BIOXYTRAN, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION

 

Business Operations

 

Bioxytran, Inc. (the “Company”) is an early-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacture and commercialization of therapeutic drugs designed to address hypoxia in humans, which is a lack of oxygen to tissues, in a safe and efficient manner. If it is not addressed, lack of oxygen to tissues, or hypoxia, results in necrosis, which is the death of cells comprising body tissue. Necrosis cannot be reversed. Our lead drug candidate, code named BXT-25, is an oxygen-carrying small molecule consisting of bovine hemoglobin stabilized with a co-polymer with intended applications to include treatment of hypoxic conditions in the brain resulting from stroke, and hypoxic conditions in wounds to prevent necrosis and to promote healing. The Company’s initial focus is the treatment of hypoxic conditions in the brain resulting from stroke, and hypoxic conditions in wounds to prevent necrosis and to promote healing. Our novel approach is intended to result in the creation of safe drug alternatives to existing therapies for effectively addressing hypoxic conditions in humans. Our drug development efforts are guided by specialists in co-polymer chemistry and other disciplines, and we intend to supplement our efforts with input from a scientific and medical advisory board whose members are leading physicians.

 

Organization

 

Bioxytan, Inc. was organized on October 5, 2017 as a Delaware corporation, with a taxing structure for U.S. federal and state income tax as a C-Corporation with 95,000,000 authorized common shares with a par value of $0.0001, and 5,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001. On September 21, 2019, the Company went under a reorganization in form of a reverse merger and is currently registered as a Nevada corporation with a taxing structure for U.S. federal and state income tax as a C-Corporation with 300,000,000 authorized common shares with a par value of $0.001, and 50,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.001

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements. The Company has not earned any revenue from operations since inception. The Company chose December 31st as its fiscal year end.

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

 

Pursuant to the authoritative guidance, basic net income and net loss per share are computed by dividing the net income and net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income and net loss per share is the same as basic net income and net loss per share when their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect due to our continuing net losses.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bioxytran, Inc. a Nevada Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Bioxytran, Inc. of Delaware (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $633 and a negative working capital of $2,092,530. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not yet generated any revenues, and has incurred cumulative net losses of $3,912,439. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is aware that its current cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund its projected operating requirements through the month of December 2020, and is pursuing alternative opportunities to funding.

 

The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

 

The Company is supplementing its disclosure previously disclosed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the following disclosure: Potential Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic in December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus (now commonly known as COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread rapidly throughout many countries, and, on March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many countries, including the United States, Canada and China, have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, and there have been business closures and a substantial reduction in economic activity in countries that have had significant outbreaks of COVID-19. COVID-19 may have a future material impact on our results of operation with respect to product development and clinical trials. However, significant uncertainty remains as to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, and on the global economy as a whole. It is currently not possible to predict how long the pandemic will last or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to prior levels. We do not yet know the full extent of any impact on our business or our operations, however, we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely, and we intend to follow health and safety guidelines as they evolve.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

As long as the following convertible notes remain outstanding, the Company is restricted from incurring any indebtedness or liens, except as permitted (as defined), and cannot amend its charter in any matter that materially effects rights of noteholders, repay or repurchase more than de minimis number of shares of common stock other than conversion or warrant shares, repay or repurchase all or any portion of any indebtedness, or pay cash dividends.

 

Auctus Note #1

 

On October 24, 2019 (the “Date of Issuance”) the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Auctus Note #1”) with a face value of $250,000, maturing on October 23, 2020, and a stated interest of 8% to a third-party investor. The Auctus Note #1 is convertible into common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at any time after the earlier of: (i) 180 days from the date of the Auctus Note #1, or (ii) upon effective date of a registration statement. The conversion price of the Auctus Note #1 is equal to the lesser of : (i) the lowest trading price for the twenty-day period prior to the date of the Auctus Note #1 or (ii) 65% of the average of the three lowest trading prices during the twenty days prior to a conversion notice on the applicable trading market or the closing bid price on the applicable trading market. The Auctus Note #1 was funded on October 29, 2019, when the Company received proceeds of $222,205, after disbursements for the lender’s transaction costs, fees and expenses which in aggregate resulted in a total discount of $27,795 to be amortized to interest expense over the life of the Auctus Note #1.

 

Additionally, the variable conversion rate component requires that the Auctus Note #1 be valued at its stock redemption value (i.e., “if-converted” value) pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, with the excess over the undiscounted face value being deemed a premium to be added to the principal balance and amortized to additional paid-in capital over the life of the Auctus Note #1. As such, the Company recorded a premium of $343,796 as a reduction to additional paid-in capital based on a discounted “if-converted” rate of $0.21 per share (65% of the average of the three lowest trading prices during the 20 days preceding the note’s issuance), which computed to 1,211,828 shares of ‘if-converted’ common stock with a redemption value of $593,796 due to $0.49 per share fair market value of the Company’s stock on the Auctus Note #1’s date of issuance. Debt discount amortization is recorded as interest expense, while debt premium amortization is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

Along with the Auctus Note #1, on the Date of Issuance the Company issued 208,333 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”), exercisable immediately at a fixed exercise price of $0.60 with an expiration date of October 23, 2023.  The Company has determined that the Warrants are exempt from derivative accounting and were valued at $101,937 on the Date of Inception using the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model.  Assumptions used for the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model include (1) stock price of $0.49 per share, (2) exercise price of $0.60 per share, (3) term of 5 years, (4) expected volatility of 251% and (5) risk free interest rate of 2.51%.  The note proceeds of $250,000 were then allocated between the fair value of the Auctus Note #1 ($250,000) and the Warrants ($101,937), resulting in a debt discount of $72,412. As the warrants were exercisable immediately, this debt discount was amortized in its entirety to interest expense on the Date of Issuance. Upon cashless conversion on March 12, 2020 an additional 166,667 warrants were issued for a market value of $66,363.

 

The Auctus Note #1 was paid off on October 24, 2019, and the warrants were exercised on March 12,2020 

 

Auctus Note #2

 

On February 25, 2019, the Company entered into a $250,000 Senior Secured Promissory Note (“the Auctus Note #2”), dated February 25, 2019 at an interest rate of 8% per annum, maturing on February 24, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). Issuance fees totaling $27,750 were recorded as a debt discount, resulting in net proceeds of $222,250. The Auctus Note #2 is convertible into common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at any time after the earlier of: (i) 180 days from the date of the Auctus Note #2 or (ii) upon effective date of a new registration statement. The conversion price of the Auctus Note #2 is equal to the lesser of : (i) the lowest trading price for the twenty-day period prior to the date of the Auctus Note #2 or (ii) 65% of the average of the three lowest trading prices during the twenty days prior to a conversion notice on the applicable trading market or the closing bid price on the applicable trading market. The Company may prepay the Auctus Note #2 at any time at a rate of 120% of outstanding principal and interest during the first 90 days it is outstanding and 130% of outstanding principal and interest for the next 90 days thereafter. Thereafter the prepayment amount increases 5% for each thirty-day period until 270 days from the issue date at which time it is fixed at 150% of the outstanding principal and interest on the Auctus Note #2.

 

Additionally, the variable conversion rate component requires that the Auctus Note #2 be valued at its stock redemption value (i.e., “if-converted” value) pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, with the excess over the undiscounted face value being deemed a premium to be added to the principal balance and accreted to additional paid-in capital over the life of the Auctus Note #2. As such, the Company recorded a premium of $82,500 as a reduction to additional paid-in capital based on a discounted “if-converted” rate of $0.20 per share (lowest trading price during the 20 days preceding the note’s issuance), which computed to 1,250,000 shares of ‘if-converted’ common stock with a redemption value of $332,500 due to $0.266 per share fair market value of the Company’s stock on the Auctus Note #2’s date of issuance. Debt discount amortization is recorded as interest expense, while debt premium accretion is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. For the nine months ending at September 30, 2020, the Company amortized $4,647 debt discount to operations as interest expense, and accreted $24,121 of premium to additional paid-in capital.

 

Along with the the Auctus Note #2, on the Date of Issuance the Company issued 208,333 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”), exercisable immediately at a fixed exercise price of $0.60 with an expiration date of February 24, 2024.  The Company has determined that the Warrants are exempt from derivative accounting and were valued at $55,417 on the Date of Inception using the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model.  Assumptions used for the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model include (1) stock price of $0.27 per share, (2) exercise price of $0.60 per share, (3) term of 5 years, (4) expected volatility of 323% and (5) risk free interest rate of 2.56%.  The Auctus Note #2 proceeds of $250,000 were then allocated between the fair value of the Auctus Note #2 ($250,000) and the Warrants ($55,417), resulting in a debt discount of $45,361. As the warrants are exercisable immediately, this debt discount was amortized in its entirety to interest expense on the Date of Issuance. Upon cashless conversion on March 12, 2020 an additional 166,667 warrants were issued for a market value of $66,364.

 

The Auctus Note #2 was paid off on February 20, 2020, and the warrants were exercised on March 12,2020.

In the period January 1 to March 18, 2020 the Company entered into five contracts totaling $356,100 Senior Secured Promissory Note (“the Notes”), at an interest rate of 4-8% per annum, maturing in one year from issuance (the “Maturity Date”). Issuance fees totaling $50,100 were recorded as a debt discount, resulting in net proceeds of $306,000. The Notes are convertible into common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at any time after the earlier of: (i) 180 days from the date of the Notes or (ii) upon effective date of a new registration statement. The conversion price of the Notes is equal to the lesser of : (i) the lowest trading price for the twenty-day period prior to the date of the Notes or (ii) 65% of the average of the three lowest trading prices during the twenty days prior to a conversion notice on the applicable trading market or the closing bid price on the applicable trading market. The Company may prepay the Notes at any time at a rate of 120% of outstanding principal and interest during the first 90 days it is outstanding and 130% of outstanding principal and interest for the next 90 days thereafter. Thereafter the prepayment amount increases 5% for each thirty-day period until 270 days from the issue date at which time it is fixed at 150% of the outstanding principal and interest on the Notes.

 

The Company also issued five-year warrants with cashless exercise provisions to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.00 per share with cashless exercise provisions. For the nine months ending at September 30, 2020, the Company issued 72,000 warrants, resulting in an amortized debt discount of $12,711. There were no warrants issued in the three-month period ending at September 30, 2020.

On April 16, 2020, SEC ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading of BIXT is suspended for the period April 16 through April 29, 2020.

 

As a result of the SEC ordered suspension the Company defaulted on outstanding Convertible Notes; resulting in an increase of the interest to 21% and the principal to increase to 168% of principal loan amount. The convertible debt increased by $666,456 to $1,604,856 while the interest accrual increased to approximately $28,563/month, amounting to $175,543 at date of September 30, 2020.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Employment contracts

 

The Company’s executive officers have entered employment contracts and confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment of invention agreements.

Litigation

 

In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Legal fees for such matters are expensed as incurred and we accrue for adverse outcomes as they become probable and estimable.

 

On June 5, 2020 the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, issued a commencement of Action based on behalf of Power Up Lending Group, Ltd (“Power Up” or the “Claimant”). The Claimant request that due to the default of their note requesting a judgment for an amount of not less than $420,750. Among other claims Power Up asserts that the Company willfully failed to maintain the trading status, and manipulated its stock in its efforts to defraud the public and its investors by making false press statements and the like. The Company is denying any wrong-doing. However, the full requested amount has been included in the default calculation of the convertible debt.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the two years ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2020. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so, except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

We do not currently have sufficient capital resources to fund operations. To stay in business and to continue the development of our products, we will need to raise additional capital through public or private sales of our securities, debt financing or short-term bank loans, or a combination of the foregoing. We believe that if we can raise $3,700,000, we will have sufficient working capital to repay the ten convertible notes and develop our business over the next approximately 15 months. At funding raised that is significantly less than $3,700,000, we can likely repay the ten convertible notes and continue to develop our business over the same 15-month period, but funding at that level will delay the development of our technology and business.

 

Bioxytran, Inc. is headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts. The Company’s initial product pipeline is focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic molecules for stroke. BXT-25 will be designed to be an injectable anti-necrosis drug specifically designed to treat a person immediately after that person suffers an ischemic stroke. The drug is designed to be injected intravenously to travel to the lungs to pick up oxygen molecules to carry to the brain. Like a red blood cell, the drug will cross the blood brain barrier, which is a protective semi-permeable membrane allowing some material to cross but preventing others from crossing. BXT-25 will be designed to diffuse oxygen into the brain tissues. We expect the BXT-25 molecule to be 5,000 times smaller than a red blood cell.

 

The Company is also pursuing their work with a second drug candidate, BXT-10, a complex polysaccharide derived from pectin that binds to, and blocks the activity of galectin-1, a type of galectin. Galectins are a member of a family of proteins in the body called lectins. These proteins interact with carbohydrate sugars located in, on the surface of, and in between cells. This interaction causes the cells to change behavior, including cell movement, multiplication, and other cellular functions. The interactions between lectins and their target carbohydrate sugars occur via a carbohydrate recognition domain, or CRD, within the lectin. Galectins are a subfamily of lectins that have a CRD that bind specifically to ß-galactoside sugar molecules. Galectins have a broad range of functions, including regulation of cell survival and adhesion, promotion of cell-to-cell interactions, growth of blood vessels, regulation of the immune response and inflammation. During viral infections galectins are upregulated and downregulated based on the type of virus.

 

The Company plans to file a pre-investigational new drug application for BXT-10 for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 patients. However, we cannot provide any assurance that we will successfully initiate or complete those planned trials and be able to initiate any other clinical trials for BXT-10 or any of our future drug candidates.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited resources and operating history. As described in Note 4 of the financial statements, the Company has currently ten convertible loans outstanding at a total value of $938,400 maturing between 10/22/2020 and 3/18/2021, in order to finance the Company until we start raising equity. As a result of the ten-day SEC suspension of April 16. 2020, the notes entered into default and the principal owed is currently $1,604,856, including default penalties. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,912,439 as of September 30, 2020. The accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2019 was $2,241,305.

The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing to develop its new business opportunities and support the cost of the drug development including clinical trials and regulatory submission to the FDA.

 

The Company is supplementing its disclosure previously disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the following disclosure: Potential Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic in December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus (now commonly known as COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread rapidly throughout many countries, and, on March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many countries, including the United States, Canada and China, have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, and there have been business closures and a substantial reduction in economic activity in countries that have had significant outbreaks of COVID-19. COVID-19 may have a future material impact on our results of operation with respect to product development and clinical trials. However, significant uncertainty remains as to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, and on the global economy as a whole. It is currently not possible to predict how long the pandemic will last or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to prior levels. We do not yet know the full extent of any impact on our business or our operations, however, we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely, and we intend to follow health and safety guidelines as they evolve.

 

Management plans to seek additional capital through private placements and public offerings of its common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. Without such additional capital or the establishment of strategic relationships with established pharmaceutical companies, the Company may be required to cease operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue operations.

We are a start-up company. Historically, Bioxytran was engaged in formation, fund raising and identifying and consulting with the scientific community regarding the development, formulation and testing of its products.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $114,448, while for the three months ended September 30, 2019, they were $850,319. The components of G&A expenses are as follows:

 

  - Payroll and related expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $54,000, while there was no payroll recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

 

  - Costs for legal, accounting and other professional services for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $18,780, while they were $22,441 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to reduced use of external corporate counsel.

 

  - There was no Marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020, while there  were $8,989 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to reduction of promotional activities in the third quarter of 2020.

 

  - Stock-based compensation mounted to $9,208 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The stock-based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $795,076. The decrease was due to a declining stock value as we have not yet returned to OTC:BB.

 

  - The remaining miscellaneous G&A expenses totaled $32,460 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $23,812 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was due to the corporate pension plan.

The increased loss is mainly linked to current quarter costs for legal, accounting and other professional services for documentation that were filed with the SEC, as well as the amortization of debt discounts applied to warrants issued in connection with convertible debt and the related loan fees.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

 

We are a start-up company. Historically, Bioxytran was engaged in formation, fund raising and identifying and consulting with the scientific community regarding the development, formulation and testing of its products.

The interest for the convertible notes outstanding amounted to $919,677 (including a pre-pay fee of $91,362 for the early payment of a convertible note and the default penalty of $666,456), as compared to $26,891 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increased costs are mainly linked to current quarter costs for legal, accounting and other professional services, as well as the amortization of debt discounts applied to warrants issued in connection with convertible debt and the related loan fees.

 

Net Loss

 

The Company generated a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $1,671,133. In comparison, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company generated a net loss of $1,195,818. The increased loss is mainly linked to current quarter costs for legal, accounting and other professional services, as well as the amortization of debt discounts applied to warrants issued in connection with convertible debt and the related loan fees.

 

CASH-FLOWS

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $208,161 and $245,435 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease was due to reduced use of professional services.

 

The Company did not engage in any investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019.

 

Cash flows from financing activities were $39,166 and $242,250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The significant change was due to repayment of an outstanding convertible note on February 20, 2020.

 

The cash available was $633 and $33,226 in the end of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of September 30, 2020, our assets consisted of was $633 in cash. We had total liabilities of $2,093,163, which were all current liabilities, and which consisted of $480,192 in accounts payable and accrued expenses (of which $259,135 was payable to related parties), a short term no-interest loan of $8,115 and $1,604,856 in the form of ten convertible loans currently in default. As a result of defaulting on the notes, the debt premium as well as the debt discounts are fully amortized. The equivalent numbers at December 31, 2019, were $169,628 in cash and total liabilities of $1,018,915, which were all current liabilities, and which consisted of $167,932 in accounts payable and accrued expenses (of which $96,000 was payable to related parties), and $850,983 (which includes unamortized debt premium of $24,121, and which has been netted with unamortized debt discounts totaling $60,038) in the form of seven convertible loans, maturing between February 25, 2020 and 12/30/2020.

 

At September 30, 2020, we had total working capital of negative $2,092,530 and an accumulated deficit of $3.912,439. Comparatively, on December 31, 2019, we had total working capital of negative $799,287 and an accumulated deficit of $2,241,305. We believe that we must raise not less than $3,700,000 in addition to current cash on hand to be able to continue our business operations for approximately the next 15 months and repay the ten convertible notes.

 

19

 

  

We have no current commitment from our officers and directors or any of our shareholders, to supplement our operations or provide us with financing in the future. If we are unable to raise additional capital from conventional sources and/or additional sales of stock in the future, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. Even if we are able to continue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results. In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, selling assets, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Our contractual obligations include ten convertible notes, for a total of $938,400 and of accrued interest for these notes mounting to $175,543, described under Note 4 to the Financial Statements. As a result of the ten-day SEC suspension of April 16. 2020, the notes entered into default and the principal owed is currently $1,604,856, including default penalties.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However, events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it could result in a material adverse impact to our results of operations, financial position and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we used when preparing our financial statements were the most appropriate at that time. Presented below are those accounting policies that we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. However, the majority of our businesses operate in environments where we pay a fee for a service performed, and therefore the results of the majority of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex.

 Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company has share-based compensation plans under which non-employees, consultants and suppliers may be granted restricted stock, as well as options to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost is measured by the Company at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award over the requisite service period.

 

The Company applies ASC 718 for options, common stock and other equity-based grants to its employees and directors. ASC 718 requires measurement of all employee equity-based payment awards using a fair-value method and recording of such expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. The fair value concepts have not changed significantly in ASC 718; however, in adopting this standard, companies must choose among alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions. After assessing alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions, the Company will continue using both the Black-Scholes valuation model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the grant.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Item 3 is not applicable to us because we are a smaller reporting company.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that as of September 30, 2020, (i) the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and (ii) the Company’s controls and procedures have not been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due primarily to a material weakness in the segregation of duties in the Company’s internal controls.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation of these controls as of the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

The Company’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or 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. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
