UNITED HEALTH PRODUCTS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Preparation

 

United Health Products, Inc. (the “Company”) develops, manufactures, and markets a patented hemostatic gauze for the healthcare and wound care sectors. Our gauze product, HemoStyp®, is a neutralized, oxidized, regenerated cellulose (“NORC”) derived from cotton and designed to absorb exudate/drainage from superficial wounds and help control bleeding. We are in the process of seeking regulatory approval to sell our Hemostyp product line into the U.S. Class III surgical market.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with 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 note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included.

 

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring net losses, negative working capital and operations have not provided cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not currently have sufficient revenue producing operations to cover its operating expenses and meet its current obligations. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. As a result, economic uncertainties have arisen which have the potential to negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise funding and to pursue is business objectives. Other factors that carry financial implications for the Company could occur although the potential impacts are unknown at this time.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Table of Contents

  

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, as well as in the healthcare industry, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates, could cause actual results to differ.

 

 Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its HemoStyp product by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company receives orders for its HemoStyp products directly from its customers. Revenues are recognized based on the agreed upon sales or transaction price with the customer when control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer. The transfer of goods to the customer and satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligation will occur either at the time when products are shipped or when the products arrive and are received by the customer. No discounts are currently offered by the Company. The Company does not provide an estimate for returns as there is no anticipation for any returns in the normal course of business.

 

Trade Accounts Receivable and Concentration Risk

 

We record accounts receivable at the invoiced amount and we do not charge interest. We review the accounts receivable by amounts due from customers which are past due, to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the reserve, we make judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. We will also maintain a sales allowance to reserve for potential credits issued to customers. We will determine the amount of the reserve based on historical credits issued.

 

There were no provisions for doubtful accounts recorded at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company recorded $0 and $0 in bad debt expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measured. Share-based compensation for all stock-based awards to employees and directors is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements with non-employees in accordance with Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at the value on the grant date.

 

Per Share Information

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of potential common shares is not reflected in diluted earnings per share because the Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the effect of including these potential common shares in the net loss per share calculations would be anti-dilutive.

 

The total potential common shares as of March 31, 2021 included 27,400,000 of restricted stock units and 35,294 shares for convertible notes payable. The total potential common shares as of March 31, 2020 includes 50,100,000 of restricted stock units, and 198,648 shares for convertible loans payable - related party.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. The depreciation and amortization methods are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, in years, of the respective assets as follows:

 

Equipment

10 years

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity.

 

Under current GAAP, there are five accounting models for convertible debt instruments. ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, after adopting the ASU’s guidance, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, they will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account), unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815 or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Additionally, for convertible debt instruments with substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the FASB decided to add disclosures about (1) the fair value amount and the level of fair value hierarchy of the entire instrument for public business entities and (2) the premium amount recorded as paid-in capital.

ASU 2020-06 will be effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to its financial statements.

 

The Company considers all new pronouncements and management has determined that there have been no other recently adopted or issued accounting standards that had or will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Note 7. Litigation

 

A Complaint was filed with the United States District Court, Southern District of New York by Steven Safran as Plaintiff against the Company and Douglas Beplate, its CEO, as Defendant. This case was transferred to the United States District Court in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mr. Safran is seeking damages and monies allegedly owed pursuant to an employment agreement of approximately $734,000 and allegedly unpaid loans of $245,824 provided to Defendants. The Company has denied Plaintiff’s allegations and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. The parties have held various depositions and the Company made a motion to dismiss which was denied. The Plaintiff filed a motion to amend his complaint and the Company has submitted opposition papers and we are awaiting an order from the Court.

 

In March 2021, the Company received payment of $304,273 from Maxim Group LLC, representing the full settlement payment in accordance with a Settlement Agreement in a previously disclosed arbitration between the Company and Maxim that was reached in December 2019.

 

Philip Forman, who served as Chairman, a director, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Advisor of the Company at various times between 2011 and October 2015, filed a lawsuit against the Company and our then-Chief Executive Officer, Douglas Beplate, in the United States District Court of the District of Nevada. The claimant has claimed, among other things: that the June 25, 2015 Amendment to his November 10, 2014 Employment Agreement with the Company, which terminated the Employment Agreement on October 1, 2015, is not valid because of lack of consideration; that a July 22, 2015 Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the claimant sold Company shares issued to him under the Amendment to a third a party is unenforceable (despite the fact that all payment for the shares under the Stock Purchase Agreement was made); that the plaintiff’s 2014 Employment Agreement is enforceable and that he is entitled to cash and stock compensation under that Employment Agreement (without giving regard to the Amendment); that if the Amendment is enforceable, he is entitled to the shares issued under the Amendment (without mention that those shares were sold to a third party under the Stock Purchase Agreement described above); and that the Company and Mr. Beplate defrauded the plaintiff relating to the foregoing. The plaintiff is seeking declaratory judgment regarding the parties’ relative rights under the Employment Agreement, the Amendment and the Stock Purchase Agreement; money damages of no less than $2,795,000; and punitive damages of $8,280,000. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the matters claimed as well as counterclaims against the claimant. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s claims which was denied on March 19, 2020. On May 5, 2021 the plaintiff provided a deposition as instructed by the Court. The Company intends to file a motion for dismissal of this proceeding during the 2nd quarter of 2021.

 

FSR Inc. commenced a lawsuit in 2018 against Korsair Holdings A.G. (“Korsair”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking among other claims for relief, rescission of the transfer of 3,050,000 shares of United Health Products common stock (the “Shares”) that FSR Inc. sold to Korsair in 2011. Third-Party Plaintiff, JEC Consulting Associates, LLC as Liquidator of LeadDog Capital L.P., Intervenor (“Intervenor”) in the above matter, filed a third-party complaint against the Company and Douglas Beplate alleging, among other things, that the Company and Mr. Beplate refused to have the Rule 144 restrictive legend removed from the Korsair certificate held by JEC, and concomitantly fraudulently deprived JEC as Liquidator of Intervenor of the ability to sell the Shares in the open market, knowingly, intentionally and directly causing economic harm to Intervenor. Third Party Plaintiff further alleges that the Company and Mr. Beplate as Third-Party Defendants are not only monetarily liable to Third-Party Plaintiff for compensatory damages of $2,500,000 but should be made to pay exemplary damages in an amount determined by the Court, but not less than an equal amount - $2,500,000. Third-Party Plaintiff demands judgment for the above referenced amounts and for the Court to also declare that the Shares are free trading; that Third-Party Plaintiff’s rights to 2,500,000 of the Shares are superior to the claims of Plaintiff FSR Inc.; that Plaintiff FSR Inc. has no claim to 2,500,000 of the Shares reflected by the Korsair certificate; that the Company and Mr. Beplate are to instruct its current transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend on the Korsair certificate for the Shares; and an order directing the Company and Mr. Beplate to instruct the Company’s transfer agent to exchange the Korsair certificate for new free-trading, unrestricted certificates. The Company believes that it had legal right to decline to instruct the transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend from the Shares where the ownership of the Shares have been in dispute and the Shares have not been submitted for transfer to its transfer agent in proper form under the uniform commercial code. The Court granted the motion for a default by FSR, Inc against Korsair Holdings, AG., but denied any claim for relief against UHP. The Court ruled that the SEC must review the claim before the matter can proceed in Court. As of the date of this filing the SEC had not commenced any such review to the Company’s knowledge.

On May 4, 2021 the Company received notification from the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) that, following the resubmission of its application for Pre-market Approval for HemoStyp gauze on April 6th, the FDA has now accepted for review and commenced its Substantive Review of the application. The commencement of Substantive Review serves as a confirmation that the FDA deems the contents of a PMA application to be adequate and in acceptable form to review and thoroughly evaluate the merits of the product and its proposed applications. The FDA has not yet offered any assessment of the Company’s PMA application beyond taking this step, and there can be no assurance that a PMA will be granted.

 

The Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement between the Company and its former legal counsel. The amendment accelerated the vesting of the 325,000 RSU’s owed and the Company issued 325,000 restricted shares.

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

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under 'Risk Factors' in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with SEC on March 30, 2021.

 

Company Overview

 

The Company develops, manufactures, and markets a patented hemostatic gauze for the healthcare and wound care sectors. Our gauze product, HemoStyp®, is a neutralized, oxidized, regenerated cellulose (“NORC”) derived from cotton and designed to absorb exudate/drainage from superficial wounds and help control bleeding. The Company is in the process of seeking regulatory approval to sell our Hemostyp product line into the U.S. Class III surgical market.

 

Our HemoStyp Gauze Products

 

HemoStyp hemostatic gauze is a collagen-like natural substance created from chemically treated cellulose derived from cotton. It is an effective hemostatic agent registered with the FDA for superficial use under a 510k approval obtained in 2012 to help control bleeding from open wounds and body cavities. The HemoStyp hemostatic material contains no chemical additives, thrombin or collagen, and is hypoallergenic. When the product comes in contact with blood it expands slightly and quickly converts to a gel that subsequently breaks down into glucose and salts. Because of its benign impact on body tissue and the fact that it degrades to non-toxic end products, HemoStyp does not impede the healing of body tissue as do certain competing hemostatic products. Laboratory testing has shown HemoStyp to be 100% absorbable in the human body in 24 hours or less compared to days or weeks with competing organic regenerated cellulose products. A human trial conducted in 2019 and 2020 demonstrated the effectiveness of HemoStyp in vascular, thoracic and abdominal surgical procedures.

 

HemoStyp hemostatic gauze is a flexible, silk-like material that is applied by placing the gauze onto the bleeding tissue. The supple material can be easily folded and manipulated as needed to fit the size of the wound or incision. In surface bleeding and surgical situations, the product quickly converts to a translucent gel that allows the physician or surgeon to monitor the coagulation process. The gel maintains a neutral pH level which avoids damaging the surrounding tissue. In superficial bleeding situations, HemoStyp can be bonded to an adhesive plastic bandage or integrated into a traditional gauze component to address a broad range of needs, including traumatic bleeding injuries and prolonged bleeding following hemodialysis.

 

 Potential Target Markets

 

Our technology can be marketed as HemoStyp Gauze in various configurations and sizes both nationally and internationally. Our potential customer base for our HemoStyp includes, without limitation, the following (noting that we have several formats of Trauma Gauze):

 

 

Hospitals and Surgery Centers for all Internal Surgical usage (in the event we obtain FDA Class III approval)

 

Hospitals, Clinics and Physicians for external trauma

EMS, Fire Departments and other First Responders

Military Medical Care Providers

Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities

Hemodialysis centers

Dental and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Offices

Veterinary hospitals

 

 Primary Strategy

 

Our HemoStyp technology received an FDA 510k approval in 2012 for use in external or superficial bleeding situations and we believe there is an opportunity for HemoStyp products to address unmet needs in several medical applications that represent attractive commercial opportunities. However, the Class III surgical markets, both domestic and international, represent the most attractive market for our products due to the smaller number of competitors offering Class III approved hemostatic agents and the resulting premium pricing for products that can meet the demanding requirements of the human surgical environment. In 2018, we made the decision to focus our efforts and resources on accessing these Class III markets to maximize the value potential of our HemoStyp. The Class III Pre-market approval (PMA) process requires a substantial investment of time and resources so we made the strategic determination to pause our sales and marketing to non-Class III markets in order to devote our full attention to the FDA process. Our extensive laboratory testing and our completed human trial indicate that the HemoStyp technology can successfully compete against established Class III market participants and allow us to gain a significant market share.

 

As of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, the Company’s PMA application has been accepted for review and the FDA has commenced its Substantive Review.

Table of Contents

 

In anticipation of receiving a Class III PMA, we are evaluating paths to rapidly grow our revenue and profits in this market segment, with the objective of maximizing shareholder value. Options under consideration include (i) a sale or merger of the Company with an industry leader in the wound care and surgical device sectors, which may include a pre-sale collaboration on commercialization and distribution, (ii) one or more commercial partnerships with established market participants, without any specific, associated sale or merger transaction, and (iii) a capital raising program to establish and grow our own marketing and distribution capabilities and generate revenue and profits organically.

 

The Company has been contacted by several medical technology companies that are active in the surgical equipment and hemostatic products sectors, and who have expressed an interest in the Company’s products and business strategy. In response to these inbound contacts, we continue to engage in regular discussions to evaluate the potential commercial partnerships as we approach the FDA decision on our Class III PMA application. There can be no assurances that any specific transaction will occur as a result of this strategy. No assurances can be given that the Company will identify an acquisition or commercialization candidate(s) or complete a transaction.

 

Manufacturing and Packaging of our Products

 

The Company’s NORC products are manufactured largely in the United States to our specifications and using our equipment through a contract manufacturing arrangement with an FDA certified contract manufacturer that maintains stringent quality control protocols to assure the uniformity and quality of all of our gauze products. Information on our equipment, the manufacturing process and our partner’s facility has been submitted as part of our PMA submission, which includes the FDA inspection records of the facility. Certain of our adhesive bandage formats designed for the 510k market are manufactured by a separate contractor based in China.

 

Patents and Trademarks

 

Our NORC technology is protected through patents issued by by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) in 2013 and which protection currently runs through 2029. In 2020 we filed an additional U.S. patent that would protect the use of our NORC technology in a gel or hydrocolloid formulation. On January 21, 2021, the U.S. Patent Office provided notification of publication of the Company’s patent application for the method of forming and using a hemostatic hydrocolloid. This publication does not imply any assurance of the receipt of the patent but establishes an obligation of any party that seeks to use the applicable method to pay royalties for the right to do so. The patent application for this process remains pending as of the date of this filing. 

 

On February 11, 2021, the Company was notified that its application to establish global patent protection for the process of creating and deploying a hydrocolloid (or gel) format of its previously patented HemoStyp hemostatic gauze was accepted for publication under the procedures of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), which is an international patent law treaty which provides a unified procedure for filing a patent application in most foreign countries. The Company previously filed provisional patent applications for its HemoStyp gauze and the hydrocolloid process in July 2019 and 2020, respectively. The Company now has up to one year to register specific patents in those countries where it wishes to commercialize any future HemoStyp gel formats and will do so as its gel-related R&D activity progresses through 2021.

Three Months ended March 31, 2021 versus Three Months ended March 31, 2020

 

During the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, the Company had $59 and $291 of revenues, respectively. The minimal revenues are due to the continued focus of the Company’s capital and resources towards making our NORC technology and products more commercially viable by seeking to obtain a Class III PMA. The Company is continuing this strategy based on our belief that the greatest value to our shareholders will come from this PMA and, if granted, pursuing opportunities that we anticipate will be available to the Company.

 

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 were $26,705,225 and $623,992, respectively.

 

The increase in operating expenses is due primarily to an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $26,233,921. The Company recorded a total $26,281,421 of stock-based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $47,500 during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

The increase in stock-based compensation is primarily related to vesting and amortization of RSUs. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company amended the RSU agreement with its former Chief Executive Officer and current Chairman. The amendment resulted in the vesting of 21,970,000 RSUs along with the issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of restricted stock as a bonus. The change in vesting and issuance of the bonus shares of common stock resulted in the immediate recognition of $26,127,300 in stock-based compensation expense. The Company also recognized $43,121 of stock-based compensation due to the amortization of the RSUs that vested on January 1, 2021 and issued 100,000 shares of common stock for settlement of a consulting agreement valued at $111,000. The Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock for services valued at $47,500 and did not record any stock-based compensation related to RSU’s during the first quarter of 2020.

 

Other income (expense) for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 was $(341,947) and $(2,015), respectively. The increase in other expense was due to total interest expense of $611,030 and loss on debt settlement of $35,190 offset by other income of $304,273. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the amortization of beneficial conversion features on convertible notes payable and convertible notes payable – related party during the first quarter 2021 totaling $604,521 compared to $2,015 in the first quarter of 2020. The loss on debt settlement is due to the Company issuing shares of common stock with a fair value of $188,713 for the settlement of $153,523 of various debts and accrued liabilities – related party. Other income is due to the Company receiving $304,273 as full and final payment for settlement of its December 2019 arbitration with Maxim.

 

Our net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $27,047,138 as compared to net loss of $625,821 for the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in the net loss is due to the Company having an increase in operating expenses of $26,081,233 and an increase in other expenses of $339,932, as explained above.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had a negative working capital of $60,077. The Company has not yet attained a level of operations, and for the foreseeable future will not be pursuing commercial operations, which will allow us to meet our current overhead while we seek FDA Class III approval. Our primary strategy calls for one or more  commercial collaborations to market and distribute current and future HemoStyp products to the Class III marketplace, or to pursue a strategic transaction including a potential sale of the Company. If we are not successful in our strategy, we cannot assure that we will be able to fund a marketing and sale strategy, and if we do, we are unable to assure we will attain profitable operations within the next year or at all. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our 2020 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company has funded its initial operations with private placements, and secured loans from related parties, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to the Company and, if available, on terms that are favorable to the Company. Our ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on many events outside of our direct control, including, among other things, our ability to achieve our business goals and objectives, as well as improvement operating conditions in the healthcare industry.

 

Cash Flows

 

The Company’s cash on hand at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $170,588 and $46,076, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2021, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its HemoStyp product by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company receives orders for its HemoStyp products directly from its customers. Revenues are recognized based on the agreed upon sales or transaction price with the customer when control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer. The transfer of goods to the customer and satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligation will occur either at the time when products are shipped or when the products arrive and are received by the customer. No discounts were offered by the Company. The Company does not provide an estimate for returns as there is no anticipation for any returns in the normal course of business.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measured. Share-based compensation for all stock-based awards to employees and directors is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements with non-employees in accordance with Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at the value on the grant date.

 

 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not applicable 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company is in the process of implementing disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ''Exchange Act''), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of March 31, 2021, the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no changes in our system of internal controls over financial reporting.
