Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain information contained in this report includes forward-looking statements. The statements herein which are not historical reflect our current expectations and projections about our company’s future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities and are based upon information currently available to our company and our management and our interpretation of what is believed to be significant factors affecting the businesses, including many assumptions regarding future events. The following factors, among others, may affect our forward-looking statements:

 

our dependence upon external sources for the financing of our operations ;
our ability to successfully and profitably market our products;
the acceptance of our products by patients and healthcare providers;

Overview

 

We are an early stage digital diagnostics company with the core mission of reducing cancer mortality in the U.S. and around the world through early detection. To do so, we use machine learning and big data analytics approaches to substantially improve the accuracy of tumor biomarkers that are currently tested in millions of individuals around the world. Our products include a blood test for early lung cancer (www.BloodTestforLungCancer.com) and, our OneTest, a multi-cancer test for screening at least five cancers from one blood sample (www.OneTestforCancer.com). Our legacy businesses include a patented field test kit for screening suspicious powders for bioterror agents that is used regularly by hundreds of first responder organizations worldwide (www.BioCheckInfo.com). Our BioCheck® kits for screening suspicious powders remains profitable but with limited growth potential, at least in the U.S. absent a serial anthrax incident, or similar incident, like the one that occurred in the U.S. in 2001.

Recent Developments

 

On August 17, 2018, we launched our initial public offering under Regulation A of Section 3(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for Tier 2 offerings, pursuant to which we are offering a minimum of 127,479 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and a maximum of 3,399,433 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an offering price of $3.53 per share, or a minimum of $450,000 of shares and a maximum of $12,000,000 of shares, on a “best efforts” basis. As of November 8, 2018, we have raised approximately $3,129,000 in gross proceeds through the sale of 886,427 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. As a result, we have received net proceeds of approximately $2,918,000.

 

Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Performance

 

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

 

our ability to access additional capital and the size and timing of subsequent financings;
the costs of acquiring additional data, technology, and/or intellectual property to successfully reach our goals and to remain competitive;
personnel and facilities costs in any region in which we seek to introduce and market our products;
the costs of sales, marketing, and customer acquisition;
average price per test paid by consumers;
the number of tests ordered per quarter;
costs of third-party laboratories to run our tests;
willingness of healthcare providers (including telemedicine providers) to prescribe and encourage our tests and the fees charged by them to do so;
the costs of compliance with any unforeseen regulatory obstacles or governmental mandates in any states or countries in which we seek to operate; and
the costs of any additional clinical studies which are deemed necessary for us to remain viable and competitive in any region of the world.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements are prepared using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as shown in the accompanying financial statements, our company has sustained substantial losses from operations since inception and does not have a predictable revenue stream. In addition, we have used, rather than provided, cash in our operations. The lack of a proven profitable business strategy that would generate a predictable revenue stream raise substantial doubt for our company to continue as a going concern. It is management’s plan in this regard to obtain additional working capital through equity financings and to manage sales and operations in line with the amount of capital available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.

Revenues . We generate revenues from sales of BioCheck® and PAULA’s Test+™. Our total revenues were $125,660 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $131,750 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $6,090, or 4.6%. Such decrease was due to decreased revenues from sales of PAULA’s Test+. Revenues from sales of BioCheck® increased from $110,737 in six months ended June 30, 2017 to $121,500 in six months ended June 30, 2018. Revenues from sales of PAULA’s Test+ decreased from $21,013 in the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $4,160 in the six months ended June 30, 2018. Revenue from our cancer test was generally on hold for the first half of 2017 as we were introducing OneTest in our CLIA lab and verifying all compliance requirements.  We anticipate a continued increase in BioCheck® revenue in the second half of 2018 as sales and marketing resources has been funded with our recent equity raise.

 

Cost of revenues . Our cost of revenues includes materials, labor and laboratory costs. Our cost of revenues decreased by $16,236 or 15.9%, to $86,104 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $102,340 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction of labor and purchases attributable the reduction of PAULA’s Test’s compared to the prior year.

 

Gross profit and gross margin . Our gross profit increased by $10,145, or 34.5%, to $39,556 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $29,410 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues (gross margin) was 31.5% and 22.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Sales, general and administrative expenses . Our sales, general and administrative expenses include office leases, overhead, executive compensation, legal, marketing and similar expenses. Our sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by $21,127, or 3.3%, to $624,010 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, from $645,137 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Such decrease was primarily due to a reduction in staffing compared to the prior year period, offset by an increase in professional fees for anticipated capital raise. As a percentage of revenues, sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 496.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 489.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Research and development expenses . Our research and development expenses include principally clinical data acquisitions, data analysis algorithms and non-capitalizable software development. Our research and development expenses increased by $54,165, or 56.0%, to $150,897 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $96,732 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Such increase was due to the OneTEST product enhancements. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses increased to 120.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 73.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Net loss . As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, our net loss increased by $29,275, or 4.1%, to $737,722 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $708,447 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Historically, our sources of cash have included private placements of equity securities and cash generated from revenues. Our historical cash outflows have primarily been associated with cash used for operating activities such as research and development activities and other working capital needs; the acquisition of clinical data, patient samples (blood, tissue), intellectual property; and expenditures related to equipment and improvements used for our laboratory facility.

 

There is substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we are successful in generating sufficient revenues from our operations or we obtain additional capital. Due to our early stage of development, we do not anticipate that we will generate sufficient revenues from our operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than operations or our business may fail. It is management’s plan in this regard to obtain additional working capital through equity financings and to pursue a new, less labor-intensive approach to sales.

June 30,
 
    2018     2017  
Net cash used in operating activities   $ (623,874 )   $ (565,016 )
Net cash used in investing activities     (221,838 )     (23,419 )
Net cash provided by financing activities     180,657       -

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $737,722 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $565,016 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The principal use of cash in operating activities was to fund our net loss. Cash flows from operations can vary significantly due to various factors, including changes in our operations, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $192,114, as compared to $23,419 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net cash used in investing activities is mainly related to patent costs, license agreement and medical equipment purchases.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $255,659, as compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. These amounts are mainly $390,657 of net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock and repayment advances of $210,000.

 

We completed an equity crowdfunding offering under Section 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act and Regulation Crowdfunding promulgated thereunder. On December 29, 2017, we completed an initial closing in which we raised $1,018,297 in gross proceeds through the sale of 312,361 shares of our Series A-2 Preferred Stock. On January 23, 2018, we completed a second and final closing in which we raised $48,988 in gross proceeds through the sale of 15,027 shares of our Series A-2 Preferred Stock.

 

On January 9, 2018 and March 16, 2018, the Company issued 11,380 and 94,725 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock at $3.26 per share for gross proceeds of $37,100 and $309,000 to an Investment LLC, respectively.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We incurred no capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We estimate that our total capital expenditures in fiscal year 2018 will reach approximately $100,000. Such funds will be used to purchase laboratory equipment.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

In November 2000, we entered into a licensing agreement with the United States Public Health Service, or PHS, that gave us exclusive rights to use several patents owned by PHS. The agreement was subsequently amended in 2005 and 2011. Under the most current agreement, we were required to pay minimum annual royalty fees of $7,500 due and payable on January 1 of each calendar year from 2003 through 2011. Further payment of the minimum annual royalty has been deferred until January 1 of the calendar year following the first year we achieve annual net sales of the licensed product equal to or greater than $1,000,000. The minimum annual royalty will be due January 1 of each calendar year thereafter. The PHS agreement also calls for us to pay other royalties, including earned royalties, benchmark royalties, and sublicensing royalties. In addition, the agreement requires us to reimburse PHS for patent expenses incurred. Reimbursement is due on January 1 of each calendar year beginning in 2013. Minimum reimbursement of $10,000 is due until we have achieved $500,000 in net sales of licensed products, $20,000 once we have achieved between $500,000 and $1,000,000 in net sales of licensed products, and the balance of the remaining unreimbursed patent expenses due in full once we achieve net sales of licensed products of $1,000,000 or upon termination or expiration of the license, whichever comes first. In addition, PHS continues to submit annual requests for reimbursement of patent expenses incurred throughout the preceding year. Unreimbursed patent expenses are included in accrued expenses and were $192,044 and $188,294 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

In July 2002, we entered into an award and royalty agreement with MdBio, Inc. Under this agreement, we received $150,000 in funding and are to make payments of 3% of gross sales revenues beginning in June 2003 and ending when a total of $450,000 has been repaid. Total royalty expenses incurred relating to this agreement were $3,673 and $3,428 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The remaining maximum contingent liability was $299,400 at June 30, 2018.

 

During 2010, we entered into a licensing agreement with Abbott Molecular, Inc., or Abbott. Under this agreement, we retained exclusive rights to use certain processes and know-how for which Abbott has a patent pending. Under this agreement, we are to pay royalties equal to 9% of the service revenue and net sales of each licensed product sold or otherwise disposed of prior to the issuance of the related patents and 18% of sales revenue or net sales of each licensed product sold or otherwise disposed of once the related patents are issued. Royalties will be deferred until either our lung cancer testing business is acquired by Abbott or another third party or the value of the royalties exceeds $1,000,000. The agreement also allows Abbott first right to acquire our lung cancer testing business at various intervals. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, royalty expenses incurred under this agreement were $374 and $779, respectively.

 

In May 2011, we received a grant from the Maryland Biotechnology Center, or MBC. Under this grant agreement, we were to receive $200,000 in funding. Per the agreement, beginning January 31 of the year after the completion of the project, we are to repay MBC in payments equal to 3% of total sales revenues (excluding revenues relating to our BioCheck® product). If the grant is not repaid in full by one year after the first payment date, the total repayment will equal 150% of the award, or $300,000. If the grant is not repaid in full by two years after the first payment date, the total repayment will equal 175% of the award, or $350,000. If the grant is not repaid in full by three years after the first payment date, the total repayment will equal 200% of the award, or $400,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, total royalty expenses incurred under this agreement were $125 and $260, respectively. The remaining maximum contingent liability was $391,888 at June 30, 2018.

 

In February 2016, we entered into a collaboration agreement with National Foundation for Cancer Research, Inc., or NFCR, a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization, for the development of a cloud accessible algorithm to assist physicians in the Peoples Republic of China, or PRC, to interpret test results, and to support refinements of PAULA’s Test+™. The NFCR will assist us in obtaining blood test data from the PRC. Upon execution of the agreement, we issued NFCR 19,157 shares of Common Stock. We issued an additional 19,157 shares of Common Stock in 2016 based on the first milestone of receiving data from the first 1,000 patients located in the PRC. Per the agreement, after we have analyzed data from the initial population, we may seek additional data from more patients which can trigger an additional 38,315 shares of Common Stock being issued. To date, this provision has not yet been triggered. If, upon seeking and receiving this additional patient data as set forth in the agreement, and immediately after issuing the requisite shares, for five (5) years we shall pay to NFCR two percent (2%) of gross sales we derive from the sale, licensing and other dispositions of the developed algorithm, payable quarterly. 

 

Effective April 17, 2017, we entered into a six-month option agreement with Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH) of Taiwan to obtain and secure an exclusive license to certain technology, intellectual property, and data relating to our pan-cancer test. The option period was extended through February 28, 2018 through an amendment executed in November 2017. The option was exercised in a timely manner, payments were made, data was transferred to 20/20 and was verified by 20/20 and we entered an exclusive license to the technology until the last patent included in the specified technology expires, or 20 years. As consideration for this option, we paid an option fee of $75,000. Once the option was exercised in February 2018, we paid an additional license fee of $150,000 in cash and $300,000 in Common Stock (through the issuance of 92,025 shares of Common Stock), which were released from escrow upon verification of the viability of the data. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

   

Accounts Receivable . Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers, amounts due from grants and awards, and other sources. On June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, customer accounts receivable and receivables from other sources totaled $30,656 and $53,106, respectively. Management reviews open accounts monthly and takes appropriate steps for collection. When needed, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to reflect management's determination of the amount deemed uncollectable. An allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,479 is included in accounts receivable at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

Inventories . Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. Inventories consisted entirely of finished goods as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

Intangible Assets – Patents . We capitalize patent filing fees, and it expenses legal fees, in connection with internally developed pending patents. We also will capitalize patent defense costs to the extent these costs enhance the economic value of an existing patent. We evaluate the capitalized costs annually to determine if any amounts should be written down. Patent costs begin amortizing upon approval by the corresponding government and are generally amortized over the expected period to be benefitted, not to exceed the patent lives, which may be as long as 20 years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets . The long-lived assets held and used by us are reviewed for impairment no less frequently than annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. There were no impairment losses during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our products and services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.

 

Offering Costs . We comply with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 340 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.

 

Preferred Stock . ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, includes standards for how an issuer of equity (including equity shares issued by consolidated entities) classifies and measures on its balance sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Management is required to determine the presentation for the preferred stock as a result of the redemption and conversion provisions, among other provisions in the agreement. Specifically, management is required to determine whether the embedded conversion feature in the preferred stock is clearly and closely related to the host instrument, and whether the bifurcation of the conversion feature is required and whether the conversion feature should be accounted for as a derivative instrument. If the host instrument and conversion feature are determined to be clearly and closely related (both more akin to equity), derivative liability accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, is not required. Management determined that the host contract of the preferred stock is more akin to equity, and accordingly, derivative liability accounting is not required by us. Costs incurred directly for the issuance of the preferred stock are recorded as a reduction of gross proceeds received by us.

 

Revenue Recognition . Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, we recognize revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that we deem are within the scope of ASC Topic 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) calculate transfer price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

We recognize revenue from the sale of BioCheck® when purchase orders are processed and kits are shipped to customers. Revenue from the sale of PAULA’s Test+™ is recognized when returned testing kits are processed in the laboratory and the results are reported. Due to the nature of PAULA’s Test+™, revenue per test is recorded based on historical average receipts from patients and insurance companies.

Research and Development . We incur research and development costs during the process of researching and developing our technologies and future manufacturing processes. Our research and development costs consist primarily of materials and services. We expense these costs as incurred until the resulting product has been completed, tested, and made ready for commercial use.

 

Stock-Based Compensation . We account for stock options issued to employees under ASC 718, Share-Based Payment. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We measure compensation expense for non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505, Equity. The fair value of the option issued or committed to be issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured based on the value of our Common Stock, along with other variables as applicable, on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to stock-based compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as a new Topic, ASC Topic 606, which supersedes existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and creates a single framework. Additional updates to Topic 606 issued by the FASB in 2015 and 2016 include the following:

 

ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of the new guidance such that the new provisions will now be required for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017.

 

ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations (reporting revenue gross versus net).

 

ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and classifying licensing arrangements.

 

ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarifies the implementation guidance in a number of other areas.

 

The underlying principle is to use a five-step analysis of transactions to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard permits the use of either a retrospective or modified retrospective application. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-12 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018.  We have aggregated and reviewed our contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606. Based on its evaluation, we do not anticipate the adoption of ASC 606 will have a material impact on our balance sheet or related statements of operations, equity or cash flows. Accordingly, we will continue to recognize revenue at the time services are delivered.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the update requires only a single-step quantitative test to identify and measure impairment based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. A qualitative assessment may still be completed first for an entity to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The update is effective for fiscal year 2021 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our financial statements.

 

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to us or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact our financial statements.

 

Item 2. Other Information

 

We have no information to disclose that was required to be in a report on Form 1-U during the semiannual period covered by this Form 1-SA, but was not reported.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017

 

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

20/20 GeneSystems, Inc. (the “Company”) was founded in May 2000 to develop and commercialize innovative, proprietary diagnostics tests that aid in the fight against cancer.

 

The Company is a digital diagnostics company with the core mission of reducing cancer mortality in the U.S. and around the world through early detection. To do so, the Company uses machine learning and big data analytics approaches to substantially improve the accuracy of tumor biomarkers that are currently tested in millions of individuals around the world. The Company’s products include a blood test for early lung cancer (www.BloodTestforLungCancer.com) and a multi-cancer test for screening at least five cancers from one blood sample (www.OneTestforCancer.com). The Company’s legacy businesses include a patented field test kit for screening suspicious powders for bioterror agents that is used regularly by hundreds of first responder organizations worldwide (www.BioCheckInfo.com).

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has sustained substantial losses from operations since inception and does not have a predictable revenue stream. In addition, the Company has used, rather than provided, cash in its operations. The lack of a proven profitable business strategy that would generate a predictable revenue stream raise substantial doubt for the Company to continue as a going concern. It is management’s plan in this regard to obtain additional working capital through equity financings and to manage sales and operations in line with the amount of capital available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1  - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

  Level 2  - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

  Level 3  - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

  

F- 4

 

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Fair values for these items were assumed to approximate carrying values because of their short-term nature or they are payable on demand.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers time deposits, certificates of deposit, and certain investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers, amounts due from grants and awards, and other sources. On June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, customer accounts receivable and receivables from other sources totaled $30,656 and $53,106, respectively. Management reviews open accounts monthly and takes appropriate steps for collection. When needed, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to reflect management's determination of the amount deemed uncollectable. An allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,479 is included in accounts receivable at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. Inventories consisted entirely of finished goods as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three (3) to seven (7) years. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the term of the related lease, whichever is shorter. Gains or losses on dispositions of assets are reflected in other income or expense.

 

Intangible Assets - Patents

 

The Company capitalizes patent filing fees, and it expenses legal fees, in connection with internally developed pending patents. The Company also will capitalize patent defense costs to the extent these costs enhance the economic value of an existing patent. The Company evaluates the capitalized costs annually to determine if any amounts should be written down. Patent costs begin amortizing upon approval by the corresponding government and are generally amortized over the expected period to be benefitted, not to exceed the patent lives, which may be as long as 20 years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment no less frequently than annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. There were no impairment losses during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products and services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.

 

Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.

   

F- 5

 

 

Preferred Stock

 

ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, includes standards for how an issuer of equity (including equity shares issued by consolidated entities) classifies and measures on its balance sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.

 

Management is required to determine the presentation for the preferred stock as a result of the redemption and conversion provisions, among other provisions in the agreement. Specifically, management is required to determine whether the embedded conversion feature in the preferred stock is clearly and closely related to the host instrument, and whether the bifurcation of the conversion feature is required and whether the conversion feature should be accounted for as a derivative instrument. If the host instrument and conversion feature are determined to be clearly and closely related (both more akin to equity), derivative liability accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, is not required. Management determined that the host contract of the preferred stock is more akin to equity, and accordingly, derivative liability accounting is not required by the Company.

 

Costs incurred directly for the issuance of the preferred stock are recorded as a reduction of gross proceeds received by the Company.

 

Per Share Information

 

Basic per share information is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share information consists of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effects of potential common shares, including convertible preferred shares, and options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the effect would be anti-dilutive. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company excluded the outstanding securities summarized below from its calculation of diluted loss per share, as their effects would have been anti-dilutive.

 

    2018     2017  
Warrants to purchase common stock     117,906       117,906  
Options to purchase common stock     202,917       379,524  
Series A-2 preferred stock     463,107       -  
Series A-1 preferred stock     651,465       651,465  
Series A preferred stock     846,368       846,368  
      2,281,763       1,995,263  

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, we recognize revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that we deem are within the scope of ASC Topic 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) calculate transfer price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of BioCheck® when purchase orders are processed and kits are shipped to customers. Revenue from the sale of PAULA’s Test+™ is recognized when returned testing kits are processed in the laboratory and the results are reported. Due to the nature of PAULA’s Test+™, revenue per test is recorded based on historical average receipts from patients and insurance companies.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

Amounts billed to a customer for shipping and handling are reported as revenues. Costs related to shipments to the Company are classified as cost of sales and totaled $7,651 and $2,553 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company incurs research and development costs during the process of researching and developing the Company’s technologies and future manufacturing processes. The Company’s research and development costs consist primarily of materials and services. The Company expenses these costs as incurred until the resulting product has been completed, tested, and made ready for commercial use.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses were $16,009 and $5,015 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

  

F- 6

 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees under ASC 718, Share-Based Payment. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

 

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505, Equity. The fair value of the option issued or committed to be issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured based on the value of the Company’s common stock, along with other variables as applicable, on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to stock-based compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company applies ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has established a full allowance against all deferred tax assets.

 

ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on its technical merit. Interest and penalties, if any, are accrued as a component of operating expenses when assessed.

 

Concentrations

 

The Company maintains its cash at various financial institutions located in the United States of America which it believes to be credit worthy. Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, the Company maintains balances in excess of the federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to its cash balances.

 

As of June 30, 2018, approximately 38% of total accounts receivable were due from two sources. As of December 31, 2017, approximately 69% of total accounts receivable were due from two sources. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, approximately 52.5% of total revenues were received from four sources. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately 43% of total revenues were received from three sources. Management believes the loss of one or more of these customers would have a significant effect on the Company’s financial condition.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, which supersedes existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and creates a single framework. Additional updates to Topic 606 issued by the FASB in 2015 and 2016 include the following:

 

ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of the new guidance such that the new provisions will now be required for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017.

 

ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations (reporting revenue gross versus net).

 

ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and classifying licensing arrangements.

 

ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarifies the implementation guidance in a number of other areas.

The underlying principle is to use a five-step analysis of transactions to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard permits the use of either a retrospective or modified retrospective application. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-12 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018.  The Company has aggregated and reviewed its contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606. Based on its evaluation, the Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASC 606 will have a material impact on its balance sheet or related statements of operations, equity or cash flows. Accordingly, the Company will continue to recognize revenue at the time services are delivered.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the update requires only a single-step quantitative test to identify and measure impairment based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. A qualitative assessment may still be completed first for an entity to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The update is effective for fiscal year 2021 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements.

 

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact the Company’s financial statements.

Leases

 

In August 2011, the Company entered into a lease commencing in December 2011 which expired in November 2016. Under the lease agreement, the Company was to pay an annual rent of $134,975, plus additional operating expenses. The agreement included a 3% annual increase and an option to expand office space. Upon expiration, this lease has continued on a month-to-month basis. Total rent expense, including additional operating expenses related to this property, was $62,205 and $76,390 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

In August 2014, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement for an office copier. The lease term was for four years, which expired in August 2018. Monthly payments under the agreement are $526 plus additional operating costs. Total equipment lease expense related to this copier was $3,156 and $3,156 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Royalties and License Agreements

 

The Company has entered into various agreements related to fundraising and other consulting services that commits the Company to paying certain additional fees contingent upon certain milestones and/or events. The amount of liability, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Hence, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

 

In 2008, the Company entered into three deferred bonus agreements and agreed to pay deferred bonus payments of approximately $500,000 if certain events related to stock options were triggered. The related stock options expired in February 2018. Upon expiration of these options, the contingency related to this deferred bonus also expired.

 

In November 2000, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with the United States Public Health Service (“PHS”) that gave the Company exclusive rights to use several patents owned by PHS. The agreement was subsequently amended in 2005 and 2011. Under the most current agreement, the Company was required to pay minimum annual royalty fees of $7,500 due and payable on January 1 of each calendar year from 2003 through 2011. Further payment of the minimum annual royalty has been deferred until January 1 of the calendar year following the first year the Company achieves annual net sales of the licensed product equal to or greater than $1,000,000. The minimum annual royalty will be due January 1 of each calendar year thereafter. The PHS agreement also calls for the Company to pay other royalties, including earned royalties, benchmark royalties, and sublicensing royalties. In addition, the agreement requires the Company to reimburse PHS for patent expenses incurred. Reimbursement is due on January 1 of each calendar year beginning in 2013. Minimum reimbursement of $10,000 is due until the Company has achieved $500,000 in net sales of licensed products, $20,000 once the Company has achieved between $500,000 and $1,000,000 in net sales of licensed products, and the balance of the remaining unreimbursed patent expenses due in full once the Company achieves net sales of licensed products of $1,000,000 or upon termination or expiration of the license, whichever comes first. In addition, PHS continues to submit annual requests for reimbursement of patent expenses incurred throughout the preceding year. Unreimbursed patent expenses are included in accrued expenses and were $192,044 and $188,294 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

In July 2002, the Company entered into an award and royalty agreement with MdBio, Inc. Under this agreement, the Company received $150,000 in funding and is to make payments of 3% of gross sales revenues beginning in June 2003 and ending when a total of $450,000 has been repaid. Total royalty expenses incurred relating to this agreement were $3,673 and $3,428 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The remaining maximum contingent liability was $299,400 at June 30, 2018.

 

During 2010, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Abbott Molecular, Inc. (“Abbott”). Under this agreement, the Company retained exclusive rights to use certain processes and know-how for which Abbott has a patent pending. Under this agreement, the Company is to pay royalties equal to 9% of the service revenue and net sales of each licensed product sold or otherwise disposed of prior to the issuance of the related patents and 18% of sales revenue or net sales of each licensed product sold or otherwise disposed of once the related patents are issued. Royalties will be deferred until either the Company's lung cancer testing business is acquired by Abbott or another third party or the value of the royalties exceeds $1,000,000. The agreement also allows Abbott first right to acquire the Company’s lung cancer testing business at various intervals. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, royalty expenses incurred under this agreement were $374 and $779, respectively.

 

In May 2011, the Company received a grant from the Maryland Biotechnology Center (“MBC”). Under this grant agreement, the Company was to receive $200,000 in funding. Per the agreement, beginning January 31 of the year after the completion of the project, the Company is to repay MBC in payments equal to 3% of total sales revenues (excluding revenues relating to the Company's BioCheck® suspicious powder screening kit). If the grant is not repaid in full by one year after the first payment date, the total repayment will equal 150% of the award, or $300,000. If the grant is not repaid in full by two years after the first payment date, the total repayment will equal 175% of the award, or $350,000. If the grant is not repaid in full by three years after the first payment date, the total repayment will equal 200% of the award, or $400,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, total royalty expenses incurred under this agreement were $125 and $260, respectively. The remaining maximum contingent liability was $392,013 at June 30, 2018.

 

In February 2016, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with National Foundation for Cancer Research, Inc. (“NFCR”), a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization, for the development of a cloud accessible algorithm to assist physicians in the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”) to interpret test results, and to support refinements of the Company’s PAULAs test. The NFCR will assist the Company in obtaining blood test data from the PRC. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company issued NFCR 19,157 shares of Common Stock. The Company issued an additional 19,157 shares of Common Stock in 2016 based on the first milestone of receiving data from the first 1,000 patients located in the PRC. These shares are included in the statement of stockholders’ equity as shares issued for services. Per the agreement, after the Company has analyzed data from the initial population, it may seek additional data from more patients which can trigger an additional 38,315 shares of Common Stock being issued. To date, this provision has not yet been triggered. If upon seeking and receiving this additional patient data as set forth in the agreement, and immediately after issuing the requisite shares, the Company for five (5) years shall pay to NFCR two percent (2%) of gross sales the Company derives from the sale, licensing and other dispositions of the developed algorithm, payable quarterly. 

 

Effective April 17, 2017, the Company entered into a six-month option agreement with Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH) of Taiwan to obtain and secure an exclusive license to certain technology, intellectual property, and data relating to our pan-cancer test. The option period was extended through February 28, 2018 through an amendment executed in November 2017. The option was exercised in a timely manner, payments were made, data was transferred to 20/20 and was verified by 20/20 and the Company entered an exclusive license to the technology until the last patent included in the specified technology expires, or 20 years. As consideration for this option, the Company paid an option fee of $75,000. Once the option was exercised in February 2018, the Company paid an additional license fee of $150,000 in cash and $300,000 in Common Stock (through the issuance of 92,025 shares of Common Stock), which were released from escrow upon verification of the viability of the data. The Company has amortized the license agreement over the term amounting to an amortization expense of $8,900 as of June 30, 2018.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company has authorized the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with par value of $0.01, of which 1,303,000 have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 978,000 have been designated as Series A-1 Preferred Stock, 800,000 shares have been designated as Series A-2 Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Designated Preferred Stock”). Below is a summary of the terms of the Designated Preferred Stock.

 

Ranking . With respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, shares of Designated Preferred Stock rank pari passu to each other and senior to all shares of Common Stock.

 

Voting Rights . Shares of Designated Preferred Stock vote together with the holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis on all matters for which the holders of Common Stock vote at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or act by written consent, except as required by law. For so long as shares of Designated Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of such shares vote together, as a separate class, to elect one director to the Company’s board, and for so long as shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock vote together, as a separate class, to elect one director to the Company’s board.

 

Conversion Rights . Each share of Designated Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder at the then current conversion rate. The conversion rate for the Designated Preferred Stock is currently one share of Common Stock for each share of Designated Preferred Stock, calculated by dividing the liquidation preference of such share by the conversion price then in effect. In addition, all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock, plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate, upon the earlier to occur of (a) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public at a price of at least $8.15 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Stock), in a public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement or offering statement under the Securities Act, resulting in at least $5,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Company, (b) the date on which the shares of Common Stock are listed on a national stock exchange, including without limitation the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, or (c) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of at least 67% of the then outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock, voting together on an as-converted to Common Stock basis (which vote or consent shall include the holders of at least 67% of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock outstanding voting as a separate class).

 

Liquidation Rights . In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or a deemed liquidation event, each holder of Designated Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the cash and other assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, prior and in preference to all shares of Common Stock, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of all shares held by such holder. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference of $3.07, $3.07 and 3.26, respectively (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. If upon any liquidation or deemed liquidation event the remaining assets available for distribution are insufficient to pay the holders of Designated Preferred Stock the full preferential amount to which they are entitled, the holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds in proportion to the respective full preferential amounts which would otherwise be payable, and the Company shall not make or agree to make any payments to the holders of Common Stock. A “deemed liquidation event” means, unless otherwise determined by the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock then outstanding (each voting as a single class on an as-converted basis), (a) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to a non-affiliate of the Company, (b) a merger, acquisition, change of control, consolidation or other transactions or series of transactions in which stockholders prior to such transaction or series of transactions do not retain a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately following such transaction or series of transactions, or (c) the grant of an exclusive license to all or substantially all of the Company’s technology or intellectual property rights except where such exclusive license is made to one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

 

Dividends . The Designated Preferred Stock will not be entitled to dividends or distributions unless and until the board declares a dividend or distribution in cash or other property to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, in which event, the aggregate amount of such each distribution shall be distributed as follows: (a) first, seventy percent (70%) of the distribution amount to the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock, on a pro rata basis, until such time as such holders have received an aggregate amount in distributions or other payments in respect of such holder’s shares that is equal to the number of shares owned by such holders multiplied by the liquidation preference stated above, and (b) second, thirty percent (30%) of the distribution amount to the holders of shares of Common Stock, on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as the holders of Designated Preferred Stock and Common Stock have received the amounts described above, the holders of the Designated Preferred Stock shall receive Distributions pari passu with the holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, using the then-current conversion rate of such shares of Designated Preferred Stock.

   

F- 11

 

 

Preemptive Rights . Until the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock occurs and unless otherwise waived by the prior express written consent of the holders of the majority of the voting power of all then outstanding Designated Preferred Stock, voting together on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, in the event that the Company proposes to issue any Common Stock or shares convertible or exercisable for Common Stock, except for excluded issuances, the Company must first offer those additional equity securities to holders of Designated Preferred Stock for a period of no less than thirty (30) days prior to selling or issuing any such additional equity securities to any person, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the certificate of designation. For purposes hereof, “excluded securities” means the issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock (a) granted pursuant to or issued upon the exercise of stock options granted under an equity incentive plan to employees, officers, directors, consultants or strategic partners, (b) granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants or strategic partners for services, including in connection with an incentive plan, or other fair value received or committed, (c) in consideration for a transaction approved by the board which does not result in the issuance for cash of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (d) in connection with an acquisition transaction approved by the board, (e) to vendors, commercial partners, financial institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit transactions, equipment financings or similar transaction approved by the board (provided that such securities do not exceed 10% of the consideration in such transaction), (f) pursuant to conversion or exchange rights included in securities previously issued by the Company or (g) in connection with a stock split, stock division, reclassification, stock dividend or other recapitalization.

 

Redemption . Shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock not redeemable without the prior express written consent of the holders of the majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of such Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock, as applicable.

 

Protective Rights . So long as at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Designated Preferred Stock collectively remains outstanding and until an amount equal to the liquidation value has been paid to the then current holders of Designated Preferred Stock by way of a distribution or other payment from the Company in respect of each such holder’s shares, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law, the vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of all shares of Designated Preferred Stock then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, voting together and on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, including the consent of the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, shall be necessary for effecting or validating, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise:

 

(a) the authorization, creation and/or issuance of any equity security, other than shares of Common Stock or options to purchase Common Stock issued to investors, employees, managers, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the board;

 

(b) the amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise alter or change any right, preference or privilege of any Designated Preferred Stock in a manner adverse to the holders thereof;

 

(c) any increase or decrease in the size of the board;

 

(d) the purchase, redemption, or acquisition of any shares other than from a selling holder pursuant to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or any other restriction provisions applicable to any shares in agreements approved by the board or in the operating agreement of any limited liability company utilized for the purpose of facilitating investment in the Company;

 

(e) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, or other disposal of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

 

(f) any election to engage in any business that deviates in any material respect from the Company’s business as contemplated under any operating plan approved by the board; or

 

(g) the waiver of any adjustment to the conversion price applicable to the Designated Preferred Stock.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On August 17, 2018, the Company launched its initial public offering under Regulation A of Section 3(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for Tier 2 offerings, pursuant to which the Company is offering a minimum of 127,479 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and a maximum of 3,399,433 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an offering price of $3.53 per share, or a minimum of $450,000 of shares and a maximum of $12,000,000 of shares, on a “best efforts” basis.

If upon any liquidation or deemed liquidation event the remaining assets available for distribution are insufficient to pay the holders of Designated Preferred Stock the full preferential amount to which they are entitled, the holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds in proportion to the respective full preferential amounts which would otherwise be payable, and the Company shall not make or agree to make any payments to the holders of Common Stock. A “deemed liquidation event” means, unless otherwise determined by the holders of at least a majority of the Designated Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis), (a) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to a non-affiliate of the Company, (b) a merger, acquisition, change of control, consolidation or other transactions or series of transactions in which stockholders prior to such transaction or series of transactions do not retain a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately following such transaction or series of transactions, or (c) the grant of an exclusive license to all or substantially all of the Company’s technology or intellectual property rights except where such exclusive license is made to one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Dividends . The Designated Preferred Stock will not be entitled to dividends or distributions unless and until the Company’s board declares a dividend or distribution in cash or other property to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, in which event, the aggregate amount of such each distribution shall be distributed as follows: (a) first, seventy percent (70%) of the distribution amount to the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock, on a pro rata basis, until such time as such holders have received an aggregate amount in distributions or other payments in respect of such holder’s shares that is equal to the number of shares owned by such holders multiplied by the liquidation preference stated above, and (b) second, thirty percent (30%) of the distribution amount to the holders of shares of Common Stock, on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as the holders of Designated Preferred Stock and Common Stock have received the amounts described above, the holders of the Designated Preferred Stock shall receive Distributions pari passu with the holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, using the then-current conversion rate of such shares of Designated Preferred Stock.

 

Preemptive Rights . Until the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock occurs and unless otherwise waived by the prior express written consent of the holders of the majority of the voting power of all then outstanding Designated Preferred Stock, voting together on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, in the event that the Company proposes to issue any Common Stock or shares convertible or exercisable for Common Stock, except for excluded issuances, the Company must first offer those additional equity securities to holders of Designated Preferred Stock for a period of no less than thirty (30) days prior to selling or issuing any such additional equity securities to any person, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Restated Charter. For purposes hereof, “excluded securities” means the issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock (a) granted pursuant to or issued upon the exercise of stock options granted under an equity incentive plan to employees, officers, directors, consultants or strategic partners, (b) granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants or strategic partners for services, including in connection with an incentive plan, or other fair value received or committed, (c) in consideration for a transaction approved by the board which does not result in the issuance for cash of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (d) in connection with an acquisition transaction approved by the board, (e) to vendors, commercial partners, financial institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit transactions, equipment financings or similar transaction approved by the board (provided that such securities do not exceed 10% of the consideration in such transaction), (f) pursuant to conversion or exchange rights included in securities previously issued by the Company or (g) in connection with a stock split, stock division, reclassification, stock dividend or other recapitalization.

 

Redemption . Shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are not redeemable without the prior express written consent of the holders of the majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of such Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable.

 

Protective Rights . So long as at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Designated Preferred Stock collectively remains outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law, the vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of all shares of Designated Preferred Stock then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, voting together and on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, including the consent of the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, shall be necessary for effecting or validating, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise:

 

(a) the authorization, creation and/or issuance of any equity security, other than shares of Common Stock or options to purchase Common Stock issued to investors, employees, managers, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the board;

 

(b) the amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise alter or change any right, preference or privilege of any Designated Preferred Stock in a manner adverse to the holders thereof;

 

(c) any increase or decrease in the size of the board;

 

(d) the purchase, redemption, or acquisition of any shares other than from a selling holder pursuant to the provisions of the Restated Charter or any other restriction provisions applicable to any shares in agreements approved by the board or in the operating agreement of any limited liability company utilized for the purpose of facilitating investment in the Company;

 

(e) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, or other disposal of all or substantially all of its assets;

 

(f) any election to engage in any business that deviates in any material respect from the Company’s business as contemplated under any operating plan approved by the board;

 

(g) the waiver of any adjustment to the conversion price applicable to the Designated Preferred Stock; or

  

(h) any declaration or payment of any cash dividend or other cash distribution to any holders of capital stock.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred after June 30, 2018 through November 15, 2018, the issuance date of these financial statements. There have been no other events or transaction during this time which would have a material effect on these financial statements

2.2. Participation after Liquidation Preference .

3.1.2. Second, thirty percent (30%) of the Distribution Amount to the holders of shares of Common Stock, on a pro rata basis (and for such Distribution payment purposes, without treating the Designated Preferred Stock as converted to Common Stock unless and until such shares of Designated Preferred Stock have actually been converted).

Shares converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and may not be reissued. Within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Notice of Conversion, the Corporation shall deliver to the holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Designated Preferred Stock (including any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon).

 

5.2. Mandatory Conversion .

 

5.2.1. Trigger Events . Upon the earlier to occur of: (a) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public at a price of at least $8.15 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Stock) in a public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement or offering statement (Regulation A) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $5,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Corporation, (b) the date on which the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation are listed on a national stock exchange, including without limitation the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, or (c) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of at least 67% of the then outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock, voting together on an as-converted to Common Stock basis (which vote or consent shall include the holders of at least 67% of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock outstanding voting as a separate class) (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to herein as the “ Mandatory Conversion Time ”), each share of Designated Preferred Stock plus accrued, but unpaid, dividends thereon shall be automatically converted (without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof), into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Liquidation Value by the Conversion Price in effect at the Mandatory Conversion Time. Shares of Designated Preferred Stock so converted may not be reissued by the Corporation.

 

5.2.2. Procedural Requirements . All holders of record of shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares pursuant to this Section 5.2.2. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares in certificated form shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the shares converted pursuant to Section 5.2.1, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Section 5.2.2. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for shares, the Corporation shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and (b) pay cash as provided in Section 5.3 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares converted. Such converted shares shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of Designated Preferred Stock, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock accordingly

  

7  

 

 

5.3. Fractional Shares . Upon a conversion hereunder, the Corporation shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the closing sale price at such time. If the Corporation elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

 

5.4. Adjustments .

 

5.4.1. Adjustment for Corporate Actions . If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the issuance of the Designated Preferred Stock (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares (including by way of a stock split), (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before such action shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.4.1 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 reclassification.

5.4.2. Pro Rata Distributions . If the Corporation, at any time while Designated Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders of Designated Preferred Stock) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the closing sale price of the Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such closing sale price on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board in good faith. In either case, the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

5.4.3. Subsequent Equity Sales . If the Corporation at any time while Designated Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or issue any Common Stock or shares convertible or exercisable for Common Stock (collectively, the “ Additional Equity Securities ”) entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Conversion Price (such issuances individually and collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Additional Equity Securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price), then, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Additional Equity Securities which the aggregate consideration received or receivable by the Corporation in connection with such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the then effective Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Additional Equity Securities so issued or issuable in connection with the Dilutive Issuance. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Additional Equity Securities are issued, but no adjustment will be made in respect of an Excluded Issuance.

 

5.4.4. Calculations . All calculations under this Section 5.4 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation, and the description of any such shares of Common Stock shall be considered on issue or sale of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 5.4, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

5.4.5. Notice to Holders . Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 5.4, the Corporation shall promptly mail to each holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Corporation issues a variable rate security, the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued Additional Equity Securities at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised.

 

5.4.6. Excluded Issuances . Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5.4 in respect of the issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock (a) granted pursuant to or issued upon the exercise of stock options granted under an equity incentive plan to employees, officers, directors, consultants or strategic partners, (b) granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants or strategic partners for services, including in connection with an incentive plan, or other fair value received or committed, (c) in consideration for a transaction approved by the Board which does not result in the issuance for cash of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (d) in connection with an acquisition transaction approved by the Board, (e) to vendors, commercial partners, financial institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit transactions, equipment financings or similar transaction approved by the Board (provided that such securities do not exceed 10% of the consideration in such transaction), (f) pursuant to conversion or exchange rights included in securities previously issued by the Corporation or (g) in connection with a stock split, stock division, reclassification, stock dividend or other recapitalization (the “ Excluded Issuances ”) .

 

6. Redemption; Reissuances of Shares . Except as expressly provided in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Designated Preferred Stock is not redeemable without the prior express written consent of the holders of the majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock. In the event any shares shall be redeemed pursuant to this section or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any subsidiary, the shares so redeemed or acquired shall automatically be canceled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein. Shares of Designated Preferred Stock converted to Common Stock shall automatically be canceled, but may not be reissued.

 

7. Pre-emptive Rights . Until the Corporation’s initial public offering of Common Stock occurs and unless otherwise waived by the prior express written consent of the holders of the majority of the voting power of all then outstanding Designated Preferred Stock, voting together on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, in the event that the Corporation proposes to issue any Additional Equity Securities, except for Excluded Issuances, the Corporation shall first offer those Additional Equity Securities to holders of Designated Preferred Stock for a period of no less than thirty (30) days prior to selling or issuing any such Additional Equity Securities to any person, in accordance with the following provisions:

 

10  

 

 

7.1. The Corporation shall deliver written notice (a “ Pre-emptive Right Sale Notice ”) to each holder of Designated Preferred Stock stating (a) the Corporation’s bona fide intention to offer such Additional Equity Securities, (b) the number and type of such Additional Equity Securities to be offered, and (c) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Additional Equity Securities (which price shall be no greater than the price to be paid by, and the purchase terms not materially less favorable than those offered to, any other person to purchase Additional Equity Securities).

 

7.2. Upon its receipt of the Pre-emptive Right Sale Notice, each holder of Designated Preferred Stock shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Pre-emptive Right Sale Notice in which to notify the Corporation by delivering written notice (a “ Subscription Notice ”) to the Corporation that such holder elects to purchase Additional Equity Securities upon the same terms and conditions set forth in the Pre-emptive Right Sale Notice. Holders shall have the right to elect to purchase up to that portion of such Additional Equity Securities which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock held by such holder bears to the total number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock then outstanding, as calculated by treating all Designated Preferred Stock on an as-converted to Common Stock basis.

 

7.3. In the event that a Subscription Notice is timely delivered to the Corporation in accordance with Section 7.2, the Corporation shall be obligated to sell to such holder its pro rata share of such Additional Equity Securities at the time of the sale of Additional Equity Securities to other persons, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the delivery by the Corporation to the holders of the Pre-emptive Right Sale Notice.

 

7.4. In the event that any holder of Designated Preferred Stock (a “ Non-Purchasing Holder ”) fails to elect within the fifteen (15) day period set forth in Section 7.2 to purchase all of its pro rata share of Additional Equity Securities, the Corporation shall within two (2) business days following the expiration of such aforementioned period send written notice thereof to all holders of Designated Preferred Stock that timely delivered a Subscription Notice (each, a “ Participating Holder ”). Each Participating Holder may within fourteen (14) business days from the date it receives the aforementioned notice from the Corporation elect to purchase a pro rata portion of the Non- Purchasing Holder’s portion of Additional Equity Securities (based on the proportion that the number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock held by such Participating Holder (on the date of the Pre-emptive Right Sale Notice) bears to the total number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock held by all Participating Holders (on the date of the Pre-emptive Right Sale Notice) electing to purchase a pro rata portion of the Additional Equity Securities offered for purchase to such Non-Purchasing Holder).

 

7.5. To the extent that any Additional Equity Securities are not subscribed for by the holders of Designated Preferred Stock pursuant to the above procedures, the Corporation shall be entitled to sell any such unsubscribed Additional Equity Securities to any person; provided, that the sale price for such Additional Equity Securities shall not be lower than the price contained in the Pre-emptive Right Sale Notice and that the purchase terms and conditions of the transaction are not materially more favorable to such person than those offered to the holders and described in the Pre-emptive Right Sale Notice.

 

11  

 

 

7.6. If any holder of Designated Preferred Stock exercises its pre-emptive right as set forth herein, the Corporation shall set the time for closing in connection with the purchase of such Additional Equity Securities by such holder(s), which closing shall be at the principal office of the Corporation and held within sixty (60) days after the Subscription Notice is first received by the Corporation, but not earlier than the date of closing, if any, set forth in the Pre-emptive Right Sale Notice.

 

8. Notices of Record Date . In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or any other right, the Corporation shall provide each holder of Designated Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, notice in accordance with Section 9 specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

Such communications must be sent to the Corporation, at its principal executive offices, and to any stockholder, at such holder’s address at it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (or at such other address for a stockholder as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 9).

 

10. Waiver .

11. No Sinking Fund . No sinking fund shall be created for the redemption or purchase of shares of the Designated Preferred Stock.

 

12. Transfer Taxes . The Corporation shall pay any and all stock transfer, documentary, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any initial issuance or delivery of the Designated Preferred Stock or certificates representing such shares, if any. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares in a name other than that in which the shares were registered, or in respect of any payment to any person other than a payment to the initial registered holder thereof.

 

12  

 

 

13. Other Rights .
