QHSLab, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. The Company
QHSLab, Inc. (f/k/a USA Equities Corp.) (the “Company”, or the “Registrant”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 1, 1983. In 2015, the Company changed its name to USA Equities Corp. On September 23, 2021, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada as a result of a merger with and into its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, USA Equities Corp., a Nevada corporation (“USA Equities Nevada”), the surviving entity pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger. The reincorporation was approved by the stockholders of the Company and USA Equities Nevada is deemed to be the successor to USA Equities Corp, the Delaware corporation. On April 19, 2022, the Company changed its name to QHSLab, Inc.
The Company is a medical device technology and software as a service (“SaaS”) company focused on enabling primary care physicians (“PCP’s”) to increase their revenues by providing them with relevant, value-based tools to evaluate and treat chronic disease as well as provide preventive care through reimbursable procedures.
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 began recognizing revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
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 (“U.S. GAAP”). 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, 2021.
The accounting policies are described in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2021 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. There was no change to the previously reported net loss.
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 condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
8 |
Principles of Consolidation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QHSLab, Inc. 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.
Accounts Receivable: The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers on a regular basis. Management monitors the payments on outstanding balances and will establish a reserve for uncollectible balances as necessary based on experience.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value, on a first-in, first-out, or FIFO, basis. The Company uses actual costs to determine its cost basis for inventories. Inventories consist of only finished goods.
Capitalized Software Development Costs: Software development costs for internal-use software are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“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 will be included in the operating expenses on the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations once amortization begins.
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 totaled $223,390 as of March 31, 2022 and $186,271 as of December 31, 2021. The software application is still in development with costs continuing to be capitalized and no amortization expense being recognized during the periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. There were no impairments recognized during the periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Intangible Assets: Intangible assets represent the value the Company paid to acquire assets including a trademark, patent and web domain on June 23, 2021. The allocation of the purchase price to each of these assets was determined based on ASC 805-50-30, Business Combination, Related Issues, Initial Measurement. These assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350-30, Intangibles, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill. The cost of the assets is amortized over the remaining useful life of the assets as follows:
U.S. Method Patent | 13.4 years |
Web Domain | Indefinite life |
Trademark | Indefinite life |
The estimated useful lives and carrying value of the assets are reviewed at least annually or whenever events or circumstances may result in an impact to the value of the assets.
9 |
Convertible Notes Payable: The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. ASC 470-20 addresses classification determination for specific obligations, such as short-term obligations expected to be refinanced on a long-term basis, due-on-demand loan arrangements, callable debt, sales of future revenue, increasing rate debt, debt that includes covenants, revolving credit agreements subject to lock-box arrangements and subjective acceleration clauses. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.
Revenue Recognition: Pursuant to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for those goods. The Company does not allow for the return of products and therefore does not establish an allowance for returns.
To determine the revenue to be recognized for transactions that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company follows the established five-step framework as follows:
(i) | identify the contract(s) with a customer; | |
(ii) | identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); | |
(iii) | determine the transaction price; | |
(iv) | allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and | |
(v) | recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company sells allergy diagnostic-related products and immunotherapy treatments to physicians. Revenue is recognized once the Company satisfies its performance obligation which occurs at the point in time when title and possession of products have transitioned to the customer, typically upon delivery of the products.
The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in revenue.
There are several practical expedients and exemptions allowed under ASC 606 that impact timing of revenue recognition and disclosures. The Company elected to treat similar contracts as a portfolio of contracts, as allowed under ASC 606. The contracts that fall within the portfolio have the same terms and management has the expectation that the result will not be materially different from the consideration of each individual contract.
Research and Development: Research and development expense is primarily related to developing and improving methods related to the Company’s Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. Research and development expenses are expensed when incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were $28,979 and $28,021 of research and development expenses incurred, respectively.
10 |
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 $2,709,199 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. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of NOL and tax credit carry-forwards before full utilization.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounts Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“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), or ASU 2020-06. The updated guidance is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as single liability instruments with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exception. In addition, ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-06 using a modified retrospective approach, which resulted in no cumulative effect adjustment to stockholders’ deficit as of January 1, 2021.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have a current and/or future impact on or are unrelated to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Capitalized software represents the development costs for internal-use software. The software application is still in development with costs continuing to be capitalized and no amortization expense being recognized yet. Capitalization will cease and amortization will begin once development is substantially complete. The Capitalized software costs will be amortized over the estimated life of the software. There were no impairments recognized during the periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The intangible assets represent the value the Company paid to acquire the trademark “AllergiEnd”, the web domain “AllergiEnd.com” along with the U.S. Method Patent registration relating to the allergy testing kit and related materials the Company distributes to physician clients. The Company acquired the intangible assets from MedScience Research Group as of June 23, 2021 for total consideration of $1,612,500 which was financed through a combination of restricted stock and a promissory note. The allocation of the purchase price to each of these assets was determined based on ASC 805-50-30, Business Combination, Related Issues, Initial Measurement.

Note 1 – Effective December 23, 2020, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $25,000 to a shareholder (Note 1). This Note was issued under a subscription agreement dated September 25, 2020. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, this note had $0 and $2,555, respectively, of accrued interest. On February 23, 2022 the shareholder elected to convert the outstanding principal of $25,000 along with accrued interest into 59,415 shares of common stock at a price of $0.47 per share. Additionally, the shareholder received warrants exercisable for two years to purchase 14,854 common shares at $0.705 per share.
Note 2 – Effective May 7, 2021, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $to a shareholder (Note 2). The Note bears interest at the rate of % per annum and matures on (the “Maturity Date”) at which date all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest are due and payable. . As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, this note had $and $, respectively, of accrued interest.
Note 3 – Effective August 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which it issued to the investor an Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $806,000 and warrants to purchase 930,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $750,000. In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investor.
The principal amount of the Note and all interest accrued thereon is payable on August 10, 2022, and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Note provides for interest at the rate of 5% per annum, payable at maturity, and is convertible into common stock at a price of $0.65 per share. In addition to customary anti-dilution adjustments upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, the Note provides, subject to certain limited exceptions, that if we issue any common stock or common stock equivalents, as defined in the Note, at a per share price lower than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price will be reduced to the per share price at which such stock or common stock equivalents were sold. The conversion price of the Note had been subject to a potential decrease if the average closing price of the Company’s common stock during any ten consecutive trading days beginning September 16, 2021, and ending on November 15, 2021, was below $0.65. As the trading price of the common stock has not been below $0.65 since September 21, 2021, this provision is no longer operative.
On November 11, 2021, Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund, LLC, converted $50,000 of the principal amount of the $806,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Note issued August 10, 2021, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.65 per share.
The 930,000 Warrants are initially exercisable for a period of three years at a price of $1.25 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments upon the occurrence of certain corporate events as set forth in the Warrant. The shares issuable upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrants are to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for resale by the investor as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Warrants may be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise” if at any time the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are not covered by an effective registration statement.
13 |
The Company accounts for the allocation of its issuance costs to its Warrants in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Under this guidance, if debt or stock is issued with detachable warrants, the proceeds need to be allocated to the two instruments using either the fair value method, the relative fair value method, or the residual value method. The Company used the relative fair value at the time of issuance to allocate the value received between the convertible note and the warrants.
The Company estimated the fair value of the Warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model, which is dependent upon several assumptions such as the expected term of the Warrants, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected term and expected dividend yield rate over the expected term. The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of warrants. The value allocated to the relative fair value of the Warrants was recorded as debt issuance costs and additional paid in capital.
The principal, net of the original issue discount and debt issuance costs, including the allocated relative fair value of the Warrants, which are being recognized over the life of the Note, along with associated interest, is recorded with current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022, this Note had $24,767 of accrued interest, total unamortized debt issuance costs of $121,794, including the Warrant value, and the remaining discount of $20,252. As of December 31, 2021, this note had $15,446 of accrued interest, total unamortized debt issuance costs of $204,835, including the Warrant value, and the remaining discount of $34,060.
Note 7. Preferred Stock
Series A Preferred Stock
The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have a stated value of $0.05 per share (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events). The Series A Preferred Stock does not accrue dividends and ranks prior to the common stock upon a liquidation of the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock votes on all matters brought before the shareholders together with the Common stock as a single class and each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a number of votes, initially 5, equal to the number of shares of preferred stock into which it is convertible as of the record date for any vote. per share and are initially convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $
Series A-2 Preferred Stock
On December 30, 2021, the Company issued of the Company’s Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares to its principal shareholder in satisfaction of multiple outstanding convertible promissory notes with initial principal amounts totaling $together with all interest accrued thereon.
The rights of holders of the Company’s common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and upon liquidation are junior in right of payment to holders of the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares. The rights of the holders of the Company’s Series A-2 Preferred Shares are pari passu to the rights of the holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares currently outstanding.
Holders of the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock will vote on an as converted basis with the holders of the Company’s common stock and Series A Preferred Shares as to all matters to be voted on by the holders of the common stock. Each Series A-2 Preferred Share shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to five times the number of shares of common stock into which it is then convertible on the applicable record date.

The Company calculates net loss per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic and diluted net loss per common share was determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive shares, which include shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding common stock options, common stock warrants, and convertible debt have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 as the result would be anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
We are a medical device technology and software as a service (SaaS) company focused on enabling primary care physicians (PCP’s) to increase their revenues by providing them with relevant, value-based tools to evaluate and treat chronic disease as well as provide preventive care through reimbursable procedures. In some cases, the products we provide our physician clients will enable them to diagnose and treat patients with chronic diseases which they historically have referred to specialists, allowing them to increase their practice revenue. As part of our mission, we are providing PCP’s with the software, training and devices necessary to allow them to treat their patients using value-based healthcare, informatics and algorithmic personalized medicine, including digital therapeutics. Our virtual and point of care solutions also support remote patient monitoring, to address chronic care and preventive medicine and are reimbursable to the medical practice.
In November 2020, we began shipping AllergiEnd® diagnostic related products and immunotherapy treatments to PCPs in response to their requests based upon courses of treatment recommended for their patients building on the capabilities of QHSLab, our primary SaaS tool. The Company’s revenue generated from sales of AllergiEnd® products was $355,330 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $304,336 for the same period 2021. Our PCPs generated approximately $5,000,000 in revenues utilizing our products during 2021, of which $3.8 million was the result of providing allergy diagnostic tests to patients and approximately $1.2 million was the result of providing allergen immunotherapy treatments.
In June 2021, we acquired the method patent, trademark and website associated with AllergiEnd®’s diagnostic and allergen immunotherapy product portfolio from MedScience Research Group, Inc. The acquisition of the AllergiEnd® assets provides us the opportunity to more fully integrate and leverage the product portfolio across our marketing platform, customer relationships and cost structure.
Based on the success of PCPs using our QHSLab allergy diagnostics combined with the products acquired from MedScience, we intend to increase our revenues by charging physicians a monthly subscription fee for the use of QHSLab and soliciting additional PCPs to increase their revenues by using our proven revenue generating QHSLab and AllergiEnd® line of products. We also plan to introduce additional point of care diagnostics and treatments, and digital medicine programs that PCPs can use and prescribe in their practices. In all cases, PCPs will be paid under existing government and private insurance programs, based upon analyses conducted utilizing QHSLab and treatments provided as a result of such analyses.
In addition to the direct sales and marketing efforts of our personnel, we engaged the University of Miami to launch and promote various continuing medical education activities to our target physician client audiences during 2021, and intend to replicate these programs during 2022. The Company has also engaged with Management Service Organizations (MSO), Independent Physician Associations (IPA’s) and Digital Marketing collaborations for joint marketing efforts and distribution. There are no assurances that these relationships will accelerate growth.
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 economic conditions in the United States and throughout the world. 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 the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on our liquidity, capital resources and operations.
COVID-19 has accelerated both the healthcare provider and patient acceptance of virtual care technologies. Many patients are now open to telemedicine, which is excellent, but it’s not the complete solution, as it still requires a physician’s direct involvement. Regulators and insurance companies recognize what health care technologists have been saying for nearly 15 years, which is that most chronic conditions are better managed with more frequent and short encounters than infrequent visits. Health insurers are beginning to recognize that AI enabled digital medicine technologies such as those provided through QHSLab can provide the necessary encounters to foster patient compliance in between visits to a physician.
Our ability to operate profitably is determined by our ability to generate revenues from the licensing of our QHSLab and the sale of diagnostic related products and treatment protocols and the provision of services through our QHSLab. Currently, we are generating revenues from the sale of AllergiEnd® diagnostic related products and immunotherapy treatments. Our ability to generate a profit from these sales is determined by our ability to increase the number of physicians using these products. We will continue to upgrade QHSLab in an effort to increase the number of products sold based upon the services it can provide and before which we are able to charge a fee for its use.
While our revenues are largely determined by the volume of product delivered and the prices at which such products are sold, our costs are determined by a number of factors. The principal factors impacting our costs are the cost of improvements to QHSLab, the costs of products sold to PCPs, marketing expenses to recruit new PCPs and introduce new products and financing costs. As our business grows, these costs should be spread over a wider base of PCPs leading to a reduction in costs per sale and, helping to increase our gross margin.

Results of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021
Revenues
During the fourth quarter of 2020 we began to sell AllergiEnd® Allergy Diagnostics and Allergen Immunotherapy treatments to physicians. These sales have continued to grow and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, we generated revenues of $355,330 compared to $304,336 in the comparable period of 2021. The revenue increase for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by sales of Allergy Diagnostic Kits of $203,594, an increase of $16,187 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. Immunotherapy Treatment services increased $34,153 to $142,006 during the same periods. The Company continues to expand its roll-out of its product lines increasing its customer base.
Our revenues consisted of the following:

Shipping and handling | 9,730 | 9,076 | ||||||
Total revenue | $ | 355,330 | $ | 304,336 |
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Cost of revenues consists of the cost of the AllergiEnd® test kits and allergen immunotherapy pharmacy prepared treatment sets, shipping costs to our customers as well as labor expenses directly related to product sales.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, cost of revenues was $166,642 and $170,757, respectively.
The Company generated a gross profit of $188,688 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $133,579 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gross margin increased from 43.9% gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 53.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to the larger base of sales as well as changes in the product mix.
We are introducing new products at an early stage in our development cycle and the margins earned may vary significantly between periods, customers and products due to the learning process, customer negotiating strengths, and product mix.
Sales and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs associated with selling and marketing our products to PCP’s, principally ongoing sales efforts to recruit new PCP’s and maintain our relationships with PCP’s already using our software and products. These expenses include employee compensation and costs of consultants. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, selling and marketing expenses totaled $113,294 compared to $111,688 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
We expect our selling and marketing expenses to increase as we seek to build our customer base and launch additional products. Nevertheless, if we are successful in onboarding a sufficient number of PCP’s and maintaining our relationships with these PCP’s once they begin to distribute our products, selling and marketing expenses could decrease as a percentage of revenues, though we may increase our marketing efforts as funds become available.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with operating a business including accounting, legal and management consulting fees.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, general and administrative expenses totaled $89,514, an increase of $19,387, compared to $70,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased fees for investor relations and accounting-related services. Additionally, the Company incurred higher expenses associated with processing payments on sales.
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) includes expenses incurred in connection with the research and development of our medical device technology solution, including software development. R&D costs are expensed as they are incurred.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, R&D expenses totaled $28,979 which is a slight increase of $958 compared to $28,021 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to costs associated with R&D contractors.
We expect that our R&D expenses will increase as we invest in and expand our operations and further develop new products and services as part of the Company’s growth strategy.
Other Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, interest expense increased by $116,728 to $127,157 from $10,429 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was due to higher debt balances, primarily related to the purchase of certain assets related to our AllergiEnd® products, at March 31, 2022 compared to March 31, 2021. Interest expense during the first quarter of 2022 included interest on the outstanding debt as well as the amortization of debt issuance costs including legal fees and warrants issued in connection with the note issued to purchase certain assets related to our AllergiEnd® products. The amortization of those costs totaled $83,041, or 65% of the interest expense during the quarter. Interest expense during the first quarter of 2021 was all related to interest on outstanding debt balances, primarily outstanding convertible notes payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. On March 31, 2022, we had current assets totaling $396,691, including $155,557 of cash, $96,093 of accounts receivable, $73,153 of inventory, and $71,888 related to prepaid expenses and other current assets. At such date we had total current liabilities of $1,035,566 consisting of $33,045 in accounts payable, $46,328 in other current liabilities and $956,193 representing the current portions of outstanding loans and convertible notes. Our long-term liabilities balance of $466,820 consisted of convertible notes totaling $100,000 and $357,834 associated with the long-term portion of loans payable, and accrued interest expenses of $8,986.
On December 31, 2021, we had current assets totaling $445,782, including $286,855 of cash, $70,474 of accounts receivable, $65,740 of inventory, and $22,713 related to prepaid expenses and other current assets. At such date we had total current liabilities of $874,954 consisting of $20,370 in accounts payable, $58,615 in other current liabilities and $795,969 representing the current portions of outstanding loans and convertible notes payable. Our long-term liabilities balance of $509,477 consisted of convertible notes totaling $100,000 and $402,956 associated with the long-term portion of loans payable, and accrued interest expenses of $6,521.
During the third quarter of 2021, we issued a promissory note of $750,000 in connection with our acquisition of certain assets related to our AllergiEnd® products and an Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $806,000 (the “OID Note”) along with warrants to purchase 930,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”) for aggregate consideration of $750,000. The acquisition of the assets related to our AllergiEnd® products should enable us to increase our margins on the sale of these products enabling us to satisfy the $750,000 Note. The net proceeds of the OID Note primarily have been used to increase our sales and marketing efforts.
The changes in accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable primarily relate to sales of AllergiEnd® Products.
We used cash of $137,431 and $32,892 in operations during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We began to generate revenues in the fourth quarter of 2020. Nevertheless, we continued to generate negative cash flows which were financed primarily through our entry into a factoring agreement for our receivables, a loan from our credit card processor and other borrowings as we had done previously. As a result, we owed increased amounts to third parties discussed below.
Our convertible notes payable were reduced during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 as one note totaling $27,925 inclusive of accrued interest, was converted into 59,415 shares of our common stock and 14,854 warrants.
Although we are now generating revenues from the sale of our AllergiEnd® products we are likely to continue to require funds to support our operations and expand our marketing efforts for the immediate future. If our business continues to grow, we will seek to satisfy our cash needs by issuances of our equity securities or debt. In the past, we have had to rely on our principal shareholder to support our operations. More recently, we have borrowed money from third parties. If we are unable to obtain the funds we need from third parties, there is no assurance that any of our related parties will continue to provide such capital as may be necessary to continue our business or, if such funds are provided, that the agreed upon terms of any advance will be favorable to us.
The principal amount of the OID Note and all interest accrued thereon is payable on August 10, 2022, and is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets. The OID Note provides for interest at the rate of 5% per annum, payable at maturity, and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $0.65 per share. In addition to customary anti-dilution adjustments the OID Note provides, subject to certain limited exceptions, that if we issue common stock or common stock equivalents at a per share price lower than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price will be reduced to the per share price at which such shares or common share equivalents are sold. The holder converted $50,000 of the principal amount into 76,923 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.65 per share. We have begun preliminary discussion with the holder of the OID Note regarding the need to extend the due date of the OID Note. There is no assurance we will come to an accommodation with the holder of the OID Note or refinance the OID Note by issuing debt or equity to a third party on terms that will be favorable to us. If we are unable to come to an agreement with the holder or refinance the OID Note with a third party, and the holder were to seek to exercise its rights under the Note, it could have a material adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
The Warrants are exercisable for a period of three years at a price of $1.25 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The shares issuable upon conversion of the OID Note and exercise of the Warrants have been registered under the Securities Act for resale by the Buyer.

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. We had an accumulated deficit of $2,709,199 at March 31, 2022, generated net losses of $190,304 and $770,176 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, and used cash of $137,431 and $354,738 in operations in these periods. Although we began to generate revenue during the fourth quarter of 2020, we anticipate that we will continue to generate negative cash flow for the immediate future. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary equity or debt financing and ultimately from generating revenues and positive cash flow 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, further issuances of securities and borrowings, and that we will remain highly leveraged as we seek to expand our business. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business, as we incur marketing expenses and the cost of building an inventory. 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 entered into a Receivables Purchase and Security Agreement providing us with up to $150,000 against certain accounts receivable but have no other lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed our operations through the proceeds from private placements of equity and debt instruments and advances from our principal shareholder. 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 by raising additional capital or, when available, borrowing additional funds. 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.
Our ability to obtain funds through the issuance of debt or equity is dependent upon the state of the financial markets at such time as we may seek to raise funds. The state of the capital market markets may be adversely impacted by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to future and current impacts of global events such as COVID-19 and the war in the Ukraine, increases in inflation and other risks detailed in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10K.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not required.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer conducted an evaluation regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon the evaluation of these controls and procedures as provided under the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Management has identified corrective actions for the weakness and will periodically reevaluate the need to add personnel and implement improved review procedures as they can be supported by the growth in our business.
Changes in internal controls.
During the quarterly period covered by this report, no changes occurred in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
