QUANTA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED September 30, 2020 AND 2019 (UNAUDITED)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

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. On April 28, 2016, the Company was incorporated as Freight Solution, Inc. in the State of Nevada. Effective June 6, 2018, the Company (then known as Bioanomaly Inc.) was acquired by Freight Solution in a transaction accounted for as a reverse merger transaction. On July 11, 2018, the Company changed its name to Quanta, Inc.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company experienced a change in control and appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer, among other corporate actions, and commenced a transition into a holding company. During the transition phase, the Company furloughed most of its employees, and has continued to sell its products online (see Note 12). 

 

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, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $5,931 and used cash in operating activities of $1,804, and at September 30, 2020, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,850. 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 their report on the Company’s December 31, 2019 audited 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, 2020, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $11. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company received $1,643 from the issuance of notes payable.  Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through the next three 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

 

Basis of presentation and principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 10, 2020. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quanta Inc, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bioanomaly, Inc. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

COVID-19

 

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 June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic did impact our operating results as shipments to customers in the second quarter and third quarter were down 13% and 10% 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.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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

 

The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.

 

Product Sales—Revenue from sales of the Company’s CBD products is recognized at the point in time when the Company’s performance obligations with the applicable customers have been satisfied. Revenue is recorded at the transaction price, which is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products to a customer. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to the customer at a point in time, typically upon delivery of products. The Company historically has offered no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against revenue. The Company sells its products (i) directly to customers (“DTC”) through online orders from our websites, and DTC sales at conventions and events; and (ii) through wholesalers, including physicians, pharmacies, fitness studios, grocery stores, and other organizations.

 

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.

 

Leases

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the contract. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. All leases with terms greater than twelve months result in the recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Leases with terms of twelve months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of an asset or liability (see Note 5).

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates through the September 30, 2020, reporting date. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period

 

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 Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on ASC 718, whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation within its Statements of Operations with classification depending on the nature of the services rendered.

 

The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using a 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.

 

Advertising costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, advertising costs totaled $53 and $58, respectively.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, research and development costs totaled $307 and $197, respectively and include 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 by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding shares of unvested restricted common stock. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest. At September 30, 2020, shares used in the calculation of basic net loss per common share include 4,125,000 of vested but unissued shares underlying awards of restricted common stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Shares of restricted stock are included in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the date they are granted. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the dilutive impact of stock options exercisable into 2,732,261 shares of common stock, convertible notes convertible into 61,171,291 shares of common stock, and 4,500,000 shares of unvested restricted common stock have been excluded from calculation of weighted average shares because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive. It should be noted that under the contractual terms of the convertible notes; one note holder is limited no more than 4.99% of outstanding shares; the other note holders are limited to no more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares at any time within 61 days of conversion. Therefore at September 30, 2020, the note holders could not convert their respective notes into more than 20,361,669 common shares.

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 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, 2020, the Company’s balance sheet includes Level 2 liabilities comprised of the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities of $179 (see Note 8).

 

Concentrations of risks

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, one customer accounted for 15% or more of revenue. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of revenue. As of September 30, 2020, one customer accounted for 17% of accounts receivable, and one accounted for 10% of accounts receivable. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019, two customers accounted for 19% and 12% of accounts receivable, respectively. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable.

 

As of September 30, 2020, four vendors accounted for 11% and 17% and 14% and 14% of accounts payable, respectively, and no other vendor accounted for 10% or more of accounts payable. As of September 30, 2020 no 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 and President, 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 June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

11

 

 

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.

 

NOTE 2 – LICENSE AGREEMENT

 

Effective January 22, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a wholesaler for the exclusive rights to distribute the Company’s products in the state of Colorado for three years. In consideration, the Company received an up-front payment of $100. The Company determined that the exclusive distribution agreement was a distinct agreement for the license of symbolic IP and thus should be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year life of the agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company recognized revenue related to this agreement in the amount of $9 and $25, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 the Company recognized revenue related to this agreement in the amount of $9 and $17, respectively.

NOTE 5 - OPERATING LEASES

 

At December 31, 2019, the Company had one operating lease for its headquarters office space in Burbank, California. In February 2020, the Company took possession of a second leased facility consisting of office, research, and production space also located in Burbank, California. The lease commenced on January 1, 2020, and has a term for 5 years, with annual fixed rental payments ranging from $90 to $101. The aggregate total fixed rent is approximately $478 and resulted in the recognition of an operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and of corresponding lease liability of approximately $432 each. The Company also paid a security deposit of $17. At September 30, 2020, the Company did not have any other leases. 

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company consolidated it operations into one space located in Burbank, California. In connection with one lease that is no longer utilized, the Company recorded an impairment of the related net right of use asset of $255, and wrote of a deposit of $17 with the lessor. The total due to the lessor is $236 and is recorded as settlement reserve at September 30, 2020.

 

12

 

 

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Generally the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

 

The components of lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the period are as follows:

  (a) In April 2020 and May 2020, the Company entered into two financing agreements aggregating $506. 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, and mature in April 2022 and May 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company made payments of $67 and at September 30, 2020, the balance due on these notes was $439.
     
  (b) Note payable, interest at 8.3% per annum, secured by all the assets of the Company. The note was due January 13, 2019 and on April 24, 2020, the note holder waived the default through December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2019, the balance of this Note was $56, During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company made principal payments of $22, and at September 30, 2020, the balance due on this note was $33.
     
  (c) On May 7, 2020, the Company was granted a loan (the “PPP loan”) from Bank of America in the aggregate amount of $134, 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. The PPP loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. 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 intends to use 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. As for the potential loan forgiveness, once the PPP loan is, in part or wholly, forgiven and a legal release is received, the liability would be reduced by the amount forgiven and a gain on extinguishment would be recorded. 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 as of September 30, 2020.
     
  (d)

On September 5, 2020, the Company received a $150 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 of $0.7 per month 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, 2020.

     
  (e)

Between July 7, 2020, and July 29, 2020, the Company issued notes payable to a third-party investors totaling $250. Under the terms of the note, 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. The Company issued 280,000 shares of common stock as fees in conjunction with this financing. The Company recorded $28, of discount which is being amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the arrangement.

  (a) At December 31, 2019, there were $282 of convertible notes with adjustable conversion prices outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued one unsecured convertible promissory note for $153, bearing interest at 22% per annum, and maturing in February 2021. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company also issued two unsecured convertible notes payable for $30, bearing interest at 10% per annum, and maturing on December 31, 2020, that were issued as loan commitment fees for notes payable. At the option of the holder, the notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share discount of 39% to 50% of the average market price of the Company’s common stock, as defined. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion options of the convertible notes were not considered derivatives and qualify as stock settled debt under ASC 480 – “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Therefore the Company calculated fixed premiums totaling $226 which were charged to interest expense at the dates of the note issuance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, one convertible note payable for $282 was paid off and another was partially converted into common stock. At September 30, 2020, the balance of these convertible notes was $223.
     
  (b)

At December 31, 2019, the Company had no convertible notes outstanding with fixed conversion prices. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued seven convertible notes with fixed conversion prices aggregating $497. The notes are unsecured, bear interest at 10% per annum, and mature through March 31, 2021. The notes were initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.05 per share. The Company recorded debt discounts of $531 to account for loan fees, beneficial conversion features ($323), and original issue discounts. The debt discounts are amortized over the life of the notes or are amortized in full upon the conversion of the corresponding notes to common stock.

 

On September 2, 2020, the Company issued a convertible note (see paragraph a above) having a conversion price less than $0.05 which triggered a term common to all notes in paragraph b, which changed the conversion terms to be the lower of $0.05 or 61% of the lowest traded price during the 15 days prior to the conversion. This event is also considered a default for which a penalty is charged equal to 150% of the accrued interest, default interest and principal, totaling $315. On December 9, 2020, the Company executed amendments to these notes effective September 30, 2020 (as further discussed at Note 12), which extended the maturity dates and fixed the conversion price at $0.015. Due to the change in conversion terms the notes now require the recognition of the beneficial conversion feature of the increased principal and lowering of the conversion price resulting in recognition of additional charges of $1,215. Loss on debt extinguishment was charged $901 and debt discounts were charged $315 with a credit to additional paid in capital for the debt discounts which will be amortized to interest expense over the extended term of the amended notes. At September 30, 2020 the new principal totaled $812.

 

At December 31, 2019, the balance of unamortized discount on convertible notes was $225. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, debt discount of $761 was recorded, and debt discount amortization of $396 was recorded. At September 30, 2020, the balance of the unamortized discount was $590.

 

Note 8 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

At December 31, 2019, the balance of the derivative liabilities was $400, which was fully extinguished upon pay-off of the related convertible note with a decrease of fair value of $114 and gain on debt extinguishment of $286 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company also recorded additions of $101 related to the conversion features of a note issued during the period (see Note 7), and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $101 upon conversion of the related convertible note. At September 30, 2020, the Company had no convertible notes outstanding that are considered to have embedded derivative liabilities that require bifurcation per the note agreements.

 

The derivative liabilities were valued at the following dates using a binomial model with the following assumptions:

 

    September 30, 2020     December 31, 2019  
Conversion feature:                
Risk-free interest rate     0.17 %     1.8 %
Expected volatility     182 %     222 %
Expected life (in years)   3 – 12 months     1 year  
Expected dividend yield     -       -  
                 
Fair Value:     -       -  
Conversion feature   $ -     $ 400  

 

15

 

 

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life of the conversion feature of the notes was based on the remaining terms of the related notes. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not customarily paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future.

 

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

On April 14, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada designating 2,500,000 shares of its authorized preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive any dividends or liquidation preference and are not convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, in the aggregate, have voting power equal to 51% of the total votes of all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company entitled to vote. Accordingly, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to one and one-tenth (1.1) times a fraction, the numerator of which is the shares of outstanding common stock and undesignated preferred stock of the Company and the denominator of which is number of shares of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote with the holders of the common stock and any outstanding preferred stock without regard to class, except as to those matters on which separate class voting is required by applicable law or the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.

 

On April 14, 2020, The Company issued 2,500,000 shares of a newly created class of preferred stock, Series A Preferred Stock to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in a private placement transaction. The fair value of the was determined to be $465 and was recorded as stock compensation.

The Company issued 1,127,522 common shares of stock to secure financing for total fair value of $105.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized beneficial conversion features totaling $1,569, as additional paid in capital for the difference between the conversion price of the convertible notes payable and the fair value as of the date of the amendments to the related convertible notes.

 

NOTE 10 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

The total charged to stock-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was $1,542. The total included the following:

 

Preferred stock

 

On April 14, 2020, The Company issued 2,500,000 shares of a newly created class of preferred stock, Series A Preferred Stock to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in a private placement transaction. The fair value of the Series A Preferred shares was determined to be $465 and was recorded as stock compensation in selling, general and administrative expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company determined the fair value of the Series A Preferred shares by obtaining an independent valuation of the fair value of the Company’s Series A Preferred shares.

 

Common stock

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 451,198 shares of common stock to employees and officers of the Company. The fair value of the shares was determined to be $106 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the dates shares were granted, and recorded as stock compensation in selling, general and administrative expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $929 to stock-based compensation as accretion of the expense related to grants of restricted stock (see below).

Restricted common stock

 

On May 20, 2019, the Company agreed to issue 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with vesting terms to a consultant for services. 1,000,000 shares vested immediately, and the balance of 7,000,000 shares will vest 625,000 shares per quarter over 2.8 years. In the event the consultants service with the Company terminates, any or all of the shares of common stock held by such recipient that have not vested as of the date of termination are forfeited to the Company in accordance with such restricted grant agreement.

 

The total fair value of the 8,000,000 shares was determined to be $4,000 based on the price per shares of a contemporaneous private placement of the Company’s common stock on the date granted. The Company accounts for the share awards using a graded vesting attribution method over the requisite service period, as if each tranche were a separate award. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total share-based expense recognized related to vested restricted shares totaled $929. At September 30, 2020, there was $753 of unvested compensation related to these awards that will be amortized over a remaining vesting period of 1.4 years.

 

The following table summarizes restricted common stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

 

   Number of shares   Fair value of shares
(in thousands)
 
Non-vested shares, December 31, 2019   5,750,000   $1,682 
Granted   -    - 
Vested   (1,875,000)   (929)
Forfeited   -    - 
Non-vested shares, September 30, 2020   3,875,000   $753 

 

As of September 30, 2020, no shares have been issued and 4,125,000 vested shares are included in shares to be issued on the accompanying financial statements

 

Stock Options

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued options exercisable into 3,290,000 shares of common stock. The options initially had an exercise price of $0.23 per share, and this was amended in May 2020 to $0.10 per share. The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the modified option grants immediately before and immediately after the modification and determined the change in fair value related to the modification was de minimis.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued options exercisable into 900,000 shares of common stock. 600,000 of the options vested immediately, and 300,000 of the options vest over 24 months. The options have an exercise price of $0.10 to $0.14 per share, and expire in ten years. Total fair value of these options at grant date was approximately $85, which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following average assumption: stock price $0.14 per share, expected term ranging from five years, volatility 236%, dividend rate of 0% and risk-free interest rate of 0.17%.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $250 of compensation expense relating to vested stock options. As of September 30, 2020, the amount of unvested compensation related to stock options was approximately $346 which will be recorded as an expense in future periods as the options vest.

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement corresponding with the expected term of the share option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that share option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

Overview

 

Quanta is an applied science company focused on increasing energy levels in plant matter to increase performance within the human body. Our proprietary technology uses quantum mechanics to increase bio-activity of targeted molecules to enhance the desired effects. We specialize in potentiating rare naturally occurring elements to create impactful and sustainable healing solutions that we believe will one day be as powerful and predictable as pharmaceutical drugs.

 

We offer our technology as a platform, making it accessible to existing high-quality product makers with existing distribution channels, as well as consumer products. Our mission is to power as many impactful, high-performing and wholly organic solutions as possible through product lines and a series of licensing and distribution partnerships.

 

Bioanomaly Inc. was founded in 2016 by a group of technology and industry entrepreneurs and provides licensed technology solutions to natural product companies in multiple verticals. Our headquarters is located in Burbank, California.

 

Quanta Basics

 

Quanta, Inc. (“Quanta”) is a cutting-edge technology platform whose patented, proprietary technology harnesses advances in quantum biology to increase the potency of active 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. From potentiating bio-ingredients to produce more-effective carbon-trapping plants to transformative anti-aging solutions Quanta’s 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 active ingredient is more soluble and creates stronger bonds with the body’s receptors. This allows us to enhance ingredients so they work faster and more powerfully without the use of chemical by-products or cellular penetration. Quanta believes this natural solution has nearly limitless applications in the world of plant-based consumer products.

 

20

 

 

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.

 

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 industry, 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. Our technology’s 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.

 

21

 

 

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 for new projects without massive dilution.

 

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.”

 

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 will 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 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.

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 their report on the Company’s December 31, 2019 audited financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This 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, 2020, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $11. Subsequent to September 30, 2020 the Company received $119 from the issuance of six notes payable. 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 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

 

The Company recognizes revenue when risk of loss transfers to our customers and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, typically upon delivery of products. The Company historically has offered no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against revenue.

 

The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.

Stock Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on ASC 718, whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation within its Statements of Operations with classification depending on the nature of the services rendered.

 

The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using a 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.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates through the September 30, 2020, reporting date. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

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, 2020 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (i) We do 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; and (ii) the Company did not maintain effective policies to ensure adequate segregation of duties within its accounting processes. Specifically, due to the size of the Company and the smaller nature of department teams, opportunities are limited to segregate duties, resulting in inabilities to soundly manage segregation of job responsibilities.

 

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, 2020, 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. As of the date of this report, 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.
