PART I
Item 1. Business.
Overview
Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc. (Endonovo or the “Company”) is an innovative biotechnology company that has developed a bio-electronic approach to regenerative medicine.
The Company develops, manufactures, and distributes evolutionary medical devices focused on the rapid healing of wounds and reduction of pain, edema and inflammation on and in the human body. The Company’s non-invasive bioelectric medical devices are designed to target inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, and central nervous system disorders (“CNS” disorders).
Endonovo’s core mission is to transform the field of medicine by developing safe, wearable, non-invasive bioelectric medical devices that deliver the Company’s Electroceutical® Therapy. Endonovo’s bioelectric Electroceutical® devices harnesses bioelectricity to restore key electrochemical processes that initiate anti-inflammatory processes and growth factors in the body necessary for healing to rapidly occur.
Corporate History
Our predecessor company, Hanover Asset Management, Inc. was incorporated in November 2008 in California. For the purpose of reincorporating in Delaware, we merged with a newly incorporated successor company, Hanover Portfolio Acquisitions, Inc., in July 2011 under which we continue to operate.
IP Resources International, Inc. began operations on September 1, 2011, and was formally incorporated on October 17, 2011.
Reverse Acquisition
On March 14, 2012, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Agreement”) with IPR and certain of its shareholders. Under the Agreement, each participating IPR shareholder exchanged all of their issued and outstanding IPR common shares totaling 33,234,294, free and clear of all liens, and $155,000 for Company common shares equal to 1.2342 times the number of IPR shares being transferred to the Company for a total of 410 of our shares. The $155,000 was not paid at closing. The Company recorded the $155,000 as acquisition payable. IPR agreed to make payments of up to 25% of the proceeds from any private placement or gross profits earned by IPR until the obligation is satisfied. The percentage of the proceeds to be paid is at the sole discretion of IPR’s Chief Executive Officer and the ex-Chief Executive Officer of the Company based on the liquidity of the Company.
As a result of the Agreement, the former shareholders of IPR, immediately post-acquisition owned approximately 89% of the Company and its officers and directors constituted the majority of the officers and directors of the Company. Since the shareholders, officers, and directors of IPR have control of the Company, the acquisition constitutes a reverse acquisition, so IPR was the accounting acquirer, and we were the accounting acquiree. For legal purposes, we are the legal parent and IPR is the legal subsidiary.
Acquisition of Aviva Companies Corporation
On April 2, 2013, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with (i) The Aviva Companies Corporation (“Aviva”) and (ii) all of the shareholders of Aviva (the “Shareholders”) pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Aviva in exchange for the issuance of 60 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share to the Shareholders (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Aviva became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Other than in respect to the transaction, there is no material relationship among Aviva’s stockholders and any of the Company’s affiliates, directors, or officers. We are not currently actively pursuing the development of the Aviva Companies Corporation.

Acquisition of WeHealAnimals, Inc.
On November 16, 2013, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with (i) WeHealAnimals, Inc. (“WHA”) and (ii) the sole shareholder of WHA (the “Shareholder”) pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of WHA in exchange for the issuance of 3 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and $96,000 to the Shareholder (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, WHA became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and all of the equity of WHA including its and its sole shareholder’s intellectual property became the property of the Company. This obligation was fully paid on December 15, 2015, through the issuance of 350 shares of stock to Shareholder. WHA is a Nevada corporation with intellectual property in the fields of biotechnology, including its biologics and time-varying electromagnetic frequencies with potential applications on people and animals that management believes can be developed to the benefit of the Company and its shareholders. WHA’s sole shareholder was formerly Chairman and Chief Scientist of Regenetech, Inc. Regenetech was acquired by a company that wanted its technology, biomolecules grown in microgravity, for use in cosmetics. WHA’s sole shareholder left Regenetech with exclusive rights to this proprietary square wave form technology and stem cell technologies, including the patents and patent applications relating thereto.
Other than in respect to the transaction, there is no material relationship between WHA’s sole stockholder and any of the Company’s affiliates, directors, or officers.
Acquisition of Rio Grande Assets
On December 22, 2017, we acquired intellectual property and other assets (the “RGN Assets”) from Rio Grande Neurosciences, Inc. (RGN). The price was $4,500,000 of which we paid $3,000,000 in cash and delivered a $1,500,000 secured promissory note due November 30, 2018, and security agreement. Before such note was due, the note was assigned to Eagle Equities, LLC (“Eagle”) its due date was extended to November 30, 2019, and it was made convertible into our common stock at a price related to our common stock’s market price at the time of conversion. The maturity date was then extended to December 31, 2021. The RGN Assets relate to RGN’s PEMF portfolio of intellectual property, including 27 issued patents with foreign patent protection covering the therapeutic use of PEMF as well as the treatment of various central nervous system disorders. We intend to initiate and fund future clinical trials to evaluate the further use of PEMF in the treatment of central nervous system disorders, including traumatic brain injury, post-concussion syndrome, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. However, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in these endeavors or that the results of any tests will indicate further development of the RGN Assets.
The PEMF assets acquired include SofPulse®, a portable, disposable PEMF device with a CE Mark and an FDA 510(k) clearance for the treatment of post-surgical pain and edema in addition to medical reimbursement for the treatment of chronic wounds. Endonovo Therapeutics has begun the commercialization of the PEMF assets through marketing and the creation of various sales channels and distribution agreements.
Present Development Plans

These bioelectronics devices are also commonly referred to as “electroceuticals.” These products are part of an emerging field termed “Bioelectronic Medicine,” that seeks to harness electrical signals in nerves and cells to alter the course of diseases and conditions. Whereas our competitors are primarily using implantable electrical nerve stimulators, we are developing devices that are not implantable and use electromagnetic pulses to deliver electrical stimulation to cells and tissues. We are developing these bioelectronic devices for the treatment of inflammatory conditions in tissues and vital organs with a concentration on vascular diseases and ischemia/reperfusion injuries.
The Company is negotiating with a major distribution partner in order to initiate the marketing of SofPulse® in South and Central America. Additionally, the Company is currently engaged in distribution discussions with recognized distribution partners in Australia, Europe, and various Southeast Asian markets. SofPulse® is completing the final stages of receiving regulatory clearance in Taiwan through Endonovo’s distribution partner Evermed Medical Enterprise, Ltd. Final Taiwan FDA approval is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023.
On December 13, 2022, the Company announced the launch of a new initiative to utilize its telehealth platform to educate and provide prescription and “over the counter” non-opioid pain reduction options. The Endonovo Telehealth platform will provide direct-to-consumer sales of prescription uses of their SofPulse® Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields (PEMF) medical device proven to reduce opioid use. This initiative is in the early stages and has not to date generated revenue.
Possible Additional Line of Business
The Company recently entered into a program to expand its operations through a program of acquisition of specialty construction and facilities maintenance companies. On September 27, 2022, the Company executed a definitive purchase agreement with Western Star Concrete LLC, a Texas concrete construction company located in the Dallas, Texas area. No consideration was transferred, or shares issued with respect to the definitive purchase agreement as of December 31, 2022. There have been no changes to this date.
The Company plans to initiate a spin-off of its medical device assets to SofPulse, Inc., a new Company, which was formed by Endonovo and will be transferred to our President and Chief Commercial Officer of the Company’s medical division, Ira Weisberg. Ira Weisberg will be responsible for running SofPulse, Inc. independently from Endonovo and will develop commercialization initiatives through sales and marketing channels for SofPulse, Inc. utilizing the SofPulse® medical assets.
Intellectual Property:
SofPulse: We have 29 issued patents with foreign patent protection covering the therapeutic use of tPEMF as well as the treatment of various central nervous system disorders. Additionally to date, we have filed seven patent applications in the U.S. through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and four international patent applications in the E.U., China, South Korea and Japan covering our Time-Varying Electromagnetic Field (TVEMF) technology, the production of biomolecules, the creation of an allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell product a treatment for chemical and radiation injuries, production of stem cell secretome and a method of treating tissues and organs using our TVEMF technology. To date, we have been granted one U.S. Patent (U.S. Patent No. 9,410,143) issued on August 9, 2017, covering the production of human biomolecules using our TVEMF technology. We will continue to seek to strengthen our portfolio of intellectual property by filing additional patents around uses of our core technologies.
Our business strategy is aimed at building value by positioning each of our technologies and therapies to treat specific diseases that lack effective treatment, post-operative pain and edema, or whose current standard of treatment involves invasive procedures and/or potentially harmful side effects. We anticipate updating and refining the business strategy as new medical and/or clinical advancements are made as a result of extensive research and development. In general, the component functions of the business model are to:
● | Commercialize our FDA cleared technology through direct sales, distributors, and licensees; | |
● | License our technologies; | |
● | Develop additional medical indications for our medical devices; |
6 |
● | Develop additional non-invasive, medical technologies; | |

Industry Overview
Bioelectrical Medicine within the Healthcare Industry
The healthcare industry is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing industries. Consuming over 10 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of most developed nations, health care can form an enormous part of a country’s economy.
As of 2016, 91.1% of residents had health protection in the United States, either through their employer or bought individually. During 2016, healthcare costs reached $3.3 trillion, or $10,348 per person. The share of U.S. GDP devoted to healthcare was 17.9% of U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the largest of any country in the world. Specifically, the cost of pharmaceuticals in the United States is the highest on the planet. It is expected that Healthcare’s share of U.S. GDP will continue its upward trend, reaching 20 percent of U.S. GDP by 2025. Globally, by 2040, Healthcare spending is expected to exceed $18 Trillion annually.
Bio-Electrical Medicine is a $17.2 Billion sector of the Healthcare Industry growing at more than a 11% CAGR estimated to exceed $35.5 Billion by 2025, according to Grand View Research. Bioelectric medicine is at the forefront of technological revolution in medical sciences. As opposed to the pharmaceutical industry, bioelectric medicine has a different treatment therapy that is based on electrical pulses instead of drugs to trigger the body’s recovery capabilities. Bioelectric medicine develops nerve stimulating and sensors activation technologies to regulate biological functions and treat diseases by combining bioengineering, neuroscience, molecular medicines and electronics. These technologies may change the future of therapies for wide range of diseases.
On the basis of type of device, the global Electroceuticals®/Bioelectrical Medicine Market is classified into two major classes:
Ø | Implantable Electroceuticals® Devices, and | |
Ø | Non-invasive Electroceuticals® Devices. |
BioElectric Medicine vs. Drug Therapies
Over the past 15 years, long-acting and extended-release opioids have been used to treat open wounds, post-operative wounds and chronic pain. These opioids are normally administered at high doses and over long treatment durations particularly in the United States, resulting in a drastic increase in the number opioid-tolerant individuals and a prescription opioid abuse epidemic. Endonovo offers an alternative, non-opioid treatment through its Electroceuticals® systems: The Company’s SofPulse® system is a medical device/designed to rapidly reduce post-operative swelling/edema, pain and to treat and accelerate the recovery of chronic wounds through the use of tPEMF. Chronic pain therapy via tPEMF works by relieving the underlying cause of pain – inflammation.
Drug therapies remain the standard of care for a broad range of medical conditions, including high blood pressure, chronic pain, autoimmune diseases, and psychiatric disorders. Management believes that bioelectronic medicine has developed as a viable alternative for the treatment of many disorders.

Normally, our nervous systems send signals to our tissues and organs to suppress inflammation, a phenomenon known as the inflammatory reflex. But sometimes, this system does not work properly, with malfunctions resulting in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Traditionally, doctors have treated these diseases using drugs designed to suppress inflammation, such as infliximab (trade name Remicade) or adalimumab (Humira). But these drugs are expensive. Plus, they don’t work for everyone, often come with nasty side effects, and in some rare cases, they can even kill.
Current Product Being Sold – SofPulse®
In clinical trials, the SofPulse® device has proven to reduce mean pain scores by nearly 300% and inflammation by 275% thereby improving and reducing recovery time. Additionally, active patients have experienced a 2.2-fold reduction in narcotic use. The SofPulse® delivers tPEMF to enhance post-surgical recovery, naturally. Since the SofPulse® is non-invasive and non-pharmacologic, there are no known side effects and no potential for overdose or dependency AND no effects on healthy tissue.
How the SofPulse® Works
SofPulse® delivers low intensity microcurrents of energy directly to the procedure site, to enhance recovery, by increasing the amount of naturally occurring Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), thereby increasing the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels (Angiogenesis). Within hours/days, the Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) enhances, thereby increasing the production of Collagen/Granulation (within days) and Transforming Growth Factor (TGF-β) accelerating Remodeling in the body within days/weeks. This device reduces inflammation and speeds/improves the healing process. The natural healing process allows patients to get back to life faster with lowered use of narcotics. A surgeon places and activates SofPulse® immediately after a procedure. The SofPulse® can be placed over a surgical dressing or clothing and can easily be applied and/or removed in many cases by the patient themselves. The length of time the device is used will vary depending on the type of procedure.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Market Information
Our common stock trades on the OTCQB under the symbol “ENDV”. The OTCQB is a quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter (“OTC”) equity securities. An OTCQB equity security generally is any equity that is not listed or traded on a national securities exchange. Our stock is thinly traded, and a robust, active trading market may never develop. The market for the Company’s common stock has been limited, volatile, and sporadic.
Price Range of Common Stock
The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the high and low closing prices per share of our common stock as reported by the OTCQB quotation service.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In doing so, we have to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In some cases, we could reasonably have used different accounting policies and estimates. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We refer to accounting estimates of this type as critical accounting policies and estimates, which we discuss further below.
Impairment of Other Intangible and Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its intangible assets under the provisions of ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”. In accordance with ASC 350, intangible assets with a definite life are analyzed for impairment under ASC 360-10-05 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and intangible assets with an indefinite life are analyzed for impairment under ASC 360 annually, or more often if circumstances dictate. The Company performs its annual simplified impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
12 |
Use of estimates
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. The significant estimates were made for the fair value of common stock issued for services, with notes payable arrangements, in connection with note extension agreements, and as repayment for outstanding debt, in estimating the useful life used for depreciation and amortization of our long-lived assets, in the valuation of the derivative liability, and the valuation of deferred income tax assets. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements and determined that there are no accounting pronouncements that will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Revenue
Revenue of the Company’s SofPulse® product during the current year increased by $62,250 or 85.2% compared to the previous year.
Revenues for sales of our SofPulse® product is typically recognized at the time the product is shipped, at which time the title passes to the customer, and there are no further performance obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company also recognized $113,620 in royalty/licensing revenue from a former related party.
We anticipate that revenue will increase in future periods as the roll out of the SofPulse® product continues. The Company is looking to partner with global participants in the medical device market to spur its expansion. The Company expects such investment alternatives to include partnerships, joint ventures, distribution, and licensing agreements for the PEMF medical technology. The Company also look to expand on current initiatives with the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other surgical and pain management markets.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue decreased by $4,995 or 33.3% from the previous year to $9,990 during the current year compared to $14,985 during the previous year. Cost of revenue is recognized on those sales recorded as gross for which we are the principal in the transaction as opposed to net sales which reflect no cost of revenue. It is anticipated that cost of revenue will increase in future periods as the roll out of the SofPulse® product continues.

Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses increased by $1,105,038 or 48.4% to $3,389,705 in 2022 compared to $2,284,667 in 2021. The operating expenses were comprised primarily of consulting fees, professional fees, and stock-based compensation. This change was due primarily to an increase in stock-based compensation of approximately $1.2 million.
Depreciation and Amortization
We incur depreciation and amortization expenses for costs related to our patents. Our depreciation and amortization expense was $646,912 in 2022 compared to $648,492 in 2021. The Company has not impaired its finite-lived intangible as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Other Expense
Other expense was $15,210,495 in 2022 compared to $878,347 in 2021. Other Expense includes interest expense, change in fair value of derivative liability, amortization of debt issuance cost, gain on extinguishment of debt and make-good expense.
The increase in other expense during our fiscal year 2022 was primarily the result of re-valuation of the derivative liability embedded in the convertible notes issued with variable conversion rates. The Change in fair value of the Company’s derivative liability resulted in an expense of $14 million in 2022 compared to a gain of approximately $41,000 in 2021, resulting from changes to the inputs to the fair value option pricing model. The Company also incurred an increase in interest expense of approximately $380,000 and approximately $225,000 of additional expenses attributed to the make good provision embedded in the fixed rate convertible notes, offset by an increase of approximately $340,700 of gain from debt extinguishment in 2022.

Since January 2022 and through December 31, 2022, the Company has raised approximately $0.6 million in equity and debt transactions. These funds have been used to advance the operations of the Company, build its bio-medical platform, and general corporate development. Our accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these consolidated financial statements. However, the Company has incurred substantial losses. Our current liabilities exceed our current assets and available cash is not sufficient to fund the expected future operations. The Company is raising additional capital through debt and equity securities to continue the funding of its ongoing operations and fund the various business initiatives. However, there is no assurance that the Company can raise enough funds or generate sufficient revenues to pay its obligations as they become due, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To reduce the risk of not being able to continue as a going concern, management has implemented its business plan to materialize revenues from sales and future license agreements, and also in February 2023 secured a reseller agreement with Academy Medical, Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, thereby providing priority procurement benefits to the Company. The relationship with Academy Medical is intended ensure availability of SofPulseâ to the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and Department of Defense (DoD). To date no revenue has been realized under this contract. The Company is also continuing its efforts to raise capital through the sale of its common stock and has engaged an Investment Banker to raise additional capital. Although, uncertainty exists as to whether the Company will be able generate enough cash from operations to fund the Company’s working capital needs or raise sufficient capital to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, no adjustments have been made to the carrying value of assets or liabilities as a result of this uncertainty. Our cash on hand at December 31, 2022 was less than $1,000. This will not be sufficient to fund operations if additional capital is not raised. The Company raised an aggregate of $0.225 million through the sale of equity and debt securities since January 1, 2023, through the date of this report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, obligations under any guaranteed contracts or contingent obligations. We also have no other commitments, other than the costs of being a public company that will increase our operating costs or cash requirements in the future.
Seasonality
Management does not believe that our current business segment is seasonal to any material extent.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We do not have in effect any compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we issued the following unregistered equity securities:

The above issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2), and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these stockholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has continued to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, during the year ended December 31, 2022, and has negative working capital at December 31, 2022. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Instruments with Embedded Conversion Features
Description of the Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company issues instruments with embedded conversion features. Some of these embedded conversion features result in a derivative liability that is measured at fair value.
Auditing derivative liability is complex and highly judgmental due to the variability and uncertainty associated with the Company’s assessment of estimates used in calculating the value of the derivative liability. Changes in these estimates would have a significant effect on the valuation of the derivative liability and the related change in fair value of derivative liability.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
To test the derivative liability, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s accounting policy for instruments with embedded conversion features and the estimates and assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the derivative liability. We evaluated whether the methods used to calculate the fair value of the derivative liability were applied consistently. We also tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used for the fair value measurement.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2008.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of ETI, IP Resources International, Inc., Aviva Companies Corporation, WeHealAnimals, Inc. and SofPulse, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
These
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for a period following the date of these consolidated
financial statements. The Company has accumulated losses of $
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 estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Critical estimates include the value of shares issued for services and in connection with notes payable agreements, the valuation of the derivative liability, and the valuation of deferred income tax assets. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
25 |
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash is deposited with what we believe are highly credited, quality institutions. The deposited cash may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company does not hold any cash in excess of FDIC limits and does not have any cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The
Company uses the specific identification method for recording the provision for doubtful accounts, which was $
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
The Company measures equity-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes it as expense, net of forfeitures which are recognized as they occur, over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock award using the straight-line method.
Income Taxes
The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of its reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and income tax credit carry-forward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company has determined that the adoption did not result in the recognition of any liability for unrecognized tax benefits and that there are no unrecognized tax benefits that would, if recognized, affect the Company’s effective tax rate.
Basic net loss per share is calculated based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period excluding any dilutive effects of options, warrants, unvested share awards and convertible securities. Diluted net loss per common share assumes the conversion of all dilutive securities using the if-converted method and assumes the exercise or vesting of other dilutive securities, such as options, common shares issuable under convertible debt, warrants and restricted stock using the treasury stock method when dilutive.
The Company has stock options, of which are exercisable and warrants convertible into an equivalent number of common stock as of December 31, 2022. The Company has stock options, of which are exercisable and warrants convertible into an equivalent number of common stock as of December 31, 2021.
As
of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has variable rate convertible notes in an aggregate amount of $

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities using a hierarchy system, and defines required disclosures. It clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts business.
The Company’s balance sheet contains derivative liability that is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value is as follows:
Level 1: uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: uses observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: uses unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The fair value of the Company’s recorded derivative liability is determined based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, which require a Level 3 classification. A Black-Sholes option valuation model was used to determine the fair value. The Company records derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operation.
The following table presents balances of the liabilities with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Derivative Liability
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has variable rate convertible promissory notes, which contained variable conversion rates based on unknown future prices of the Company’s common stock. This resulted in the recognition of a derivative liability as the conversion feature failed the scope exception for derivative accounting due to the variability of its conversion price. The Company measures the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions:
For Years Ending December 31, | ||||||||
2022 | 2021 | |||||||
Expected term | ||||||||
Exercise price | $ |
$ |
||||||
Expected volatility | ||||||||
Expected dividends | ||||||||
Risk-free interest rate | ||||||||
Forfeitures |
The assumptions used in determining fair value represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change, including changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, managements’ assessment, or significant fluctuations in the volatility of the trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s fair value estimates could be materially different in the future.
The Company computes the fair value of the derivative liability at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The key component in the value of the derivative liability is the Company’s stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under its control, and the assessment of volatility. The resulting effect on net loss is therefore subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the Company’s Variable Debentures, which the convertible feature is associated with, are converted into common stock or paid in full with cash. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when its stock price increases and non-cash income when its stock price decreases.

Recent Accounting Standard Updates
The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements and determined that there are no accounting pronouncements that will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 2 - Revenue Recognition
Contracts with Customers
We have adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not substantially completed as of January 1, 2018. These standards provide guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
We routinely plan on entering into contracts with customers that include general commercial terms and conditions, notification requirements for price increases, shipping terms and in most cases prices for the products and services that we offer. Our performance obligations are established when a customer submits a purchase order notification (in writing, electronically or verbally) for goods and services, and we accept the order. We identify performance obligations as the delivery of the requested product or service in appropriate quantities and to the location specified in the customer’s contract and/or purchase order. We generally recognize revenue upon the satisfaction of these criteria when control of the product or service has been transferred to the customer at which time, we have an unconditional right to receive payment. Our sales and sale prices are final, and our prices are not affected by contingent events that could impact the transaction price.
Revenues for sales of our SofPulse® product is typically recognized at the time the product is shipped, at which time the title passes to the customer, and there are no further performance obligations. Royalty/licensing revenue is also recognized at one point in time, when the units are shipped.
In connection with offering products and services provided to the end user by third-party vendors, we review the relationship between us, the vendor, and the end user to assess whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis. In asserting whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis, we consider whether we act as a principal in the transaction and control the goods and services used to fulfill the performance obligation(s) associated with the transaction.
During
the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenue of $
Sources of Revenue
We have identified the following revenues disaggregated by revenue source:
1. | Sales to plastic surgeons | |
2. | Sales to wound care facilities | |
3. | Sales to hospitals | |
4. | Sales to other physicians | |
5. | Royalty fee from licensing, net |
29 |
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the sources of revenue were as follows:
Years Ended | ||||||||
December 31, | ||||||||
2022 | 2021 | |||||||
Direct sales- Plastic surgeons, gross | ||||||||
Royalty/licensing, net | ||||||||
Total sources of revenue | $ | $ |
The royalty/licensing revenue recognized in 2022 resulted from specific transactions. No general patent rights were assigned to the distributor. The revenue recognized was based on the number of items included in the transactions.
Warranty
Our general product warranties do not extend beyond an assurance that the product delivered will be consistent with stated specifications and do not include separate performance obligations.
Significant Judgments in the Application of the Guidance in ASC 606
There are no significant judgments associated with the satisfaction of our performance obligations. We generally satisfy performance obligations upon delivery of the product to the customer. This is consistent with the time in which the customer obtains control of the products. Performance obligations are also generally settled quickly after the purchase order acceptance, therefore the value of unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of any reporting period is generally immaterial.
We consider variable consideration in establishing the transaction price. Forms of variable consideration applicable to our arrangements include sales returns, rebates, volume-based bonuses, and prompt pay discounts. We use historical information along with an analysis of the expected value to properly calculate and to consider the need to constrain estimates of variable consideration. Such amounts are included as a reduction to revenue from the sale of products in the periods in which the related revenue is recognized and adjusted in future periods as necessary.
Practical Expedients
Our payment terms for sales direct to distributors, end users, hospitals and doctors are substantially less than the one-year collection period that falls within the practical expedient in determination of whether a significant financing component exists.
Effective Date and Transition Disclosures
Adoption of the new standards related to revenue recognition did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

A reconciliation of the provision for income tax expense with the expected income tax computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes was as follows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Change in valuation allowance | % | % | ||||||
Total | % | % |
The primary difference between income tax expense attributable to continuing operations and the amount of income tax expense that would result from applying domestic federal statutory rates to income before provision for income taxes relates to the change in the valuation allowance.
The
Company has adopted the accounting standards that clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s
financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not and a measurement process for financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a company must
determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits
of the position, and must assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities. Our policy is to include interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest and penalties totaled $

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure of controls and procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
As required by the SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022, at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following two material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the year ended December 31, 2022. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the authorization of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. The recording of transactions function is maintained by a third-party consultant whereas authorization and custody remains under the Company’s Chief Executive Officer’s responsibility. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
40 |
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
● Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer.
● Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
● Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of the end of our most recent fiscal year, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that as of December 31, 2022, such internal control over financial reporting was not effective. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal control over financial reporting that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives of having segregation of the initiation of transactions, the recording of transactions and the custody of assets; and (3) lack of communication between management and external accounting personnel. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022.
41 |
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) and (2) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management’s report in this annual report.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures: we will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. First, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives of having separate individuals perform (i) the authorization of transactions, (ii) the recording of transactions and (iii) the custody of assets. Second, we will create a senior position to focus on financial reporting and standardizing and documenting our accounting procedures with the goal of increasing the effectiveness of the internal controls in preventing and detecting misstatements of accounting information. Third, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us. Lastly, we will improve channels of communication between management and accounting through regularly scheduled monthly meetings. We anticipate the costs of implementing these remediation initiatives will be approximately $50,000 to $100,000 a year in increased salaries, legal and accounting expenses.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On April 3, 2013, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), in the form of a Certificate of Designation that authorized the issuance of up to one million (1,000,000) shares of a new series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, designated “Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock,” for which the board of directors established the rights, preferences and limitations thereof.
The Company’s board of directors authorized the Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock pursuant to the authority given to the board under the Articles of Incorporation, which authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and authorized the board, by resolution, to establish any or all of the unissued shares of preferred stock, not then allocated to any series into one or more series and to fix and determine the designation of each such shares, the number of shares which shall constitute such series and certain preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of each series so established.
Each holder of outstanding shares of Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one hundred thousand (100,000) votes for each share of Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock held on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at each meeting of stockholders of the Company.
The summary of the rights, privileges and preferences of the Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock described above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation as filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Past maturity Notes
Due to its limited resources, the Company has not been able to pay certain promissory notes when due. As of December 31, 2022, there are $7,163,832 in existing notes with an aggregate principal of $6,748,831 which are beyond their maturity date. Management believes that the Company may have valid defenses as to some of the promissory notes and will be able to modify some of these notes if requested by the holders to do so and otherwise avoid any default.

Role in Risk Oversight
Our board is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The board receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. The board focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy and ensures that risks undertaken by our company are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of such Forms, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2022. there were no delinquent filers.

The Note carries an interest rate of 10% per annum and a maturity date of March 22, 2018, with interest due monthly.

Director Independence
We do not have any independent directors. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
● | the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company; |
● | the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service); |
a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company; | |
● | the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions); |
● | the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or |
● | the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit. |
Mr. Alan Collier is not considered independent because he is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer.
We do not currently have a separately designated audit, nominating or compensation committee.

Audit Related Fees

47 |
Tax Fees
For the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we were billed approximately $7,195 and $8,400 for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
All Other Fees
For the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, we were billed approximately $500 and $0, respectively.
The Company did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our principal accountant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
● | approved by our audit committee; or |
● | entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee’s responsibilities to management. |
We do not have an audit committee. Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what percentage of the above fees was pre-approved. However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
