Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three and six-month periods have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. 

Fiscal Year End: The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.

Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Research and Development Costs: The Company charges research and development costs to expense when incurred in accordance with FASB ASC 730, Research and Development. Research and development costs were $23,186 and $174,459 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Advertising and Marketing Costs: Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $15,000 and $23,500 in advertising and marketing costs during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Related Parties: For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities. 

Stock-Based Compensation and Other Share-Based Payments: The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, using the fair value method on grant date. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The expense attributable to the Company’s directors is recognized over the period the amounts are earned and vested, and the expense attributable to the Company’s non-employees is recognized when vested, as described in Note 11, Stock Plan.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The following table provides a summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Warrants: The Company accounts for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement.  For warrants classified as equity instruments the Company applies the Black Scholes model and expenses the fair value as financing costs. For warrants classified as derivative financial instruments the Company applies the Monte Carlo model to value the warrants. 

Income taxes: The Company has adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share: In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.

Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the if-converted method), convertible notes, classes of shares with conversion features, and stock awards and stock options. The computation of basic loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 include potentially dilutive securities of underlying share purchase warrants, convertible notes, stock options and preferred shares, because the Company reported net income in the current three months ended June 30, 2021. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period reflected both basic and fully diluted loss per share.

The table below reflects the potentially dilutive securities at each reporting period which have been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share:

New Accounting Pronouncements: Certain new accounting pronouncements that have been issued are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern

The Company has experienced net losses to date and has not generated revenues from operations. While the Company raised proceeds of $100,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 through issuance of a convertible promissory note, and $211,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020 by way of private placement offerings to accredited investors, loans and advances from its officers and directors and third-party short term loans, it does not believe its resources will be sufficient to meet its operating and capital needs beyond the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company expects it will require additional capital to fully implement the scope of its proposed business operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company will have to continue to rely on equity and debt financing, and continued support from its officers and directors. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on favorable terms. In addition, if the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing due to the continued effect of COVID-19 on the capital markets, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amount and classification of liabilities that might cause results from this uncertainty.

Covid-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on the research and development of our product candidates. Research facilities at Dartmouth were subject to closures as well as laboratories at Ariel in Israel during fiscal 2020.  This resulted in our discontinuing our research at these Universities and was part of our decision to adjust our research to be collaborative and to seek aligning with third parties to advance our expanded goals.  We do not currently know the full extent of potential delays of research in the future as a result of the continuing pandemic restrictions.

COVID-19 has also caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which severely impacts our ability to raise additional capital. We terminated our employees in April 2020 in an effort to conserve resources as we evaluate our business development efforts.  The ultimate impact on us and our research relationships is currently uncertain. We may be required to further reduce operations or cease operations if we are unable to finance our operations.

Management is actively monitoring the situation but given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company is not able to fully estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its planned operations or financial condition in the next 12 months. However, while significant uncertainty remains, the Company believes it is likely that the COVID-19 outbreak will have a negative impact on its ability to raise additional financing and will result in delays as it continues to impact the Company’s workforce and its collaborative development efforts.

Note 4 – Convertible Note – Related Party and Derivative Liabilities

On September 1, 2016, the Company entered into a convertible debenture agreement with CubeSquare, LLC (“CubeSquare”), of which its Chief Executive Officer is the managing partner and its President is a 25% owner of CubeSquare. The Company received proceeds of $10,000 during fiscal 2016 (“Note 1”). The note bears interest at 8% per annum and was due on September 1, 2017. Interest accrues from September 1, 2016 and is payable on maturity. Interest is payable, at the lender’s option, in cash or common stock. Any portion of the loan and unpaid interest is convertible at any time at the option of CubeSquare into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of the greater of (i) $0.0625 per share if the Company’s shares are not trading on a public market and; (ii) in the event the Company’s shares are listed for trading on a public market, the conversion price shall be equal to a 50% discount to  the average of the five  lowest trading prices during the previous twenty trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion from the lender.

Note 4 – Convertible Note – Related Party and Derivative Liabilities (continued)

On September 29, 2017, the Company and CubeSquare amended Note 1 to extend the maturity date from September 1, 2017 to September 1, 2018; on September 9, 2018, the Company further amended Note 1 to extend the maturity date to September 1, 2019; on November 6, 2019, the Company further amended Note 1 to extend the maturity date to September 1, 2020; and on October 30, 2020, the Company further amended Note 1 to extend the maturity date to September 1, 2021, under the same terms and conditions. 

On September 27, 2017, the Company entered into a second convertible debenture agreement with CubeSquare under which the Company received proceeds of $15,000 (Note 2). Note 2 bears interest at 8% per annum and was due on September 27, 2018. Interest accrues from September 27, 2017 and is payable on maturity.   Any portion of the principal and unpaid interest under the note is convertible at any time at the option of CubeSquare  into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to a 50% discount to the average of the five lowest trading prices during the previous twenty trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion from CubeSquare. On September 9, 2018, Note 2 was amended to extend the maturity date to September 27, 2019. On November 6, 2019, Note 2 was amended to extend the maturity date to September 27, 2020 and on October 30, 2020 Note 2 was amended to extend the maturity date to September 27, 2021.

The Company analyzed the amendment to Note 1 and Note 2 under ASC 815-10-15-83 and concluded that these two convertible Notes meet the definition of a derivative. The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative at each report date using the Black-Scholes valuation model to value the derivative liability related to the variable conversion rate.

The carrying value of these convertible notes is as follows:

Schedule of interest on the convertible note

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the unpaid interest balance under Accounts payable and accrued liabilities – related party was $8,441 and $7,449, respectively.

As a result of the application of ASC 815, the fair value of the derivative liability associated with the conversion feature is summarized as follows:

(1) 8% Convertible notes with warrants issued in December 2019 and February 2020

In December 2019, we issued and sold in a private offering 8% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $70,000. Such notes are due on December 31, 2021 and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) for each share of common stock equal to the lesser of: (a) $0.50, (b) the lowest price at which the Company has converted any convertible security of the Company (to the holder or to any third party) within 30 trading days prior to the date of delivery of the applicable Notice of Conversion; and (c) so long as lower than (a) or (b), such price per share of common stock as the Company and the holder may agree from time to time.  In connection with the 8% convertible note issuance, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 70,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00.

On February 19, 2020 we issued and sold in a private offering 8% convertible notes in the principal amount of $10,000, due on February 19, 2022. Such notes are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of: (a) $0.50; (b) the lowest price at which the Company has converted any convertible security of the Company within 30 trading days prior to the date of delivery of the applicable notice of conversion; and (c) such other as the Company and the holder may agree.  In connection with the 8% convertible note issuance, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00.

The carrying value of these convertible notes is as follows:

Interest expenses associated with the convertible notes are as follows:

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the unpaid interest balance under Accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $9,942 and $7,373, respectively.

The convertible notes qualify for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815. The derivative liability of the $80,000 convertible notes was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model to be $72,689.

As a result of the application of ASC 815, as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of the derivative liability associated with the conversion feature is summarized as follows:

(1) 8% Convertible notes with warrants issued in December 2019 and February 2020 (continued)

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021 and the commitment date:

(2) 8% Convertible note with warrants issued on June 15, 2021

On June 15, 2021, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Quick Capital, LLC (“Quick Capital”) pursuant to which the Company issued a twelve-month convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $115,000 for a $100,000 investment (the “Note”), which included an original issuance discount of 10% and a $3,500 credit for legal and transaction costs. In connection with this convertible note issuance, Quick Capital was also issued a five-year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 115,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the “Warrant Shares”) subject to adjustments for dilutive issuances at lower prices.

The Note is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. If delivery of the Conversion Shares is not timely made, the Company is obligated to pay Quick Capital $2,000 for each day that the delivery is late as liquidated damages. The conversion price of the Note will be reduced if the Company issues common stock or grants derivative securities for consideration at a price less than the conversion price to the amount of the consideration of such dilutive issuance (“full ratchet reset”). The Note may not be prepaid.

The Company is subject to significant cash penalties if the Company defaults on the notes or in the event shares are not issued timely when a notice of conversion is provided. If an event of default occurs, the Note will become immediately due and payable in an amount equal to 150% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note plus any interest or amounts owing to Quick Capital. The default provisions are based on the type of default and include a penalty of 50% of the principal plus accrued interest due (the “Default Sum”) and a parity value of the Default Sum based on the effective conversion of the Note on the date of payment of the default and the maximum stock value during the period between the default date and the payment date.

The Company valued the embedded default derivative liability of the Note and the Warrant liability, including the full ratchet reset feature, using Monte Carlo models.

The carrying value of the Note is as follows:

Interest expenses associated with the conversion is as follows:

The issuance of any such shares in the future will result in dilution to the interests of other stockholders. In consideration for the parties’ agreement to terminate the License Agreement and for future general scientific collaboration between the parties, the Company agreed to pay Ariel a royalty of 1.25% of net sales (as defined in the Royalty Agreement) of products sold by the Company, or its affiliates and licensees for fifteen years from the first commercial sale in a particular country.
