Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

ProLung, Inc. (the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on November 22, 2004 and is doing business as “ProLung.” The Company’s headquarters are located in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Company’s business is the development, marketing and sales of precision predictive analytical medical devices specializing in lung cancer. The Company’s principal activities are primarily developing and testing of products, seeking FDA clearance for its products, developing markets and securing strategic alliances and obtaining financing.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Hilltop Acquisition Corporation, Inc., which has had no activity since its inception and is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of its formation.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and therefore certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for them to be presented fairly, with those adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has generated minimal revenues thus far from its operations and no revenue during the current period. Until the Company receives FDA approval, the Company will not achieve its planned level of operations in the United States. The Company does have a CE mark for Europe and has licensed a portion of its technology to an entity located in China. The Company has incurred substantial and recurring losses to date from operations, continues to have a stockholders’ deficit and is currently dependent on debt and equity financing. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this risk and uncertainty.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company successfully obtaining additional funding, developing products that can be sold profitably, and generating cash through operating activities. Management’s plans include issuing equity or debt securities to fund capital requirements and developing ongoing operations.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company computes diluted loss per share by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect. For the three and six months June 30, 2019, and 2018, the following items were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share as their effect is anti-dilutive:

 

   June 30, 
   2019   2018 
Warrants to purchase shares   1,224,684    1,231,559 
Stock options   490,635    371,732 
Convertible notes   1,595,177    685,349 

 

Convertible Debt

 

The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that has conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features which is credited to additional paid-in capital.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Policies

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which was amended with ASU No. 2015-14, ASU No. 2016-08, ASU No. 2016-10, ASU No. 2016-11, ASU No. 2016-12 and ASU No. 2016-20. These new standards supersede all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry specific guidance. The new standard requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive for those goods or services. The Company currently has no revenue and the implementation of this standard has no current effect.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02: Leases ASU 2016-02 requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company entered into a three-year lease agreement in May 2019 and management is evaluating how the implementation of this standard will affect its 2020 balance sheet and operations.

 

Emerging Growth Company – We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. Although we have not delayed the adoption of any accounting standards, we may choose to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards in the future.

 

The Company has reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and has determined that they will not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

Note 2 – Accrued Liabilities

 

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2019   2018 
         
Accrued interest  $364,819   $187,779 
Accrued settlement   55,000    - 
Accrued royalties   17,873    17,873 
Accrued payroll and payroll taxes   28,693    38,081

As disclosed in Note 6, in January 2020 the Company settled with the Utah Division of Securities for $55,000. The Company was aware of this situation at June 30, 2019 and has accrued the settlement amount.

 

Note 3 –Convertible Notes Payable

 

2019 Transactions

 

The Company received $300,000 in convertible notes from certain current and former Board Members in during February and March 2019. During the first six months of 2019 the Company also received $150,000 in convertible notes from certain individuals. These notes are unsecured, bear interest at 8% and are convertible at $3.20 per share. The notes are due March 2022. Since these notes had a conversion price that was not “in the money” upon issuance there was no BCF recorded.

 

2018 Transactions

 

In March 2018, the Company began issuing 8% convertible promissory notes (the “convertible notes”). The convertible notes are unsecured. Principal and accrued interest were originally due two years from the date of issuance. The original terms of the convertible entitled the holder, at its option, to convert all, or any portion of the outstanding principal and interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $6.30 per share. In January 2019, the Board proposed, and a majority of the note holders agreed, to a modification to the convertible notes by extending the maturity date to March 2022 and decreasing the conversion price to $5.20 per share which was deemed to be the fair value of the common stock on the date of the modification. Due to the significance of the change in conversion price $2,862,750 of notes payable were considered extinguished and reissued. The Company recognized a loss of $633,628 as a result of this deemed extinguishment.

 

On April 15, 2019, the Board agreed to decrease the conversion rate of certain convertible notes to $3.20 per share. Due to the significance of the change in conversion price $3,282,750 of notes payable were considered extinguished and reissued. The Company recognized an additional loss of $14,923 as a result of this deemed extinguishment. These modifications did not require recording a BCF.

 

Notes payable are summarized as follows:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2019   2018 
$3.20 - Convertible notes payable net of $11,581 in discount and loan costs; unsecured; interest at 8.00%; due March 2020  $120,000   $2,329,937 
           
$3.20 - Convertible notes payable; unsecured; interest at 8%; due March 2022 (amount includes $450,000 in amounts owed to related parties)   3,312,750    - 
           
$6.00 - Convertible notes payable; unsecured; interest at 8.00%; due November 2020   1,206,931    1,206,931 
           
Notes payable, net  $4,639,681   $3,536,868 
           
Less: current portion, net   (120,000)   -

Note 5 – Common Stock Options

 

Board and Employee Option Grants

 

In June 2019, the Board’s approved the issuance of 135,000 options to employees of the Company at an exercise price of $3.20 per option. These options vest monthly over one year. The fair value of these options was $2.90 per option or $392,192 and will be expensed over the relative vesting period.

 

In June 2019, the Board approved the issuance of 45,000 options to Board members for services rendered through June 30, 2019 an exercise price of $3.20 per option. These options vested upon issuance. The fair value of these options was $2.77 per option or $124,793 and was expensed upon grant.

 

The fair value was computed using the Black Scholes method using the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

Expected life   6.1 years 
Exercise price  $3.62 
Expected volatility   133%

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Lease Agreement

 

In May 2019 the Company entered into a new lease agreement for its office space. The lease amount is $3,600 per month and expires in April 2022. The Company had yet to inhabit the office as of June 30th and as a result no lease expense was incurred as it relates to this lease.

 

Utah Division of Securities

 

On April 23, 2019, the Utah Division of Securities (the “Division”) filed a Notice of Agency Action and an Order to Show Cause before the Division of Securities of the Department of Commerce of the State of Utah against the Company, Jared Bauer and former Board Members (Clark Campbell, Tim Treu, Todd Morgan and Robert Raybould).

 

In January 2020, the Division issued a Stipulation and Consent Order which set forth the following: 1) the Company agrees to settle the matter with the Division by way of the Stipulation and Consent Order; 2) the Stipulation and Consent Order fully resolves all claims the Division has against the Company pertaining to the Order to Show Cause; 3) the Division, ProLung and Bauer, agree to promptly file a stipulation and joint motion to dismiss ProLung and Bauer from this administrative action, with respect to Count 1 against ProLung and Bauer (the only claim brought against Bauer); 4) In or about April 2014, the Company Board of Directors circulated a consent agreement regarding the issuance of 582,102 (72,763 post-split) ProLung stock certificates to select members of the ProLung Board of Directors in connection with “financing services provided” by those members; 5) In or about April 2014, ProLung issued stock grants of 216,000 (27,000 post-split) shares to Robert W. Raybould, 16,350 (2,044 post-split) shares to Steve Eror, 63,750 (7,968 post-split) shares to Treu; 193,500 (24,118 post-split) shares to Campbell; and 97,500 (12,188 post-split) shares to Morgan; 6) Subsequent to issuance of those shares, ProLung was informed by counsel of potential consequences for Pro Lung employing unlicensed agents and individuals receiving the shares as compensation directly for sale of securities without a securities license, as opposed to receiving shares as compensation for generalized board service. Subsequently, no further shares were issued as compensation for fundraising. Mr. Eror returned his shares to the Company. However, Raybould, Treu, Campbell and Morgan did not return their shares to the Company. ProLung did not disclose the potential licensing violation until on or about December 3, 2018, in its Note Purchase Agreements. 

 

As set forth by the Company in its Form 8-K dated November 27, 2019, Campbell, Treu, Morgan, and Raybould entered into Stipulation and Consent Orders wherein they returned shares of stock to the Company’s treasury and paid fines to the Division of Securities.

 

On January 9, 2020, the Division entered an order as follows: 1) entering certain Findings and Conclusions by the Division, which ProLung admitted via a Stipulation and Consent Order; 2) ordering ProLung to cease and desist from violating Utah Uniform Securities Act (the “Act”) and to comply with the requirements of the Act in all future business in the state of Utah; 3) ordering ProLung to disclose the contents of the order to investors and prospective investors in all future capital raising efforts and disclosure documents of ProLung; and 4) Ordering ProLung to pay a fine of $55,000 to the Division.

 

Note 8 – Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company has raised approximately $1.75M in convertible notes. These notes are convertible at $3.20 per share bear interest at 8% and mature in March 2022.

 

On July 29, 2019, the Company amended a License Agreement dated April 10, 2013 with ProLung China (unrelated party) whereby ProLung China will provide to the Company clinical trial data, know-how and improvements for use outside the greater China area, which includes full collaboration (i.e., protocols and methodologies). In consideration for such trial data and know-how, the Company will make cash payments to ProLung China of up to $575,000 and will issue to ProLung China up to 337,566 Company shares of common stock upon the completion of certain milestones. The Company has paid $100,000 and issued 208,540 shares related to this agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”) of ProLung, Inc. (the “Company”).

 

The statements contained in this Report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should” and “would,” as well as similar expressions, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean a statement is not forward looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, or assumptions, many of which are beyond our control that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause these differences include the following:

 

  We are a development stage company with limited revenue and no assurance of earning significant revenue over the long term.
     
 

We will need significant capital to execute our business plan, particularly as we continue to seek clearance from the FDA to market our ProLung Test™.

     
  We are dependent upon financings to fund our operations and may be unable to continue as a going concern.
     
  We have issued indebtedness and, if we are unable to repay or refinance it, our creditors could foreclose on our assets and force us into bankruptcy.
     
  We are in the early stages of commercialization, and our ProLung Test may never receive marketing approval from the FDA or achieve commercial market acceptance.
     
  Our future growth depends, in part, on our ability to penetrate foreign markets, where we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and other risks and uncertainties.
     
  We are reliant on a single product and if we are not successful in commercializing the ProLung Test and are unable to develop additional products, our business will not succeed.
     
  We are subject to litigation risk for product liability if our ProLung Test is not effective.
     
  We may incur substantial product liability expenses due to manufacturing or design defects, or the use or misuse of our products.
     
  We are subject to the risk of product recalls if our products are defective.
     
  We may not obtain any, or adequate, third-party coverage and reimbursement for our prospective customers.
     
  The absence of, or limits on, reimbursements may affect our revenues and our ability to achieve profitability.
     
  If the ProLung Test is not accepted by physicians and patients, we will be unable to achieve market acceptance.
     
  We are a small company and may be unable to compete with competitive technologies.
     
  We are dependent upon our suppliers to safely and timely manufacture our products.

 

12
 

 

  We are dependent upon third parties for marketing and other aspects of our business.
     
  Any clinical trials that we conduct, including our ongoing trial, may not be completed on schedule, or at all, or may be more expensive than we expect, which could prevent or delay regulatory authorization(s) of our products or impair our financial position.
     
  We engage in related party transactions, which result in a conflict of interest involving our management.
     
  ProLung tests may produce false positive and false negative results.
     
  Our clinical studies, including our ongoing clinical study, may produce unfavorable results.
     
  Our success depends upon our ability to effectively market our products.
     
  We are dependent on key personnel, whose employment may be terminated by the Company or the employee at any time, which could cause significant disruption in our business and lead to significant expenses.
     
  We must obtain regulatory clearance or approval in the US and other non-European Union markets to be able to commence marketing and sales in those markets.
     
  Even if we receive regulatory clearance or approval for the ProLung Test, we still may not be able to successfully commercialize it and the revenue that we generate from its sales, if any, may be limited.
     
  If we obtain FDA clearance or approval, we will be subject to Medical Device Reporting.
     
  Recently proposed healthcare reform measures could hinder or prevent the commercial success of our products.
     
  We will be subject to healthcare fraud and abuse law regulations.
     
  Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and international laws and regulation regarding privacy and data protection. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, penalties, increased cost of operations, or declines in user growth or engagement, or otherwise harm our business.
     
  ProLung clinical study designs have not been reviewed by the FDA, and there is a risk that the FDA will not agree with our study designs or results.
     
  We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights, which are important to the potential value of our products and company.
     
  We rely on an exclusive license maintained by the licensor, and if the licensor does not adequately defend the license our business may be harmed.
     
  We may incur significant costs and liability if we infringe, or are accused of infringing on, the intellectual property rights of others.
     
  We may need to market the ProLung Test under a different name in the EU to avoid the risk of infringement.
     
  If outstanding warrants are exercised, or Convertible Debentures are converted, stockholders will be diluted.
     
  Our officers and directors have significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interests of other stockholders.
     
  Our common stock is not quoted or traded in any market, limiting liquidity opportunities for investors.
     
  Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable and may lead to entrenchment of management.

 

13
 

 

  We are subject to various regulatory regimes, and may be adversely affected by inquiries, investigations and allegations that we have not complied with governing rules and laws.
     
  If a market develops for our common stock, we expect the market price to be volatile and trading in our common stock to be of limited volume.
     
  We have never paid, and do not intend to pay in the future, dividends on our common stock.
     
  We are uncertain when or if full clinical results will be complete and when they will be submitted to the FDA.
     
  Although we are capable of internally manufacturing to meet foreseeable demand, we may at some time be dependent upon contract manufacturers to safely and timely manufacture our products.
     
  While we have completed the on-site procedures for the clinical trials, the statistical plan has not yet been reviewed by the FDA and will likely require up to three months for their review, but there can be no assurance of that timeline.
     
  If we receive FDA approval of our statistical plan, of which there can be no assurance, we will then need to complete the analysis of the study results; we anticipate this will take one month, but can provide no assurance as to this timing.
     
  There is no guarantee that FDA approval will lead to the ProLung Test being approved by payors for reimbursement.
     
  Our ProLung Test may produce false positive and false negative results.

 

In addition, please review the other, and more detailed, risk factors discussed in our 2017 Form 10-K.

 

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions, or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

We are a medical technology company specializing in predictive analytic, early stage lung cancer risk testing, which we refer to as the “ProLung Test.” Our non-invasive, rapid and radiation-free ProLung Test was developed to assess the risk of malignancy in lung nodules found in the chest by a Computed Tomography (“CT”) scan, which is currently the primary method used for the early detection of lung cancer. As lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, early detection makes a substantial improvement in survival in a large population group. Timely identification of malignancy is essential for patients and their families. Currently, patients often wait from three months to three and one-half years to have the risk of malignancy assessed through periodic CT scan surveillance. Until malignancy is determined to be likely, invasive biopsy and treatment are significantly delayed. Current statistics reflect a 17% survival rate at five years for those diagnosed with lung cancer.

 

We believe the ProLung Test, in conjunction with the discovery of a nodule by CT scan, provides a more rapid assessment of the risk of malignancy, which must be determined prior to biopsy. Since a lung biopsy is invasive and may require life threatening thoracic surgery, physicians, patients, and insurance companies typically delay biopsy and therapy until the risk of malignancy outweighs the risk of further diagnostic procedures. For these patients, the delay reduces the treatment opportunity window and may cause sustained emotional trauma. 

 

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

Results of Operations

 

The following discussion is included to describe our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain detailed information that should be referred to in conjunction with this discussion.

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

 

Revenues and Cost of Revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 we had no revenues or cost of revenues.

 

Operating Expenses. Total operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $590,846 compared to the total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 of $1,282,132, representing a decrease of $691,286. Operating expenses have been classified by management as either research and development or selling, general and administrative based on an assignment of certain expenses directly to these classifications or based on management’s allocation of certain expenses between these classifications.

 

The overall decrease in operating expense is primarily due to us having a cash shortage and eliminating all unnecessary expenses. During the same period of 2018, we incurred significant costs related to fundraising, business development and administrative costs. Due to various resignations and reductions in force our amortization of stock-based compensation was much higher in 2018 to 2019.

 

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019, was $152,777, compared to research and development expense of $685,971 for the three months ended June 30, 2018; representing a decrease of $533,194. This decrease was mostly due to our elimination of non-essential labor and other costs. Due to the decrease in employees we also experienced a decrease of our amortization of stock-based compensation. We would expect our research and development costs to remain relatively constant for the remainder of 2019 unless we receive additional funding.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $438,069 compared to selling, general and administrative of $596,161 for the three months ended June 30, 2018; representing a decrease of $158,092. This significant decrease was due to allocating our limited cash resources to essential activities and eliminating all non-essential administrative activities. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018 we incurred significant travel, legal, professional and consulting expense related to investor relations, public relations, company awareness and indirect costs incurred as we concluded the public offering process. However, in February 2018, we elected to terminate our relationship with our underwriters and cancelled the offering. This is slightly offset by the accruing the settlement with the Utah Division of Securities for $55,000

 

Other Expense. Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $97,466 as compared to $516,747 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 representing an increase of $419,281. This decrease was primarily due to our write off of deferred offering costs and one-time loan costs incurred during April and May of 2018. Once we terminated our offering, we pursued debt funds rather than an equity offering. Also, the convertible promissory notes issued outstanding will have accrued interest throughout 2019.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

 

Revenues and Cost of Revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 we had no revenues or cost of revenues.

 

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $996,599 compared to the total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $2,792,107 representing a decrease of $1,795,508. Operating expenses have been classified by management as either research and development or selling, general and administrative based on an assignment of certain expenses directly to these classifications or based on management’s allocation of certain expenses between these classifications.

 

The overall decrease in operating expense is primarily due to us having a cash shortage and eliminating all unnecessary expenses. During the same period of 2018, we incurred significant costs related to fundraising, business development and administrative costs. Due to various resignations and reductions in force our amortization of stock-based compensation was much higher in 2018 to 2019.

 

15
 

 

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was $349,928, compared to research and development expense of $1,111,816 for the six months ended June 30, 2018; representing a decrease of $761,888. This decrease during 2019 was mostly due to our elimination of non-essential labor and other costs. Due to the decrease in employees we also experienced a decrease of our amortization of stock-based compensation. We would expect our research and development costs to remain relatively constant for the remainder of 2019 unless we receive additional funding.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was $646,671 compared to selling, general and administrative of $1,680,291 for the six months ended June 30, 2018; representing a decrease of $1,033,620. This significant decrease was due to allocating our limited cash resources to essential activities and eliminating all non-essential administrative activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 we incurred significant travel, legal, professional and consulting expense related to investor relations, public relations, company awareness and indirect costs incurred as we concluded the public offering process. However, in February 2018, we elected to terminate our relationship with our underwriters and cancelled the offering. We also incurred significant stock-based compensation to Board Members and employees during 2018; due to Board resignations and a reduction in work force this expense decreased during 2019. This is slightly offset by the accruing the settlement with the Utah Division of Securities for $55,000

 

Other Expense. Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $829,853 as compared to $563,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 representing an increase of $266,653. This increase was primarily due to our loss on debt extinguishment. In January 2019, the holders of certain convertible debt were given the opportunity to extend the maturity date of their notes and receive a lower conversion rate. Since the adjustment was so significant, we considered the notes extinguished and subsequently reissued. As a result, we recognized a $633,628 loss on the extinguishment. This increase is offset by our write off of deferred offering costs and one-time loan costs incurred during April and May of 2018.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following is a summary of our key liquidity measures at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2019   2018 
         
Cash  $24,689   $249,286 
           
Current assets   47,684    273,539 
Current liabilities   (907,159)   (507,353)
           
Working (deficit) capital  $(859,475)  $(233,814)

 

We need additional capital to continue our operations. We issued $450,000 in convertible notes during the three months ended June 30, 2019. In order for us to continue operations we will need additional capital which will require us to issue equity securities, debt securities and rights to acquire equity securities. We have no existing commitment to provide capital, and given our early stage of development, we may be unable to raise sufficient capital when needed and, in any case, will likely be required to pay a high price for capital.

 

Our future capital requirements and adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors including:

 

16
 

 

Cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities

 

Cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

Operating Activities

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the differences between our net loss and net cash used in operating activities were due to net non-cash charges totaling $875,790 for loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discount and depreciation.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the differences between our net loss and net cash used in operating activities were due to net non-cash charges totaling $1,452,313 for stock-based compensation, write-off of deferred offering costs, amortization of debt discount and depreciation.

 

Investing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 we paid $5,000 for certain licensing rights in China. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 we sold certain equipment for $8,540.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash flows from financing activities totaled $450,000. The cash flows were related to proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash flows from financing activities totaled $2,660,475. The cash flows were related to proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes net of loan costs paid.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events may cause us to change our assumptions and estimates, which may require adjustment. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We have determined that for the periods reported in this Quarterly Annual Report on Form 10-Q the following accounting policies and estimates are critical in understanding our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Long-lived Assets – Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, and intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, we compare the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group. If this comparison indicates that there is an impairment, the amount of the impairment is calculated based on fair value.

 

Convertible Debt – The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that has conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized as a discount equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, which is also recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

 

17
 

 

Stock-based Compensation – The Company measures the cost of employee and consulting services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The awards issued are valued using a fair value-based measurement method. The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which an employee or consultant is required to provide services in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

 

Emerging Growth Company – We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. Although we have not delayed the adoption of any accounting standards, we may choose to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards in the future.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has not had any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

This item is not applicable to the Company because the Company is a smaller reporting company.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2019. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Based on that evaluation, our interim chief executive officer concluded as of June 30, 2019 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our interim chief executive officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company did not maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures as defined by the framework issued by COSO. Specifically, the Company did not effectively segregate certain accounting duties due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. In order to mitigate these material weaknesses regular meetings are held with the audit committee and the audit committee approves all audit functions. If at any time, we determine a new control can be implemented to mitigate these risks at a reasonable cost, it is implemented as soon as possible.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. RISK FACTORS
