Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. The Company
USA Equities Corp. (the “Company”, “We” or the “Registrant”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 1, 1983. In 2015 the Company changed its name to USA Equities Corp.
On December 20, 2019 the Company entered into and consummated a share exchange with the former stockholders of Medical Practice Income, Inc. (“MPI”) pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by which the Company issued 2,172,600 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value (the “common stock”) to the former stockholders of MPI in exchange for all of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock of MPI (the “Share Exchange”). MPI, based in West Palm Beach, Florida, is focused on value-based healthcare, informatics and algorithmic personalized medicine including digital therapeutics, behavior based remote patient monitoring, chronic care and preventive medicine.
Prior to the transaction with MPI, the owner of a majority of the outstanding Class A voting shares of MPI, owned approximately 91% of our then outstanding shares. Consequently, the transaction with MPI was accounted for as a change in reporting entity between entities under common control, whereby a change in reporting entity requires retrospective combination of the entities for all periods as if the combination had been in effect since inception of common control in accordance with ASC 250-10-45-21. As a result of the Share Exchange, MPI became our wholly-owned-subsidiary.
Note 2. Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, has negative operational cash flows and has no revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company’s business is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flows and, pending such achievement, future issuances of equity or other financings to fund ongoing operations. However, access to such funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern arise from this uncertainty.
Note 3. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The accounting policies are described in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The year-end balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.
Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect the Company’s operations and those of third parties on which the Company relies. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact the Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and the Company does not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on its business, financing or global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources and operations.

Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of USA Equities Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries USAQ Corporation, Inc., and Medical Practice Income, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers those short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
Capitalized Software Development Costs: Software development costs for internal-use software are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. Development costs that are incurred during the application development stage begin to be capitalized when two criteria are met: (i) the preliminary project stage is completed and (ii) it is probable that the software will be completed and used for its intended function. Capitalization ceases once the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage of software development and post-implementation operating stages are expensed as incurred. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the remaining economic life of the software (typically three to five years) and is included in the operating expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The estimated useful lives of software are reviewed at least annually and will be tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of the assets.
Capitalized software development costs for internal-use software, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $16,000 and $0 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Amortization expense on all capitalized software development cost was $0 in the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. There were no impairments recognized during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Revenue Recognition: The Company is in the development stage and has yet to realize revenues from operations.
Research and Development: Research and development expense is primarily related to developing and improving methods related to the Company’s Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) platform. Research and development expenses are expensed when incurred. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there were $68,065 and $72,722 of research and development expenses incurred, respectively.
Earnings Per Common Share: Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of options to purchase common stock (only if those options are exercisable and at prices below the average share price for the period) and shares issuable upon the conversion of issued and outstanding preferred stock. Due to the net losses reported, dilutive common equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented. There were no common equivalent shares required to be added to the basic weighted average shares outstanding to arrive at diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current year and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards. Measurement of deferred income tax is based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized.
The Company has net operating losses of $1,655,048 which begin to expire in 2027. Future utilization of currently generated federal and state NOL and tax credit carry forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of NOL and tax credit carry-forwards before full utilization.
Impact of recently issued accounting standards
There were no new accounting pronouncements that had a significant impact on the Company’s operating results or financial position.

Additionally, during the same period there was $65,458 of expense associated with shares issued for services, $22,531 of which is included in Marketing, $7,083 in General and administrative with the balance of $35,844 in Research and development. There was no stock-based compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 there were 650,000 options granted to certain scientific and business advisors (“Advisors”) with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.40. The options vest in equal annual installments over three years beginning in July 2020 and expire five years after grant date. There were no options exercised, forfeited or cancelled during the period. There were no options outstanding as of December 31, 2019.
As of September 30, 2020, there was $20,689 of unrecognized compensation related to the 650,000 of unvested options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 21 months. The options are being expensed over the vesting period for each Advisor. The weighted-average grant date fair value for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.04.
The fair value of all options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used:
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.51 | % | ||
Expected life of the options | 3.5 years | |||
Expected volatility of the underlying stock | 70.7 | % | ||
Expected dividend rate | 0 | % |
The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant for instruments with a remaining term similar to the expected term of the options. The expected life of the options is based on the option term. Due to the Company’s limited historical data, the expected volatility is calculated based upon the historical volatility of comparable companies whose share prices are publicly available for a sufficient period of time. The dividend rate is based on the Company never paying or having the intent to pay any cash dividends.
On April 22, 2020, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (“Agreement 1”) with a Management Consultant, pursuant to which the Management Consultant will provide business, intellectual property and Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulatory consulting services to the Company for consideration of a onetime stock payment of 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Share Payment”). The term of Agreement 1 is twelve months and the value of the shares is being expensed over the term.
On May 22, 2020, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (“Agreement 2”) with a Software Development Consultant, pursuant to which the Software Development Consultant will provide software development consulting services to the Company for consideration of a onetime stock payment of 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Share Payment”). The term of Agreement 2 is twelve months and the value of the shares is being expensed over the term.

The term of Agreement 4 is twelve months and the value of the shares is being expensed over the term.

Overview
On December 20, 2019 we consummated a share exchange with the former stockholders of Medical Practice Income, Inc. (“MPI”) pursuant which we issued 2,172,600 shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock of MPI. As a result of this transaction, we are now focused on value-based healthcare, informatics and algorithmic personalized medicine including digital therapeutics, behavior based remote patient monitoring, chronic care and preventive medicine.
Prior to the transaction of MPI, Troy Grogan, the owner of a majority of the outstanding Class A voting shares of MPI, owned approximately 91% of our then outstanding shares. Consequently, the transaction with MPI was accounted for as a change in reporting entity between entities under common control, whereby a change in reporting entity requires retrospective combination of the entities for all periods as if the combination had been in effect since inception of common control in accordance with ASC 250-10-45-21. Except where the context requires otherwise, references herein to “we”, “us”, “our” and the “Company” are reference to USA Equities, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, inclusive of MPI.
On October 23, 2020, we entered into an exclusive distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) whereby MedScience Research Group, Inc. (“MedScience”), granted us an exclusive right to distribute its allergy diagnostic and allergen immunotherapy systems named AllergiEnd® and related components (the “Products”) for sale to non-allergy specialist physicians. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, MedScience is responsible for providing all branding, logos, and marketing materials to be utilized in connection with our marketing efforts. We will process all sales made to Physicians and intend to maintain inventory levels sufficient to meet our customers’ demands, and will be responsible for delivering all Products sold to Physicians.
The Agreement has a term of ten years and automatically renews for successive five-year terms, unless either party provides the other party with notice of its intention not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Either party is entitled to terminate the Agreement at any time in the event of material breach by the other party that remains uncured after thirty (30) calendar days following written notice or upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy event related to the other party. The Agreement requires the Company to meet annual minimum purchase requirements and MedScience may terminate the Agreement if the Company fails to satisfy the minimum purchase threshold for any year.
The first point of contact for most allergy patients is their primary care doctor or pediatrician. There are approximately 60 million Americans affected by allergic disorders, yet there are fewer than 3,000 practicing Board Certified Allergists and approximately 2,400 Board Certified Otolaryngologists specializing in allergy or approximately 1 specialist for every 11,000 allergy sufferers. It is estimated that the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) allergists/immunologists will decline about 7 percent in coming years. Meanwhile, demand for the services these physicians provide is projected to increase by 35 percent over the foreseeable future.
Only a limited number of primary care physicians have sufficient training to diagnose and treat allergy-suffering patients in their offices. The primary care provider is managing many forms of chronic diseases today that in the past were in the specialist domain, while allergies have remained the exception. We believe there is a need to equip primary care physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurses with the ability to diagnose and treat allergy sufferers and that this need provides the strong economic opportunity for the Company.
The AllergiEnd® system we will distribute enables the non-allergist primary care provider with means to test patients for a broad spectrum of allergens within the confines of his office, thereby enabling the physician to identify the specific cause of the patient’s allergies which can lead to targeted allergen immunotherapy treatment as opposed to merely masking symptoms with various anti-histamines. The product line consists primarily of a disposable, one-time use set of asymmetric test applicators and a unique test tray for use with the test applicators.
As part of our service we will provide our physician clients and their staff with the know-how and training in allergy screening and allergen immunotherapy to enable the physician to desensitize positive allergic patients, thereby treating the cause of the allergies, not merely the symptoms. AllergiEnd® allergen immunotherapy are pharmacy compounded preparations prescribed by the treating physicians from MedScience’s contract pharmacy provider that slowly expose the patient to small doses of the allergen culprit, either via subcutaneous injections in the doctor’s office or the convenient at home sublingual (under the tongue) oral drops. This approach is similar, if not identical, to that used by allergists the world over for many years. This builds the body’s immune system to the allergens, thereby overcoming the patient’s excessive reaction to allergens that were previously causing their allergy symptoms. In addition to enhancing the level of care the doctor can provide his patient; the testing and allergen immunotherapy are reimbursable under established CPT codes thereby enhancing the physician’s practice and, in many instances, also providing a new cash pay alternative for physicians and their patients.
Recent Market Conditions
During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the United States, with accelerated effects in February and March, as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the United States economy.
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and we do not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on our business, financing or global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on our liquidity, capital resources and operations.

Results of Operations during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019
We have not generated any revenues during the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. We have operating expenses consisting of research and development, marketing and general and administrative expenses related to being a public company as well as interest expenses. We incurred $93,448 in net loss due to expenses consisting of general and administrative expenses of $37,424, research and development of $20,153, marketing of $29,021 and interest expenses of $6,850 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $37,679 in net loss due to expenses consisting of general and administrative expenses of $7,010, research and development of $27,785 and interest expenses of $2,884 during the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Results of Operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019
We have not generated any revenues during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. We have operating expenses related to research and development, marketing and general and administrative expenses being a public company and interest expenses. We incurred $233,717 in net loss due to expenses consisting of general and administrative expenses of $75,602, research and development of $68,065, marketing of $48,871, loss on extinguishment of debt of $21,299 and interest expenses of $19,880 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to a net loss of $101,567 due to expenses consisting of general and administrative expenses of $20,382, research and development of $72,722 and interest expenses of $8,463 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 30, 2020, we had $49,802 of total assets consisting of $26,678 of cash, $7,124 related to the prepayment of service contracts and $16,000 associated with the capitalization of software development costs. We had total current liabilities of $86,446 consisting of $28,945 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $2,501 in advances from and accruals due to related party and $55,000 in a convertible note payable. The long-term liabilities balance of $557,245 consisted of five convertible notes totaling $429,704 along with the associated accrued interest of $106,242 and premium of $21,299. As of September 30, 2020, we had total liabilities of $643,691.
On December 31, 2019, we had $26,340 of total assets consisting of $23,590 of cash and $2,750 being the balance of the prepayment of annual services contracts. We had total current liabilities of $20,942 consisting entirely of accounts payable and accrued expenses. The long-term liabilities balance of $435,189 consisted of four convertible notes totaling $341,688 along with the associated accrued interest of $93,501. As of December 31, 2019, we had $456,131 in total liabilities.
We financed our negative cash flows from operations during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, primarily through related party borrowings.
In order to fund our efforts to market our QHSLab and other automated cloud-based SaMD systems we may develop or acquire, as well as to commence marketing of the allergy diagnostic and allergen immunotherapy systems of Medscience we will likely need to seek to raise funds from the sale of restricted stock or debt securities. We cannot predict whether equity or debt financing will become available at terms acceptable to us, if at all. The sale of our equity securities or debt instruments convertible into our equity, will likely dilute the interests of current holders of our common stock.
14 |
Our limited resources may make it difficult to borrow funds or raise capital. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest, including debt of an acquired business.
On September 25, 2020, we entered into Subscription Agreements with several accredited investors whereby we agreed to sell up to $500,000 of our unsecured convertible promissory notes. To date, we have received proceeds of $155,000 pursuant to such agreements, in consideration of which we issued $155,000 principal amount of convertible promissory notes; of which $55,000 was received on September 25th and $100,000 was received on October 27th. There is no assurance that the prospective investors will elect to remit to us the remaining $345,000 in consideration of additional convertible promissory notes.
Plan of Operation and Funding
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,660,715, and a working capital deficit of $52,644 at September 30, 2020. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary equity or debt financing and ultimately from generating revenues from its newly acquired subsidiary to continue operations. The condensed 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.
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business, including with the launch of the allergy testing products to be distributed pursuant to our Agreement with MedScience. Existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business and (ii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities, and debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.
