NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

AVRA Medical Robotics, Inc. (the “Company” or “AVRA”) was incorporated as AVRA Surgical Microsystems, Inc. in the State of Florida on February 4, 2015. Effective November 5, 2015, the Company’s corporate name was changed to AVRA Medical Robotics, Inc. The Company was established to develop advanced medical surgical devices. The Company is structured to invest in four principal areas – surgical robotic systems, surgical tools, implantable devices and surgical robotic training.

The significant accounting policies of AVRA were described in Note 1 to the audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2019 Form 10-K”). There have been no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2019 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2020 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern. At September 30, 2020, the Company’s stockholders’ deficit was $6,771,908 which raises substantial doubt about the Company. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Management of the Company is making efforts to raise additional funding until a registration statement relating to an equity funding facility is in effect. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned operating activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity capital, or be successful in the development and commercialization of the products it develops or initiates collaboration agreements thereon. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. The Company regularly evaluates 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains its principal cash balance in a financial institution. These balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, $0 were in excess of the FDIC insured limit.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU and all subsequently issued clarifying ASUs replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The ASU also required expanded disclosures relating to the nature amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year. For these reasons, the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted guidance issued by the FASB regarding recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The revenue recognition policies as enumerated below reflect the Company’s accounting policies effective January 1, 2018, which did not have a materially different financial statement result than what the results would have been under the previous accounting policies for revenue recognition.

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method at rates determined to estimate the useful lives of the assets. The annual rates used in calculating depreciation is as follows:

Equipment -5 years straight-line

Intangibles

Intangible assets continue to be subject to amortization, and any impairment is determined in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” intangible assets are stated at historical cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a straight-line method of amortization, unless a method that better reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up can be reliably determined

The Company purchased existing Intellectual Property from the University of Central Florida. Management regularly assesses the carrying value of the intellectual property to determine if there has been any diminution of value.

Website

Website is recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 3 years.

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property Plant and Equipment”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to : significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset and current expectation that the asset will more than likely not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the discounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain circumstances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Stock Compensation Expense

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 505, “Equity.” Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by ASC Topic 505.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes.” Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10-05 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

In accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share,” basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share gives effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period, only in periods in which such effect is dilutive. The Company has stock options, warrants, and convertible promissory notes that may be converted to outstanding potential common shares.

Research and Development Costs

In accordance with ASC Topic 730 “Research and Development”, with the exception of intellectual property that is purchased from another enterprise and have alternative future use, research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist principally of accounts receivable, amounts due to related parties and promissory notes payable. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and promissory notes approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Compensation- Stock Compensation

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,” that provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The new guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and was applied on a prospective basis, as required. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements or the related disclosures.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under ASU 2016-02, lessors will account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing GAAP for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Unlike current guidance, however, a lease with collectability uncertainties may be classified as a sales-type lease. If collectability of lease payments, plus any amount necessary to satisfy a lessee residual value guarantee, is not probable, lease payments received will be recognized as a deposit liability and the underlying assets will not be derecognized until collectability of the remaining amounts becomes probable. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition. The Company did not adopt the standard effective January 1, 2019, utilizing the lessor practical expedient. On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 which amended the effective dates for ASC 842, to give implementation relief. Under the FASB’s new framework, two “buckets” were defined, bucket 1 includes public companies that are SEC filers but excludes “Small Reporting Companies” (SRC’s). Bucket 2 includes all other entities, including SRC’s. Bucket 2 entities have to apply ASC 842 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021.

NOTE 4 – PROMISSORY NOTES

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company borrowed $480,000 under 7.5% Convertible Promissory Note Agreements. The Notes were due September 30, 2017 and bore interest at 7.5%. The noteholders had agreed to extend the maturity to October 31, 2017. The notes were convertible into common stock of the Company at $0.50 per share in the event of a voluntary conversion on or before an optional prepayment or the maturity date, or (1) the lower of $0.50 or (2) a 20% discount to the effective price per share offering price in the event of a mandatory conversion upon consummation of a “Qualified Financing”, as defined. The Company had pledged all assets as security for the notes. In the event of default, the notes would bear interest at 12% per annum.

Based upon the Company’s funding of $542,260, a Qualified Financing, a mandatory conversion of the $480,000 in principal of Convertible Notes was triggered. The $480,000 in principal plus accrued interest were converted into 960,000 common shares and three-year Warrants to purchase 144,000 common shares at $1.25 per share.

Also on December 31, 2018, the Company borrowed an additional $15,000, with interest payable annually at 4%, maturing on December 31, 2019. This note was paid in full on January 7, 2020.

On March 11, 2019, the Company borrowed $25,000 under a promissory note bearing an annual interest rate of 5% and which matures on September 11, 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30., 2020, 37,500 warrants were valued at $51,740 and expensed as stock compensation.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s deferred tax assets at September 30, 2020 consist of net operating loss carry forwards of $3,558,582. Using a new federal statutory tax rate of 21%, the valuation allowance balance as of September 30, 2019 total of $747,302. The increase in the valuation allowance balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $74,731 is entirely attributable to the net operating loss.

Due to the uncertainty of their realization, no income tax benefits have been recorded by the Company for these loss carry forwards as valuation allowances have been established for any such benefits. The increase in the valuation allowance was the result of increases in the net operating losses discussed above. Therefore, the Company’s provision for income taxes is $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase within the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations.

NOTE 7 – 2016 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

On August 1, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of options to employees, directors, consultants and advisors to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Board is responsible for administration of the Plan. The Board determines the term of each option, the option exercise price, the number of shares for which each option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable. Incentive stock options may be granted to any officer or employee at an exercise price per share of not less than the fair market value per common share on the date of the grant. On August 1, 2019, the Board increased the plan to 10,000,000 shares of common stock and in July 2022 increased the plan to 20,000,000 shares of common stock.

For options granted October 1, 2017, the following factors were used: volatility 45.07%; expected term of 3 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and exercise price of $1.25 per share.

For options granted July 1, 2018, the following factors were used: volatility 31.34%; expected term of 3 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and exercise price of $1.25 per share.

For options granted May 1, 2018, the following factors were used: volatility 62.16%; expected term of 3 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and exercise price of $1.25 per share.

On July 1, 2018 options for 75,000 shares were issued to our Counsel for services rendered totaling $21,000. These shares are vested immediately and expire on July 1, 2023. The exercise price is $1.25.

For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 210,000 and -0- options were exercised, respectively. Non-vested Options for 97,639 shares were forfeited during March 2018.

On December 1, 2019, the Company granted to its majority shareholder options to purchase 750,000 common shares of the Company at an exercise price per share will be $1.00. All shares will immediately vest, and the Option will expire five years from the date of issuance.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018 options representing 3,486,667 shares and 2,243,250 shares were vested or exercisable, respectively.

All options issued to-date expire after five years from the issue date. Except for the options for 8,930,000 shares issued to the CEO,to the Company’s counsel for 115,000 shares, to the Company’s Chief Medical Officer for 500,000, to the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer for 500,000 shares and to a consultant for 3,820,000 that vested immediately, all the options issued to date vest over three years.

Stock options are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation –Stock Compensation, with option expense amortized over the vesting period based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model fair value on the grant date, which includes a number of estimates that affect the amount of expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, $223,418 and $841,455, respectively, for stock based compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, $508,850 and $1,274,155, respectively, of expensed stock options has been recorded as stock-based compensation and classified in general and administrative expense on the Statement of Operations. The total amount of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options was $241,712 as of September 30, 2020. This amount will be recognized over a period of 33 months expiring June 30, 2023.

The grant date fair value of options granted during the year of 2018 and 2019 were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: For options granted May 1, 2018, the following factors were used; volatility 62.16%; expected term of 3 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and exercise price of $1.25 per share. For options granted July 1, 2018, the following factors were used; volatility 31.34%; expected term of 3 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and exercise price of $1.25 per share.

For options granted February 1, 2019: Volatility 50.58%, term 3yrs, risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and exercise price of $2.00 per share.

For options granted April 1, 2019: Volatility 48.52%, term 3yrs, risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and exercise price of $1.25 per share.

For options granted August 1, 2019: Volatility 62.43%, term 3yrs, risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and exercise price of $2.00 per share.

For options granted October 1, 2019: Volatility 48.57%, term 3yrs, risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and exercise price of $2.00 per share.

For options granted December 1, 2019: Volatility 61.91%, term 3yrs, risk-free interest rate of 2.00%, dividend yield of 0% and exercise price of $1.00 per share.

The grant date fair value of options granted during the year of 2020 were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: For the options granted March 1, 2020 the fair market value is $0.45, exercise $0.25, rate 2%, and volatility 39.73%.

Option values are calculated using Black Scholes with the following inputs: expected volatilities are based on the average volatilities of six similar companies; fair market values are calculated using the implied share values of recent company financings or OTC closing prices for that day, whichever is more suitable; risk-free rate used was 2%.

NOTE 9 – OTHER MATTERS

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES act was enacted as a response to the COVID-19 outbreak discussed above and is meant to provide companies with economic relief.  The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.

Overview

We are a medical robotics company developing a fully autonomous medical robotic system using proprietary software which integrates Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and Deep Learning, or machine learning, (“DL”). By using an AI and DL enhanced software program, we are creating an intelligent robotic system that we believe can “robotize” a wide range of medical procedures currently being performed by human hands. We are concentrating our research and development efforts to meet rising expectations of patients and practitioners alike for the precision, safety and speed offered by an AI enhanced robotics platform system that can be combined with proven medical devices, end-effectors and surgical instruments.

We believe that progress in mechanical and software engineering has made possible lightweight and relatively inexpensive robotic devices for difficult procedures in various medical fields. Medical robots are already being successfully employed in several areas of surgery, including Urology (Prostate), Colo-Rectal, Gynecology, Thoracic, General Surgery, Orthopedics, and Neuro and Spine Surgery. Robots are also being used for Telemedicine and assistive robotic methods are addressing the delivery of healthcare in inaccessible locations, ranging from rural areas lacking specialist expertise to post-disaster scenarios, and battlefield areas. With the aging population dominating demographics in the U.S. across all spectrums of healthcare, robotic technologies are being developed toward promoting improved function, lower morbidity and improved overall outcomes.

We are developing a treatment-independent autonomous robotics system utilizing our proprietary AI-driven precision guidance system, applicable to a variety of minimally and non-invasive procedures, with an initial focus on skin resurfacing aesthetic procedures utilizing several FDA approved skin enhancing techniques robotized for superior performance and optimal results. Our medical robotic system is being developed to deliver skin resurfacing treatments, such as micro-needling and laser therapies with improved efficiency, accuracy and precision over current procedures conducted by human hand, and only requiring the doctor to input or just confirm treatment parameters. As a result, use of our medical robotic system is expected to provide improved quality and safety as well as improve patient throughput and workflow.

Our autonomous medical robotics system is being developed to be compatible with available FDA approved surgical tools and end-effectors, enabling us to initially penetrate a sizable and fast-growing aesthetics market, which includes micro-needling and laser solutions. Our robotics system will allow doctors, and anyone permitted to treat patients, defined at the State level, such as a licensed aesthetician, to treat damaged skin autonomously by delivering, for example, micro-needling to the skin. The micro-needling catalyzes the natural process of collagen remodeling, consisting of formation of new collagen, elastin, and vascularization in the papillary dermis, similar to the effect of laser treatments.

We expect our robotic system to eliminate many of the common errors that occur during handheld procedures, such as over- or under- exposure of the needles or energy-based instruments that can have terrible cosmetic results and even injure the patient. In addition, our system is being designed to continuously adjust treatment parameters, such as penetration depth, time, and energy in order to individualize the outcome based on our algorithms.

Our robotic system has been designed and developed through a seamless collaboration of the surgeon, the engineer and the scientist. Since the medical robotic industry has progressed greatly in miniaturization, adaptability and lower costs, we believe that the Avra “brains” technology component can lead to dramatic opportunities in all of medicine.

The advantages of robotizing already FDA approved aesthetic devices are many. In contrast to a human using a handheld device, our aesthetics robotic system has the potential to perform each and every procedure with unsurpassed precision without constraint of age, proficiency, experience or fatigue. Likewise, in many skin related treatments the amount of energy delivered, distance and/or depth of the instrument to, or into, the skin, and treating only the affected area are critical to the outcome. The robotic system can maintain these parameters with unparalleled accuracy. The system can also replicate the same procedure time and again precisely. Delivery of certain aesthetic treatments by robotic systems is believed to be the most efficient option, requiring fewer visits per patient while increasing patient throughput — a benefit for patients and practitioners alike.

Advantages of using our medical robotic approach to procedures include:

We believe that our initial medical robotic system for the aesthetics market should find rapid acceptance based on the aforementioned advantages of using the attribute of robotics versus traditional manual applications. Furthermore, there is general acceptance by consumers for fee-for-service cash payments in the facial aesthetics market thereby avoiding medical insurance reimbursement issues.

Our medical robotic system utilizes a robotic arm that has 7-degrees of freedom integrated with our proprietary AI-driven control software and algorithms. The robotic arm was designed and built under the required medical device standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). Our strategy is to integrate the robotic arm with FDA approved devices, which is expected to allow for a more expedited approval of the integrated system. We believe that the FDA approval process will primarily focus upon validation of the medical robotic system’s software control. This could lead to a less onerous, more de-risked regulatory path to approval, particularly if strong preclinical results are achieved. Subsequent to the completion of the FDA preclinical work, estimated to take six months, we believe that we will be able to additionally modify and robotize certain non-invasive instruments that do not require FDA approvals and proceed to the cosmetic treatments marketplace. This action could sharply reduce the time to commercial operations and revenues.

We previously retained the services of The Horizon Phoenix Group (“HPG”), a consulting firm experienced in securing U.S. and foreign regulatory approvals for medical devices, in order to initiate the regulatory process. Working with HPG, we prepared and filed an application with the FDA for our initial medical robotic system and in August 2019 held an initial pre-collaboration meeting with the FDA. We believe that this is the first of a series of meetings where the Avra system and its regulatory requirements will be discussed in ever-increasing specificity. This should allow for a more focused regulatory process, saving both resources and time. The robotic arm that we intend to utilize for our system has already been granted approval in the EU and received a CE mark. We have begun implementing a quality and regulatory system that will serve as the foundation for U.S., Canadian, European, Australian, Japanese, and Brazilian market access for our medical robotic system. The Medical Device Single Audit Program(“MDSAP”), which we plan to employ, is a single inspection that, when completed, is expected to support market access to these six most important medical device marketplaces.

Since 2016, we had a research partnership with the University of Central Florida (“UCF”) to develop a prototype intelligent medical robotic system. UCF is recognized particularly for its work in the area of medical robotic research and design, with a focus on the guidance systems. Avra has paid UCF a one-time fee for outright ownership of work developed by UCF in the collaboration. The Research Agreement was extended several times and expired on April 30, 2021. To further the depth of our research and development we also began a partnership in 2021 with Florida Polytechnic University and are actively working with them on developing our system. Avra recently brought in two Associate Professors and a graduate to join Avra’s engineering development team. Effective October 11^th, 2021 Avra executed a Sponsored Student Project Agreement which included two payments of $8,030 each covering Fall semester in 2021 and Spring semester in 2022.

On September 10, 2019, we entered into a collaborative research and development agreement with Infinite Mind, LLC, now known as Avra Air, LLC (“Avra Air”). Avra Air is in the business of developing computerized systems for robot operation and automation employing software and AI for applications in various industries and has more recently expanded to the development of air sanitizing devices to help address such pathogens as COVID-19. Our CEO is also an owner of Avra Air. Avra Air, with the use of Avra’s facilities and cooperation of Avra personnel, will seek to develop software and AI systems for robots that are relevant to the field of medical treatment or diagnostics. As part of the collaboration, Avra Air has granted Avra an exclusive, worldwide, full paid-up, perpetual, royalty-free license to commercialize any technology (including any patents) developed by Avra Air individually or jointly with Avra during the term of the agreement as well as existing technology of AVRA AIR in the field of medical robotics. This license survives termination of the agreement.

On November 6, 2020, AVRA made an investment of $210,000 in Avra Air which was made with $40,000 in cash and the balance by the issuance to Avra Air of 472,222 restricted shares of our common stock valued at $0.36 per share. In exchange for the investment. Avra received (a) a 49.8% limited liability company membership interest in Avra Air; and (b) the remaining 50% of a vehicular air sterilization provisional patent that Avra did not yet control. In addition, Avra also agreed to pay Avra Air a royalty payment of $1.50 per vehicular air sterilization kit for two years from the date that a first kit that uses the patent is sold. On December 22, 2020, the Company issued 472,222 shares of its common stock towards the acquisition of its interest in Avra Air. Avra Air has recently built a prototype portable air de-contaminant system which it plans to market soon.

Our senior leadership team and advisory boards have broad and deep experience in clinical practice, medical research, innovation and development in the medical robotics field. We believe that our team, which has been active in the medical robotics field for many years, brings the necessary skills and experience to develop and commercialize intelligent medical robotic systems, as well as in marketing, supply chain management, and the implementation of all other aspects of our planned business operations.

We believe we can rapidly develop and commercialize its initial medical robotic system in the aesthetic skin resurfacing market because of the following advantages and progress made to date, including:

Results of Operations

Introduction

The financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company was recently formed and has not established sufficient operations or revenues to sustain the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The following table provides selected balance sheet data for our Company at September 30, 2020 (unaudited) and December 31, 2019:

To date, the Company has relied on debt and equity raised in private offerings and shareholder loans to finance operations and no other sources of capital has been identified. If we experience a shortfall in operating capital, we could be faced with having to limit our research and development activities.

Three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to three months ended September 30, 2019

Revenues. We had no revenues during either the three months ended September 30, 2020 or the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $-0-, as compared to $4,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Research and development expenses reflect continuing development work on the Company’s prototype robotic system at its facilities at UCF’s incubator in Orlando, Florida.

General and Administrative Expenses. We incurred $375,213 and $1,386,465 in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. General and administrative expenses include compensation for the management staff, legal and other professional expenses related to the Company’s filings as a public company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s 2016 Stock Incentive Plan.

Other Income/Expenses. We had $313 of other expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2020 consisting of interest expense related to loans. This is compared to other expenses of $6,494 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, consisting of $6,493 in interest expense offset by $2 in interest earned.

Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $375,526 or $0.02 per share (based on 22,092,752 weighted average shares outstanding) for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to a net loss of $1,397,547 or $0.06 per share (based on 21,728,957 weighted average shares outstanding) for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in net loss from the 2019 quarter to the 2020 quarter is in large part due to decreases in stock-based compensation expense.

Nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2019

Revenues. We had no revenues during either the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $2,000, as compared to $56,374 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Research and development expenses reflect continuing development work on the Company’s prototype robotic system at its facilities at UCF’s incubator in Orlando, Florida.

General and Administrative Expenses. We incurred $899,872 and $2,261,428 in general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. General and administrative expenses include compensation for the management staff, legal and other professional expenses related to the Company’s filings as a public company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s 2016 Stock Incentive Plan.

Other Income/Expenses. We had $969 of other expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisting of interest expense related to loans. This is compared to other expenses of $14,136 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, consisting of $14,142 in interest expense offset by $6 in interest earned.

Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $527,316 or $0.04 per share (based on 22,090,673 weighted average shares outstanding) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to a net loss of $2,331,938 or $0.11 per share (based on 21,427,290 weighted average shares outstanding) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in net loss from the 2019 period to the 2020 period is in large part due to decreases in stock-based compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company expects to require substantial funds for research and development, to continue to develop, secure marketing approval for and ultimately manufacture and market its initial medical robotic system. Until the Company is able to generate revenues from the sale of its initial medical robotic system, it expects to meet its operating cash flow requirements from the net proceeds of this Offering and if necessary, from future public or private sales of its securities and, if possible, on favorable terms, by entering into development partnerships to assist the Company with its technology development activities.

During the period from inception (February 4, 2015) through September 30, 2020, the Company raised (a) $1,900 from an initial private offering of its common stock in February 2017; (b) $480,000 from the private offering of the convertible notes completed in September 2017; (c) $135,000 from a private offering of 135,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share completed in February 2017; (d) $542,260 from a private offering of 433,808 shares of stock in a private offering at a price of $1.25 per share completed in September 2017; and (e) $20,000 from the private sale of 16,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.25 per share in August 2018.

In March 2019, the Company sold 7.5 Units in a private offering of ten (10) units (“Units”), each Unit consisting of a $10,000 principal amount nine-month promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 5% per annum and a three-year warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share.

In addition to the foregoing, from December 2018 thru September 2020, the Company obtained fourteen loans from Barry F. Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer totaling $468,500. The loans were due 12 months from funding date and did not bear interest. With the exception of two loans totaling $145,000, all of these loans were subsequently repaid in full via conversions into restricted company shares or Units including one loan for $100,000 which was used to exercise a stock option for 1,000,000 shares held by Mr. Cohen.

While we have been successful in raising funds to fund our operations since inception and we believe that we will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations going forward, we do not have any committed sources of funding and there are no assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, if the efforts noted above are not successful, it would raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot obtain financing, then we may be forced to further curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives. Even if we are successful in raising the additional financing, there is no assurance regarding the terms of any additional investment and any such investment or other strategic alternative would likely substantially dilute our current shareholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates included deferred revenue, costs incurred related to deferred revenue, the useful lives of property and equipment and the useful lives of intangible assets.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws.  Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year.  In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies.  If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required.  Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit.  For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risks.

As a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, as our principal executive, financial and accounting Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2020, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, as our principal executive, financial and accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, as our principal executive, financial and accounting officer, has concluded that as of September 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described in Item 9A(b) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, as our principal executive, financial and accounting officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officer has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
