Note 1 - Business Organization, Nature of Operations, Risks and Uncertainties and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Operations

Cell Source, Inc. (“Cell Source”, “CSI” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation formed on June 6, 2012 that is the parent company of Cell Source Limited (“CSL”), a wholly owned subsidiary which was founded in Israel in 2011 in order to commercialize a suite of inventions relating to certain cancer treatments. The Company is a biotechnology company focused on developing cell therapy treatments based on the management of immune tolerance. The Company’s lead prospective product is its patented Veto Cell immune system management technology, which is an immune tolerance biotechnology that enables the selective blocking of immune responses. CSL’s Veto Cell immune system management technology is based on technologies patented, owned, and licensed to CSL by Yeda Research and Development Company Limited, an Israeli corporation (“Yeda”) (see Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies). The Company’s target indications include: lymphoma, leukemia and multiple myeloma through the facilitation of safer and more accessible stem cell (e.g. bone marrow) transplantation acceptance, treatment of end stage kidney disease and other non-malignant organ diseases through improved organ transplantation (broadened donor pool, reduced dependence on post-transplant anti-rejection therapy), and ultimately treating a variety of cancers and non-malignant diseases.

Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, aThe novel strain of coronavirus a pandemic. During 2020 and continuing into 2021, the global economy has been, and(“COVID-19”) pandemic continues to be, affected by COVID-19. While the Company continues to see signs ofimpact global economic recovery as certain governments began to gradually ease restrictions, provide economic stimulus and vaccine distribution accelerated, the rate of recovery on a global basis has been affected by resurgence of the virus or its variants in certain jurisdictions causing reinstatement of restrictions in certain jurisdictions.conditions. The Company continues to monitoris closely monitoring the effectsoutbreak of COVID-19 and its impact on the Company’s operations, financial position, cash flows and its industry in general. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on its business and operational assumptions and estimates, and determined there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations and financial position at June 30, 2021.as of March 31, 2022.

The full extent ofSimilarly, the future impact ofeconomic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 onpandemic has made and may continue to make it difficult for the Company’s operations and financial condition is uncertain. Accordingly, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business,Company to forecast operating results, of operations, financial condition and prospects during 2021 and beyond, including the timing and ability of the Company to initiate and/or complete current and/or future preclinical studies and/or clinical trials, disrupt the Company’s regulatory activities, and/or have other adverse effects on the Company’s clinical development. The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic depend on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, and if the Company is not able to respond to and manage the impact of such events effectively, the Company’s business may be harmed.

There can be no assurance that precautionary measures, whether adopted by the Company or imposed by others, will be effective, and such measures could negatively affect the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and the condensed consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and 2020.2021. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 20212022 or any other period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 20202021 and for the year then ended which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2021.2022.

Note 2 - Going Concern and Management Plans

 

During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had not generated any revenues, had a net loss of approximately $2,838,000 1,293,000 and had used cash in operations of approximately $2,258,0001,028,000. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $10,030,0009,997,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $28,544,00032,471,000. Subsequent to June 30, 2021As of March 31, 2022 and as more fully described in Note 9, Subsequent Events, the Company received proceeds of $575,000 through the issuancedate of convertible notes.this filing, notes payable with principal amounts totaling $1,554,912 and $1,408,000, respectivelywere past due and are classified as current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022. The Company will continue to incur net operating losses to fund operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued. Subsequent to March 31, 2022 and as more fully described in Note 9, Subsequent Events, the Company received aggregate proceeds of $150,000 from the issuance of convertible notes payable.

The Company is currently funding its operations on a month-to-month basis. While there can be no assurance that it will be successful, the Company is in active negotiations to raise additional capital. The Company’s primary sources of operating funds since inception have been equity and debt financings. Management’s plans include continued efforts to raise additional capital through debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request the Company may make, if the Company’s debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Since the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

 

Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods, as applicable. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 includes the weighted average impact of warrants to purchase an aggregate of

0 and 2,043,835 shares of common stock because their exercise price was determined to be nominal.

The common stock equivalents associated with the following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

However, such conversion rates are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, which may result in the issuance of common shares greater than the amount indicated.

[2]Excludes shares of common stock underlying convertible notes that are expected to become convertible into shares of Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock since such stock had not been designated by the Company as of June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021. See Note 9, Subsequent Events for additional details.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period balance sheet amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2021 presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On May 3, 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an issuer elects to early adopt the new standard in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating this new standard and its impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities shown in the above table consist of accrued obligations to issue warrants and common stock.

 

In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilized in the valuation of Level 3 liabilities, the Company used the following approximate assumptions:

Schedule of Assumptions Used for Valuation of Level 3 Liabilities

 For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended  For the Three Months Ended

 2021  2020  2021  2020  2022 2021

Expected dividends  0.00%  0.00%  0.00%  0.00%  0.00%  0.00%

 

The expected term used is the contractual life of the instrument being valued. Since the Company’s stock does not have significant trading volume, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

 

As of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had an obligation to issue 169,594 154,495and 154,495 shares of common stock to service providers that had a fair value of $79,709 52,528and $72,613, respectively, which was a component of accrued compensation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.sheets.

Litigation

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Overview

 

We are a cell therapy company focused on immunotherapy. Since our inception, we have been involved with the development of proprietary immune system management technology licensed from Yeda Research & Development Company Limited (“Yeda”), the commercial arm of the Weizmann Institute. We have recentlysince shifted the focus of our research and development efforts to MD Anderson.

 

This technology addresses one of the most fundamental challenges within human immunology: how to tune the immune response such that it tolerates selected desirable foreign cells, but continues to attack all other (undesirable) targets. In simpler terms, a number of potentially life-saving treatments have limited effectiveness today because the patient’s immune system rejects them. For example, while HSCT - hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (e.g. bone marrow transplantation) has become a preferred therapeutic approach for treating blood cell cancer, most patients do not have a matched family donor. Although matched unrelated donors and cord blood can each provide an option for such patients, haploidentical stem cell transplants (sourced from partially mismatched family members) are rapidly gaining favor as a treatment of choice. This is still a risky and difficult procedure primarily because of potential conflicts between host (recipient) and donor immune systems and also due to viral infections that often follow even successful HSCT while the compromised new immune system works to reconstitute itself by using the transplanted stem cells. Today, rejection is partially overcome using aggressive immune suppression treatments that leave the patient exposed to many dangers by compromising their immune system.

 

The unique advantage of Cell Source technology lies in the ability to induce sustained tolerance of transplanted cells (or organs) by the recipient’s immune system in a setting that requires only mild immune suppression, while avoiding the most common post-transplant complications. The scientific term for the result of successfully inducing such tolerance in a transplantation setting is chimerism, where the recipient’s immune system tolerates the co-existence of the (genetically different) donor type and host (recipient) type cells. Attaining sustained chimerism is an important perquisiteprerequisite to achieving the intrinsic GvL (graft versus leukemia) effect of HSCT and supporting the reconstitution of normal hematopoiesis (generation of blood cells, including those that protect healthy patients from cancer) in blood cancer patients. Preclinical data and initial clinical data show that Cell Source’s Veto Cell technology can provide superior results in allogeneic (donor-derived) HSCT by allowing for haploidentical stem cell transplants under a mild conditioning regimen, while avoiding the most common post-transplant complications. Combining this with CAR (Chimeric Antigen Receptor) T cell therapy as a unified VETO CAR-T treatment, we will be able to treat patients in relapse as well as those in remission and use the cancer killing power of CAR-T to protect the patient while their immune system fully reconstitutes, thus providing an end-to-end solution for blood cancer treatment by potentially delivering a fundamentally safer and more effective allogeneic HSCT: prevention of relapse; avoidance GvHD; prevention of viral infections; and enhanced persistence of GvL effect. This means that the majority of patients will be able to find a donor, and will have access to a potentially safer procedure with higher long term survival rates than what either donor-derived HSCT or autologous CAR-T each on their own currently provide.

The ability to induce permanent chimerism (and thus sustained tolerance) in patients – which allows the transplantation to overcome rejection without having to compromise the rest of the immune system - may open the door to effective treatment of a number of severe medical conditions, in addition to blood cancers, which are characterized by this need. These include:

 

 The broader set of cancers, including solid tumors, that can potentially be treated effectively using genetically modified cells such as CAR-T cell therapy, but also face efficacy and economic constraints due to limited persistence based on immune system issues (i.e., the need to be able to safely and efficiently deliver allogeneic CAR-T therapy). Inducing sustained tolerance to CAR-T cells may bring reduced and cost and increased efficacy by allowing for off-the-shelf (vs. patient-derived) treatments with more persistent cancer killing capability.

14

 Organ failure and transplantation. A variety of conditions can be treated by the transplantation of vital organs. However, transplantation is limited both by the insufficient supply of available donor organs and the need for lifelong, daily anti-rejectanti-rejection treatments post-transplant. Haploidentical organ transplants, with sustained chimerism, have the potential to make life saving transplants accessible to the majority of patients, with the prospect of improved life quality and expectancy.
   
 Non-malignant hematological conditions (such as type one diabetes and sickle cell anemia) which could, in many cases, also be more effectively treated by stem cell transplantation if the procedure could be made safer and more accessible by inducing sustained tolerance in the stem cell transplant recipient.

Recent Developments

 

Preclinical Results and Clinical Results

 

After two years of intensive collaboration with Professor Zelig Eshhar, the inventor of CAR-T cell therapy, interim data confirmed that Veto Cells can markedly extend persistence of genetically modified T cells from the same donor and that genetically modified Veto Cells can effectively inhibit tumors expressing an antigen recognized by the transgenic T cell receptor. Furthermore, human Veto Cells transfected with CAR exhibit anti-tumor activity in-vitro without losing their veto activity. These preclinical results will form the basis of theour current development of a clinical protocol for allogeneic VETO CAR-T HSCT combined therapy for blood cancer treatment. Cell Source plans to submit this protocol for approval by the end of 2021.in 2022. The Phase 1/2½ clinical trial at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, using Cell Source’s Anti-viral Veto Cells, has successfully completed the first treatment cohort, with 3 patients each receiving a haploidentical HSCT under reduced intensity conditioning with Veto Cells. This first in human dose optimization trial has thus far shown that the initial dose is in fact the optimal dose, as all three patients had successful stem cell engraftment after 42 days, in the absence of GvHD. Cell Source is now continuing the trial as it proceeds with the next cohortsubsequent cohorts of patients, using the same dose level.

Board of Director Changes

On May 6, 2022, Itamar Shimrat resigned his position as a director of the Company. Mr. Shimrat’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company and he will continue in his positions as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Shimrat’s resignation as director follows an evaluation of the structure of the Board of Directors and a determination that it is in the best interest of the Company to have a Board of Directors comprised of an odd number of members to reduce the possibility of a deadlock.

On July 18, 2022, each of Ben Friedman and David Zolty resigned his position as a director of the Company. Neither Mr. Friedman’s nor Mr. Zolty’s resignation was the result of any disagreement with the Company.

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

 

  June 30, 2021  December 31, 2020 
       
Cash $81,705  $241,619 
Restricted cash $3,500  $3,500 
Working capital deficiency $(10,030,410) $(7,950,882)

  March 31, 2022  December 31, 2021 
       
Cash $131,999  $93,095 
Working capital deficiency $(9,997,117) $(9,826,135)

 

During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had not generated any revenues, had a net loss of approximately $2,838,000$1,293,000 and had used cash in operations of approximately $2,258,000.$1,028,000. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $10,030,000$9,997,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $28,544,000. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, we received proceeds$32,471,000. As of $575,000March 31, 2022 and through the issuancedate of convertiblethis filing, notes payable.payable with principal amounts totaling $1,554,912 and $1,408,000, respectively were past due and are classified as current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022. We will continue to incur net operating losses to fund operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, we received aggregate proceeds of $150,000 from the issuance of convertible notes payable.

 

We are currently funding our operations on a month-to-month basis. Our ability to continue our operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. We may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain our existence. If we were not to continue as a going concern, we would likely not be able to realize our assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

16

There can be no assurances that we will be successful in generating additional cash from equity or debt financings or other sources to be used for operations. Should we not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations, we would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of our assets, if necessary.

 

During the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

We experienced negative cash flows from operating activities for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 in the amounts of approximately $2,258,000$1,028,000 and $1,154,000,$1,114,000, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of approximately $2,838,000,$1,293,000, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of approximately $780,000, and$112,000, partially offset by $200,000153,000 of net cash used inprovided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. The net cash used in operating activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of approximately $1,978,000,$1,525,000, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of approximately $516,000, partially offset by $308,000$541,000, and $131,000 of net cash provided byused in changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 was approximately $2,098,000$1,067,000 and $1,127,000,$972,000, respectively. The net cash provided by financing activities during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was attributable to $2,422,250$1,000,000 of proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes to a related party director and $95,000 of proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable, partially offset by the repayments of the insurance financing liability in the amount of $28,000. The net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was attributable to approximately $1,197,000 of proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable, partially offset by the repayments of notes payable and convertible notes payable in the amount of $324,588. The net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was attributable to $1,075,000 of proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable, $125,000 of proceeds from the issuance of Series A preferred stock, $100,000 of proceeds from the issuance of notes payable and $100,000 of proceeds from advances payable, offset by the repayment of a note payable in the amount of $100,000, $105,000 of repayments of advances payable and a $68,000 repayment of a convertible note payable.$225,000.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures must be in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the periods presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which it relies are reasonably based upon information available to us at the time that it makes these estimates and judgments. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described below.

 

The following is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies or estimates. Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. Embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments are recorded as a discount to the host instrument and are amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument.

17

 

If the instrument is determined to not be a derivative liability, the Company then evaluates for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature by comparing the commitment date fair value to the effective conversion price of the instrument.

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s warrants and embedded conversion options. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The Company determined the fair value under the Binomial Lattice model and the Black-Scholes option pricing model to be materially the same.

Embedded conversion options within notes payable are recorded as a debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument.

18

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

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

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable; and

 

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of Company’s credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and is then recognized over the period the services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees. Upon the exercise of an option or warrant, the Company issues new shares of common stock out of its authorized shares.

 

Because the Company’s common stock historically was not actively traded on a public market, the fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments is estimated by management based on observations of the sales prices of both restricted and freely tradable common stock, or instruments convertible into common stock.stock based on the option pricing model discussed below. The Company obtained a third-party valuation of its common stock as of December 31, 2020,2021, which was considered in management’s estimation of fair value during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The third-party valuation was performed in accordance with the guidance outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Accounting and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The estimates used by management are considered highly complex and subjective. The Company anticipates that once its shares become more actively traded, the use of such estimates will no longer be necessary to determine the fair value of its common stock.

 

The December 2020 independent appraisalappraisals utilized the option pricing method, or OPM, as the most reliable method with the following steps being applied:

 

 Establishment of total enterprise or equity value;
 Analysis of equity rights for each class of security;
 Selection of appropriate model for valuation purposes;
 Determination of key valuation inputs; and
 Computation of the fair value of the subject security.

 

Under the OPM, it was determined the Company’s common stock had a fair value of $0.47$0.34 per share as of December 31, 2021, which included a discount for lack of marketability of 30%. Furthermore, the independent appraisal determined the Company’s expected volatility was 90% by evaluating historical and implied volatilities of guideline companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, management, with the participation of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

Except as described below, we are not involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigations and, to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

 

In January 2019, the holder of a promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 due on March 16, 2016 instituted a collection action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.
