CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seek,” “plan,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “potential,” “continue”, negatives thereof or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Report and include information concerning: possible or assumed future results of our operations; business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management; any other statements regarding future operations, future cash needs, business plans and future financial results; and any other statements that are not historical facts.

 

From time to time, forward-looking statements also are included in our other periodic reports on Form 8-K, in our press releases, in our presentations, on our website and in other materials released to the public. Any or all the forward-looking statements included in this Report and in any other reports or public statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and may turn out to be inaccurate. These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions, and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Considering these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Report and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Report.

 

Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether resulting from new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances, or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

 

For discussion of factors that we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results see “Item 1A - Risk Factors” below.

HEALTHCARE INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2021

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Healthcare Integrated Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a healthcare technology company based in Knoxville, Tennessee. We are creating a diversified spectrum of healthcare technology solutions to integrate and automate the continuing care, home care and professional healthcare spaces.

 

Our initial product, SafeSpace™ with AI Vision™, is an ambient fall detection solution designed for continuing care communities and at home use. SafeSpace includes hardware devices utilizing RGB, radar and other sensor technology coupled with our internally developed software to effectively monitor a person remotely. In continuing care communities, SafeSpace detects resident falls and generates alerts to a centralized, intelligent dashboard without the use of wearable devices or any action by the resident. In the home, SafeSpace detects falls and sends alerts directly to designated individuals.

 

In addition to SafeSpace, we are creating a home concierge healthcare service application to provide a virtual assisted living experience for seniors, recently released postoperative patients and others. The concierge application will enable the consumer to obtain home healthcare services and health and safety monitoring equipment to improve quality of life. We are also working to develop a fully integrated solution for the professional healthcare community that integrates electronic health records, remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and other items where integration is beneficial.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include those of Healthcare Integrated Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. We have prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on October 16, 2020.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. On the interim consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2020, we reclassified $1,515 in loss from discontinued operations to selling, general and administrative expense and interest expense and for the three months ended April 30, 2020, we reclassified $17 in loss from discontinued operations to selling, general and administrative expense. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income.

 

Risk and Uncertainties

 

Factors that could affect our future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from management’s expectation include, but are not limited to: our ability to maintain and secure adequate capital to fully develop our product(s) and operations; our ability to source strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns; acceptance of the terms and conditions of our licenses and/or the acceptance of our royalties and fees; the nature and extent of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations; changes in the projects in which we plan to invest which result from factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, a change in circumstances, capacity and economic impacts; changes in laws, regulations, accounting, taxation, and other requirements affecting our operations and business. Negative developments in these or other risk factors could have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

F-5
 

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s future financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis and actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to credit risk consist of demand deposits with a financial institution. The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institution to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. No loss has been experienced and management does not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at their historical carrying amount net of write-offs and allowance for uncollectible accounts. We routinely assess the recoverability of all customer and other receivables to determine their collectability and record a reserve when, based on the judgement of management, it is probably that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of the reserve may be reasonably estimated. When collection is no longer pursued, we charge uncollectable accounts receivable against the reserve.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized while minor replacements and maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of such assets, are charged to operations as incurred. Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method which depreciates the assets over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets ranging from five to seven years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of patents, our website and the costs of software developed for internal use. Certain payroll and stock-based compensation costs incurred are allocated to the intangible assets. We determine the amount of costs to be capitalized based on the time spent by employees or outside contractors on the projects. Intangible assets are amortized over their expected useful life on a straight-line basis. We evaluate the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and test for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining life is changed, the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. We did not recognize any impairment losses during any of the periods presented.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

 

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair value of current financial assets and current financial liabilities approximates their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

Derivative Liability

 

Options, warrants, convertible notes, or other contracts, if any, are evaluated to determine if those contracts, or embedded components of those contracts, qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise, or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.

 

In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated, and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

F-7
 

 

The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two- step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.

 

We utilize a binomial option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative liability and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. We record the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company had a derivative liability of $153,191 as of April 30, 2021. We had no derivative liability at July 31, 2020.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, the Company follows the five-step model provided by ASC Topic 606 in order to recognize revenue in the following manner: 1) Identify the contract; 2) Identify the performance obligations of the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price of the contract; 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) Recognize revenue. An entity recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenue recognition policies remained substantially unchanged as a result of the adoption of ASC 606, and there were no significant changes in business processes or systems.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 720-35, “Advertising Costs.” We incurred advertising costs of $5,297 and $5,300 for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the interim consolidated financial statements.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

We determine basic income (loss) per share and diluted income (loss) per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share, except the denominator is increased, if the earnings are positive, to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares had been exercised.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans, if any, in accordance with ASC 718.

 

Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the consolidated statements of operations. Share-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital.

 

F-8
 

 

The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. See Note 13.

 

Business Combinations

 

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and that changes thereafter be reflected in income (loss). The estimation of fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed involves several estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts recorded. The results of the acquired businesses are included in our results from operations beginning from the day of acquisition.

 

Income Taxes

 

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (1) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (2) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”). Corporate taxpayers may carryback net operating losses (NOLs) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.

 

In addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the reporting periods presented.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. This update is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by U.S. GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that are required, under existing U.S. GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance and the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

F-9
 

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to account for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate if certain criteria are met. The amendments of ASU No. 2020-04 are effective immediately, as of March 12, 2020, and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into on or before December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance and the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes (ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”). This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments in Update No. 2020-06 simplify the complexity associated with applying U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. More specifically, the amendments focus on the guidance for convertible instruments and derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of determining the effect that the adoption will have on its financial position and results of operations.

 

Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, that when adopted, will have a material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had a net loss of $1,199,526 for its most recent nine months ended April 30, 2021. As of April 30, 2021, the Company has minimal cash and a significant working capital deficit. We have a history of losses, an accumulated deficit, have negative working capital and have not generated cash from our operations to support a meaningful and ongoing business plan. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In view of these matters, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the development, marketing and sales of a viable product to achieve a level of profitability. We intend to finance our future development activities and our working capital needs largely from the sale of private and public equity securities with additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. Although the Company believes in the viability of management’s strategy to generate sufficient revenue, control costs and the ability to raise additional funds if necessary, there can be no assurances to that effect. Therefore, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

5% Convertible Promissory Notes

 

On various dates during the month of March 2018, we issued a series of 5% Convertible Promissory Notes (collectively, the “5% Notes”) totaling $750,000 in net proceeds. We incurred no costs related to the issuance of the 5% Notes. The 5% Notes bear interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, compounded annually and matured one-year from the date of issuance. At April 30, 2021 and July 31, 2020, accrued but unpaid interest on the 5% Notes was $70,031 and $73,903, respectively, which is included in “accounts payable and accrued expenses” on our interim consolidated balance sheets.

 

The 5% Notes are convertible into common shares of the Company at a fixed ratio of two shares of common stock per dollar amount of the face value of the note. The principal terms under which the 5% Notes may be converted into common stock of the Company are as follows:

 

  At the option of the holder, the outstanding principal amount of the note, and any accrued but unpaid interest due, may be converted into the Company’s common stock at any time prior to the maturity date of the note.
     
  The outstanding principal amount of the note, and any accrued but unpaid interest due, will automatically be converted into the Company’s common stock if at any time prior to the maturity date of the note, the Company concludes a sale of equity securities in a private offering resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $1,000,000.

 

5% Notes with a face amount of $175,000 and accrued interest expense of $25,820 were converted, at the option of the holder, into 401,640 shares of our common stock during the nine months ended April 30, 2021. On April 30, 2021, 5% Notes with a face amount of $325,000 and related accrued interest expense of $53,580 are currently in default and are not convertible under the conversion terms. 5% Notes with a face amount of $100,000 and related accrued interest expense of $16,451 mature on March 31, 2022 and are convertible under the conversion terms. Management is currently negotiating amendments to the notes in default to extend the maturity dates of such notes and to encourage note conversions.

 

Note Payable to Acorn Management Partners, LLC

 

On August 11, 2020 we agreed to repurchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock from Acorn Management Partners, LLC (“AMP”). As consideration for the share repurchase, we issued a $50,000 promissory note bearing interest a 6.0% per annum and due one-year from the date of issuance (the “Note”). In the event we default under the terms of the Note, we are required to deliver 1,000,000 shares of our common stock back to AMP in full satisfaction of the obligation. The purchased shares were delivered by AMP directly to the transfer agent on September 8, 2020 and immediately cancelled. At April 30, 2021, accrued but unpaid interest on the Note was $2,169, which is included in “accounts payable and accrued expenses” on our interim consolidated balance sheets. There was no accrued interest due on the Note at July 31, 2020.

Note Payable to AJB Capital Investments, LLC

 

On February 2, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (“AJB Capital”), pursuant to which AJB Capital purchased a Promissory Note (the “AJB Note”) in the principal amount of $360,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $320,400. The AJB Note accrues interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and matures on August 2, 2021. The Company is required to make monthly interest payments and the principal balance is due in a single lump sum payment on the maturity date. We recorded a debt discount of $59,300 related to original issue discount and issuance cost of the note.

 

In the event of default, the AJB Note may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 90% (representing a 10% discount) multiplied by the lowest trading price (i) during the previous twenty (20) trading day period ending on the issuance date of the note, or (ii) during the previous twenty (20) trading day period ending on the date of conversion of the note. We recorded a debt discount of $100,700 related to the conversion feature of the AJB Note.

 

As additional consideration for the purchase of the AJB Note, we issued AJB Capital 1,333,334 shares of our common stock as an origination fee. The $200,000 grant date fair value of the shares was recorded as a debt discount.

 

Total unamortized debt discount related to the AJB Note at April 30, 2021 was $180,000. There was no unamortized debt discount at July 31, 2020. During the nine months ended April 30, 2021, we amortized $180,000 of debt discount which is included as a component of interest expense in the interim consolidated statements of operations. There was no amortization of debt discount for the nine months ended April 30, 2020.

 

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

 

On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted and included a provision for the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to implement its Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP provides small businesses with funds to pay up to eight (8) weeks of payroll costs, including benefits. Funds received under the PPP may also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. Subject to certain criteria being met, all or a portion of the loan may be forgiven. The loans bear interest at an annual rate of one percent (1%), are due two (2) years from the date of issuance, and all payments are deferred for the first six (6) months of the loan. Any unforgiven balance of loan principal and accrued interest at the end of the six (6) month loan deferral period is amortized in equal monthly instalments over the remaining 18-months of the loan term. On April 30, 2020, we closed a $41,667 SBA guaranteed PPP loan with Mountain Commerce Bank. We used the loan proceeds as permitted and applied for forgiveness of the entire loan amount and related accrued interest. On December 14, 2020, the outstanding principal balance of the note and related accrued interest of $264 were forgiven by the SBA, which is recorded as “Debt forgiveness” of $41,931 on the interim consolidated statements of operations.

 

NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

On February 2, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (“AJB Capital”), pursuant to which AJB Capital purchased a Promissory Note (the “AJB Note”) in the principal amount of $360,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $320,400 (See Note 7). In the event of default, the AJB Note may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. We identified certain conversion features embedded in the AJB Note that represent a derivative liability.

 

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the nine months ended April 30, 2021:

 

   Fair Value Measurement 
   Using Level 3 Inputs 
Balance, July 31, 2020  $- 
Derivative liability on issuance of AJB Note   197,901 
Change in fair value of derivative liability   (44,710)
Balance, April 30, 2021  $153,191 

 

F-13
 

 

During the nine months ended April 30, 2021, the fair value of the derivative feature of the AJB Note was calculated using the following range of assumptions:

 

Expected volatility of underlying stock   177.4 to 178.8%
Expected term (in years)   .40 to .50 
Risk-free interest rate   0.01 to 0.04%
Dividend yield   None 

 

As of April 30, 2021, the derivative liability related to the AJB Note was $153,191. There was no derivative liability as of July 31, 2020. For the nine months ended April 30, 2021, we recorded income of $44,710 related to the change in fair value of the derivative liability. There was no change in fair value of the derivative liability for the nine months ended April 30, 2020.

 

Upon valuation of the derivative features of the AJB Note, we determined the total amount of debt discounts exceeded the face amount of the note and recorded derivative expense for the excess amount. Derivative expense for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 was $97,201. There was no derivative expense for the nine months ended April 30, 2020.

 

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

 

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes as reported, and the amount computed by multiplying net loss by the federal statutory rate of 21% as of April 30, 2021 and July 31, 2020 are as follows:

 

   April 30, 2021   July 31, 2020 
Federal income tax benefit computed at the statutory rate  $(251,901)  $(222,198)
Increase (decrease) resulting from:          
State income taxes, net of federal benefit   -    (1,088)
Stock-based compensation   110,192    89,933 
Derivatives   21,597    - 
Valuation allowance   119,650    133,113 
Other   462    240 
Income tax benefit, as reported  $-   $- 

 

The components of the net deferred tax asset as of April 30, 2021 and July 31, 2020 are as follows:

 

   April 30, 2021   July 31, 2020 
Deferred tax assets:          
Net operating loss carryovers  $657,414   $537,764 
Valuation allowance   (657,414)   (537,764)
Net deferred tax asset, as reported  $-   $- 

 

In assessing the realizable value of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become tax deductible. Based on management’s assessment of objective and subjective evidence, we have concluded at this time it is more likely than not that all of our deferred tax asset will not be realized and we have provided a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the deferred tax asset. At April 30, 2021, we have approximately $2.54 million in federal and state net operating loss carryovers that begin expiring in fiscal 2037.

 

We conduct business solely in the United States and file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction as well as in the states of Tennessee and Colorado. The taxable years ended July 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.

The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the Company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.

 

If applicable, interest costs related to the unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated and would be classified as “Other expenses – Interest expense” in the interim consolidated statements of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “General and administrative.”

 

No material interest or penalties on unpaid tax were recorded during the nine months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020. As of April 30, 2021 and July 31, 2020, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.

 

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

To continue operations and meet operating cash requirements, we have periodically relied on advances from related parties, primarily shareholders, until such time as our cash flow from operations meets our cash requirements or we are able to obtain adequate financing through sales of our equity securities and/or traditional debt financing. There is no formal written commitment for continued support by shareholders. Amounts advanced primarily relate to amounts paid to vendors. The advances are considered temporary in nature and have not been formalized by any written agreement. As of April 30, 2021 and July 31, 2020, related parties are owed $204,790 and $271,819, respectively. The amounts owed are payable on demand and carry no interest.

 

The amounts and terms of the related party transactions may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.

NOTE 13 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Our stock-based compensation programs are long-term retention awards that are intended to attract, retain, and provide incentives for employees, officers and directors, and to align stockholder and employee interest. We utilize grants of both stock options and warrants and restricted stock to achieve those goals.

 

Summary of Stock Options and Warrants

 

During the nine months ended April 30, 2021, we recorded $465,749 of compensation expense, net of capitalized expense of $58,973, related to stock options and warrants. During the nine months ended April 30, 2020, we recorded $235,444 of compensation expense related to stock options and warrants. The grant date fair value of stock options and warrants issued during the nine months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 was $241,433 and $307,965, respectively. We estimated the grant date fair value of stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average range of assumptions for the periods presented:

 

   April 30, 2021   April 30, 2020 
Expected volatility   271.61%   232.07%
Expected term (in years)   3.25    3.28 
Risk-free interest rate   0.20%   0.66%
Dividend yield   None    None 

 

Expected Volatility

 

Due to the fact we do not consider historical volatility is the best indicator of future volatility, we use implied volatility of our options to estimate future volatility.

 

Expected Term

 

Where possible, we use the simplified method to estimate the expected term of employee stock options. Where we are unable to use the simplified method due to the terms of a stock option, we may use a modified simplified method to estimate the expected term. We do not have adequate historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for estimating the expected term for the current share options granted. The simplified method assumes that employees will exercise share options evenly between the period when the share options are vested and ending on the date when the options would expire.

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate

 

The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant.

 

Dividend Yield

 

We have not estimated any dividend yield as we currently do not pay a dividend and do not anticipate paying a dividend over the expected term.

Executive Overview

 

We are a healthcare technology company based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Our business is creating a diversified spectrum of healthcare technology solutions to integrate and automate the continuing care, home care and professional healthcare spaces.

 

Our initial product, SafeSpace™ with AI Vision™, is an ambient fall detection solution designed for continuing care communities and at home use. SafeSpace includes hardware devices utilizing RGB, radar and other sensor technology coupled with our internally developed software to effectively monitor a person remotely. In continuing care communities, SafeSpace detects resident falls and generates alerts to a centralized, intelligent dashboard without the use of wearable devices or any action by the resident. In the home, SafeSpace detects falls and sends alerts directly to designated individuals.

 

In addition to SafeSpace, we are creating a home concierge healthcare service application to provide a virtual assisted living experience for seniors, recently released postoperative patients and others. The concierge application will enable the consumer to obtain home healthcare services and health and safety monitoring equipment to improve quality of life. We are also working to develop a fully integrated solution for the professional healthcare community that integrates electronic health records, remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and other items where integration is beneficial.

 

Strategy

 

Our mission is to grow a profitable healthcare technology company by focusing on our core product, continuing the development of our proprietary software and developing new uses and product lines for our technology. Our management team is focused on maintaining the financial flexibility and assembling the right complement of personnel and outside consultants required to successfully execute our mission.

Officer’s Salaries – Officer’s salaries, net of capitalized amounts, increased $55,056 over 2020, or 54%. The increase is attributable to the uncapitalized portion of our new CTO’s salary, our new CMO’s salary, and our CFO’s salary at an increased rate for the entire period. In 2020, Officer’s salaries only included the salaries for our CEO and CFO.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – Stock-based compensation expense increased $76,869, or 95%, over the same period in the prior year. The increase results from amortization of the grant date fair value of employee stock options granted to our CTO and CMO, as well as a restricted stock grant to our CFO.

Depreciation and Amortization – Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1,722 over the same period in the prior year.

Other - Other expense increased $3,804, or 227%, over 2020. The increase is primarily due to increased travel and entertainment expenses from capital raising efforts.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased $185,762 over the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the $180,000 amortization of debt discount and related interest payments of $8,806 on the AJB Capital Investments, LLC note issued during the current period.

Working capital deficiency  $(2,197,994)  $(1,857,593)

 

Current assets for the period ended April 30, 2021 decreased $35,110 as compared to the year ended July 31, 2020. The decrease is due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and the amortization of prepaid expenses.

 

Current liabilities for the period ended April 20, 2021 increased $305,291 as compared to the year ended July 31, 2020. The increase is primarily due to our new notes payable (Acorn Management Partners and AJB Capital Investments) and associated derivative liability, and the continuing accrual of net unpaid officer’s compensation. The increase was partially offset by payments of certain amounts owed to related parties, conversions into common stock of 5% convertible notes, and the SBA’s forgiveness of our Paycheck Protection Program loan.

 

Net Cash Used by Operating Activities

 

We currently do not have a revenue source and will continue to have negative cash flow from operations for the near future. The factors in determining operating cash flows are largely the same as those that affect net earnings, except for non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discount, derivative expense and changes in fair value of assets and liabilities, which affect earnings but do not affect cash flow. Net cash used by operating activities was $525,736 for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 as compared to $112,180 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020. The $413,556 increase in cash used during 2021 is primarily attributable to increases in the payment and capitalization of accrued officer’s compensation.

 

Net Cash Used by Investing Activities

 

Net cash used by investing activities was $40,660 for the nine months ended April 30, 2021. The amount is comprised of cash paid for the filing of patent and trademark applications and the development of software for our internal use. We had no cash flows from investing activities during the same period of 2020.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $538,671 for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, which represents a $385,343 increase over the same period of 2020. During 2021, we received $305,000 from the sale of common stock in four private transactions. In addition, we received $300,700 in net proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes. The cash provided by common stock sales and note issuances was partially offset by $67,029 in net payments of amounts owed to related parties.

 

At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from debt financings and/or the sale of our equity securities to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of April 30, 2021.

Going Concern Qualification

 

We have a history of losses, an accumulated deficit, a negative working capital and have not generated cash from operations to support a meaningful and ongoing business plan. Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has included a “Going Concern Qualification” in their report for the years ended July 31, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We intend on financing our future activities and working capital needs largely from the sale of private and/or public equity securities with additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. There is no guarantee that additional capital or debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that if available, it will be on terms acceptable to us. The interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The “Going Concern Qualification” might make it substantially more difficult to raise capital.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our interim consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to U.S. GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our interim consolidated financial statements.

 

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our July 31, 2020 Annual Report.

 

We believe the following critical policies impact our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis and actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, we estimate fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of patents, our website and the costs of software developed for internal use. Certain payroll and stock-based compensation costs incurred are allocated to the intangible assets. We determine the amount of costs to be capitalized based on the time spent by employees or outside contractors on the projects. Intangible assets are amortized over their expected useful life on a straight-line basis. We evaluate the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and test for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining life is changed, the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. We did not recognize any impairment losses during any of the periods presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

 

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair value of current financial assets and current financial liabilities approximates their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

Derivative Liability

 

Options, warrants, convertible notes, or other contracts, if any, are evaluated to determine if those contracts, or embedded components of those contracts, qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise, or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.

 

In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated, and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two- step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.

 

We utilize a binomial option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative liability and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. We record the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans, if any, in accordance with ASC 718.

 

Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the consolidated statements of operations. Share-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital.

 

The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

Business Combinations

 

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and that changes thereafter be reflected in income (loss). The estimation of fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed involves several estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts recorded. The results of the acquired businesses are included in our results from operations beginning from the day of acquisition.

 

Capital Resources

 

We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of April 30, 2021.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements as of April 30, 2021.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). In conducting its evaluation, management considered the material weaknesses described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date we did not maintain disclosure controls and procedures that were effective in providing reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange act of 1934 was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

12
 

 

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

The Company is currently not involved in any litigation that the Company believes could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. On January 2, 2020, a sworn account lawsuit was filed against our IndeLiving Holdings, Inc. (“IndeLiving”) subsidiary and our CEO Scott M. Boruff by our previous Certified Public Accounting Firm, RBSM LLP (“RBSM”) demanding payment of $28,007 for services rendered. We filed our Answer and IndeLiving filed a breach of contract Counterclaim on February 24, 2020 demanding repayment of a $7,500 retainer paid to RBSM by IndeLiving for services that we allege were not provided. On May 27, 2021, the court signed an Agreed Order of Compromise Settlement and Dismissal with Prejudice dismissing both RBSM’s claim against us and our counterclaim against RBSM. As part of the settlement, we paid RBSM $7,500.
