Our Business and Corporate History

 

The Company was formed in Nevada in August 30, 2002 as IntelSource Group, Inc. and began operations in 2003. Through a series of mergers, the Company began operating as ElectroMedical Technologies, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company on November 9, 2010. The Company converted to a corporation in the State of Delaware on August 23, 2017. On September 20, 2017, the Company filed Form 1-A Regulation A Offering Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 issuing up to 15,000,000 common shares, which became effective on January 30, 2018.

 

Electromedical Technologies is a bioelectronics manufacturing and marketing company. We offer U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared medical devices for pain management.

 

Bioelectronics is a developing field of “electronic” medicine, which uses electrical impulses over the body’s neural circuitry to try to alleviate pain, without drugs. The human body is controlled by electrical signals sent through the nervous system, which can become distorted after accidents or as a result of disease. The field of bioelectronic medicine aims to safely correct irregularities in the nervous system by modifying the electrical language of the body related to pain relief.

 

Our mission is to improve global wellness for people suffering from various painful conditions by relieving chronic and acute pain using energy, frequency and vibration as an alternative to pharmaceuticals; and one day, read and modifies electrical signals passing along nerves in the body, to restore long-term health. We believe that we do this by delivering innovative solutions providing fast and long lasting pain relief across the broadest range of ailments. We engineer simple-to-use bioelectronics therapy devices, which send a proprietary sequence of electrical signals. We believe our devices have proven to be highly effective over the past decade and have the technological capability to be used in medical research.

 

We have a corporate goal to offer the public effective alternatives to addictive pain relieving drugs, such as opioids. According to the Society of Actuaries, opioid overdose deaths are now the single largest factor slowing the growth in U.S. life expectancy and has led to stagnation or decreases in life expectancy three years in a row for the first time since 1915–1918, when the country was facing World War I and the Spanish flu pandemic The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that overdose deaths involving prescription opioids have quadrupled since 1999 and that drug overdoses now kill more people every year than gun violence or car accidents. From 1999 to 2017, more than 702,000 people have died from a drug overdose. In 2017, more than 70,000 people died from drug overdoses, making it a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States. It is our aim to offer effective non toxic, non invasive alternatives to pain management.

 

We believe that we can provide an opioid-free solution to over 100 million people suffering from chronic and acute pain just in the US market alone. In recent years, we have also focused on the market for U.S. military service veterans, many of which do not have many options other than powerful drugs that can cause side effects when it comes to treating chronic or acute pain. We intend to include a special program that will offer our new POD devices at no upfront cost for veterans of the U.S. armed forces and their immediate families, which according to the Census Bureau, as of 2014, consists of nearly 22 million individuals.

 

The Company is publically traded on the OTC Markets Pink Sheet tier under the symbol ELCQ.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following tables summarize our financial data for the periods presented and should be read together with the sections of this Prospectus entitled “Risk Factors,” “Selected Financial Data” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. We derived the summary financial information for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 from our audited financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. The audited historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results we expect in the future. 

 

The Company’s financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2019 appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus are not audited. The unaudited historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results we expect in the future.

 

The Company sustained continued operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required. 

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

RISK FACTORS

 

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this Prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding whether to invest in our shares of Common Stock. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, operating results, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our shares of Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

 

There could be unidentified risks involved with an investment in our securities

 

The foregoing risk factors are not a complete list or explanation of the risks involved with an investment in the securities. Additional risks will likely be experienced that are not presently foreseen by the Company. Prospective investors must not construe the information provided herein as constituting investment, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decision to invest in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus and consult with your own investment, legal, tax and other professional advisors. An investment in our securities is suitable only for investors who can assume the financial risks of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time and who can afford to lose their entire investment. The Company makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the likelihood of the success or the business of the Company, the value of our securities, any financial returns that may be generated or any tax benefits or consequences that may result from an investment in the Company.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

We are reliant on one main type of product.

 

We currently rely, and in the future will rely, on sales of our current and new WellnessPro products for our revenues. Though our WellnessPro POD product will be a consumer-focused version of our existing clinical product, it may not receive the market acceptance needed to achieve our revenue goals. Further, the current version of our product, the WellnessPro Plus may face resistance in the market and we may not be able to expand the market acceptance of this product. Achieving and maintaining market acceptance of WellnessPro products could be negatively impacted by many other factors, including, but not limited to:

 

  · lack of sufficient evidence supporting the benefits of WellnessPro over competitive products or other available treatment or lifestyle management;

  · patient resistance to using the device or making required payments;

  · results of clinical studies relating to WellnessPro or similar products;

  · claims that WellnessPro, or any component thereof, infringes on patent or other intellectual property rights of third-parties;

  · perceived risks associated with the use of WellnessPro or similar products or technologies;

  · the introduction of new competitive products or greater acceptance of competitive products;

  · adverse regulatory or legal actions relating to WellnessPro or similar products or technologies; and

  · problems arising from the outsourcing of our manufacturing capabilities, or our existing manufacturing and supply relationships.

 

Any factors that negatively impact sales of WellnessPro would adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

We are a comparatively early stage company and have not generated profits as of our last reporting period, the reporting periods ended June 30, 2019, or during the last two years.

 

Electromedical Technologies began operations in 2003 and has a limited history upon which an evaluation of its performance and future prospects can be made. Our current and proposed operations are subject to all the business risks associated with comparatively new enterprises. These include likely fluctuations in operating results as the Company reacts to developments in its market, managing its growth and the entry of competitors into the market. We will only be able to pay dividends on any shares once our board of directors determines that we are financially able to do so. Electromedical Technologies has incurred a net loss in the last two fiscal years since inception and as of December 31, 2018 has incurred $3,508,362 of accumulated net losses. There is no assurance that we will be profitable in the near future or generate sufficient revenues to pay dividends to the holders of the shares.

 

Our revenues and profits are subject to fluctuations.

 

It is difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and operating results, and these could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include adverse changes in: general industry trends in the pain management, rehabilitation and physical therapy market, the perception of the efficacy of our products, our ability to market our products to consumer and medical practitioners, headcount and other operating costs, general industry and regulatory conditions and requirements. The Company's operating results may fluctuate from year to year due to the factors listed above and others not listed. At times, these fluctuations may be significant and could impact our ability to operate our business.

 

We face significant market competition.

 

We operate in the pain management, rehabilitation and physical therapy market. We not only compete with other similar devices that treat pain and other medical ailments but also with traditional treatment approaches such as drug prescriptions and surgery and rehabilitation therapy. Further, our competitors include several large, diversified companies who have more financial, marketing and other resources, distribution networks and greater name recognition than us. Our ability to be successful will depend on our ability to compete with both device competitors as well as other treatment approaches.

 

  9  

 

 

We operate in an industry that is competitive and subject to technological change.

 

The bioelectronics and electro medicine industries are characterized by competition and technological change, where we compete on a variety of factors, including price, clinical outcomes, product features and services. Potential competitors include large medical device manufacturers and other companies, some of which have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than we do, and firms that are more specialized than we are with respect to particular markets. Our competitors may be able spend more money on marketing campaigns, respond quicker to new technological changes, or be better adept at attracting customers, employees and partners. If our competition is better able to develop and market products or services that are cheaper, safer, more effective or otherwise more appealing to consumers, we may be unable to effectively compete.

 

We may receive a significant number of warranty claims or our products may require significant amounts of service after sale.

 

Sales of the WellnessPro products will include a three-year warranty and our WellnessPro Pod products include a one-year warranty to cover issues other than for normal wear and tear. We will also provide customers with the option to purchase an extended warranty to extend the standard warranty from a one-year to a three-year warranty. As the number and complexity of the features and functionalities of our products increase, we may experience a higher level of warranty claims. If product returns or warranty claims are significant or exceed our expectations, we could incur unanticipated expenditures for parts and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

 

Product and software defects could harm our business.

 

Manufacturing or design defects, unanticipated use of our products or inadequate disclosure of risks relating to the use of our products can lead to injury or other adverse events, including recalls or safety alerts relating to WellnessPro products (either voluntary or required by the FDA or similar governmental authorities in other countries). These recalls could lead to significant costs or the removal of our product from the market. Further, even though we rely on third-party manufacturers their liability is limited contractually; therefore, we could bear the burden of the costs for manufacturing defects. In addition, any defects could subject us to product liability claims, reputational damage and negative publicity, all of which would negatively impact our business.

 

We manufacture a medical device and, therefore, could be subject to litigation.

 

Product liability claims are common in the medical device industry. Even though, we have not been subject to such claims in the past, we could be the defendant in a lawsuit including those related to product liability claims alleging defects in the design, manufacture or labeling of our products. Any litigation, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could result in significant legal costs and high damage awards or settlements. Although we currently maintain product liability insurance, the coverage is subject to deductibles and limitations, and may not be adequate to cover future claims. Additionally, we may be unable to maintain our existing product liability insurance in the future at satisfactory rates or at adequate amounts.

 

We rely on sales representatives and distributors to sell our products.

 

We currently sell our products to consumers through a network of independent sales representatives and distributors, domestically and internationally, as well as through the Company’s website.  We are dependent upon these sales representatives and distributors to both sell our products and assist in the promotion and marketing of our products; however, they are under no contractual obligation to continue to promote our products to their customers.  Further, our sales representatives and distributors can sell the products of our competitors and are not required to promote our product over those of our competitors. Many of our sales representatives and distributors may terminate their relationship with us at any time. Moreover, one of our distributors represents approximately 20% of our annual sales. If we are no longer able to rely on one of more of our distributors, we may experience a decrease in sales, which will negatively impact our business.

 

Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract or retain talented personnel.

 

Our success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of Management, as well as other personnel. We have a small management team, and the loss of a key individual or our inability to attract suitably qualified replacements or additional staff could adversely affect our business. Our success also depends on the ability of Management to form and maintain key commercial relationships within the marketplace. No assurance can be given that key personnel will continue their association or employment with us or that replacement personnel with comparable skills will be found. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and additional employees, our business may be adversely affected. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our executive employees.

 

The lack of available and cost-effective directors and officer’s insurance coverage in our industry may cause us to be unable to attract and retain qualified executives, and this may result in our inability to further develop our business

 

Our business depends on attracting independent directors, executives and senior management to advance our business plans. We currently do not have directors and officer’s insurance to protect our sole director or any new directors that may be appointed in the future and the Company against the possible third-party claims. This is due to the significant lack of availability of such policies at reasonably competitive prices. As a result, the Company and our executive directors and officers are susceptible to liability claims arising by third parties, and as a result, we may be unable to attract and retain qualified independent directors and executive management causing the development of our business plans to be impeded as a result.

 

  10  

 

 

If we fail to maintain satisfactory relationships with future customers, our business may be harmed. 

 

Due to competition or other factors, we could lose business from our future customers, either partially or completely. The future loss of one or more of our significant customers or a substantial future reduction of orders by any of our significant customers could harm our business and results of operations. Moreover, our customers may vary their order levels significantly from period to period and customers may not continue to place orders with us in the future at the same levels as in prior periods. In the event that in the future we lose any of our larger customers, we may not be able to replace that revenue source. This could harm our financial results.

 

Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive

 

Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we will need to hire skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals.

 

We currently rely on third party manufacturers located in Asia.

 

Currently, our products are primarily produced by, and purchased or procured from, independent manufacturing contractors located in Asia, mainly in China. A manufacturing contractor’s failure to ship our products to us in a timely manner or meet the required quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date requirements of our customers for those items. Due to our overseas production, which is more than 80% of total production, our business is subject to the following risks:

 

  · political and economic instability, including heightened terrorism and other security concerns, which could subject imported or exported goods to additional or more frequent inspections, leading to delays in deliveries or impoundment of goods;

  · imposition of regulations and quotas relating to imports;

  · imposition of increased duties, taxes and other charges on imports;

  · labor shortages in China;

  · a significant decrease in availability or an increase in the cost of raw materials;

  · restrictions on the transfer of funds to or from China;

  · disease epidemics and health-related concerns, which could result in closed factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas;

  · increases in the costs of tariffs, fuel, travel and transportation;

  · increases in manufacturing costs in the event of a decline in the value of the United States dollar against major world currencies, particularly the Chinese Yuan, and higher labor costs being experienced by our manufacturers in China; and

  · violations by foreign contractors of labor and wage standards and resulting adverse publicity.

 

If these risks limit or prevent us from selling or manufacturing products in any significant international market, prevent us from acquiring products from foreign suppliers, or significantly increase the cost of our products, our operations could be seriously disrupted until alternative suppliers are found or alternative markets are developed, which could negatively impact our business.

 

We depend on key personnel and have a difficult time recruiting needed personnel.

 

Our future success depends on the efforts of a small number of key personnel, including our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Wolfson, and our computer and engineering teams. In addition, due to our financial resources and specialized expertise required, we may not be able to recruit the individuals needed for our business needs. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to operate and be innovative.

 

Our strategies to grow our business may not be successful.

 

We are pursuing a variety of strategies to grow our business, including:

 

  · collaborations, licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances or partnerships;

  · pursuing sales in international markets; and

  · acquisitions of complementary products or technologies.

 

  11  

 

 

In addition to stretching our financial and management resources, each of these strategies has its own inherent risks. For instance, arranging collaborations, licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances, partnerships and acquisitions can be a lengthy and complex process and we may not enter into such arrangements in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, on acceptable terms or at all. Even if we do enter into such arrangements, they may not result in achieving and developing new models and revenue streams. Expansion internationally could result in additional costs and risks, including those related to development of new distribution channels, increased shipping and distribution costs, compliance with foreign laws and regulations as well as U.S. law controlling international business practices of U.S. companies (such as regulations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the requirements of the Office of Foreign Assets Control), currency fluctuations as well as subjecting us to geopolitical and trade risks. Failure to implement growth strategies could severely impair our business.

 

We are subject to substantial regulation and industry standard guidelines related to the manufacturing, labeling and marketing of our products.

 

The FDA, other applicable U.S. and foreign government agencies, and industry associations regulate or provide guidance on the types of products that we can produce and how we manufacture, label and market those products. These regulations relate to product quality, safety and effectiveness. Further, our facilities are subject to periodic and unannounced inspection by U.S. and foreign regulatory agencies to audit compliance with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (“QSR”) and comparable foreign and ISO regulations. As part of our business plan, we have previously partnered and plan in the future to partner with third parties in the development and manufacturing of these products. We may have limited ability to control any partners’ process and quality control. Further, we do not independently have regulatory counsel and rely on our partners’ specifications for compliance with their regulations and guidelines. Failure by us or our partners to comply with current or future government regulations and quality assurance guidelines or concerns related to safety and manufacturing issues could lead to product recalls, fines, temporary manufacturing shutdowns, product shortages, declines in sales, loss of approvals and certifications, and delays in manufacturing. Any or all of these actions could result in our failure to continue operations or become profitable.

 

We operate in a market that is subject to changing statutory provisions and regulations and interpretations of those statutory provisions and regulations.

 

Regulatory authorities and legislative bodies pass inconsistent and constantly changing laws and regulations, including in the areas related to medical devices, labor and employment laws, and import-export regulations. In particular, we are subject to various domestic and international laws and regulations which determine how we develop, test, manufacture, label, store, install, service, advertise, promote, market, distribute, import, export and market our products. Currently, the WellnessPro device is considered a Class II device by the FDA. See “The Company’s Business – Regulation.” We anticipate that our products will continue to be governed by Class I and Class II and in the future possibly Class III requirements. Changes in laws and regulations or different interpretations of those laws and regulations could make it difficult or impossible to comply or increase our regulatory compliance burdens and therefore hinder our ability to operate profitably. In addition, various laws govern healthcare and the payment for medical devices. Some of our clients are able to purchase our devices because of reimbursements from third parties, including independent and government sponsored insurance schemes. Changes in reimbursements or how our devices are classified could negatively impact our business.

 

We may be subject to patient data protection requirements.

 

There are a number of federal, state and foreign laws protecting the confidentiality of certain patient health information, including patient records, and restricting the use and disclosure of that protected information. In particular, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, promulgated patient privacy rules under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA. If we or any of our service providers are found to be in violation of the promulgated patient privacy rules under HIPAA, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, which could increase our liabilities, harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

We may not be able to protect all of our intellectual property.

 

Our profitability may depend in part on our ability to effectively protect our proprietary rights, including obtaining patent protection for our methods of manufacturing our products, maintaining the secrecy of our internal workings and preserving our trade secrets, as well as our ability to operate without inadvertently infringing on the proprietary rights of others. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain future patents or defend our current and future patents. Further, policing and protecting our intellectual property against unauthorized use by third parties is time-consuming and expensive, and certain countries may not even recognize our intellectual property rights. There can also be no assurance that a third party will not assert patent infringement claims with respect to our products or technologies. Any litigation relating to either protecting our intellectually property or defending our use of certain technologies could have material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition, regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

 

  12  

 

 

As a growing company, we have to develop reliable accounting resources and internal controls. Failure to achieve and maintain effective controls could prevent us from producing reliable financial reports.

 

Effective internal controls and accounting resources are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. We are in the process of implementing a system of internal controls. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal accounting and control environment could cause us to face regulatory action and also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.

 

If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, our business may be harmed, and we may be required to pay damages.

 

Our business exposes us to potential product liability claims that are inherent in the testing, manufacture and sale of medical devices. We could become the subject of product liability lawsuits alleging that component failures, malfunctions, manufacturing flaws, design defects or inadequate disclosure of product-related risks or product-related information resulted in an unsafe condition or injury to patients.

 

Regardless of the merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims may result in:

 

· decreased demand for our products;

 

· injury to our reputation;

 

· significant litigation costs;

 

· substantial monetary awards to or costly settlements with patients;

 

· product recalls;

 

· material defense costs;

 

· loss of revenues;

 

·     the inability to commercialize new products or product candidates; and diversion of management attention from pursuing our business strategy

 

RISKS OF GOVERNMENT ACTION AND REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY

 

Our products and operations are subject to extensive government regulation and oversight both in the United States and abroad, and our failure to comply with applicable requirements could harm our business.

 

We and our products are subject to extensive regulation in the United States and elsewhere, including by the FDA and its foreign counterparts. The FDA and foreign regulatory agencies regulate, among other things, with respect to medical devices: design, development and manufacturing; testing, labeling, content and language of instructions for use and storage; clinical trials; product safety; marketing, sales and distribution; premarket clearance and approval; record keeping procedures; advertising and promotion; recalls and field safety corrective actions; post-market surveillance, including reporting of deaths or serious injuries and malfunctions that, if they were to recur, could lead to death or serious injury; post-market approval studies; and product import and export.

 

The regulations to which we are subject are complex and have tended to become more stringent over time. Regulatory changes could result in restrictions on our ability to carry on or expand our operations, higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales. The FDA enforces these regulatory requirements through periodic unannounced inspections. We do not know whether we will pass any future FDA inspections. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could jeopardize our ability to sell our products and result in enforcement actions such as: warning letters; fines; injunctions; civil penalties; termination of distribution; recalls or seizures of products; delays in the introduction of products into the market; total or partial suspension of production; refusal to grant future clearances or approvals; withdrawals or suspensions of current clearances or approvals, resulting in prohibitions on sales of our products; and in the most serious cases, criminal penalties.

 

  13  

 

 

We may not receive the necessary clearances or approvals for our future products, and failure to timely obtain necessary clearances or approvals for our future products would adversely affect our ability to grow our business.

 

An element of our strategy is to continue to upgrade our products, add new features and expand clearance or approval of our current products to new indications. In the United States, before we can market a new medical device, or a new use of, new claim for or significant modification to an existing product, we must first receive either clearance under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or the FDCA, or approval of a premarket approval application, or PMA, from the FDA, unless an exemption applies. In the 510(k) clearance process, before a device may be marketed, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a legally-marketed “predicate” device, which includes a device that has been previously cleared through the 510(k) process, a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (pre-amendments device), a device that was originally on the U.S. market pursuant to an approved PMA and later down-classified, or a 510(k)-exempt device. To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device, and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics and not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device. Clinical data are sometimes required to support substantial equivalence. In the PMA process, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is safe and effective for its intended use based, in part, on extensive data, including, but not limited to, technical, pre-clinical, clinical trial, manufacturing and labeling data. Our ability to successfully obtain clearance for any new indications will be dependent on us submitting data as to the successful completion of clinical trials evidencing safety and efficacy. The PMA process is typically required for devices that are deemed to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices. However, some devices are automatically subject to the PMA pathway regardless of the level of risk they pose because they have not previously been classified into a lower risk class by the FDA. Manufacturers of these devices may request that FDA review such devices in accordance with the de novo classification procedure, which allows a manufacturer whose novel device would otherwise require the submission and approval of a PMA prior to marketing to request down-classification of the device on the basis that the device presents low or moderate risk. If the FDA agrees with the down classification, the applicant will then receive authorization to market the device. This device type can then be used as a predicate device for future 510(k) submissions. We initially received marketing authorization of our device through the de novo classification process, and we have made changes to our system through subsequent 510(k) clearances. The process of obtaining regulatory clearances or approvals, or completing the de novo classification process, to market a medical device can be costly and time consuming, and we may not be able to successfully obtain pre-market reviews on a timely basis, if at all.

 

Modifications to products that are approved through a PMA application generally require FDA approval. Similarly, certain modifications made to products cleared through a 510(k) or authorized through the de novo classification process may require a new 510(k) clearance. Each of the PMA approval, de novo classification and the 510(k) clearance processes can be expensive, lengthy and uncertain. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to twelve months, but can last longer. The process of obtaining a PMA is much more costly and uncertain than the 510(k) clearance process and generally takes from one to three years, or even longer, from the time the application is filed with the FDA. In addition, a PMA generally requires the performance of one or more clinical trials.

 

Despite the time, effort and cost, a device may not be approved or cleared by the FDA. Any delay or failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or clearances could harm our business. Furthermore, even if we are granted regulatory clearances or approvals, they may include significant limitations on the indicated uses for the device, which may limit the market for the device.

 

Any modifications to our existing products may require new 510(k) clearance; however, future modifications may be subject to the substantially more costly, time-consuming and uncertain PMA process. If the FDA requires us to go through a lengthier, more rigorous examination for future products or modifications to existing products than we had expected, product introductions or modifications could be delayed or canceled, which could cause our sales to decline.

 

The FDA can delay, limit or deny clearance or approval of a device for many reasons, including: we may be unable to demonstrate to the FDA’s satisfaction that the product or modification is substantially equivalent to the proposed predicate device or safe and effective for its intended use; the data from our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials may be insufficient to support clearance or approval, where required; and the manufacturing process or facilities we use may not meet applicable requirements.

 

Even if granted, a 510(k) clearance, de novo classification, or PMA approval imposes substantial restrictions on how our devices may be marketed or sold, and the FDA continues to place considerable restrictions on our products and operations. For example, the manufacture of medical devices must comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR. In addition, manufacturers must register their manufacturing facilities, list the products with the FDA, and comply with requirements relating to labeling, marketing, complaint handling, adverse event and medical device reporting, reporting of corrections and removals, and import and export. The FDA monitors compliance with the QSR and these other requirements through periodic inspections. If our facilities or those of our manufacturers or suppliers are found to be in violation of applicable laws and regulations, or if we or our manufacturers or suppliers fail to take satisfactory corrective action in response to an adverse inspection, the regulatory authority could take enforcement action, including any of the following sanctions: untitled letters, warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties; customer notifications or repair, replacement, refunds, detention or seizure of our products; operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production; refusing or delaying requests for 510(k) marketing clearance or PMA approvals of new products or modified products; withdrawing 510(k) marketing clearances or PMA approvals that have already been granted; refusing to provide Certificates for Foreign Government; refusing to grant export approval for our products; or pursuing criminal prosecution. Any of these sanctions could impair our ability to produce our products in a cost-effective and timely manner in order to meet our customers’ demands, and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition. We may also be required to bear other costs or take other actions that may have a negative impact on our sales and our ability to generate profits.

 

  14  

 

 

In addition, the FDA may change its clearance and approval policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions, which may prevent or delay approval or clearance of our future products under development or impact our ability to modify our currently cleared products on a timely basis. Such policy or regulatory changes could impose additional requirements upon us that could delay our ability to obtain new 510(k) clearances, increase the costs of compliance or restrict our ability to maintain our current clearances. We also cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative or executive action, either in the United States or abroad. For example, certain policies of the Trump administration may impact our business and industry. Namely, the Trump administration has taken several executive actions, including the issuance of a number of Executive Orders, that could impose significant burdens on, or otherwise materially delay, the FDA’s ability to engage in routine regulatory and oversight activities such as implementing statutes through rulemaking, issuance of guidance, and review and approval of marketing applications. It is difficult to predict how these executive actions, including the Executive Orders, will be implemented, and the extent to which they will impact the FDA’s ability to exercise its regulatory authority. If these executive actions impose constraints on FDA’s ability to engage in oversight and implementation activities in the normal course, our business may be negatively impacted.

 

In order to sell our products in member countries of the EEA our products must comply with the essential requirements of the EU Medical Devices Directive (Council Directive 93/42/EEC). Compliance with these requirements is a prerequisite to be able to affix the CE Mark to our products, without which they cannot be sold or marketed in the EEA. To demonstrate compliance with the essential requirements we must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of medical device and its classification. Except for low-risk medical devices (Class I non-sterile, non-measuring devices), where the manufacturer can issue an EC Declaration of Conformity based on a self-assessment of the conformity of its products with the essential requirements of the EU Medical Devices Directive, a conformity assessment procedure requires the intervention of an organization accredited by a Member State of the EEA to conduct conformity assessments, or a Notified Body. Depending on the relevant conformity assessment procedure, the Notified Body would typically audit and examine the technical file and the quality system for the manufacture, design and final inspection of our devices. The Notified Body issues a certificate of conformity following successful completion of a conformity assessment procedure conducted in relation to the medical device and its manufacturer and their conformity with the essential requirements. This certificate entitles the manufacturer to affix the CE Mark to its medical devices after having prepared and signed a related EC Declaration of Conformity.

 

We or our distributors will may also need to obtain regulatory approval in other foreign jurisdictions in which we plan to market and sell our products, and we or they may not obtain such approvals as necessary to commercialize our products in those territories.

 

Our products must be manufactured in accordance with federal and state regulations, and we could be forced to recall our installed systems or terminate production if we fail to comply with these regulations.

 

The methods used in, and the facilities used for, the manufacture of our products must comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, which is a complex regulatory scheme that covers the procedures and documentation of the design, testing, production, process controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, handling, storage, distribution, installation, servicing and shipping of medical devices. Furthermore, we are required to verify that our suppliers maintain facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality standards and applicable regulatory requirements. The FDA enforces the QSR through periodic announced or unannounced inspections of medical device manufacturing facilities, which may include the facilities of subcontractors. Our products are also subject to similar state regulations and various laws and regulations of foreign countries governing manufacturing.

 

We or our third-party manufacturers may not take the necessary steps to comply with applicable regulations, which could cause delays in the delivery of our products. In addition, failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements or later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products or manufacturing processes could result in, among other things: warning letters or untitled letters; fines, injunctions or civil penalties; suspension or withdrawal of approvals or clearances; seizures or recalls of our products; total or partial suspension of production or distribution; administrative or judicially imposed sanctions; the FDA’s refusal to grant pending or future clearances or approvals for our products; clinical holds; refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and criminal prosecution of us or our employees.

 

Any of these actions could significantly and negatively impact supply of our products. If any of these events occurs, our reputation could be harmed, we could be exposed to product liability claims and we could lose customers and suffer reduced revenues and increased costs.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

We may need additional capital that will dilute the ownership interest of investors.

 

We may require additional capital to fund our future business operations. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our shares of common stock, who may experience dilution of their ownership interest of our shares of Common Stock. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. During recent financial periods, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock by our board of directors may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our shares of Common Stock. 

 

  15  

 

 

We will be controlled by existing shareholders after this offering.

 

Upon the completion of this Offering, our sole director and officer currently in place will continue to oversee the Company’s operations.

 

As a result, our sold director and officer will likely have a significant influence on the affairs and management of the Company, as well as on all matters requiring stockholder approval, including electing and removing members of its board of directors, causing the Company to engage in transactions with affiliated entities, causing or restricting the sale or merger of the Company and changing the Company’s dividend policy. Such concentration of ownership and control could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, even when such a change of control would be in the best interests of the Company’s other stockholders.

 

Our shares of Common Stock qualify as a penny stock. As such, we are subject to the risks associated with "penny stocks". Regulations relating to "penny stocks" limit the ability of our shareholders to sell their shares and, as a result, our shareholders may have to hold their shares indefinitely.

 

Our shares of Common Stock are deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Regulation Section 240.3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks are stocks: (a) with a price of less than $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ - where listed stocks must still meet requirement (a) above); or (d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.

 

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation 240.15g(c)2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission require broker dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in our shares of Common Stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares of Common Stock that are deemed to be "penny stock".

 

Moreover, Regulation 240.15g-9 of the SEC requires broker dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker dealer to: (a) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (b) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (c) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (d) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in our shares of Common Stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. Holders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks suffers from patterns of fraud and abuse.

 

  16  

 

 

Our Management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, Management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock and to deposit certificates in paper form or to clear shares for trading under Safe Harbor exemptions and regulations for unregistered shares.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker- dealers to recommend that their customers buy our shares of Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for our investors to deposit paper stock certificates or to clear our shares of Common Stock that are transferred electronically to brokerage accounts. There can be no assurances that our investors will be able to clear our shares for eventual resale.

 

Costs and expenses of being a reporting company under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act may be burdensome and prevent us from achieving profitability

 

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and parts of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources.

 

 

RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING

 

Since our shares of Common Stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.

 

Since our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to): the trading volume of our shares, the number of analysts, market-makers and brokers following our shares of Common Stock, new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors, actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results, conditions or trends in our business industries, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of our shares of Common Stock and general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly traded, and particularly microcap, companies.

 

Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our Common Stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our shares of Common Stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. Although there is no such litigation currently pending or threatened against us, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as noted below, our shares are currently traded on the OTC Markets Pink and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to potential manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.

 

  17  

 

 

Our chief executive officer and principal stockholder, Matthew Wolfson, will continue to have substantial control over us after this offering, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control.

 

After this offering our executive officer and principal stockholder will beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, a significant majority of our shares. As a result, this stockholder could have significant influence over the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election or removal of directors, any amendments to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and over the management and affairs of our company. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and might affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Because we do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, investors in this offering may never receive a return on their investment.

 

We do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain any earnings to maintain and expand our existing operations. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment.

 

There could be unidentified risks involved with an investment in our securities

 

The foregoing risk factors are not a complete list or explanation of the risks involved with an investment in the securities. Additional risks will likely be experienced that are not presently foreseen by the Company. Prospective investors must not construe this and the information provided herein as constituting investment, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decision to invest in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus and consult with your own investment, legal, tax and other professional advisors. An investment in our securities is suitable only for investors who can assume the financial risks of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time and who can afford to lose their entire investment.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Prospectus may contain certain “forward-looking” statements as such term is defined by the SEC in its rules, regulations and releases, which represent the registrant’s expectations or beliefs, including but not limited to, statements concerning the registrant’s operations, economic performance, financial condition, growth and acquisition strategies, investments, and future operational plans. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intent,” “could,” “estimate,” “might,” “plan,” “predict” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the registrant’s control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including uncertainty related to acquisitions, governmental regulation, managing and maintaining growth, the operations of the Company and its subsidiary, volatility of stock price, federal enforcement and state enforcement, and any other factors discussed in this and other registrant filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The risks and uncertainties and other factors include but are not limited to those set forth under Risk Factors of this Prospectus. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or the risk factors described in this Prospectus or in the documents we incorporate by reference, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason after the date of this Prospectus.

Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and matters described in Prospectus generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will in fact occur. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. In addition to the information expressly required to be included in this Prospectus, we will provide such further material information, if any, as may be necessary to make the required statements, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

 

Except as required by federal securities laws, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The Selling Stockholders are selling all of the shares of our Common Stock covered by this Prospectus for their own accounts. Accordingly, we will not receive any proceeds from the resale of our Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders.

 

However, we will receive proceeds from any sale of the shares of Common Stock under the Direct Public Offering. We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of our common stock in the Public Offering will be approximately $19,400,000, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $1.94 per share. Each $0.01 increase (decrease) in the assumed offering price of $1.94 per share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $100,000 assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We estimate our total offering registration costs to be approximately $3,843.27, which will be paid from corporate funds. We estimate our legal and auditor related fees will be $220,000, which will reduce the funds received by the Company via the Primary Offering by $220,000. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of one million shares in the number of shares of common stock offered by us would increase (decrease) the net proceeds that we receive from this offering by approximately $100,000 assuming the offering price remains the same.

 

Proceeds from the Direct Public Offering will be used for general working capital, purchases of capital equipment, enhancement of our marketing programs, and for other general corporate purposes, as set forth below.

 

Percentage of Direct Public Offering Shares Sold     100%     75%     50%     25%
                                 
Accounting, Audit, Transfer Agent, Edgar Agent, and Other Fees associated with being a publicly traded company   $ 900,000     $ 900,000     $ 900,000     $ 900,000

Total Use of Proceeds   $ 19,400,000     $ 14,550,000     $ 9,700,000     $ 4,850,000  

 

  19  

 

 

The Company anticipates the estimated $19,400,000 gross proceeds from the Maximum Offering will enable it to execute its maximum business plan, expand marketing efforts, fund inventory build ups and to fund the working capital account.

 

In the event that the Maximum Offering is not completed, the Company may be required to seek additional financing as the Company needs a minimum of approximately $4,850,000 in gross proceeds to implement its minimum business plan and support its operations over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance additional financing will be available when needed, and, if available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

Our shares of Common Stock are currently listed on the OTC Markets Pink under the symbol “ELCQ”. The proposed offering price of the Shares is $1.94 and has been estimated solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, on the basis of the average of the transaction prices of the shares of Common Stock of the Company as reported on the OTC Markets Group, Inc., for the last two years.

This prospectus relates to:

  2) The offer and sale from time to time of up to 10,000,000 of the Company’s common shares by the Company.

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have not declared or paid dividends on our common stock since our formation, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any, in the future, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our then current financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not anticipate paying dividends, and if we are not successful in establishing an orderly public trading market for our shares, then you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future, we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand our business operations.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person or his/her spouse has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.

 

In total 5,262,458 shares are being registered by the Selling Shareholders. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Selling Shareholder shares. The Selling Shareholders have no agreement with any underwriters with respect to the sale of the Selling Shareholder Shares. The Selling Shareholders, who are deemed to be statutory underwriters, will offer their shares at market prices from time to time through various methods, including, but not limited to ordinary broker’s transactions, privately negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more dealers for resale. None of the Selling Security Holders is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Direct Primary Offering shares will be sold in a “direct public offering” through our sold director, and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Wolfson, who may be considered an underwriter as that term is defined in Section 2(a) (11). Mr. Wolfson will not receive any commission in connection with the sale of shares, although we may reimburse him for direct expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the shares. Mr. Wolfson intends to sell the shares being registered according to the following plan of distribution:

 

Shares will be offered to friends, family, business associates and other associates of Mr. Wolfson.

 

Mr. Wolfson will be relying on, and complying with, Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(ii) of the Exchange Act as a “safe harbor” from registration as a broker-dealer in connection with the offer and sale of the shares. In order to rely on such “safe harbor” provisions provided by Rule 3a4-1(a) (4) (ii), he must be in compliance with all of the following:

 

  · he must not be subject to a statutory disqualification;
  · he must not be compensated in connection with such selling participation by payment of commissions or other payments based either directly or indirectly on such transactions;
  · he must not be an associated person of a broker-dealer;
  · he must primarily perform, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the Company otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and
  · he must perform substantial duties for the issuer after the close of the offering not connected with transactions in securities, and not have been associated with a broker or dealer for the preceding 12 months, and not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months.

 

Mr. Wolfson will comply with the guidelines enumerated in Rule 3a4-1(a) (4) (ii). Neither Mr. Wolfson, nor any of his affiliates, will be purchasing shares in the offering.

 

You may purchase shares by completing and manually executing a simple subscription agreement and delivering it with your payment in full for all shares, which you wish to purchase, to our offices. A copy of the form of that subscription agreement is attached as an exhibit to our registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part. Your subscription shall not become effective until accepted by us and approved by our counsel. Acceptance will be based upon confirmation that you have purchased the shares in a state providing for an exemption from registration. Our subscription process is as follows:

 

  · prospectus, with subscription agreement, is delivered by the Company to each offeree;
  · the subscription is completed by the offeree, and submitted with check back to the Company where the subscription and a copy of the check is faxed to counsel for review;
  · each subscription is reviewed by counsel for the Company to confirm the subscribing party completed the form, and to confirm the state of acceptance;
  · once approved by counsel, the subscription is accepted by Mr. Wolfson, and the funds shall be deposited within four (4) days of acceptance;
  · subscriptions not accepted are returned with all funds sent with the subscription within three business days of the Company’s receipt of the subscription, without interest or deduction of any kind.

 

The Selling Security Holders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of our common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. The Selling Security Holders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

  · ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Investors;
  · block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  · purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  · an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
  · privately negotiated transactions;
  · to cover short sales made after the date that this prospectus is declared effective by the Commission;
  · broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Security Holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
  · a combination of any such methods of sale; and
  · any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

  24  

 

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Security Holders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Security Holders, or, if any broker-dealer acts as an agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser, in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Security Holders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

 

The Selling Security Holders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 462(c) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling security holders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling security holders under this prospectus.

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver to the prospective purchaser a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the prospective purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Furthermore, subsequent to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer will be required to deliver monthly or quarterly statements containing specific information about the penny stock. It is anticipated that our common stock will be traded on the OTC Pink at a price of less than $5.00. In this event, broker-dealers would be required to comply with the disclosure requirements mandated by the penny stock rules. These disclosure requirements will likely make it more difficult for investors in this offering to sell their common stock in the secondary market.

 

Upon our being notified in writing by a Selling Security Holder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of our common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a post-effective amendment to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 462(c) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Security Holder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of our common stock were sold, (iv)the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s). In addition, upon our being notified in writing by a Selling Security Holder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of our common stock, a post-effective amendment to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

 

Prior to any involvement of any broker-dealer in the offering, such broker-dealer must seek and obtain clearance of the underwriting compensation and arrangements from FINRA.

  

  25  

 

 

The Selling Security Holders also may transfer the shares of our common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The Selling Security Holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the Selling Security Holder and/or the purchasers. Each Selling Security Holder has represented and warranted to us that it acquired the securities subject to this prospectus in the ordinary course of such Selling Security Holders business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such Selling Security Holder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities. 

 

We have advised each Selling Security Holder that it may not use shares registered on this prospectus to cover short sales of our common stock made prior to the date on which this prospectus shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If a Selling Security Holder uses this prospectus for any sale of our common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Security Holders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations there under promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Security Holders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this prospectus.

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Security Holders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

All sales by the Company to the public through direct Primary Offering will be issued directly from the Company to the subscriber as a proceeds-generating offering for the Company.

 

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Interest will accrue at 10% from the due date thereon until all principal is paid in full. Proceeds from the loans were used for operations. In November 2018, the Company entered into KISS agreement with this related party for a purchase price of $35,000. The purchase price of the KISS agreement is non-interest bearing, matures twelve months from the issuance date on November 1, 2019 and has been recorded as KISS liability- related party in the current liabilities section of the Company’s balance sheet. Under the terms of the agreement, the KISS agreement may be converted into a certain amount of “Conversion Shares” at the earlier of the Company’s “Next Equity Financing” or “Corporate Transaction” as defined in the agreement, or at maturity. The Company has calculated the estimated number of conversion shares to be 8,189,874 at June 30, 2019. On October 21, 2019, the related party received 1,000,000 conversion shares. The liability is currently in default.

The promissory note began accruing interest on the interest commencement date of October 1, 2018 at 2% per annum, compounded monthly. The principal balance and accrued interest of $3,775 were repaid as of June 30, 2019. Included in the accompanying balance sheets is $126,632 and $261,304 due from the Company’s CEO as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At December 31, 2018, $250,000 of the amount due from the Company’s CEO has been net against the note payable due the CEO, leaving a receivable of $11,304.

 

In August of 2019, the Company’s CEO repaid $100,000 of a third- party note reducing the amount due from the CEO by that amount.

 

In October 2013, the Company entered in to a $45,000 note payable with an individual related to the Company's CEO. The proceeds were used for operations.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Company History and Overview

 

The Company was formed in Nevada in August 30, 2002 as IntelSource Group, Inc. and began operations in 2003. In 2007, IntelSource Group, Inc. merged with ElectroMedical Technologies, LLC. The Company began acting as Electro Medical Technologies, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company on November 9, 2010 after the merger with ElectroMedical Technologies, LLC, a Nevada Company. The Company converted to a corporation in the State of Delaware on August 23, 2017.

 

Electromedical Technologies is a bioelectronics manufacturing and marketing company. We offer U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared medical devices for pain management.

 

Bioelectronics is a developing field of “electronic” medicine, which uses electrical impulses over the body’s neural circuitry to try to alleviate pain, without drugs. The human body is controlled by electrical signals sent through the nervous system, which can become distorted after accidents or as a result of disease. The field of bioelectronic medicine aims to safely correct irregularities in the nervous system by modifying the electrical language of the body related to pain relief.

 

Our mission is to improve global wellness for people suffering from various painful conditions by relieving chronic and acute pain using energy, frequency and vibration as an alternative to pharmaceuticals; and one day, read and modifies electrical signals passing along nerves in the body, to restore long-term health.

 

Additionally, we have a corporate goal to offer the public effective alternatives to addictive pain relieving drugs, such as opiods. According to the Society of Actuaries, opioid overdose deaths are now the single largest factor slowing the growth in U.S. life expectancy and has led to stagnation or decreases in life expectancy three years in a row for the first time since 1915–1918, when the country was facing World War I and the Spanish flu pandemic. The U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that, from 1999 through 2017, nearly 400,000 have died from overdoses from prescription or illicit opiods. It is our aim to offer effective alternatives to pain management.

 

We believe that we do this by delivering innovative solutions providing fast and long lasting pain relief across the broadest range of ailments. We engineer simple-to-use bioelectronics therapy devices, which send a proprietary sequence of electrical signals. We believe our devices have proven to be highly effective over the past decade and have the technological capability to be used in medical research.

 

The Company is publically traded on the OTC Markets PINKS under the symbol ELCQ.

Principal Products and Services

 

WellnessPro Plus

 

Our principal product, WellnessPro Plusis an intelligent and effective bioelectronics therapy prescription device; and is used by consumers and health care professionals to relieve chronic and acute pain. Research studies have shown the efficacy of bioelectronics therapy in the treatment of chronic pain from a variety of ailments including: arthritis, chronic low back pain, fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, Lyme disease, osteoarthritis, and neuropathic pain. This medical device is classified in the FDA as a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (“TENS”) device. We believe, based on consumer and professional testimonials from the past decade that our device has been on the market, that the WellnessPro Plus treats pain conditions faster with longer-lasting relief, compared to lower cost conventional TENS devises. We attribute this in part to our proprietary algorithm and technology that we call the “DeepPulse.” With the DeepPulse there are close to one million frequency ranges to choose from to help prevent accommodation. The device can also generate micro-current stimulation to mimic the body’s own electric signals

 

The device sends a proprietary sequence of electrical signals that change at various times, preventing accommodation (where the body adapts to specific treatments, diminishing treatment effectiveness). Also, our proprietary DeepPulse pre-modulation technology allows signals to penetrate deeper into affected areas, which we believe produces faster, longer-lasting pain relief. Additionally, our micro-current mode delivers signals, which naturally mimic the body's signals, triggering the body's own natural ability to relieve pain via "endorphin release" and accelerating the ION pump exchange. This allows for reduction of pain, increased microcirculation and oxygenation of red blood cells, which in turn helps the body de-stress from pain and trigger natural, healthy processes necessary for better health.

 

WellnessPro POD and Wellness ION Pen

 

We are planning to bring two new products to market – extending the Wellness Product line: the WellnessPro POD, our first wearable product, and the Wellness ION Pen. We believe that the WellnessPro POD represents an exciting product line expansion as a “clinical-grade” wearable device, that is intended to treat chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, depression and insomnia. We intend to sell this device over-the-counter; however, some modalities on this device may only be provided with a prescription. Our target market for the WellnessPro POD is chronic pain sufferers, which is estimated to be 100 million individuals in the United States alone. We intend to focus on various segments in this market, including veterans of U.S. armed forces, which according to the Census Bureau, as of 2014, consists of nearly 22 million individuals. Our goal is to educate the medical community of the benefits of "natural", non-invasive, non-toxic pain relief and for the WellnessPro POD to be an initial choice for practitioners to prescribe separately or in conjunction with pain medication.

 

Both of these new products will integrate with the WellnessPro Plus to leverage the engineering breakthroughs and intellectual property found in the WellnessPro Plus, and yet will still function as standalone devices.

 

WellnessPro POD

 

  · The WellnessPro POD is a compact “clinical-grade” wearable intended to keep pace with the evolution in pain management across practice segments, which will expand the range of treated modalities from chronic and acute pain to include PTSD, anxiety, depression and insomnia.

 

Wellness ION Pen

 

  · The Wellness ION Pen is a unique interferential cold laser used to deliver targeted frequency stimulation. This therapeutic laser, which we intend to sell over-the-counter, will deliver expanded wavelengths relative to comparable lasers combined with micro-stimulation. We believe this will improve circulation and tissue healing and reduce inflammation and pain. The Wellness ION Pen will also have cosmetic applications for skin issues

 

  30  

 

 

Market

 

The Wellness line of products is intended for anyone living with pain caused by various medical conditions or trauma, or who is battling pharmaceutical (e.g. opioid) dependency or addiction. The products can be purchased directly by consumers or used by healthcare practitioners, including:

 

  · Chiropractors;
  · Physiotherapists;
  · Pain management doctors and clinicians;
  · Natural medicine doctors;
  · Sports medicine doctors; and
  · Athletic trainers.

 

According to information provided by the American Academy of Pain Medicine, at least 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, not including acute pain for children. We believe that Electromedical represents a tested, proven solution for different segments of the population.

 

We plan to address these individuals directly as well as through their healthcare providers. There are approximately 77,000 chiropractors and 123,000 physiotherapists in the United States. Combined, over 200,000 healthcare practitioners focused on rehabilitation and pain relief – not to mention practitioners involved in sports medicine, natural medicine and pain management.

 

In additional we believe there are certain niche markets that our products are well suited to address. As discussed above, we expect that veterans will be the first market for the WellnessPro POD as it addresses the various needs our veteran population is suffering from.

 

Further, we believe that our products can help provide a solution to the opioid problem. Our current product, the WellnessPro Plus, assists with the recovery from opioid addiction. We believe that the WellnessPro POD will also be highly effective for pain management and relief and could be used as an alternative, or can be prescribed in conjunction with pain medication, to reduce the amount of deaths and addictions due to Opioid abuse and misuse.

 

Competition

 

We operate in the pain management, rehabilitation and physical therapy market. We not only compete with other similar devices that treat pain and other medical ailments, but also with traditional treatment approaches such as drug prescriptions and surgery and rehabilitation therapy and complementary medical practices such as acupuncture. Further, our competitors include several large, diversified companies who have more financial, marketing and other resources, distribution networks and greater name recognition than us. These competitors include: Galvani Bioelectronics, Medtronic and DJOGlobal-Chatanooga. Historically, Electromedical has competed in the “electromedical” and "bio-electrotherapy" device segment, including the crowded TENS market, which now includes inexpensive TENS devices such as the devices produced by “IcyHot.”

 

Strategy

 

Electromedical Technologies, for the first fifteen years of its existence, has been fortunate to have grown “organically” without formal sales and marketing programs and investments. We believe this is fundamentally because of the product’s ability to deliver uncommon levels of pain relief better quality of life and wellness for thousands of customers (our “raving fans”). These raving fans subsequently shared their miraculous stories of recovery – some of which can be found on our website. We believe that those testimonials influenced thousands of people living with ailments and pain to turn to the WellnessPro Plus for relief. These changes in with the additional capital we are planning to raise. In 2019 and beyond, Electromedical will engage in a comprehensive and fully integrated marketing program to increase sales and build the Electromedical brand. The integrated marketing program will include the following elements:

 


Website marketing. 

 

  o Using sophisticated tools integrated with our website, such as marketing automation, we will automate the process of nurturing web visitors and increasing sales.

 

  · Digital marketing.

 

  o Using advanced approaches for improving Electromedical’s organic and paid search optimization results, we will increase traffic to and sales from our website.

 

  · Social marketing and advertising. 

 

  o Using a comprehensive approach to marketing across the primary social channels (twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram), we will engage consumers and influencers (associations), elevate the brand and increase sales directly and indirectly.

 

  o Social marketing will also include the thoughtful use of Facebook ads and LinkedIn sponsored posts to drive web traffic and increase sales.

 

  · Content marketing. 

 

  o Using a thoughtful approach to newsletters and blog content, we will elevate the brand and increase sales directly and indirectly.

 

  · Partner and association marketing.

 

  o We will selectively identify associations and partners that can help elevate the brand and increase sales. Examples of associations that we intend to target include the American Chiropractic Association, which may provide an important opportunity to increase awareness, exercise thought leadership and drive sales.

 

  31  

 

 

  · Trade show marketing

 

  o We will evaluate and participate in selective medical device and wellness trade shows, which elevate the brand and increase sales.

 

In addition to a comprehensive marketing program, Electromedical will make strategic investments in sales staff, training and support, all intended to expand distribution and sales.

 

  · Sales Staff: Electromedical intends to hire a Sales Director to further develop its business opportunities on various geographic areas.

 

  · National Technical Training Manager: Electromedical intends to hire a National Technical Training Manager to develop and implement training programs.

 

Our Advantages

 

Why Bioelectronics?

 

We believe Bioelectronic medicine represents an evolution in electrotherapy, which brings together electronics and biology for the treatment of pain. This evolution corresponds with Electromedical’s bioelectrical engineering focus for more than 15 years.

 

The bioelectronics field has recently seen more interest with announcements such as British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline and Google's parent company Alphabet forming a new company, Galvani Bioelectronics. Also, industry leaders such as General Electric are also making investments in bioelectronics. Electromedical believes bioelectronics will change medical science forever and how people are treated for their conditions; with non-invasive products that will be able to read and modify electrical signals passing along nerves and cells in the body, to restore health.

 

As reported in the Wall Street Journal, July 2016, Kevin Tracey, president and chief executive officer of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, commented “we live in a pharmacocentric culture today, where the world revolves around a drug for everything in a trillion-dollar pharmaceutical industry,” he says. “But when I talk to patients…people don’t want to take drugs.” According to the Feinstein Institute, “bioelectronics medicine is a scientific discipline that brings together molecular biology, neurophysiology, neurotechnology and analytics to develop nerve-stimulating technologies to regulate the molecular targets underlying disease. This approach promises to deliver therapies superior to pharmaceuticals in terms of efficacy, safety, and cost, without significant side effects.”

 

Bioelectronic medicine brings together electronics and biology for the treatment of disease and pain and is well established, with pacemakers in use since the 1930’s and the first transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device patented in 1974. The field has recently seen more attention with announcements such as British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline and Google's parent company Alphabet forming a new company, Galvani Bioelectronics, to develop bioelectronic medicine devices. The increased interest in bioelectronic medicine is explained in part by the facts that an average new drug takes 10 years and $2.6 billion to get from lab to pharmacy, according to industry group PhRMA.

 

The field of biolectronic medicine is focused on fighting diseases by delivering targeted electrical signals into the body and utilizing existing nervous-system connections linking the brain to every part of the body. Electrical Medical’s WellnessPro platform stimulates the peripheral nerves that send information about touch and vibration. The signals from the stimulated nerves interfere with pain signals traveling to the brain, which reduces the brain’s perception of pain, and stimulate naturally occurring pain relievers (e.g. dopamine).

 

Unlike implantable bioelectronic medicine devices planned by Galvani Bioelectronics and supplied by Medtronic, the WellnessPro POD is a portable, non-toxic and non-invasive device.

 

  32  

 

 

Electromedical – a possible answer to the Growing Opioid Problem?

 

It is our goal and passion to significantly help reduce people’s dependency on pharmaceutical drugs and subsequently drug abuse – specifically from dangerous and highly addictive opioid narcotics. We think it is time to be bold and aggressive with our technology and commitment to help people who suffer from chronic and often crippling pain. We believe that the amount of data around opioid abuse due to chronic pain is staggering. According to a report published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “between 26.4 million and 36 million people abuse opioids worldwide, with an estimated 2.1 million people in the United States suffering from substance use disorders related to prescription opioid pain relievers in 2012.”

 

We support the effort and awareness for the opioid epidemic. People are dying, families are suffering, and the addictions are real. We believe that Electromedical Technologies’ WellnessPro Plus and product extensions, planned for the future, will bring a drug-free solution to those suffering with chronic pain and offers real relief. Moreover, we believe that the miniaturized, affordable WellnessPro POD will bring this technology to the masses.

 

Groundbreaking research at the Minneapolis VA has found no long-term benefits for patients taking opioid medications for chronic pain — a finding that we believe is likely to strengthen the case for reducing use of the addictive medications that have been responsible for a sharp rise in drug overdoses and deaths.

 

Distribution

 

Currently, Electromedical Technologies sells its products to consumers through a network of independent sales representatives and distributors, domestically and internationally, as well as through the Company website. These channels for Electromedical include:

 

  · Private citizens that elect to start a business reselling Electromedical products;
  · Professional distributors and independent sales representatives which currently sell medical devices into our target markets (chiropractic, physiotherapy, sports medicine, etc.); and
  · Healthcare professionals who not only administer treatments using the WellnessPro Plus but also sell the WellnessPro Plus to patients. Healthcare professionals in this channel include, chiropractors, physiotherapists, pain management doctors and clinicians, natural medicine doctors, sports medicine doctors and athletic trainers.

 

We recently signed independent sales representative and licensing agreement to open Electromedical de Mexico and develop a network of local sales representatives. This sales representative has a network of 200 representatives in Mexico.

 

In addition, we received FSS contract number relative to sales to US Veterans and Administration (VA) via third party. Under the terms of the agreement with the third party we plan to supply our product for resale to the VA. Sales have not yet begun. This third party reseller contract is attached.

 

Our current products require a prescription; however, we intend that our expansion lines will be available over-the counter.

 

Manufacturing

 

We outsource our inventory production to a number of manufacturers in the United States and in Asia. The final WellnessPro package assembly is completed in the United States. In addition, to sourcing our own factories, the Company uses a U.S. based global sourcing provider to source and manage, including performing quality assurances, our manufacturers based in Asia, primarily in China. We are currently looking to source additional vendors to help expand the geographic diversity of our manufacturing facilities and are considering moving our manufacturing to the United States and negotiating directly with more of our manufacturers.

 

Research and Development

 

We maintain an active research and development program. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs amounted to $21,081 and $0 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations.

 

Employees

 

We currently have 5 full-time employees working out of Scottsdale, Arizona.

 

Regulation

 

Medical devices are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in the United States and can be regulated by foreign governments for devices sold internationally. The Company has medical device certifications in the USA (FDA),

 

The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations issued by the FDA regulate testing, manufacturing, packaging, and marketing of medical devices. Under the current regulations and standards, we believe that our devices are subject to general controls, including compliance with labeling and record-keeping rules. In addition, our medical devices require pre-market approval, which for TENS devices can be achieved through a 510(k) premarket notification submission.

 

Further, our manufacturing processes and facilities are also subject to regulations, including the FDA’s QSR requirements (formerly Good Manufacturing Practices). These regulations govern the way we manufacture our products and maintain documentation for our manufacturing, testing and control activities. In addition, to the extent we manufacture and sell products abroad, those products are subject to the relevant laws and regulations of those countries.

      

Finally, the labeling of our devices, our promotional activities and marketing materials are regulated by the FDA and various state agencies. Activities that are constrained by these regulations include the marketing of our products for “off-label” usage; that is, recommendations to use our products for purposes other than what is indicated in the labeling. Violations of this requirement may result in administrative, civil or criminal actions against the manufacturer or seller by the FDA or governing state agencies.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of the ultimate liability, if any, from such claims cannot be determined. As of the date of this filing, there were no legal claims currently pending or threatened against us that in the opinion of Management would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

There are no legal proceedings against the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

This discussion and analysis may include statements regarding our expectations with respect to our future performance, liquidity, and capital resources. Such statements, along with any other non-historical statements in the discussion, are forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, factors listed in other documents we file with the SEC(the "SEC'').

Overview and Financial Condition

 

Going Concern

 

The Company sustained continued operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the six-months ended June 30, 2019. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management is endeavoring to commence revenue-generating operations. While priority is on generating cash from operations through the sale of the Company's products, management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company's equity and/or debt securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and our operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us and/or our shareholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing shareholders will be reduced and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our shares of Common Stock.

Operating Results

 

January 1 through June 30, 2019 Compared to January 1 through June 30, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

Our sales totaled $354,893 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $353,483 for the six-months ended June 30, 2018. The Company is continuing in its efforts to increase its sales but there is no guarantee that it will be able to do so.

 

Cost of sales and gross margins for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $106,208 and 70% and $78,680 and 78%, respectively. Our cost of sales consists of the cost of goods sold and distribution expenses. Additional air freight charges in order to expedite the receipt of inventory, increased unit pricing and additional replacements resulted in the increase in cost of sales during the six months ended June 30, 2019. In addition, cost of sales and gross margins are affected by product mix as well as the mix in the level of sales between commissioned agents and distributors.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll, commissions, professional fees, sales and marketing, research and development and other operating expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,224,627 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $418,576 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $806,051 or about 193%. The change is primarily due to non-cash items including stock -based compensation expense of $691,689 and financing fees of $76,931 related to the put option liability recorded for software services. Excluding the non-cash items, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the six-months ended June 30, 2019 totaled, $456,007, an increase of $37,431 or 9%. This increase relates primarily to certain expenses related to an employee termination.

  

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a net loss of $1,040,387 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $170,609 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in net loss is primarily attributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses as well as a change in fair value of the related party Kiss Liability. Excluding non-cash items including stock-based compensation expense of $691,689, financing fees of $76,931 related to the put option liability recorded for software services and $39,703 for the change in fair value of the related party Kiss Liability, the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $232,064.

 

January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 Compared to January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017

 

Our sales totaled $675,383 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and $857,717 for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company significantly reduced its marketing efforts while it focused its resources on its Regulation A+ offering, which it terminated on August 27, 2018 after selling 724,674 shares at $0.71 per share. The Company is in the process of increasing its marketing process to increase its sales.

 

Cost of sales and gross margins for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $168,716 and 75 % and $197,430 and 77%, respectively. Our cost of sales consists of the cost of goods sold and distribution expenses. Cost of sales and gross margins are affected by product mix as well as the mix in the level of sales between commissioned agents and distributors.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll, commissions, professional fees, sales and marketing, research and development and other operating expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $787,370 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and $1,116,992 for the year ended December 31, 2017, a decrease of $ 329,622 about 30%. The change is primarily the result of decreases in marketing expenses of approximately $198,000, legal and professional fees of $88,000 and sales related costs of $105,000, partially offset by increases in compensation expense of $49,000, consulting expenses of $18,000 and insurance expenses of $18,000. The decrease in marketing expenses is primarily due to the cost associated with the Company’s 2017 promotion whereby customers who made purchases during the promotional period received credits towards either future purchases of product through September 1, 2017 or shares of stock. The Company’s Regulation A+ filing which was effective in January 2018 required additional professional services in the earlier stages of preparation, therefore, resulting in additional legal and professional fees in the year ended December 31, 2017. Sales related costs include commissions and merchant fees and decreased in 2018 in conjunction with the decrease in sales. The increase in compensation expense relates to the value of a warrant issued to one of the Company’s consultants in 2018.

 

Other expense consisted primarily of interest expense and change in fair value of the related party convertible note. The Company had net other expense of $1,669,714 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which includes $86,463 of interest expense and $1,586,805 of expense related to the fair market value adjustment to the Company’s KISS liability-related party. Interest expense increased by approximately $33,000 in 2018 from $53,707 to $86,463. In November 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with a key supplier, whereby the Company exchanged 247,565 shares of restricted common stock at a price of $0.71 per share as payment in full for the outstanding amount due the supplier of $175,771. The amount due the supplier included finance fees of approximately $29,000.

 

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a net loss of $1,950,417 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $510,412 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The company currently has three long-term promissory notes outstanding entered into prior to 2018. As of June 30,2019, the first note has an outstanding balance of $157,000(the “First Note”) and the second note has an outstanding balance of $44,000 to a related party (the “Second Note”).

The unpaid principal balance and accrued interest is due within ten days of the maturity date on December 31, 2020.

 

In August 2019, the Company’s CEO personally repaid $100,000 to the holder of the $157,000 long-term note payable which was recorded as a reduction of the CEO’s amount due the Company of $126,632 at June 30, 2019.

The promissory note began accruing interest on the interest commencement date of October 1, 2018 at 2% per annum, compounded monthly. The unpaid principal balance and accrued interest is due within ten days of the maturity date on September 30, 2020. At June 30, 2019, $250,000 of the amount due from the Company’s CEO plus unpaid accrued interest has been net against the note payable due the CEO, leaving a receivable of $126,632. The note payable and accrued interest are deemed paid in full as of June 30, 2019.

In May 2018, the Company borrowed $25,000 in conjunction with a convertible promissory note. The note matures in June 2020 and accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The lender has the right at any time to convert the debt into fully paid and non- assessable shares of common stock at a price of $0.71 per share. The proceeds were used for operations. In October 2019, the lender of the $25,000 convertible note -payable converted the principal amount of $25,000 plus unpaid accrued interest into 39,363 shares of restricted common stock.

 

As of June 30, 2019, the Company entered in to various promissory notes totaling $308,000 with a related party. All notes mature in 2020 and 2021. Interest will accrue at 10% from the due date thereon until all principal is paid in full. Proceeds from the loans were used for operations. In July 2018, The Company entered into KISS agreement with this related party for a purchase price of $35,000. The purchase price of the KISS agreement is non-interest bearing, matures twelve months from the issuance date on November 1, 2019 and has been recorded as KISS liability- related party in the current liabilities section of the Company’s balance sheet. The note is currently in default.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, the KISS agreement may be converted into a certain amount of “Conversion Shares” at the earlier of the Company’s “Next Equity Financing” or “Corporate Transaction” as defined in the agreement, or at maturity. The Company has calculated the estimated number of conversion shares to be 8,189,874 at June 30, 2019. The fair market value of the convertible note at June 30, 2019 is $1,661,508. In October 2019, the related party converted 1,000,000 of the conversion shares.

 

In September 2015, the company entered into a credit agreement for a $700,000 term loan with Bank of America, N.A. The monthly payments are currently $4,574 until on September 30, 2025, in which the remaining unpaid principal balance and accrued interest is due. The interest rate is 4.95% per annum for the remaining life of the term loan. The term loan is collateralized by a deed of trust in the company’s property located at 16561 N. 92nd Street, Unit D101, Scottsdale, Arizona. The loan is also personally guaranteed by Matthew Wolfson. The net principal balance outstanding on the term loan at June 30, 2019 was $604,054.

 

In October 2019, the Company received an advance of $47,385 from a third party. The Company is required to make payments of $375 per day until a total of $73,336 is repaid.

 

As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s cash on hand was $0. Since inception, the Company has incurred $4.5 million of accumulated net losses. Excluding $808,323 of non-cash expenses in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred accumulated net losses of $3.7 million. In addition, during the six- month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company used $263,518 in operations and had a working capital deficit of $581,368 excluding customer deposits of $50,149 and kiss liability-related party of $1,661,508. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company expects to obtain funding through additional debt and equity placement offerings until it consistently achieves positive cash flows from operations. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding, it may not be able to meet all of its obligations as they come due for the next twelve months. The continuing viability of the entity and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the entity being successful in its continuing efforts in growing its revenue base and/or accessing additional sources of capital, and/or selling assets.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company received a total of $80,000 from several investors in exchange for 104,506 restricted common shares of the Company at a price of $0.71 per share.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 193,461 restricted common shares in conjunction with an agreement for consulting services at a value of $137,357 or $0.71 per share.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 50,000 restricted common shares in conjunction with a software services agreement at a value of $35,500 or $0.71 per share.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30,2019, the Company’s CEO personally sold 693,750 shares of his restricted common shares to several employees at par value.

 

The restricted shares are being issued in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company intends to use the funds for working capital.

 

In October 2019, the Company’s board of directors and a majority of shareholders eligible to vote, adopted a resolution increasing the number of authorized common shares from Twenty Five Million (25,000,000) to Fifty Million (50,000,000).

The Company does not have any Committees of the Board

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Director Independence

 

We are not listed on a major U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, are not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors. Upon our listing on any national securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system, we will elect such independent directors as is necessary under the rules of any such securities exchange.

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

We currently have one executive officer who is also a Director. Our Board has reviewed the Company’s current Board leadership structure. In light of the Company’s size, nature of the Company’s business, regulatory framework under which the Company operates, stockholder base, the Company’s peer group and other relevant factors, the Company has determined that this structure is currently the most appropriate Board leadership structure for our company. Nevertheless, the Board intends to carefully evaluate from time to time whether our current structure should be modified based on what the Board believes is best for the Company and our stockholders.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

 

Risk is inherent in every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including strategic risks, enterprise risks, financial risks, and regulatory risks. While our management is responsible for day to day management of various risks we face, the Board, as a whole, is responsible for evaluating our exposure to risk and to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. The Board reviews and discusses policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Board also has oversight responsibility with respect to the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process and systems of internal control regarding finance and accounting, as well as its financial statements.

 

Audit Committee

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Audit Committee. The full Board performs the principal functions of the Audit Committee. The full Board monitors our financial reporting process and internal control system and reviews and appraises the audit efforts of our independent accountants.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Compensation Committee. The full Board establishes our overall compensation policies and reviews recommendations submitted by our management.

 

Nominating Committee

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Nominating Committee. We do not maintain a policy for considering nominees. Our Bylaws provides that the number of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board, but in no event shall be less than the minimum required by law. The Board of Directors shall be large enough to maintain our required expertise but not too large to function efficiently. Director nominees are recommended, reviewed and approved by the entire Board. The Board believes that this process is appropriate due to the relatively small number of directors on the Board and the opportunity to benefit from a variety of opinions and perspectives in determining director nominees by involving the full Board.

 

While the Board is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of directors, the Board may consider nominees recommended by stockholders as it deems appropriate. The Board evaluates each potential nominee in the same manner regardless of the source of the potential nominee’s recommendation. Although we do not have a policy regarding diversity, the Board does take into consideration the value of diversity among Board members in background, experience, education and perspective in considering potential nominees for recommendation to the Board for selection. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to our President, Matthew Wolfson, 16561 North 92nd Street, Suite 101, Scottsdale, AZ 85260, that includes all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of directors. The recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected.

 

Compensation Consultants

 

We have not historically relied upon the advice of compensation consultants in determining Named Executive Officer compensation. Instead, the full Board reviews compensation levels and makes adjustments based on their personal knowledge of competition in the market place, publicly available information and informal surveys of human resource professionals.

 

Stockholder Communications

 

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board may do so by addressing their correspondence to the Board at Electromedical Technologies, Inc., Attention: Mathew Wolfson, 16561 North 92nd Street, Suite 101, Scottsdale, AZ 85260. The Board shall review and respond to all correspondence received, as appropriate.

There are no independent directors at this time.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our Company’s directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten-percent (10%) of our Company’s shares of Common Stock, to file with the SEC reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership on Forms 4 and 5. Such officers, directors and ten-percent shareholders are also required to furnish our Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. As of June 14, 2019, we believed such reports were timely filed.

Item 5. Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions

 

As of June 30, 2019, the Company entered in to various promissory notes totaling $308,000 with a related party. All notes mature in 2020 and 2021. Interest will accrue at 10% from the due date thereon until all principal is paid in full. Proceeds from the loans were used for operations.

 

In July 2018, The Company entered into KISS agreement with this related party for a purchase price of $35,000. The purchase price of the KISS agreement is non-interest bearing, matures twelve months from the issuance date on November 1, 2019 and has been recorded as KISS liability- related party in the current liabilities section of the Company’s balance sheet.. Under the terms of the agreement, the KISS agreement may be converted into a certain amount of “Conversion Shares” at the earlier of the Company’s “Next Equity Financing” or “Corporate Transaction” as defined in the agreement, or at maturity. The Company has calculated the estimated number of conversion shares to be 8,189,874 at June 30, 2019. The fair market value of the convertible note at June 30, 2019 is $1,661,508. In October 2019, the related party converted 1,000,000 of the conversion shares in conjunction with the outstanding kiss liability. The liability is currently in default.

The promissory note began accruing interest on the interest commencement date of October 1, 2018 at 2% per annum, compounded monthly. The unpaid principal balance and accrued interest are due within ten days of the maturity date on September 30, 2020. Included in the accompanying balance sheets is $380,407 and $261,304 due from the Company’s CEO as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $250,000 of the promissory note and unpaid accrued interest, have been offset against the amount due from the Company’s CEO, leaving a receivable of $126,632 and $11,304, respectively. In August 2019, the Company’s CEO personally paid $100,000 to the holder of a Company note payable, further reducing the amount due from the Company’s CEO.

 

In October 2013, the Company entered in to a $45,000 note payable with an individual related to the Company's CEO. The proceeds were used for operations. Interest began accruing on the interest commencement date of January 1, 2018, at 2% per annum, compounded monthly. The unpaid principal balance and accrued interest is due within ten days of the maturity date on December 31, 2020. The outstanding principal balance on the related party note payable at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $44,000.

 

In October 2019, the related party lender of the $44,000 note-payable, converted the principal amount of $44,000 plus unpaid accrued interest into 64,215 shares of restricted common stock.

COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and that none of our directors will be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

  ·  for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders;

 

  ·  for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

 

  ·  under Delaware General Corporation Law for the unlawful payment of dividends; or

 

  ·  for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

 

These provisions require us to indemnify our directors and officers unless restricted by Delaware law and eliminate our rights and those of our shareholders to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our ability or that of our shareholders to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of his or her fiduciary duty.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Electromedical Technologies, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Electromedical Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows, for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a negative working capital balance, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ELECTROMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Electro Medical Technologies, LLC (“the Company”), was formed in November 2010 as an Arizona limited liability company. In August 2017, the Company converted to a Delaware C Corporation under Electromedical Technologies, Inc. The Company is a bioelectronic engineering company with medical device certifications in the United States (FDA) and Mexico (Cofepris). The Company engineers simple-to-use portable bioelectronics devices, which provide fast and long -lasting pain relief across a broad range of ailments.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Accounting Method 

 

The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual method in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, certain disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information. However, actual results from the resolution of such estimates and assumptions may vary from those used in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Going Concern

 

Since inception, the Company has incurred approximately $3.5 million of accumulated net losses, which includes approximately $1.6 million related to the adjustment to fair market value of the Company’s related party KISS liability. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company used $521,014, in operations and had a working capital deficit of $193,689 excluding customer deposits of $112,300 and the related party KISS liability of $1,621,805. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company expects to obtain funding through additional debt and equity placement offerings until it consistently achieves positive cash flows from operations. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding, it may not be able to meet all of its obligations as they come due for the next twelve months. The continuing viability of the entity and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the entity being successful in its continuing efforts in growing its revenue base and/or accessing additional sources of capital, and/or selling assets.

 

As a result, there is significant uncertainty whether the entity will continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

 

Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the financial statements relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern. At this time, management is of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realized for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the financial statements as at December 31, 2018. (See Note 9).

 

  50  

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

As required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company also has a policy which requires it to meet certain criteria in order to recognize revenue, including satisfaction of the following requirements: 

 

a)    Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;

b)   The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;

c)    Collectability is reasonably assured; and

d)   The Company has no significant obligations for future performance.

 

Revenue and related costs are generally recorded when products are shipped and invoiced to either independently owned and operated distributors or to end-customers.

 

Certain larger customers pay in advance for future shipments. These advance payments totaled $112,300 and $273,939 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are recorded as customer deposits in the accompanying balance sheets. Revenue related to these advance payments is recognized upon shipment to the distributor or the end-customer.

 

At the completion of the initial three-year warranty, the Company sells extended warranties for periods ranging from one to three years. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Deferred revenue of $16,651 and $11,781 is recorded in connection with these extended warranties as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, and the Company generally does not require collateral. As a general policy, the Company determines an allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,000 as of both December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk

 

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is often required to interpret market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

  51  

 

 

Disclosure of Fair Value

 

The disclosure requirements within Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, require disclosure of estimated fair values of certain financial instruments. For financial instruments recognized at fair value in the Company’s statements of operations, the disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820-10 also apply. The methods and assumptions are set forth below:

 

  · Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

 

  · The carrying amounts of receivables approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

 

  · The carrying amount of payables approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

 

  · KISS liability-related party is adjusted to fair value based on the value of the Company as a whole using the discounted cash flow method.

 

Asset and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories based on inputs:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date

 

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability

 

Level 3 — Pricing inputs include significant unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of investments. The types of investments, which would generally be included in this category include equity securities issued by private entities.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given investment is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.

  

The levels of the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s investments fall as of December 31, 2018, are as follows:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Liabilities                                
                                 
KISS liability- related party   $ -     $ -     $ 1,621,805     $ 1,621,805  
                                 
Total fair value   $ -     $ -     $ 1,621,805     $ 1,621,805  

 

See Note 6 for discussion of the Company’s valuation of the KISS liability- related party.

 

The Company maintains cash balances that can, at times, exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

 

The Company’s accounts receivable, which are unsecured, expose the Company to credit risks such as collectability and business risks such as customer concentrations. The Company mitigates credit risk by investigating the creditworthiness of all customers prior to establishing relationships with them, performing periodic review of the credit activities of those customers during the course of the business relationship, regularly analyzing the collectability of accounts receivables, and recording allowances for doubtful accounts when these receivables become uncollectible. The Company mitigates business risks by attempting to diversify its customer base.

 

  52  

 

 

The Company had one significant customer for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 that in total accounted for approximately 24% and 18%, respectively, of net sales. There were no amounts outstanding from this customer as of both December 31, 2018 and 2017. Customer deposits on hand from this customer totaled approximately $112,000 and $274,000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The loss of this customer would have a significant impact on the operations and cash flows of the Company.

 

The Company’s supplier concentrations expose the Company to business risks which the Company mitigates by attempting to diversify its supply chain. Supplier concentrations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 consisted of one significant supplier that accounted for approximately 60% and 39%, respectively, of total net purchases. This supplier accounted for approximately 35% of the Company’s total accounts payable as of December 31, 2017. In November 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with this supplier, whereby the Company exchanged 247,565 shares of common stock as payment in full for the outstanding amount due the supplier of $175,771. The loss of key vendors may have a significant impact on the operations and cash flows of the Company.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined based on the first-in, first-out cost flow assumption (“FIFO”) while market is determined based upon the estimated net realizable value less an allowance for selling and distribution expenses and a normal gross profit. The Company evaluates the need for inventory reserves associated with obsolete, slow moving, and non-sellable inventory by reviewing estimated net realizable values on a periodic basis. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company believes there are no excess and obsolete inventories and accordingly, did not record an inventory reserve. Inventories consist of purchased finished goods. As of December 31, 2017, recorded within prepaids and other current assets on the accompanying balance sheet is $15,186 in credits to which the Company expected to receive credit form their primary manufacturer. There were no credits due from the supplier at December 31, 2018.

  

Deferred Offering Costs

 

Included in Other Current Assets at December 31, 2017 are deferred offering costs totaling $188,424. The Company accounts for offering costs in accordance with FASB ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying balance sheet. The Company’s filing became effective in January 2018 at which time deferred offering costs totaling $194,146 were reclassified to stockholders’ deficit in the accompanying balance sheet (see Note 9).

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is comprised of a building and office furniture and equipment. The building is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 40 years. Office furniture and equipment is depreciated using the double-declining method or the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3 to 7 years.

 

Betterments, renewals, and extraordinary repairs that materially extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss on disposition, if any, is recognized in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, long-lived assets such as property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized on long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of the assets. In such cases, the carrying value of these assets are adjusted to their estimated fair values and assets held for sale are adjusted to their estimated fair values less selling expenses.

 

No impairment losses of long-lived assets were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Income Taxes

 

The Company, which was formed as an Limited liability Company in Arizona, previously filed an Entity Classification Election, commonly known as a check-the-box-election, to be classified as a corporation for tax purposes. The Company also made an election to be treated for income tax purposes as an S corporation. Under U.S. and Arizona law, the taxable income or loss of an S corporation is included in the shareholder’s income tax returns. In August 2017, the Company converted to a Delaware Corporation. The conversion was tax-free under Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a)(1)(F) and is referred to as an F-reorganization, which is typically defined as a mere change in identity, form or place of organization. Management elected to terminated the S corporation election effective January 1, 2018 and the Company will operate for tax purposes as a C corporation from that date forward.

 

The Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10-65-1, Income Taxes. The Company has no such tax positions as of both December 31, 2018 and 2017, for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three years and by state and local income tax authorities for returns filed for the prior four years. There are no examinations currently pending.

 

The Company’s tax provision for 2018 related to deferred tax charges consisting of a minor amount of accruals for which the Company will receive the benefit from when paid and the net operating loss incurred during 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company evaluated its deferred tax assets of $199,188 and determined a full valuation allowance was appropriate.

 

At December 31, 2018, the Company’s net operating loss carry forward was $800,884 which originated in 2018. NOLs originating in 2018 can be carried forward indefinitely.  The difference between the statutory rate of 21% and the effective tax rate is due to permanent differences and a full valuation allowance

 

Sales Taxes

 

FASB ASC Subtopic 605-45, Revenue Recognition – Principal Agent Considerations, provides that the presentation of taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions (e.g. sales, use, and excise taxes) between a seller and a customer on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs) or on a net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, the amounts of those taxes should be disclosed in the financial statements for each period for which a statement of operations is presented if those amounts are significant. Sales taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were recorded on a net basis. Included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2018 and 2017 is approximately $51,000 and $44,000, respectively, related to sales taxes.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

The Company included shipping and handling costs in cost of sales on the accompanying statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

   

Warranty

 

The Company warranties the sale of most of its products and records an accrual for estimated future claims. The standard warranty is typically for a period of three years. Such accruals are based upon historical experience and management's estimate of the level of future claims. The Company recorded a liability as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 of $13,067 and $14,231, respectively and is included in cost of sales in the statements of operations and within accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

  54  

 

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses amounted to $15,181 and $7,952 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs amounted to $0 and $4,000 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share.  Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each year.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for capital and operating leases existing at the date of adoption, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this new accounting guidance, which is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020 . The impact is not expected to be significant.

  

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance, including ASC 605-35. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single set of comprehensive principles for recognizing revenue under US GAAP. Among other things, it requires companies to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time. These concepts, as well as other aspects of ASU 2014-09, may change the method and/or timing of revenue recognition for some of the Company’s contracts. ASU 2014-09 may be applied either retrospectively or through the use of a modified-retrospective method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendments of ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2104-09 for all entities by one year. Private companies should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating methods of adoption as well as the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and does not expect it to be significant.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

NOTE 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of December 31:

Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization     (104,436 )     (82,097 )
    $ 795,551     $ 817,890  

 

Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment was $22,339 and $22,583 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations.

NOTE 4. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

 

In November 2010, the Company obtained a revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) with a financial institution that expired in November 2017 at which time all outstanding interest and principal became due. The Revolver was collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets; was personally guaranteed by the Company’s member and did not contain any financial covenants. The interest rate is based on the prime rate plus 4%, or 8.5% as of December 31, 2017. Interest on the Revolver is payable monthly in arrears in an amount equal to the actual accrued interest or $100, whichever is greater. The outstanding balance on the Revolver was $87,747 as of December 31, 2017. In November 2018, the revolver and all accrued interest were paid in full and the revolver was cancelled.

 

NOTE 5. NOTE PAYABLE

 

In May 2018, the Company entered into a note payable with a third- party vendor as payment for an outstanding balance in the amount of $43,692. At December 31, 2017, the amount is recorded as accounts payable on the accompanying balance sheet. The note is interest free and requires monthly payments of $5,461 beginning June 15, 2018 with the remaining balance due and payable on December 15, 2018. The Company did not make timely payments as of December 15, 2018 which resulted in interest being accrued on the unpaid balance at a rate of ten percent beginning July 31, 3017. The note payable balance as of December 31, 2018 is $27,307. Interest expense of $4,138 has been accrued in the Company’s statement of operations as of December 31, 2018.

 

NOTE 6. KISS LIABILITY- RELATED PARTY

 

In July 2018, The Company entered into KISS agreement with a related party for a purchase price of $35,000. The purchase price of the KISS agreement is non-interest bearing, matures twelve months from the issuance date in July 2019 and has been recorded as KISS liability- related party in the current liabilities section of the Company’s balance sheet.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, the KISS agreement may be converted into a certain amount of “Conversion Shares” at the earlier of the Company’s “Next Equity Financing” or “Corporate Transaction” as defined in the agreement, or at maturity. The Company has calculated the estimated number of conversion shares to be 8,042,246 at December 31, 2018. The fair market value of the convertible note at December 31, 2018 is $1,621,805, with the excess in value over the proceeds received of $1,586,805 recorded as excess fair value of KISS liability in the Company’s statement of operations in 2018.

 

The Company determined the fair value of the KISS liability using the estimated enterprise value of the Company, allocating the percentage of fully diluted pro-rata shares to the value of the KISS liability. The Company will mark to market the liability at each reporting period.

Note Payable

 

In March 2015, the Company entered into an $850,000 note payable (the “Original Note Payable”) with a third-party to finance the purchase of its office building (see note 8).

  56  

 

 

Bank Debt

 

In September 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement for a $700,000 term loan with a financial institution. Payment terms consist of monthly payments in arrears of $3,547 for the first year outstanding. The monthly payment then increases to $4,574 until the term loan matures on September 30, 2025, in which the remaining unpaid principal balance and accrued interest is due.

In 2018, $250,000 of the amount due from the Company’s CEO has been net against the note payable due the CEO, leaving a receivable of $11,304. In 2017, the total amount due from the Company’s CEO has been net against the note payable due the CEO for a total net due of $89,645.

 

In 2018, the Company entered in to promissory notes totaling $105,000 with a related party. All notes mature at various times in 2020. Interest will accrue at 10% per annum from the due date thereon until all principal is paid in full. Proceeds from the loans were used for operations.

NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

In August 2017, the Company converted to a Delaware C Corporation. In conjunction with the conversion, the Company authorized 25 million shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 of which 15 million shares were issued to the Company’s sole member. The sole member’s percentage in the converted entity remained equal to the sole member’s interest in the LLC.

 

In February and March 2017, the Company executed a promotion whereby distributors who made purchases during the promotional period would receive credits towards either future purchases of product through September 1, 2017 or shares of stock. Credits totaling $173,955 were earned by such distributors of which $ 1,010 had been applied against purchases of product. The remaining credit of $172,945 would be satisfied in shares of the Company’s common stock. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, an accrual for $170,930 of the amount of the net credits has been recorded as marketing expense in the statement of operations as well as within accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet. The Company recorded the amount as marketing expense as the promotion was provided directly to distributors rather than to end users. In 2018, the Company issued 243,584 common shares to 25 unaffiliated shareholders earned in the 2017 promotional program.

 

The Company’s Reg A+ filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission became effective in January 2018. The offering consisted of 7,042,254 shares of common stock at a price of $0.71 per share. The Company’s Reg A+ offering was closed on August 27, 2018. Pursuant to that offering, the Company sold and issued a total of 724,674 common shares to 46 shareholders with net proceeds of $441,662 which includes costs totaling $72,856. The Company incurred additional costs totaling $194,146, which have been recorded as a reduction in stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2018 (see Note 2).

 

In October and November 2018, the Company received a total of $105,000 from two investors in exchange for 105,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $1.00 per share.

The Company also entered into a development stock issuance agreement with the supplier under which the Company will compensate the supplier for future development services not to exceed $100,000 with shares of the Company’s stock at a per share price of $0.71. If at the time of delivery of a working prototype, the value of the 247,565 shares are worth less than the amount originally owed plus the amount owed under the development agreement, then additional shares will be issued to make the supplier whole at the then current stock price. (see Note 2).

 

In December 2018, the Company issued a warrant to a third party to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.71 per share. The warrant is fully vested upon issuance and expires December 1, 2023. Compensation expense of $48,905 has been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company utilizes the Black Scholes valuation model which relies on certain assumptions to estimate the warrant’s fair value. The assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of the warrant awarded in 2018, are provided in the table below.

 

Assumptions      
Expected volatility rate     88 %
Expected dividend yield     0 %
Average risk-free interest rate     2.51 %
Expected term years     5.0  

 

NOTE 10. EQUITY COMPENSATION

 

In 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2017 Employee and Consultant Stock Ownership Plan, (the “Plan”).

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to various loss contingencies and assessments arising in the normal course of the business, some of which relate to litigation, claims, property taxes and sales and use tax or goods and services tax assessments. The Company considers the likelihood of the loss or the incurrence of a liability, as well as its ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies and assessments. An estimated loss contingency or assessment is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management regularly evaluates current information available to them to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted. Based on the information presently available, including discussion with counsel and other consultants, management believes that resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company is obligated under certain non-cancellable operating leases for its corporate vehicles, which expired on various dates through February 2018. Total rental expense amounted to $5,123 and $10,679 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

 

NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through the independent auditor’s report date, which is the date that the financial statements were available to be issued and determined that there were no subsequent events or transactions that required recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, except as disclosed below.

 

The Company entered into additional promissory notes with a related party totaling $117,000. All notes mature in two years in 2021. Interest will accrue at 10% from the due date thereon until all principal is paid in full. Total amount due the related party is $222,000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

ElectroMedical Technologies, LLC (“the Company”), was formed in November 2010 as an Arizona limited liability company. In August 2017, the Company converted to a Delaware C Corporation under Electromedical Technologies, Inc. The Company is a bioelectronic engineering company with medical device certifications in the United States (FDA) and Mexico (Cofepris). The Company engineers simple-to-use portable bioelectronics devices, which provide fast and long-lasting pain relief across a broad range of ailments.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Accounting Method

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Electromedical Technologies, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X per Regulation A requirements. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, certain disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information. However, actual results from the resolution of such estimates and assumptions may vary from those used in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Going Concern

 

Since inception, the Company has incurred $4.5 million of accumulated net losses. Excluding $808,323 of non-cash expenses in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred accumulated net losses of $3.7 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company used $263,518 in operations and had a working capital deficit of $380,368 excluding customer deposits of $50,149 and kiss liability-related party of $1,661,508. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company expects to obtain funding through additional debt and equity placement offerings until it consistently achieves positive cash flows from operations. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding, it may not be able to meet all of its obligations as they come due for the next twelve months. The continuing viability of the entity and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the entity being successful in its continuing efforts in growing its revenue base and/or accessing additional sources of capital, and/or selling assets.

 

As a result, there is significant uncertainty whether the entity will continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

 

Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the financial statements relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern. At this time, management is of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realized for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the financial statements as at June 30, 2019.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, codified as ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using modified retrospective basis and the cumulative effect was immaterial to the financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped and title, risk of loss and rewards of ownership have been transferred. For most of the Company's product sales, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped and invoiced to either independently owned and operated distributors or to end-customers.

 

Certain larger customers pay in advance for future shipments. These advance payments totaled $50,149 and $112,300 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and are recorded as customer deposits in the accompanying balance sheets. Revenue related to these advance payments is recognized upon shipment to the distributor or the end-customer.

 

At the completion of the initial three-year warranty, the Company sells extended warranties for periods ranging from one to three years. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. As of June 30, 2019, deferred revenue of $22,618 is recorded in connection with these extended warranties.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, and the Company generally does not require collateral. As a general policy, the Company determines an allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,000 as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk

 

The Company elected early adoption of the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities, which eliminates the requirement of the Company to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments as of the balance sheet date. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of business and credit risks consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.

 

The Company maintains cash balances that can, at times, exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

 

The Company’s accounts receivable, which are unsecured, expose the Company to credit risks such as collectability and business risks such as customer concentrations. The Company mitigates credit risk by investigating the creditworthiness of all customers prior to establishing relationships with them, performing periodic review of the credit activities of those customers during the course of the business relationship, regularly analyzing the collectability of accounts receivables, and recording allowances for doubtful accounts when these receivables become uncollectible. The Company mitigates business risks by attempting to diversify its customer base.

 

The Company had one significant customer for the six- month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 that in total accounted for approximately 19% and 20%, respectively, of net sales. There were no amounts outstanding from this customer as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Customer deposits on hand from this customer totaled $50,149 and $112,300 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The loss of this customer would have a significant impact on the operations and cash flows of the Company.

 

The Company’s supplier concentrations expose the Company to business risks which the Company mitigates by attempting to diversify its supply chain. Supplier concentrations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 consisted of one significant supplier in China that accounted for approximately 90% and 92%, respectively of total net purchases. There were no amounts outstanding due this supplier at June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. The loss of key vendors may have a significant impact on the operations and cash flows of the Company.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined based on the first-in, first-out cost flow assumption (“FIFO”) while market is determined based upon the estimated net realizable value less an allowance for selling and distribution expenses and a normal gross profit. The Company evaluates the need for inventory reserves associated with obsolete, slow moving, and non-sellable inventory by reviewing estimated net realizable values on a periodic basis. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company believes there are no excess and obsolete inventories and accordingly, did not record an inventory reserve. Inventories consist of purchased finished goods.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is comprised of a building and office furniture and equipment. The building is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 40 years. Office furniture and equipment is depreciated using the double-declining method or the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3 to 7 years.

 

Betterments, renewals, and extraordinary repairs that materially extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss on disposition, if any, is recognized in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

ELECTROMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Notes to interim Financial Statements

(UNAUDITED)

 

Deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2019 consist of a minor amount of accruals for which the Company will receive the benefit from when paid. The amount is insignificant to the financial statements as of June 30, 2019, for which a full valuation allowance would have been present.

 

Sales Taxes

 

Sales taxes for the six- month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were recorded on a net basis. Included in accrued expenses at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is approximately $56,000 and $51,000 respectively, related to sales taxes.

 

Warranty

 

The Company warranties the sale of most of its products and records an accrual for estimated future claims. The standard warranty is typically for a period of three years. Such accruals are based upon historical experience and management's estimate of the level of future claims. The Company recorded a liability as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 of $19,688 and $13,067, respectively and is included in cost of sales in the statement of operations and within accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses amounted to $0 and $14,681 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs amounted to $21,081 and $0 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share.  Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each six-month period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for capital and operating leases existing at the date of adoption, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this new accounting guidance, which is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

NOTE 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of:

 

    June 30,
2019
    December 31, 2018  
Building   $ 875,000     $ 875,000  
Furniture and equipment     24,987       24,987  
      899,987       899,987  
Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization     (117,955 )     (104,435 )
    $ 782,032     $ 795,551  

 

Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment was $13,519 and $10,937 for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations.

 

NOTE 4. NOTES PAYABLE

 

In May 2018, the Company entered into a note payable with a third- party vendor as payment for an outstanding balance in the amount of $43,692. The note is interest free and requires monthly payments of $5,461.50 beginning June 15, 2018 with the remaining balance due and payable on December 15, 2018. Failure to make timely payments as of December 15, 2018 resulted in interest to be accrued on the unpaid balance at a rate of ten percent beginning July 31, 3017. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is $19,846 and $27,307, respectively. Interest expense of $5,657 has been accrued in the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2019, of which $1,520 has been recorded in the Company’s statement of operations for the six- month period then ended. No interest expense has been recorded for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.

 

Convertible Promissory Note

 

In May 2018, the Company borrowed $25,000 in conjunction with a convertible promissory note. The note matures in June 2020 and accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The lender has the right at any time to convert the debt into fully paid and non- assessable shares of common stock at a price of $0.71 per share. In October 2019, the lender converted the note and unpaid accrued interest into 39,363 shares of restricted common stock. The proceeds were used for operations (See Note 11).

 

NOTE 5. PUT OPTION LIABILITY

  

On January 24, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party to exchange stock for software services. In exchange for these services, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock to the service provider. At the time of the transaction, the shares were valued at $0.71 per share. The Company also added a guarantee that these shares would be worth $3.00 per share one year from the date of the agreement. If the share price does not equal this amount on the settlement date of January 24, 2020, the Company is obligated to issue more shares to equal the obligation.

 

To value this liability, the Company used an option pricing model to derive a value $112,631 and booked this liability on the balance sheet. The Black-Scholes valuation model was utilized to estimate the fair value of the time-based options. The weighted average assumptions utilized in the valuation of the time-based option awards granted during the period ended June 30, 2019 are summarized as follows:

 

(1) Expected volatility is based on the historical volatilities of comparable public companies.

(2) Risk-free interest rate is based on the yields from US State Treasury zero-coupon issues for a term consistent with the expected life of the awards in effect at the date of grant.

(3) Expected life of the option

(4) The Company currently has no expectation of paying cash dividends on its common stock.

 

The Company will review and revalue this each reporting period until the settlement date.

 

NOTE 6. KISS LIABILITY- RELATED PARTY

 

In November 2018, The Company entered into KISS agreement with a related party for a purchase price of $35,000. The purchase price of the KISS agreement is non-interest bearing, matures in November 2019 and has been recorded as KISS liability- related party in the current liabilities section of the Company’s balance sheet. The liability is currently in default.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, the KISS agreement may be converted into a certain amount of “Conversion Shares” at the earlier of the Company’s “Next Equity Financing” or “Corporate Transaction” as defined in the agreement, or at maturity. The Company has calculated the estimated number of conversion shares to be 8,189,874 at June 30, 2019. The fair market value of the convertible note at June 30, 2019 is $1,661,508.. The increase in fair market value for the six -month period ended June 30, 2019 totaled $39,703 and has been included in the Company’s statement of operations. In October 2019, the related party converted 1,000,000 of the conversion shares (See Note 11).

  

  67  

 

 

The Company determined the fair value of the KISS liability using the estimated enterprise value of the Company, allocating the percentage of fully diluted pro-rata shares to the value of the KISS liability. The Company will mark to market the liability at each reporting period.

 

NOTE 7. LONG-TERM DEBT

 

Note Payable

 

In March 2015, the Company entered into an $850,000 note payable (the “Original Note Payable”) with a third-party to finance the purchase of its office building (see note 8). The Original Note Payable consisted of interest-only payments at 4.5% per annum, payable monthly in arrears. The Original Note Payable was collateralized by a deed of trust in the office building. During 2015, the Company refinanced the Original Note Payable with bank debt and a new note payable (“Note Payable”) for the unpaid principal balance.

 

The Note Payable, effective December 31, 2015, was issued for a principal amount of $157,000. Interest began accruing on the interest commencement date of January 1, 2018, at 2% per annum, compounded monthly. The unpaid principal balance and accrued interest is due within ten days of the maturity date on December 31, 2020. The outstanding balance on the Note Payable at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $157,000. The Note Payable is personally guaranteed by the Company’s CEO. In August 2019, the Company’s CEO personally repaid $100,000 of the note payable to the third-party and was recorded as a reduction of the CEO’s amount due the Company of $126,632 at June 30, 2019. In October 2019, the lender converted the remaining balance of $57,000 and unpaid accrued interest into 87,849 shares of restricted common stock (See Note 11).

 

Bank Debt

 

In September 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement for a $700,000 term loan with a financial institution. Payment terms consist of monthly payments in arrears of $3,547 for the first year outstanding. The monthly payment then increases to $4,574 until the term loan matures on September 30, 2025, in which the remaining unpaid principal balance and accrued interest is due. The interest rate for the first year was 1.99% per annum and increased to 4.95% per annum for the remaining life of the term loan. The term loan is collateralized by a deed of trust in the office building. The proceeds were used to purchase a building for which the Company's operations are located. The net principal balance outstanding on the term loan at June 30,2019 and December 31, 2018 was $604,054 and $616,075, respectively. The term loan is personally guaranteed by the Company’s CEO.

 

Related Party Notes Payable

NOTE 10. EQUITY COMPENSATION

 

In 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2017 Employee and Consultant Stock Ownership Plan, (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that the Board of Directors may grant restricted stock units, incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options to officers, key employees and certain consultants and advisors to the Company up to a maximum of 2,500,000 shares. Stock options granted under the Plan have ten-year terms with vesting terms to be determined by the administrator of the Plan. Restricted stock unit grant terms will be set by the administrator and at the discretion of the administrator, be settled in cash, shares, or a combination of both.

 

The Black-Scholes valuation model was utilized to estimate the fair value of the time-based options. The weighted average assumptions utilized in the valuation of the time-based option awards granted during the period ended June 30, 2019 are summarized as follows:

 

(1) Expected volatility is based on the historical volatilities of comparable public companies.

(2) Risk-free interest rate is based on the yields from US State Treasury zero-coupon issues for a term consistent with the expected life of the awards in effect at the date of grant.

(3) Expected life of the option

(4) The Company currently has no expectation of paying cash dividends on its common stock.

 

The Company recorded pretax stock compensation expense of $61,769 during the period ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Stock-based compensation is included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying statements of operations.  Stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest; therefore, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.  Total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested time-based stock options was $93,390 as of June 30, 2019 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 10 months.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to various loss contingencies and assessments arising in the normal course of the business, some of which relate to litigation, claims, property taxes and sales and use tax or goods and services tax assessments. The Company considers the likelihood of the loss or the incurrence of a liability, as well as its ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies and assessments. An estimated loss contingency or assessment is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management regularly evaluates current information available to them to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted. Based on the information presently available, including discussion with counsel and other consultants, management believes that resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and that none of our directors will be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

  · for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders;

 

  · for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

 

  · under Delaware General Corporation Law for the unlawful payment of dividends; or

 

  · for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

 

These provisions require us to indemnify our directors and officers unless restricted by Delaware law and eliminate our rights and those of our shareholders to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our ability or that of our shareholders to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of his or her fiduciary duty.

 

To the extent that our directors and officers are indemnified under the provisions contained in our bylaws, Delaware law or contractual arrangements against liabilities arising under the Securities Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

All certificates evidencing the shares sold bore a restrictive legend. The Company took reasonable steps to verify that the investors were accredited investors.

(a) Exhibits.

 

The Registrant has filed the exhibits listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index of this Registration Statement.

 

(b) Financial Statement Schedules.

 

All financial statement schedules are omitted because the information called for is not required or is shown either in the financial statements or in the notes thereto.

 

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1.)        To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i.)         To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii.)       To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii.)       To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2.)       That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

 

(3.)        To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and

 

  74  

 

 

(5.)        That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(6.)       That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i.)        Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii.)       Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii.)      The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv.)      Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  2.1 Place Of Meetings

 

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the state of Delaware, designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the registered office of the corporation.

 

  2.2 Annual Meeting

 

The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on such date, time and place, either within or without the state of Delaware, as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors each year. At the meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be transacted.

 

  2.3 Special Meeting

 

A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the board, the chief executive officer, the president or by one or more stockholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at that meeting.

 

-1-

 

 

If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the board, the chief executive officer or the president, the request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by email, fax, telegraphic or other facsimile or electronic transmission to the chairperson of the board, the chief executive officer, the president or the secretary of the corporation. No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in such notice. The officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Article II, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, not less than 35 nor more than 60 days after the receipt of the request. If the notice is not given within 20 days after the receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice. Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 2.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

All notices of meetings with stockholders shall be in writing and shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 2.5 of these bylaws not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place (if any), date and hour of the meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

 

  2.5 Manner Of Giving Notice; Affidavit Of Notice

 

Written notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic mail or other electronic transmission, in the manner provided in Section 232 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

  2.6 Quorum

 

The holders of a majority of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (a) the chairperson of the meeting or (b) holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting to another place (if any), date or time.

 

-2-

 

 

  2.7 Adjourned Meeting; Notice

 

When a meeting is adjourned to another place (if any), date or time, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place (if any), thereof and the means of remote communications (if any) by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the place (if any), date and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communications (if any) by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

  2.8 Organization; Conduct Of Business

 

Such person as the Board of Directors may have designated or, in the absence of such a person, the chief executive officer, or in his or her absence, the president or, in his or her absence, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders and act as chairperson of the meeting. In the absence of the secretary of the corporation, the secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the chairperson of the meeting appoints.

 

The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including the manner of voting and the conduct of business. The date and time of opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

 

  2.9 Voting

 

The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 of these bylaws, subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock and to voting trusts and other voting agreements).

 

Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder. All elections shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, and except as otherwise required by law, all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively.

 

  2.10 Waiver Of Notice

 

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or waiver by electronic mail or other electronic transmission by such person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice, or any waiver of notice by electronic transmission, unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

  2.11 Stockholder Action By Written Consent Without A Meeting

 

Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is (a) signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and (b) delivered to the corporation in accordance with Section 228(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the date the earliest dated consent is delivered to the corporation, a written consent or consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the corporation in the manner prescribed in this Section. A telegram, cablegram, electronic mail or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for purposes of this Section to the extent permitted by law. Any such consent shall be delivered in accordance with Section 228(d)(1) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

 

Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing (including by electronic mail or other electronic transmission as permitted by law). If the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the Delaware General Corporation Law if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, then the certificate filed under such section shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of stockholders, that written notice and written consent have been given as provided in Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

  2.12 Record Date For Stockholder Notice; Voting; Giving Consents

 

In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action.

 

-4-

 

 

If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:

 

(a)       The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

 

(b)       The record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent (including consent by electronic mail or other electronic transmission as permitted by law) is delivered to the corporation.

 

(c)       The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, if such adjournment is for 30 days or less; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

  2.13 Proxies

 

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by an instrument in writing or by an electronic transmission permitted by law filed with the secretary of the corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, facsimile, electronic or telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder’s attorney-in-fact. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

DIRECTORS

 

  3.1 Powers

 

Subject to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and any limitations in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

 

-5-

 

 

  3.2 Number Of Directors

 

(a)       The total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors (the “Number of Authorized Directors”) shall be fixed or changed in the manner provided in these bylaws, unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the Number of Authorized Directors, in which case the Number of Authorized Directors shall be changed only by amendment of the certificate of incorporation.

 

(b)       Subject to Section 3.4 of these bylaws, the Number of Authorized Directors may be fixed or changed: (i) by a resolution of the Board of Directors or of the stockholders, or (ii) if applicable, by action of the incorporator(s) (which includes any person(s) acting, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, on behalf of any incorporator(s) not available to act) before the election of the initial Board of Directors. No reduction of the Number of Authorized Directors shall have the effect of removing any director before such director’s term of office expires.

 

(c)       If the Number of Authorized Directors is already fixed (whether by the certificate of incorporation, resolution of the Board of Directors or of the stockholders, action of the incorporators(s) before the election of the initial Board of Directors, or otherwise in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law) at the time the adoption of these bylaws is effective (the “Effective Time”), then the Number of Authorized Directors, until changed in accordance with this Section 3.2, is such already fixed Number of Authorized Directors.

 

(d)       If the Number of Authorized Directors is not already fixed at the Effective Time, then: (i) if there are directors in office at the Effective Time, the Number of Authorized Directors, until changed in accordance with this Section 3.2, is the total number of directors in office at the Effective Time, or (ii) if there are no directors in office at the Effective Time, the Number of Authorized Directors, until fixed or changed in accordance with this Section 3.2, is the total number of directors on the Board of Directors as first constituted following the Effective Time (whether such directors are elected by resolution of the stockholders, action of the incorporators(s) before the election of the initial Board of Directors, or otherwise in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law).

 

  3.3 Election, Qualification And Term Of Office Of Directors

 

Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these bylaws, and unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, wherein other qualifications for directors may be prescribed. Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.

Unless otherwise specified in the certificate of incorporation, elections of directors need not be by written ballot.

 

  3.4 Resignation And Vacancies

 

Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the attention of the Secretary of the corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 223(a)(1) and 223(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, any vacancy or newly created directorship may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office (including any directors that have tendered a resignation effective at a future date), though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced; provided, however, that where such vacancy or newly created directorship occurs among the directors elected by the holders of a class or series of stock, the holders of shares of such class or series may override the Board of Directors’ action to fill such vacancy or newly created directorship by (i) voting for their own designee to fill such vacancy or newly created directorship at a meeting of the corporation’s stockholders or (ii) written consent, if the consenting stockholders hold a sufficient number of shares to elect their designee at a meeting of the stockholders.

 

If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, or may apply to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as provided in Section 211 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), then the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least 10% of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the Delaware General Corporation Law as far as applicable.

 

  3.5 Place Of Meetings; Meetings By Telephone

 

The Board of Directors of the corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the state of Delaware.

 

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the board.

Special meetings of the Board of Directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chairperson of the board, the chief executive officer, the president, the secretary or any two directors.

 

Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered personally or by telephone to each director or sent by first-class mail, facsimile, electronic transmission, or telegram, charges prepaid, addressed to each director at that director’s address as it is shown on the records of the corporation. If the notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least 4 days before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is delivered personally or by facsimile, electronic transmission, telephone or telegram, it shall be delivered at least 24 hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated either to the director or to a person at the office of the director who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the director. The notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting, if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the corporation. Unless otherwise indicated in the notice thereof, any and all business may be transacted at a special meeting.

 

  3.8 Quorum

 

At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the total number of directors then in office (but in no case less than 1/3 of the Number of Authorized Directors (as defined in Section 3.2 of these bylaws)) shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

 

A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

 

  3.9 Waiver Of Notice

 

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or waiver by electronic mail or other electronic transmission by such person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the directors, or members of a committee of directors, need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

  3.10 Board Action By Written Consent Without A Meeting

 

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

 

Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

 

  3.11 Fees And Compensation Of Directors

 

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. No such compensation shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

The corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.

 

  3.13 Removal Of Directors

 

Unless otherwise restricted by statute, by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the holders of that class or series of stock represented at the meeting or pursuant to written consent; provided, however, that if the stockholders of the corporation are entitled to cumulative voting, if less than the entire Board of Directors is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors.

-14-

 

 

  6.2 Indemnification Of Others

 

The corporation shall have the power, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, to indemnify each of its employees and agents (other than directors and officers) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation. For purposes of this Section 6.2, an “employee” or “agent” of the corporation (other than a director or officer) includes any person (a) who is or was an employee or agent of the corporation, (b) who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (c) who was an employee or agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

  

  6.3 Payment Of Expenses In Advance

 

Expenses incurred in defending any action or proceeding for which indemnification is required pursuant to Section 6.1 or for which indemnification is permitted pursuant to Section 6.2 following authorization thereof by the Board of Directors shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article VI.

 

  6.4 Indemnity Not Exclusive

 

The indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, to the extent that such additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the certificate of incorporation.

 

  6.5 Insurance

 

The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

  6.6 Conflicts

 

No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Article VI, except where such indemnification or advance is mandated by law or the order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, in any circumstance where it appears:

 

(a)       That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of the action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

 

(b)       That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records and to make copies or extracts therefrom.

The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business.

 

A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in each such stockholder’s name, shall be open to the examination of any such stockholder for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting in the manner provided by law.

Any director shall have the right to examine the corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to his or her position as a director.

The Court may summarily order the corporation to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock ledger, and the stock list and to make copies or extracts therefrom. The Court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the inspection, or award such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

  8.2 Execution Of Corporate Contracts And Instruments

 

The Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

 

  8.3 Stock Certificates and Notices; Uncertificated Stock; Partly Paid Shares

 

The shares of the corporation may be certificated or uncertificated, as provided under Delaware law, and shall be entered in the books of the corporation and recorded as they are issued. Any or all of the signatures on any certificate may be a facsimile or electronic signature. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile or electronic signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

 

Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock and upon the request of a stockholder, the corporation shall send to the record owner thereof a written notice that shall set forth the name of the corporation, that the corporation is organized under the laws of Delaware, the name of the stockholder, the number and class (and the designation of the series, if any) of the shares, and any restrictions on the transfer or registration of such shares of stock imposed by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, these bylaws, any agreement among stockholders or any agreement between stockholders and the corporation.

 

The corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate (if any) issued to represent any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of the corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

  8.4 Special Designation On Certificates and Notices of Issuance

 

If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock or the notice of issuance to the record owner of uncertificated stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock or the notice of issuance to the record owner of uncertificated stock, or the purchase agreement for such stock a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

  8.7 Dividends

 

The directors of the corporation, subject to any restrictions contained in (a) the Delaware General Corporation Law or (b) the certificate of incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the corporation’s capital stock.

 

-18-

 

 

The directors of the corporation may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve.

  8.8 Fiscal Year

 

The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors and may be changed by the Board of Directors.

Upon receipt by the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of proper transfer instructions from the record holder of uncertificated shares or upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate or, in the case of uncertificated securities and upon request, a notice of issuance of shares, to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate (if any) and record the transaction in its books.

 

  8.10 Stock Transfer Agreements

 

The corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

  8.11 Stockholders Of Record

 

The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person recorded on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner, shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments the person recorded on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

ARTICLE IX

 

AMENDMENTS

 

The Bylaws of the corporation may be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that the corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, confer the power to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws upon the directors.

Exhibit 3.5

 

ELECTROMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

2017 EMPLOYEE AND CONSULTANT STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

 

  1. Purposes of the Plan.

 

The purposes of this Plan are:

 

  (a) to reward, retain and provide additional incentives to the Employees and Directors;

 

  (b) to provide consideration to Consultants for services rendered to the Company, and

 

  (c) to promote the success of the Company’s business. 

 

The Plan permits the grant of Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options.

 

  2. Stock Subject to the Plan.

 

(a) Stock Subject to the Plan.

 

Subject to Section 10 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be subject to Awards under the Plan is 2,500,000 Shares.

 

(b) Lapsed Awards.

 

For purposes of this limitation, the Shares underlying any Awards that are forfeited, canceled, withheld upon exercise of an Option or Restricted Stock Unit or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of further Shares or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise), in each case shall be added back to the Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, Shares may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award. The Shares available for issuance under the Plan may also be authorized but unissued Shares reacquired by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to Section 10, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 2(a), plus, to the extent allowable under Code Section 422 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to this Section 2(b). Beginning on the date that the Company becomes subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, no more than the number Options granted to any one individual in any calendar year period may be limited in accordance with the Code.

 

(c) Share Reserve.

 

The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

 

 

 

 

  3. Administration of the Plan.

 

(a) Plan Administrator.

 

The Plan shall be administered by the Chief Executive Officer as the delegate of the Board or a delegate appointed by the Chief Executive Officer in his absolute discretion.

  

(b) Powers of the Administrator.

 

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:

 

(i) to determine the Fair Market Value;

 

(ii) to select the Consultants to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;

 

(iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

 

(iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;

 

(v) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator will determine;

 

(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

 

(viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including, if required, rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws;

 

(ix) to modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan), including but not limited to the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards; provided, however, that in no case will an Option or Restricted Stock Unit be extended beyond its original maximum term;

 

(x) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations in a manner prescribed in Section 15

 

(xi) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

 

 

 

 

(xii) to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that otherwise would be due to such Participant under an Award; and

 

(xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

 

(c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision.

 

The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards and will be given the maximum deference permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

  4. Eligibility.

 

Nonstatutory Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Consultants and Employees. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

 

  5. Stock Options.

 

(a) Grant of Options.

 

Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Options in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

 

(b) Option Agreement.

 

Each Award of an Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Option, the number of Shares subject to the Option, the exercise restrictions, if any, applicable to the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

 

(c) Limitations.

 

Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. Notwithstanding such designation, however, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 5(c), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, the Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted, and calculation will be performed in accordance with Code Section 422 and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

 

 

 

(d) Term of Option.

 

The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term will be no more than 10 years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be 5 years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

 

(e) Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

 

(i) Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, but will be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. In addition, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(e)(i), Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Code Section 424(a).

 

(ii) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

 

(iii) Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (1) cash; (2) check; (3) promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, (4) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided further that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (5) consideration received by the Company under cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (6) by net exercise, (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, or (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator will consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

 

 

 

 

(f) Exercise of Option.

 

(i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with applicable tax withholding). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 10 of the Plan.

 

Exercising an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 

(ii) Termination of Relationship. If a Participant who is an Employee ceases to be an Employee, other than upon the Participant’s termination as the result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within 30 days of termination or resignation, or such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination or resignation. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination or resignation the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

 

(iii) Disability of Participant. If a Participant who is an Employee ceases to be an Employee as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within 6 months of termination, or such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

 

 

 

 

(iv) Death of Participant. If a Participant who is an Employee dies while he is an Employee or a Consultant who has executed an Award Agreement with the Company dies, the Option may be exercised within 6 months following the Participant’s death, or within such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death, by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to the Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

 

  6. Restricted Stock Units

 

(a) Grant.

 

Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. After the Administrator determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator will advise the Participant in an Award Agreement of the terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.

 

(b) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms.

 

The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or service), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

 

(c) Earning Restricted Stock Units.

 

Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.

 

 

 

 

(d) Form and Timing of Payment.

 

Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.

 

(e) Cancellation.

 

On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company.

 

  7. Compliance With Code Section 409A.

 

Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not result in either gross income inclusion under Code Section 409A(a)(1)(A) or the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B), except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to gross income inclusion or the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A. In no event will the Company have any obligation under the terms of this Plan to reimburse a Participant for any taxes or other costs that may be imposed on Participant as a result of Section 409A.

 

  8. Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations.

 

Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards to Employees granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Participant who is an Employee will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed 3 months, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then 6 months following the first day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

 

 

 

 

  9. Limited Transferability of Awards.

 

(a) Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award may only be transferred (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) as permitted by Rule 701 under the Securities Act.

 

(b) Further, until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or after the Administrator determines that it is, will, or may no longer be relying upon the exemption from registration under the Exchange Act as set forth in Rule 12h-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (the “Rule 12h-1(f) Exemption”), an Option, or prior to exercise, the Shares subject to the Option, may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred or disposed of, in any manner, including by entering into any short position, any “put equivalent position” or any “call equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) and Rule 16a-1(b) of the Exchange Act, respectively), other than to (i) persons who are “family members” (as defined in Rule 701(c)(3) under the Securities Act) through gifts or domestic relations orders, or (ii) to an executor or guardian of the Participant upon the death or disability of the Participant, in each case, to the extent required for continued reliance on the Rule 12h-1(f) Exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit transfers to the Company or in connection with a Change in Control or other acquisition transactions involving the Company to the extent permitted by Rule 12h-1(f) or, if the Company is not relying on the Rule 12h-1(f) Exemption, to the extent permitted by the Plan.

 

  10. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

 

(a) Adjustments.

 

In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of shares of stock that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of shares of stock covered by each outstanding Award.

 

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation.

 

In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

 

 

 

 

(c) Merger or Change in Control.

 

In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or other entity or a Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines (subject to the provisions of the following paragraph) without a Participant’s consent, including, without limitation, that (i) Awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice to a Participant, that the Participant’s Awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or Change in Control; (iii) outstanding Awards will vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award will lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change in Control, and, to the extent the Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or Change in Control; (iv) (A) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this subsection 10(c), the Administrator will not be obligated to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, similarly.

 

In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award (or portion thereof), the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Participant and the Company, as applicable. In addition, if an Option is not assumed or substituted in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

 

For the purposes of this subsection 10(c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.

 

 

 

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10(c), and unless otherwise provided in any Award Agreement, if an Award that vests, is earned or paid out under any Award Agreement potentially would, if effected, give rise to a plan failure under Code Section 409A(a)(1) and the tax consequences specified therein, payment of any amount that is otherwise payable under this Section shall be postponed under the earliest time that such payment may be made without triggering a plan failure and the attendant tax consequences specified in Code Section 409A(a)(1).

 

  11. Tax Withholding.

 

(a) Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

 

(b) Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by such methods as the Administrator shall determine, including, without limitation, (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld or such greater amount as the Administrator may determine if such amount would not have adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a fair market value equal to the statutory amount required to be withheld or such greater amount as the Administrator may determine, in each case, provided the delivery of such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, (iv) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (v) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The fair market value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

 

 

 

 

  12. No Effect on Employment or Service.

 

Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Consultant or Employee with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Parents (if any), as applicable, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the right of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Parents (if any), as applicable to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

  13. Date of Grant.

 

The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

 

  14. Term of Plan.

 

Subject to Section 18 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon the later of its adoption by the Board or the date determined by the Board. Unless sooner terminated under Section 15, it will continue in effect for a term of 10 years from the date adopted by the Board. .

 

  15. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

 

(a) Amendment and Termination.

 

The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

  

(b) Stockholder Approval.

 

The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

 

(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination.

 

No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

 

 

 

 

  16. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

 

(a) Legal Compliance.

 

Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

(b) Investment Representations.

 

As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

 

  17. Inability to Obtain Authority.

 

The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction or to complete or comply with the requirements of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state, federal or foreign law or under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the stock exchange on which Shares of the same class are then listed, or any other governmental or regulatory body, which authority, registration, qualification or rule compliance is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary or advisable for the issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority, registration, qualification or rule compliance will not have been obtained.

 

  18. Stockholder Approval.

 

The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

 

  19. Information to Participants.

 

If and as required (i) pursuant to Rule 701 of the Securities Act, if the Company is relying on the exemption from registration provided pursuant to Rule 701 of the Securities Act with respect to the applicable Award, and/or (ii) pursuant to Rule 12h-1(f) of the Exchange Act, to the extent the Company is relying on the Rule 12h-1(f) Exemption, then during the period of reliance on the applicable exemption and in each case of (i) and (ii) until such time as the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide to each Participant the information described in paragraphs (e)(3), (4), and (5) of Rule 701 under the Securities Act not less frequently than every 6 months with the financial statements being not more than 180 days old and with such information provided either by physical or electronic delivery to the Participants or by written notice to the Participants of the availability of the information on an Internet site that may be password-protected and of any password needed to access the information. The Company may request that Participants agree to keep the information to be provided pursuant to this section confidential. If a Participant does not agree to keep the information to be provided pursuant to this section confidential, then the Company will not be required to provide the information unless otherwise required pursuant to Rule 12h-1(f)(1) under the Exchange Act (if the Company is relying on the Rule 12h-1(f) Exemption) or Rule 701 of the Securities Act (if the Company is relying on the exemption pursuant to Rule 701 of the Securities Act).

 

 

 

 

  20. Forfeiture Events.

 

The Administrator may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant's rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award will be subject to the reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under this Plan, an Award shall be subject to the Company's clawback policy as may be established and/or amended from time to time (the “Clawback Policy”). The Administrator may require a Participant to forfeit, return or reimburse the Company all or a portion of the Award and any amounts paid thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Clawback Policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws.

ElectroMedical Technologies, Inc.

16561 N. 92nd

Scottsdale, AZ 85260

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

You have requested our opinion as counsel to ElectroMedical Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (the “Registration Statement”) with respect to the registration of 14,262,458 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”). This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion, including, without limitation, the following: (a) the articles of incorporation of the Company; (b) the bylaws of the Company; and (c) the Registration Statement, including all exhibits thereto.

4.2 Securities Are Not Registered.

 

(a)   The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Act on the basis that no distribution or public

 

offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention.

 

(b)   The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or the Exercise Shares of the Company, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.

 

(c)   The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.

 

4.3 Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.

 

(a)   The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:

 

(b)   The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition;

 

(ii)   There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or

 

 

 

(iii)  The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the Circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws. The Company agrees that it will not require an opinion of counsel with respect to transactions under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except in unusual circumstances.

 

(b)  The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE

 

SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

4.4 Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

 

5: ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF EXERCISE SHARES.

 

5.1 Changes in Securities. In the event of changes in the series of equity securities of the Company comprising the Exercise Shares by reason of stock dividends, splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of Exercise Shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. For purposes of this Section 5, the “aggregate Exercise Price" shall mean the aggregate Exercise Price payable in connection with the exercise in full of this Warrant. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.1, the Company at its expense shall issue a certificate signed by an authorized officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment or readjustment, the amount of the adjustment or readjustment and the Exercise Price and number of shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment or readjustment, and shall cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed (by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or overnight delivery service) to the Holder of the Warrant. The Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder of the Warrant at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) all such adjustments and readjustments that have been effected under the Warrant; (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Exercise Shares, the type of Exercise Shares and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

 

 

 

5.2 Automatic Conversion. Upon the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of the series of equity securities comprising the Exercise Shares, this Warrant shall become exercisable for that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which the Exercise Shares would then be convertible, so long as such shares, if this Warrant had been exercised prior to such offering, would have been converted into shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation. In such case, all references to "Exercise Shares" shall mean shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, as appropriate.

 

a3 Anti-Dilution Rights. The Holder shall be protected from dilution in the

 

event that the Company subsequent to issue date of this Warrant issues additional equity securities at a price below the Exercise Price (as adjusted per Section 5.1), other than options, shares and warrants issued pursuant to employee incentive plans approved by the Board of the Company.

 

If the Company issues securities as stated above at a price lower than the Exercise Price (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then the Exercise Price shall be immediately adjusted downward to the same price as the price per share of the Dilutive Issuance.

 

In addition, immediately following the Dilutive Issuance, the number of Exercise Shares shall be increased as follows:

 

N = nl(pl — p2)

 

N = the additional number of Exercise Shares

 

nl = the original number of Exercise Shares (i.e., 100,000, subject to adjustment under Section 5.1)

 

pl = the Exercise Price (i.e., $0.71 , Subject to adjustment under Section 5. 1)

 

p2 = the subscription price of the Dilutive Issuance

 

6.     FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of one Exercise Share by such fraction.

 

 

 

fe NOTICE OF ACQUISITION. In the event of, at any time during the Exercise Period, an IPO or an Acquisition, the Company shall provide to the Holder 30 days' advance written notice of such IPO or Acquisition.

 

8.     MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENT. Holder hereby agrees that Holder Shall not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any shares of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by Holder (other than those included in the registration) (i) during the 180-day period following the effective date of the IPO (or such longer period as the underwriters or the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with FINRA Rule 2711 or NYSE Member Rule 472 or any successor or similar rule or regulation), and (ii) the 90-day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such longer period as the underwriters or the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with FINRA Rule 2711 or NYSE Member Rule 472 or any successor or similar tule or regulation); provided, that, with respect to (i) and (ii) above, all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least one percent of the Company's voting securities are bound by and have entered into similar agreements. Holder agrees that any transferee of the

 

Warrant (or other securities) of the Company held by Holder shall be bound by this Section 8. The underwriters of the Company's stock are intended third party beneficiaries of

The Company represents that it has taken all action necessary to exempt an Affiliate Transfer from any such applicable transfer restrictions. The Affiliate Transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.

 

 

 

11.   LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated

2. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. If prior to the issuance of the Shares, the Company, (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the purchase price of $0.71 per share shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. ISSUANCE OF SHARES. In consideration of the services to be provided pursuant to Addendum A attached hereto, the Company hereby agrees to issue EBI a to be determined amount of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) which Shares will be valued at $0.71 per share.

 

2. COMPETION OF THE PROJECT. As consideration for the Shares, EBI agrees to provide design and development for the Company’s new Wellness Pro Pod Bioelectronics device and accessories in accordance with Addendum A “Design and Manufacturing Electromedical Technologies WellnessPro POD and Accessories and Product Development” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and to complete the project in accordance with Addendum A. All intellectual property, including and electronic and written files, software, firm ware and technical files shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and delivered to the Company upon request.

 

3. DELIVERY AND CONSIDERATION FOR THE SHARES. EBI will invoice the Company for the services at a rate which is mutually agreed to by EBI and the Company and which is equivalent to reasonable compensation pursuant to industry standards. Unless agreed to in writing by the Company and EBI, the total of the invoices shall not exceed US$100,000. The Shares to be delivered will be determined when EBI delivers a completed and working prototype as provided for in Attachment A. If the 247,565 shares previously issued to EBI are worth less than the amount previously owed plus the amount owed under this Agreement, the Company will issue an additional amount of shares to make them whole at the then present stock price.

 

4. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. If prior to the issuance of the Shares, the Company, (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the purchase price of $0.71 per share shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this section) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. Furthermore, if at the time EBI elects to have the restrictive legend removed from the shares, the average trading price of the Company’s common stock over the last twenty (20) days is less than $0.71 per share, the number of shares issued shall be adjusted such that the Shares shall be worth the amount invoiced and agreed to for the services.

Page 2 of 6 (v) your failure to comply in any material respect with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and the Truth in Negotiations Act, or any rules or regulations thereunder.

 

(b) if you receive either Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options, you violate any obligation that you may have to the Company during or after your employment or consultancy with the Company, including but not limited to any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, non-disparagement or other restrictive covenant, to which you have agreed either orally or in writing.

 

4. Exercise Process.

 

An Option may be exercised by giving written notice to ElectroMedical Technologies, Inc., Attention: Plan Administrator, 16561 N 92" Street, Suite 101, Scottsdale, AZ 85260 (or such other address as the Company may specify). Alternatively, the Company may designate one or more third parties to administer the Option exercise process and direct you accordingly. The exercise notice (a) shall be signed by you or (in the event of your death) your legal representative, (b) shall specify the number of full shares then elected to be purchased, and (c) shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased. Payment may be made in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company, and such payment shall include any tax withholding obligation, as set forth in Section 8 below. Alternatively, the Administrator may allow for one or more of the following methods of exercising an Option:

 

 

 

(a) Payment for shares as to which an Option is being exercised and/or payment of any federal, state, local or other tax withholding obligations may be made by transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock you already own, or any combination of such shares and cash, having a fair market value determined at the time of exercise of the Option equal to, but not exceeding, the Exercise Price and/or the tax withholding obligation, as the case may be.

 

(b) A “same day sale” transaction pursuant to which a third party (engaged by your or the Company) loans funds to you to enable you to purchase the shares and pay any tax withholding obligations, and then sells a sufficient number of the exercised shares on your behalf to enable you to repay the loan and any fees. The remaining shares and/or cash are then delivered by the third party to you.

 

(c) A “net exercise” transaction, pursuant to which the Company delivers to you the net number of whole shares remaining from the portion of the Option being exercised after deduction of a number of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price and a number of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of any tax withholding obligations.

 

As promptly as practicable after receipt of such notice and payment (including payment with respect to any tax withholding obligations), subject to Section 8 below, the Company shall cause to

 

Page 3 of 6 be issued and delivered to you (or in the event of your death to your legal representative, as the case may be), certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased. Alternatively, such shares may be issued and held in book entry form.

The Company may make such provisions and take such actions as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any Federal, state, local income and employment taxes and other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, deducting the amount of any such withholding taxes from the amount to be paid hereunder, whether in Common Stock or in cash, or from any other amount then or thereafter payable to you, or requiring you or your beneficiary or legal representative to pay to the Company the amount required to be withheld or to execute such documents as the Administrator or its designee deems necessary or desirable to enable the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations. The Company may refuse to deliver Common Stock if you, your beneficiary or legal representative fail to comply with your or its obligations under this Section. Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social security, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Taxes”) that you are required to bear pursuant to all applicable laws, any and all Taxes are your responsibility.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, in accordance with Section 3(f)(iv) of the Plan and subject to any conditions specified by the Administrator under the Plan.

 

7. Rights as Shareholder.

 

You shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to this Agreement until such time as the purchase price has been paid and a certificate of stock for such shares has been issued to you or such shares of Common Stock have been recorded in your name in book entry form. Except as provided in Section 9 below, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights with respect to such shares for which the record date is prior to the date on which you become the holder of record thereof. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if a law or any regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other body having jurisdiction shall require the Company or you to take any action before shares of Common Stock can be delivered to you hereunder, then the date of delivery of such shares may be delayed accordingly.

 

Page 4 of 6 8. Securities Laws.

 

Provided the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, you hereby represent that you are acquiring the shares of Common Stock for investment and with no present intention of selling or transferring them and that you will not sell or otherwise transfer the shares except in compliance with all applicable securities laws and requirements of any stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock may then be listed. The Company will use its best efforts to register the Option Shares on Form S-1 or such other form that is legally permissible.

 

9. Change in Common Stock.

 

In the event of any change in Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, split-up, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, or of any similar change affecting Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Agreement and the Exercise Price shall be equitably adjusted by the Administrator.

 

 

 

10. No Guarantee of Employment or Retainer.

 

Nothing in this Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate your employment or consultancy at any time, nor confer upon you or any Employee or Consultant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. No Employee or Consultant shall have a right to be selected to be granted an Option or any other Award under the Plan.

 

11. Administrator Authority; Recoupment.

Any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan.

 

12. Amendment or Modification, Waiver.

 

Except as set forth in the Plan, no provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless the amendment or waiver is agreed to in writing, signed by you and by a duly authorized officer of the Company. No waiver of any condition or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same time, any prior time or any subsequent time.

 

Page 5 of 6 13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by the substantive and procedural laws of the state of Delaware. You and the Company shall submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the courts in Arizona in any dispute relating to this Agreement.

The Company may make such provisions and take such actions as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any Federal, state, local income and employment taxes and other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, deducting the amount of any such withholding taxes from the amount to be paid hereunder, whether in Common Stock or in cash, or from any other amount then or thereafter payable to you, or requiring you or your beneficiary or legal representative to pay to the Company the amount required to be withheld or to execute such documents as the Administrator or its designee deems necessary or desirable to enable the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations.

Except as provided in Section 9 below, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights with respect to such shares for which the record date is prior to the date on which you become the holder of record thereof. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if a law or any regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other body having jurisdiction shall require the Company or you to take any action before shares of Common Stock can be delivered to you hereunder, then the date of delivery of such shares may be delayed accordingly.

 

8. Securities Laws.

 

Provided the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, you hereby represent that you are acquiring the shares of Common Stock for investment and with no present intention of selling or transferring them and that you will not sell or otherwise transfer the shares except in compliance with all applicable securities laws and requirements of any stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock may then be listed. The Company will use its best efforts to register the Option Shares on Form S-1 or such other form that is legally permissible.
