NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022 and 2021

 

Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization and Nature of Business:

 

Qrons Inc. (“Qrons” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on August 22, 2016 under the name BioLabMart Inc. and changed its name to Qrons Inc., effective August 8, 2017.

 

The Company’s common stock was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) for quotation on the OTC pink sheets under the symbol “BLMB” as of July 3, 2017. FINRA announced the Company’s name change to Qrons Inc. on August 9, 2017. The new name and symbol change to “QRON” for the OTC Market was effective August 10, 2017. The Company’s common stock commenced trading on the OTCQB Venture Market on August 12, 2019.

 

The Company is an innovative biotechnology company dedicated to developing biotech products, treatments and technologies to combat neuronal diseases, which are an enormous social and economic burden on society. The Company seeks to engage in strategic arrangements with companies and institutions that are developing breakthrough technologies in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, molecular biology, stem cells and tissue engineering, for deployment in the fight against neuronal diseases. The Company’s search is currently focused on researchers based in Israel, a country which is world-renowned for biotech innovations and where its President is located and where its research to date has been conducted.

   

The Company’s principal executive office is located at 28-10 Jackson Avenue, Long Island City, #26N, New York 11101.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Financial Statements: 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, 2021.

 

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 nine-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 original maturities of 90 days or less 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 $23,596 and $32,262 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 of the award 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 9, 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

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.

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 year ended December 31, 2021 through the issuance of a convertible promissory note, and a further $62,500 in unsecured advances from related parties in the current nine months ended September 30, 2022, it does not believe its resources will be sufficient to meet its operating and capital needs beyond the fourth quarter of 2022. 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.

   

COVID-19 also caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which severely impacted our ability to raise additional capital. We terminated our employees in April 2020 in an effort to conserve resources as we evaluated our business development efforts. We may be required to further reduce operations or cease operations if we are unable to finance our operations.

  

We remain unable to predict with certainty the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on future operations, as well as the actions of governments, and when and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions will return to pre-pandemic levels. Even as the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we continue to experience adverse impacts to our business, including delays on the successful raising of additional capital.

  

Note 4 – Convertible Note – Related Party and Derivative Liabilities

 

On September 1, 2016, the Company entered into a convertible debenture agreement with Decagon LLC, doing business as CubeSquare, LLC (“CubeSquare”), of which the Company’s 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”). Note 1 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; on October 30, 2020, the Company further amended Note 1 to extend the maturity date to September 1, 2021; and on October 7, 2021, the Company further amended Note 1 to extend the maturity date to September 1, 2022 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; on October 30, 2020 Note 2 was amended to extend the maturity date to September 27, 2021; and further on October 7, 2021 Note 2 was amended to extend the maturity date to September 27, 2022.

 

On September 27, 2022 the Board and the noteholder agreed to cancel the two convertible notes and in full satisfaction of such outstanding debt to issue a new 6% promissory note to CubeSquare in the principal amount of $35,873, representing the aggregate principal amount of $25,000 and the aggregate amount of any and all accrued interest in the amount of $10,873 as of September 27, 2022.

 

The Company analyzed the amendment to Note 1 and Note 2 under ASC 815-10-15-83 and concluded that the conversion feature within 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.

Such notes were due on December 31, 2021 and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a 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 other price as the Company and the holder may agree. 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 an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $10,000. The note is due on February 19, 2022 and is 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; or (c) such other price as the Company and the holder may agree.

In connection with the Quick Note issuance, Quick Capital was also issued a five-year warrant (the “Quick 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 “Quick Warrant Shares”) subject to adjustments for dilutive issuances at lower prices.

Note 5 – Convertible Note and Derivative Liabilities (continued)

 

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

 

The Quick 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 Quick 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. The Quick Note may not be prepaid.

 

The Company is subject to significant cash penalties if the Company defaults on the Quick Note or in the event shares are not issued timely when a notice of conversion is provided. If an event of default occurs, the Quick Note will become immediately due and payable in an amount equal to 150% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Quick 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 Quick 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 Quick Note and the Quick Warrant liability, including the full ratchet reset feature, using Monte Carlo models.

 

While the Company has not received a notice of default, the Quick Note matured on June 15, 2022, and the fair value of the Quick Note and Quick Warrant embedded default derivatives liability has been valued as of September 30, 2022.

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

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements relating to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you   can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including the risks set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our prospectus, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2022, that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this Report. You should read this Report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

 

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made, except as required by federal securities and any other applicable law.

 

The management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the notes to the unaudited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report and the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC in its Annual Report on Form 10-K on March 11, 2022, along with the accompanying notes. As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” means Qrons Inc.

 

The Company has relied primarily on its two co-founders, Jonah Meer, Chief Executive Officer, and Ido Merfeld, President, who are its sole directors to manage its day-to-day business and has outsourced professional services to third parties in an effort to maintain lower operational costs.

 

Messrs. Meer and Merfeld, as the holders of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Preferred Stock, collectively have 66 2/3% of the voting rights of the Company. Acting together, they will be able to influence the outcome of all corporate actions requiring approval of our stockholders.

 

Plan of Operations

 

We are an innovative biotechnology company dedicated to developing biotech products, treatments and technologies that create a platform to combat neuronal diseases. We seek to engage in strategic arrangements with companies and institutions that are developing breakthrough technologies in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning, molecular biology, stem cells and tissue engineering, for deployment in the fight against neuronal diseases. Our search is focused on researchers based in Israel, a country which is world-renowned for biotech innovations and where its President is located and where its research to date has been conducted.

  

To date, the Company has collaborated with universities and scientists in the fields of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and 3D printable hydrogels to develop a treatment that integrates proprietary, engineer mesenchymal stem cells (“MSCs”), 3D printable implant, smart materials and a novel delivery system and has two product candidates for treating penetrating and non-penetrating (concussion-like) traumatic brain injuries, both integrating proprietary, anti-brain inflammation synthetic hydrogel and modified MSCs.

 

As a result of the Company's multidiscipline research effort in the field of supramolecular and polymeric materials chemistry and neuronal tissue engineering, on April 3, 2022, the Company filed a US provisional patent application for inventions of therapeutic polypseudorotaxane hydrogels, thereby providing the Company with the option to, in the future, seek protection for these inventions globally. The patent application relates generally to the treatment of pathological central nervous system conditions such as traumatic injury or neurodegenerative disease and the applications of uses of hydrogels in the treatment of such conditions.

  

On September 18, 2022 Ido Merfeld, our President and co-Founder was awarded his PhD in Molecular Biology and Neuroscience based on his submission of his paper entitled Mesenchymal Stem Cells integrated into Pseudopolyrotaxane hydrogels promote neuronal stem cells maturation and inhibits reactive Astrocytes and Activated Microglia after penetrating traumatic brain injury, based on the research done at Qrons.

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, were $22,451 compared to total operating expenses of $30,307 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2022 is due to an decrease in general and administrative fees from $9,363 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $7,202 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as well as a decrease in research and development expenses from $9,076 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $6,250 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and a decreases in professional fees from $11,868 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $8,999 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $9,076 of research and development expenses which included licensing fees of $6,250 and software license and equipment costs of $2,826 as compared to $6,250 in research and development fees for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which was comprised solely of licensing fees of $6,250. The decrease in general and administrative fees for the three months ended September 30, 2022, is mainly due to a decrease in branding and marketing expenses in the three-month period ended September 30, 2022.

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $117,071 compared to total operating expenses of $111,468 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The slight increase in operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is due to a substantial increase in professional fees from $35,808 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $62,904 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to an increase in legal and accounting fees in connection with the Company’s filing of a registration statement and prospectus in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, offset by a decrease in research and development activities from $32,262 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $23,596 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021  and a decrease  in general and administrative expenses from $43,395 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $30,571 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company incurred $23,596 of research and development expenses which included service fees related to certain research and development agreements of $4,327, technology licensing fees of $18,750 and purchases of lab supplies and equipment of $519 as compared to $32,262 of  research and development expenses which included service fees related to certain research and development agreements of $6,200, technology licensing fees of $18,750, software licensing fees of $6,826 and purchases of expendable lab supplies and equipment of $486 in the nine months ended September  30, 2021. The decrease in general and administrative fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $43,398 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $30,571 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is mainly due to a decrease in branding and marketing expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash of $8,467. We are in the early stage of development and have experienced net losses to date and have not generated revenue from operations which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There are a number of conditions that we must satisfy before we will be able to commercialize potential products and generate revenue, including successful development of product candidates, which includes clinical trials, FDA approval, demonstration of effectiveness sufficient to generate commercial orders by customers, establishing production capabilities as well as effective marketing and sales capabilities for our product. We do not currently have sufficient resources to accomplish any of these conditions necessary for us to generate revenue and expect to incur increasing operating expenses. We will require substantial additional funds for operations, the service of debt and to fund our business objectives. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to us in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms favorable to us. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of equity securities, such as through the issuance and exercise of warrants, then existing stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interest. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may be subject to certain limitations in our operations, and issuance of such securities may have rights senior to those of the then existing stockholders. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person or entity to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.

 

As we continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, we continue exploring sources of debt and equity financings as well as available grants. We are currently exploring and are in discussions for potential strategic alternatives in the biotechnology field which could advance our MSCs and neurodegenerative research.  There can be no assurance the necessary financing will be available or that a suitable strategic partner will be identified. In such event, we may explore relationships with third parties to develop or commercialize products or technologies that we have not previously sought to develop or commercialize, decide to exit our existing business, cease operations altogether or pursue an acquisition of our company. However, without additional financing, we do not believe our resources will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs beyond the fiscal year ended 2022.

 

Offering

 

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on January 11, 2022, to offer and sell up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock in a self-underwritten primary offering at a fixed price of $0.70 per share which was declared effective on January 11, 2022. To date, no shares have been sold and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in selling any of the shares being offered.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. Our report from our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 includes an explanatory paragraph stating the Company has recurring losses and limited operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments which are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of their evaluation form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and circumstances. Our significant accounting policies are more fully discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements contained herein.

 

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 $23,596 and $32,262 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

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 9, Stock Plan.

   

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of September 30, 2022, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, based on the material weaknesses discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Act Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our internal controls and procedures are not effective for the following reasons: (i) there is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives as management is comprised of only two persons, one of which is the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and, (ii) the Company does not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.

 

In order to mitigate the foregoing material weakness, we have engaged an outside accounting consultant with significant experience in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that these financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of this action and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.

 

We would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will continue to reassess this matter to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible. In addition, we would need to expand our board to include independent members.

 

Going forward, we intend to evaluate our processes and procedures and, where practicable and resources permit, implement changes in order to have more effective controls over financial reporting.
