QUANTA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020 (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Quanta, Inc. (the “Company”) is an applied science company focused on increasing energy levels in plant matter to increase performance within the human body. The Company’s operations are based in Burbank, California.

 

Basis of presentation-Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020 and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quanta Inc, and its 51% owned subsidiary, Medolife Rx, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,950,307 and used cash in operating activities of $3,216,914, and at September 30, 2021, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $4,798,703. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2020 financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

At September 30, 2021, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $22,262. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through the next six months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to, among others, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, impairment analysis of long-term assets, valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, assumptions used in valuing stock instruments issued for services, assumptions made in valuing derivative liabilities, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Product Sales—Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales. Product revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time.

 

License revenue— Revenue from symbolic IP is recognized over the access period to the Company’s IP (see Note 2).

 

Cost of goods sold includes direct costs and fees related to the sale of our products.

Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options

 

The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. The Company records the convertible note liability at its fixed monetary amount by measuring and recording a premium, as applicable, on the Note date with a charge to interest expense in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants, shares of common stock, and restricted stock unit awards, as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). Stock-based compensation cost for employees is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.

 

The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or restricted stock, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

 

Prepaid production costs

 

In February 2021, the Company’s subsidiary Medolife Rx entered into a collaboration and joint development agreement with a company (the “Agent) for Medolife to produce some of its products in the Agent’s facility. Medolife Rx agreed to pay the Agent $300,000 for the right to use the Agents production facility for a term of five years. Medolife Rx will also pay a production fee, as defined, to the Agent for any production. The Company determined that there is no distinct asset that it is purchasing from the Agent and will record amortization of the prepaid fee ratably over the life of the contract. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had paid the Agent the entire fee.

 

Advertising costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, advertising costs totaled $659,626 and $61,284, respectively.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, research and development costs totaled $348,500 and $306,544, respectively and includes salaries, benefits, and overhead costs of personnel conducting research and development of the Company’s products.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares used in the calculation of basic net loss per common share include vested but unissued shares underlying awards of restricted common stock. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the Company. In computing diluted loss per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding warrants and convertible notes are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Warrants and convertible notes may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents, e.g. stock options, warrants and convertible notes payable have been excluded from calculation of weighted average shares because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

 

As of September 30, 2021, convertible notes of $2,018,564 and accrued interest are convertible into 124,116,500 shares of common stock. It should be noted that contractually the limitations on the third-party notes (and the related warrant) limit the number of shares converted to either 4.99% or 9.99% of the then outstanding shares. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following:

 

   September 30, 2021   September 30, 2020 
Stock options   775,000    2,732,261 
Unvested restricted shares   1,375,000    4,500,000 
Convertible notes payable   124,116,500    61,171,291 
Total   126,266,500    68,403,552

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

 

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

Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.

 

The Company is required to use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

 

The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable, approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any Level 2 liabilities comprised of the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities.

 

Concentrations of risks

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, one customer accounted for 36% of revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, one customer accounted for 15% or more of revenue. As of September 30, 2020, one customer accounted for 17% of accounts receivable. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of revenue or accounts receivable.

 

As of September 30, 2021, two vendors accounted for 82% of accounts payable and no other vendor accounted for 10% or more of accounts payable. As of September 30, 2020, four vendors accounted for 11%, 17%, 14% and 14%, respectively of accounts payable. No other vendor accounted for 10% or more of accounts payable

 

The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC. At times, deposits held may exceed the amount of insurance provided by the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses in its cash and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

 

Segments

 

The Company operates in one segment for the development and distribution of our CBD products. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion accounting models. As a result, the Company’s convertible debt instruments will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. For contracts in an entity’s own equity, the type of contracts primarily affected by this update are freestanding and embedded features that are accounted for as derivatives under the current guidance due to a failure to meet the settlement conditions of the derivative scope exception. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the following changes resulted: (i) the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature recorded in 2020 was reversed as of the effective date of adoption, thereby resulting in an increase in the convertible debentures with an offsetting adjustment to additional paid in capital and (ii) interest expense recorded in 2020 that was related to the amortization of the discount related to the beneficial conversion feature was reversed against opening accumulated deficit. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021, resulted in a decrease in addition paid in capital of $823,655, a decrease to accumulated deficit of $320,602, and an increase in total stockholders’ deficit of $503,053.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

  (a)

In April 2020 and May 2020, the Company entered into two financing agreements aggregating $505,646. The notes have a stated interest rate of 10.9%. The notes were issued at a discount including fees for underwriting, legal and administrative costs along with deferred financing costs. The deferred financing costs are being amortized over the terms of the notes. The notes are secured by the Company’s equipment, and require monthly payments of principal and interest of $21,000, and mature in April 2022 and May 2022. At December 31, 2020, the balance due on these notes was $438,634. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company made principal payments of $225,759 and at September 30, 2021, the balance due on these notes was $212,875. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the unamortized discount related to deferred financing charges on these agreements was $53,667 and $74,817, respectively.

     
  (b) Note payable, interest at 8.3% per annum, secured by all the assets of the Company. The note was due January 13, 2019. The note was due January 13, 2019. The note holder waived the default through December 31, 2020, and it is currently in default and the Company is in discussion with the note holder to extend the balance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company made principal payments of $20,000 and at September 30, 2021, the balance due on this note was $13,350.

 

  (c) On May 7, 2020, the Company was granted a loan (the “PPP loan”) from Bank of America in the aggregate amount of $134,125, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the CARES Act. The PPP loan agreement is dated May 4, 2020, matures on May 4, 2022, bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred, is payable monthly commencing on November 2020, and is unsecured and guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The loan term may be extended to April 20, 2025, if mutually agreed to by the Company and lender. We applied ASC 470, Debt, to account for the PPP loan. Funds from the PPP loan may only be used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, including qualifying payroll costs, qualifying group health care benefits, qualifying rent and debt obligations, and qualifying utilities. The Company believes it used the entire loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses. The Company intends to apply for forgiveness of the PPP loan with respect to these qualifying expenses, however, we cannot assure that such forgiveness of any portion of the PPP loan will occur. The terms of the PPP loan provide for customary events of default including, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and insolvency events. The Company was in compliance with the terms of the PPP loan and has submitted its application for forgiveness as of September 30, 2021.
     
  (d) On September 5, 2020, the Company received a $160,000 loan (the “EID Loan”) from the SBA under the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program. The EID Loan has a thirty-year term and bears interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for twelve months, and commence in June 2021. The EID Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The proceeds from the EID Loan must be used for working capital. The Loan contains customary events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The Company was in compliance with the terms of the EID loan as of September 30, 2021.
     
  (e) Between July 7, 2020, and July 29, 2020, the Company issued notes payable to third-party investors totaling $250,000, of which $7,200 was repaid in 2020. Under the terms of the notes, the Company is to pay 50% of the net revenues beginning on August 21, 2020, for a product to be designed and produced by the Company. The product has not been produced and therefore no payments have been made to date. The Company has received a notice of default and demand for payment from three note holders (owed approximately $146,000). The Company has retained counsel who is in discussion with the note holders.

Our Company History

 

The company was founded in Nevada as Freight Solution, Inc. in 2016.

 

On June 5, 2018, we underwent a change of control. In connection with the change of control, our board of directors and officers was reconstituted through the resignation of Shane Ludington as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Registrant and the appointment of Mr. Eric Rice as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Jeffrey Doiron as President and Chief Operations Officer.

 

On June 6, 2018 we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Quanta Acquisition Corp. in the state of California, and executed an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, with Bioanomaly, Inc., a California corporation, d/b/a Quanta and Quanta Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Quanta Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Quanta in a statutory reverse triangular merger with Quanta surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary. Following the merger, we adopted our business plan.

 

On June 6, 2018, we cancelled 15,000,000 shares of common stock acquired through the change in control transaction. As consideration for the merger, we agreed to issue the shareholders of Quanta an aggregate of 21,908,810 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Freight Solution shareholders retained 6,500,000 shares of common stock, which represented 23% of our issued and outstanding stock following the merger.

On July 11, 2018 the State of Nevada approved our name change from Freight Solution, Inc. to Quanta, Inc.

 

On April 14, 2020, we issued to Eric Rice, our former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 2,500,000 shares of a newly created class of preferred stock, Series A Preferred Stock.

 

On November 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Control Block Transfer Agreement with Eric Rice and Phil Sands, pursuant to which, Mr. Rice agreed to transfer 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock to Mr. Sands, representing a transfer of majority voting control over the Company because the holder of such 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock automatically carries a vote equal to 51% on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock.

Medolife provides contract research services. The Company focuses on research, development, and production of pharmaceutical-grade products, as well as clinical evidence-based nutraceuticals utilizing patented polarization technology. Medolife Rx serves clients in the United States.

 

In 2007, Medolife began its venom-to-drug research and development concept. In 2008, Medolife identified the Rhopalurus princeps scorpion species, which are endemic to the Dominican Republic, as a possible candidate. The company entered into an agreement with the local Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources to investigate the anticancer properties of scorpion venom peptides. The Company’s research confirmed the anticancer properties of the peptide. That same year, Medolife registered its product, Escozine, in the Dominican Republic due to the prime material and preliminary studies originating from Dominican Republic. Escozine was registered under Sanitary Registry Number PN2010-0244 as an anti-tumoral alternative medicine in the Dominican Republic, which allowed the company to perform clinical studies and observations in the country.

 

Quanta, which entered the CBD pain-relief rub market (“Muscle Rub”), is only the first in a series of paradigm shift products to emerge from our labs. At the heart of its well-documented effectiveness is our proprietary “polarization” process, which uses electromagnetic force to markedly enhance bioactivity at the molecular level—a polarized active ingredient is more soluble and creates stronger bonds with the body’s receptors providing higher bioavailability. The company believes this natural solution has nearly limitless applications in the world of plant-based consumer products.

 

In early 2020, the company was preparing to apply to the FDA to initiate the approval process for Escozine as an orphan drug for pancreatic cancer. The Weinberg Group was hired as our regulatory compliance consultants for the FDA application and guidelines.

 

As the COVID-19 pandemic spread during the Spring of 2020, Medolife studied the scorpion venom peptide as a potential COVID-19 drug treatment and began confirming its antiviral properties. The company applied to the FDA as a Pre-Investigational New Drug (PIND), which accepted the application under PIND #150335. For PIND Submission and Clinical Trial Strategy in the United States and the Dominican Republic, Medolife has contracted Affinity Bio Partners as a consulting firm on FDA regulatory matters.

 

In August of 2020, Medolife initiated clinical studies at the Cruz Jiminian Clinic (Clinica Cruz Jiminian) in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, which is a clinic with a license allowing them to treat COVID-19 patients. The study included 450 COVID-19 patients. The observation contained more female than male patients, with 252 female and 198 male participants. Out of 450 participants, there was an even spread among the age groups, with a higher number in the 41-to-50-year-old group.

 

EFFICACY STUDY.

 

Escozine was used as a 3-pillar treatment: a Therapeutic, a Palliative, and a Preventative.

 

Therapeutic

 

  Escozine was used as a monotherapy
  All therapeutic participants were tested COVID-19 positive prior to observation.
  100% of patients were discharged with a negative COVID-19 test result within 7 to 10 days of treatment with Escozine.

 

Conclusion: Within 4-5 days, all COVID-19 patients using Escozine tested negative for the virus, indicating Escozine eliminated the COVID-19 virus or accelerated recovery.

 

Palliative

 

  COVID-19 positive patients report a dramatic decrease of symptoms within 2-4 days of Escozine treatments. The World Health Organization Quality of Life (“WHOQOL”) Bref quality of life questionnaire by the World Health Organization (WHO) was used since July 2020 to evaluating symptoms in patients, including:

 

  Shortness of breath
  Pain
  Fatigue
  Headache
  Loss of taste
  Fever
  Loss of smell (anosmia)

 

Conclusion: All participants reported significant improvement on all their COVID-19-related symptoms within 5 days, indicating that Escozine can be used to treat the symptoms of COVID-19.

 

Preventative

 

  Transmission of virus to treating physicians and nurses of COVID-19 patients is inhibited upon administering Escozine.
  Substantial reduction in infectability and spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

 

17
 

 

Conclusion: All hospital workers remained healthy during the clinical observation while taking Escozine, indicating that Escozine can be used as a preventative measure for COVID-19. The preventative capabilities require additional study.

 

SAFETY STUDY.

 

To verify the safety of using Escozine, patients were tested before and after treatment for:

 

  Hematology
  Clinical chemistry (Kidney and Liver function tests, Enzymes, Glucose, Calcium and Phosphorus)
  Urine
  CD4/CD8

 

Conclusion: No toxic response was observed in 100% of patients and no side-effects were reported, indicating that Escozine is safe to use for COVID-19 patients.

 

ADDITIONAL FINDINGS.

 

During the clinical study, Medolife observed that Escozine prevents Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) caused by COVID-19:

 

  During the clinical study, no deaths occurred.
  40% of the monitored COVID-19 patients who were administered Escozine, had serum creatinine that was higher than normal, indicating AKI before Escozine administration.
  After Escozine administration, most of the patient’s creatinine concentrations dropped or did not change.
  Overall, the frequency of patients that developed normal creatinine levels after Escozine administration was statistically significant (p<0.05).

 

    Medolife has received a new reply from the FDA on their latest submission of requested data. In the reply, the FDA:

 

  Stated that they acknowledge the Company’s clinical trial as an informal proof-of-concept study
  Laid out very specific guidelines for the next steps required by the regulatory body in order to garner approval for Escozine as a treatment for COVID-19, in which the FDA requested:

 

  Pharmacokinetic (PK) study, which Medolife has initiated in the United Kingdom.
  DNA toxicology study, for which Medolife is negotiating with a GLP certified laboratory in the United States.
  Additional Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) data from Medolife’s contract manufacturer, CURE Pharmaceutical Corporation.

 

R&D Expenses related to Escozine.

 

Over the last 24 months, the company has spent more than $533,000 on research and development related to Escozine as both a treatment of cancer and for COVID-19.

 

Quanta Basics

 

Quanta, Inc. (“Quanta”) is a cutting-edge technology platform whose patented, proprietary technology harnesses advances in quantum biology that can increase the potency of various ingredients. Currently, Quanta supports product formulations in pain management, anti-inflammation, skincare, agriculture, nutritional supplements, and plant-based consumables. Ultimately, Quanta’s mission is to deliver better, more effective ingredients to elevate product efficacy, reduce waste and facilitate healthier, more sustainable consumption.

 

The established resonance theory behind Quanta’s polarization process has many potential applications. Quanta believes this technology has the opportunity to upend how commercial products are made and the benefits from them. Already we see multi-trillion-dollar global industries benefiting from Quanta’s technology.

 

Our proof of concept, Quanta’s market-leading CBD pain-relief rub (“Muscle Rub”), is only the first in a series of paradigm shift products to emerge from our labs. At the heart of its well-documented effectiveness is our proprietary “polarization” process, which uses electromagnetic force to markedly enhance bioactivity at the molecular level—a polarized ingredient is more soluble and creates stronger bonds with the body’s receptors.

 

Quanta is involved in ambitious projects that we believe will reshape the next wave of climate science, sustainability, nutrition, and more. Having harnessed the technology of the future, Quanta is dedicated to bringing tomorrow’s health and wellness solutions to the billions in need today.

 

Proof of Concept

 

Creating, producing and selling consumer products was never our primary focus; Quanta’s Muscle Rub was simply a means to an end - proof of concept and a revenue driver in a small emerging market as our business model took shape. Fundamentally, Quanta will be a licensing concern designed to collaborate with large brands to improve product quality and the profit margins of existing and new products. But the market needed proof and we chose to start in the under-developed category of CBD because of its speed to market.

 

18
 

 

Understandably, we met the same initial hurdles every start-up encounters. In addition to simply explaining quantum mechanics, we had no track record of success from a business standpoint. The immediate goal was to prove our model was defensible. Hence, we chose CBD as a launch category. This market provided protection from industry titans that may have felt threatened by such a powerful technology while allowing us to drive profits during R&D.

 

Over the last two years, we have developed and sold products largely to the medical and wellness industries, along with some consumer retail. This effort was designed to drive revenue and to prove the concept of our model: that polarizing a single ingredient can produce a demonstrably superior product that consumers find safe and effective (establish consumer appetite).

 

Discovery Synopsys

 

Using our product development process and business-to-business and direct-to-consumer sales approaches as a benchmark for future business, we developed the Quanta business model. The company believes that its technology unique ability to strengthen ingredients renders them more potent without added chemicals or penetrating cells means Quanta is in a first-of-its-kind position in the market. As the world’s first company focused on Quantum Biology we sit in a strong, but unique position in the market.

 

Our ability to increase ingredient efficacy by up to 500% means we are in a rare position to truly disrupt many areas of material science.

 

Quanta’s technology renders products superior to any on the market today. A 30% re-purchase rate (on one SKU alone) illustrates consumer appetite for the product.

 

Upcoming products and ventures will be designed to achieve or surpass this level of consumer benefit and uptake.

 

Quanta Business Model in 3 P’s: Potentiation, Partners, and Profits

 

After two years we believe the best possible model for the long-term success of the company is collaborating with best-in-class partners through joint ventures for new verticals, products, and research. These joint ventures may involve a jointly owned special purpose entity or they may be entirely based on contractual obligations.

 

Our mission has never been to create the best novel products on the planet. Our mission has always been to revolutionize the way formulations are developed and how products perform. We seek to work with the best product makers in the world to positively impact as many industries as possible.

 

The unique ability to increase the ingredient and product performance opens the doors for major opportunities. Higher performing ingredients mean less is needed to make a strong impact (increased margins, increase overall efficacy). We proved this with our Muscle Rub, which uses approximately 1/3 the CBD of competing products with demonstrably improved results.

 

The level of potentiation delivered by Quanta allows our partners the unique ability to provide higher-performing products, lower material costs, more competitive pricing and increased profit margins. In short, our partners will be able to make better performing, more affordable products with a higher repeat purchase. This is true disruption and consumer utopia.

 

We aim to work with groups that specialize in manufacturing, marketing, selling and distributing existing product lines that utilize ingredients we can potentiate. Partners like this facilitate efficient market delivery of joint innovations.

 

We believe this strategy provides greater shareholder value, enhances revenue potential, defrays upfront expenses and affords us the ability to raise capital.

 

Ultimately, these ventures would result in licensing out our technology to other reputable brands and companies to create co-branded products whereas the term “Powered by Quanta” becomes as recognized as “Intel Inside.”

 

19
 

 

We believe this type of partnership will afford a company Quanta partners with:

 

  Development of emerging products with cutting edge ingredients.
     
  A product line with a true point of differentiation.
     
  New SKUs with an increased margin.
     
  Decreased cost of goods sold.

 

Simultaneously these partnerships can allow Quanta:

 

  Greater brand recognition.
     
  Increased revenue and in turn profitability.
     
  Quicker timeline to more licensing opportunities because of a track record of success.
     
  Brand to become synonymous with improving the performance of ingredients within products.

 

Manufacturing Partnerships -

 

Quanta is currently focused on partnering with large-scale manufacturers and distributors able to produce products that meet the requirements of applicable regulations IE: Good Manufacturing Practices to fulfill orders of our own product line. This type of partnership is crucial because it will afford:

 

  New product development that meets certification requirements
     
  Much larger production scale
     
  Speed to market
     
  Increased distribution and profitability

 

With our licensing capabilities, Quanta believes this technology can render better, more efficacious products that cost less to create but command a higher purchase value because of polarized ingredients. This, in turn, allows companies to diversify their catalog of products while simultaneously providing them with a distinguished advantage. More efficacious ingredients.

Government Regulation

 

We believe we are in compliance with applicable federal, state and other regulations and that we have compliance programs in place to ensure compliance going forward. There are no regulatory notifications or actions pending.

Liquidity

 

We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,950,307 and used cash in operating activities of $3,216,914, and at September 30, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,086,932. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2020 financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The going concern opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of new debt or equity securities, and future reports on our financial statements may also include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

At September 30, 2021, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $22,262. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. No assurance can be given that any future financing if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company can obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our financial statements including various allowances and reserves for accounts receivable and inventories, the estimated lives of long-lived assets and trademarks and trademark licenses, as well as claims and contingencies arising out of litigation or other transactions that occur in the normal course of business. The following summarizes our most significant accounting and reporting policies and practices:

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to, among others, impairment analysis of long-term assets, valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, assumptions used in valuing stock instruments issued for services, assumptions made in valuing derivative liabilities, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Product Sales—Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales. Product revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time.

 

License revenue— Revenue from symbolic IP is recognized over the access period to the Company’s IP (see Note 2).

 

Cost of goods sold includes direct costs and fees related to the sale of our products.

 

22
 

 

Stock Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants, shares of common stock, and restricted stock unit awards, as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). Stock-based compensation cost for employees is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of September 30, 2021 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

We identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses were: (i) we had an insufficient number of personnel appropriately qualified to perform control design, execution and monitoring activities; (ii) we did not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures, including written policies and procedures to ensure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; (iii) we had ineffective controls over our financial statement close and reporting process and did not provide reasonable assurance that accounts were complete and accurate and agreed to detailed support and that reconciliations of accounts were properly performed, reviewed and approved, (iv) we did not maintain effective controls over the recording and approval of recurring and non-recurring journal entries and (v) we had inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, we are a party to, or otherwise involved in, legal proceedings arising in the normal and ordinary course of business. On August 5, 2021, the Company received notice the Securities and Exchange Commission had commenced on investigation related to the Company and affiliated persons and entities. The Company is cooperating with the Commission. We are not aware of any other proceeding, threatened or pending, against us which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

The recent global coronavirus outbreak could harm our business and results of operations.

 

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, and has negatively impacted businesses, workforces, customers, and created significant volatility of financial markets. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, the length of restrictions and business closures, and the impact on capital and financial markets, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our products and harm our business and results of operations. In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic did impact our operating results as shipments to customers in the second quarter were down 13% from the first quarter of the year. However, we have not observed any material impairments of our assets or a significant change in the fair value of our assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, restrictions resulting from COVID-19 on general economic conditions could, among other things, impair our ability to raise capital when needed. This situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.
