Capital Holdings, Inc. on May 18, 2015. We commenced operations in the beauty supply industry as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of our wholesale and retail beauty supply business. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, we had no operations and were a shell company.

 

On March 16, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions, which were approved by shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares, to change our name to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.”, to authorize a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada, to authorize a 2017 Stock Awards Plan, and to approve the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “OXYS SEA”) between the Company and OXYS Corporation (“OXYS”), a Nevada corporation incorporated on August 4, 2016.

 

Under the terms of the OXYS SEA we acquired 100% of the issued voting shares of OXYS in exchange for 34,687,244 shares of our Common Stock. We also cancelled 1,500,000 outstanding shares of our Common Stock and changed our management to Mr. DiBiase who also served in management of OXYS. Also, one of our principal shareholders entered into a consulting agreement with OXYS to provide consulting services during the transition. The OXYS SEA was effective on July 28, 2017, and our name was changed to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” at that time. Effective October 26, 2017, our domicile was changed from New Jersey to Nevada.

 

On December 14, 2017, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “HereLab SEA”) with HereLab, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HereLab”), and HereLab’s two shareholders pursuant to which we would acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of HereLab in exchange for the issuance of 1,650,000 shares of our Common Stock, on a pro rata basis, to HereLab’s two shareholders. The closing of the transaction occurred on January 11, 2018 and HereLab became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

  

At the present time, we have two, wholly-owned subsidiaries which are OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc., through which our operations are conducted.

 

General Overview

 

IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and OXYS, were originally established for the purposes of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing systems for the Industrial Internet. Both companies were, and presently are, early stage technology startups that are largely pre-revenue in their development phase. HereLab is also an early-stage technology development company. The Company received its first revenues in the last quarter of 2017, has continued to realize revenues in 2021, and expects to realize revenue growth in 2022 due to its business development pipeline.

 

We develop hardware, software and algorithms that monitor, measure and predict conditions for energy, structural, agricultural and medical applications. We use domain-specific Artificial Intelligence to solve industrial and environmental challenges. Our engineered solutions focus on common sense approaches to machine learning, algorithm development and hardware and software products. We design a system of hardware and software, assemble, install, monitor data and apply our algorithms to help provide the customer insights.

 

We use off the shelf components, with reconfigurable hardware architecture that adapts to a wide range of customer needs and applications. We use open-source software tools, while still creating proprietary content for customers, thereby reducing software development time and cost. The software works with the hardware to collect data from the equipment or structure that is being monitored.

 

 

 

 1 

 

  

We focus on developing insights. We develop algorithms that help our customers create insights from vast data streams.  The data collected is analyzed and reports are created for the customer. From these insights, the customer can act to improve their process, product or structure.

 

OUR SOLUTIONS ACHIEVE TWO OBJECTIVES

 

ADD VALUE

 

  · We show clear path to improved asset reliability, machine uptime, machine utilization, energy consumption, and quality.

 

  · We provide advanced algorithms and insights as a service.

  

RISK MINIMIZATION

 

  · We use simple measurements which are minimally invasive.

 

  · We do not interfere with command and control of critical equipment.

 

  · We do not interfere with machine control networks.

 

HOW WE DO IT

 

Our location in Cambridge, Massachusetts is ideal since market-leading Biotech, Medtech, and Pharma multinational firms have offices or R&D centers in Cambridge or the Greater Boston area, which gives us easier access to potential sales which, in turn, lowers our cost of sales. Additionally, we continue to add value to structural health monitoring and smart manufacturing customers as well. We, therefore, have a range of opportunities as we continue to expand our customer base.

 

Our goal is to help Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device companies realize the next wave of performance, productivity, and quality gains for their organizations, and become Industry 4.0 compliant.

 

We have a unique value proposition in a fast-growing worldwide multi-billion USD market, and have positioned our business with strategic partners for accelerated growth. We are therefore well-poised for growth in 2022 and beyond, as we execute our plans and acquire additional customers.

 

WHAT MARKETS WE SERVE

 

SMART MANUFACTURING

 

We help our customers maintain machine uptime and maximize operational efficiency. We also enable then to do energy monitoring, predictive maintenance that anticipates problems before they happen, and improve part and process quality.

 

BIOTECH, PHARMACEUTICAL, AND MEDICAL DEVICES

 

We are on the operations side, not the patient-facing side. In this market vertical, our customers must provide high-quality products that must also pass rigorous review by governing bodies such as the FDA. Here again, we focus on machine uptime, operational efficiency, and predictive maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime.

SMART INFRASTRUCTURE

 

For bridges and other civil infrastructure, local, state and federal agencies have limited resources. We help our clients prioritize how to spend limited funds by addressing those fixes which need to be made first.

 

OUR UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION

 

EDGE COMPUTING AS A COMPLIMENT TO CLOUD COMPUTING

 

Within the Internet of Things (“IoT”) and Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”), most companies right now are adopting an approach which sends all sensor data to the cloud for processing. We specialize in edge computing, where the data processing is done locally right where the data is collected. We also have advanced cloud-based algorithms that implement various machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms.

  

ADVANCED ALGORITHMS

 

We have sought to differentiate from our competitors by developing advanced algorithms on our own and in collaboration with strategic partners These algorithms are an essential part of the edge computing strategy that convert raw data into actionable knowledge right where the data is collected without having to send the data to the cloud first.

 

RECONFIGURABLE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

 

Instead of focusing on creating tools, we use open-source tools to create proprietary content.

 

Marketing

 

Our marketing and sales efforts are divided into several distinct categories:

 

  1) We work with partners to leverage their sales and marketing channels.
  2) Direct business development and discussions with end use customers by company management; and
  3) Trade shows and international technical, sales and marketing meetings.

  

Competition

 

We have two principal sources of competition. The first comes from large companies such as Siemens, PTC, IBM, GE, Amazon, Google, etc., who all have their efforts in IIoT. However, these large companies are cloud – computing centric and they are trying to move towards edge devices from their present position of being solely cloud computing based. We will be starting in edge computing from day one as opposed to force-fitting a cloud-based solution into the limited computational capability and storage space of an edge device. We believe our systems will be more computationally efficient as compared to a cloud-based solution which requires more computational resources.

 

The second source of competition is from startups who are in the edge computing space. Examples are FogHorn Systems Inc., Tulip Interfaces, and MachineSense. There will be additional startups that will specifically target the edge computing space as the investor awareness and the technical focus shifts from cloud computing to edge computing. Whereas other startups focus on development of proprietary tools for edge computing, our solutions will use open source tools but will still create proprietary algorithms and software content for clients and customers. We feel this methodology of creating proprietary solutions using open source tools will allow us to rapidly address current and future customer needs.

Government Regulation

 

At present, we do not require any governmental approvals of any of our products or services.

 

Environmental Laws

 

At present, we are not regulated by any environmental laws.

  

Research and Development

 

We work with our partners and universities to develop IP; we will further develop this IP in house into products and services.

 

Other than expenses for legal, accounting, audit, tax preparation, intellectual property (IP), and other overhead expenses such rent, most of our funds are spent on technology development, product development, and research and development. We are an emerging growth, early-stage, technology company and, as such, most of our expenditures are aimed at innovation and product development.

 

The efforts in research and development have already resulted in significant customer interest in various market verticals including industrial, automotive, aerospace, agricultural, infrastructure, and power generation.

 

Intellectual Property

 

On February 5, 2018, we entered into a Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement with MIT. The agreement, which was effective February 1, 2018, granted to us a royalty-bearing non-exclusive license under U.S. Patent Nos. 8344724 (“Non-Intrusive Monitoring of Power and Other Parameters” issued January 1, 2013), 14/263407 (“Non-Intrusive Monitoring” filed April 28, 2014), and Patent Cooperation Treaty Serial No. PCT/US2016/057165 (“Noncontact Power Sensing” filed October 14, 2016) during the term of the agreement. The term of the agreement was from the effective date until the expiration or abandonment of all issued patents and filed patent applications licensed pursuant to the agreement, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the agreement.

 

Under the agreement, we were required to make a first commercial sale of a “LICENSED PRODUCT” and/or a first commercial performance of a “LICENSED PROCESS,” as defined in the agreement, on or before September 30, 2018. We had negotiated revenue targets with MIT which would determine annual royalty payments. The 2018 minimum revenue target for the sale of products and services incorporating the MIT technology was $100,000. This minimum revenue amount would increase in subsequent years.

  

Within 30 days of invoicing, a non-refundable license issue fee of $10,000 was paid by us to MIT. Pursuant to the agreement, we were required to pay to MIT additional patent maintenance fees in years beyond 2018.

 

Pursuant to the agreement, we were required to pay to MIT a running royalty of 2% of “NET SALES,” as defined in the agreement made in the calendar years 2018, 2019, and 2020. For “NET SALES” made in the calendar year 2021 and every calendar year thereafter through the term of the agreement, we were required to pay to MIT a running royalty of 4%.

 

On October 31, 2018, we sent written notice of our intent to terminate the agreement with an effective date of termination of April 30, 2019. Since none of the technology licensed to us by MIT had been used by us in any of our products and we had been investing in the development of our own intellectual property, we determined the technology that was licensed from MIT wasn’t necessary in the near term. Due to this, the written notice sent by us expressed a desire by our management to renegotiate the terms of the agreement with MIT.

 

MIT declined to renegotiate the terms of the agreement and, on December 6, 2018, we received a notice of termination from MIT due to non-payment of fees. As of December 6, 2018, the agreement was terminated, fees are no longer accruing, interest is accruing and $76,283.88 in fees owed to MIT are still owing as of the date of this Annual Report. Despite the termination of the Agreement, we remain active with MIT as a member of the MIT Startup Exchange (STEX). The purpose of STEX is to promote collaboration and partnerships between MIT-connected startups and members of MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program. We remain open to future mutually acceptable agreements with MIT.

We continue to develop our proprietary algorithms and plan to protect them through a combination of trade secret, copyright, and patents.

 

Customers

 

Due to our status of a start-up, at the moment, we depend on a few major customers. This should change as we implement plans for future growth.

 

Employees

 

As of April 8, 2022, we have two employees, each on W2’s, not including the CEO and COO. Although the consulting agreements of our CEO and COO terminated in 2021, we expect to have new agreements in place during the second quarter of 2022. Besides our CEO and COO, one employee is full time and the remaining is part time.

 

At the present time, except for the funding received from Cambridge MedSpace LLC and Vidhyadhar Mitta in the form of secured notes, there are no conflicts of interest between the Company and any of our officers and directors. This was determined as follows: i) none of their outside activities are soliciting business from our customers or business contacts; ii) they are not soliciting our investors to invest in other ventures; and iii) they are not soliciting our contract employees to leave us and join other efforts. At present, all our business services are provided by outside contractors.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

 

Item 1A.Risk Factors

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in the markets in which we operate or that otherwise impacts our facilities or suppliers could adversely impact our business.

 

If a pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, or other public health crisis were to affect our markets or facilities, our business could be adversely affected. Consequences of the coronavirus outbreak are resulting in disruptions in or restrictions on our ability to travel. If such an infectious disease broke out at our office, facilities or work sites, our operations may be affected significantly, our productivity may be affected, our ability to complete projects in accordance with our contractual obligations may be affected, and we may incur increased labor and materials costs. If the customers with which we contract are affected by an outbreak of infectious disease, service work may be delayed or cancelled, and we may incur increased labor and materials costs. If our subcontractors with whom we work were affected by an outbreak of infectious disease, our labor supply may be affected and we may incur increased labor costs. In addition, we may experience difficulties with certain suppliers or with vendors in their supply chains, and our business could be affected if we become unable to procure essential equipment, supplies or services in adequate quantities and at acceptable prices. Further, infectious outbreak may cause disruption to the U.S. economy, or the local economies of the markets in which we operate, cause shortages of materials, increase costs associated with obtaining materials, affect job growth and consumer confidence, or cause economic changes that we cannot anticipate. Overall, the potential impact of a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease with respect to our market or our facilities is difficult to predict and could adversely impact our business. In response to the COVID-19 situation, federal, state and local governments (or other governments or bodies) are considering placing, or have placed, restrictions on travel and conducting or operating business activities. At this time those restrictions are very fluid and evolving. We have been and will continue to be impacted by those restrictions. Given that the type, degree and length of such restrictions are not known at this time, we cannot predict the overall impact of such restrictions on us, our customers, our subcontractors and supply chain, others that we work with or the overall economic environment. As such, the impact these restrictions may have on our financial position, operating results and liquidity cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but the impact may be material. In addition, due to the speed with which the COVID-19 situation is developing and evolving, there is uncertainty around its ultimate impact on public health, business operations and the overall economy; therefore, the negative impact on our financial position, operating results and liquidity cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but the impact may be material.

 

 

 

 5 

 

 

Escalating global tensions, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, could negatively impact us.

 

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries that could negatively impact our operations. The U.S. government and other governments in jurisdictions in which we operate have imposed severe sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russian interests and threatened additional sanctions and controls. The impact of these measures, as well as potential responses to them by Russia, is currently unknown and they could adversely affect our business, partners or customers.

 

Because of our continued losses, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

 

Our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our significant cumulative losses from operations as of December 31, 2021, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If the going-concern assumption were not appropriate for our financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used. Since December 31, 2021, we have continued to experience losses from operations. We have continued to fund operations primarily through the sales of equity securities. Nevertheless, we will require additional funding to complete much of our planned operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit (i.e. through partnerships such as our current partnership with Aingura) and/or obtain necessary additional funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities. Except for potential proceeds from the sale of equity in offerings by us and minimal revenues, we have no other source for additional funding. Our continued net operating losses and stockholders’ deficiency increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

 

We have debt which is secured by all our assets. If there is an occurrence of an uncured event of default, the lenders can foreclose on all our assets, which would make any stock in the Company worthless.

 

We have entered into several secured loan transactions with investors (as disclosed herein), pursuant to which the outstanding debt was secured by all our assets. In the event we are unable to make payments, when due, on our secured debt, the lenders may foreclose on all our assets. In the event the lenders foreclose on our assets, any stock in the Company would have no value. Our ability to make payments on secured debt, when due, will depend upon our ability to make profit from operations and to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings. At the moment, we have no funding commitments that have not been previously disclosed, and we may not obtain any in the future.

 

Our future success is dependent upon the success of partnerships with other similarly-situated entities.

 

Effective March 18, 2020, we entered into the Collaboration Agreement with Aingura IIoT, S.L. (“Aingura”) pursuant to which Aingura appointed and authorized us to act as the sales network of Aingura’s services and products. Aingura delivers engineered, high-tech solutions by implementing Smart Factory Operational Architectures. The agreement has an initial term of one year from the execution date. Unless terminated prior, the agreement automatically renews for successive annual periods, unless either party notifies the other in writing of its express intention not to renew the agreement at least two months prior to the date of termination of the agreement. There are restrictive provisions in the agreement that may prevent us from pursuing other business opportunities during the term of the agreement. In addition, if we are unable to make sales under the agreement, we will not collect any sales commissions and our business could fail.

 

Most of our sales have historically come from a small number of customers and a reduction in demand or loss of one or more of our significant customers would adversely affect our business.

 

Historically, we have been dependent on a small number of direct customers for most of our business, revenue and results of operations. In the past, we had contracts with customers in the civil infrastructure sector, and the pharmaceutical sector. Our prior customers constituted a state government and a large pharmaceutical company. Historically, those customers generated all our revenue. We expect to continue to experience significant customer concentration in future periods.

This customer concentration increases the risk of quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and sensitivity to any material, adverse developments experienced by our significant customers. In the past, although our relationships with our major customers was good, we generally did not have long-term contracts with any of them, which is typical of our industry. In the future, the loss of, or any substantial reduction in sales to, any of our major direct or end customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

  

Our operating subsidiaries have limited operating history and have generated very limited revenues thus far.

 

The limited operating history of OXYS and HereLab in the IIoT field, makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult. OXYS was incorporated on August 4, 2016 and HereLab was incorporated on February 27, 2017. We have not yet generated substantial income from OXYS or HereLab’s operations and we only anticipate doing so if we are able to successfully implement our business plan. To date, we have generated approximately $459,645 in sales from business operations, none of which was generated from HereLab in 2019 through 2021, as we focused solely on OXYS from 2019 through 2021 and plan on continuing to do so in 2022. We intend in the longer term to derive further revenues from partnerships, consulting services, product sales, and software licensing. Development of our services, products, and software will require significant investment prior to commercial introduction, and we may never be able to successfully develop or commercialize the services, products, or software in a material way.

 

We will require additional funding to develop and commercialize our services, products, and software. If we are unable to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to modify our current business plan or to curtail or cease our planned operations.

 

We anticipate incurring significant operating losses and using significant funds for product development and operating activities. Our existing cash resources are insufficient to finance even our immediate operations. Accordingly, we will need to secure additional sources of capital to develop our business and product candidates, as planned. We intend to seek substantial additional financing through public and/or private financing, which may include equity and/or debt financings, and through other arrangements, including collaborative arrangements. As part of such efforts, we may seek loans from certain of our executive officers, directors and/or current shareholders.

 

If we are unable to secure additional financing in the near term, we may be forced to:

 

  · curtail or abandon our existing business plans;

 

  · default on any debt obligations;

 

  · file for bankruptcy;

 

  · seek to sell some or all our assets; and/or

 

  · cease our operations.

 

If we are forced to take any of these steps our Common Stock may be worthless.

 

Any future financing may result in ownership dilution to our existing shareholders and may grant rights to investors more favorable than the rights currently held by our existing shareholders.

 

If we raise additional capital by issuing equity, equity-related or convertible securities, the economic, voting and other rights of our existing shareholders may be diluted, and those newly-issued securities may be issued at prices that are at a significant discount to current and/or then prevailing market prices. In addition, any such newly issued securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock. If we obtain additional capital through collaborative arrangements, we may be required to relinquish greater rights to our technologies or product candidates than we might otherwise have or become subject to restrictive covenants that may affect our business.

Uncertain global economic conditions could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Our operations and performance are sensitive to fluctuations in general economic conditions, both in the U.S. and globally. The ongoing uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, volatile currency markets, the anticipated weakness in all sectors, alone or in combination, may continue to have a material adverse effect on our net sales and the financial results of our operations. In addition, we remain concerned about the geopolitical and fiscal instability in the Middle East and some emerging markets as well as the continued volatility of the equity markets. The upcoming U.S. election may also create additional domestic and global economic uncertainty. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the spending patterns of businesses including our current and potential customers which could have a material adverse effect on our net sales and our results of operations. Other factors that could adversely influence demand for our products include unemployment, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer and business confidence, and other macroeconomic factors that could have a negative impact on capital investment and spending behavior.

 

We are subject to various risks associated with international operations and foreign economies.

 

Our international sales are subject to inherent risks, including:

 

  · global pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

 

  · the impact of conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on our operations;

 

  · geo-political events, such as the crisis in Ukraine, government responses to such events and the related impact on the economy both nationally and internationally;

 

  · fluctuations in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar;

 

  · unexpected changes to currency policy or currency restrictions in foreign jurisdictions;

 

  · delays in collecting trade receivable balances from customers in developing economies;

 

  · unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

 

  · difficulties and the high tax costs associated with the repatriation of earnings;

 

  · fluctuations in local economies;

 

  · disparate and changing employment laws in foreign jurisdictions;

 

  · difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

 

  · costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries;

 

  · unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

 

  · government actions throughout the world;

 

  · tariffs and other trade barriers; and

 

  · the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws.

 

 

 

 8 

 

 

Moreover, there can be no assurance that our international sales will continue at existing levels or grow in accordance with our efforts to increase foreign market penetration.

 

In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it is common to engage in business practices that are prohibited by U.S. regulations applicable to us such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Although we have policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors and agents, including those based in or from countries where practices which violate such U.S. laws may be customary, will not take actions in violation of our policies. Any violation of foreign or U.S. laws by our employees, contractors or agents, even if such violation is prohibited by our policies, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We must also comply with various import and export regulations. The application of these various regulations depends on the classification of our products which can change over time as such regulations are modified or interpreted. As a result, even if we are currently in compliance with applicable regulations, there can be no assurance that we will not have to incur additional costs or take additional compliance actions in the future. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines or termination of import and export privileges, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Additionally, the regulatory environment in some countries is very restrictive as their governments try to protect their local economy and value of their local currency against the U.S. dollar.

 

Any future product revenues are dependent on certain industries, and contractions in these industries could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Sales of our products are dependent on customers in certain industries. As we have experienced in the past, and as we may continue to experience in the future, downturns characterized by diminished product demand in any one or more of these industries may result in decreased sales and a material adverse effect on our operating results. We cannot predict when and to what degree contractions in these industries may occur; however, any sharp or prolonged contraction in one or more of these industries could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

   

We intend to make significant investments in new products that may not be successful or achieve expected returns.

 

We plan to continue to make significant investments in research, development, and marketing for new and existing products and technologies. These investments involve a number of risks as the commercial success of such efforts depend on many factors, including our ability to anticipate and respond to innovation, achieve the desired technological fit, and be effective with our marketing and distribution efforts. If our existing or potential customers do not perceive our latest product offerings as providing significant new functionality or value, or if we are late to market with a new product or technology, we may not achieve our expected return on our investments or be able recover the costs expended to develop new product offerings, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Even if our new products are profitable, our operating margins for new products may not be as high as the margins we have experienced historically.

 

Our success depends on new product introductions and market acceptance of our products.

 

The market for our products is characterized by technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in customer needs and frequent new product introductions, and is therefore highly dependent upon timely product innovation. Our success is dependent on our ability to successfully develop and introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis to replace declining revenues from older products, and on increasing penetration in domestic and international markets. Any significant delay in releasing new products could have a material adverse effect on the ultimate success of a product and other related products and could impede continued sales of predecessor products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. There can be no assurance that we will be able to introduce new products, that our new products will achieve market acceptance or that any such acceptance will be sustained for any significant period. Failure of our new products to achieve or sustain market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

 

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.

 

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. These accounting principles are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission. A change in these policies or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, may retroactively affect previously reported results, could cause unexpected financial reporting fluctuations, and may require us to make costly changes to our operational processes and accounting systems.

We operate in intensely competitive markets.

 

The markets in which we operate are characterized by intense competition from numerous competitors, some of which are divisions of large corporations having far greater resources than we have, and we may face further competition from new market entrants in the future. Some examples of large and small competitors include, but are not limited to:

 

  · General Electric with its GE Predix product for IoT;

 

  · IBM with its IBM BlueMix and IBM IoT Watson products;

 

  · Siemens with its MindSphere IoT product;

 

  · Microsoft with its Microsoft Azure IoT Suite;

 

  · FogHorn Systems;

 

  · Tulip.io; and

 

  · MachineSense.

  

Our financial results are subject to fluctuations due to various factors that may adversely affect our business and result of operations.

 

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to several factors, including:

 

  · global pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

 

  · the impact of conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on our operations;

 

  · geo-political events, such as the crisis in Ukraine, government responses to such events and the related impact on the economy both nationally and internationally;

 

  · fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

 

  · changes in global economic conditions;

 

  · changes in the mix of products sold;

 

  · the availability and pricing of components from third parties (especially limited sources);

 

  · the difficulty in maintaining margins, including the higher margins traditionally achieved in international sales;

 

  · changes in pricing policies by us, our competitors or suppliers;

 

  · the timing, cost or outcome of any future intellectual property litigation or commercial disputes;

 

  · delays in product shipments caused by human error or other factors; or

 

  · disruptions in transportation channels.

Any future acquisitions made by us will be subject to several related costs and challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

We plan to make more acquisitions in the future. Achieving the anticipated benefits of an acquisition depends upon whether the integration of the acquired business, products or technology is accomplished efficiently and effectively. In addition, successful acquisitions generally require, among other things, integration of product offerings, manufacturing operations and coordination of sales and marketing and R&D efforts. These difficulties can become more challenging due to the need to coordinate geographically separated organizations, the complexities of the technologies being integrated, and the necessities of integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. The integration of operations following an acquisition also requires the dedication of management resources, which may distract attention from our day-to-day business and may disrupt key R&D, marketing or sales efforts. Our inability to successfully integrate any of our acquisitions could harm our business. The existing products previously sold by entities we have acquired may be of a lesser quality than our products or could contain errors that produce incorrect results on which users rely or cause failure or interruption of systems or processes that could subject us to liability claims that could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or financial position. Furthermore, products acquired in connection with acquisitions may not gain acceptance in our markets, and we may not achieve the anticipated or desired benefits of such transactions.

 

We may experience component shortages that may adversely affect our business and result of operations.

 

We have experienced difficulty in securing certain types of high-power connectors for one of our projects and anticipate that supply shortages of components used in our products, including limited source components, can result in significant additional costs and inefficiencies in manufacturing. If we are unsuccessful in resolving any such component shortages in a timely manner, we will experience a significant impact on the timing of revenue, a possible loss of revenue, or an increase in manufacturing costs, any of which would have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

 

We rely on management information systems. interruptions in our information technology systems or cyber-attacks on our systems could adversely affect our business.

 

We rely on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of complex information technology systems and networks to operate our business. We rely on a primary global center for our management information systems and on multiple systems in branches not covered by our global center. As with any information system, unforeseen issues may arise that could affect our ability to receive adequate, accurate and timely financial information, which in turn could inhibit effective and timely decisions. Furthermore, it is possible that our global center for information systems or our branch operations could experience a complete or partial shutdown. A significant system or network disruption could be the result of new system implementations, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, security breaches, facility issues or energy blackouts. Threats to our information technology security can take a variety of forms and individuals or groups of hackers or sophisticated organizations including state-sponsored organizations, may take steps that pose threats to our customers and our infrastructure. If we were to experience a shutdown, disruption or attack, it would adversely impact our product shipments and net sales, as order processing and product distribution are heavily dependent on our management information systems. Such an interruption could also result in a loss of our intellectual property or the release of sensitive competitive information or partner, customer or employee personal data. Any loss of such information could harm our competitive position, result in a loss of customer confidence, and cause us to incur significant costs to remedy the damages caused by the disruptions or security breaches. In addition, changing laws and regulations governing our responsibility to safeguard private data could result in a significant increase in operating or capital expenditures needed to comply with these new laws or regulations. Accordingly, our operating results in such periods would be adversely impacted.

  

We are continually working to maintain reliable systems to control costs and improve our ability to deliver our products in our markets worldwide. Our efforts include, but are not limited to the following: firewalls, antivirus protection, patches, log monitors, routine backups with offsite retention of storage media, system audits, data partitioning and routine password modifications. Our internal information technology systems environment continues to evolve, and our business policies and internal security controls may not keep pace as new threats emerge. No assurance can be given that our efforts to continue to enhance our systems will be successful.

We are subject to risks associated with our website.

 

We devote resources to maintaining our website, www.oxyscorp.com, as a key marketing, sales and support tool and expect to continue to do so in the future. Failure to properly maintain our website may interrupt normal operations, including our ability to run and market our business which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We host our website internally. Any failure to successfully maintain our website or any significant downtime or outages affecting our website could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

 

Our products are complex and may contain bugs or errors.

 

As has occurred in the past and as may be expected to occur in the future, our new software products or new operating systems of third parties on which our products are based often contain bugs or errors that can result in reduced sales or cause our support costs to increase, either of which could have a material adverse impact on our operating results. 

 

Compliance with sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is costly and challenging.

 

As required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our periodic reports contain our management’s certification of adequate disclosure controls and procedures, a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting including an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and an attestation and report by our external auditors with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404. While these assessments and reports have not revealed any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, compliance with Sections 302 and 404 is required for each future fiscal year end. We expect that the ongoing compliance with Sections 302 and 404 will continue to be both very costly and very challenging and there can be no assurance that material weaknesses will not be identified in future periods. Any adverse results from such ongoing compliance efforts could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on our stock price.

 

Our business depends on our proprietary rights and we have been subject to intellectual property litigation.

 

Our success depends on our ability to obtain and maintain patents and other proprietary rights relative to the technologies used in our principal products. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may have in the past infringed or violated certain of our intellectual property rights. We from time to time may engage in litigation to protect our intellectual property rights. In monitoring and policing our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources. We from time to time may be notified that we are infringing certain patent or intellectual property rights of others. There can be no assurance that any future intellectual property dispute or litigation will not result in significant expense, liability, injunction against the sale of some of our products, and a diversion of management’s attention, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

 

We are subject to the risk of product liability claims.

 

Our products are designed to provide information upon which users may rely. Our products are also used in “real time” applications requiring extremely rapid and continuous processing and constant feedback. Such applications give rise to the risk that a failure or interruption of the system or application could result in economic damage, bodily harm or property damage. We attempt to assure the quality and accuracy of the processes contained in our products, and to limit our product liability exposure through contractual limitations on liability, limited warranties, express disclaimers and warnings as well as disclaimers contained in our “shrink wrap” and electronically displayed license agreements with end-users. If our products contain errors that produce incorrect results on which users rely or cause failure or interruption of systems or processes, customer acceptance of our products could be adversely affected. Further, we could be subject to liability claims that could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or financial position. Although we maintain liability insurance for product liability matters, there can be no assurance that such insurance or the contractual limitations used by us to limit our liability will be sufficient to cover or limit any claims which may occur.

 

 

 

 12 

 

  

Each of our current product candidates and services is in an early stage of development and we may never succeed in developing and/or commercializing them. If we are unable to commercialize our services, products, or software, or if we experience significant delays in doing so, our business may fail.

 

We intend to invest a significant portion of our efforts and financial resources in our software and we will depend heavily on its success. This software is currently in the beta stage of development. We need to devote significant additional research and development, financial resources and personnel to develop additional commercially viable products, establish intellectual property rights, if necessary, and establish a sales and marketing infrastructure. We are likely to encounter hurdles and unexpected issues as we proceed in the development of our software and our other product candidates. There are many reasons that we may not succeed in our efforts to develop our product candidates, including the possibility that our product candidates will be deemed undesirable; our product candidates will be too expensive to develop or market or will not achieve broad market acceptance; others will hold proprietary rights that will prevent us from marketing our product candidates; or our competitors will market products that are perceived as equivalent or superior.

 

We depend on third parties to assist us in the development of our software and other product candidates, and any failure of those parties to fulfill their obligations could result in costs and delays and prevent us from successfully commercializing our software and product candidates on a timely basis, if at all.

 

We may engage consultants and other third parties to help our software and product candidates. We may face delays in our commercialization efforts if these parties do not perform their obligations in a timely or competent fashion or if we are forced to change service providers. Any third parties that we hire may also provide services to our competitors, which could compromise the performance of their obligations to us. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their duties or meet expected deadlines, the commercialization of our software and product candidates may be extended, delayed or terminated or may otherwise prove to be unsuccessful. Any delays or failures as a result of the failure to perform by third parties would cause our development costs to increase, and we may not be able to commercialize our product candidates. In addition, we may not be able to establish or maintain relationships with these third parties on favorable terms, if at all. If we need to enter into replacement arrangements because a third party is not performing in accordance with our expectations, we may not be able to do so without undue delays or considerable expenditures or at all.

 

The loss of or inability to retain key personnel could materially adversely affect our operations.

 

Our management includes a select group of experienced technology professionals, particularly Clifford Emmons and Karen McNemar, who will be instrumental in the development of our software and product candidates. The success of our operations will, in part, depend on the successful continued involvement of these individuals. If these individuals leave the employment of or engagement with us, OXYS, or HereLab, then our ability to operate will be negatively impacted. Although we have consulting agreements with these individuals, we do not have any employment agreements with these parties and do not maintain any “key-man” insurance for them.

 

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

 

Patents acquired by us may not be valid or enforceable and may be challenged by third parties.

 

We do not intend to seek a legal opinion or other independent verification that any patents issued or licensed to us would be held valid by a court or administrative body or that we would be able to successfully enforce our patents against infringers, including our competitors. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or enforceability, and the validity and enforceability of a patent is susceptible to challenge on numerous legal grounds. Challenges raised in patent infringement litigation brought by or against us may result in determinations that patents that have been issued or licensed to us or any patents that may be issued to us or our licensors in the future are invalid, unenforceable or otherwise subject to limitations. In the event of any such determinations, third parties may be able to use the discoveries or technologies claimed in these patents without paying licensing fees or royalties to us, which could significantly diminish the value of our intellectual property and our competitive advantage. Even if our patents are held to be enforceable, others may be able to design around our patents or develop products similar to our products that are not within the scope of any of our patents.

 

 

 

 13 

 

 

In addition, enforcing any patents that may be issued to us in the future against third parties may require significant expenditures regardless of the outcome of such efforts. Our inability to enforce our patents against infringers and competitors may impair our ability to be competitive and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

  

If we are not able to protect and control our unpatented trade secrets, know-how and other technological innovation, we may suffer competitive harm.

 

We rely on unpatented technology, trade secrets, confidential information and proprietary know-how to protect our technology and maintain any future competitive position, especially when we do not believe that patent protection is appropriate or can be obtained. Trade secrets are difficult to protect. In order to protect proprietary technology and processes, we rely in part on confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees, consultants and others. These agreements generally provide that the individual must keep confidential and not disclose to other parties any confidential information developed or learned by the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship with us except in limited circumstances. These agreements generally also provide that we shall own all inventions conceived by the individual in the course of rendering services to us. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information or result in the effective assignment to us of intellectual property and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or other breaches of the agreements. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information that have been licensed to us or that we own, and in such case, we could not assert any trade secret rights against such party.

 

Enforcing a claim that a party illegally obtained and is using trade secrets that have been licensed to us or that we own is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to seek to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could have a material adverse effect on our business. Moreover, some of our academic institution licensors, collaborators and scientific advisors have rights to publish data and information to which we have rights. If we cannot maintain the confidentiality of our technologies and other confidential information in connection with our collaborations, our ability to protect our proprietary information or obtain patent protection in the future may be impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

The public trading market for our common stock is volatile and will likely result in higher spreads in stock prices.

 

Our common stock is trading in the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the OTC Pink. The over-the-counter market for securities has historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as our ability to implement our business plan, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our results of operations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, the spreads on stock traded through the over-the-counter market are generally unregulated and higher than on stock exchanges, which means that the difference between the price at which shares could be purchased by investors on the over-the-counter market compared to the price at which they could be subsequently sold would be greater than on these exchanges. Significant spreads between the bid and asked prices of the stock could continue during any period in which a sufficient volume of trading is unavailable or if the stock is quoted by an insignificant number of market makers. We cannot ensure that our trading volume will be sufficient to significantly reduce this spread, or that we will have sufficient market makers to affect this spread. These higher spreads could adversely affect investors who purchase the shares at the higher price at which the shares are sold, but subsequently sell the shares at the lower bid prices quoted by the brokers. Unless the bid price for the stock increases and exceeds the price paid for the shares by the investor, plus brokerage commissions or charges, shareholders could lose money on the sale. For higher spreads such as those on over-the-counter stocks, this is likely a much greater percentage of the price of the stock than for exchange listed stocks. There is no assurance that at the time the shareholder wishes to sell the shares, the bid price will have sufficiently increased to create a profit on the sale.

Because our shares are designated as “penny stock”, broker-dealers will be less likely to trade in our stock due to, among other items, the requirements for broker-dealers to disclose to investors the risks inherent in penny stocks and to make a determination that the investment is suitable for the purchaser.

 

Our shares are designated as “penny stock” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and thus may be more illiquid than shares not designated as penny stock. The SEC has adopted rules which regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks are defined generally as: non-Nasdaq equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share; not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; or in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years, or $10,000,000, if in continuous operation for less than three years, or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, to provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules. Since our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors in the shares may find it more difficult to sell their shares. Many brokers have decided not to trade in penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. The reduction in the number of available market makers and other broker-dealers willing to trade in penny stocks may limit the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their stock in any secondary market. These penny stock regulations, and the restrictions imposed on the resale of penny stocks by these regulations, could adversely affect our stock price.

 

Our Board of Directors can, without shareholder approval, cause preferred stock to be issued on terms that adversely affect common shareholders.

 

Under our Articles of Incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 26,238 are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report. Also, our board of directors, without shareholder approval, may determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares. If our board of directors causes any additional shares of preferred stock to be issued, the rights of the holders of our common stock could be adversely affected. Our board of directors’ ability to determine the terms of preferred stock and to cause its issuance, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Additional preferred shares issued by our board of directors could include voting rights, or even additional super voting rights (above those pertaining to the Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock), which could shift the ability to control our company to the holders of our preferred stock. Additional preferred shares could also have conversion rights into shares of our common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock which could negatively affect the market for our common stock. In addition, preferred shares would have preference in the event of our liquidation, which means that the holders of preferred shares would be entitled to receive the net assets of our company distributed in liquidation before the common stock holders receive any distribution of the liquidated assets.

 

We have not paid, and do not intend to pay in the near future, dividends on our common shares and therefore, unless our common stock appreciates in value, our shareholders may not benefit from holding our common stock.

 

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since inception. Therefore, any return on the investment made in our shares of common stock will likely be dependent initially upon the shareholder’s ability to sell our common shares in the open market, at prices in excess of the amount paid for our common shares and broker commissions on the sales.

 

Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of brokerage firms.

 

Additional risks may exist because we became public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our company since there is little incentive for brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct secondary offerings on our behalf in the future.

Shares of our common stock that have not been registered under federal securities laws are subject to resale restrictions imposed by Rule 144, including those set forth in Rule 144(i) which apply to a former “shell company.”

 

Prior to the closing of the SEA, we were deemed a “shell company” under applicable SEC rules and regulations because we had no or nominal operations and either no or nominal assets, assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents, or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. Pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act sales of the securities of a former shell company, such as us, under that rule are not permitted (i) until at least 12 months have elapsed from the date on which Form 10-type information reflecting our status as a non-shell company, is filed with the SEC and (ii) unless at the time of a proposed sale, we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and have filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months, other than Form 8-K reports. Without registration under the Securities Act, our shareholders will be forced to hold their shares of our common stock for at least that 12-month period after the filing of the report on Form 8-K following the closing of the reverse merger before they are eligible to sell those shares pursuant to Rule 144, and even after that 12-month period, sales may not be made under Rule 144 unless we are in compliance with other requirements of Rule 144. Further, it will be more difficult for us to raise funding to support our operations through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities under the Securities Act, which could cause us to expend significant time and cash resources. The lack of liquidity of our securities as a result of the inability to sell under Rule 144 for a longer period of time than a non-former shell company could negatively affect the market price of our securities.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” and will be able take advantage of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies,” which could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Item 2.Properties

 

We currently do not own any properties. We entered into a lease agreement for our principal office located in Cambridge, Massachusetts on August 1, 2017 which began on January 1, 2018 and terminated on December 31, 2018. We entered into a new lease agreement on March 12, 2019, which began on January 1, 2019 and terminated on June 30, 2019. Pursuant to the lease, we are obligated to pay the landlord monthly installments of $2,000 for a total lease payment of $12,000 in 2019. We secured a 2nd lease for July – December 2019 at $2,000/month for an additional $12,000 in 2019. As of 2020, we reduced the amount of space required and have renegotiated the lease terms to $250/month.

We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Limited trading volume has occurred during these periods. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Our common stock is considered to be penny stock under rules promulgated by the SEC. Under these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in these securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes risks associated with these stocks, broker-dealers’ duties, customers’ rights and remedies, market and other information, and make suitability determinations approving the customers for these stock transactions based on financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing, provide monthly account statements to customers, and obtain specific written consent of each customer. With these restrictions, the likely effect of designation as a penny stock is to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the stock, to decrease the liquidity of the stock and increase the transaction cost of sales and purchases of these stocks compared to other securities.

 

Holders

 

As of the close of business on April 8, 2022, we had approximately 130 holders of our common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. We have appointed Issuer Direct, 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84117, to act as transfer agent for the common stock.

  

Dividends

 

We have never declared a cash dividend on our common stock and our Board of Directors does not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, restrictions contained in our agreements and other factors which our Board of Directors deems relevant.

We are obligated to pay dividends to certain holders of our preferred stock which we pay out of legally available funds from time to time or reach arrangements with our holders of preferred stock to convert limited quantities of preferred stock at favorable conversion prices in lieu of dividend payments.

2017 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On March 16, 2017, our board of directors assumed the 2017 Stock Awards Plan adopted by the Company while domiciled in New Jersey. No awards were made under this plan. On December 14, 2017, the Board of Directors terminated this plan and adopted a new 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The purposes of the 2017 Plan are (a) to enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of our business largely depends, and (b) to provide additional incentives to such persons or entities to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of our company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of our Company and thereby have an interest in the success and increased value of our Company.

 

There are 4,500,000 shares of common stock authorized for non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock grants, and stock appreciation rights under the 2017 Plan, which are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and other situations.

    

The 2017 Plan is administered by our board of directors; however, the board of directors may designate administration of the 2017 Plan to a committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Only employees of our Company or of an “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the 2017 Plan, (including members of the board of directors if they are employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company) are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Plan. Employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company, members of the board of directors (whether or not employed by our company or an Affiliated Company), and “Service Providers”, as defined in the 2017 Plan, are eligible to receive non-qualified options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights under the 2017 Plan. All awards are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

 

 

 19 

 

 

No option awards may be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. In the event of termination of employment for cause, the options terminate on the date of employment is terminated. In the event of termination of employment for disability or death, the optionee or administrator of optionee’s estate or transferee has six months following the date of termination to exercise options received at the time of disability or death. In the event of termination for any other reason other than for cause, disability or death, the optionee has 30 days to exercise his or her options.

 

The 2017 Plan will continue in effect until all the stock available for grant or issuance has been acquired through exercise of options or grants of shares, or until ten years after its adoption, whichever is earlier. Awards under the 2017 Plan may also be accelerated in the event of certain corporate transactions such as a merger or consolidation or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Board had awarded 4,352,288 shares of Common Stock under the 2017 Plan.

 

2019 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On March 11, 2019, the Board of Directors adopted the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The purposes of the 2019 Plan are (a) to enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of our business largely depends, and (b) to provide additional incentives to such persons or entities to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of our company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of our Company and thereby have an interest in the success and increased value of our Company.

 

The 2019 Plan is administered by our board of directors; however, the board of directors may designate administration of the 2019 Plan to a committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Awards may be made under the Plan for up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Only employees of our Company or of an “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the 2019 Plan, (including members of the board of directors if they are employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company) are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the 2019 Plan. Employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company, members of the board of directors (whether or not employed by our company or an Affiliated Company), and “Service Providers”, as defined in the 2019 Plan, are eligible to receive non-qualified options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights under the 2019 Plan. All awards are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

  

No option awards may be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. In the event of termination of employment for cause, the options terminate on the date of employment is terminated. In the event of termination of employment for disability or death, the optionee or administrator of optionee’s estate or transferee has six months following the date of termination to exercise options received at the time of disability or death. In the event of termination for any other reason other than for cause, disability or death, the optionee has 30 days to exercise his or her options.

   

The 2019 Plan will continue in effect until all the stock available for grant or issuance has been acquired through exercise of options or grants of shares, or until ten years after its adoption, whichever is earlier. Awards under the 2019 Plan may also be accelerated in the event of certain corporate transactions such as a merger or consolidation or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Board had awarded 3,560,000 shares Common Stock under the 2019 Plan.

 

Stock Options

 

We currently have no outstanding stock options.

The agreement provides for GHS’s purchase, from time to time, of up to 600 shares of our newly-designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The following discussions are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingencies. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experiences and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management.

  

Trends and Uncertainties

 

On July 28, 2017, we closed the reverse acquisition transaction under the Securities Exchange Agreement dated March 16, 2017, as reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 3, 2017. Following the closing, our business has been that of OXYS, Inc. and HereLab, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries. Our operations have varied significantly following the closing since, prior to that time, we were an inactive shell company.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

During the year 2020, the effects of a new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and related actions to attempt to control its spread began to impact our business. The impact of COVID-19 on our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2020 was limited, in all material respects, due to the government mandated numerous measures, including closures of businesses, limitations on movements of individuals and goods, and the imposition of other restrictive measures, in its efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the country.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments around the world have mandated, and continue to introduce, orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

Historical Background

 

We were incorporated in the State of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply of New Jersey Corporation and subsequently changed our name to Gotham Capital Holdings, Inc. on May 18, 2015. We commenced operations in the beauty supply industry as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of our wholesale and retail beauty supply business. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, we had no operations and were a shell company.

 

On March 16, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions, which were approved by shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares, to change our name to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.”, to authorize a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada, to authorize a 2017 Stock Awards Plan, and to approve the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “OXYS SEA”) between the Company and OXYS Corporation (“OXYS”), a Nevada corporation incorporated on August 4, 2016.

 

Under the terms of the OXYS SEA we acquired 100% of the issued voting shares of OXYS in exchange for 34,687,244 shares of our Common Stock. We also cancelled 1,500,000 outstanding shares of our Common Stock and changed our management to Mr. DiBiase who also served in management of OXYS. Also, one of our principal shareholders entered into a consulting agreement with OXYS to provide consulting services during the transition. The OXYS SEA was effective on July 28, 2017, and our name was changed to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” at that time. Effective October 26, 2017, our domicile was changed from New Jersey to Nevada.

 

On December 14, 2017, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “HereLab SEA”) with HereLab, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HereLab”), and HereLab’s two shareholders pursuant to which we would acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of HereLab in exchange for the issuance of 1,650,000 shares of our Common Stock, on a pro rata basis, to HereLab’s two shareholders. The closing of the transaction occurred on January 11, 2018 and HereLab became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

At the present time, we have two, wholly-owned subsidiaries which are OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc., through which our operations are conducted.

  

General Overview

 

IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and OXYS, were originally established for the purposes of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing systems for the Industrial Internet. Both companies were, and presently are, early-stage technology startups that are largely pre-revenue in their development phase. HereLab is also an early-stage technology development company. We received our first revenues in the last quarter of 2017, continued to realize revenues until 2020 when the pandemic hit, and we realized nominal revenues through 2021.

 

We develop hardware, software and algorithms that monitor, measure and predict conditions for energy, structural, agricultural and medical applications. We use domain-specific Artificial Intelligence to solve industrial and environmental challenges. Our engineered solutions focus on common sense approaches to machine learning, algorithm development and hardware and software products.

 

We use off the shelf components, with reconfigurable hardware architecture that adapts to a wide range of customer needs and applications. We use open-source software tools, while still creating proprietary content for customers, thereby reducing software development time and cost. The software works with the hardware to collect data from the equipment or structure that is being monitored.

 

We focus on developing insights. We develop algorithms that help our customers create insights from vast data streams. The data collected is analyzed and reports are created for the customer. From these insights, the customer can act to improve their process, product or structure.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources for the Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2020

 

At December 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of $46,821, which represents a $56,253 decrease from the $103,074 cash balance at December 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily as a result of net cash used in operating activities of $628,103, cash received from convertible notes payable of $521,850 and cash received from the sale of Series B Preferred Stock of $50,000. Our working capital deficit at December 31, 2021 was $1,108,787, as compared to a working capital deficit of $2,665,436 at December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

 

 

 23 

 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred a net loss of $1,063,554. Net cash flows used in operating activities was $628,103 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred a net loss of $2,236,774. Net cash flows used in operating activities was $117,138 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $571,850, consisting of cash received from the issuance of Convertible Notes payable of $521,850 and cash proceeds from sale of Series B Preferred Stock of $50,000, respectively.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $196,000, consisting of cash received from the issuance of Convertible Notes payable of $129,300, cash proceeds from sale of Series B Preferred Stock of $130,000, cash payments on notes payable of $100,000, and cash received from the PPP of $36,700.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred net loss from operations of $1,063,554 for the year ended December 31, 2021, and net loss of $2,236,774 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and have an accumulated deficit of $8,544,232 as of December 31, 2021, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

  

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we earned revenues of $11,280 and incurred related cost of sales of $2,040. We incurred professional fees of $508,153, payroll costs of $301,707, and other general and administrative expenses of $79,282. We recorded net other expenses of $161,333, net of other income of $269,666, primarily due to gain on change in the fair market value of derivative liability of $102,966, gain on extinguishment of debt of $120,000, other income of $46,7000 consisting of forgiveness of PPP Loan of $36,700 and EIDL advance of $10,000, offset by interest expense of $430,999 on notes payable due to amortization of debt discount and interest payable on notes payable. We also recorded $22,320 as preferred stock dividend on convertible preferred stock for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $1,063,554 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Comparatively, for the year ended December 31, 2020, we earned revenues of $36,771 and incurred related cost of sales of $15,044. We incurred professional fees of $802,135, payroll costs of $137,220, and other general and administrative expenses of $109,016. We incurred other expenses of $1,208,467, net of other income of $5,000, primarily due to the loss on change in the fair market value of derivative liability of $220,325, interest expense of $737,541 on notes payable due to amortization of debt discount and interest payable on notes payable, loss on the derivatives and loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2020. We also recorded $1,663 as preferred stock dividend on convertible preferred stock for the year ended December 31, 2020. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $2,236,774 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

During the current and prior period, we did not record an income tax benefit due to the uncertainty associated with the Company’s ability to utilize the deferred tax assets.

  

Year over Year (YoY) revenue was less in 2021 than 2020. This was due to several reasons, including: the negative business impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic and longer than anticipated customer acquisition times. These two factors led to cash flow issues, which in turn led to additional and aging accounts payable. Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021 disclosed risks of ongoing concerns, and those concerns still exist. Despite cash flow issues, cost cutting and capital infusions allowed us to weather a difficult year in 2021. Despite these headwinds, our achievements in 2021 were significant: The successful pilot for our Fortune 500 Pharma customer allowed our strategic partner, Aingura IIoT, S.G., to win an initial contract with ArcelorMittal, which manufactures steel in 17 countries. That contract resulted in subcontracts for AI and Machine Learning services for our company and recorded as revenue in our third and fourth quarters. Our successful full year of structural health monitoring and analysis on several bridges for a New England state’s DOT pilot resulted in new business for our partner, Aingura IIoT, S.G. and anticipated future business for our company. Aingura won a Phase 1 contract for a Spanish Railway Bridge Monitoring project, and Oxys won a commitment from our current customer, the New England state’s DOT, to extend our bridge monitoring contract in 2022. These accomplishments are proof that our successful pilots in our key industry verticals have resulted in new business and will continue to do so in 2022 and beyond. Also, the strength of the Aingura IIoT, S.G. collaboration agreement has bolstered financial stability, added talent breadth and depth, and provides complimentary industry segment experience. Furthermore, liquidity of our stock has attracted funding that gives us access to additional capital. This capital will enable the funding of business development, staff augmentation, and inorganic growth opportunities.

 

 

 

 24 

 

 

It is anticipated that 2022 YoY revenue growth will meet or exceed that of 2021. This is due to these aforementioned reasons: the strength of the Aingura IIoT, S.G. collaboration, two successful pilots in our key target industries, use cases and marketing collateral from the pilots’ data and algorithms, experienced leadership, savvy technological talent, and operational execution excellence. Our continued focus on high potential growth markets (specifically Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device Operations), have yielded numerous prospects for future growth. Furthermore, the strength of our target market, Industry 4.0, continues: Market research shows the worldwide Industry 4.0 market in 2021 was $64.9 billion and is projected to be $165.5 billion by 2026 (20.6% CAGR). We believe our strengths in these markets will yield breakthroughs in new contracts with current customers, as well as new customers in all targeted industry segments. By combining the resulting organic growth with inorganic growth, we believe these revenue goals are achievable.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

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, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements.

  

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB and do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Certain specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that are available to public companies that are emerging growth companies. These provisions include:

 

  1. an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
  2. an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies;
  3. an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about our audit and our financial statements; and
  4. reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

 

We have elected to take advantage of the exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to public companies required to adopt these new requirements.

Item 9A.Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, as such, is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, Clifford Emmons, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Mr. Emmons, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2021. Based on his evaluation, Mr. Emmons concluded that, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021. In light of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, we completed substantive procedures, including validating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used for accounting prior to filing this Annual Report.

 

These additional procedures have allowed us to conclude that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

  

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based upon Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

 

During its evaluation, management noted certain matters involving internal control and its operation that we consider to be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.

 

 

 

 26 

 

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

We noted deficiencies involving lack of segregation of duties, lack of governance/oversight, and lack of internal control documentation that we believe to be material weaknesses.

 

Because of this material weaknesses, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

  

Remediation of the Material Weakness

 

We are evaluating the material weaknesses and developing a plan of remediation to strengthen our overall internal control over financial reporting. The remediation plan will include the following actions:

 

  · Separation of corporate responsibilities, e.g. CEO, CFO, Secretary, etc. to different key management individuals; and
     
  · Creation and adoption of a formal policy manual specifically dealing with financial controls.

 

Due to a material weakness as disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we committed to the same remediation plan, as disclosed above; however, due to lack of resources, we were unable to execute the contemplated remediation plan. If we are unable to increase our workforce, we may never be able to implement the remediation plan proposed above.

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and we believe that these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements in our controls. We have started to implement these steps, as disclosed above; however, some of these steps will take time to be fully integrated and confirmed to be effective and sustainable. Additional controls may also be required over time. Until the remediation steps set forth above are fully implemented and tested, the material weakness described above will continue to exist.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our most recent fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

A majority of the authorized number of directors constitutes a quorum of the Board of Directors for the transaction of business. The directors must be present at the meeting to constitute a quorum. However, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors individually or collectively consent in writing to the action.

 

Business Experience of Executive Officers and Directors

 

The principal occupation and business experience during the past five years for our executive officers and directors is as follows:

 

Clifford L. Emmons: Mr. Emmons has served as our Chief Executive Officer, President, Interim Chief Financial Officer, and director since June 4, 2018. From 1995 to 2017, Mr. Emmons worked for Medtronic, a global leader in medical technology, services, and solutions, where he served in various capacities including several Vice President and Director positions. Mr. Emmons is also the founder of AHI, LLC, a consultancy firm. Mr. Emmons received an Executive Certificate in Strategy & Innovation from MIT, a Master’s of Science in Management Engineering from the University of Bridgeport, a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Haven, and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Connecticut.

Legal Proceedings

 

During the past ten years there have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any of our directors or executive officers, and none of these persons has been involved in any judicial or administrative proceedings resulting from involvement in mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity, any judicial or administrative proceedings based on violations of federal or state securities, commodities, banking or insurance laws or regulations, or any disciplinary sanctions or orders imposed by a stock, commodities or derivatives exchange or other self-regulatory organization.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between any of our directors and executive officers.

  

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”

  

We currently have not established any committees of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees in the future. We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, other than as described above, no security holders have made any such recommendations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 

Under U.S. securities laws, directors, certain officers and persons holding more than 10% of our common stock must report their initial ownership of our common stock and any changes in their ownership to the SEC. The SEC has designated specific due dates for these reports and we must identify in this Proxy Statement those persons who did not file these reports when due. Based solely on our review of copies of the reports filed with the SEC and the written representations of our directors and executive officers, we believe that all reporting requirements for fiscal year 2021 were complied with by each person who at any time during the 2021 fiscal year was a director or an executive officer or held more than 10% of our common stock, except for the following: Ms. McNemar filed a Form 4 late. Ms. McNemar failed to timely file the vesting of an award of restricted shares.

 

Code of Ethics

 

On March 9, 2018, the Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”). The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

  · honest and ethical conduct;
     
  · full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Company;
     
  · avoidance and ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest, including disclosure to an appropriate person of any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict;
     
  · confidentiality of corporate information;

 

 

 

 29 

 

 

     
  · protection and proper use of corporate assets and opportunities;
     
  · compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules, and regulations;
     
  · prompt internal reporting of any violations of this Code to an appropriate person; and
     
  · accountability for adherence to the Code.

 

The Code of Ethics applies to all directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics is available at www.oxyscorp.com and is included as an exhibit to this Annual Report. The Company will provide any person, without charge and upon request through our website, a copy of the Code of Ethics.

(1) Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the above table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on the April 7, 2022.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

For transactions with our executive officers, please see the disclosure under “Item 11. Executive Compensation.” above.

 

Coufal Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement

 

On March 11, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement dated effective April 23, 2018 with Antony Coufal, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer (the “Coufal Agreement”). The term of the Coufal Agreement is for three years beginning as of the effective date, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the agreement and is automatically renewable for one-year terms upon the consent of the parties. The services to be provided by Mr. Coufal pursuant to the Coufal Agreement are those customary for the position in which he is serving.

 

Mr. Coufal shall receive a monthly fee of $9,375 which accrues unless converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion rate specified in the Coufal Agreement. Until the Company closes a minimum $500,000 capital raise, the monthly fee accrues and, upon the closing of such a capital raise, $3,125 of the monthly fee will be paid to Mr. Coufal in cash and the remainder will continue to accrue. Upon the closing of a capital raise of at least $2,000,000, the entire monthly fee will be paid to Mr. Coufal in cash and all accrued and unpaid monthly fees will be paid by the Company within one year of the closing of such a capital raise.

 

 

 

 34 

 

  

As of the effective date, the Company shall issue to Mr. Coufal an aggregate of 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock which vest as follows:

 

  1. 300,000 shares on the first-year anniversary of the effective date;
  2. 600,000 shares on the second-year anniversary of the effective date; and
  3. 900,000 shares on the third-year anniversary of the effective date.

 

The shares are granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. Vesting of the shares is subject to acceleration of vesting upon the occurrence of certain events such as a Change of Control (as defined in the Coufal Agreement) or the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on a senior exchange.

 

On June 12, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment effective January 1, 2020 (the “Coufal Amendment”) to the Coufal Agreement, pursuant to which, Sections 7(a) and 7(b) of the Coufal Agreement were amended to read as follows:

 

Fees. From January 1, 2020 until April 23, 2020, the Consultant shall be paid an hourly wage of $12.75 per hour for Services performed. From April 24, 2020 onward, the Consultant shall be paid an hourly wage of $48.08 an hour for Services performed (the “Fees”). Fees may accrue at the discretion of management.

 

Conversion of Accrued and Unpaid Fees. At any time, the Consultant shall have the right to convert any accrued and unpaid Fees into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”). The conversion price shall equal 90% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 10%) (the “Conversion Price”). “Market Price” means the average of the Trading Prices (as defined below) for the shares of Common Stock of the Company during the thirty (30) day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” and “Trading Prices” means, for any security as of any date, the closing trade price of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Pink, OTCQB or applicable trading market as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Consultant or, if the OTC Pink is not the principal trading market for such security, the trading price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no trading price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the trading prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. “Conversion Date” shall mean the date of receipt by the Company of the completed and executed Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

  

Pursuant to the Coufal Amendment, Section 11 was also eliminated from the Coufal Agreement.

 

Coufal Debt Forgiveness Agreement

 

On June 11, 2020, the Company entered into Debt Forgiveness Agreements with Mr. Coufal pursuant to which Mr. Coufal forgave $82,475 of accrued and unpaid consulting fees owed to him pursuant to his consulting agreement with the Company.

 

Coufal Termination Agreement

 

Effective March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Mr. Coufal, pursuant to which Mr. Coufal resigned and from all positions within the Company and any of its subsidiaries. In addition, the Termination Agreement provided for the payment of $11,144.42 in reimbursable expenses and $130,451 in accrued and unpaid consulting fees to Mr. Coufal within five business days of the effective date. The Termination Agreement also provided for the issuance to Mr. Coufal 843,288 shares of the Company’s Common Stock within five business days of the effective date.

 

Cambridge MedSpace Note

 

On January 22, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Cambridge MedSpace, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company for the purchase of a 5% Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of $55,000. The note was convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of our Common Stock, at any time at a rate of $0.65 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at our election. The note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum and interest payments will be made on an annual basis. The original maturity date of the note was January 22, 2020. The note is governed by the SPA and is secured by all our assets (but is not a senior secured note) pursuant to the Security Agreement. In addition to the issuance of the note, we issued to Cambridge MedSpace warrants to purchase one share of our Common Stock for 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the note. Each warrant was originally immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share and expires on January 22, 2024. The lender is owned by shareholders of the Company, or their affiliates, including Clifford L. Emmons, our Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer, and director.

  

 

 

 35 

 

 

On June 12, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the note with Cambridge MedSpace pursuant to which the note was amended to extend the maturity date to March 1, 2021.

 

On April 6, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the note with Cambridge MedSpace pursuant to which the maturity date as extended to March 1, 2024.

 

Due to adjustments to the conversion price of the note, the conversion price is currently $0.0008.

 

Vidhyadhar Note

 

On August 2, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vidhyadhar Mitta, a director of the Company, for the purchase of a 12% Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of up to $125,000. The note was originally convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of our Common Stock, at any time at a rate of $0.08 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at our election. The note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and interest payments were originally to be made on a quarterly basis. The note originally matured August 2, 2021. On August 2, 2019, the first closing of the note occurred pursuant to which we received $75,000. On September 6, 2019, the second closing occurred pursuant to which the Company received $25,000. On October 16, 2019, the third closing occurred pursuant to which the Company received $25,000.

 

The note is governed by the SPA and is secured by all the assets of the Company (but is not a senior secured note) pursuant to the Security Agreement. In addition to the issuance of the note, we issued to the Mr. Mitta warrants to purchase one share our Common Stock for 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the funds received. Each warrant was originally immediately exercisable at $0.12 per share and expires on August 2, 2024.

 

Due to adjustments to the conversion price of the note, the conversion price is currently $0.0008.

 

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” Although we have not have adopted the independence standards any national securities exchange to determine the independence of directors, the NYSE MKT LLC provides that a person will be considered an independent director if he or she is not an officer of the company and is, in the view of our board of directors, free of any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. Under this standard, our board of directors has determined that Mr. Mitta would meet this standard, and therefore, would be considered to be independent.

There were no other fees billed for products or services provided by the principal accountants, other than those previously reported above, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

Audit Committee

 

We do not have an Audit Committee; therefore, the Board of Directors has considered whether the non-audit services provided by our auditors to us are compatible with maintaining the independence of our auditors and concluded that the independence of our auditors is not compromised by the provision of such services. Our Board of Directors pre-approves all auditing services and permitted non-audit services, including the fees and terms of those services, to be performed for us by our independent auditor prior to engagement.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of IIOT-OXYS, Inc.

 

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of IIOT-OXYS, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (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 the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception and has negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. 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.

IIOT-OXYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2021 and 2020

 

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

 

Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to “the Company”, “our company”, “we”, “us”, or “our” refers to IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and as applicable to its wholly-owned subsidiaries, OXYS Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and HereLab, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) was originally established for the purpose of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing Systems for the Industrial Internet. The Company is currently devoting substantially all its efforts in identifying, developing and marketing engineered products, software and services for applications in the Industrial Internet which involves collecting and processing data collected from a wide variety of industrial systems and machines.

 

We were incorporated in the state of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply Corporation and commenced operations as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of our wholesale and retail beauty supply business. On May 18, 2015, we changed our name to Gotham Capital Holdings. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, we had no operations. On March 16, 2017, our Board of Directors approved to change our name to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” and authorized a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the effects of a new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and related actions to attempt to control its spread began to impact our business. The impact of COVID-19 on our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2021 was limited, in all material respects, due to the government mandated numerous measures, including closures of businesses, limitations on movements of individuals and goods, and the imposition of other restrictive measures, in its efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the country.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments around the world have mandated, and continue to introduce, orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company. The financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, include the accounts of Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

 

 

 F-7 

 

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and payable to related party. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors 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 and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has suffered continuing operating losses, used cash flows in operating activities of $628,103 and has an accumulated deficit of $8,544,232 as of December 31, 2021. These factors, among others, raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management believes that the Company will be able to achieve a satisfactory level of liquidity to meet the Company’s obligations for the next 12 months by generating cash through additional borrowings and/or sale of equity securities, as needed. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to maintain its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to GAAP in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. The Company reported a cash balance of $46,821 and $103,074 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying potential troubled accounts and by using historical experience and future expectations applied to an aging of accounts. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

 

 

 F-8 

 

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company regularly reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of its long-lived assets to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist that warrant adjustments to the carrying value or estimated useful lives. The determinants used for this evaluation include management’s estimate of the asset’s ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the assets to the Company’s business objectives.

 

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited and are reviewed when appropriate for possible impairment.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible note and preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from providing services under contractual agreements. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) which was adopted on January 1, 2018.

 

According to ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue based on the following criteria:

 

  · Identification of a contract or contracts, with a customer.
  · Identification of performance obligations in the contract.
  · Determination of contract price.
  · Allocation of transaction price to the performance obligation.
  · Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company used a practical expedient available under ASC 606-10-65-1(f)4 that permits it to consider the aggregate effect of all contract modifications that occurred before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations.

 

The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities as cost of sales. Additionally, the Company has elected to record revenue net of sales and other similar taxes.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents which are generally not collateralized. The Company’s policy is to place its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions, in order to limit the amount of credit exposure. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), up to $250,000. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

 

 

 

 F-9 

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial instruments consist principally of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and related parties payable. The Company believes that the recorded values of all the financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provide that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions.” When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

 

Convertible Debt and Convertible Preferred Stock

 

When the Company issues convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and second whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible debt instrument or certain convertible preferred stock would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a standalone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

 

 

 F-10 

 

 

If a conversion feature does not meet the conditions to be separated and accounted for as an embedded derivative liability, the Company then determines whether the conversion feature is “beneficial”. A conversion feature would be considered beneficial if the conversion feature is “in the money” when the host instrument is issued or, under certain circumstances, later. If convertible debt contains a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), the amount of the amount of the proceeds allocated to the BCF reduces the balance of the convertible debt, creating a discount which is amortized over the debt’s term to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

When a convertible preferred stock contains a BCF, after allocating the proceeds to the BCF, the resulting discount is either amortized over the period beginning when the convertible preferred stock is issued up to the earliest date the conversion feature may be exercised, or if the convertible preferred stock is immediately exercisable, the discount is fully amortized at the date of issuance. The amortization is recorded similar to a dividend.

 

Convertible debt is accounted for under the ASC 470-20, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options.

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

  

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

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, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB and 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.

A.January 18, 2018 Convertible Note and Warrants (“Note A”)

 

On January 18, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a non-public offering of up to $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes. The notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at a rate of $0.65 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at the Company’s election. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and interest payments will be made on a quarterly basis. The notes matured on January 15, 2020.

 

The notes are governed by a Securities Purchase Agreement and are secured by all the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement. In addition to the issuance of the notes in the offering, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, as part of the offering, the issuance of warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each note. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share, contains certain anti-dilution down-round features and expires on January 15, 2023. If the Company ever defaults on the loan, the warrants to be issued will increase from 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion to 100%.

 

On March 7, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved Amendment No. 1 to the 12% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note and the Warrant Agreement, each issued January 22, 2018, respectively, to the note holder. The amendments (i) extend the maturity date of the note to March 1, 2021 and extend the term of the warrants to March 6, 2024, (ii) lower the conversion price of the note and the exercise price of the warrants to $0.20 and $0.30, respectively, and (iii) add an adjustment to the conversion and exercise price of the note and warrants, respectively, in the event the Company does not achieve certain milestones during calendar 2019. The fair value of the warrants is $25,162 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 2.6%; and volatility of 127%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a discount of $23,956 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the note. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $221,232 related to the decrease in conversion price.

 

On January 1, 2020, the Company failed to achieve certain milestones during calendar 2019 and, as such, the conversion/exercise prices of the note and warrants were adjusted to $0.10 and $0.15, respectively. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $201 based on the change in fair value.

 

Effective January 15, 2020, the Company went into technical default of the note agreement as a result of not making the December 31, 2019 interest payment within the required period. As a result, the principal was increased by 20%, or $100,000, and the Company was required to issue an additional 384,615 warrants at the then effective exercise price of $0.15 per share. The fair value of the warrants was $44,297, determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 4.14 years; risk free interest rate of 1.6%; and volatility of 243%. Due to the default, this value was immediately expensed.

 

As of March 31, 2020, the exercise price of the warrants was further adjusted to $0.00084 as a result of the down-round features being triggered. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $71 based on the change in fair value.

 

On January 28, 2021, the noteholder of Note A agreed to extend the maturity date of the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note to March 1, 2022, in exchange for the reduction of the conversion price to $0.01 per share, and all prior Events of Default (as defined in the Note A) including penalties of $100,000 were waived, and all future Events of Default (as defined in the Note A) pertaining to the future payment of interest were waived through maturity. On December 14, 2021, the Company entered into amendment to the Note A which limits the respective holder to conversions resulting in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of no more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The Company recorded $100,000 as extinguishment of debt in its statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company recorded $300,000 as the beneficial conversion feature discount on note payable of $500,000 on January 28, 2021. On March 14, 2022, the noteholder of Note A, effective March 1, 2022, agreed to extend the maturity date of the Senior Secured Convertible Note to March 1, 2023 in exchange for the reduction of the conversion price to $0.008 per share and one-year extensions as long as the Note A is not in default.

 

 

 

 F-15 

 

 

On February 4, 2021, the noteholder A converted the principal balance of $50,000 of its convertible promissory note into 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (Note 9). On April 15, 2021, the noteholder A converted the principal balance of $75,000 of its convertible promissory note into 7,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company (Note 9). On July 28, 2021, the noteholder A converted the principal balance of $80,000 of its convertible promissory note into 8,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (Note 9). The conversion shares totaled 42,603,642 and 6,858,244 shares of common stock, upon conversion of the total principal and accrued interest of $426,036 and $685,824, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

The Company amortized the beneficial conversion feature discount to interest expense of $254,660 and $12,060 for the years ended December 31, 20221 and 2020, respectively. The unamortized discount totaled $45,340 and $1,978 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded interest expense of $45,212 and $70,701 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Accrued interest payable on Note A was $131,036 and $85,824 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

The principal balance payable on Note A amounted to $295,000 and $600,000 on December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

B.January 2019 Convertible Note and Warrants (“Note B”)

 

On January 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Security and Pledge Agreement with a single investor and issued a Secured Convertible Promissory Note to the investor in the principal amount of $55,000. In addition to the note, the Company issued to the investor 36,667 warrants. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share, contains certain anti-dilution down-round features and expires on January 22, 2024. If the Company ever defaults on the loan, the warrants to be issued will increase from 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion to 100%. The warrants are considered equity instruments based on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-11.

 

As of March 31, 2020, the exercise price of the warrants was adjusted to $0.00084 as a result of the down-round features being triggered. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $7 based on the change in fair value. 

 

The unpaid principal balance of the note and accrued interest is $55,000 and $8,092 at December 31, 2021 and $55,000 and $5,342 as of December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $2,750 and $2,758 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company amortized the discount to interest expense $0 and $194 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

C and D. March 2019 Convertible Note and Warrants (“Note C”) and (“Note D”)

 

On March 7, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a non-public offering of up to $500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (Note C and Noted D), collectively called “Notes” unless specifically specified otherwise. The Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at a rate of $0.20 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at the Company’s election. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and interest payments will be made on a quarterly basis. The Notes matured on March 1, 2021. The conversion price of the Notes is also subject to adjustments if the Company does not achieve certain milestones during the calendar year 2019.

 

The Notes are governed by a Securities Purchase Agreement and are secured by all the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement. Funding is subject to the occurrence of certain milestones, as stated in the SPA. In addition to the issuance of the Notes in the offering, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, as part of the offering, the issuance of warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each Note. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.30 per share and expires five years from the issuance date. The exercise price of the warrants is also subject to adjustments if the Company does not achieve certain milestones during the calendar year 2019.

On March 6, 2019, the Company entered into SPAs and Security and Pledge Agreements with its first two investors (Note C and Note D) in the offering and issued Notes to the investors in the principal amount of $50,000 each totaling in the aggregate if $100,000. Subscription funds were received by the Company from the investors on March 6, 2019. In addition to the Notes, the Company issued to the investors an aggregate of 250,000 warrants. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.30 per share, contains certain anti-dilution down-round features and expires on March 6, 2024. If the Company ever defaults on the loan the warrants to be issued will increase from 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion to 100%. The warrants are considered equity instruments based on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-11.

 

The proceeds received upon issuing the Notes and warrants were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. The initial fair value of the warrants was $12,646 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 2.5%; and volatility of 127%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a discount of $11,226 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Notes.

 

On January 1, 2020, the Company failed to achieve certain milestones during calendar 2019 and, as such, the conversion/exercise prices of the Notes and warrants were adjusted to $0.10 and $0.15, respectively. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $131 based on the change in fair value.

 

Effective January 15, 2020, the Company went into technical default of the Note agreement as a result of not making the December 31, 2019 interest payment within the required period. As a result, the principal was increased by 20%, or $20,000, in aggregate, and the Company was required to issue an additional 250,000 warrants at the then effective exercise price of $0.15 per share. The fair value of the warrants was $28,793, determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 4.14 years; risk free interest rate of 1.6%; and volatility of 243%. Due to the default, this value was immediately expensed.

 

As of March 31, 2020, the exercise price of the warrants was further adjusted to $0.00084 as a result of the down-round features being triggered. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $46 based on the change in fair value. 

 

On September 21, 2020, these Notes were amended to reduce the conversion price of an aggregate of $20,000 of the total outstanding principal value of $120,000 from $0.10 to $0.01 per share. The remaining aggregate principal of $100,000 remains convertible at $0.10 per share. This modification to the Notes was considered substantial (i. e. the change in fair value of the conversion feature was greater than 10% of the carrying value of the debt). As a result, the modification was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, resulting in the recognition of an extinguishment loss of $18,360 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

On October 15, 2020, the holder of Note C converted $10,000 of the principal note amount into 1,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

On January 28, 2021, the noteholder of Note C agreed to extend the maturity date of the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note to March 1, 2022 in exchange for the reduction of the conversion price to $0.01 per share, and all prior Events of Default (as defined in the Note C) including penalties of $10,000 were waived, and all future Events of Default (as defined in the Note C) pertaining to the future payment of interest were waived through maturity. The Company recorded $10,000 as extinguishment of debt in its statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company recorded $30,000 as debt discount on note payable and amortized it to interest expense since the Note C was converted into common stock of the Company immediately. The Company amortized the discount to interest expense of $30,000 and $2,037 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The unamortized discount was $0 and $0 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded interest expense on Note C of $460 and $6,686 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Accrued interest payable on Note C was $0 and $6,050 at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

On January 28, 2021, the noteholder of Note C converted the principal balance of $40,000 of its convertible promissory note and $6,510 of accrued interest, into 4,650,978 shares of common stock of the Company (Note 9). The principal balance payable on Note C amounted to $0 and $50,000 on December 31, 2021 and 2020.

On December 14, 2021, the Company entered into amendment to the Note D which limits the respective holder to conversions resulting in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of no more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The Company recorded $10,000 as extinguishment of debt in its statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company recorded $30,000 as the beneficial conversion feature discount on note payable of $50,000 on January 28, 2021. The Company amortized the beneficial conversion feature discount to interest expense of $25,466 and $1,019 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The unamortized discount was $4,534 and $0 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded interest expense of $6,115 and $7,070 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Accrued interest payable on Note D was $14,698 and $6,768 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The principal balance payable on Note D amounted to $50,000 and $60,000 on December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

On March 14, 2022, the noteholder of Note D, effective march 1, 2022, agreed to extend the maturity date of the Senior Secured Convertible Note to March 1, 2023 in exchange for the reduction of the conversion price to $0.008 per share and one-year extensions as long as the Note D is not in default.

 

The conversion shares of Note D totaled 6,469,754 and 1,588,520 shares of common stock upon the conversion of the total principal and accrued interest of $64,698 and $68,582 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

On August 2, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor for the purchase of a 12% Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of up to $125,000. The note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at a rate of $0.08 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at the Company’s election. The note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and interest payments will be made on a quarterly basis.

In addition to the note, the Company issued to the investor an aggregate of 781,250 warrants. The warrants were considered equity instruments based on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-11.

 

The proceeds received upon issuing the note and warrants were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. The initial fair value of the warrants was $71,035 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 1.6%; and volatility of 132%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a discount of $104,941 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the note.

 

Effective January 30, 2020, the Company went into technical default of the note agreement as a result of not making the December 31, 2019 interest payment within the required period. As a result, the Company was required to issue an additional 781,250 warrants at the then effective exercise price of $0.12 per share.

F.August 29, 2019 Convertible Note and Warrants (“Note F”)

 

On August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor for the purchase of a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $105,000. The Note is not convertible within 180 days of receipt of funds for the first closing and is then convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a rate of $0.20 per share. Upon an “Event of Default,” as defined in the note, the conversion price becomes the “Variable Conversion Price” which is defined in the note as “60% multiplied by the Marked Price.” “Market Price” is defined in the note as “the lowest one (1) Trading Price (as defined in the note) for the common stock during the twenty-five (25) Trading Day period ending on the last complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date.” The note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum with principal and accrued and unpaid interest payable six months from the receipt of funds for each tranche under the note. Subscription funds of $30,000 were received by the Company from the investor on September 6, 2019 for which the Company paid a purchase price of $35,000. In addition to the notes, the Company issued to the investor an aggregate of 175,000 warrants. The warrants are considered equity instruments based on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-11.

 

The proceeds received upon issuing the notes and warrants were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. The initial fair value of the warrants was $15,868 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 1.4%; and volatility of 132%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a discount of $10,378 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes.

 

As of March 31, 2020, the exercise price of the warrants was adjusted to $0.00084 and the number of warrants was increased to 41,666,667 as a result of the down-round features being triggered. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $203,002 based on the change in fair value.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the note went into default upon passing its maturity date. As a result, a default penalty of $26,250 was recorded and added to the principal balance. In addition, the conversion price became the “Variable Conversion Price” as defined above. This note became convertible into a variable number of shares of common stock for which there is no floor to the number of shares that might be required to be issued. Based on the requirements of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the conversion feature represents an embedded derivative that is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a separate derivative liability. The derivative liability is originally recorded at its estimated fair value and is required to be revalued at each conversion event and reporting period. Changes in the derivative liability fair value are reported in operating results each reporting period.

 

The Company valued the conversion feature on the date of default resulting in initial liability of $159,888, which was immediately expensed as loss on derivative. At each conversion date, the Company recalculated the value of the derivative liability associated with the convertible note recording a gain (loss) in connection with the change in fair market value. In addition, the pro-rata portion of the derivative liability as compared to the portion of the convertible note converted was reclassed to additional paid-in capital. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $114,051 related to the change of fair value of the derivative liability to additional paid-in capital.

 

Upon issuance and at each conversion, reporting period date, and extinguishment date, the Company valued the conversion feature using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: conversion prices ranging from $0.0008 to $0.0073, the closing stock price of the Company's common stock on the date of valuation ranging from $0.0022 to $0.021, an expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility ranging from 459% to 574%, risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.11% to 0.39%, and an expected term of 0.25 years.

 

On May 20, 2020, the second closing of the Convertible Promissory Note occurred pursuant to which the Company paid a purchase price of $35,000 and received gross proceeds of $29,300. In addition to the issuance of the note, the Company issued to the holder warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock for 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the funds received in the second closing. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.20 per share, unless adjusted, and expires on May 20, 2025.

On July 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement with the lender pursuant to which the Company paid $100,000 to the lender in exchange for the full extinguishment of the remaining principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest and penalties associated with the Convertible Promissory Note dated August 29, 2019 issued to the lender (approximately $62,000). All remaining unexercised warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock issued to the lender were also extinguished pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. Upon receipt of the Settlement Amount by the lender, the lender agreed to release all reserved shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Settlement Agreement also provides for a full mutual release of the parties. The settlement payment was allocated to the extinguished debt and warrants based on their relative fair values. The difference in the settlement amount allocated to the debt components, including the related derivative liability, and the actual value of the debt components of $2,155 was recorded as a gain on extinguishment for the year ended December 31, 2020. The settlement amount allocated to the warrants of $1,609 was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. In addition, the remaining unamortized discount was fully amortized to interest expense upon the settlement.

 

On February 1, 2021, the noteholder of Note F converted the principal balance of $66,833 of its convertible promissory note and $5,177 of accrued interest into 7,200,000 shares of common stock of the Company (Note 9). The Company recorded amortization of debt to interest expense of $1,925 and $25,484 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, leaving an unamortized debt balance of $3,637 and $0 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $3,903 and $742 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The principal balance payable on Note F amounted to $33,167 and $100,000 on December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The noteholder of Note F agreed to extend the maturity date of the note from April 29, 2021 to April 29, 2022 (Note 11).

G . July 2020 Equity Financing Arrangement (“Note G”)

 

On July 29, 2020, the Company entered an Equity Financing Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with an investor, pursuant to which the investor agreed to purchase up to $5,000,000 in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, from time to time over the course of 36 months after effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 of the underlying shares of Common Stock.

 

In connection with entering into the Equity Financing Agreement, on July 29, 2020, the Company issued to the investor a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $100,000 (the “$100k Note”). The $100k Note matured on April 29, 2021 upon which time all accrued and unpaid interest was due and payable. Interest accrued on the $100k Note at 10% per annum based on a 360-day year. The $100k Note was convertible at any time, upon the election of the investor, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.01 per share. The $100k Note was subject to various “Events of Default,” which were disclosed in the $100k Note. Upon the occurrence of an uncured “Event of Default,” the $100k Note will become immediately due and payable and will be subject to penalties and adjustments to the conversion price (the lesser of: (a) $0.01 or (b) 70% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined in the $100k Note) (representing a discount rate of 30%). Upon the issuance of the $100k Note, the Company has agreed to reserve one times the number of shares of Common Stock into which the $100k Note is convertible and, 101 days from the issuance of the $100k Note, the Company will reserve two-and-a-half times the number of shares of Common Stock into which the $100k Note is convertible. Within three Trading Days (as defined in the $100k Note) of the sale by the investor of all of the Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the $100k Note, the Company is required to issue to investor a number of shares of Common Stock priced at the lowest traded price for the relevant Trading Day, which represents the difference between $130,000 and the net proceeds to the investor from the sale of aggregate Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the $100k Note.

 

Also, in connection with entering into the Equity Financing Agreement, on July 29, 2020, the Company issued to the investor a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $75,000 (the “$75k Note”). No proceeds were received for this note as it was issued to offset future transaction costs related to any future issuances of equity under the agreement. As a result, the amount has been capitalized as deferred offering costs in the accompanying balance sheet and will be offset against any future proceeds received under the agreement. The $75k Note matures on April 29, 2022 upon which time all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable. Interest accrues on the $75k Note at 10% per annum based on a 360-day year. The $75k Note is convertible at any time, upon the election of the investor, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.01 per share. The $75k Note is subject to various “Events of Default,” which are disclosed in the $75k Note. Upon the occurrence of an uncured “Event of Default,” the $75k Note will become immediately due and payable (multiplied by 130% of the unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest) and will be subject to penalties and adjustments to the conversion price (the lesser of: (a) $0.01 or (b) 70% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined in the $75k Note) (representing a discount rate of 30%). Upon the issuance of the $75k Note, the Company has agreed to reserve one time the number of shares of Common Stock into which the $75k Note is convertible and, 101 days from the issuance of the $75k Note, the Company will reserve two-and-a-half times the number of shares of Common Stock into which the $75k Note is convertible.

 

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the unpaid principal balance of Note G was $75,000, and the accrued interest was $9,740 and $2,240. The Company recorded interest expense of $7,500 and $5,226 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded amortization of debt to interest expense of $1,925 and $25,484 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, leaving an unamortized debt balance of $3,637 and $0 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The conversion shares totaled 8,473,973 shares of common stock upon conversion of the total principal and accrued interest of $84,740 as of December 31, 2021.

NOTE 6 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

          
   Year ended
December 31,
 
   2021   2020 
Net loss attributable to common stockholders (basic)  $(1,063,554)  $(2,236,774)
           
Shares used to compute net loss per common share, basic and diluted   195,264,873    110,119,684 
           
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted  $(0.01)  $(0.02)

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities which include stock options, convertible debt, convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.

 

The following outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded from diluted net loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

          
   As of December 31, 
   2021   2020 
Warrants to purchase common stock   2,868,397    2,868,397 
Potentially issuable shares related to convertible notes payable   328,816,461    273,594,437 
Potentially issuable vested shares to directors and officers       2,400,000 
Potentially issuable unvested shares to officers       3,600,000 
Total anti-dilutive common stock equivalents   331,684,858    282,462,834 

 

 

NOTE 7 - PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN

 

The Company applied for and received funding from the Payroll Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) in the amount of $36,700 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan matures on April 23, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly amortized principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement (subject to further deferral pursuant to the terms of the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act of 2020). The Promissory Note contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The Paycheck Protection Program provides that the use of PPP Loan amount shall be limited to certain qualifying expenses and may be partially or wholly forgiven in accordance with the requirements set forth in the CARES Act. On August 31, 2021, the Company received a notification from the Small Business Administration approving the forgiveness of the PPP Loan in the amount of $36,700. The Company recorded the PPP Loan of $0 and $36,700 as a liability on its Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

On November 19, 2020, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 2020 (the “SPA”), the Company entered into a new preferred equity financing agreement with GHS Investments, LLC (“GHS”) in the amount of up to $600,000. The SPA provides for GHS’s purchase, from time to time, of up to 600 shares of the newly-designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The initial closing under the SPA consisted of 45 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, stated value $1,200 per share, issued to GHS for an initial purchase price of $45,000, or $1,000 per share. At the Company’s option, and subject to the terms of the SPA and the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “COD”), additional closings in the amount of 40 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for a total purchase price of $40,000 may take place at a rate of up to once every 30 days. In connection with the initial closing in the amount of 45 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company issued an additional 25 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to GHS as a commitment fee.

 

The Company’s ability to conduct additional closings under the SPA is subject to certain conditions, including the following:

 

  · The Company’s continued compliance with all covenants and agreements under the SPA and the COD, with no uncured defaults under the Company’s agreements with GHS;

 

  · The continued quotation of the Company’s common stock on the over-the-counter market or another trading market or exchange;

 

  · The average daily dollar trading volume for the Company’s common stock for the 30 trading days preceding each additional closing must be at least $10,000 per day; and

 

  · The closing market price for the Company’s common stock must be at least $0.01 for each of the 30 trading days preceding each additional closing.

 

No additional closings may take place after the two-year anniversary of the SPA, or once the entire $600,000 amount has been funded. If the average daily dollar trading volume for the Company’s common stock for the 30 trading days preceding a particular additional closing is at least $50,000 per day, the Company may, at its option, increase the amount of that additional closing to 75 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ($75,000).

 

The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity, as it is convertible upon issuance at an amount equal to the lowest traded price for the Company’s common stock for the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.

 

Based on the requirements of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the conversion feature represents an embedded derivative that is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a separate derivative liability. The derivative liability is originally recorded at its estimated fair value and is required to be revalued at each conversion event and reporting period.

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”) was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that impact the Company, including a reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and the Transition Tax, among others. The staff of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recognized the complexity of reflecting the impacts of the Tax Reform Act, and issued guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”) in December 2017, which clarifies accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 if information is not yet available or complete and provides for up to a one-year period in which to complete the required analyses and accounting (the measurement period). Adjustments to incomplete and unknown amounts will be recorded and disclosed prospectively during the measurement period. The Company has completed the required analysis and accounting for substantially all the effects.  Except for the reduction of the income tax rate from 34% to 21%, there were no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had accumulated net operating losses of approximately $8,340,000 and $7,481,000, respectively, for U.S. federal and Massachusetts income tax purposes available to offset future taxable incomes. The net operating losses generated in tax years prior to December 31, 2017, can be carry forward for twenty years, whereas the net operating losses generated after December 31, 2017 can be carry forward indefinitely. Management determined that it was unlikely that the Company’s deferred tax assets would be realized and have provided for a full valuation allowance associated with the net deferred tax assets.

 

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s deferred income tax assets and valuation allowance were $1,465,996 and $1,287,319, respectively.

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future tax and interest assessment by these taxing authorities. Accordingly, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of tax positions it has taken in its tax returns or for the amount of any tax benefit that exceeds the cumulative probability threshold in accordance with FASB ASC 740. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts determined upon ultimate resolution, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2021, tax years 2020, 2019, and 2018 remain open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the Massachusetts Division of Revenue. The Company has received no notice of audit from the Internal Revenue Service or the Massachusetts Division of Revenue for any of the open tax years.
