REGISTRATION STATEMENT PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
DATED FEBRUARY 2, 2021
QUANTA, INC.
50,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
3606 W. Magnolia Blvd.
Burbank, CA 91505
(818) 659-8052
www.buyquanta.com
We are offering (the “Offering”) up to 50,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering”) shares (the “Shares”) of our Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) on a “best efforts” basis at a fixed offering price of $0.25 per share. The minimum purchase requirement per investor is $1,000 (20,000 shares); however, we can waive the minimum purchase requirement on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion. See “Securities Being Offered” beginning on page 28.
Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. These are speculative securities. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See “Risk Factors” starting on page 3 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in our Common Stock.
Our Common Stock currently trades on the OTC Market’s Pinks under the symbol “QNTA” and the closing price of our common stock on January 19, 2021 was $0.0629. Our common stock currently trades on a sporadic and limited basis. Our Board of Directors used its business judgment in setting the $0.25 purchase price per share to the Company as consideration for the stock to be issued in this offering. The purchase price per share bears no relationship to our book value or any other measure of our current value or worth.
We expect to commence the sale of the Shares as soon as practicable after the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part (the “Registration Statement”) is declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) 365 days after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, (ii) the date on which the Maximum Offering is sold, or (iii) when the Company elects to terminate the offering for any reason (in each such case, the “Termination Date”).
There is no minimum offering amount that we must sell before we close. We have made no arrangements to place subscription proceeds in escrow, trust or a similar account, which means that we have the right, subject to applicable securities laws, to begin applying “dollar one” of the proceeds from the Offering towards our business strategy, including, without limitation, research and development expenses, offering expenses, working capital and general corporate purposes and other uses, as more specifically set forth in the “Use of Proceeds to Issuer” section of this S-1. We will hold closings, from time to time until the Termination Date, upon the receipt of investors’ subscriptions and acceptance of such subscriptions by the Company. Subscriptions made by investors pursuant to subscription agreements in this Offering are irrevocable.

| (1) | The minimum investment amount for each subscription is 20,000 shares or $1,000. The Offering may be made, in management’s discretion, directly to investors by the management of the Company on a “best efforts” basis. We do not intend to use commissioned sales agents or underwriters; however, we reserve the right to offer the Shares through broker-dealers who are registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). We may be required to retain a broker-dealer or register as an issuer-dealer and/or agent under the blue sky laws of certain states in order to make offers to sell our Shares in those states. There can be no guarantee that we will be approved as an issuer-dealer and/or agent in any or all of the states which we determine require such registration. If we do not engage a broker-dealer or register as an issuer-dealer and/or agent in the foregoing states, we will not offer and sell the Shares in such states. |
| (2) | The amounts shown are before deducting offering costs to us, which include legal, accounting, printing, due diligence, marketing, consulting, selling and other costs incurred in this offering, estimated to be $22,500. No proceeds of the Offering will be provided to other persons, except as set forth herein. |
| (3) | The Shares are being offered pursuant to The Securities Act of 1933. The Company is following the “Form S-1 Registration Statement” format of disclosure under the Securities Act of 1933. We have the option in our sole discretion to accept less than the minimum investment. |

In light of these risks and uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this S-1 speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or to publicly announce the results of any revision to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments, except as required by applicable law.

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Our business and our ability to execute our business strategy are subject to a number of risks as more fully described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3. These risks include, among others:
| ● | We have incurred operating losses since we began operations and may not be profitable in the future. We will require additional financing to support our on-going operations; | |

| ● | The other factors described in “Risk Factors.” |

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this S-1, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the price of our shares of Common Stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above for a discussion of forward-looking statements and the significance of such statements in the context of this S-1.
Risks Related to our Business
We will require additional financing to support our on-going operations.
We will require equity and/or debt financing to support on-going operations, to undertake capital expenditures or to undertake acquisitions or other business combination transactions. A number of factors could cause us to incur higher borrowing costs and experience greater difficulty accessing public and private markets for debt. These factors include disruptions or declines in the global capital markets and/or a decline in our financial performance, outlook, or credit ratings. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or on terms which are acceptable. Our inability to raise financing to fund on-going operations, capital expenditures or acquisitions may adversely affect our ability to fund our operations, meet contractual commitments, make future investments or desirable acquisitions, or respond to competitive challenges and may have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.
If additional funds are raised through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities issued could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of Common Stock. Any debt financing secured in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.
We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $5,931,000 and used cash in operating activities of $1,804,000, and at September 30, 2020, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,850,000. 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 $11,000. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company received $1,634,000 from the issuance of 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 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.
| 3 |
We have identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
Maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and effective disclosure controls and procedures are necessary for us to produce reliable financial statements. We have evaluated our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that they were not effective as of December 31, 2019. See “Item 9A – Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2019.
A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses we identified are (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.
The Company is committed to remediating its material weaknesses as promptly as possible. Implementation of the Company’s remediation plans has commenced and is being overseen by the board. However, there can be no assurance as to when these material weaknesses will be remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. Even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. Any failure to remediate the material weaknesses, or the development of new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock and we could fail to meet our financial reporting obligations. We have identified weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.
If not remediated, our failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and a failure to meet our reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock.
The recent global coronavirus outbreak could harm our business and results of operations.
The adverse public health developments and economic effects of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States could adversely affect the Company’s operations as a result of quarantines, facility closures and logistics restrictions in connection with the outbreak. More broadly, the outbreak could potentially lead to an economic downturn, which would likely decrease spending, adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company cannot accurately predict the effect the COVID-19 outbreak will have on the Company.
We may experience difficulties in generating profits.
We may experience difficulties in our development process, such as capacity constraints, quality control problems or other disruptions, which would make it more difficult to generate profits. Our failure to achieve a low-cost structure through economies of scale or improvements in manufacturing processes and design could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
We will likely incur significant costs and obligations in relation to our ongoing and anticipated business operations.
We expect to incur significant ongoing costs and obligations related to our investment in infrastructure and growth and for regulatory compliance, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, future changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the company.
| 4 |
We are reliant on key employees in the management of our business and loss of their services could materially adversely affect our business.
Our success is dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of our senior management. While employment agreements or management agreements are customarily used as a primary method of retaining the services of key employees, these agreements cannot assure the continued services of such employees. Any loss of the services of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or prospects.
Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules implemented by the SEC required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, these rules and regulations increase our compliance costs and make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, these rules and regulations also make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may at times be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. Thus, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers, and to maintain insurance at reasonable rates, or at all.
Our business is heavily regulated which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
The business and activities of the company are heavily regulated in all jurisdictions where it carries on business. Our operations are subject to various laws, regulations and guidelines by governmental authorities, relating to the manufacture, marketing, management, transportation, storage, sale, pricing and disposal of marijuana and cannabis oil, and also including laws and regulations relating to health and safety, insurance coverage, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. Laws and regulations, applied generally, grant government agencies and self-regulatory bodies broad administrative discretion over the activities of the company, including the power to limit or restrict business activities as well as impose additional disclosure requirements on our products and services. Achievement of our business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by governmental authorities and obtaining all regulatory approvals, where necessary, for the sale of our products. Similarly, we cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals for its products, or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by governmental authorities. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals would significantly delay the development of markets and products and could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the company.
We will incur ongoing costs and obligations related to regulatory compliance. Failure to comply with regulations may lead to possible sanctions including the revocation or imposition of additional conditions on licenses to operate our business, the suspension or expulsion from a particular market or jurisdiction or of our key personnel, and the imposition of fines and censures. In addition, changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the company.
Our industry is subject to intense competition.
There is potential that we will face intense competition from other companies, some of which can be expected to have longer operating histories and more financial resources and experience than the company. Increased competition by larger and better-financed competitors could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the company. If we are unable to compete effectively, it could decrease our customer traffic, sales and profit margins, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
| 5 |
Because of the early stage of the industry in which we operate, we expect to face additional competition from new entrants. To become and remain competitive, we will require research and development, marketing, sales and support. We may not have sufficient resources to maintain research and development, marketing, sales and support efforts on a competitive basis which could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the company.
We have a limited operating history.
The Company and its subsidiaries have varying and limited operating histories, which can make it difficult for investors to evaluate our operations and prospects and may increase the risks associated with investment into the company.
We are reliant on key inputs and changes in their costs could negatively impact our profitability.
The manufacturing business is dependent on a number of key inputs and their related costs including raw materials and supplies related to product development and manufacturing operations. Any significant interruption or negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs could materially impact the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the company. Some of these inputs may only be available from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. If a sole source supplier was to go out of business, the company might be unable to find a replacement for such source in a timely manner or at all. If a sole source supplier were to be acquired by a competitor, that competitor may elect not to sell to the company in the future. Any inability to secure required supplies and services or to do so on appropriate terms could have a materially adverse impact on the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the company.
We are subject to environmental regulations.
Our operations are subject to environmental regulations in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulations, if any, will not adversely affect our operations.
Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. We may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage due to our operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.
The market for our products is difficult to forecast and our forecasts may not be accurate which could negatively impact our results of operations.
We must rely largely on our own market research to forecast sales as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early stage of the industry. A failure in the demand for our products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the company.
We are subject to certain risks regarding the management of our growth.
We may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and controls. The ability of the company to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of the company to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

We are subject to product liability regarding our products, which could result in costly litigation and settlements.
As a distributor of products designed to be ingested by humans, the company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the sale of our products involves the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of our products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that our products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances.
A product liability claim or regulatory action against the company could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition of the company. Although we have secured product liability insurance, and strictly enforce a quality standard within the operations, there can be no assurances that we will be able to maintain our product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. This scenario could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our potential products. To date, there have been no product related issues.
We may have uninsured or uninsurable risk.
We may be subject to liability for risks against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure due to the high cost of insurance premiums or other factors. The payment of any such liabilities would reduce the funds available for our normal business activities. Payment of liabilities for which the company does not carry insurance may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.
Certain remedies shareholders may seek against our officers and directors may be limited and such officers and directors may be entitled to indemnification by the company.
Our governing documents provide that the liability of our board of directors and officers is eliminated to the fullest extent allowed under the laws of the State of Nevada. Thus, the company and the shareholders of the company may be prevented from recovering damages for alleged errors or omissions made by the members of our board of directors and officers. Our governing documents also provide that the company will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify members of our board of directors and officers for certain liabilities incurred by them by virtue of their acts on behalf of the company.

Breaches in our security, cyber-attacks or other cyber-risks could expose us to significant liability and cause our business and reputation to suffer.
Our operations involve transmission and processing of our customers’ confidential, proprietary and sensitive information. We have legal and contractual obligations to protect the confidentiality and appropriate use of customer data. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks as a result of third-party action, employee error or misconduct. Security risks, including, but not limited to, unauthorized use or disclosure of customer data, theft of proprietary information, loss or corruption of customer data and computer hacking attacks or other cyber-attacks, could expose us to substantial litigation expenses and damages, indemnity and other contractual obligations, government fines and penalties, mitigation expenses and other liabilities. We are continuously working to improve our information technology systems, together with creating security boundaries around our critical and sensitive assets. We provide advance security awareness training to our employees and contractors that focuses on various aspects of the cyber security world. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until successfully launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures and our products could be harmed, we could lose potential sales and existing customers, our ability to operate our business could be impaired, and we may incur significant liabilities.
Risks related to this Offering and the Ownership of our Common Stock
For the foreseeable future, Phil Sands or his affiliates will be able to control the selection of all members of our board of directors, as well as virtually every other matter that requires stockholder approval, which will severely limit the ability of other stockholders to influence corporate matters.
As of the date of this S-1, Phil Sands owned 100% of our Series A preferred stock. Under the terms of the Certificate of Designation for our Series A preferred stock, holders of Series A preferred stock have, as a class, voting rights equal to 51% of the total votes of all outstanding common and preferred stock entitled to vote. Because of this dual class structure, Phil Sands, his affiliates, his family members and descendants will, for the foreseeable future, have control over our management and affairs, and will be able to control virtually all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions such as mergers or sales of our company or assets. Moreover, these persons may take actions in their own interests that you or our other stockholders do not view as beneficial. The holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock 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 our Articles of Incorporation. Accordingly, for any matters with respect to which a majority vote of our Common Stock may be required by law, our directors and officers (and Mr. Rice, in particular) have the ability to control such matters. Because of this voting control, investors may find it difficult or impossible to replace our directors if they disagree with the way our business is being operated.
Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment. The SEC defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The shares of Common Stock are covered by the penny stock rules pursuant to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the securities of the company that are captured by the penny stock rules. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. Management believes that the penny stock rules could discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our Common Stock.
| 8 |
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock, which could depress the price of our common stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending an investment to a customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Pursuant to the interpretation of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, the FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend our Common Stock to customers which may limit an investor’s ability to buy and sell our Common Stock, have an adverse effect on the market for our Common Stock, and thereby negatively impact the price of our Common Stock.
Our Common Stock is subject to liquidity risks.
Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC in the United States. The OTC is an over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than national or regional exchanges. Securities quoted on the OTC are usually thinly traded, highly volatile, have fewer market makers and are not followed by analysts. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC. Prices for securities quoted solely on the OTC may be difficult to obtain and holders of our securities may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original acquisition price, or at any price. We cannot predict at what prices our Common Stock will trade and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could cause our stock price to fall.
If our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the contractual restrictions on resale of such common stock lapse, or after those shares become registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement, the trading price of our common stock could decline. The majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock are currently without restriction. Upon the effectiveness of any registration statement we could elect to file with respect to any outstanding shares of common stock, any sales of those shares or any perception in the market that such sales may occur could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.
The shares of our Common Stock we may issue in the future and the options we may issue in the future may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock and cause dilution to investors.
We may issue shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock pursuant to private offerings and we may issue options to purchase Common Stock to our executive officers pursuant to their employment agreements. The sale, or even the possibility of sale, of shares pursuant to a separate offering or to executive officers could have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock or on our ability to obtain future financing.
Our stock price may be volatile and you may not be able to sell your shares for more than what you paid.
Our stock price may be subject to significant volatility, and you may not be able to sell shares of Common Stock at or above the price you paid for them. The trading price of our Common Stock has been subject to fluctuations in the past and the market price of our Common Stock could continue to fluctuate in the future in response to various factors, including, but not limited to: quarterly variations in operating results; our ability to control costs and improve cash flow; announcements of innovations or new products by us or by our competitors; changes in investor perceptions; and new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors. An investment in our common stock is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in us, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

There is no minimum offering.
We do not have a minimum offering requirement, and we may use the proceeds from this Offering immediately following our acceptance of the corresponding subscription agreements. We do not have any track record for self-underwritten offerings, and there can be no assurance we will sell the Maximum Offering or any other amount in this Offering. There is no assurance that we will raise sufficient capital from this Offering to implement our business plan, potentially resulting in greater operating losses unless we are able to raise the required capital from alternative sources. There is no assurance that alternative capital, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Investors may pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock which may reduce the market price for our common stock.
The common stock to be issued to the investors pursuant to this S-1 will be purchased at a fixed price of $0.25 per share. If the then-prevailing market price exceeds such amount, investors have a financial incentive to sell our common stock quickly to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If the investors sell the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease.
We have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds of this Offering, and may not use these proceeds effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
We will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this Offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from this Offering to fund our business strategy, including without limitation, new and ongoing research and development expenses, offering expenses, working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include funding for the hiring of additional personnel. As a result, investors will be relying upon management’s judgment with only limited information about our specific intentions for the use of the balance of the net proceeds of this Offering. We may use the net proceeds for purposes that do not yield a significant return or any return at all for our stockholders. In addition, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this Offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
We may terminate this Offering at any time.
We reserve the right to terminate this Offering at any time, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock sold. In the event that we terminate this Offering at any time prior to the sale of all of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby, whatever amount of capital that we have raised at that time will have already been utilized by the Company and no funds will be returned to subscribers.

As of the date of this S-1, an aggregate of 47,256,970 shares of our Common Stock are issued and outstanding. If you purchase Shares in this Offering, your ownership interest in our Common Stock may be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each Share in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this Offering.
Except as otherwise indicted herein, the number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 47,256,970 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of January 22, 2021. and excludes the following:
| ● | 2,732,261 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options as of that date having a weighted average exercise price of $0.11 per share; | |
| ● | 61,171,291 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes having an exercise price of $0.01 per share to $0.07 per share; and | |
| ● | 4,750,000 shares of vested restricted common stock to be issued; |
Net Tangible Book Value
Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2020 was $(1,850,000) or $(0.04) per share based on 60,779,130 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of such date. Net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, all as of the date specified. After giving effect to our sale of the maximum Offering amount of $12,477,500 in securities, after deducting approximately $22,500 in estimated offering expenses payable by us, and assuming no other changes since September 30, 2020, our as-adjusted net tangible book value would be approximately $10,627,500, or $0.11 per share. At an Offering price of $0.25 per share, this represents an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.14 per share to investors of this Offering, as illustrated in the following table:
| Assumed Public Offering price per share | $ | 0.25 | ||||||
| Net tangible book value per share | $ | (0.04 | ) | |||||

| Adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering | $ | 0.11 | ||||||
| Dilution per share to new investors in the Offering | $ | 0.14 |
The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Shares offered for sale in this Offering (after deducting our estimated offering expenses of approximately $22,500):

Plan of Distribution for Quanta, Inc.’s Public Offering of 50,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
This is a self-underwritten (“best-efforts”) offering. This prospectus is part of a registration statement that permits our officers and directors to sell the shares being offered by the Company directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to them for any shares they may sell. Presently, we expect that our officers and directors will personally contact existing shareholders, friends, family members and business acquaintances and inform them about the offering. In addition, we may market the offering to institutional investors through our officers and directors. We may also offer our shares of common stock through brokers, dealers or agents, although we have no current plans or arrangements to do so. The company has been contacted by multiple financial institutions, as well as fielded interest from existing shareholders that give the Company assurance as to the marketability of its shares to these identified parties. This offering will terminate on the date which is 365 days from the effective date of this prospectus, although we may close the offering on any date prior if the offering is fully subscribed or upon the vote of our board of directors.
In offering the securities on our behalf, our officers and directors will rely on the safe harbor from broker dealer registration set forth in Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act. The officers and directors will not register as broker-dealers pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1, which sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the Issuer’s securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer. In that regard, we confirm that:
| a. | None of our officers or directors are subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act; | |
| b. | None of our officers or directors will be compensated in connection with their participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in the common stock; | |
| c. | None of our officers or directors is or will be, at the time of his participation in the offering, an associated person of a broker-dealer; and | |
| d. | Our officers and directors meet the conditions of paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that each (A) primarily perform substantial duties for or on our behalf, other than in connection with transactions in securities, and (B) is not a broker or dealer, or has been an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months, and (C) has not participated in selling and offering securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii) of Rule 3a4-1. |
None of our officers or directors, control persons or affiliates intend to purchase any shares in this offering.
Selling Security Holders
No securities are being sold for the account of security holders; all net proceeds of this Offering will go to the Company.

If the Maximum Offering is sold, the maximum gross proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock in this Offering will be $12,500,000. The net proceeds from the total Maximum Offering are expected to be approximately $12,477,500, after the payment of offering costs (including filing fees, and legal, accounting, printing, due diligence, marketing, selling and other costs incurred in the Offering of the Shares). The estimate of the budget for offering costs is an estimate only and the actual offering costs may differ. We expressly reserve the right to change the anticipated use of proceeds if we, in our discretion, deem such change to be necessary or appropriate. We expect from time to time to evaluate the acquisition of businesses, strategic partnership, intellectual property, products and technologies for which a portion of the net proceeds may be used, although we currently are not planning or negotiating any such transactions. The following table represents management’s best current estimate of the uses of the net proceeds received from the sale of Common Stock in this Offering over the course of 12 months following completion of the Offering, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of Shares of the Common Stock offered for sale in this Offering, with the balance of the net proceeds reflected in the line item titled “Unallocated Proceeds for General Corporate Purposes.” Management expects to use the unallocated proceeds from the sale of Common Stock in this Offering in approximately the same proportions reflected in the following table for the purposes specified below on a going-forward basis after the first 12 months following completion of the Offering.

| 100% | 75% | 50% | 25% | |||||||||||||

This expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current financial condition, results of operations, business plans and conditions. Our management has significant flexibility and broad discretion in applying the net proceeds received in this Offering. We cannot assure you that our assumptions, expected costs and expenses and estimates will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen events, problems or delays will not occur that would require us to seek additional debt and/or equity funding, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. See “Risk Factors” starting on page 3.
The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds raised in this Offering to fund the compensation payable to its executive officers, as described under “Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers” below. In addition, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Common Stock in this Offering to repay some of the outstanding balance under the Company’s outstanding indebtedness.
We believe that if we raise the Maximum Amount in this Offering, that we will have sufficient capital to finance our operations for at least the next 12 months. However, if we do not sell the Maximum Amount or if our operating and development costs are higher than expected, we will need to obtain additional financing prior to that time. Further, we expect that during or after such 12-month period, we will be required to raise additional funds to finance our operations until such time that we can conduct profitable revenue-generating activities.

Our Company History
The company was founded in Nevada as Freight Solution, Inc. in 2016.
On June 5, 2018, we underwent a change of control. In connection with the change of control, our board of directors and officers was reconstituted through the resignation of Shane Ludington as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Registrant and the appointment of Mr. Eric Rice as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Jeffrey Doiron as President and Chief Operations Officer.
On June 6, 2018 we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Quanta Acquisition Corp. in the state of California, and executed an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, with Bioanomaly, Inc., a California corporation, d/b/a Quanta and Quanta Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Quanta Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Quanta in a statutory reverse triangular merger with Quanta surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Following the merger, we adopted our business plan.
On June 6, 2018, we cancelled 15,000,000 shares of common stock acquired through the change in control transaction. As consideration for the merger, we agreed to issue the shareholders of Quanta an aggregate of 21,908,810 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Freight Solution shareholders retained 6,500,000 shares of common stock, which represented 23% of our issued and outstanding stock following the merger.
Simultaneously with the merger, we accepted subscriptions for 6,500,000 shares of common stock in a private placement offering at a purchase price of $0.20 per share for an aggregate offering amount of $1,300,000. We also issued two non-affiliated investors warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share expiring in four years.
Following the consummation of the merger, Quanta shareholders beneficially owned approximately 63% of our issued and outstanding common stock.
On July 11, 2018 the State of Nevada approved our name change from Freight Solution, Inc. to Quanta, Inc.
On April 14, 2020, we issued to Eric Rice, our former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 2,500,000 shares of a newly created class of preferred stock, Series A Preferred Stock.
On November 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Control Block Transfer Agreement with Eric Rice and Phil Sands, pursuant to which, Mr. Rice agreed to transfer 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock to Mr. Sands, representing a transfer of majority voting control over the Company because the holder of such 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock automatically carries a vote equal to 51% on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock. On November 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Cancellation Agreement with Eric Rice, holder of 18,030,032 shares of QNTA Common Stock, pursuant to which Mr. Rice agreed to cancel 17,030,032 shares (16,951,432 shares were cancelled December 29, 2020), and to retain ownership of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
On December 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Medolife Rx, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, (“Medolife”) pursuant to which, the Company agreed to acquire 51% of Medolife in exchange for 9,000 shares of newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. On January 14, 2021, we completed our acquisition of 51% of Medolife and Medolife’s founder, Arthur Mikaelian, PhD, a member of our Board of Directors, officially replaced Phil Sands as our Chief Executive Officer. Phil Sands remains our President and serves with serves with Dr. Mikaelian on our Board of Directors.
Medolife provides contract research services. The Company focuses on research, development, and production of pharmaceutical-grade products, as well as clinical evidence-based nutraceuticals utilizing patented polarization technology. Medolife Rx serves clients in the United States.
Quanta Basics
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.
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 can 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.

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.
As of the date of this S-1, Quanta has 10 full time and no part time employees. We believe we enjoy good employee relations. None of our employees are members of any labor union, and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.

Liquidity
We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $5,031,000 and used cash in operating activities of $1,804,000, and at September 30, 2020, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,850,000. 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 $11,000. Subsequent to September 30, 2020 the Company received $119,000 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:
| 20 |
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 March 31, 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”.

Board of Directors
Each director is elected to the board of directors and serves until his or her successor is elected and qualified, unless he or she resigns or is removed earlier. each of our officers is elected by our board of directors to a term of one (1) year and serves until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until he or she is earlier removed from office or resigns.
At the very least, we will reimburse all directors for expenses incurred in attending directors’ meetings provided that we have sufficient resources to pay these expenses. We will consider in applying for officers and directors liability insurance at such time that we have the financial resources to do so.
Currently, our Board of Directors consists of two members: our CEO Dr. Arthur Mikaelian, and our President, Phil Sands.
| 22 |
Committees of the Board of Directors
Concurrent with having sufficient members and resources, our board of directors intends to establish an audit committee and a compensation committee. The audit committee will review the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by the independent auditors and review and evaluate the system of internal controls. The compensation committee will review and recommend compensation arrangements for the officers and employees. No final determination has yet been made as to the memberships of these committees or when we will have sufficient members to establish committees. We believe that we will need a minimum of three independent directors to have effective committee systems.
As of the date hereof, we have not established any board committees.
Family Relationships
No family relationship exists between any director, executive officer, or any person contemplated to become such.
Director Independence
We currently do not have any independent directors serving on our board of directors.
Potential Conflicts
The OTC Markets, on which we have our shares of common stock quoted, does not currently have any director independence requirements.
No member of management will be required by us to work on a full-time basis. Accordingly, certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our officer(s) and director(s) in that they may have other business interests in the future to which they devote their attention, and they may be expected to continue to do so although management time must also be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of such judgment as is consistent with each officer’s understanding of his/her fiduciary duties to us.
Currently we have only one director, Eric Rice, who is also our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and will seek to add additional officer(s) and/or director(s) as and when the proper personnel are located and terms of employment are mutually negotiated and agreed, and we have sufficient capital resources and cash flow to make such offers.
We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
None of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
| ● | has had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; | |

Our board of directors shall oversee compliance with the code of ethics as it relates to the company through an officer designated by the board.

Director Compensation
We have no arrangement to compensate directors for their services in their capacity as directors. Directors are not paid for meetings attended. However, we intend to review and consider future proposals regarding board compensation. All travel and lodging expenses associated with corporate matters are reimbursed by us, if and when incurred.
Pension Table
None.
Retirement Plans
We do not offer any annuity, pension, or retirement benefits to be paid to any of our officers, directors, or employees in the event of retirement. There are also no compensatory plans or arrangements with respect to any individual named above which results or will result from the resignation, retirement, or any other termination of employment with our company, or from a change in the control of our Company.
Compensation Committee
We do not have a separate compensation committee. Instead, our board of directors reviews and approves executive compensation policies and practices, reviews salaries and bonuses for other officers, administers our stock option plans and other benefit plans, if any, and considers other matters that may be brought forth to it.
Risk Management Considerations
We believe our compensation policies and practices for our employees, including our executive officers, do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Except as set forth below, we have not entered into any transactions with our officers, directors, persons nominated for these positions, beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, or family members of those persons wherein the amount involved in the transaction or a series of similar transactions exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets for the last two fiscal years, including the transition period ended December 31, 2018.
On April 14, 2020, we issued to Eric Rice, our former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 2,500,000 shares of a newly created class of preferred stock, Series A Preferred Stock, in a private placement transaction in satisfaction of certain accrued but unpaid compensation in the amount of $120,000 then owed to Mr. Rice.
On November 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Control Block Transfer Agreement with Eric Rice and Phil Sands, pursuant to which, Mr. Rice agreed to transfer 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock to Mr. Sands, representing a transfer of majority voting control over the Company because the holder of such 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock automatically carries a vote equal to 51% on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Mr. Rice agreed to transfer the Control Block to Phil Sands in order to consummate the Company’s transition into a holding company, without requiring the Company to further dilute its stock through the issuance of new shares.
On November 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Cancellation Agreement with Eric Rice, holder of 18,030,032 shares of QNTA Common Stock, pursuant to which Mr. Rice agreed to cancel 17,030,032 shares (16,951,432 shares were cancelled December 29, 2020), and to retain ownership of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Rice agreed to cancel and return to treasury 17,030,032 shares in order to assist the Company with its plans to attract experienced management, reorganize into a holding company, while transitioning the Company’s existing CBD business operations into a newly formed operating subsidiary, without requiring QNTA to further dilute its stock through the issuance of new shares.
On December 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Medolife Rx, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, (“Medolife Rx”) pursuant to which, the Company agreed to acquire 51% of Medolife Rx in exchange for 9,000 shares of newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which, were issued to Dr. Arthur Mikaelian upon closing on January 14, 2021. Dr. Mikaelian’s 9,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into fifty-four percent (54%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a fully converted basis.
Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Our board of directors is responsible to approve all related party transactions. Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders. We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our board of directors, or an appropriate committee thereof.
Director Independence
For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Director” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Currently, Eric Rice is our sole director. According to the NASDAQ definition, Mr. Rice is not an independent director because he currently holds the title of an officer in the company.

The following is a summary of the rights of our Common Stock as provided in our Certificate of Incorporation, and bylaws. For more detailed information, please see our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws which have been filed (or incorporated by reference) as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
This Prospectus relates to the offer and sale of up to 50,000,000 Shares of our Common Stock.
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The holders of our Common Stock:
| ● | have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available for payment of dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors; | |
| ● | are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets available for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; | |
| ● | do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, or redemption or access to any sinking fund; and | |
| ● | are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters submitted to stockholders for a vote at any meeting of stockholders |
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
Nevada law does not require stockholder approval for the issuance of authorized shares. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock (or preferred stock) may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our board by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of our common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
Shareholder Matters
As an issuer of “penny stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us if our shares are considered to be penny stocks (which they currently are and probably will be for the foreseeable future). Although the federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us, including this S-1, contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.
As a Nevada corporation, we are subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS” or “Nevada law”). Certain provisions of Nevada law described below create rights that might be deemed material to our shareholders. Other provisions might delay or make more difficult acquisitions of our stock or changes in our control or might also have the effect of preventing changes in our management or might make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that some of our shareholders may believe to be in their best interests.

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, our former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Eric Rice, was issued all 2,500,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, giving him effective voting control over the Company’s affairs.
On November 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Control Block Transfer Agreement with Eric Rice and Phil Sands, pursuant to which, Mr. Rice agreed to transfer 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock to Mr. Sands, representing a transfer of majority voting control over the Company because the holder of such 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock automatically carries a vote equal to 51% on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Mr. Rice agreed to transfer the Control Block to Phil Sands in order to consummate the Company’s transition into a holding company, without requiring the Company to further dilute its stock through the issuance of new shares. Since November 16, 2020, Phil Sands has owned all 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock.
Series B Preferred Stock
The terms of the Certificate of Designation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which was filed with the State of Nevada on January 12, 2021, state that the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into fifty-four percent (54%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a fully converted basis. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible into 6,750 shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Ratio”), at the option of a Holder, at any time and from time to time, from and after the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock; provided that, for a period of twenty for (24) months from the Issuance Date, if the Company issues shares of common stock, including common stock as the result of the purchase, exercise or conversion of outstanding derivative or convertible securities (or securities, including any derivative securities, containing the right to purchase, exercise or convert into shares of common stock) (the “Dilution Shares”) such that the outstanding number of shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis shall be greater than one hundred twelve million five hundred thousand (112,500,000) shares (inclusive of conversions of Series B Preferred Stock at the Conversion Ratio immediately above), then the Conversion Ratio for the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding and unconverted as of the date the Dilution Shares are issued shall be adjusted to equal the Conversion Ratio multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis after the issuance of the Dilution Shares, and the denominator shall be one hundred twelve million five hundred thousand (112,500,000). Each holder of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on any matter that may from time to time be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for a vote, on an as-converted basis, either by written consent or by proxy.
On January 14, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the issuance of all 9,000 of the 9,000 authorized shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as follows:
| Dr. Arthur Mikaelian | 9,000 Shares of Series B Preferred Stock |
Series C Preferred Stock
The terms of the Certificate of Designation of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which was filed with the State of Nevada on January 12, 2021, state that such Series C Convertible shares have a par value of $0.00001 per share and a stated value of $100 per share (the “Stated Value”) and each Series C Preferred Share shall be convertible into 6,750 shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Ratio”), at the option of a Holder, at any time and from time to time, from and after the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock; provided that, for a period of twenty for (24) months from the Issuance Date, if the Company issues shares of common stock, including common stock as the result of the purchase, exercise or conversion of outstanding derivative or convertible securities (or securities, including any derivative securities, containing the right to purchase, exercise or convert into shares of common stock) (the “Dilution Shares”) such that the outstanding number of shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis shall be greater than one hundred twelve million five hundred hundred thousand (112,500,000) shares (inclusive of conversions of Series C Preferred Stock at the Conversion Ratio immediately above), then the Conversion Ratio for the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding and unconverted as of the date the Dilution Shares are issued shall be adjusted to equal the Conversion Ratio multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis after the issuance of the Dilution Shares, and the denominator shall be one hundred twelve million five hundred thousand (112,500,000). Subject to the beneficial ownership limitations of 9.99%, set forth in Section 5 (b) of the attached Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, each holder of the Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on any matter that may from time to time be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for a vote, on an as converted basis, either by written consent or by proxy.

| Sagittarii Holdings, Inc. | 500 Shares of Series C Preferred Stock |

Selected Provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes
Directors’ Duties. Section 78.138 of the Nevada law allows our directors and officers, in exercising their powers to further our interests, to consider the interests of our employees, suppliers, creditors and shippers. They can also consider the economy of the state and the nation, the interests of the community and of society and our long-term and short-term interests and shareholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by our continued independence. Our directors may resist a change or potential change in control if they, by a majority vote of a quorum, determine that the change or potential change is opposed to or not in our best interest. Our board of directors may consider these interests or have reasonable grounds to believe that, within a reasonable time, any debt which might be created as a result of the change in control would cause our assets to be less than our liabilities, render us insolvent, or cause us to file for bankruptcy protection
Dissenters’ Rights. Among the rights granted under Nevada law which might be considered material is the right for shareholders to dissent from certain corporate actions and obtain payment for their shares (see NRS 92A.380-390). This right is subject to exceptions, summarized below, and arises in the event of mergers or plans of exchange. This right normally applies if shareholder approval of the corporate action is required either by Nevada law or by the terms of the articles of incorporation.
A shareholder does not have the right to dissent with respect to any plan of merger or exchange, if the shares held by the shareholder are part of a class of shares which are:
| ● | listed on a national securities exchange, | |
| ● | included in the national market system by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), or | |
| ● | held of record by not less than 2,000 holders. |
| 30 |
This exception notwithstanding, a shareholder will still have a right of dissent if it is provided for in the articles of incorporation or if the shareholders are required under the plan of merger or exchange to accept anything but cash or owner’s interests, or a combination of the two, in the surviving or acquiring entity, or in any other entity falling in any of the three categories described above in this paragraph.
Inspection Rights. Nevada law also specifies that shareholders are to have the right to inspect company records (see NRS 78.105). This right extends to any person who has been a shareholder of record for at least six months immediately preceding his demand. It also extends to any person holding, or authorized in writing by the holders of, at least 5% of outstanding shares. Shareholders having this right are to be granted inspection rights upon five days’ written notice. The records covered by this right include official copies of:
| ● | the articles of incorporation, and all amendments thereto, | |
| ● | bylaws and all amendments thereto; and | |
| ● | a stock ledger or a duplicate stock ledger, revised annually, containing the names, alphabetically arranged, of all persons who are stockholders of the corporation, showing their places of residence, if known, and the number of shares held by them, respectively. |
In lieu of the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger, Nevada law provides that the corporation may keep a statement setting out the name of the custodian of the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger, and the present and complete post office address, including street and number, if any, where the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger specified in this section is kept.
Control Share Acquisitions. Sections 78.378 to 78.3793 of Nevada law contain provisions that may prevent any person acquiring a controlling interest in a Nevada-registered company from exercising voting rights. To the extent that these rights support the voting power of minority shareholders, these rights may also be deemed material. These provisions will be applicable to us as soon as we have 200 shareholders of record with at least 100 of these having addresses in Nevada as reflected on our stock ledger. While we do not yet have the required number of shareholders in Nevada or elsewhere, it is possible that at some future point we will reach these numbers and, accordingly, these provisions will become applicable. We do not intend to notify shareholders when we have reached the number of shareholders specified under these provisions of Nevada law. Shareholders can learn this information pursuant to the inspection rights described above and can see the approximate number of our shareholders by checking under Item 5 of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. You can view these and our other filings at www.sec.gov in the “EDGAR” database.
Under NRS Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, an acquiring person who acquires a controlling interest in company shares may not exercise voting rights on any of these shares unless these voting rights are granted by a majority vote of our disinterested shareholders at a special shareholders’ meeting held upon the request and at the expense of the acquiring person. If the acquiring person’s shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person acquires control shares with a majority or more of all the voting power, any shareholder, other than the acquiring person, who does not vote for authorizing voting rights for the control shares, is entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares, and we must comply with the demand. An “acquiring person” means any person who, individually or acting with others, acquires or offers to acquire, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest in our shares. “Controlling interest” means the ownership of our outstanding voting shares sufficient to enable the acquiring person, individually or acting with others, directly or indirectly, to exercise one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority, or a majority or more of the voting power of our shares in the election of our directors. Voting rights must be given by a majority of our disinterested shareholders as each threshold is reached or exceeded. “Control shares” means the company’s outstanding voting shares that an acquiring person acquires or offers to acquire in an acquisition or within 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person becomes an acquiring person.
These Nevada statutes do not apply if a company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the tenth day following the acquisition of a controlling interest by an acquiring person provide that these provisions do not apply.
According to NRS 78.378, the provisions referred to above will not restrict our directors from taking action to protect the interests of our company and its shareholders, including without limitation, adopting or executing plans, arrangements or instruments that deny rights, privileges, power or authority to a holder of a specified number of shares or percentage of share ownership or voting power. Likewise, these provisions do not prevent directors or shareholders from including stricter requirements in our articles of incorporation or bylaws relating to the acquisition of a controlling interest in the company.
| 31 |
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exclude us from the restrictions imposed by NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, nor do they impose any more stringent requirements.
Certain Business Combinations. Sections 78.411 to 78.444 of the Nevada law may restrict our ability to engage in a wide variety of transactions with an “interested shareholder.” As was discussed above in connection with NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, these provisions could be considered material to our shareholders, particularly to minority shareholders. They might also have the effect of delaying or making more difficult acquisitions of our stock or changes in our control. These sections of NRS are applicable to any Nevada company with 200 or more stockholders of record and that has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, unless the company’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise.
These provisions of Nevada law prohibit us from engaging in any “combination” with an interested stockholder for three years after the interested stockholder acquired the shares that cause him/her to become an interested shareholder, unless he had prior approval of our board of directors. The term “combination” is described in NRS 78.416 and includes, among other things, mergers, sales or purchases of assets, and issuances or reclassifications of securities. If the combination did not have prior approval, the interested shareholder may proceed after the three-year period only if the shareholder receives approval from a majority of our disinterested shares or the offer meets the requirements for fairness that are specified in NRS 78.441-42. For the above provisions, a “resident domestic corporation” means a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more shareholders. An “interested stockholder” is defined in NSR 78.423 as someone who is either:
| ● | the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting shares; or | |
| ● | our affiliate or associate and who within three years immediately before the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding shares at that time. |
Amendments to Bylaws
Our articles of incorporation provide that the power to adopt, alter, amend, or repeal our bylaws is vested exclusively with the board of directors. In exercising this discretion, our board of directors could conceivably alter our bylaws in ways that would affect the rights of our shareholders and the ability of any shareholder or group to effect a change in our control; however, the board would not have the right to do so in a way that would violate law or the applicable terms of our articles of incorporation.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for our common stock is Action Stock Transfer Corporation, 2469 E. Fort Union Blvd, Suite 214, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121. Its telephone number is (801) 274-1088.

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).
| F-8 |
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.
| F-9 |
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.

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.

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.

| F-11 |
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.

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. |
| F-12 |
| (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.

| (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.

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.

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. |
NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
Convertible notes payable consisted of the following:
| September 30, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | |||||||
| Unsecured | ||||||||
| (a) Convertible notes with fixed discount percentage conversion prices | 223 | 282 | ||||||

| Convertible notes, net of discount and premium | $ | 600 | $ | 57 | ||||
| Current portion | 600 | 57 | ||||||
| Long-term portion | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
| (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. |
| F-13 |
| (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 | ||||
| F-14 |
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.

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.

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.

Mr. Rice agreed to transfer the Control Block to Phil Sands in order to consummate the Company’s transition into a holding company (transition phase), without requiring the Company to further dilute its stock through the issuance of new shares.

On November 20, 2020, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares by Unanimous Written Consent in order to provide the Company with sufficient shares to adequately pay down its debt, to allow for compensation to vendors and executives for ongoing services being rendered to the Company, and to accommodate for future financings and acquisitions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Stockholders and Board of Directors of Quanta, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quanta, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, and for the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss and utilized cash in operations, and at December 31, 2019, had a working capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $5,787,364 and used cash in operating activities of $2,221,320, and at December 31, 2019, the Company had a had a working capital deficiency of $113,909. 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. 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 December 31, 2019, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $433,143. Subsequent to December 31, 2019 the Company received $153,000 from the issuance of a convertible note payable and $30,000 for subscriptions to purchase shares of common stock. 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 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In December 2018, the Company its fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. The transition period covering the nine-month period from April 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 is included in the accompany consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quanta Inc, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bioanomaly, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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, 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.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts if deemed necessary, and payments are generally due within thirty to forty-five days of invoicing. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not record any allowance for uncollectible accounts.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and our ability to sell the product(s) concerned. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. Additionally, our management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no reserve for inventory obsolescence.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the equipment, which is three years, using the straight-line method. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.
Management assesses the carrying value of equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the nine-months period ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of its property and equipment.
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. At contract inception, the Company determines if the contract is within the scope of ASC Topic 606 and then evaluates the contract using the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue at the point in time when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
| F-26 |
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.
Disaggregated Revenue
The composition of the Company’s net revenues recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine-month period ended December 31, 2018, disaggregated by source and nature, are as follows:

Leases
Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under ASC 840, Accounting for 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 adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those periods. The adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $420,112 and did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit (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 December 31, 2019, 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
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
| F-27 |
Stock Compensation
The Company issues stock options, warrants, shares of common stock, and restricted stock unit awards, as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.
In periods through December 31, 2018, the Company accounted for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated, and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 simplifies the accounting for share-based transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718 from only being applicable to share-based payments to employees to also include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. As a result, nonemployee share-based transactions are measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date, taking into consideration the probability of satisfying performance conditions. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine-month period ended December 31, 2018, advertising costs totaled $103,401 and $27,529, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
Costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine-month period ended December 31, 2018, research and development costs totaled $351,670 and 207,600, 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 available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares used in the calculation of basic net loss per common share include vested but unissued shares underlying awards of restricted common stock. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the Company. In computing diluted loss per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding warrants and convertible notes are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Warrants and convertible notes may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.
| F-28 |
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the dilutive impact of stock options exercisable into 3,290,000 shares of common stock, 8,000,000 shares of restricted stock to be issued, and convertible notes payable that can convert into 889,469 shares of common stock have been excluded from calculation of weighted average shares because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the dilutive impact of stock warrants exercisable into 3,000,000 shares of common stock have been excluded because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.
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 of 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 December 31, 2019, the Company’s balance sheet includes Level 2 liabilities comprised of the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities of $400,139 (see Note 8).
Concentrations of risks
For the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine-month period ended December 31, 2018, no customer accounted for 10% or more of revenue. As of December 31, 2019, two customers accounted for 19% and 12% of accounts receivable, respectively, and no other customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2018, no customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable.
| F-29 |
Additionally, for the same periods, no vendor accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s cost of goods sold, or accounts payable at period-end.
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 No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
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 $100,000. 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 year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized revenue related to this agreement of $31,788. For the nine month period ended December 31, 2018, no distribution fee revenue was recorded.

As of December 31, 2019, the equipment under construction is approximately 33% complete, and is expected to be completed and placed into service during the year ended December 31, 2020.
NOTE 5 - OPERATING LEASE
The Company leases its headquarters office space in Burbank, California under an operating lease that expires on July 31, 2023. At December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any other leases.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. 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.
Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for certain leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $420,112 and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately the same amount. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit. As of December 31, 2019, the unamortized right of use asset was $332,980 and total lease liabilities were $337,453, of which $85,662 was current.

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
At December 31, 2018, there was no balance of convertible notes payable. During 2019, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes for the principal sum of $355,000, of which $326,800 was received as proceeds, and $28,200 was recorded as original issue discount (OID). During 2019, one convertible note for $73,000 was repaid. At December 31, 2019, one convertible note for $282,000 was outstanding. The outstanding note is unsecured, bears interest at 12%, and is due April 29, 2020.
At the option of the holders, the notes issued in 2019 are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share discount of 39% to 40% of the average market price of the Company’s common stock, as defined. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion option of the convertible notes were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liabilities upon issuance. The Company determined that upon issuance of the convertible notes in October 2019, the initial fair value of the embedded conversion features totaled $565,195 (see Note 8), of which $326,800 was recorded as debt discount offsetting the face amount of the convertible notes, and the remainder of $238,395 was recorded as private placement costs.
At December 31, 2018, there was no balance of discount on convertible notes payable. During 2019, note discount of $355,000 was recorded, made up of $28,200 OID and $326,800 of discount related to derivative liabilities. In addition, $54,990 of loan costs recorded on one convertible note (see below) are included with the discount. The discount and loan costs are amortized over the term of the related note payable. During 2019, total debt discount and loan costs amortization was $185,330, and at December 31, 2019, the unamortized debt discount and loan fee totaled $224,660.
In connection with the issuance of one convertible note with the principal balance of $282,000, the Company issued as a commitment fee 141,000 shares of its common stock (the “Non-Returnable Shares”) as well as 705,000 shares of its common stock (the “Returnable Shares”). The Company recorded the fair value of the Non-Returnable fees of $54,990 as a loan cost. The Returnable Shares are an own-share lending arrangement issued in contemplation of a debt offering and such shares will be returned to the Company if no event of default has occurred prior to April 29, 2020, the maturity date of the note. At issuance, the fair value of the share lending arrangement was determined to be immaterial. In accordance with ASC 470-20, the shares are not deemed issued until it becomes more likely than not that they will not be returned and at such point the shares should be measured at fair value and such value recognized as a financing cost. At December 31, 2019, management determined that it is probable that the Company will pay the note in full when due, and meet all other conditions in the note agreement. Accordingly, management feels that it is more likely than not that the returnable shares will be returned to the Company and therefore the 705,000 Returnable Shares have not been recorded as being issued as of December 31, 2019, nor are they included in basic net loss per share or as potentially dilutive shares in calculating the diluted net loss per share.
NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
During 2019, the Company had convertible promissory notes outstanding that are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the option of the holder at price per share discounts ranging from 39% to 40% of the Company’s common stock market price, as defined in the note agreements. As the ultimate determination of shares to be issued upon conversion of these notes could exceed the current number of available authorized shares, the Company determined that the conversion features of the convertible notes were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the conversion features of the notes were separated from the host contracts (i.e. the notes) and characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
At December 31, 2018, there was no balance of derivative liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded additions of $565,195 related to the conversion features of notes issued during the period (see Note 7), and a decrease in fair value of derivatives of ($19,491). In addition, the Company recorded a decrease in derivative liability of ($145,565) related to derivative liabilities that were extinguished when the related convertible note payable was paid off (see Note 7). At December 31, 2019, the balance of the derivative liabilities was $400,139.
The derivative liabilities were valued at the following dates using a probability weighted Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:
| December 31, 2019 | October
2019 (dates of inception) | |||||||
| Conversion feature: | ||||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | 1.77 | % | 1.75 | % | ||||
| Expected volatility | 222 | % | 223 | % | ||||
| Expected life (in years) | 1 year | 1 year | ||||||
| Expected dividend yield | - | - | ||||||
| Fair Value: | ||||||||
| Conversion feature | $ | 400,139 | $ | 565,195 | ||||
| F-33 |
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 – INCOME TAXES
The Company had no income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine-month period ended December 31, 2018. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate:

The provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, require an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine-month period ended December 31, 2018, based on all available objective evidence, including the existence of cumulative losses, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets were not fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the valuation allowance. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine-month period ended December 31, 2018, the valuation allowance increased by $1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had available Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”s) to reduce future taxable income. For Federal purposes the amounts available were approximately $4.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively. For state purposes approximately $3.1 million and $1.1 was available at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Federal carryforwards expire on various dates through 2039 and the state carryforwards expire through 2036. Due to restrictions imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 regarding substantial changes in ownership of companies with loss carryforwards, the utilization of the Company’s NOL may be limited as a result of changes in stock ownership. NOLs incurred subsequent to the latest change in control are not subject to the limitation.
The Company’s operations are based in California and it is subject to Federal and California state income tax. Tax years after 2015 are open to examination by United States and state tax authorities.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740, which requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any tax benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. ASC 740 also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, classification and interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be recorded or disclosed.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
| (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: | ||
| i. | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act; | ||
| ii. | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; | ||
| iii. | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. | ||
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; | ||
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. | ||
| III-3 |
| (4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. | ||
| (5) | For determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: | ||
| i. | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (Sec. 230-424); | ||
| ii. | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the registrant; | ||
| iii. | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. | ||
| (6) | That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. | ||
| (7) | That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof | ||
| (8) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. | ||
