Item 1. Business

 

Background

 

Description of Business

 

Qualis Innovations, Inc. (the “Company” or “Qualis”), formerly known as Hoopsoft Development Corp., Yellowstone Mining, Inc. and Sky Digital Holding Corp. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 23, 2006 under the name Hoopsoft Development Corp (“Hoopsoft”). On January 12, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (“Agreement and Plan of Merger”) with Yellowcake Mining, Inc. (“Yellowcake”), a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hoopsoft Development Corp., incorporated for the sole purpose of effecting the merger. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Yellowcake merged with and into Hoopsoft, with Hoopsoft carrying on as the surviving corporation under the name “Yellowcake Mining, Inc.”

 

On April 6, 2011, Yellowcake restated its articles of incorporation and changed its name to Sky Digital Stores Corp (“SKYC”). On May 5, 2011, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among SKYC and Hong Kong First Digital Holding Ltd. (“First Digital”), and the shareholders of First Digital (the “FDH Shareholders”) entered into a Share “FDH”), and the shareholders of FDH (the “FDH Shareholders”). The closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) took place on May 5, 2011 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of FDH from the FDH Shareholders; and FDH Shareholders transferred and contributed all of their Shares to us. In exchange, the Company issued to the FDH Shareholders, their designees or assigns, an aggregate of 23,716,035 shares (the “Shares Component”) or 97.56% of the shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding after the Closing (the “Share Exchange”), at $0.20 per share.

 

Mr. Lin Xiangfeng planned, organized and executed the Share Exchange. Prior to the Share Exchange, Mr. Lin Xiangfeng was the largest shareholder and sole officer of FDH. He was also the CEO of SKYC but did not own any shares of the Company. The parties involved in the Share Exchange Agreement are SKYC, FDH and all FDH Shareholders. Mr. Lin Jinshui, an FDH Shareholder, is the father of Mr. Lin Xiangfeng and Mr. Lin Xiuzi, an FDH Shareholder, is the brother of Mr. Lin Xiangfeng. Other than Mr. Lin Xiangfeng, no third party played a substantial role in the agreement.

 

FDH owned (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Shenzhen Dong Sen Mobile Communication Technology Co., Ltd (also known and doing business as Shenzhen Donxon Mobile Communication Technology Co., Ltd, “Donxon”), a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”); and (ii) 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Shenzhen Xing Tian Kong Digital Company Limited (“XTK”), a PRC company. XTK was the holder of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Shenzhen Da Sheng Communication Technology Company Limited (also known and do business as Shenzhen Dasen Communication Technology Company Limited, “Dasen”), a PRC company. Dasen is the holder of 70% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Foshan Da Sheng Communication Chain Service Company Limited (also known and do business as Foshan Dasen Communication Chain Service Co. Ltd, “FDSC”), a PRC company. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, FDH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company owned 100% of Donxon, 100% of XKT, 100% of Dasen and 70% of FDSC indirectly through FDH.

 

On February 13, 2018, a change of control occurred, and new officers and directors of the Company were appointed. The name change of ‘Sky Digital Stores Corp.’ (SKYC) to Qualis Innovations, Inc. and the 1 – 1,000 reverse split was announced on FINRA’s Daily List. Echo Resources LLLP took over control of Qualis owning 232,689 of the 396,650 common shares outstanding. Since that event Qualis did not have any business operations or any assets or liabilities.

 

In July 2019, John Ballard and a Charles Achoa, formed a new company named EMF Medical Devices Inc. for the development, maintenance, marketing and sale of an electronic device for the treatment of pain that would make use of certain intellectual property interests held by LCMD. In May 2021 the Company changed its name to mPathix Health Inc. Presently, John Ballard is the Chief Financial Officer and Charles Achoa does not participate in any management or board position.

 

On June 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among mPathix Health, Inc. (formerly EMF Medical Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation) (“mPathix”) and Qualis. The closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) took place on June 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of mPathix. In exchange, the Company issued to the mPathix shareholder’s, their designees or assigns, an aggregate of 6,988,300 shares of Company common stock (the “Shares Component”) or 93.36% of the shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding after the Closing (the “Share Exchange”), at a valuation of $0.50 per share, and the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 1,098,830 shares (698,830 warrants issued to the Company’s previous CEO and 400,000 to CreoMed which is beneficially owned by Dr. Joseph Pergolizzi, the Company’s acting CEO and chairman of the board) of the Company’s common stock, exercisable for 10 years at a $0.50 per share exercise price, subject to adjustment. In connection with the closing of the mPathix acquisition, the officers and directors of mPathix were appointed as the officers and directors of the Company. On June 29, 2021, the Company issued 496,650 common shares for the recapitalization of Qualis in conjunction with the reverse acquisition for a net book value of $0.

The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse merger’’ and recapitalization since the stockholders of mPathix owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock immediately following the completion of the transaction assuming that holders of 10% of the Public Shares exercise their conversion rights. mPathix was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of mPathix. As a result, Qualis was considered to be the continuation of the predecessor mPathix. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements are those of mPathix and are recorded at the historical cost basis of mPathix. Qualis’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of mPathix after consummation of the acquisition.

 

The Company is now the holding company under which mPathix operates. mPathix is a clinical stage company focused on the development, production, and distribution of pain management and other central nervous system (CNS) based solutions.

 

We are developing a product designed to address the unmet needs of patients who seek alternatives to traditional pain medications and interventions or adjunctive therapies to their current treatment regimen. We believe that our product will provide clinicians and patients with new and differentiated set of pain management tools to meet the diversity of patient needs.

 

A key element to the Company’s growth strategy is to acquire the rights to or develop existing devices. Large device companies have increased the minimum market opportunity they require in order to commit marketing resources to their products. As a result, there are many products that are unsupported by such companies and are currently scheduled to be phased out or “sunsetted.” Qualis Innovations believes that it can create significant value by developing or acquiring rights to a portfolio of such products, expanding their therapeutic uses and/or markets, improving or enhancing such products and dedicating the appropriate amount of marketing and other resources to maximize the value of the Company’s portfolio.

 

There are several key criteria the Company uses when evaluating product opportunities:

 

  The disease or condition largely has been ignored due to lack of interest by other, larger companies and, as a result, overall competition in the space is limited.
  The device is not selling well for various reasons (including, among other things, poor management, poor reimbursement, improper or no available billing codes, inaccurate pricing, and limited and/or poor clinical outcomes) which, Qualis would attempt to eliminate, thereby increasing product revenues.
  The device should be easy to manufacture, thereby avoiding the need for costly investment by the Company develop products and complicated manufacturing facilities.
  There should be a large, underserved patient population. The device should have clear regulatory and reimbursement paths with the FDA and CMS, respectively (or already be approved).
  The device should be relatively easy to distribute/dispense and administer. Most importantly, the product must have a history of limited adverse events to patients.

 

Our planned product, which is our sole product and is in the development pipeline, is SOLACE, a non-invasive medical device that uses electromagnetic induction to generate deep heat below the surface of the skin to reduce and relieve pain. SOLACE™ delivers radio frequency (RF) energy continuously and thereby delivers thermal effects to the tissue and utilizes several differentiated features vs other radio frequency devices currently on the market. We have not yet finalized development of the planned SOLACE device and have not generated any cash flows from operations in connection with the planned device.

 

The SOLACE device is based on proprietary high-frequency magnetic induction technology, which we refer to as Electromagnetic Induction (“EMI”). Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the use of electric currents or a derivative of a current in the form of a sound or an acoustic wave or an electromagnetic energy wave. Administered electric currents or their derivatives have two attributes: (1) pain relief and (2) regeneration of tissues.

 

Magnetic fields are induced beneath the skin surface to create localized, planar heat in the dermis and deeper muscle, while selectively avoiding sensitive structures in the epidermis and fat layers. By comparison, our SOLACE device creates currents in discreet planes beneath the tissue surface rather than directing energy through the planes and penetrating the epidermis. Therefore, our EMI technology may provide for shorter duration of treatments and a more comfortable patient experience vs. other energy-based technologies.

SOLACE™ delivers RF energy via a user-friendly hand-held applicator that allows for targeted and ergonomic application of RF energy to discrete areas of concern. In contrast, competitor diathermy devices utilize a large drum applicator wherein the RF energy is emitted across a large surface area. Diathermy is the controlled production of deep heating beneath the skin in the subcutaneous tissue, deep muscles and joints for therapeutic purposes. There are two types of diathermy devices on the market today: radio or high frequency and microwave. The drum applicator design limits the tissue targeting to larger joints, while smaller joints or tissue areas (e.g. acromion of the shoulder, plantar aspect of foot, neck) are largely unaddressed. The hand-held applicator from the SOLACE™ device provides a small surface area (approx. 3 cm2) which is coated in Teflon® that can easily be positioned to target smaller body parts providing a differentiation compared to large drum-type radio frequency devices fail to adequately treat.

 

Presently, the Company is in the process of preparing the documents necessary to submit an application to the FDA for clearance of our planned device. We plan on also filing a provisional patent for the changes and new development of our device over our previous licensed device from LCMD, The Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,310,374. It is anticipated that the total expected financial outlay to complete the development and FDA application is approximately $250,000, combined with operating expenses the Company may not be able to have enough cash flow to support the Company’s daily operations resulting in an opinion by the auditors of the Company continuing as a going concern.

 

We anticipate that our SOLACE device will be cleared by the FDA via the 510k process and that it will be deemed to be substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device called the Bebe device, The Bebe device was originally cleared by the FDA in 2014 by the Marchitto Entities and subsequently sold to LCMD via an Asset Purchase Agreement and an Intellectual Property License Agreement. The Bebe device is indicated for use in the treatment of selected medical conditions such as pain relief, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, but not for the treatment of malignancies.

 

Overview

 

Qualis Innovations Inc. (hereinafter the “Company,” “We,” “Qualis”) “Qualis”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 23, 2006. On June 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement by and among mPathix Health, Inc. (formerly known as EMF Medical Devices, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“mPathix”), pursuant to which mPathix was acquired by the Company. Qualis is now the holding company under which mPathix operates. mPathix is a clinical stage company focused on the development, production, and distribution of pain management and other central nervous system (CNS) based solutions.

 

We are developing a product designed to address the unmet needs of patients who seek alternatives to traditional pain medications and interventions or adjunctive therapies to their current treatment regimen. We believe that our product will provide clinicians and patients with new and differentiated set of pain management tools to meet the diversity of patient needs.

 

Competition

 

The medical device industry is constantly evolving, and scientific advances are expected to continue at a rapid pace. This results in intense competition among companies operating in the industry. Other, larger companies may have, or may be developing, products that compete with our product and may significantly limit the market acceptance of our product or render them obsolete. Our technical and/or business competitors would include major pharmaceutical companies, large and small medical device companies, universities and nonprofit research institutions and foundations. Most of these competitors have significantly greater research and development capabilities than we have, as well as substantial marketing, financial and managerial resources.

 

Our product are expected to primarily compete with manufacturers who develop and market alternative devices utilizing vastly different technology. There are many other companies, both public and private, that service the same markets as we do, all of which compete to some degree with our company. This includes medical device companies, drug companies and other companies and industries addressing the pain treatment market. These organizations are also expected to compete with us for acquisitions, joint ventures, or other collaborations and to attract qualified personnel. In addition, as current or new products gain market acceptance, we may experience increased competition for our product, and we may not be able to compete effectively. Failure to effectively compete could adversely affect our market share, financial condition, and growth prospects.

 

 6 

 

 

The primary competitive factors facing us include ease of use, safety, price, quality, innovative design and technical capability, breadth of product line, service, and distribution capabilities. Our current and future competitors may have greater resources, more widely accepted and innovative products, greater technical capabilities and stronger name recognition than we do. Our ability to compete is affected by our ability to:

 

  1. obtain regulatory clearance and compliance for our product in regards to future modifications and design; This process of regulatory clearance involves getting FDA approval for our planned product which includes filing an application for 510(k) approval for our type of medical device. The application consists of safety testing, design review, modifications made to the device to ensure safety of those modifications, quality management systems, labeling, distribution manufacturing, sales, promotion and other compliance requirements associated with a Class II medical device which the SOLACE device is a part of. A Class II medical device are those devices that have a moderated to high risk to the patient, 43% of all medical devices fall under this category.
     
  2. manufacture and sell or lease our product cost effectively;
     
  3. meet all relevant quality standards for our product in their particular markets;
     
  4. develop or acquire new products and innovative technologies;
     
  5. respond to competitive pressures specific to each of our geographic and product markets;
     
  6. protect the proprietary technology of our product and avoid infringement of the proprietary rights of others
     
  7. market our product;
     
  8. attract and retain skilled employees, including sales representatives; and
     
  9. maintain and establish distribution relationships.

 

Competitors could develop products that are more effective, achieve more favorable reimbursement status from third-party payors, cost less or are ready for commercial introduction before our product. If our competitors are better able to develop and patent products earlier than we can or develop more effective and/or less expensive products that render our product obsolete or non-competitive, our business will be harmed and our commercial opportunities will be reduced or eliminated.

 

Currently, we are not a manufacturer. To the extent that we engage third party manufacturers to produce our product, our manufacturing capabilities may not be adequate or sufficient to compete with large scale, direct or third-party manufacturers, which may be able to secure inventory from vendors on more favorable terms, operate with a lower cost structure or adopt more aggressive pricing policies.

 

Manufacturing

 

We will use Shanghai Zhiting Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd (“SZIT”) as our CMO to manufacture the SOLACE device, and to warehouse our product in their facilities in the San Francisco. SZIT is ISO 13482:2016 certified. We also intend to identify a back-up manufacture to ensure the integrity of our product supply chain in case of natural disaster or political uncertainty.

 

We plan use Kanban inventory management by which our SOLACE inventory will be held by Supertech Medical Devices Inc.(“Supertech”) at their warehouse until customer orders are received. Devices will be shipped from Supertech’s warehouse.

 

Product Distribution

 

We plan to initially offer our SOLACE device via a purchase or leasing model and we will generate demand with a combination of direct and independent sales representatives in the United States. Field sales representatives will be engaged to sell in predefined geographic markets and will be compensated based on a commission amount of the revenues generated by the medical device. The focus will be to market our device to a target audience of professionals who specialize in the use of multi-modal, or multi-disciplinary, pain management techniques.

 

Our target audience includes chiropractors, physical therapists, and pain management specialists. However, our sales and promotional effort will be focused on using an account-based approach to further segment the market which will allow us to promote the SOLACE device in the most efficient manner. Our primary promotional targets will be multi-practitioner clinics and high throughput, solo-practitioner offices. We also intend to have a Corporate Accounts team to target large national and regional chiropractic and physical therapy chains. Examples of corporate accounts targets include The Joint, a national chiropractic franchise with over 500 locations, and ATI Physical Therapy with 900 locations across the US.

 

 7 

 

 

At launch, we will sell our SOLACE™ device directly to customers who will be able to either buy it outright or lease it via a third-party financing partner, Coastal Capital Group. If the device is to be leased, mPathix will be paid 50% of the purchase price upon leasing signing and 50% upon device delivery to the customer.

 

Although we plan to sell or lease the SOLACE™ device to target accounts at launch, we are also developing a proprietary method of revenue sharing that will allow for greater utilization of our device with customers, and thus expanding our market penetration into a broader subset of customers for whom purchasing or leasing the SOLACE device is not practical. Based on this approach, we may be able to accelerate the number of devices placed based on a greatly reduced acquisition cost for our customer. Further, it may be possible for mPathix to have real-time revenue recognition, which could lead to significantly lower days sales outstanding.

 

mPathix is also evaluating unique distribution models to fully maximize our reach with our target audience. Potential distribution models include “device sharing” or “on-demand” availability of the SOLACE™ device, allowing even the lowest patient throughput practices to access our technology. Such distribution models will be test marketed prior to any potential national implementation.

 

Regardless of which distribution model, or combination of models, is utilized, each account that accesses the SOLACE device will incorporate a monthly fee for device calibration and maintenance.

 

Reimbursement

 

Based on our target market (i.e., chiropractors and physical therapists), we believe many, if not most, patients will pay out of pocket for treatment with the SOLACE™ device. However, there will be certain practitioners, including medical doctors, who will treat patients with medical insurance plans and attempt get reimbursement for their service. In this revenue stream, revenue will be derived from patients with insurance plans held by private health insurance carriers, typically known as HMOs or PPOs, who pay on behalf of their insureds and worker’s compensation claims. This will continue to create revenue which will become recurring as patients are treated on a regular basis.

 

The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 97024, as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the category of Supervised Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Modalities. CPT 97024 includes the application of a modality to 1 or more areas; Diathermy (e.g., microwave). This is the code healthcare professionals may be able to use for billing and reimbursement, in addition to the ICD-10 diagnosis code, for payment by insurers. The provider fee for 97024 is assumed to about $30.

 

Government Regulation

 

The Company cannot commence sales of our planned SOLACE device until the device has been approved by the FDA. The Company has not yet filed a 510(k) application with the FDA to receive approval for the planned SOLACE device. Once the Company has done so, and if and when the Company receives FDA approval of its 510(k) application for the SOLACE device, we would then be subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and foreign and state regulatory authorities. In the United States, medical device companies must comply with laws and regulations promulgated by the FDA. These laws and regulations require various authorizations prior to a product being marketed in the United States. Manufacturing facilities and practices are also subject to FDA regulations. The FDA regulates the clinical testing, manufacture, labeling, sale, distribution and promotion of medical devices in the United States. If and when we receive FDA approval for our planned SOLACE device, failure to comply with regulatory requirements, including any future changes to such requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations as such failure could prevent us from selling or licensing our SOLACE device in the United States.

 

Even after clearance or approval of our planned device, we would still be subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including the requirements of registering our facilities and listing our product with the FDA. We would be subject to medical device reporting regulations. These regulations would require us to report to the FDA if any of our products may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or has malfunctioned and such product or a similar product that we market would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. We would also be required, unless an exemption applies, to report corrections and removals to the FDA where the correction or removal was initiated to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Additionally, we would be required by the FDA to maintain records of corrections or removals, regardless of whether such corrections and removals are required to be reported to the FDA. In addition, the FDA would closely regulate any device promotion and advertising, and our future promotional and advertising activities with respect to our planned SOLACE device could come under scrutiny by the FDA.

 

 8 

 

 

We would also be subject to arbitrary impounding and inspections of our device shipments by the FDA, despite having FDA approval and 510(k) clearance. While we would expect after our first few initial shipments for this to be a less likely event, there is no assurance that the FDA may not arbitrarily impound our planned devices without notice and with no definitive timeline to provide a venue for the Company to prove our compliance and to have the product released to our distributor(s) or customer(s).

 

The FDA will also require that we, or our contract manufacturers, manufacture our product in accordance with its Quality System Regulation, or QSR. The QSR covers the methods and documentation of the design, testing, control, manufacturing, labeling, quality assurance, packaging, storage and shipping of our planned devices. Failure to maintain compliance with the QSR requirements could result in the shutdown of, or restrictions on, our future manufacturing operations and the recall or seizure of our product, which would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our future business. Similarly, in the event that one of our suppliers fails to maintain compliance with quality requirements, we would likely have to qualify a new supplier and could experience manufacturing delays as a result.

 

The FDA has broad enforcement powers. If we violate applicable regulatory requirements before or after we receive FDA approval for our planned SOLACE device, the FDA may bring enforcement actions against us, which may include the following sanctions:

 

  Form 483 deficiency observations, warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;
  mandatory repair, replacement, recall or seizure of our product, which may include refunds by us of the purchase price;
  operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;
  refusing or delaying our requests for 510(k) clearance or PMA of new products or new intended uses of our existing product;

OVERVIEW:

 

Historical Development

 

Our Company

 

Qualis Innovations Inc. (hereinafter the “Company,” “We,” “Qualis”) “Qualis”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 23, 2006. On June 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement by and among mPathix Health, Inc. (formerly known as EMF Medical Devices, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“mPathix”), pursuant to which mPathix was acquired by the Company. Qualis is now the holding company under which mPathix operates. mPathix is a clinical stage company focused on the development, production, and distribution of pain management and other central nervous system (CNS) based solutions.

 

We are developing a product designed to address the unmet needs of patients who seek alternatives to traditional pain medications and interventions or adjunctive therapies to their current treatment regimen. We believe that our product will provide clinicians and patients with new and differentiated set of pain management tools to meet the diversity of patient

 

Recent Developments

 

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Financing Transactions

 

Insurance Financing Agreement

 

On July 20, 2022, the Company entered into a loan to finance its directors and officer’s insurance policy effective June 28, 2022. The loan has a principal balance of $90,225, bears interest at 8.83% per annum, and is due and payable in nine monthly payments of $10,397. During the years ended December 31, 2022, the Company made repayments of $59,033 and has a balance of $31,192 at December 31, 2022.

 

Acquisition of mPathix

 

On June 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among mPathix Health, Inc. (formerly EMF Medical Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation) (“mPathix”) and Qualis. The closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) took place on June 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of mPathix. In exchange, the Company issued to the mPathix shareholder’s, their designees or assigns, an aggregate of 6,988,300 shares of Company common stock (the “Shares Component”) or 93.36% of the shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding after the Closing (the “Share Exchange”), at a valuation of $0.50 per share, and the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 1,098,830 shares (698,830 warrants issued to the Company’s previous CEO and 400,000 to CreoMed which is beneficially owned by Dr. Joseph Pergolizzi, the Company’s acting CEO and chairman of the board) of the Company’s common stock, exercisable for 10 years at a $0.50 per share exercise price, subject to adjustment. In connection with the closing of the mPathix acquisition, the officers and directors of mPathix were appointed as the officers and directors of the Company.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since the stockholders of mPathix prior to the acquisition acquired a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company immediately following the completion of the transaction. mPathix was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction, and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of mPathix. As a result, the Company was considered to be the continuation of the predecessor, mPathix. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are those of mPathix and are recorded at the historical cost basis of mPathix. The Company’s assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of mPathix after consummation of the acquisition.

Stock Based Compensation

 

Employment Agreement

 

On March 1, 2021, Mr. Ahmet Demir Bingol, the Company’s CEO entered into an Employment Agreement with the Company, with an effective date of March 16, 2021, in which he receives an annual base salary of $250,000, plus bonus compensation not to exceed 80% of base salary. In addition, Mr. Bingol was granted 698,830 warrants to purchase 698,830 of the Company’s common stock, valued at $165,378 (based on the Black Scholes valuation model on the date of grant). The warrants are exercisable for a period of ten years at $0.50 per share in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a cashless exercise, and fully vest at grant date. Mr. Bingol’s employment also provides for medical insurance, disability benefits and one year of severance pay if his employment is terminated without cause or due to a change in control. Mr. Bingol’s compensation was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 1, 2021.

 

On September 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a modified Employment Agreement for Mr. Bingol which was subsequently signed on October 1, 2021. The modification resulted in changing Mr. Bingol’s position from CEO to President and in reducing Mr. Bingol’s base salary from $250,000 to $150,000 per year. In addition, his bonus plan was reset with a target bonus at fifty percent (50%) of Executive’s Base Salary, based upon the actual achievement of financial and other targets as established in the annual budget approved by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion. Further, on October 1, 2021, Mr. Bingol’s previously issued warrants were modified such that he will receive 300,000 warrants that vest immediately at an exercise price of $0.50 and 398,830 warrants that vest over a period of three years with an exercise price of $0.50. As a result, in accordance with ASC 718-20-35-2A and 718-20-35-3, immediately prior to the modification, the Company calculated the fair value of the warrants and determined that there was no change to the fair value. Subsequent to the modification, the Company will recognize a loss of $9,155 over the remaining three year vesting period.

 

On February 24, 2022, Mr. Bingol entered into a separation agreement whereby he will terminate his employment effective April 15, 2022. He received no severance payment and there were no disagreements between he or the Company. A total of 300,000 warrants have vested with the remaining 398,830 unvested warrants expiring. As a result of Mr. Bingol’s termination, the Company reversed the remaining warrant modification balance of $94,101 during the years ended December 31, 2022.

 

Consulting Agreement

 

On May 1, 2021, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a related party to provide advisory services to the Company. The consulting agreement terminates July 31, 2022. Under this consulting agreement, the related party will be entitled to a monthly consulting fee of $10,000 and a total of 300,000 common shares to be issued 200,000 common shares based on the closing of reverse acquisition transaction, 50,000 common shares on the delivery of two Company’s medical devices and 50,000 common shares on the delivery of ten Company’s medical devices. The Company issued 250,000 common shares during the year ended December 31, 2021, for the fair value of $125,000 and 50,000 common shares shall be issued on delivery of an additional eight devices at a fair value estimated to be $25,000. The agreement has been extended through July 31, 2023 with a 90 day cancellation clause.

 

On January 27, 2022 the Company hired an engineering consultant to assist in completing the design history file, updating new software, system design, pre 510(k) preparation, and testing of the SOLACE device. This work is expected to be completed by the end of September 2022 and the cost of the contract is $77,850.

 

On October 3, 2022, the Company entered into an Independent Contractor Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with a third party to provide professional services to the Company. The Agreement terminates January 3, 2023. Under this Agreement, the contractor will be entitled to a monthly consulting fee of $6,000 and a total of 36,000 common shares, valued at $18,000 (based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant) for services rendered. The 36,000 common shares to be issued by the end of November 2022.

 

Prior License

 

We previously licensed from Life Care Medical Devices a number of patents in connection with the Prior Device, the predicate device which was marketed as the “BeBe” device, and which received 510(k) clearance from the FDA in March 2014. The granted indication for the BeBe device was “to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures.”

On August 28, 2019, our subsidiary, mPathix, entered into a Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD, licensing from LCMD certain patents, know how, trade secrets, 510(k) clearances and other property (the “Property”) previously transferred to LCMD by the Marchitto Entities (defined below) in accordance with an Asset Purchase Agreement and a separate Intellectual Property License Agreement dated November 10, 2015. Jim Holt who served as the sole officer and director of LCMD, is also one of our directors. mPathix had an exclusive license to reproduce, distribute, sell, lease, display and perform and otherwise use the Property (including the SOLACE medical device) for use in pain management as of the August 28, 2019 agreement. In consideration, mPathix issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock (1,878,955 shares issued to LCMD and 121,045 shares issued to an affiliate of LCMD) and paid $110,000 in cash to LCMD on or about on September 9, 2019, and mPathix was to pay continuing royalties to LCMD, with an initial royalty payment of 6.0% of the net revenues from pain application sales in each of the first twelve months, and lesser royalties thereafter based on annual device sales. No royalty payments have been made to or earned by LCMD since no revenues from medical device sales were generated.

 

On June 3, 2021, a Definitive License Agreement was signed by LCMD and mPathix in order to finalize the terms of the August 28, 2019 Preliminary License Agreement. The terms of the license with LCMD were contingent upon successful fulfilment of a court ordered resolution between LCMD and the original owners of the underlying intellectual property (the “Marchitto Entities”). LCMD was obligated to pay to the Marchitto Entities the sum of $2,400,000 on or before April 24, 2022, which has not occurred. Accordingly, we consider the license agreement to be expired, and we do not intend to renew the license agreement with LCMD or otherwise reacquire the intellectual property from the Marchitto Entities.

 

ASC 730-10-25-2(c), Intangible Assets Purchased From Others, requires a company to evaluate the technology acquired, and the applicable guidance for the determination of alternative future uses. mPathix determined, at the date of the acquisition of the technology, that it was acquiring an asset that represented a research and development (R&D) project that was still in the process of experimentation. The technology has additional potential future benefits including hyperhidrosis, stress bladder incontinence, and cosmetic indications. Therefore, the acquisition represented an asset by the Company.

 

Based on the Company’s analysis of the Solace medical device, as of December 31, 2021, the Company reassessed the value of the Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD. Related to this assessment, management determined that the intellectual property used in the Solace device is different from the intellectual property in the Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets of $143,226 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and was classified in other expenses in the consolidated Statement of Operations.

On October 3, 2022, the Company entered into an Independent Contractor Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with a third party to provide professional services to the Company.

In connection with the closing of the mPathix acquisition, the officers and directors of mPathix were appointed as the officers and directors of the Company.

The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse merger’’ and recapitalization since the stockholders of mPathix owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock immediately following the completion of the transaction assuming that holders of 10% of the Public Shares exercise their conversion rights. mPathix was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of mPathix. As a result, Qualis was considered to be the continuation of the predecessor mPathix. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements are those of mPathix and are recorded at the historical cost basis of mPathix. Qualis’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of mPathix after consummation of the acquisition.

As a result, in accordance with ASC 718-20-35-2A and 718-20-35-3, immediately prior to the modification, the Company calculated the fair value of the warrants and determined that there was no change to the fair value. Subsequent to the modification, the Company will recognize a loss of $9,155 over the remaining three-year vesting period.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

 

There is limited historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance. We have not finalized development of our planned SOLACE device, nor have we generated any cash flow from operations. The Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support the Company’s daily operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, and possible cost overruns due to increases in the cost of services. To become profitable and competitive, we must receive additional capital. We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. If that financing is not available, we may be unable to continue operations.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and professional fees required to support our operations and growth.

 

Depending on the extent of our future growth, we may experience significant strain on our management, personnel, and information systems. We will need to implement and improve operational, financial, and management information systems. In addition, we are implementing new information systems that will provide better record-keeping. However, there can be no assurance that our management resources or information systems will be sufficient to manage any future growth in our business, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, the Company has incurred an increase in professional fees (primarily legal and audit fees) and has decreased consulting fees (primarily the fair value of common stock and options issued for services), as a result of the Company filing its S-1 and 10K. Amortization of the Company’s Intellectual Property License Agreement decreased in the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the years ended December 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,625,287 at December 31, 2022, had working capital of $184,696 at December 31, 2022, had net losses of $920,515 and $1,732,116 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities of $558,426 and $792,844 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with no revenue earned since inception, and a lack of operational history. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

While the Company is attempting to expand operations and increase revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public offering or an asset sale transaction. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While management believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds or transact an asset sale, there can be no assurances to that effect or on terms acceptable to the Company. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

General – Overall, we had a decrease in cash flows for years ended December 31, 2022 of $458,426 resulting from cash used in operating activities of $558,426, offset partially by cash provided by financing activities of $100,000.

 

The following is a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities during the periods indicated:

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities – For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operations was $558,426 compared to net cash used in operations of $792,844 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net cash used in operations was primarily due to a net loss of $920,515 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $70,933, primarily due to other current assets of $8,974, inventory of $20,100, short-term notes payable of $31,192 and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $22,067, offset partially by other current liabilities of $11,400. In addition, net cash used in operating activities includes adjustments to reconcile net profit from depreciation expense of $17,102, warrants issued for services of $342,024, options issued for services of $8,131, issuance of common stock for services of $18,000, and warrants forfeited in conjunction with compensation – related parties of $94,101.

 

Net cash used in operations was primarily due to a net loss of $1,732,116 for year ended December 31, 2021 and the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $90,771, primarily due to the changes in deposits of $36,000, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $18,248, and other current liabilities of $11,400, offset partially by other current assets of $96,144 and inventory of $60,275. In addition, net cash used in operating activities includes adjustments to reconcile net profit from amortization expense of $429,677, depreciation expense of $16,953, warrants issued for services of $131,546, stock based compensation – related parties of $166,141, issuance of common stock for services of $2,500, issuance of common stock for services – related parties of $140,000, and an impairment of assets of $143,226.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities – For the years ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in investing was none compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $1,787 for years ended December 31, 2021 due to the purchase of property and equipment.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities – For years ended December 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing was $100,000 due to proceeds from issuance of common stock for cash. For years ended December 31, 2021, cash flows provided by financing activities was $1,250,000 due to proceeds from issuance of common stock for cash.

 

Financing – We expect that our current working capital position, together with our expected future cash flows from operations will be insufficient to fund our operations in the ordinary course of business, anticipated capital expenditures, debt payment requirements and other contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months. However, this belief is based upon many assumptions and is subject to numerous risks, and there can be no assurance that we will not require additional funding in the future.

 

We have no present agreements or commitments with respect to any material acquisitions of other businesses, products, product rights or technologies or any other material capital expenditures. However, we will continue to evaluate acquisitions of and/or investments in products, technologies, capital equipment or improvements or companies that complement our business and may make such acquisitions and/or investments in the future. Accordingly, we may need to obtain additional sources of capital in the future to finance any such acquisitions and/or investments. We may not be able to obtain such financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Due to the ongoing global economic crisis, we believe it may be difficult to obtain additional financing if needed. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our shareholders, in the case of equity financing.

 

Acquisition of mPathix

 

On June 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among mPathix Health, Inc. (formerly EMF Medical Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation) (“mPathix”) and Qualis. The closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) took place on June 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of mPathix. In exchange, the Company issued to the mPathix shareholder’s, their designees or assigns, an aggregate of 6,988,300 shares of Company common stock (the “Shares Component”) or 93.36% of the shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding after the Closing (the “Share Exchange”), at a valuation of $0.50 per share, and the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 1,098,830 shares (698,830 warrants issued to the Company’s previous CEO and 400,000 to CreoMed which is beneficially owned by Dr. Joseph Pergolizzi, the Company’s acting CEO and chairman of the board) of the Company’s common stock, exercisable for 10 years at a $0.50 per share exercise price, subject to adjustment. In connection with the closing of the mPathix acquisition, the officers and directors of mPathix were appointed as the officers and directors of the Company.

The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since the stockholders of mPathix prior to the acquisition acquired a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company immediately following the completion of the transaction. mPathix was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction, and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of mPathix. As a result, the Company was considered to be the continuation of the predecessor, mPathix. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are those of mPathix and are recorded at the historical cost basis of mPathix. The Company’s assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of mPathix after consummation of the acquisition.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Employment Agreement

 

On March 1, 2021, Mr. Ahmet Demir Bingol, the Company’s CEO entered into an Employment Agreement with the Company, with an effective date of March 16, 2021, in which he receives an annual base salary of $250,000, plus bonus compensation not to exceed 80% of base salary. In addition, Mr. Bingol was granted 698,830 warrants to purchase 698,830 of the Company’s common stock, valued at $165,378 (based on the Black Scholes valuation model on the date of grant). The warrants are exercisable for a period of ten years at $0.50 per share in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a cashless exercise, and fully vest at grant date. Mr. Bingol’s employment also provides for medical insurance, disability benefits and one year of severance pay if his employment is terminated without cause or due to a change in control. Mr. Bingol’s compensation was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 1, 2021.

 

On September 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a modified Employment Agreement for Mr. Bingol which was subsequently signed on October 1, 2021. The modification resulted in changing Mr. Bingol’s position from CEO to President and in reducing Mr. Bingol’s base salary from $250,000 to $150,000 per year. In addition, his bonus plan was reset with a target bonus at fifty percent (50%) of Executive’s Base Salary, based upon the actual achievement of financial and other targets as established in the annual budget approved by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion. Further, on October 1, 2021, Mr. Bingol’s previously issued warrants were modified such that he will receive 300,000 warrants that vest immediately at an exercise price of $0.50 and 398,830 warrants that vest over a period of three years with an exercise price of $0.50. As a result, in accordance with ASC 718-20-35-2A and 718-20-35-3, immediately prior to the modification, the Company calculated the fair value of the warrants and determined that there was no change to the fair value. Subsequent to the modification, the Company will recognize a loss of $9,155 over the remaining three year vesting period.

 

On February 24, 2022, Mr. Bingol entered into a separation agreement whereby he will terminate his employment effective April 15, 2022. He received no severance payment and there were no disagreements between he or the Company. A total of 300,000 warrants have vested with the remaining 398,830 unvested warrants expiring. As a result of Mr. Bingol’s termination, the Company reversed the remaining warrant modification balance of $94,101 during the years ended December 31, 2022.

 

Consulting Agreement

 

On May 1, 2021, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a related party to provide advisory services to the Company. The consulting agreement terminates July 31, 2022. Under this consulting agreement, the related party will be entitled to a monthly consulting fee of $10,000 and a total of 300,000 common shares to be issued 200,000 common shares based on the closing of reverse acquisition transaction, 50,000 common shares on the delivery of two Company’s medical devices and 50,000 common shares on the delivery of ten Company’s medical devices. The Company issued 250,000 common shares during the year ended December 31, 2021, for the fair value of $125,000 and 50,000 common shares shall be issued on delivery of an additional eight devices at a fair value estimated to be $25,000. The agreement has been extended through July 31, 2023 with a 90 day cancellation clause.

 

On January 27, 2022 the Company hired an engineering consultant to assist in completing the design history file, updating new software, system design, pre 510(k) preparation, and testing of the SOLACE device. This work is expected to be completed by the end of September 2022 and the cost of the contract is $77,850.

 

On October 3, 2022, the Company entered into an Independent Contractor Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with a third party to provide professional services to the Company. The Agreement terminates January 3, 2023. Under this Agreement, the contractor will be entitled to a monthly consulting fee of $6,000 and a total of 36,000 common shares, valued at $18,000 (based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant) for services rendered. The 36,000 common shares to be issued by the end of November 2022.

Prior License

 

We previously licensed from Life Care Medical Devices a number of patents in connection with the Prior Device, the predicate device which was marketed as the “BeBe” device, and which received 510(k) clearance from the FDA in March 2014. The granted indication for the BeBe device was “to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures.”

 

On August 28, 2019, our subsidiary, mPathix, entered into a Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD, licensing from LCMD certain patents, know how, trade secrets, 510(k) clearances and other property (the “Property”) previously transferred to LCMD by the Marchitto Entities (defined below) in accordance with an Asset Purchase Agreement and a separate Intellectual Property License Agreement dated November 10, 2015. Jim Holt who served as the sole officer and director of LCMD, is also one of our directors. mPathix had an exclusive license to reproduce, distribute, sell, lease, display and perform and otherwise use the Property (including the SOLACE medical device) for use in pain management as of the August 28, 2019 agreement. In consideration, mPathix issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock (1,878,955 shares issued to LCMD and 121,045 shares issued to an affiliate of LCMD) and paid $110,000 in cash to LCMD on or about on September 9, 2019, and mPathix was to pay continuing royalties to LCMD, with an initial royalty payment of 6.0% of the net revenues from pain application sales in each of the first twelve months, and lesser royalties thereafter based on annual device sales. No royalty payments have been made to or earned by LCMD since no revenues from medical device sales were generated.

 

On June 3, 2021, a Definitive License Agreement was signed by LCMD and mPathix in order to finalize the terms of the August 28, 2019 Preliminary License Agreement. The terms of the license with LCMD were contingent upon successful fulfilment of a court ordered resolution between LCMD and the original owners of the underlying intellectual property (the “Marchitto Entities”). LCMD was obligated to pay to the Marchitto Entities the sum of $2,400,000 on or before April 24, 2022, which has not occurred. Accordingly, we consider the license agreement to be expired, and we do not intend to renew the license agreement with LCMD or otherwise reacquire the intellectual property from the Marchitto Entities.

 

The Company is in the process of finalizing the SOLACE product design and is beginning to compile the data required to complete an application with the FDA. Further, given the substantial changes and modifications that we have identified for our device, the Company will seek to file provisional patents at the earliest possible date.

 

ASC 730-10-25-2(c), Intangible Assets Purchased From Others, requires a company to evaluate the technology acquired, and the applicable guidance for the determination of alternative future uses. mPathix determined, at the date of the acquisition of the technology, that it was acquiring an asset that represented a research and development (R&D) project that was still in the process of experimentation. The technology has additional potential future benefits including hyperhidrosis, stress bladder incontinence, and cosmetic indications. Therefore, the acquisition represented an asset by the Company.

 

The Intellectual Property License Agreement will expire in April 2022. mPathix recorded $1,110,000 as an intangible asset and is being amortized on a straight-line basis thru the end of the licensing agreement of April 2022.

 

Based on the Company’s analysis of the Solace medical device, as of December 31, 2021, the Company reassessed the value of the Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD. Related to this assessment, management determined that the intellectual property used in the Solace device is different from the intellectual property in the Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets of $143,226 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and is classified in other expenses in the consolidated Statement of Operations.

(formerly EMF Medical Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation) (“mPathix”) and Qualis. The closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) took place on June 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of mPathix. In exchange, the Company issued to the mPathix shareholder’s, their designees or assigns, an aggregate of 6,988,300 shares of Company common stock (the “Shares Component”) or 93.36% of the shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding after the Closing (the “Share Exchange”), at a valuation of $0.50 per share, and the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 1,098,830 shares (698,830 warrants issued to the Company’s previous CEO and 400,000 to CreoMed which is beneficially owned by Dr. Joseph Pergolizzi, the Company’s acting CEO and chairman of the board) of the Company’s common stock, exercisable for 10 years at a $0.50 per share exercise price, subject to adjustment. In connection with the closing of the mPathix acquisition, the officers and directors of mPathix were appointed as the officers and directors of the Company.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse merger’’ and recapitalization since the stockholders of mPathix owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock immediately following the completion of the transaction assuming that holders of 10% of the Public Shares exercise their conversion rights. mPathix was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of mPathix. As a result, Qualis was considered to be the continuation of the predecessor mPathix. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements are those of mPathix and are recorded at the historical cost basis of mPathix. Qualis’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of mPathix after consummation of the acquisition.

As a result, in accordance with ASC 718-20-35-2A and 718-20-35-3, immediately prior to the modification, the Company calculated the fair value of the warrants and determined that there was no change to the fair value.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported accurately, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and within the required time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our acting Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report (December 31, 2022), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to enable us to accurately record, process, summarize and report certain information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings within the required time periods, and to accumulate and communicate to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company believes that each member of its Board of Directors is qualified to serve as a director due to their experience in the capital markets and/or the medical field and their general business experience and knowledge. Jim Holt and Madding King have experience in the capital markets and would be useful in advising the Company on raising funds in the future. Dr. Pergolizzi is an internationally recognized thought leader in anesthesiology, internal medicine, perioperative care, pain medicine, critical and palliative care, pharmacology, drug development, and regulatory affairs. This experience is important to advise the Company on regulatory compliance and product development for our SOLACE device. Mr. Ballard experience is in public reporting and is important to advise the Company on public reporting compliance and assist in meeting reporting requirements of a public company.

 

Board Composition

 

Our By-Laws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of not less than one nor more than fifteen directors. Each director of the Company serves until his successor is elected and qualified, subject to removal by the Company’s majority shareholders. Each officer shall hold their offices for such terms and shall exercise such powers and perform such duties as shall be determined by the Board of Directors, and shall hold his office until his successor is elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation or removal. Presently, Board members receive 25,000 restricted common shares for their service and serve for a period of one year whereby through the annual meeting new directors may be elected. The role of the board is to advise on both financial and product matters. Additionally, the board must approve major decisions involving new products, potential acquisitions or funding matters.

 

No Committees of the Board of Directors; No Financial Expert

 

We do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors, nor do we have (i) any directors that would qualify as independent under relevant SEC or securities exchange rules, (ii) an audit committee, or (iii) a financial expert. Management has determined not to establish an audit committee at present because our limited resources and limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of an audit committee or the expense of doing so. As such, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee. We do not have a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer based on management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person who meets the criteria for a financial expert under Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K is beyond our limited financial resources and the financial skills of such an expert are not required or necessary for us to maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in light of the limited scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in our consolidated financial statements at this stage of our development.

 

Advisory Board

 

The Company has also formed an Advisory Board of individuals with expertise relevant to the medical device, medical, and electronics industries. The advisory board was selected from individuals who were familiar with our medical device either through using the LCMD device or assisted in the development of our current medical device. The following members have had experience with the LCMD device in using the device in their practice these individuals include Dr. Ben Edwards and Vanessa Burbage. The Advisory Board’s role is to review our device design plans, and assist in the development of our medical device product the SOLACE. The members of our advisory board serve for a period of two years and are not compensated for being on the board but have received compensation for their consulting in the testing, engineering and designing of our product. The Advisory Board has no ability to bind the Company, nor are its members fiduciaries or other agents of the Company.

 

Dr. Ben Edwards – Dr. Edwards currently works as the medical director of Veritas Medical where he has been employed since 2010. Veritas Medical is a nutrition and lifestyle focused clinic. He graduated from Baylor University in 1993 with a B.A. in Biology and then received his Medical Degree from the University of Texas-Houston Medical School in 2002. He completed his family practice residency in 2005 at McLennan County Medical Education and Research Foundation in Waco, TX where he was Chief Resident. Upon completion of his medical training, Dr. Edwards was the sole physician in the county at Garza County Health Clinic, garnering notoriety from the Lubbock Avalanche Journal, Texas Monthly, and the Washington Post for his very successful operation of a rural county health clinic. In 2012, Dr. Edwards founded Veritas Medical where he and his team have successfully helped educate and support thousands of patients on their journey from chronically ill to well.

Vanessa Burbage – Ms. Burbage is an experienced and practicing electrologist, she currently owns her own medical spa since 1997.

Code of Ethics

 

The Company currently does not have a Code of Ethics.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executives or directors.

 

Director Independence

 

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities. As a result of this review, our board of directors determined that our directors do not meet independence requirements, according to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

Involvement in Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. Other than disclosed herein, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations.

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation

 

The following is a discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of our named executive officers, or NEOs. This discussion contains forward looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion. As an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we are not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and have elected to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies.

In addition, Mr. Bingol was granted 698,830 warrants to purchase 698,830 of the Company’s common stock, valued at $165,378 (based on the Black Scholes valuation model on the date of grant). The warrants are exercisable for a period of ten years at $0.50 per share in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a cashless exercise, and fully vest at grant date. Mr. Bingol’s employment also provides for medical insurance, disability benefits and one year of severance pay if his employment is terminated without cause or due to a change in control. Mr. Bingol’s compensation was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 1, 2021.

 

On September 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a modified Employment Agreement for Mr. Bingol which was subsequently signed on October 1, 2021. The modification resulted in changing Mr. Bingol’s position from CEO to President and in reducing Mr. Bingol’s base salary from $250,000 to $150,000 per year. In addition, his bonus plan was reset with a target bonus at fifty percent (50%) of Executive’s Base Salary, based upon the actual achievement of financial and other targets as established in the annual budget approved by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion. Further, on October 1, 2021, Mr. Bingol’s previously issued warrants were modified such that he will receive 300,000 warrants that vest immediately at an exercise price of $0.50 and 398,830 warrants that vest over a period of three years with an exercise price of $0.50. As a result, in accordance with ASC 718-20-35-2A and 718-20-35-3, immediately prior to the modification, the Company calculated the fair value of the warrants and determined that there was no change to the fair value. Subsequent to the modification, the Company expects to recognize a loss of $9,155 over the remaining three year vesting period.

 

On February 24, 2022, Mr. Bingol entered into a separation agreement whereby he will terminate his employment effective April 15, 2022. He received no severance payment and there were no disagreements between he or the Company. A total of 300,000 warrants have vested with the remaining 398,830 unvested warrants expiring. As a result of Mr. Bingol’s termination, the Company reversed the amount of $94,101 against the 398,830 unvested warrants as of March 31, 2022.

Indemnification Agreements

 

We have entered or intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, will require us to indemnify each individual to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the individual in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of us, arising out of the person’s services as a director, officer or other employee.

 

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

 

Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with our executive officer(s), director(s) and significant shareholders. We rely on our board to review related party transactions on an ongoing basis to prevent conflicts of interest. Our board reviews a transaction in light of the affiliations of the director, officer or employee and the affiliations of such person’s immediate family. Transactions are presented to our board for approval before they are entered into or, if this is not possible, for ratification after the transaction has occurred. If our board finds that a conflict of interest exists, then it will determine the appropriate remedial action, if any. Our board approves or ratifies a transaction if it determines that the transaction is consistent with the best interests of the Company. We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our board of directors, or an appropriate committee thereof.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Quails Innovations Inc.

225 Wilmington West Chester Pike

Suite 200

Chadds Ford, PA 19317

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quails Innovations Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no revenues, incurred recurring losses and has recurring cash used in operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

A critical audit matter is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee or the Company’s governance and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating a critical audit, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Warrants Issued for Services

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $303,823 in expenses related to warrants issued for services. As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has issued 430,000 warrants to Management and consultants for services. Warrants issued for services were recorded at their fair value on their measurement dates based upon the black-scholes options pricing model.

 

Our audit procedures to evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of the accounting and fair value determined by management included reviewing the agreements supporting the issuances as well as independently recomputing the valuations made by Management.

 

 
   
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

QUALIS INNOVATIONS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

Corporate History and Background

 

Qualis Innovations, Inc. (the “Company” or “Qualis”), formerly known as Hoopsoft Development Corp., Yellowstone Mining, Inc. and Sky Digital Holding Corp. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 23, 2006 under the name Hoopsoft Development Corp (“Hoopsoft”). On January 12, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (“Agreement and Plan of Merger”) with Yellowcake Mining, Inc. (“Yellowcake”), a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hoopsoft Development Corp., incorporated for the sole purpose of effecting the merger. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Yellowcake merged with and into Hoopsoft, with Hoopsoft carrying on as the surviving corporation under the name “Yellowcake Mining, Inc.”

 

On April 6, 2011, Yellowcake restated its articles of incorporation and changed its name to Sky Digital Stores Corp (“SKYC”). On May 5, 2011, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among SKYC and Hong Kong First Digital Holding Ltd. (“First Digital”), and the shareholders of First Digital (the “FDH Shareholders”) entered into a Share “FDH”), and the shareholders of FDH (the “FDH Shareholders”). The closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) took place on May 5, 2011 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of FDH from the FDH Shareholders; and FDH Shareholders transferred and contributed all of their Shares to us. In exchange, the Company issued to the FDH Shareholders, their designees or assigns, an aggregate of 23,716,035 shares (the “Shares Component”) or 97.56% of the shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding after the Closing (the “Share Exchange”), at $0.20 per share.

 

Mr. Lin Xiangfeng planned, organized and executed the Share Exchange. Prior to the Share Exchange, Mr. Lin Xiangfeng was the largest shareholder and sole officer of FDH. He was also the CEO of SKYC but did not own any shares of the Company. The parties involved in the Share Exchange Agreement are SKYC, FDH and all FDH Shareholders. Mr. Lin Jinshui, an FDH Shareholder, is the father of Mr. Lin Xiangfeng and Mr. Lin Xiuzi, an FDH Shareholder, is the brother of Mr. Lin Xiangfeng. Other than Mr. Lin Xiangfeng, no third party played a substantial role in the agreement.

 

FDH owned (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Shenzhen Dong Sen Mobile Communication Technology Co., Ltd (also known and doing business as Shenzhen Donxon Mobile Communication Technology Co., Ltd, “Donxon”), a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”); and (ii) 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Shenzhen Xing Tian Kong Digital Company Limited (“XTK”), a PRC company. XTK was the holder of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Shenzhen Da Sheng Communication Technology Company Limited (also known and do business as Shenzhen Dasen Communication Technology Company Limited, “Dasen”), a PRC company. Dasen is the holder of 70% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Foshan Da Sheng Communication Chain Service Company Limited (also known and do business as Foshan Dasen Communication Chain Service Co. Ltd, “FDSC”), a PRC company. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, FDH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company owned 100% of Donxon, 100% of XKT, 100% of Dasen and 70% of FDSC indirectly through FDH.

 

On February 13, 2018, a change of control occurred, and new officers and directors of the Company were appointed. The name change of ‘Sky Digital Stores Corp.’ (SKYC) to Qualis Innovations, Inc. and the 1 – 1,000 reverse split was announced on FINRA’s Daily List. Echo Resources LLLP took over control of Qualis owning 232,689 of the 396,650 common shares outstanding. Since that event Qualis did not have any business operations or any assets or liabilities.

 

In July, 2019, John Ballard and a Charles Achoa, formed a new company named EMF Medical Devices Inc. for the development, maintenance, marketing and sale of an electronic device for the treatment of pain that would make use of certain intellectual property interests held by LCMD. In May 2021 the Company changed its name to mPathix Health Inc. Presently, John Ballard is the Chief Financial Officer and Charles Achoa does not participate in any management or board position.

On June 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among mPathix Health, Inc. (formerly EMF Medical Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation) (“mPathix”) and Qualis. The closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) took place on June 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of mPathix. In exchange, the Company issued to the mPathix shareholder’s, their designees or assigns, an aggregate of 6,988,300 shares of Company common stock (the “Shares Component”) or 93.36% of the shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding after the Closing (the “Share Exchange”), at a valuation of $0.50 per share, and the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 1,098,830 shares (698,830 warrants issued to the Company’s previous CEO and 400,000 to CreoMed which is beneficially owned by Dr. Joseph Pergolizzi, the Company’s acting CEO and chairman of the board) of the Company’s common stock, exercisable for 10 years at a $0.50 per share exercise price, subject to adjustment. In connection with the closing of the mPathix acquisition, the officers and directors of mPathix were appointed as the officers and directors of the Company. On June 29, 2021, the Company issued 496,650 common shares for the recapitalization of Qualis in conjunction with the reverse acquisition for a net book value of $0.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse merger’’ and recapitalization since the stockholders of mPathix owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock immediately following the completion of the transaction assuming that holders of 10% of the Public Shares exercise their conversion rights. mPathix was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of mPathix. As a result, Qualis was considered to be the continuation of the predecessor mPathix. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements are those of mPathix and are recorded at the historical cost basis of mPathix. Qualis’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of mPathix after consummation of the acquisition.

The Company currently operates in one business segment. The Company is not organized by market and is managed and operated as one business. A single management team reports to the chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, who comprehensively manages the entire business. The Company does not currently operate any separate lines of businesses or separate business entities.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,625,287 at December 31, 2022, had working capital of $184,696 and $714,055 at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, had a net loss of $920,515 and $1,732,116 for years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities of $558,426 and $792,844 or years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with no revenue earned since inception, and a lack of operational history. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

While the Company is attempting to expand operations and generate revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While management believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds or transact an asset sale, there can be no assurances to that effect or on terms acceptable to the Company. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.

 

The 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 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

F-8
 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include among others: common stock valuation, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property and equipment, the recoverability of intangibles. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

 

Cash

 

The Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the United States and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any cash losses.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under an asset and liability approach. This process involves calculating the temporary and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which would be recorded on the Balance Sheets in accordance with ASC 740, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income must be assessed and, to the extent that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. Changes in the valuation allowance in a period are recorded through the income tax provision in the consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s consolidated financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740-10 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company does not have a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

Advertising and marketing expenses are recorded as marketing expenses when they are incurred. The Company had no advertising and marketing expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses comprise costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including clinical trial costs, manufacturing costs for both clinical and pre-clinical materials as well as other contracted services, license fees, and other external costs. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity is performed or when the goods have been received, rather than when payment is made, in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development. The Company incurred research and development expense of $76,360 and $500,567 for years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes $429,677 of amortization associated with Intellectual Property License Agreement. The remaining Intellectual Property License Agreement was impaired as of December 31, 2021.

 

With respect to the current status of the patent, there has been no movement during the period ended December 31, 2022 and to date. The Company has a disagreement with the specific vendor and the project relating to collection of data, testing and filing the patent application has been kept on hold. The Company and the vendor are trying to resolve this disagreement, about achieving a particular milestone, which they expect to be completed later in fiscal 2023.

 

F-9
 

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consisted of professional service fees, and other general and administrative overhead costs. Expenses are recognized when incurred. General and administrative expenses were $596,232 and $922,182 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Deposits

 

Deposits consist of amounts paid to a vendor in advance to manufacture pain treatment products. Deposits as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $54,000 and $54,000, respectively. Deposits are included in current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. Fixed assets are examined for the possibility of decreases in value when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of intellectual property licensing costs. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis through the end of the licensing agreement of April 2022, however, based on the Company’s analysis of the Solace medical device, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets of $143,226 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company periodically evaluates whether the carrying value of property, equipment and intangible assets has been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value is not recoverable, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.

 

The Company’s impairment analyses require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows as well as asset fair values, including forecasting useful lives of the assets, assessing the probability of different outcomes, and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows. If the carrying value is not recoverable, we assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques, and may use more than one method, including, but not limited to, recent third-party comparable sales and discounted cash flow models. If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s assumptions and estimates, or the assumptions and estimates change due to new information, the Company may be exposed to an impairment charge in the future.

 

Based on the Company’s analysis of the Solace medical device, as of December 31, 2021, the Company reassessed the value of the Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD. Related to this assessment, management determined that the intellectual property used in the Solace device is different from the intellectual property in the Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets of $143,226 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and is classified in other expenses in the consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 825 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of December 31, 2022, there were no financial instruments requiring fair value.

 

F-10
 

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities

 

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. There were no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. There have been no transfers between levels.

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share

 

The computation of net profit (loss) per share included in the Statements of Operations, represents the net profit (loss) per share that would have been reported had the Company been subject to ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share as a corporation for all periods presented.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares (including common stock subject to redemption) plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the reporting period. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

Potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effects were anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method and because the Company incurred net losses during the period.

 

There were 1,610,000 and 1,218,830 dilutive securities outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These potential dilutive securities outstanding have not been considered as the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

Employee Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock based compensation issued to employees and members of our board of directors is measured at the date of grant based on the estimated fair value of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair value of a stock based award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period of the award on a straight-line basis.

 

For purposes of determining the variables used in the calculation of stock based compensation issued to employees, the Company performs an analysis of current market data and historical data to calculate an estimate of implied volatility, the expected term of the option and the expected forfeiture rate. With the exception of the expected forfeiture rate, which is not an input, we use these estimates as variables in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Depending upon the number of stock options granted any fluctuations in these calculations could have a material effect on the results presented in our consolidated statements of operations. In addition, any differences between estimated forfeitures and actual forfeitures could also have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation

 

Issuances of the Company’s common stock or warrants for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. Although situations may arise in which counter performance may be required over a period of time, the equity award granted to the party performing the service is fully vested and non-forfeitable on the date of the agreement. As a result, in this situation in which vesting periods do not exist as the instruments fully vested on the date of agreement, the Company determines such date to be the measurement date and will record the estimated fair market value of the instruments granted as a prepaid expense and amortize such amount to general and administrative expense in the accompanying statement of operations over the contract period. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates.

 

F-11
 

 

Non-Cash Equity Transactions

 

Shares of equity instruments issued for non-cash consideration are recorded at the fair value of the consideration received based on the market value of services to be rendered, or at the value of the stock given, considered in reference to contemporaneous cash sale of stock.

 

Concentrations, Risks, and Uncertainties

 

Business Risk

 

Substantial business risks and uncertainties are inherent to an entity, including the potential risk of business failure.

 

The Company is headquartered and operates in the United States. To date, the Company has generated no revenues from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital and failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Also, the success of the Company’s operations is subject to numerous contingencies, some of which are beyond management’s control. Currently, these contingencies include general economic conditions, price of components, competition, and governmental and political conditions.

 

Interest rate risk

 

Financial assets and liabilities do not have material interest rate risk.

 

Credit risk

 

The Company is not exposed to credit risk.

 

Seasonality

 

The business is not subject to substantial seasonal fluctuations.

 

Major Suppliers

 

The Company has not entered into any contracts that obligate it to purchase a minimum quantity or exclusively from any supplier.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2021-08 changes how acquiring companies recognize contract assets and contract liabilities in a business acquisition. Instead of measuring contract assets and contract liabilities at fair value as of the acquisition date, the acquirer will now measure them as if they had originated the contracts themselves (in accordance with Topic 606). This will improve comparability since the revenue reported by the acquirer after the acquisition will be similar to the revenue reported by the acquiree before the acquisition. The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2021-08 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, and expects the impact from this standard to be immaterial.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and had an immaterial impact from this standard.

 

F-12
 

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, Income Taxes, while also clarifying and amending existing guidance, including interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and had an immaterial impact from this standard.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This update permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

  

 

NOTE 4 –PROPERTY AND Equipment

 

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of:

 

SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

      December 31,   December 31, 
   Estimated Life  2022   2021 
            
Tooling  5 years   $82,530   $82,530 
Computer Equipment  3 years   1,787    1,787 
Accumulated depreciation      (45,059)   (27,957)
Total     $39,258   $56,360 

 

Depreciation expense was $17,102 and $16,953 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and is classified in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

NOTE 5 – SHORT TERM LOAN

 

On July 20, 2022, the Company entered into a loan to finance its directors and officer’s insurance policy effective June 28, 2022. The loan has a principal balance of $90,225, bears interest at 8.83% per annum, and is due and payable in nine monthly payments of $10,397. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company made repayments of $59,033 and has a balance of $31,192 at December 31, 2022.

 

NOTE 6 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LICENSE AGREEMENT

 

Prior License

 

We previously licensed from Life Care Medical Devices a number of patents in connection with the Prior Device, the predicate device which was marketed as the “BeBe” device, and which received 510(k) clearance from the FDA in March 2014. The granted indication for the BeBe device was “to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures.”

 

On August 28, 2019, our subsidiary, mPathix, entered into a Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD, licensing from LCMD certain patents, know how, trade secrets, 510(k) clearances and other property (the “Property”) previously transferred to LCMD by the Marchitto Entities (defined below) in accordance with an Asset Purchase Agreement and a separate Intellectual Property License Agreement dated November 10, 2015. Jim Holt who served as the sole officer and director of LCMD, is also one of our directors. mPathix had an exclusive license to reproduce, distribute, sell, lease, display and perform and otherwise use the Property (including the SOLACE medical device) for use in pain management as of the August 28, 2019 agreement. In consideration, mPathix issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock (1,878,955 shares issued to LCMD and 121,045 shares issued to an affiliate of LCMD) and paid $110,000 in cash to LCMD on or about on September 9, 2019, and mPathix was to pay continuing royalties to LCMD, with an initial royalty payment of 6.0% of the net revenues from pain application sales in each of the first twelve months, and lesser royalties thereafter based on annual device sales. No royalty payments have been made to or earned by LCMD since no revenues from medical device sales were generated.

 

F-13
 

 

On June 3, 2021, a Definitive License Agreement was signed by LCMD and mPathix in order to finalize the terms of the August 28, 2019 Preliminary License Agreement. The terms of the license with LCMD were contingent upon successful fulfilment of a court ordered resolution between LCMD and the original owners of the underlying intellectual property (the “Marchitto Entities”). LCMD was obligated to pay to the Marchitto Entities the sum of $2,400,000 on or before April 24, 2022, which has not occurred. Accordingly, we consider the license agreement to be expired, and we do not intend to renew the license agreement with LCMD or otherwise reacquire the intellectual property from the Marchitto Entities.

 

The Company is in the process of finalizing the SOLACE product design and is beginning to compile the data required to complete an application with the FDA. Further, given the substantial changes and modifications that we have identified for our device, the Company will seek to file provisional patents at the earliest possible date.

 

ASC 730-10-25-2(c), Intangible Assets Purchased From Others, requires a company to evaluate the technology acquired, and the applicable guidance for the determination of alternative future uses. mPathix determined, at the date of the acquisition of the technology, that it was acquiring an asset that represented a research and development (R&D) project that was still in the process of experimentation. The technology has additional potential future benefits including hyperhidrosis, stress bladder incontinence, and cosmetic indications. Therefore, the acquisition represented an asset by the Company.

 

The Intellectual Property License Agreement expired in April 2022 mPathix recorded $1,110,000 as an intangible asset and is being amortized on a straight-line basis thru the end of the licensing agreement of April 2022.

 

Based on the Company’s analysis of the Solace medical device, as of December 31, 2021, the Company reassessed the value of the Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD. Related to this assessment, management determined that the intellectual property used in the Solace device is different from the intellectual property in the Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets of $143,226 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and was classified in other expenses in the consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Intangible assets consisted of the following as of:

 

SCHEDULE OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

   Estimated life  December 31, 2022   December 31, 2021 
License Agreement  31 months   $-   $1,110,000 
Accumulated amortization      -    (966,774)
Impairment of license agreement             -    (143,266)
Intangible assets net     $-   $- 

 

The Company had amortization expense of $0 and $429,677 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

The Company has authorized 25,000,000 preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 with no preferred shares outstanding at December 31,2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

The Company has authorized 750,000,000 shares of par value $0.001 common stock, of which 8,475,950 and 8,239,950 shares are outstanding at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

Common Stock

 

On October 3, 2022, the Company issued a total of 36,000 restricted common shares to third parties, valued at $18,000 (based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant) for services rendered.

 

On July 20, 2022, the Company issued 200,000 common shares to an affiliate for aggregate gross proceeds of $100,000.

 

F-14
 

 

In July 2021, the Company issued 250,000 common shares to a related party valued at $125,000 (based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant) for services rendered.

 

In July 2021, the Company issued 5,000 common shares to a third party valued at $2,500 (based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant) for services rendered.

 

In June 2021, the Company issued 300,000 common shares to a third party for aggregate gross proceeds of $150,000.

 

In June 2021, the Company issued 200,000 common shares to a related party for aggregate gross proceeds of $100,000.

 

On June 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among mPathix Health, Inc. (formerly EMF Medical Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation) (“mPathix”) and Qualis. The closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) took place on June 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of mPathix. In exchange, the Company issued to the mPathix shareholder’s, their designees or assigns, an aggregate of 6,988,300 shares of Company’s common stock (the “Shares Component”) or 93.36% of the shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding after the Closing (the “Share Exchange”), at a valuation of $0.50 per share, and the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 1,098,830 shares (698,830 warrants issued to the Company’s previous CEO and 400,000 to CreoMed which is beneficially owned by Dr. Joseph Pergolizzi, the Company’s acting CEO and chairman of the board) of the Company’s common stock, exercisable for 10 years at a $0.50 per share exercise price, subject to adjustment. In connection with the closing of the mPathix acquisition, the officers and directors of mPathix were appointed as the officers and directors of the Company.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse merger’’ and recapitalization since the stockholders of mPathix owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock immediately following the completion of the transaction assuming that holders of 10% of the Public Shares exercise their conversion rights. mPathix was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of mPathix. As a result, Qualis was considered to be the continuation of the predecessor mPathix. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements are those of mPathix and are recorded at the historical cost basis of mPathix. Qualis’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of mPathix after consummation of the acquisition.

 

On June 29, 2021, the Company issued 900,000 common shares to Echo Resources LLP in conjunction with share agreement.

 

On June 29, 2021, the Company issued 496,650 common shares for the recapitalization of Qualis in conjunction with the reverse acquisition for a net book value of $0.

 

On February 14, 2021, the Company issued a total of 30,000 restricted common shares to members of its Board of Directors, valued at $15,000 (based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant) for services to be rendered in FY2021.

 

On February 11, 2021, the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares to third parties for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000.

 

Warrants

 

On February 14, 2021, the Company granted 400,000 warrants to purchase 400,000 of the Company’s common stock to CreoMed, Inc. (controlled by Dr. Joseph Pergolizzi, Acting CEO and Chairman of the Board) for consulting services, valued at $109,512 (based on the Black Scholes valuation model on the date of grant). The warrants are exercisable for a period of seven years at $0.50 per share in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a cashless exercise, and fully vest at grant date.

NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Other than as set forth below, and as disclosed in Notes 6, 7 and 10, there have not been any transaction entered into or been a participant in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

 

At December 31, 2022, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal and state income tax purposes totaling approximately $1,887,000 are available to reduce future income which under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2018, allows for an indefinite carryforward period, with carryforwards limited to 80% of each subsequent year’s net income. There is no income tax affect due to the recognition of a full valuation allowance on the expected tax benefits of future loss carry forwards based on uncertainty surrounding realization of such assets.

 

A reconciliation of the statutory income tax rates and the effective tax rate is as follows:

 

   Year Ended    Year Ended  
   December 31, 2022   December 31, 2021 
         
Statutory U.S. federal rate   21.0%   21.0%
State income tax, net of federal benefit   3.7%   3.7%
Permanent differences   0.0%   0.0%
Valuation allowance   (24.7)%   (24.7)%
Provision for income taxes   0.0%   0.0%

The tax effects of the temporary differences and carry forwards that give rise to deferred tax assets consist of the following:

 

   2022   2021 
   December 31, 
   2022   2021 
         
Deferred tax assets:

Deferred tax assets, net  $-   $- 

 

Major tax jurisdictions are the United States and Delaware All of the tax years will remain open three and four years for examination by the Federal and state tax authorities, respectively, from the date of utilization of the net operating loss. There are no tax audits pending.

 

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) computations.

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effects were anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method and because the Company incurred net losses during the period:

 

   2022   2021 
   For the Years Ended December 31, 
   2022   2021 
Options to purchase shares of common stock   120,000    120,000 
Warrants to purchase shares of common stock granted on February 14, 2021 to CreoMed, Inc.*   400,000    400,000 
Warrants to purchase shares of common stock granted on March 16, 2021 to Demir Bingol*   300,000    698,830 
Warrants to purchase shares of common stock granted on April 1, 2022 to CreoMed, Inc.   400,000    - 
Warrants to purchase shares of common stock   390,000    - 
Total potentially dilutive shares   1,610,000    1,218,830 

 

* The Company has cancelled and regranted these warrants to purchase 1,098,830 shares (698,830 warrants issued to the Ahmet Demir Bingol and 400,000 to CreoMed Inc.) of the Company’s common stock on June 29, 2021 in conjunction with the share exchange agreement.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal

 

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

 

Prior License

 

We previously licensed from Life Care Medical Devices a number of patents in connection with the Prior Device, the predicate device which was marketed as the “BeBe” device, and which received 510(k) clearance from the FDA in March 2014. The granted indication for the BeBe device was “to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures.”

 

On August 28, 2019, our subsidiary, mPathix, entered into a Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD, licensing from LCMD certain patents, know how, trade secrets, 510(k) clearances and other property (the “Property”) previously transferred to LCMD by the Marchitto Entities (defined below) in accordance with an Asset Purchase Agreement and a separate Intellectual Property License Agreement dated November 10, 2015. Jim Holt who served as the sole officer and director of LCMD, is also one of our directors. mPathix had an exclusive license to reproduce, distribute, sell, lease, display and perform and otherwise use the Property (including the SOLACE medical device) for use in pain management as of the August 28, 2019 agreement. In consideration, mPathix issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock (1,878,955 shares issued to LCMD and 121,045 shares issued to an affiliate of LCMD) and paid $110,000 in cash to LCMD on or about on September 9, 2019, and mPathix was to pay continuing royalties to LCMD, with an initial royalty payment of 6.0% of the net revenues from pain application sales in each of the first twelve months, and lesser royalties thereafter based on annual device sales. No royalty payments have been made to or earned by LCMD since no revenues from medical device sales were generated.

 

On June 3, 2021, a Definitive License Agreement was signed by LCMD and mPathix in order to finalize the terms of the August 28, 2019 Preliminary License Agreement. The terms of the license with LCMD were contingent upon successful fulfilment of a court ordered resolution between LCMD and the original owners of the underlying intellectual property (the “Marchitto Entities”). LCMD was obligated to pay to the Marchitto Entities the sum of $2,400,000 on or before April 24, 2022, which has not occurred. Accordingly, we consider the license agreement to be expired, and we do not intend to renew the license agreement with LCMD or otherwise reacquire the intellectual property from the Marchitto Entities.

 

ASC 730-10-25-2(c), Intangible Assets Purchased From Others, requires a company to evaluate the technology acquired, and the applicable guidance for the determination of alternative future uses. mPathix determined, at the date of the acquisition of the technology, that it was acquiring an asset that represented a research and development (R&D) project that was still in the process of experimentation. The technology has additional potential future benefits including hyperhidrosis, stress bladder incontinence, and cosmetic indications. Therefore, the acquisition represented an asset by the Company.

 

The Intellectual Property License Agreement expired in April 2022. mPathix recorded $1,110,000 as an intangible asset and is being amortized on a straight-line basis thru the end of the licensing agreement of April 2022.

 

F-19
 

 

Based on the Company’s analysis of the Solace medical device, as of December 31, 2021, the Company reassessed the value of the Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD. Related to this assessment, management determined that the intellectual property used in the Solace device is different from the intellectual property in the Preliminary License Agreement with LCMD. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets of $143,226 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and was classified in other expenses in the consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

The Company is not involved in any type of litigations or claims and also there is no lawsuit proceedings against the company due to development of its own medical device. During the years ended December 31, 2022, no such events occurred and hence the company has not determined provision for contingencies or contingent liabilities in the consolidated financial statements.

 

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

 

In June 2021, the board of directors of the Company authorized the adoption and implementation of the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The principal purpose of the 2021 Plan is to attract, retain and motivate employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its related companies by providing them the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to link their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of the Company’s shareholders. Under the 2021 Plan, an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have initially been reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock awards, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock and cash-based awards. The exercise price for each option may not be less than fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and shall vest as determined by the Company’s board of directors but shall not exceed a ten-year period.

 

Employment Agreement

 

On March 1, 2021, Mr. Ahmet Demir Bingol, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) entered into an Employment Agreement with the Company, with an effective date of March 16, 2021, in which he receives an annual base salary of $250,000, plus bonus compensation not to exceed 80% of salary. In addition, Mr. Bingol was granted 698,830 warrants to purchase 698,830 of the Company’s common stock, valued at $165,378 (based on the Black Scholes valuation model on the date of grant). The warrants are exercisable for a period of ten years at $0.50 per share in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a cashless exercise, and fully vest at grant date. Mr. Bingol’s employment also provides for medical insurance, disability benefits and one year of severance pay if his employment is terminated without cause or due to a change in control. Mr. Bingol’s compensation was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 1, 2021.

 

On September 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a modified Employment Agreement for Mr. Bingol which was subsequently signed on October 1, 2021. The modification resulted in changing Mr. Bingol’s position from CEO to President and in reducing Mr. Bingol’s base salary from $250,000 to $150,000 per year. In addition, his bonus plan was reset with a target bonus at fifty percent (50%) of Executive’s Base Salary, based upon the actual achievement of financial and other targets as established in the annual budget approved by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion. Further, on October 1, 2021, Mr. Bingol’s previously issued warrants were modified such that he will receive 300,000 warrants that vest immediately at an exercise price of $0.50 and 398,830 warrants that vest over a period of three years with an exercise price of $0.50. As a result, in accordance with ASC 718-20-35-2A and 718-20-35-3, immediately prior to the modification, the Company calculated the fair value of the warrants and determined that there was no change to the fair value. Subsequent to the modification, the Company will recognize a loss of $9,155 over the remaining three year vesting period.

 

On February 24, 2022, Mr. Bingol entered into a separation agreement whereby he will terminate his employment effective April 15, 2022. He received no severance payment and there were no disagreements between he or the Company. A total of 300,000 warrants have vested with the remaining 398,830 unvested warrants expiring. As a result of Mr. Bingol’s termination, the Company reversed the remaining warrant modification balance of $94,101 during the years ended December 31, 2022.
