H-CYTE, INC
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Description of the Company
H-CYTE, Inc (“the Company”) has evolved from focusing on treating chronic lung conditions after the closure of its lung treatment clinics due to COVID-19. The Company is currently focusing on acquiring and developing early-stage companies or their technologies in the areas of therapeutics, medical devices, and diagnostics. The goal is to develop these companies and incubate their technologies to meaningful clinical inflection points.
On June 3, 2022, the Company closed its clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Company has now closed all of its clinical operations in the autologous infusion therapy business which delivered treatments for patients with chronic respiratory and pulmonary disorders. The Company will continue to pursue Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of the device that was utilized in the treatment provided at the clinics. The Company also has a continued interest in the commercialization of the DenerveX device through a joint venture. The Company has implemented the transition into a biologics and therapeutic device incubator company to bring new technologies to market.
The consolidated results for H-CYTE include the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: H-CYTE Management, LLC, Medovex Corp, Cognitive Health Institute, LLC, and Lung Institute Tampa, LLC and the results include Lung Institute Dallas, LLC (“LI Dallas”), Lung Institute Nashville, LLC (“LI Nashville”), Lung Institute Pittsburgh, LLC (“LI Pittsburgh”), and Lung Institute Scottsdale, LLC (“LI Scottsdale”), as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). Additionally, H-CYTE Management, LLC was the operator and manager of the various Lung Health Institute (LHI) clinics: LI Dallas, LI Nashville, LI Pittsburgh, and LI Scottsdale. The LI Dallas and LI Pittsburgh clinics did not reopen in 2020 after the temporary closure of all LI clinics due to COVID-19. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company decided to close the LI Tampa and LI Nashville clinics. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company closed the LI Scottsdale clinic. All LHI clinics are closed as of March 31, 2023. The Company leases a shared office space for its corporate address as the Company’s employees continue to work remotely.
On June 10, 2022, the Company amended (the “Amendment”) its Articles of Incorporation to effectuate a one-for-one thousand reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of its common stock. The Reverse Split was approved by FINRA on June 10, 2022 and effectuated on June 13, 2022. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company also reduced the authorized shares of common stock to . As a result of the Reverse Split, as of March 31, 2023, the Company has shares of common stock outstanding and shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Series A Preferred Stock conversion ratio is now one thousand shares of Series A Preferred Stock converts into one share of common stock. Accordingly, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are now convertible into an aggregate of shares of common stock.
On September 7, 2022, the Company acquired all of the membership interests, with common stock, of Jantibody LLC (“Jantibody”), a Nevada limited liability company. Jantibody is focused on the development of novel proprietary immunotherapies targeted towards ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and mesothelioma (see Note 9).
On December 22, 2022, the Company acquired all the membership interests, with common stock, in Scion Solutions, LLC (“Scion”). Scion is a life sciences company that has developed a new technology in regenerative medicine specifically for limb salvage. Their proprietary product SkinDisc (patent pending) is a combination of stem cells and several other molecular components that stimulate tissue regeneration (see Note 9).
Note 2 – Basis of presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, they do not include all information and footnote disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company filed audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, which included all information and notes necessary for such complete presentation in conjunction with its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
8 |
The results of operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are contained in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For further discussion refer to Note 2 – “Basis Of Presentation And Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Note 3 – Liquidity, Going Concern and Sources of Liquidity
The Company incurred net losses of approximately $2,090,000 and $3,892,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has historically incurred losses from operations and expects to continue to generate negative cash flows as it implements its plan around acquiring and developing early-stage companies or their technologies in the areas of therapeutics, medical devices, and diagnostics. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as applicable to a going concern.
The Company had cash on hand of approximately $116,000 as of March 31, 2023 and approximately $4,000, as of May 19, 2023. The Company’s cash is insufficient to fund its operations over the next year and the Company is currently working to obtain additional debt or equity financing to help support short-term working capital needs.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or that the terms and conditions of any future financings will be workable or acceptable to the Company or its shareholders. If the Company is unable to fund its operations from existing cash on hand, operating cash flows, additional borrowings, or raising equity capital, the Company may be forced to cease operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
On February 24, 2023, the Company and certain investors entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “SPA”), whereby the Company sold and issued to the certain investors an aggregate of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) of the Company’s convertible promissory notes (the “Note” or “Notes”), which are convertible into the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”). In connection with the aforementioned Notes, the Company also issued to the investors a warrant to purchase (the “Purchase Warrant”) a certain number of shares of Common Stock, which are equal to 20% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, based on a price of $ per share. These warrants have a term of five (5) years, with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Unless the Company chooses to terminate earlier, the offering and the sale of the Notes shall terminate on the sooner of the sale of the maximum offering amount or April 30, 2023. However, the Company extended this offering to June 30, 2023, per terms of the agreement.
The Notes have a maturity date of the earlier of (i) one year from issuance; or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering. Interest on the Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, and will be calculated on an actual/365-day basis. In the event that the Company moves forward with a qualified offering, as referenced in the SPA, the Holder may convert the unpaid and outstanding principal plus any accrued and unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to a 20% discount to the offering price.
Further, in connection with the SPA, the Company also issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants to certain investors, which are exercisable on or prior to the close of business on the five (5) year anniversary of the initial issue date, to purchase up to a certain amount of shares of Common Stock, with 30,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under these Warrants is $2.00. % of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note purchased by the Holder, pursuant to the SPA between the Holder and the Company, dated February 24, 2023. The Company issued Warrants to purchase an aggregate of
On February 28, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for a total of $150,000 with an accredited investor. The note issued is convertible into common stock at a 65% discount to the lowest trading price in the 20-day period prior to conversion. The note bears interest at 10% and is due one year from issuance. For the first six months, the Company has the right to prepay the note at a premium of between 25% and 40% depending on when it is repaid.
On March 27, 2023, the Company and three related party investors entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “SPA”), whereby, the Company sold and issued to the certain investors, an aggregate of one hundred twenty five thousand dollars ($125,000) of the Company’s convertible promissory notes (the “Note” or “Notes”), which are convertible into the Company’s Common Stock, $par value (“Common Stock”). On April 12, 2023, the Company and an additional investor entered into the SPA, whereby, the Company sold and issued an aggregate of thirty five thousand dollars ($35,000) of the Company’s Notes. In connection with the aforementioned Notes, the Company also issued to the investors a warrant to purchase (the “Purchase Warrant”) a certain number of shares of Common Stock, which are equal to 20% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, based on a price of $2.00 per share. These warrants have a term of five (5) years, with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Unless the Company chooses to terminate earlier, the offering and the sale of the Notes shall terminate on the sooner of the sale of the maximum offering amount or April 30, 2023. However, the Company extended this offering to June 30, 2023, per terms of the agreement.
The March 27, 2023 Notes have a maturity date of the earlier of (i) one year from issuance; or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering. The April 12, 2023 Note has a maturity date 60 days from issuance. Interest on the Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and will be calculated on an actual/365-day basis. In the event that the Company moves forward with a qualified offering, as referenced in the SPA, the Holder may convert the unpaid and outstanding principal plus any accrued and unpaid Interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to a 20% discount to the offering price.
Further, in connection with the SPA, the Company also issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants to certain investors, which are exercisable on or prior to the close of business on the five (5) year anniversary of the initial issue date, to purchase up to a certain amount of shares of Common Stock, with 12,500 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under these Warrants is $2.00. % of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note purchased by the Holder, pursuant to the SPA between the Holder and the Company. The Company issued Warrants to purchase an aggregate of
Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures certain financial instruments and certain financial instruments with related parties at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company elected the fair value option of accounting for certain debt instruments. Under the fair value option, the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis each reporting period with the resulting fair value adjustment recognized as other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of these instruments was as follows:

The estimated fair values reported utilize the Company’s common stock price along with certain Level 3 inputs, as discussed below, in the development of Monte Carlo simulation models. The estimated fair values are subjective and are affected by changes in inputs to the valuation models /analyses, including the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and certain other Level-3 inputs including, assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price, the probability of a Qualified Offering, the estimated price of a Qualified Offering, and credit-risk adjusted discount rates. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair values.

Debt and Other Obligations
Convertible Notes Payable
On April 1, 2021, the Company, entered into a Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement”) with five (5) related party investors (the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement, the Company sold promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,575,000 maturing on June 17, 2022 with an annual interest rate of 8%. The Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a discount of 20% to the price paid for such New Securities in the next round of financing that meets the definition of Qualified Financing as defined in the April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement. The Notes are secured by the assets of the Company under a security agreement with the Holders. The lead investor of the April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement, FWHC Bridge, LLC, advanced $1,500,000 of the total amount to the Company. FWHC Bridge, LLC is an affiliated entity of FWHC, LLC, which is a principal stockholder and related party of the Company. An additional affiliate of FWHC, LLC provided an additional $25,000 as part of the April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement.
On October 14, 2021, the Company entered into the Second Closing Bring Down Agreement (the “October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement”) whereby the five (5) related party investors who had entered into the April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement purchased new notes in the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000. The Notes are due and payable on June 17, 2022 and bear interest at an annual rate of 8%. The Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a discount of 20% to the price paid for such New Securities in the next financing that meets the definition of a Qualified Financing as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement. The Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company under a security agreement with the Holders. The lead investor of the October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement, FWHC Bridge, LLC, advanced $437,000 of the total amount to the Company. FWHC Bridge, LLC is an affiliated entity of FWHC, LLC, which is a principal stockholder and related party of the Company. An additional affiliate of FWHC, LLC provided an additional $7,000 as part of the October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement.
On February 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) which i) provided for an additional round of convertible debt financing (“Tranche 2 Notes”) of up to $500,000 and ii) amended the conversion price on the convertible notes issued April 1, 2021 and October 8, 2021 (“Tranche 1 Notes”) from % of the price paid in a Qualified Financing (proceeds of at least $ million), to the lesser of (x) $0.002 and (y) the price paid in a Qualified Financing (proceeds of at least $10 million). The Amendment Agreement also provides the following Milestone Payments:
1) | $1,000,000 after filing a premarket notification pursuant to Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, of its intent to market its PRP cellular therapy | |
2) | Following the closing of a Qualified Financing, 25% of all proceeds raised in excess of $10 million (not to exceed $1 million) |
The Milestone Payments are not to exceed $2 million, and the Amendment Agreement also specifies that a Qualified Financing will not occur prior to the closing of the acquisition of Jantibody, LLC.
The Company evaluated the Amendment Agreement under ASC 470-50, “Debt – Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that probability of having to pay a Milestone payment was minimal and the change in the fair value of the conversion feature was not material. The Amendment did not cause a material change in cash flows so extinguishment accounting was not applicable.
On April 29, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Note Conversion Agreement (the “Note Conversion Agreement”) with certain holders of its Tranche 1 Notes (i) providing for a conversion price equal to the lesser of (x) $0.002 per share (pre-split) and (y) the price per share paid by the investors in a Qualified Financing for such New Securities purchased for cash and not through conversion of Notes (as such terms are defined in the Note Conversion Agreement), in each case subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization, (ii) automatic conversion upon the occurrence of a Qualified Financing, and (iii) amendment of the maturity date from March 31, 2022 to June 17, 2022 (the “New Notes”). Upon the effective date of the Company’s 1,000-1 reverse split, the conversion price adjusted to the lesser of (a) the price in the Qualified Financing or (b) $2.00 per share. The New Notes also provided the investors with Royalty Payments equal to 15% of all net sales generated by the Company with respect to the sale of products or services associated with the 510(k) Notification related to the Company’s autologous cellular therapy (PRP-PBMC) to treat chronic lung disorder. The Royalty Payments are in lieu of the Milestone Payments but are perpetual and there is no limit to the aggregate amount of Royalty Payments that may be paid.
Due to changes in key provisions of the Tranche 1 Notes, the Company analyzed the before and after cash flows between the (i) fair value of the New Notes and (ii) reacquisition price of the Tranche 1 Notes prior to the (A) change in the maturity date from March 31, 2022 to June 17, 2022, (B) change in the conversion price to the lesser of (x) $2.00 and (y) the price paid in a Qualified Financing, and (C) the fair value of the potential Royalty Payments, to determine whether these changes resulted in a modification or extinguishment of the Tranche 1 Notes.
10 |
The Company used a discounted cash flow method with Monte Carlo Simulation to value the Royalty Payments. Future Royalty Payments were estimated based on management’s best estimate of future cash flows under various scenarios which were discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate of 70%.
Based on the before and after cash flows of each note, the change was considered significantly different. Consequently, the New Notes were accounted for as a debt extinguishment of the Tranche 1 Notes and a new debt issuance of the New Notes. The Company recorded a $2.2 million loss upon extinguishment of debt in the year ended December 31, 2022, which was comprised of the following:
Carrying value of Tranche 1 Notes | $ | 3,580,738 | ||
Less: Fair value of New Notes | (4,079,838 | ) | ||
Less: Fair value of Royalty Payments | (1,697,000 | ) | ||
Loss on Extinguishment | $ | (2,196,100 | ) |
The Note Conversion Agreement also provided for the consummation of a Tranche 2 Financing (the “Tranche 2 Notes”) subject to (i) the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness represented by the Tranche 2 Notes being capped at $500,000 and (ii) Tranche 2 Notes’ being an unsecured obligation of the Company and expressly subordinate in all respects to all indebtedness of the Company under the Notes and including language in which the holders of such Tranche 2 Notes acknowledge, confirm and agree to the foregoing subordination terms. Pursuant to the terms of the Note Conversion Agreement, the Investors have agreed not to sell any capital stock of the Company for a period of 12 months following the Qualified Financing. For the year ended December 31, 2022, approximately $499,000 of amortization of the debt premium is included in interest income. The Company is currently working with the noteholders on the extension of the maturity of the outstanding notes.
On February 24, 2023, the Company and certain investors entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “SPA”), whereby the Company sold and issued to the certain investors an aggregate of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) of the Company’s convertible promissory notes (the “Note” or “Notes”), which are convertible into the Company’s Common Stock, $ par value (“Common Stock”). In connection with the aforementioned Notes, the Company also issued to the investors a warrant to purchase (the “Purchase Warrant”) a certain number of shares of Common Stock, which are equal to % of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, based on a price of $2.00 per share. These warrants have a term of five (5) years, with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Unless the Company chooses to terminate earlier, the offering and the sale of the Notes shall terminate on the sooner of the sale of the maximum offering amount or April 30, 2023. However, the Company extended this offering to June 30, 2023 per terms of the agreement.
The Notes have a maturity date of the earlier of (i) one year from issuance; or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering. Interest on the Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, and will be calculated on an actual/365-day basis. In the event that the Company moves forward with a qualified offering, as referenced in the SPA, the Holder may convert the unpaid and outstanding principal plus any accrued and unpaid Interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to a 20% discount to the offering price.
Further, in connection with the February 2023 SPA, the Company also issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants to certain investors, which are exercisable on or prior to the close of business on the five (5) year anniversary of the initial issue date, to purchase up to a certain amount of shares of Common Stock, with 20% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note purchased by the Holder, pursuant to the SPA between the Holder and the Company, dated February 24, 2023. The Company issued Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 30,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under these Warrants is $2.00.

On April 12, 2023, the Company and an additional investor entered into the SPA, whereby the Company sold and issued thirty five thousand dollars ($35,000) of the Company’s Notes. In connection with the aforementioned Notes, the Company also issued to the investors a warrant to purchase (the “Purchase Warrant”) a certain number of shares of Common Stock, which are equal to % of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, based on a price of $2.00 per share. These warrants have a term of five (5) years, with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Unless the Company chooses to terminate earlier, the offering and the sale of the Notes shall terminate on the sooner of the sale of the maximum offering amount or April 30, 2023. However, the Company extended this offering to June 30, 2023 per terms of the agreement.
The March 27, 2023, Notes have a maturity date of the earlier of (i) one year from issuance; or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering. The April 12, 2023, Note has a maturity date 60 days from issuance. Interest on the Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, and will be calculated on an actual/365-day basis. In the event that the Company moves forward with a qualified offering, as referenced in the SPA, the Holder may convert the unpaid and outstanding principal plus any accrued and unpaid Interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to a 20% discount to the offering price.
Further, in connection with the March 2023 and April 2023 SPA, the Company also issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants to certain investors, which are exercisable on or prior to the close of business on the five (5) year anniversary of the initial issue date, to purchase up to a certain amount of shares of Common Stock, with 20% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note purchased by the Holder, pursuant to the SPA between the Holder and the Company. The Company issued Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,500 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under these Warrants is $2.00.
We evaluated the February 2023, March 2023, and April 2023 SPA in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that they contained a variable share settlement feature tied to the price of a future financing which functions as a redemption option. FASB ASC 825-10-25 allows the Company to elect the fair value option for recording financial instruments when they are initially recognized or if there is an event that requires re-measurement of the instruments at fair value, such as a significant modification of the debt. The Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the Convertible Notes in their entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Management believes the fair value option best reflects the underlying economics of these Convertible Notes.
Because these Convertible Notes are carried in their entirety at fair value, the value of the contingent conversion feature is embodied in that fair value. The Company estimates the fair value based on a probability weighted analysis which considers the present value of the cash flows using a credit risk adjusted rate enhanced by the conversion feature valued using a Monte Carlo model. This method was considered by management to be the most appropriate method of encompassing the credit risk and exercise behavior that a market participant would consider when valuing a hybrid financial instrument. Inputs used to value the Convertible Notes at inception included, (i) present value of future cash flows using a credit risk adjusted rate ranging from 19.0%-20.0%, (ii) remaining term of approximately one year, (iii) volatility ranging from 258%-261%, (iv) closing stock price on the valuation date, and (v) the conversion price based on the estimated price of a Qualified Offering, less a 20% discount, in accordance with the terms of the Note. A Qualified Offering is defined as an offering that results in the Company’s Common Stock being listed on a National Exchange (NASDAQ or the NYSE/AMEX). Changes due to instrument-specific credit risk are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income with all other changes in value being recorded in net income.
At inception, the fair value of the Convertible Notes using the fair value option was $1,878,948, and the fair value of the related Warrants issued was $67,820. Because the fair value of the hybrid instrument was in excess of the proceeds received of $425,000, the Company recorded a day one loss on convertible notes of $1,521,768. On March 31, 2023, the debt instruments were revalued at $1,876,204 resulting in a gain of $2,744.
Other Obligations
During the year ending December 31, 2022, Michael Yurkowsky, CEO, advanced the Company approximately $40,000 as a non-interest-bearing note with no established repayment terms. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately $ in additional advances were made. The balance owed is approximately $53,000 as of March 31, 2023.
Note 6 - Equity Transactions

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had eleven warrant holders exercise an aggregate of 83,579 warrants at $14.00 per share resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $1,170,000 to the Company.
On June 10, 2022, the Company amended (the “Amendment”) its Articles of Incorporation to effectuate a one-for-one thousand reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of its common stock. The Reverse Split was approved by FINRA on June 10, 2022, and effectuated on June 13, 2022. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company also reduced the authorized shares of common stock to . As a result of the Reverse Split, the Company had approximately shares of common stock outstanding and shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022.

The agreement has a minimum term of six months with an average fee of $21,000 per month plus expenses which increases 5% per month on January 1 of each calendar year unless an alternative retainer amount is negotiated and agreed upon by both parties. The Company extended the contract on January 1, 2021, resulting in monthly expenses of $22,500 plus expenses for services rendered. Due to lack of financial resources, the Company has been unable to pay Ms. Rhodes for her services totaling $138,625, which has been accrued as part of accrued liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The Company entered into a consulting agreement with Alpha IR Group on March 1, 2022, to provide investor relations to the Company. The agreement is for twelve months with an average service fee of $9,750 per month which has been accrued in Accounts Payable. The Company paused this service during the three months ending March 31, 2023.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be involved in routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our business. The ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any claims of any type (either alone or in the aggregate) may materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. In addition, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Any outcome, whether favorable or unfavorable, may materially and adversely affect the Company due to legal costs and expenses, diversion of management attention, and other factors. The Company expenses legal costs in the period incurred. The Company cannot assure that additional contingencies of a legal nature or contingencies having legal aspects will not be asserted against the Company in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current or future transactions or events.
The Company is involved in a lawsuit with Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (“Sinclair”) which was filed on September 8, 2020, in the Circuit Court for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Hillsborough County, Florida.

Note 8 – Debt
Notes Payable
Notes payable were assumed in the Merger (for further discussion, see Note 1 - “Overview” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K) and are due in aggregate monthly installments of approximately $5,800 and carry an interest rate of 5%. Each note originally had a maturity date of August 1, 2019. The Company finalized an eighteen-month extension to March 1, 2021. The promissory notes have an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $69,000 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company has not made payments on these notes since February 10, 2020, due to the Company’s lack of working capital. On April 19, 2022, the Company entered into a promissory note modification agreement with the Lender extending the maturity date of the notes to April 1, 2024. The modification agreement also reduces the interest rate from 5% to 3% and requires a monthly payment of $1,000 per month with a balloon payment at the end of the modified term.
On June 9, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for a total of $272,500 with two accredited investors. The notes issued are convertible into common stock at a 65% discount to the lowest trading price in the 20-day period prior to conversion. The notes bear interest at 10% and are due one year from issuance. For the first six months, the Company had the right to prepay the notes at a premium of between 25% and 35% depending on when it is repaid.
The Company also issued a promissory note for $100,000, on June 9, 2022, to another accredited investor. This note bears interest at 15% (no matter when repaid) and converts at a discount of 25% of the price of a public offering or a 25% discount to the Volume Average Weighted Price (“VWAP”) of the five (5) days prior to conversion.
On August 8, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for a total of $65,000 with an accredited investor. The note issued is convertible into common stock at a 65% discount to the lowest trading price in the 20-day period prior to conversion. The note bears interest at 10% and is due one year from issuance. For the first six (6) months, the Company had the right to prepay the notes at a premium of between 25% and 40% depending on when it is repaid.
On February 28, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for a total of $150,000 with an accredited investor. The note issued is convertible into common stock at a 65% discount to the lowest trading price in the 20-day period prior to conversion. The note bears interest at 10% and is due one year from issuance. For the first six months, the Company has the right to prepay the note at a premium of between 25% and 40% depending on when it is repaid.
The embedded features in the June 2022, August 2022, and February 2023 convertible notes were analyzed under ASC 815 to determine if they required bifurcation as derivative instruments. To be a derivative, one of the criteria is that the embedded component must be net-settleable. While the Company’s Common Stock was traded on an exchange at the time of the transaction, the underlying shares are not readily convertible into cash since there is insufficient daily trading volume for the holders to convert the convertible notes into Common Stock without significantly affecting the share price. Accordingly, the embedded derivatives, including the embedded conversion feature, did not meet the definition of a derivative, and therefore, did not require bifurcation from the host instrument. Certain default put provisions, including a default put and default interest, were not considered to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument but the Company concluded that the value of these provisions was de minimus at inception. The Company will reconsider the value of these provisions each reporting period to determine if the value becomes material to the financial statements.
Note 9 – Acquisitions
The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If the screen is not met, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs which would meet the definition of a business. Significant judgment is required in the application of the screen test to determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of assets.
If an acquisition is determined to be a business combination as indicated in ASC 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The Company recognizes and measures goodwill as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.
If an acquisition is determined to be an asset acquisition, the Company accounts for the transaction under ASC 805-50, which requires the cost of the asset acquisition, including transaction costs, to be allocated to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a relative fair value basis. Assets acquired as part of an asset acquisition that are considered to be in-process research and development (IPR&D) are immediately expensed unless there is an alternative future use in other research and development projects. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition and any excess consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to the identifiable assets based on relative fair values (excluding non-qualifying assets). If the cost of the asset acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, no gain is recognized in earnings.
Contingent consideration payments in asset acquisitions are recognized when the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable (unless the contingent consideration meets the definition of a derivative, in which case the amount becomes part of the basis in the asset acquired). Upon recognition of the contingent consideration payment, the amount is included in the cost of the acquired asset or group of assets.
On September 7, 2022, the Company acquired all of the membership interests, with Common Stock, of Jantibody LLC (“Jantibody”), a Nevada limited liability company. Jantibody is focused on the development of novel proprietary immunotherapies targeted towards ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and mesothelioma. Prior to the acquisition, Michael Yurkowsky, CEO, had approximately 17.5% ownership interest in Jantibody.
Pursuant to the Jantibody Agreement, the Company issued the equity holders of Jantibody an aggregate of shares of the Company’s common stock which represented 15% of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis at the time of the transaction. In addition, for every share of the Company’s common stock issued as a result of the future conversion of the Company’s dilutive instruments, including Series A preferred stock, warrants, stock options, and convertible notes, the Jantibody members will receive 15% of the aggregate number of shares issued (the “Anti-Dilution” shares). The Anti-Dilution shares will be issued before the end of each fiscal quarter.
The Company has agreed to issue the Jantibody holders an additional 2.0% of the Company’s common stock then outstanding upon the enrollment of the first patient in a Phase I FDA trial and additional 3.0% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis upon the enrollment of the first patient in a Phase [III] FDA trial. The Company determined the contingent consideration was not subject to derivative accounting and will be recognized when the contingency is resolved, and the consideration is paid or becomes payable as outlined in ASC 450, Contingencies.
The Company determined this transaction represented an asset acquisition as defined by ASC 805, Business Combinations, as substantially all of the value was in a single in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) group, which included the small molecule drug CXCR4 inhibitor, AMD3100, and/or checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) for anti-cancer immune modulation. As a result, the consideration transferred was allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values resulting in approximately $1,240,000 being assigned to the IPR&D asset and approximately $1,000,000 to assumed liabilities. The liabilities assumed were current accounts payable and as such were recorded a book value.

The purchase price of approximately $247,000 represented shares of the Company’s common stock, Anti-Dilution shares, and direct transaction costs of $21,600. The purchase price was allocated, on a relative fair value basis, to the acquired intellectual property, and the acquired net assets as follows:
Consideration: | ||||
Common stock | $ | 29,557 | ||
Common stock (anti-dilution shares, to be issued – included in other current liabilities) | 195,532 | |||
Direct transaction costs | 21,600 | |||
Total costs of the asset acquisition | $ | 246,689 | ||
Assets acquired | ||||
Cash | $ | 469 | ||
Liabilities assumed – legal and administrative costs | (999,728 | ) | ||
Intangible assets: IPR&D | 1,245,948 | |||
Net identifiable assets acquired | $ | 246,689 |
The IPR&D had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use; thus, the purchased IPR&D asset and related costs were expensed immediately subsequent to the acquisition within the consolidated statements of operations.
On December 22, 2022, the Company acquired a 100% interest, with Common Stock, in Scion Solutions, LLC (“Scion”). Scion is a life sciences company that has developed a new technology in regenerative medicine specifically for limb salvage. Their proprietary product SkinDisc (patent pending) is a combination of stem cells and several other molecular components that stimulate tissue regeneration. Prior to the acquisition, Tanya Rhodes, CSO, had approximately 33.3% ownership interest in Scion.
Pursuant to the terms of the Scion Agreement, the Company issued the equity holders of Scion an aggregate of shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, for every share of the Company’s common stock issued within 18-months of the Effective Date of the transaction, as a result of the future conversion of the Company’s dilutive instruments, including Series A preferred stock, warrants, stock options, and convertible notes, the Scion members will receive 20% of the aggregate number of shares issued (the “Anti-Dilution” shares). The Anti-Dilution shares will be issued before the end of each fiscal quarter.
In addition, the former shareholders of Scion are eligible to receive Performance Payments consisting of the following:
Performance Milestone | Performance Payment | |||
Qualified Funding/Uplifting of H-Cyte | $ | 45,000 | ||
1-Year Anniversary of Uplifting of H-Cyte | $ | 75,000 | ||
2-Year Anniversary of Uplifting of H-Cyte | $ | 120,000 | ||
Initiation of SkinDisc Study | $ | 50,000 | ||
Receipt of De Novo or any other approval/clearance that would allow SkinDisc to go to market | $ | 100,000 | ||
Submission for specific and individual reimbursement codes relating to SkinDisc | $ | 25,000 | ||
Receipt of specific and individual reimbursement codes relating to SkinDisc | $ | 50,000 | ||
Completion of SkinDisc Study | $ | 50,000 | ||
Launch of any additional SkinDisc product line extension (e.g., SkinDisc Lite)* | $ | 100,000 | ||
Annual net sales from SkinDisc (including SkinDisc extensions) (2023 and each subsequent calendar year)* | Greater of (i) 4% of net revenues from SkinDisc (including SkinDisc line extensions) during such calendar year and (ii) $50,000 | |||
Cumulative net sales from SkinDisc (including SkinDisc extensions) of $600,000 | $ | 200,000 | ||
Cumulative net sales from SkinDisc (including SkinDisc extension) of $2,000,000 | $ | 150,000 | ||
Cumulative net sales from SkinDisc (including SkinDisc extension) of $4,000,000 | $ | 300,000 | ||
Net sales from SkinDisc (including SkinDisc extensions) of $6,000,000 during any single calendar year* | $ | 300,000 |
Substantially all of the value acquired was concentrated in a single in-process research and development (“IPRD”) asset, which included license rights, clinical trial data, clinical trial development plans, research and development materials, formulations and intellectual property related to SkinDisc. There was no workforce, and no outputs were present. Accordingly, the acquired set of assets and activities did not meet the definition of a business as defined by ASC 805, Business Combinations and was considered an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, the consideration transferred is allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. In the Scion acquisition, the only asset or liability acquired was IPR&D. As a result, the consideration transferred was recorded fully to the IPR&D asset.
In an asset acquisition, cash-settled contingent consideration is measured when probable and estimable, unless the contingent consideration falls under the guidance of ASC 815. The Company determined the contingent consideration was not subject to ASC 815 and thus, the performance payments which were estimable and probable (i.e., more than 50% likely to occur) were recorded on the acquisition date. The fair value was estimated based on a probability weighting of the present value of cash flows over the expected time period until payment, using a credit-risk adjusted interest rate. Each reporting period, the Company will determine if the performance payments are estimable and probable and will record them as a liability at that time.
17 |
The purchase price was allocated, as follows:
Consideration: | ||||
Common stock | $ | 54,070 | ||
Anti-Dilution share liability | 305,998 | |||
Contingent Performance payment liability | 417,850 | |||
Direct transaction costs | 14,338 | |||
Total costs of the asset acquisition | $ | 792,256 |
The common stock value was recorded as equity. The remaining consideration was recorded as IPR&D, since the SkinDisc technology was still in the research and development stage and had no alternative future use. The purchased IPR&D asset of $792,256 was expensed immediately subsequent to the acquisition within our consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2023, totaled approximately $68,000. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
Note 11 - Subsequent Events
On April 12, 2023, the Company and an additional investor entered into the SPA, whereby the Company sold and issued thirty five thousand dollars ($35,000) of the Company’s Notes. In connection with the aforementioned Notes, the Company also issued to the investors a warrant to purchase (the “Purchase Warrant”) a certain number of shares of Common Stock, which are equal to % of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, based on a price of $2.00 per share. These warrants have a term of five (5) years, with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The note has a maturity date 60 days from issuance. Interest on the Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, and will be calculated on an actual/365-day basis. In the event that the Company moves forward with a qualified offering, as referenced in the SPA, the Holder may convert the unpaid and outstanding principal plus any accrued and unpaid Interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to a % discount to the offering price.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Historical results and trends that might appear in this Quarterly Report should not be interpreted as being indicative of future operations.
Overview
H-CYTE, Inc (“the Company”) has evolved from focusing on treating chronic lung conditions after the closure of its lung treatment clinics due to COVID-19. The Company is currently focusing on acquiring and developing early-stage companies or their technologies in the areas of therapeutics, medical devices, and diagnostics. The goal is to develop these companies and incubate their technologies to meaningful clinical inflection points.
On June 3, 2022, the Company closed its clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Company has now closed all of its clinical operations in the autologous infusion therapy business which delivered treatments for patients with chronic respiratory and pulmonary disorders. The Company will continue to pursue Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of the device that was utilized in the treatment provided at the clinics. The Company also has a continued interest in the commercialization of the DenerveX device through a joint venture. The Company has implemented the transition into a biologics and therapeutic device incubator company to bring new technologies to market.
The consolidated results for H-CYTE include the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: H-CYTE Management, LLC, Medovex Corp, Cognitive Health Institute, LLC, and Lung Institute Tampa, LLC and the results include Lung Institute Dallas, LLC (“LI Dallas”), Lung Institute Nashville, LLC (“LI Nashville”), Lung Institute Pittsburgh, LLC (“LI Pittsburgh”), and Lung Institute Scottsdale, LLC (“LI Scottsdale”), as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). Additionally, H-CYTE Management, LLC was the operator and manager of the various Lung Health Institute (LHI) clinics: LI Dallas, LI Nashville, LI Pittsburgh, and LI Scottsdale. The LI Dallas and LI Pittsburgh clinics did not reopen in 2020 after the temporary closure of all LI clinics due to COVID-19. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company decided to close the LI Tampa and LI Nashville clinics. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company closed the LI Scottsdale clinic. All LHI clinics are closed as of March 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company has closed all of the LHI clinics and has moved away from the Infusion Division as part of its future plans. The Company has transformed into a medical biosciences incubator focusing on bringing new biologics and therapeutic device technologies to market for various health conditions.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
The Company bases our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Results of Operations - Three months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
The Company recorded revenue of approximately $0 and $380,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company generated a gross profit totaling approximately $0 and $293,000, respectively. The Company has closed all of the LHI Clinics, which was the Company’s only source of revenue. The Company has transformed itself into a biologics and therapeutic device incubator company to bring new technologies to market.

Operating Expenses
Salaries and Related Costs
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred approximately $165,000 and $347,000 in salaries and related costs, respectively. The decrease in salaries and related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the prior year, is due to the adjustments to the Company’s corporate structure by reducing expenses as part of the transition into a biologics and therapeutic incubator company to bring new technologies to market. As of March 31, 2023, due to lack of financial resources, the Company has incurred $340,000 in unpaid salaries and wages.
Other General and Administrative
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred approximately, $214,000 and $510,000, in other general and administrative costs, respectively. The Company adjusted its corporate structure by reducing expenses as part of the transition into a biologics and therapeutic incubator company to bring new technologies to market.
Other Income/Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred approximately $1,522,000 and $0 in day one loss expense related to the convertible notes payable carried at fair value.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, interest expense was approximately $150,000 and $72,000 respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred approximately $0 and $3,025,000 in inducement expense related to the warrant inducement.
Funding Requirements
The Company has historically incurred losses from operations and expects to continue to generate negative cash flows as the Company implements its business plan to focus on acquiring and developing early-stage companies or their technologies in the areas of therapeutics, medical devices, and diagnostics. The Company will need to raise cash from debt and equity offerings to continue its operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in doing so.
Liquidity, Going Concern, and Sources of Liquidity
The Company incurred net losses of approximately $2,090,000 and $3,892,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has historically incurred losses from operations and expects to continue to generate negative cash flows as it implements the transition into a biologics and therapeutic incubator company to bring new technologies to market. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as applicable to a going concern.
The Company had cash on hand of approximately $116,000 as of March 31, 2023 and approximately $4,000 as of May 19, 2023. The Company’s cash is insufficient to fund its operations over the next year and the Company is currently working to obtain additional debt or equity financing to help support short-term working capital needs.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or that the terms and conditions of any future financings will be workable or acceptable to the Company or its shareholders. If the Company is unable to fund its operations from existing cash on hand, operating cash flows, additional borrowings, or raising equity capital, the Company may be forced to discontinue operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
On February 24, 2023, the Company and certain investors entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “SPA”), whereby the Company sold and issued to the certain investors an aggregate of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) of the Company’s convertible promissory notes (the “Note” or “Notes”), which are convertible into the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”). In connection with the aforementioned Notes, the Company also issued to the investors a warrant to purchase (the “Purchase Warrant”) a certain number of shares of Common Stock, which are equal to 20% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, based on a price of $2.00 per share. These warrants have a term of five (5) years, with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Unless the Company chooses to terminate earlier, the offering and the sale of the Notes shall terminate on the sooner of the sale of the maximum offering amount or April 30, 2023. However, the Company has the option to extend this offering to June 30, 2023.

The Notes have a maturity date of the earlier of (i) one year from issuance; or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering. Interest on the Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and will be calculated on an actual/365-day basis. In the event that the Company moves forward with a qualified offering, as referenced in the SPA, the Holder may convert the unpaid and outstanding principal plus any accrued and unpaid Interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to a 20% discount to the offering price.
Further, in connection with the February 2023 SPA, the Company also issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants to certain investors, which are exercisable on or prior to the close of business on the five (5) year anniversary of the initial issue date, to purchase up to a certain amount of shares of Common Stock, with 20% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note purchased by the Holder, pursuant to the SPA between the Holder and the Company, dated February 24, 2023. The Company issued Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 30,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant is $2.00.
On February 28, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for a total of $150,000 with an accredited investor. The note issued is convertible into common stock at a 65% discount to the lowest trading price in the 20-day period prior to conversion. The note bears interest at 10% and is due one year from issuance. For the first six months, the Company has the right to prepay the note at a premium of between 25% and 40% depending on when it is repaid.

On April 12, 2023, the Company and an additional investor entered into the SPA, whereby, the Company sold and issued an aggregate of thirty five thousand dollars ($35,000) of the Company’s Notes. In connection with the aforementioned Notes, the Company also issued to the investors warrants to purchase (the “Purchase Warrant”) a certain number of shares of Common Stock, which are equal to 20% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, based on a price of $2.00 per share. These warrants have a term of five (5) years, with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Unless the Company chooses to terminate earlier, the offering and the sale of the Notes shall terminate on the sooner of the sale of the maximum offering amount or April 30, 2023. However, the Company has the option to extend this offering to June 30, 2023.
The March 27, 2023 Notes have a maturity date of the earlier of (i) one year from issuance; or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering. The April 12, 2023 Note has a maturity date 60 days from issuance. Interest on the Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, and will be calculated on an actual/365-day basis.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4) during the periods presented, investments in special-purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt. Additionally, we are not a party to any derivative contracts or synthetic leases.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2023. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives, and the Company necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, due to the lack of working capital, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not as effective as desired because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below, and as a result, the Company engaged consultants, implemented a number of new entity and process level controls and installed a new accounting software system to help mitigate this material weakness.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, we determined that internal control deficiencies relating to a lack of segregation of duties and knowledge related to more complex accounting transactions still exist. Management believes these deficiencies mainly relate to the Company employing a limited number of accounting and finance personnel. The aggregation of these deficiencies is considered to be a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
In light of the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2023, we have applied additional procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting in regard to this quarterly report. Accordingly, the Company believes, based on its knowledge, that: (i) this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report; and (ii) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this quarterly report.
